In the Guiness Book of Records as the most successful entertainer of all time. He has won more awards than any other artist. He is globally loved and considered King. He has touched millions of people with his generousity and humanitarian efforts. Most importantly, he was a genius entertainer, composing, writing, singing, dancing, and performing like no one else could. He has influenced every pop star that has come after him. When Michael Jackson went into his “frenzy state” on stage, he took everyone with him. It was the ultimate experience! LOng Live the King!

Firstly I am a true lover of all music, and a huge MJ fan, but I am also a realist when it comes down to the facts, and I would have to say that MJ overshadows Elvis in almost all aspects of music credibility.
Let’s look at the facts.
Let’s first remember that Elvis came out at a time when America never had a true Caucasian rock and roll singer, as all other Rock n Roll artist at that time were black. So all the white teens that were craving to listen to rock and roll didn’t, or couldn’t because they were afraid of being ridiculed. Remember America was still a very racist country in the 50’s and 60’s, and prior musician artists such as Chuck Berry and Little Richard, who were both pioneers of Rock n Roll music couldn’t get their music played on commercial radio stations because they were black. Granted, Elvis did help pave the way for America to start embracing the talents of these and many other black artists, but it was these other artists that pioneered the music that Elvis sang. It was only when at last Elvis came out, that America slowly started to appreciate and embrace Rock n roll music. Elvis was a great singer with a brilliant voice, but had the hard work done for him, as writers all over the world scrambled to get their music turned into hits. Elvis had been credited as a co-writer of many songs thanks to the heavy handed tactics of Colonel Parker, who insisted he be credited otherwise their songs would not be sung by him. All in all Elvis did have an easy ride into his pedestal as the ‘King of Rock n Roll’, a claim that should have really included Chuck Berry, and Little Richard as well, which begs the question, had Elvis been another black man, would we even be talking about him now?
Michael Jackson, on the other hand was the major pioneer of music television, and wrote, produced and arranged the vast majority of his music, he is even one of the very rare artists to have his name inducted into rock n roll music’s Hall of Fame twice, (once as a member of the Jackson Five/ Jacksons, and the other o his own). He is also one of the few artists inducted into the songwriters Hall of Fame. He was also far more popular on a global scale and broke far more records in the music industry than Elvis did. Here are just a few.

First artist to have 4 top ten hits from one Album, with Off the Wall.
Only artist to have seven top ten hits from one album with Thriller
Only artist to have five number one songs from one album with Bad.
Only artist to have seven top ten hits from one album with Dangerous.

However to compare who was bigger at their time is unfair, as Michael had the technology of music video behind him, and I guess MJ’s voice flails when compared to Elvis. But as a musician, entertainer, and artist, Elvis shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jackson.

Michael was the greatest dancer as described by Fred Astaire.
Michael changed music video.
Michael changed fashion and influenced alot of leading designers.
Michael was the most charitable person ever.
Michael played three instuments. Elvis one.
Michael has the best selling album ever. Nothing of Elvis’s comes close. In fact add the bestselling beatles album and the best selling Elvis album and they don’t get close to Thriller.
Michael was a WORLD star. Everywhere other than America, people can’t stand Elvis.
Michael Jackson put black people in white peoples living rooms!!

Michael Jackson has to be the most talented person ever. Elvis was manufactured, he could have quite easily been some other old johnny off the street.
