Elvis will remain "King" to the era and genre that he touched and graced with his music. The same would be said about Michael Jackson. However if you take into consideration and compare the two's era and genre, Michael would have a much larger following...literally able to touch the world and broke the genre barriers, winning awards not only in R&B and pop but also in Rock. Elvis, still considered King of rock, may have crossed over to the country genre (have to check that one).

Michael brought more than just music to the table. He innovated and influenced the music industry we know today. Whether it be in music style, image, video, and dance. Every thing we see or listen to in this industry, the influence of Michael, the DNA of his talents, can always be found in one form or another. Whether you were a fan of Michael or not, whether you can admit it or not (if not your just in denial..LOL)..but with his death...you were curious, interested and tuned in to see and understand what happen. Listenening to what others had to say. Many of which, came along with tribute videos of this legendary icon. Honestly who can compare? Kenye..sorry but u don't even come close.

Well said soda, I couldn't agree more. I liked them both and in their own way they were both musical geniuses. Both my husband and I have always been fans of Michael and we sat up almost all night on Saturday and watched all of his great videos. He surely will be missed.
