Best Performer

[Web Jim Edmonds]

Who would you say is should go down as the best performer/musician of all time between the two.

"Hail to the King baby!" Elvis, all day everyday. (I'm guessing I'll be in the minority on this one.)

Initially I wanted to say that if everything else was equal, that I'd go with the performer who was the most revolutionary, but it seems like that's pretty much even as well. So I guess just based on whose show I'd rather attend, I'd have to go with Michael Jackson. It just seems like even if you totally hated Jackson's music, you'd still end up really enjoying one of his shows. If you didn't like Elvis music, you probably wouldn't have that great a time at one of his.

If I were allowed to go back in time, and see one of the two live, without even having to think about it, it would be Elvis, without a single doubt in my mind!

 

Thank you very much...

MJ. As time goes on, I think Michael's music will continue to live on, whereas People will know about Elvis, but not go crazy about him (except maybe in Vegas).

I think I'd go with Jacko. Like has been said, his show would probably be better to see. Also, just think about how often you ever hear an Elvis song when you're randomly out somewhere, almost never. I still hear MJ all the time.

Since Carrot Top isn't an option, I will go with Michael.

Man, that's a good one, but I'd go MJ. Go back and listen to one of his albums, every song is a hit! Then on top of it all, he was all about the performance. King vs King.

I hated Jackson as a person and I really didn't like his music....but wow I could watch a music video or performance all day long. Guy was a genius.

Prince.

Hmmm.... good poll. Is this on Epic Rap Battles of History by chance? My vote is for Elvis with a kudos to MJ for some pretty stellar dance moves.
