Who was the King?

As an Elvis fan I feel both were, one can’t say an apple is better than an orange, or can you ?

To those who say there wouldn’t have been a MJ without EP, well there were probably greater artists that existed before and around the same time as Elvis that had a greater influence, but were never truly recognised as such, take Buddy Holly, Bill Hailey, Chuck Berry, BB King, The Beatles, or Little Richard…

Of all the artists we have seen, its fair to say Michael Jackson has had a greater global impact on a greater number of generations than any other artist, ever…so for that reason alone…

Michael Jackson.

9/2/2009 To families and friends; I wish the family of Michael Jackson my deepest sympathy. Michael had seen the world in life and in death
It is now time to let go and bury what left of the corps.
His spirit will always be with us as with the lord, Let him rest in peace if that’s possible. We all will have a chance to
see him at the return of Christ. Again my Condorleancesthe to you.

There won’t be any other King other than Michael Jackson! He, the only one among all the others, is, was and shall forever be the King of Pop! God bless him for all his hard work through which he’s made enormous changes to the world of music! LONG LIVE THE KING!

I’ve NEVER actually believed in all those stupid molestation charges! These charges had the intention of doing nothing but tarnish his marvellous music career!

RIP, MJ! I LOVE YOU!

To start off with, Elvis Presley was always authentic as a professional. Maybe he wore a mask to hide from his fans the man behind it. He used his powerful voice not to critisize negatively anyone. His voice was used to makes happy and praise God. By the way, he didn’t use his voice to praise demons. He treated old people with great respect. Even in the 50s, elderly people came to see him on stage. His shows were full of magic because of his presence on stage and not because of dancers, special effects or high-tech devices which help singers of today sell millions of records. He kissed the girls on their lips and shook the guys hands as an act of brotherhood and friendship and love. Very different from those who wear protective masks or bodyguards to keep their fans away. Everybody knows Elvis was not the creator of Rock, but all of us know that without him the world of music would be naked. Black singers wouldn’t have a chance without him. And he was the protector of black music composers and singers with his own life. He paid a high price for this.
I hope one day soon, to see Elvis again in Paradise, when God – Jehovah – make him rise again and be truly happy as he wished.
In Jesus’ name. God bless you all.

Before Elvis,there was nothing-John Lennon. There have been protenders-there have been contenders-but there is only one “King”-he(Elvis)wrote the book. It all begins and ends with him-Bruce Springstein

I will be 66 years old this year and have witnessed many happenings in this world that we live. The media has blown the Michael Jackson death way out of proportion. When Elvis died 32 years ago the media on television was not 24/7. The media did not realize the role entertainers play in this life. Today, World War III could hit us and CNN would still have Michael Jackson as the top story! To me, this is pathetic. There will never be another Elvis. He had the personality, voice, (he could sing any kind of music with ease), He had great looks without having a “plastic face”. He changed our way of life. He opened the doors to all entertainers. Being from the south, he would often visit “black nightclubs” and considered the blacks to be his friends. Every movie he made was a success and made good money.
Simply put, without Elvis there wouldn’t have been the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, or any other music as we know today. More entertainers were influenced by Elvis than any other person.
