Debate: Elvis or Jackson , who's a better singer?
Side: jackson

You can say what you want about Micheal's personal life but their is no denying that when it come to music he was the best that ever did it. Elvis was a great artist but Micheal is even greater. Micheal was like Elvis, James Brown and The Beattles rolled into one person. Micheal Jackson did it all ( He created the moonwalk, all dancers rate him as the best), singing( biggest selling album ever)and created groundbreaking videos(thriller the video the made mtv and set the standard for music videos to follow) .Elvis was good but he never did the things micheal did and elvis did not have the worldwide appeal Micheal did. They say Elvis sold a billion records but if you did the math the numbers don't add up look for yourself, im not hating on elvis cause he was great ,im just stating the facts, even if he did micheal still sold more copies per album on average. Elvis made 90 albums. Micheal made 10 and sold 750 million to date. If you to divide the amount of units sold per album micheal sold way more and had more singles than elvis did. Elvis= 90 albums divide by 1 billion units = 11 + million copies per album. Micheal= 10 albums divide by 750 million units= 75 million copies per album. Micheal wrote His own music Elvis had wirters. Micheal united races something Elvis never did. talent should be all that matters when it comes to their music and not their personal lives. Micheal is the worlds greatest entertainer.Hands down.

Michael Jackson hands down. Elvis was hugely popular in the 1950's but burned out by the 1960's. He had a great voice but never wrote 1 song her sang. He stole from black artist in the 1950's. Hound dog from mama thorton I think her name is. A black blues singer sung heartbreak hotel before Elvis. The Beatles hit in the 60's true innovators of music and what was Elvis doing in the 60's? Starring in b grade movies. He became huge after his death. Michael Jackson was not huge in America but was huge in Europe and other countries before he died. His 50 concerts in London sold out in 6 hours. Elvis did not have the whole package like Michael did. Did he ever write his own music? No! He could not dance except to wiggle his hips a little and he could not act worth a crap.

Elvis didn't invent a new "style"??? How many people sang like Elvis BEFORE Elvis. Granted he is not credited to creating rock n' roll, or even rockabilly for that matter, but his vocal tones were very unique. In terms of dancing, they didn't call him "Elvis The Pelvis" because he stood still on stage. Dont confuse the word "style" with "genre"...

Rolling stone listed elvis as the 3rd best singer in popular music . Mj 25 . Elvis had incredible range and had number ones in gospel , country , rock and roll and rb. Elvis is the only artist to be listed in 4 hall of fames . Mj always sounds the same and lip synced a lot . I suggest you listen power of my love then stand by me . It's amazing that both songs are elvis

Elvis Presley didn't write most of his songs. He was pretty famous but Michael Jackson was much bigger in terms of song writing, composing and even choreographing his own songs, music videos, his iconic clothes and EVEN handled the business part of it. Prince comes close but he isn't iconic as Michael Jackson is. Michael Jackson as a whole package is best by far.

This is quite hard to choose but i have to go for Jackson on this one he is a great singer and i think had better songs than Elvis.Youths now would probs not like Elvis's songs because there not modern but the reason why youths like Michael is because he has great modern songs.

Have you ever even listened to Michael Jackson's song's? MJ sang Funk/Disco, Pop, Rock, Gospel, R&B, etc... And Michael Jackson had more fans. He was more worldwide, while Elvis was more popular in the U.S. Michael Jackson is FAMOUS for helping and giving so much to child in need. He gave so much to charities when he was alive and in his will, he even left a large portion of his money to charity. Michael Jackson had a message in all of his songs. He wanted the world to be a better place. He wanted to help suffering child. Michael Jackson never hurt any children. Don't you think it's odd that both the families that accused Michael of molesting their kids, didn't go to the police first? The first family tried extorting money from Michael before they ever went to the police. Michael refused to give him money, and the father was even caught on tape saying that he shouldn't have stop answering his phone calls and now he's going to get back at him. And the second family went to the lawyer of the first accuser before they ever went to the police. They also tried extorting money from George Lopez and Jay Leno. And Michael was found innocent in court.

First of all, Michael Jackson transformed POP music into what it would later become known as-- "popular music"-- by cutting and cross-cutting element after element after element of different styles, not confining himself to one particular genre.Sounds like a certain Elvis to me. technically outstrip any of Elvis' rather weak additions to the religious music genre.Technically? What do you mean by that? Because technically, An American Trilogy is a brilliant song, with Elvis singing bass and going to around a C5 in the same song.make fools out of anyone who dares try to classify them.Elvis did exactly the same, bear in mind that he came 10-20 years or so before MJ. His albums lacked the quality of Jackson'sJackson's albums are heavily dependent on hit singles. If the likes of "The Girl is Mine" hadn't been released as a single, no-one would remember them. Elvis had more range than people give him credit for on here, but he is still light years away from spewing out the quality vocals Michael Jackson delivers on his cover of Come Together (1986), which defied all previously-known vocal signatures he had.It's nice to see someone that appreciates his range, but it is hardly "light years" away from Jackson. My ear for pitch isn't great, but I put Elvis at just below 3 octaves, which is absolutely outstanding. And what gives Elvis the vocal edge for me is that no-one is sure whether he was baritone, tenor, or even bass, which really shows off how many styles he had. and even in breakaway songs like A Little Less Conversation, he sounds like ELVISA Little Less Conversation is not an Elvis song, in my opinion.By the 70's, Elvis' voice no longer stood out among his peersNo Jackson's vocal style has been imitated (and has helped CARRY songs) by Justin Timberlake, Usher, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Bruno Mars, Fall Out Boy, and Alien Ant Farm. And nobody, no matter how hard they try, can get it right. Some, admittedly, aren't trying. Others are trying as hard as they can. Regardless, his voice remains UNIQUE, and not because people aren't putting in the effort.Elvis's voice has inspired FAR more legendary singers. Freddie Mercury (the greatest of all time, imo), Robert Plant, and guess who? Michael Jackson.Anyway...Michael Jackson wins a singing contest with Elvis any day of the week.No. MJ was a good singer, Elvis was on another level. Maybe a MJ would win a miming contest...

Rolling stone listed elvis as number best singer in history . Mj number 25 . You claim mj sang a wide variety ? Really ? Elvis had number ones in rock , r&b, gospel and country . Clearly elvis could sing all types and hit number one on all those charts . Elvis us the only artist to be inducted into all 4 hall of fames . FYI elvis and mj were both named artist of the century and entertainer of the century . So please don't mention awards . Bottom line if mj could sing it all he would have hits besides pop

And to clarify, the trans-formative quality of Jackson's voice has GOT to be listed as an advantage for him because...it's one thing to have a unique voice...but it's another altogether, to craft, out of that voice, more unique voices. To alter it..and nevertheless remain inimitable, AND envied. Jackson did this. Presley did not.And furthermore...anybody who thinks this is a real competition is losing sight of the astounding body of work that Jackson did in his adolescent years. I mean, seriously? Dude was doing vocal harmonies and duets that left people speechless...BEFORE the music videos (to the person that said Jackson needed video to be appealing). With all due respect, Elvis was washed up by the late 60's. Jackson released his first #1 in '69, and even if you wanted to make the argument that on the whole, 2000's were not kind to him, You Rock My World peaked at #10 on the Hot 100, in 2001. And Butterflies was a monster R&Bsong, peaking at #14 on the Hot 100, and #2 on the Billboard R&Bchart in 2002. That's 32 years of SOLID hits. If Elvis had any more talent than what he displayed toward the end, it surely had the opportunity to come out before he passed away.

Michael Jackson could do anything with his voice. It had so much incredible range. Elvis's voice wasn't like that. He sung one way, unlike Michael. No performer in the long history of performers, has ever been even close to being as talented as Michael Jackson was. That is the truth. He is and will always be the best.

Actually, I'd say the reverse is true. Everyone knows how high MJ can go, but his actual range is quite limited. Elvis, on the other hand, covers anywhere from 2-3 octaves in his voice. Listen to the G sharp in "It's Now or Never", then tell me Elvis has a limited low voice.

I think Michael Jackson was the better singer, dancer, performer, and Artist. Elvis didn't know how to dance like MJ did. Yes, Elvis had his "signature moves" but Michael Jackson was an amazing dancer. He was perfection... Also Elvis never wrote any of his songs, not one! And Michael wrote and produced almost all of his. And according to the Guinness World Records, "Michael Jackson is The Most Successful Artist of All Time". Enough said..

Jackson's vocal range is a lot bigger... So he can sing really low and high notes.. He wrote 211 songs (confirmed by BMI) while Elvis wrote only 2, he didn't had that talent... Also Michael has 442 awards while Elvis won just 6... Awards like "Artist of the Millenium", "Most popular name in the history of the modern music", "Outstanding Humanitarian Award" ,"Best international male artist" and won GUINNESS award for "The most successful entertainer of all-time" belong to Michael ...

Jackson's Thriller (1982) remained at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart for thirty-seven weeks, second only to the soundtrack for West Side Story. Thriller spent a record 80 consecutive weeks, more than a year and a half, in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. It was the first of only three albums that have remained in the Top 10 for more than one year (along with Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill and Celine Dion's Falling into You). It is the only album to have sold more copies in the United States than any other in two separate years, topping the sales charts in 1983 and 1984, and selling over 29 million copies to date. Worldwide, its sales total has been estimated at 110 million copies by Jackson's management; "Thriller" is the top-selling album in history.

Michael Jackson was also a lot more creative and artistic then Elvis was. Elvis was a great musician, but his creativity could never match that of Michael Jackson's. Jackson was also a great man. Jackson gave away a lot of money to charities and was highly respected by music greats like Sir Paul Mccartney and Eddie Van Halen. Another thing is that Jackson had a much wider variety of music styles from songs like P.Y.T to songs like Dirty Diana and Beat it. When you pin two great musicians against each other it is tough to make a decision but in the end Michael Jackson was the better of the two. It's sad that both artist's had to die so young but their music still will live on forever.
