a lot of feeling and emotion. his vocal range was amazing
I think elvis is the king of music and he's voice is better than Michal Jackson voice
ELVIS will always be ' the King'of Rock & Roll.Elvis sold over a billion records. Every Elvis fan knows there history.Do your homework.

I think Elvis personified the superstar entertainer image. He was inspired by a number of artists like Michael was, and morphed different singing and dancing techniques into his own unique style. No one can ever top his incredible voice in my opinion. He is beloved by the world as is evidenced by the thousands who still visit his home 42 years after his death.
Yes
Michael had a beautiful, very expressive voice but Elvis for me is the definitive voice! Greater than Frank Sinatra or anyone else1 Elvis's voice was more versatile and adaptable to a wide range of musical styles. And he was perfect looking too! Michael was obviously an amazing dancer and songwriter too, same as Prince! We are blessed to have had these amazing artists in our lifetimes!
both
ELVIS HAD A INCREDIBLE STAGE PERFORMANCE THE GREATEST VOICE IN THE RECORDED HISTORY THE KING FOREVER
Elvis had an amazing voice, talent, charisma, and he was first person to do something in everything he did. He had an amazing range in his voice that let him be able to sing all kinds of music. He could sing Rock 'n' Roll, Pop, Country, Gospel, and Rhythm & Blues. Elvis also had an awesome career. From his early years in the 50's, the Army years, the Movie years, the '68 Comeback Special, and the Vegas and Concert years in the 70's. Elvis truly is "The King."
jackson could never sing gospel!
i like the elvis voice
Just listen to him sing. Obvious.
When singing romance to women Elvis has a certain touch
He had a stronger variety of music - religious to country to pop - and he was excellent at all of them!
Elvis all day he never had plastic surgery
elvis could sing evevything
Elvis sings anything
Elvis sings anything
Could sing anyting.
Elvis had alot more range and control
'Elvis' lowest effective note was a low-G, as heard on 'He'll Have To Go' (1976); on 'King Creole' (1958), he growls some low-F's; going up, his highest full-voiced notes were the high-B's in 'Surrender' (1961) and 'Merry Christmas Baby' (1971), the high-G at the end of 'My Way' (1976 live version), and the high-A of 'An American Trilogy' (1972); using falsetto, Elvis could reach at least a high-E, e.g, as in 'Unchained Melody' (1977), so, it was very nearly a three-octave range, although more practically two-and-a-half'.
George Barbel
On his live versions of songs like 'How Great Thou Art' (1975), 'Unchained Melody' (1976) and 'Hurt' (1977), you will be able to hear how high he can go; but, it is essentially on 'What Now My Love' (sang live at his 'Aloha from Hawaii' global telecast, which reached 1 billion viewers when first aired in 1973), where he goes up three octaves at the end of the song, that you can really hear his true vocal power.
Cory Cooper on Presley's vocal range, as published ALLEXPERTS.com, February4, 2005.
Elvis Presley has been described variously as a baritone and a tenor. An extraordinary compass- the so-called register -, and a very wide range of vocal color have something to do with this divergence of opinion. The voice covers two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Presley's best octave is in the middle, D-flat to D-flat, granting an extra full step up or down. Call him a high baritone. In 'It's'now or never', (1960), he ends it in a full voice cadence (A, G, F), that has nothing to do with the vocal devices of R&B and Country. That A-note is hit right on the nose, and it is rendered less astonishing only by the number of tracks where he lands easy and accurate B-flats. Moreover, he has not been confined to one type of vocal production. In ballads and country songs he belts out full-voiced high G's and A's that an opera baritone might envy. He is a naturally assimilative stylist with a multiplicity of voices - in fact, Elvis' is an extraordinary voice, or many voices.
Henry Pleasants, in his book 'The Great American Popular Singers' (1974)
3."Elvis Presley is like the 'Big Bang' of Rock 'n' Roll. It all came from there and what you had in Elvis Presley is a very interesting moment because, really, to be pretentious about it for a minute, you had two cultures colliding there. You had a kind of white, European culture and an African culture coming together - the rhythm, okay, of black music and the melody chord progressions of white music - just all came together in that kind of spastic dance of his. That was the moment. That's really it. Out of all that came the Beatles and the Stones, but you can't underestimate what happened. It does get back to Elvis."
-- Bono of U2
Saying that Elvis is an icon doesn’t quite cut it. There’s really never been anyone else who’s come along since that could fill his mammoth shoes in terms of talent, looks, style, presence and star power– and likely never will be. Don’t even think the words “Michael Jackson”, no way. Not. Even. Close. Jackson took a lot of style cues from Elvis, from his trim black pants, white socks, and black loafers– and obviously his slick dance moves were a tribute to the King’s infamous gyrations first unleashed back in ’56 on “The Milton Berle Show” and “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Those infamous performances (for which he was paid handsomely for, and drew ratings that were off the charts) instantly made him public enemy #1 with parents (who feared the effect that his racy “colored” music would have on their kids) as well as self-appointed decency censors and morality police across the nation.
it was dynamic in so many ways, the voice changed over time..listen to jailhouse rock and then listen to hurt....the power , the range, the inflection in certain areas of a song ... michael had a nice voice in the jackson five but later in life there was screeching, various hiccups....eeee aaaaaaahhhhh....michael in his music makes lots of sounds , but vocally his pitch changes and goes right into making sounds
Because it's the truth! I love MJ as well but he nor noone else was given Elvis' vocal range!
Elvis ownes.
Elvis had a great voice..Mj sounded like a girl..his voice never matured!
EP sang more gospel than MJ.
Elvis is the King.

Elvis sang a greater variety of styles and was successful in any genre he tried. He sang blues, gospel, R&R, R&B, country, pop, opera-style ballads, etc. Also, Elvis ALWAYS sang live and never lip-synched during his live performances.
Low and ****, not high-ish like a female.
low and masculine

Elvis tenia Voz Única y maravillosa ¡El Rey por siempre.!
Elvis con una guitarra en mano, un micro que ni siquiera era el mejor pero de la garganta de elvis brotaba musica le basto su talento cantaba con aire rebelde y desemfadado y triunfo en una epoca dificil donde la tecnologia no era de la de Mike asi y todo conquisto al mundo y partio el siglo XX ... los cantantes de hoy tienen miedo de cantar directo porque no les sale igual al disco, igual a Mike miedo a mostrarse reales y como en si son,artitas como Elvis ya no exsten ahora la tecnologia que Mike utilizo a suplantado al talento.
Elvis no tienen rival!
FELICIDADES ELVIS ES DEFINITIVAMENTE EL REY!!
Esta encuesta ya la ganamos por la calidad de comentarios porque tenemos mas argumentos y porque Elvis es el mejor Bravo!!
King Of Music fOREVER!! EL VERDADERO
Elvis la voz
MJ tenía un innegable talento para el baile y tenía una gran voz cuando era niño , después de allí su voz cambio y era más grave y quizá para no decepcionar a su público imposto una voz delegada porque francamente no se le escucha natural su voz como que fingía tonos más agudos, les pasa a todos los niños que empiezan cantar de chicos sino saben cuidar su voz radicalmente les cambia la pierden, yo creo que mj debió cantar con su voz natural ..en los conciertos en vivo se ve que su voz se desgasta fácilmente y no puede cantar más de 2 canciones seguidas, de allí vino su uso frecuente del” Play Back” porque él quería salir siempre perfecto.
Pero definitivamente para ser considerado la mejor voz un buen cantante tiene que cantar en directo es la esencia del artista allí es donde debe demostrar la calidad y potencia de su voz .
Solo hay un Elvis y.... nádie, por mucha afición que le ponga, podrá ser como él, ya que no solo es su música o su voz , que es lo que se ´´juzga´´ aquí, es su calidad humana, su carisma, su cariño, respeto y lo cerca que estaba de sus fans, se dejaba acariciar, besar, abrazar sin miedo y..... eso no se puede adquirir, se tiene que nacer para que sea auténtico.
Elvis el mejor el rey
elvis no necesitaba tanta parafernaria escenografica ni coreografias complicadas para conquistar al publico, solo el con un microfono y su gran calidad y creatividad artistica podia poner al mundo a sus pies.
el mejor , el rey de la musica elvis presley
Elvis siempre en nuestros corazones
La mejor voz de la música. No hay comparación posible.
JUST THE BEST EVER
THERE´S ONLY ONE KING AND ONE SPECIAL COMPLETE PERFORMER !! ELVIS FOREVER AND EVER !
Elvis es el mejor!!!
elvis es el mejor y mas impresionante artista
No hay comparación posible, en cuanto a voz Elvis es mucho más potente que MJ
La mejor voz¡¡¡¡
sin duda la mejor voz y encima sin hormonas para retocarlo como hizo michael
Nunca podra llegar a la altura de Elvis aunque lo intentara
único, incomparable
EL MEJOR , EL MEJOR
Hace falta decir por qué?? escucha a Elvis...sobran las palabras...
ELVIS FOREVER AND EVER AN EVER..........MY HEROE !!!!!!!
the king of the music....:D
Su voz transmite un torrente de sensaciones que te permiten disfrutar toda una vida y más de su música...no me pasa ni con Jacko ni con nadie. Viva El Rey...el único...eso del Rey del pop se lo han sacado no sé de dónde...a Elvis se le conooe por el rey...a secas, desde 1956...parece que ahora tenemos que especificar...el rey es el rey...y punto...no hay más.
Elvis could & did sing anything - Wacko could only sing in a high pitch girly voice
es cuestion de opiniones pero elvis es increible cantando y eso que vivio una epoca que precisamente la tecnologia no era lo mismo que ahora ya me gustaria escuchar a elvis en el madison actualmente , no tiene color.
Qué asunto más tonto, comparar la voz de Jacko con la de Elvis. A todas luces se puede apreciar la superioridad de Elvis, sin fanatismos, es algo objetivo. No dudo del magnetismo de Jacko en sus coreografías, pero lo de Elvis es algo mayor, era su voz tan versátil de barítono en ocasiones, aguda o grave según lo solicitase la canción, y con qué dominio, podía cantar de la manera que le viniera en gana, y el resultado siempre era perfecto. No es necesario ser crítico, sólo tener oído, para darnos cuenta de lo que este hombre era capaz de hacer con su voz: TODO. Ya no voy a habalr de la escuela que ha creado, de las legiones de personas que lo han seguido desde hace ni se sabe cuánto, para que luego haya quien hable de originalidad de Jacko...cuando MJ empezó ya todo estaba creado, y Elvis tampoco le fue indiferente....
Viva el rey!!
Que Michael Jackson es más original que Elvis!!!! es una broma,no? Para empezar una de las posturitas que hace Jacko en sus bailes está copiada de la coreografía del rock de la cárcel, si me apuras te digo que hasta los calcetines blancos que llevaba son copiados.Elvis será recordado toda la voda, no sólo por su excelente voz, si no por su carisma y originalidad,Pero de qué hablas, tío!! Si Jacko es protagonista no es precisamente por su voz, demasiado afeminada y frágil. Es más un bailarín que otra cosa. Sin embargo la voz deElvis es poderosa, te cantaba todo y de unamanera que es imposible escucharlo en cualquiera de sus géneros y no rendirte a la evidencia...
Para hablar bien de Jacko, te metes en la otra columnita de al lado, o te hacen falta gafas?
"Elvis sang ALL kinds of music. The King of Pedos could only sing pop.
Elvis wins. Again."
He leído esto un poco más arriba y además de que pienso lo mismo es que me parto...muy buena!!!
kings of kings king of music ELVIS
El unico el rey
Elvis tenía la mejor voz. Sin duda.
ELVIS UN ANTES Y UN DESPUES PARA LA MUSICA
HE'S THE BEST
NOTHING COMPARES TO ELVIS. ELVIS IS MY HEROE !!
if you like elvis no explanition needed if you dont no explanition will do
King!!!
Sin ninguna duda Elvis es y sera uno de los mejores artistas del mundo
su voz,sus movimientos,sus trucos para meterse en el bolsillo al publico y su gran generosidada,demostrada en muchas ocasiones.Un artista que cuando cantaba lo sentia,el mejor artista del mundo.
Señoras y Señores:Elvis Presley. THE KING OF FOREVER.
He was the most versatile and popular singer ever
it's one the one for ever
jajajaja no me jodas... no hay color...
La voz de Michael Jackson no tiene nada que hacer comparada con la de Elvis...lo siento, pero es la verdad.
ELVIS EL MAS GRANDE !
..because Elvis was a bigger impact! with his huge charisma, vision and talent, Elvis changed the music forever, like asteroid that caused the extinction of dinosaurs! he really could change his voice from song to song! Elvis never stopped singing, he didn't need a concert outside America to be what is today! To understand the phenomenom, 1 in 3 people on the planet watched Aloha from Hawaii in 1973. Nobody had ever this audience, even if after the technology has improved! i really like Michael but he is JUPITER and Elvis is THE SUN!!
elvis singing many different styles of music and made them all perfectly well
Jacko tenía esa voz porque tomo un medicamento para curarse el acné que influyó en sus cuerdas vocales.
Elvis ya nació siendo el REY y después de 34 años de su desaparición nadie ha conseguido ocupar su lugar. Hasta para medir la importancia de Jacko hay que compararlo con Elvis.
Elvis forever.
El mejor artista del siglo xx
el mejor , el mejor ,el mejor .Decir a los fans de Michael Jackson que Michael admiraba mucho a Elvis le consideraba el mejor .
No comparison.
MJ had a four-octave voice? Please. Even on his official site, it's listed as 3.6.
And alleged range has nothing to do with being better.
Elvis sang ALL kinds of music. The King of Pedos could only sing pop.
Elvis wins. Again.
He could sing anything with or without a microphone. He was the king
There wasn't, isn't and won't be anybody like Elvis. He is the King.
Nothing to explain, ELVIS sounds like nobody ! You only read what John Lennon said about ELVIS, BEFORE ELVIS THERE WAS NOTHING and Bruce Springsteen.....ELVIS IS MY RELIGION.
ELVIS lives forever
Els is best of the best !!
elvis forever the best!!
Elvis Presley era un cantante extraordinario sabia trasmitir a traves de su voz multiples emociones !!
elvis era un cantante fuera de serie su voz era natural la de Michael a pesar de tener buena voz suena finjida con uan voz demasiado femenina para un cantante hombre, su voz no me transmite nada!!
because Elvis is the greatest his voice is so beautiful powerful in short he is the King of music
elvis was bass bariton and tenor singer and his vocal range was over 3 octaves you can hear him singing to prove it in state i ve never heared michael singing bass for example
Elvis is the greatest singer in rock, country, gospel.No doubt Elvis had the most incredible voice of all time!
elvis has the best voice in the whole world he is the king of rock n roll thts why he was called tht the guy i sjust amazing
his songs are timeless and he just had a way better voice.
The quality of Elvis voice is most often described as soulful. It had an 'aching sincerity and an indefinable quality of yearning virtually impossible to pigeon hole'. His three-octave vocal range was exceptional, 'very narrowly all at once a tenor, baritone, and bass'. A 1987 article in the Village Voice included an assessment of his voice in classical terms, categorizing it as a 'lyric baritone but with unexpectedly rich low notes and astounding high notes'. Elvis emoted and projected better than virtually any other singer. Rollingstone Magazine rated Elvis at #3 of all time best singers of the 20th century. He could sing in any genre and contemporaries and non-contemporaries alike, as well as vocal teachers (university level) have commented on his wonderful gift.
Nearly 3 octave range, very versatile vocal color, could sing many styles, was a great stylist.
Elvis tenía además voz de barítono y la versatilidad para poder cantar cualquier estilo. ERa un crack!!
Elvis tiene la voz más impresionante y atractiva que jamás haya escuchado, capaz de dejarte sin palabras, sobrecogida. La voz de Jackson es bonita, pero no se puede comparar a la fuerza. Que tenga 4 octavas no la hace más atractiva, es lo que transmite. La voz de Elvis es insuperable. Viva el rey!!
ELVIS.. OBVIOUS
porque elvis por lo menos tenia voz de hombre, jackson a pesar de ser del mismo genero parecia mujer..
ELVIS HAVE BRILLIANT VOICE!!! HE IS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!
Elvis was the best voice of the world.
He is the King
the king of the music...elvis !!!!!

Elvis had a huge vocal range and could sing many types of music .....Rockabilly,Rock n Roll,Blues,country,gospel,rock,disco and even a touch of opera! He put so much emotion into his songs.No-one comes near!
he had a beautiful baritone voice.
Elvis is the King!
"...Elvis was a (Gospel) singer par excellence. On "Milky White Way", (1960), he' got the strength
of a bassman and the sweetness of a tenor. The heritage we have in Elvis' gospel music is a gift
to the world".- Paul Poulton, in "Cross Rhythms Magazine"
"...I suppose you'd had to call him a lyric baritone, although with exceptional high notes and
unexpectedly rich low ones. But what is more important about Elvis Presley is not his vocal
range, nor how high, or low it extends, but where its center of gravity is. By that measure, Elvis
was all at once a tenor, a baritone and a bass, the most unusual voice I've ever heard".- Gregory
Sandows, Music Professor at Columbia University, published in "The Village Voice".
"Same voice in and out." Obviously someone who doesn't have an ear or even heard Elvis sing. What an ignorant statement!
"...Elvis Presley has been described variously as a baritone and a tenor. An extraordinary
compass, and a very wide range of vocal color have something to do with this divergence of
opinion. The voice covers two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B,
with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Presley's best octave is in the middle, D-
flat to D-flat. Call him a high baritone. In "It's'now or never", (1960), he ends it in a full voice
cadence (A, G, F), that has nothing to do with the vocal devices of Rhythm and Blues and
Country. That A-note is hit right on the nose, and it is rendered less astonishing only by the
number of tracks where he lands easy and accurate B-flats. Moreover, he has not been confined
to one type of vocal production. In ballads and country songs he belts out full-voiced high G's
and A's that an opera baritone might envy. He is a naturally assimilative stylist with a multiplicity
of voices - in fact, Elvis' voice is an extraordinary voice, or many voices.-". - Henry Pleasants, in
his book "The Great American Popular Singers".
Elvis could sing anything and sing it great - the facts are the facts
Please - no comparison - Gospel - Rock - Blues - Ballads - Country.
Hands down Elvis - even academics agree!
He will endure. He could sing different type of music - rock and roll, gospel, country, African-American. He also showed more emotion with his singing. For example, The song, All I can dream shows this emotion. He is still a legend years later. I wonder if in 50 years, if Michael Jackson will be remembered.
m.j is a kiddie fiddler like garry glitter
elvis presley nobody could beat him at singing rest in peace elvis u will always be the best
he could sing without a microphone.
His voice is better
his voice is powerful and soulful! he is versatile!

Elvis could sing gospel,blues ,rock,soul pop,ballads and even opera.
i like elvis presley because he's kind and generous and can sing and dance at the same time. he's a sweet heart.
