Music producer and "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson says there are "only a couple of icons throughout history who changed music when they appeared. To me, the two biggest impacts were Elvis and Michael Jackson. He (Jackson) is not quite in the same league."

Among established musicians, Randy Jackson says, no one -- not Prince, not Sinatra, not Justin Timberlake -- has been in the same league. "Today there's no one even in earshot. Elvis pulverized the world. Elvis is another thing -- a whole 'nother thing."

Jackson's fellow music producer and "Idol" judge Simon Cowell says he, too, is a major Elvis fan. To him, only Sinatra might rival Presley. "I think you have to factor in many things. No. 1, I have yet to see anybody who's had 50 percent of his (Elvis') charisma since the day he was launched. Secondly, at the time he was launched what he did had an incredible shock value."

Cowell said the world is no longer subject to being shocked. "We've practically seen inside of Madonna. There's practically nothing else to see."

where's the usual crowd of ignorant internet assholes that usually come along to proclaim that Evlis was a racist and stole everything from black people?


it just isn't an Elvis thread until those morons show up.

This shouldn't have even been discussed. It would have been better if it was Little Richard vs Elvis because it's a really good idea for a debate.

And if you put a "vs. Michael Jackson" thread on prince.org, you're just begging for a MJ bashfest,

Now, I hate to bump a controversial thread but I can't keep my big mouth shut.



Yeah, Lisa Marie totally let her husband sexually assault her children and brushed it off.

Sorry for the visual, but what woman marries to a man (and spends time with him 5+ years even after the divorce) and not get fucked? Again, sorry for the visual but come on. Lisa didn't even put up a front in interviews; whether you want to believe MJ is asexual or what, they did it and thats case closed.

Actually he did. In fact, he was spinning so fast that the fire almost went out by that alone

He's actually older, which makes your point even stronger

I cant be bothered to read through this thread as I can imagine some people are acting like dicks.

In my opinion, Michael Jackson is a far greater entertainer than Elvis was, Ive never understood the fuss about Elvis.

So for me, Jackson was and is 'better'

Did you see my response to this person

For anyone with the ability to post on the internet it would take very little time to really gain an understanding of exactly how global Elvis Presley was in his lifetime. Given the limited (by modern standards) technology, Elvis performed for over a billion and a half people via satelite in 1973. At the time that was a little more than a quarter of the earths population. In the fifties he was the third most successful act on the R & B charts following only Fats Domino and Chuck Berry. Right now Elvis has multiple albums and dvds on the charts around the world. A tour using video footage of Elvis accompanied by live musicians continues to sell out around the world in major venues.

Elvis was the first global artist and has sales over a Billion units. Far more than M.J. and the Beatles.

If you want to talk about musical influence...All of the Beatles cite Elvis as their inspiration, as well as the Stones, So did Jimi Hendrix who watched Elvis in concert in 1957 and decided that he wanted to be a Rock Star when he grew up.

I have been an MJ/Jackson 5 fan since they first came out and I am not writing this in anyway to down play his importance or impact. I just find it sad that in our culture today we have to tear people down to build up someone else. Both of the men played great roles in music/entertainment. Let their achievements speak for themselves.

For those people who have commented about the wierdness of Elvis Presley...Wow... MJ certainly wins in the wierd catergory. (those comments might actually be in another thread but by some of the people who are posting here as well. )

Peace and lovesexy!!!

Re: MJ can barely moonwalk now

You don't remember the 2003 BET Awards during the James Brown Lifetime Achievement Award? He was putting it down.

To be honest, I think the King & Wacko Jacko are tied in the weirdness category.

uPtoWnNY said:

why would you call elvis the king and NOT Michael.. Im sorry but King of Pop is the best title anyone can earn....

uPtoWnNY said:

Unyielding fame and ridiculous fortune can do that to people.

TotalAlisa said:

[Flame snip. Play nice. - luv4u]

TotalAlisa said:

Because Elvis was called the King before Michael. uPtoWnNY could have said the King and King of Pop, but that's his prerogative. The names are meaningless anyway!

MJ's legacy is secure. It doesn't matter what he is or was called.

FunkJam said:

get some mannors...

and please when someone tells you that to your face[Snip - luv4u]remembered what you said to me... and PLEASE.. PM.. and let me know WHEN IT HAPPENS...

TotalAlisa said:

Seriously, if you are 21 as you claim you should start acting it. You lose any credibility you may have when you post comments like this "When i State that michael is the greatest entertainer... its a fact"

FunkJam said:

what i say should not concern you... and cursing at someone is NOT acting like a civilize adult.. so take your own advice.. I can atleast say I actually have respect for people on this forum...

and Im on here to have fun... its not that serious...

TotalAlisa said:

Ok, I'll admit that I was a little too aggressive, I could have been more civilised with that first post.

They're both equally talented, and have both cemented their place in rock/pop history. It's really useless to debate who's better, because their music is so radically different.

No
