Who Was the REAL King: Elvis or Michael Jackson?

Both had personal demons, but both were incredible on stage.

    Both:  Elvis was the king of Rock & Roll; Michael Jackson was the king of Pop. 

    Two kings....two kingdoms.

    And I just heard on the way home that the king of Pop is dead.  God rest his soul.  I really hope he is at peace now.

    I'm not sure, maybe it's because of when I was born, but Elvis never captured much of my attention. Michael Jackson, on the other hand, certainly did. We were roughly the same age and it feels like we grew up together. From the kids songs like ABC and Ben all the way up to the midlife classic Man In The Mirror, I can relate so much to all his songs. I know he had issues and I'm not about to excuse them, but from a musical standpoint and for it's relationship to my life, Michael Jackson was everything.

    Due to the "times" and technology MJ was known by more people than Elvis....therefore MJ is King! I hope we can just remember the music!

    What ever blows your skirt up Honey, MJ was a cute little kid...as an adult
    he turned me green....He wanted to look like a female caricature....and wound
    up looking frightening....As to whether he was a child molester or not....well
    that's between he and his God...Sometimes his music was OK...very rarely...
    for me....Give me Elvis....Heck! Give me Englebert...Roy Orbeson..Rick
    Nelson....Someone who didn't look like a freak show.....Awwww yes..
    then there WAS KISS..........!!! Queen???? and Marilynn Manson...
    Keep safe.....and bless your life that you don't have this type of demon to fight....

    MJ must have been a tortured soul to have gone through so many changes to be something he was not. All that talent and potential to end up with so many problems. No one is perfect and those imperfections make us who we really are.....something no amount of money, fame or plastic surgery can erase. God rest his soul.

    Lots of good points here ladies! Nice to have this discussion with some intelligent, respectful women! (But hey, where are all the MEN?)

    Here's what I've been struggling with since Michael Jackson died. Do you think we should separate his musical contribution from his personal life or do we need to look at the whole package. I was watching one of those channels play his videos back to back and I have to admit I'd forgotten how incredible his music was.

    His personal weirdness cast such a giant shadow, I think it swallowed up his greatness. So, should we judge him by his music, or by the bizarre person that he was?

    I think people should judge him by what memories they have of him. I remember him being at a  Christmas parade in downtown Little Rock when he was 6 years old. Such a cute little guy! !  All the things he was involved in later don't matter to me. Life is hard and every one goes down different roads not knowing where they lead. Sadly his was not a happy one.
