    I have been an Elvis fan since I was 14 yrs old now I’m65 and I can also say that I was a Big MJ fan as well, all of the fans of Elvis and MJ should be proud, we as American had 2 of the greatest perfomers of our time, niether one will be forgot, both contributed so much to our lives with there music and concerts, at time I wished MJ would have gone in to some gosbel music because he also had a great voice for it. Elvis is the King of Rock and MJ is the King of pop, no doubt about it.

    I was there in Memphis and it was so amazing to see all those thousands of Fan´s from all over the world to celebrate Elvis Birthday in bittercold Temperatures outside.But we Fan´s of Elvis are the most loyal ones an Artist can ever imagine.

    I never said “MJ IS …
    I never said “MJ IS THE KING”.
    He is – but so is Elvis. But they are Kings of two completley different things; Pop and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
    “Where the were you untill MJ dies?” >>> I have been a fan of his for as long as i can remember. I was even at his press conference. I have PROOF.
    “Why do you need to tell this here?” >>> I was just defending MJ against a person just like you would if someone dissed Elvis.
    “This is a celebration site”>>> I am here to celebrate Elvis’s b-day too.

    Come on everybody, …
    Come on everybody, lets show some dignity. No need to come on a celebration site and get into a fight. Only time will tell if there are MJ artists out there for decades after his death.I know I am here for Elvis and the music. I think MJ had great songs but I will discuss that on an MJ site should I feel the need.

    If you want to say …
    If you want to say MJ was unique and one of a kind. I say it too.
    I cried like a river when he died as a huge Elvis fan.
    But we are here to talk about our love for Elvis, not comparison or competition. You made it happen as usual MJ fans…

  8. urfever Says:

    Well… You all MJ …
    Well… You all MJ fans are the ignorant and rude ones because:
    YOU COME TO ELVIS’S SITES TO SAY MJ IS THE KING AND COMPETITION,
    -WHY do you need to tell this here?This is a celebration site
    -Where the were you until MJ dies?

  9. WILDCATSBR Says:

    I shall say it …
    I shall say it again, because as an Ep fan you have difficulty understanding.
    -Yes, I am an MJ fan
    - no, I am not an Elvis fan
    - Just because I am NOT a fan DOES NOT mean I dont like him.

    You seem to think that just because someone isnt a “fan” of an artist, they have to hate them. WRONG.
    i know that Elvis chucked out some good songs, and some of his films were good – but that doesnt mean i have to be a fan.

    Why are elvis fans so rude and ignorant ????

    Q: What do second place race horses and Michael Jackson have in common?
    A: They both come in a little behind.

  11. sanQ Says:

    The Pope has issued …
    The Pope has issued a proclamation on Michael Jackson. If he hears any more allegations about little boys, the Pope says he’ll have no choice but to make him a priest.

    Michael Jackson went to church and confessed “Forgive me father, for I have sinned with young boys”. The priest replied “It’s OK, I have done it also.”

  12. urfever Says:

    Sure… Usual MJ …
    Sure… Usual MJ fan superiority complex… Why are you here then? Go to Mj sites and satisfy yourself…

  13. WILDCATSBR Says:

    Actually I already …
    Actually I already do worship my “child man” as you so call him.
    But if you bothered to read my previous comments (which i might add were NOT to you, so i have no clue why you are talking to me), nowhere did i state that i do not like Elvis.
    A little advice love – do some research before you gob off….

    @WILDCATSBR

    @WILDCATSBR

    why are you here then, go worship your child man,lol

    Every year on Elvis …
    Every year on Elvis’ birthday there is an Elvis Contest and Convention, “Walk A Golden Mile In My Shoes” at Blackpool, UK. The German ETA, Oliver Steinhoff, who was performing the birthday “showcase” didn’t make it because of the freezing weather. The artist who stepped in at the very last minute delighted the fans with a very different tribute (in the video response above)

    It amazes me that …
    It amazes me that you some folks get on to you tube (and they must be seeking out Elvis videos) and then post nasty comments… why bother coming on here, just go to the sites that you like!! Elvis is THE BEST!! If you love MJ..I say fine, go watch/listen to his music

  17. charlotte946 Says:

    what a great …
    what a great celebration, but on the other hand I don’t know if Elvis would have liked those that came out dressed up in a parody of himself, like some kind of carneval was going on, thought they did’nt show the respect he deserved for gibing us so much.
