Undoubtedly for me Elvis Presley was by far the greatest , it could be that I along those of similar age grew up listening to Elvis and watching his films. His presence on stage was electrifying , as a legend he will live for ever. Michael , as great as he was as a performer , he lacked the confidence and charisma of Elvis. He became rather weird to say the least , and how about that mysterious change of colour , I'm certain the formula will now become generally available to the public at large !!!
Elvis was the King ! |

I don't think it would be appropriate to compare these two on same grounds as Elvis was rather stronger on the singing side, whereas Michael was unbeatable in dancing. |

Just a fun question , but dont forget Elvis the pelvis was seen by his days as a great mover . When he first appeared on American TV , in view of his gyrating hip movements they would only show him from the waist up !!
When Elvis moved women fainted !!
At the end of the day both were performers and a comparison as to their greatness will be made by millions for years to come . I voted for the King !!!! |

I have never heard of Jim Morrisson , honestly !
Seriously though , he died far too young not enough time on the performing circle to qualify amongst the "greatests ." |

People who prefer Elvis are usually a little older than MJ fans  |

| There’s a rumor that during Morrisson’s autopsy, they found syringes shoved up his arse kept there just in case of a worldwide shortage… |
