Elvis didn't play any instruments (apart perhaps from a few chords on a guitar) nor did he write his own songs ; no comparison

Prince will never be as popular as Elvis or as well loved and cherished by his fans, but he's definitely a better musician, that's for sure.

But the point remains the same. Even MJ's got Elvis. At least he writes most of his own songs.

Okay... both Prince and Michael are WAY better the Elvis, way way way better. Elvis is well and by far the most over reated musican of all time. imo. mostly becasue he wasn't a musiscain... lol.

Hummmmm. Where do I start? Bo Diddy, Lil Richard, Chuck Berry, and others were doing Rock and Roll before anyone ever HEARD of Elvis, yet he "invented" Rock and Roll. Fast forward.....Eminem is the number 1 selling rapper yet it's been around years before anyone ever HEARD of him. See a pattern? I do.

A simple question was asked and I gave my opinion. I simply stated that Prince is a much better musician, but Elvis has a more loyal and adoring fan base. If you wish to turn this into another race thread, this is your perogative.

I mean I personally think so too, but saying that kinda comes off as snooty. lol

I REALLY dif Elvis but comparing him to Prince is a bit insane for my taste. It's like comparing a green belt to Bruce Lee.
