Well, then that would probably be Michael. About the main thing really that Elvis did, was to turn music stars into sex symbols...and used Showmanship...MJ took that to another level.
haha, sure. Stick to posting fancy cars.
the shitles own both those fools
I agree, but without Elvis you have no Beatles, most likely!
99% of white posters will say elvis, 99% blacks will say mj.... end of thread
Elvis helped create and define a genre of music. I've met many musicians who acknowledge Elvis as either a direct, or indirect influence. ie He influenced the people they aspire to emulate. I've never met a single one in my 36 years as a musician who cited Michael Jackson as an influence. Not a knock on MJ, but this has been my experience.
MJ couldn't play not one instrument and had his vocal chords surgically altered when he got older...hence the reason why he had that weird goat thing going on with his vibrato on his last albums. Now Prince on the other hand can play over 10 instruments and is one of the greatest guitar players in the world....and isn't a druggie.
MJ could play the piano but his act was based on dancing, and no one cares about Prince lolAnd Prince did use drugs , he had a mini run....MJ was on top and artist of an important decade, the 80s.
One of the greatest guitar players in the world?Ah, nope.
#33 out of 100 according to Rolling Stone.....
Ha. Exactly. Fucking Rolling Stone, a joke my friend. A bad, bad joke. He'd a decent player, no doubt, but in no way one of the greatest.
It's not just about talent, it's about impact.Elvis paved the the way for Jacko. Without Elvis, no Jacko.... Everything would have followed a different trajectory.
Just making a comparison. Show one clip of MJ playing the piano or one ounce of proof Prince did drugs. Not to undermine MJ's "talent".
