Title: Michael Jackson vs. Elvis Presley: Who's more popular???
Post by: Pollux on July 06, 2010, 04:41:27 AM
For years people have gone ape shit over Elvis from Elvis impersonations, to visiting Graceland, etc.. And now with the death of another pedophile music legend (so society thinks) Michael Jackson seems to be causing quite a stir.

So in the end, will Elvis still tromp MJ?

people say mike was a ped.  my mom's aunt said elvis said blk people can only shine his shoes in his youth...so he could have been undercover klanboy.  who the f##k knows?  they both went out on a down note.   mike had more talent that is for sure.

in the end prince done out lasted them all n had the hot women and he was suppose to be a f@g and OD at some pt.

1 mike's voice is better.  listen to them sing.  hits clear notes

2. look at songs mike penned since off the wall.  elvis got alotta ole school black cover s##t his catalog.

mike is the greater talent.  if elvis was blk...it would be like comparing p-diddy to mike.  it just isnt close.  anyway...

Michael Jackson is more popular to answer the question, but only  because he is more recent. Personally I used to like his music back in the 70's and early 80's until it was becoming obvious he was a pedophile. Unlike most Americans, I can't look past that because I like a song.

Well said. I think MJ is really popular at the moment because he's recent. Elvis has always and will always be the most popular, I believe.

how was mj more talented?

quincy jones wrote his music and lyrics, he just performed them.

yes, there's the argument that elvis stole black music (which i believe), but he wrote his own.

both ended up on a down note, i'll agree.  but whereas it was somewhat commonplace and accepted that rockstars were druggies and alchies, it's not acceptable to be a pedophile.  does that overshadow music?  i guess it does in my book.

so i'll vote for elvis.

Elvis did a benefit concert and donated the money to help build the Arizona Memorial in Hawaii.  He is the most popular of the 2.  Pllus he was pretty successful on the big screen too.  MJ is awesome though but Elvis just had that "it" factor.  Prince is one ugly guy.  He gets the hottest chicks because he helps them start their careers and pays them.  Ask Vanity or Carmen Electra.  Elvis has lasted over 50 years and 30+ after his death his estate still pulls in more than $100 million a year

Absolutely agree!

Some people may like MJ better, but Elvis is the greatest ever. As someone else just said, he and his music have stood the test of time. People still listen to his music now and he is a true icon. We'll have to see if MJ can reach the same level of greatness in the future.

Elvis also had one of the best voices ever in my opinion. He also starred in several popular movies back then, its not even close.

MJ had his great dance moves for sure, but what a voice Elvis had.

Absolute rubbish.

Its a generation question and relative.
Jackson died last year. Elvis died over 4 decades ago. Which is fresher in the minds of 'generation nothiness'? lol
Lets put it this way on Jackson's anniversary I didnt see any greater efforts of rememberance than Elvis's anniversary.
Remember MJ has only just gone 6ft under.

I wouldnt count that fake ass concert a fitting tribute.

Elvis clearly from a Uk point of view, i duno what its like world over.Nobodys been interested in jackson apart from seeing him live for about 20 years.His albums have been terrible in that time, and im saying that as a fan of his stuff.

More people around the world went apeshit over Mike. Only southern people, closet Klansmen, people who liked Elvis' movies, and overweight women like Elvis. Dude paved the way for the likes of Eminem---that is white people who do black music. Elvis made a career out of that, if he wasn't exposed to black music, he would have been a baby faced klansmen. Mike has beaten Elvis' sales several times over, by the 90s. Mike, was the shit as a child, Elvis was not. Mike was a natural performer---women got excited when all Elvis did was swivel his hips...

As far as Prince, more people have been conceived by Prince music than Mike's or Elvis' put together.

You make a convincing argument. And let's not forget Elvis shot his tv, had a TCB motto and crashed the Nixon White House. Game. Set. Match.

Presley:

Crashed the White House and demanded to meet Nixon which he duly obliged within 36hrs.
He called the most powerful man in the western world, 'tricky dickie'. He was higher than mofo on pharmaceutical cocaine at the time.
He blagged an honourary FBI badge, never given to the public.
He collected police badges for fun and also had enough of a firearms arsenal to put a small country to shame.
He went undercover with the narc squad with several police depts on busts, again higher than a mofo.
He had two way mirrors installed in Graceland so he and the boys could rag on each other when they were putting the moves on with chicks.
He studied Karate.
He loved his mum.
He had old southern values.


Jackson:

Groomed and nonced.....

BTW, MJ world wide was a religion. Women and grown ass men would faint and fall down just at the mere sight of him. Here, he was a recluse and a joke, which why he prolly spent more time around the world than here.

Exactly! Men wanted to be him. Women wanted to fuck him.

As for MJ... well... people just wanted to dance like him.  ;D

So true.

Elvis was so good looking he looked like a god. Simply the most beautiful and coolest person who ever lived.

Dude, MJ is known all over the planet, shit even Greys know who he is....show a sparkley glove, or shades, everybody thinks Mike. Show butterfly collars, huge sideburns, and bellbottoms, you got anybody from the 70s.
To the world, Elvis was what personified bad America---a two bit hick, Mike was the American dream. And everybody outside of the US knew who Mike was, when he was little, to his teens, young adult and as of recently.

For years people have gone ape shit over Elvis from Elvis impersonations, to visiting Graceland, etc.. And now with the death of another pedophile music legend (so society thinks) Michael Jackson seems to be causing quite a stir.

So in the end, will Elvis still tromp MJ?

I'd have to say Michael Jackson

Bullshit post.

I've NEVER EVER heard of Elvis referred to as any type of racist...undercover or otherwise.

Elvis' early music was based off of black music...hell his very first hit was "That's Alright Mama" originally sung by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. Elvis would walk down Beale St and see Pee Wee Crayton, BB King, T-Bone Walker and numerous other black musicians, steal their tricks (dress style, the hip wiggle even came from these guys) and sang gospel music by the Soul Stirrers, Gospel Hummingbirds and all sorts of other race artists at the time.

I think his downfall was peanut butters, banana, and bacon sandwiches.

As far as choice...  I think Michael Jackson is one of the creepiest guys the world ever produced. A bluck guy turned white, baby dangler, plastic surgery mess, who's obsessed with young children, named his child blanket, has an amusement park for young kids, it goes on forever. He was a weirdo to the fullest.

Elvis had southern values and upheld certain beliefs. His daddy was very racist.
Elvis once or twice had an outburst (drug fuelled). In particular once against the sweet inspirations.

He was very apologetic about it afterwards but that was Elvis. He would have a fit of rage and afterwards buy you some jewellery or a vehicle, his way of saying sorry.

He respected and drew inspiration from an array of R&B artists.
Elvis introduced black R&B to white mainstream and th world. You have top remember this man changed the world and the way music is heard to this day.

His song 'If i can dream' for his '68 comeback was penned for him during the turmoil of the late sixties. Racial tension, the vietnam war, the assassination of Martin Luther and Kennedy were all points that troubled him and he made a point of airing this.

Hardly the rationale of a redneck.

"A lot of people seem to think I started this business, but rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it: I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that." - Elvis Presely

That's the worst rebuttal I've ever read.

That's akin to saying "BayGBM says G_Thang sucks cock, and what Bay says is always true; everyone is gay to some extent. And BayGBM has passed on so we can't find out his sources for the info."

Elvis had a redneck father, but a sweetheart of a mother. So perhaps he was 50/50 on the racist aspect, but I highly HIGHLY doubt it!

You don't sing, dress and have influences to the degree of Elvis from the black genre and still be racist.

In his prime on stage, Elvis sported 12.75" of rippling biceps, and could do squats with no bar for 3 sets of 12 in the gym. This was amazing considering synthetic anabolic steroids didn't exist at the time.

When Elivs died the world stopped and didn't want to believe it could be true.

When Michael died we all busted out our best pedophile jokes and his own father tried to find a way to milk one last dime out of his strange little son.

Ummm.....on what planet were you last year? Jackson's death DOMINATED THE NEWS for over a month. Heck, they even bumped tributes to Farah Fawcett, who has passed away earlier that day, upon learning of Jackson's passing. Half the radio stations where I live were playing Jackson's songs ALL DAY. We had a congressmen complaining about serious issues that needed to be addressed on air. But, they couldn't get any air time, because the news network were all locked on Jackson. Even major press conferences by President Obama couldn't get Michael Jackson bumped off the air.

His funeral gobbled up all three major networks and all the cable news networks as well. MTV did special after special after him, stating how Jackson changed the face of music videos and entertainment, especially for black artists, as MTV was originally designed to be an outlet for rock music. The folks there talk about how initially they wouldn't even play Jackson's videos. When they finally did, begrudingly, business really picked up. They went from not wanting to even air his videos to breaking their necks to get first crack at them.

Michael Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson to play the King of Pop in Antoine Fuqua-directed biopic

The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic has found its King of Pop.

Director Antoine Fuqua (Emancipation) revealed on Instagram Monday morning that Jackson's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, will play the iconic musician in the upcoming Michael.

"Proud to announce @jafaarjackson as Michael — the motion picture event that explores the journey of the man who became the King of Pop. Coming soon," Fuqua wrote alongside a photo of Jaafar practicing some of Michael's legendary moves in a very familiar outfit.

Michael is the latest in a recent trend of musician biopics that have so far fared well with both audiences and awards bodies. Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, for example, netted eight Oscar nominations last week, with star Austin Butler a strong contender to win Best Actor. In 2019, Rami Malek earned that very trophy for his portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. It's no surprise that one of the producers behind Bohemian Rhapsody, Graham King, is also working on Michael.

Closer to home, the jukebox musical MJ The Musical has been successful on Broadway, grossing millions in ticket sales and earning lead actor Myles Frost the award for Best Actor in a Musical at the 2022 Tony Awards.

Deadline reports that the film "will not shy away from the controversies of Jackson's life," most notably the multiple allegations of child sexual abuse (for which Jackson was tried and acquitted in 2005). A decade after Jackson's 2009 death at the age of 50, those allegations were explored in the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck alleged that Jackson sexually molested them for years when they were children. The Jackson estate has called those allegations "absolutely false."

Those interested in Jaafar's talents can check out the music video for his 2019 song "Got Me Singing," which has more than 8 million views on YouTube.

Worldwide? Michael Jackson easily.

You can still hear his songs on generic radio stations.

You'd have to get real specific to find channels playing Elvis stuff.

I was born in 1981, and besides that my parents didnt listen to Elvis. From the little I've heard of his songs, I wouldn't be a fan of that type of music anyway, so that really isn't an idictment on him.

But what about Prince? Now that he's been dead for a few years now, let's throw him in the conversation.

In popularity, he is a distant third compared to Elvis and Mike. However, seeing how well he played the guitar, look it up, he rivals the best ever. And that he played multiple instruments, starred in a successful movie, and wrote the majority of his songs....dude was a fucking legend in his own right. To top it all off his voice wasn't that far off from Elvis or Mike's either.

Look up Prince playing guitar. He was literally one of the best ever. Did Elvis play instruments? Did Mike? However MJ's music catalog destroys Prince's.

Michael Jackson's music will definitely have a longer shelf life than Elvis or Prince.

You can see it right now on the radio.

I said he was a distant third to Michael and Elvis.

However,  I think he is far more talented than Elvis, MJ has him on the songs and on the entertainment value (dancing) but was he more talented? I guess it's up to choice. Do you consider a dancer to hold up to one of the best guitarists in history?

I'd still personally pick MJ. He has the catalogue, and the entertainment value that rivals, nobody.

Who is more popular is a tough question. Who deserves to be more popular, I'd say Elvis. But MJ is more current  and may give him the edge in polls. But If I was a betting man, I would side with Elvis

Prince was more talented than both Elvis and MJ combined.  Prince could sing, dance and by Eric Clapton's estimation was the greatest guitar player he'd ever seen.

Its really a tough call. Elvis was 50's 60's 70's. What he did was inarguably cutting edge. mj and Prince, phenomenal talents.  That's kind of why I side with a few of my friends who hate making art a contest...

I was going overboard on Prince.  But I've wondered for years about what Prince's popularity would have been like had Michael Jackson never existed.  I agree with your friends on making art a contest.  Different strokes for different folks.

For me.. I was a prince fan...regardless of MJ. I appreciate MJ. He unlike Elvis, wrote and orchestrated his hits. But Elvis was an entity to himself at the time. MJ was a musical genius that wrote most of his hits. But Prince was a force to be reckoned with. He was multi talented and as we saw in his appearance with Gently Weeping, he took no prisoners. I hesitate to guage them against each other and I'm comfortable in saying that they made an impact

This may be old news but if ANYONE has not heard Princes version of Nothing Compares 2U with Rosie Gaines live.... give it not one... but 3 listens. The problem is we are all use to Shenead's verson, which is phenomenal, ... but Prince does it live with Rosie Gaines. 1st time I heard it I was unimpressed, because I was conditioned. But after 3 hearings... and especially the exchange between Prince and Rosie on the Doctor portion, it turned me into a fan

I would love to hear back on ya'lls perspective

For years people have gone ape shit over Elvis from Elvis impersonations, to visiting Graceland, etc.. And now with the death of another pedophile music legend (so society thinks) Michael Jackson seems to be causing quite a stir.

So in the end, will Elvis still tromp MJ?

This question was answered in 1983.

Happy 40th anniversary !!!!!!!

I went to a Paul McCartney concert a few years ago (nh).  It was interesting that there were people there born in at least six different decades who all knew every word to every one of these 50-year-old Beatles songs.  I'm not sure there are any other musicians like that, certainly not many.

There are similar cases on smaller scales, e.g. there are Bob Dylan songs that "everyone" knows, Jimmy Buffet etc., but with the Beatles it's like every song.

Elvis was MUCH more popular and had MANY MANY more fans than MJ in the 50s and 60s

Elvis was Britney Spears of his era.
Phenomenal performer who relied on songs of other people.
Like in anything, eras are not compareable, taste of the masses is different.

Michael was more talented as a musician. He knew enough about the business as how to tap into main stream. Not unlike Madonna and Springsteen of his era.

Prince was a mad genius in this. Made his own song/music. Played every instrument!
Did what he liked. Made songs to others. Not neccesarily trying to please the mass market. Althought hugely popular for sure.

I think prince was more of a musicians musician. Man on the street didn’t know he could shred the guitar or make your legs get bumbs with the bass, but others within his profession did. And admired.
