It depends on what you're really asking here. Do you mean Pop or do you mean Rock and Roll? There's different genres of R&R and also of Pop, so lumping them makes it hard to pick just one King of All.

Elvis is the King
Rick Nelson is the Prince of Rockabilly
Michael Jackson is neither.

Elvis Presley...he's not rock by nowadays standards, so he is the Pop King.

Elton John. Because he's called SIR Elton John now. At least he hasn't played kiddie music for the entirety of his career.:rolleyes:

Justin Timberlake??:confused:

How about...the King of MTV?

I swear, him and that channel belong together. Not only do they play his videos every second, show specials about his tour, and other crap but they both disgust me!

By the way, I'm ticked at MTV, see the Foo Fighter's post and you will understand. Although this feeling has been building up for a while....that was the straw that broke the camels back though.

I heard that about the Foo Fighters video.:mad: Gee, MTV IS a kiddie station. Nothing really cutting edge or different or fun. I heard on the FF website you can see the video.

Yeah, AKA told me that you can prolly see it on rollingstone.com too.

But geez! I think some of the ho's in those rap videos are probably worse than that.

I think Michael Jackson will always be the King of Pop. EVERYONE tries to duplicate him but no one can be him.

Michael Jackson is proof of the american dream!

I mean, only in america could a young black boy become an old white woman!

Oh, but as for his music... Well... there were a few good songs on Thriller... and the Jackson five wasn't too bad. But otherwise, Jackson was average with a good hype machine behind him.

However, the hype machine couldn't even help when he started playing "hide the salami" with children. :D

Ha ha ha not

The reason why i put Justin Timberlake on the poll is because must of you Americans
say he is the new King of Pop and that Michael Jackson does Timberlake moves when Timberlake copies his vocal singing

he is also soing an album with nsync during his solo career just like Jackson did in the 80's with Jacksons:mad:

It's a shame Michael's life got so freaky the past 10 years or so because he is extremely talented. I really can't say I'm an extremely devoted fan, though.

That comment about Michael going from a young black boy to an old white woman--gee, I heard that same exact comment on VH1.

I've always like Elton John, so I'll go with him.

I have nothing against Justin, but I'd be curious to see if he's still in the music business in 25 years.

Michael is the King of Pedophillia as far as I'm concerned.


I vote Elvis!

Elvis has the title of, The King
Michael Jackson, The King of Pop
Aretha Franklin, The Queen of Soul
James Brown was something, like the King of Soul. Not sure about that one.
Bruce Springsteen is The Boss.

These are the industry accepted titles. I'm not sure if you're asking for our personal opinion or Michael Jackson's official title in the entertainment industry.

I think he wanted our personal opinions from the choices above.

I'm bumping this because I have nothing better to do...lol

First, Michael has vitiligo so the "Black man to white woman" comments are kinda mean-spirited as essentially your picking on a person for something they can not control.

Next, I love Michael, but I'm not into the "titles".


Finally to push a few buttons,lol


Elvis cannot touch Michael's success. Michael broke racial barriers and was able to garner the type of success many people of color had been denied for years (not success, but SUCCESS lol). Elvis "borrowed" his act from a certain group or sector of the US who weren't allowed to be visble in the mainstream media. All this "before anyone did anything Elvis did it all" kinda annoys me, as he really just copied what others (who would have never recieved the attention he did) invented and became the "King" with it.


You can berate me and tear my post apart now...lol

I suppose there may be a few (VERY FEW lol) who'll agree with me. :lol:

My favorite is Elton John! I am also into The Beatles, The Eagles,
The Doobie Brothers and Chicago. I also like listening to Jerry
Clower, a country comedian from Mississippi.

2 points

- Hannah, If you actually believed Michael did something as horrible a molesting a young child, how could you laugh at it?

- Technically, Elvis proceeded Michael as "the King of Pedophillia" (Of Elvis' pedophillia acts can be proven, the accusations against Michael's can't).

No problem...

Although I don't really consider it "sticking up for Mike", so much as putting the truth out there.

Because Mike looks a certain way (because of the ravages of vitiligo) and is eccentric (Ok, VERY eccentric lol), I think people love to take the rumors and the media reports as the truth. They won't look any further simply because the person the report is on is a "freak" therefore this "rumor" about him "must be true" as well. I've been a fan of Mike's for too long to believe everything I see, hear, or read simply because it's reported as the "truth."

will people get over this "Elvis is evil" kick?

I know a lot of Elvis-bashers make a big deal that some people "won't get over his death". Hello?!? HEARD OF TUPAC? Like rap fans are any different with him as a generation are with Elvis???
