ELVIS VS THE BEATLES


If Elvis and the Beatles had a 'sing-off' as I like to call it, who would win? I say Elvis because he had the voice and the moves to wipe out all four of the Beatles.

Elvis' voice was far superior to any/all of the Beatles but i think this is an apples and oranges question.
Elvis sang, with the voice of and angel, material that was written by others - and a great variety of others at that.
The Beatles wrote their own music, for the most part, and belong to the Singer/Songwriter tradition.

I like to congratulate the idiot that put a topic that is tired in YOUTUBE, and brings this mess over here.


First of all this don't make sense.
So it is the old age pensioners versus a long-living Legend, who's been dead of 31 years, how do we vote? which half-dead old man flogs the dead guy? This is ridiculous. If it's The Rolling Stones Vs the Beatles - then this is a war of Old men with free travel Bus passes who were in A BAND.

Okay! So you want to know my opinion who wins?
I HATE...I repeat I HATE The Beatles, never liked them and I never will.
Their Music is hard to listen to, and they are not my style. they made 250 million sold copies. If other people like the Beatles - well good for you then! But I don't give a crap about Men that make sh*t music and that passed their cell-by-date.

Elvis will be The King - his Music - sold one billion copies as most successful Artist - and I can't remember which cretineous pr*ck on this thread said he is not an Artist ( and only Beatles are Artists) and not knowing the Definition - because if you can understand the influence and the power of music and dance - also breaking down Racial issues and Puritan attitudes. Artists are the most successful innovators that change the world - that that is what Elvis had done.
His Voice, his performance, staggering good looks can not be denied. Elvis inspired John Lennon, Jim Morrison, and admired by Led Zepplin - and made Rock and Metal Music, a new Genre to be possible and enter the mainstream.
So Elvis is number one.

okay! are you satisfied? And don't bring stupid topics like that again.

You know what? I believe there is no such thing as comparison. You cannot compare Venus to Aphrodite and therefore you cannot compare Elvis with The Beatles.

Exactly aura 772! The singers represented two different styles of music and would never compete. I loved them both!
