Do you like Elvis Presley?

[WhiteSteve]

Chuck D taught me that I should hate Elvis when I was like 10, so I don’t really fuck with him like that😂…

[Camson22]

He wasn't racist his backup singers were black and he preffered to go to the black churches bc he liked the people there better he always had great respect for African americans and he was good friends with martin luther king jr.

[Ghostykill3r]

I like his music, don't like him though. He stole most of his music, and he started dating his wife when he was 24 and she was 14.

[Camson22]

Oh who cares if he stole music, he only stole it bc he new he could sing it better.

[Ghostykill3r]

I care, that's why I shared it as my opinion.

[Camson22]

Well get over it you SOB

[Ghostykill3r]

Should I also get over him dating a 14 year old at 24?

[Camson22]

He was dating her but he never touched her or did anything inappropriate with her and at the time it was legal. He made sure she went to school and finished. Pircilla said that Elvis was more of a father figure to her then a Husband and when they got married she was of age. I agree some things Elvis did were not okay, he could be physically abusive to women but there was so much more to the man then that. We all have our negatives and our positives and Elvis really struggled with guilt, Depression, Drugs and anger. And Elvis didn't do drugs like we think of them it was all doctor perscribed medication but he became addicted and he couldnt stop. His doctors just kept giving it to him. Addiction is really hard to get over especially when at a certain time you had to do it. Elvis would have never started with the pills if he never went to the army.

[Genie23]

I don't know much about him except that he passed away at a young age but I love his music. I still listen to it every now and then.

[Camson22]

Baby's got your granny, everybody said it was a shame because her momma was a workin on a chain gang, a mean viscous straight raisin chain gang!

[Opinion Owner]

Gator's got your granny.

[Camson22]

yeah I got auto corrected or something
lol

[Opinion Owner]

LOL My mom sent me a text asking what I was planning for the day. I did voice dictation, and didn't look before I sent it. I told her I was meeting a girl for lunch.
My stupid phone changed "meeting" to "eating."

[Camson22]

Hahaha, OMG!! Im dead from laughter.

[Opinion Owner]

And I was driving in traffic when this happened. Crap! Proofreading doesn't work if you do it after you hit the send button.

[Camson22]

LMAO

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks for the MHO

[CoolCatMar1]

His music? Not a fan of that genre but i can recognise that he had a very powerful voice and was very talented

[Rockstarrrrr]

I wanna say no.. But I feel like that would destroy your world 😂... It's okay tho... I was a cringe rap fan when I was 13 lol...

[Camson22]

Elvis isn't cringe!! Damn it LOL.

[Rockstarrrrr]

I meant you acting like a Stan lol

[Hallix26]

I'd never say I *hate* the man but like him, not particularly. I do hate the cultish culture that arose around him, just as the fanaticism with Michael Jackson.

[Camson22]

so you dont like singers who have fans bc they impacted the world?

[Hallix26]

I think you know that saying "a singer with fans" is a massive understatement. There were literal religions around people like these. And impacting the world isn't nearly as important as changing it.

[Camson22]

there wasn't religions there were fan clubs not relegions. Elvis was humble and never compared him self to god. one time during a show he was doing someone yelled "Elvis you're the King!" and he said "No Honey the Kings upstairs, im just a singer".

[Hallix26]

I'm not talking about what they themselves did or did not say or do, I was talking about the secterian people around them, and there was indeed religious attitudes at least around Jackson, there's documentaries of it.

[Camson22]

Okay but he couldnt help the fact that people liked him that much. So you dont like people for reasons that are out of their control?

[Hallix26]

I didn't say I disliked him for that reason.

[andreasderjuengere]

He did - and does - not impress me... in such a magnitude that I don't even put effort into not liking him.

[llorando]

No, he's a fraud who passed off other peoples songs as his own.

[Camson22]

He never took credit he just sang them and it made him famous bc he was better at singing the songs then the original singers. I don't know why people talk shit about Elvis when they dont know the actual facts. itd be stealing and fraud if he took credit but he didn't he gave them credit for the songwriting he was just the singer.

[purplepoppy]

Listening to him sing I'd say he was decent but not outstanding. He strikes me as someone who got where he was by knowing how to market himself rather than talent.

[Camson22]

He was outstanding listen to elvis best vocals on youtube and watch a live performance of him dance!

[Ghostykill3r]

The genre of music he played was very new and became very popular, that's one of the big reasons he got so famous.

[Camson22]

@Ghostykill3r Very true
but he was mostly famous for his generousity and for his charisma on stage.

[purplepoppy]

There was an American singer called Elvis Hitler too.

[Camson22]

Yeah they were stupid and still are

[CubaPirate]

The hell yeah 😎

[Camson22]

Elvis Tribute Artist and Singer myself! I love Elvis he is my Hero!

[CubaPirate]

Good for you keep it up

[Camson22]

Thank you!

[panamared1]

i liked his early stuff

[Camson22]

At least you liked him at all! But I dont understand how you dont like the 70's era of his music. I suggest watching Elvis on tour and also That's the way it is.

[panamared1]

i listened to all his stuff, it filled the radio station back then, i just prefer the early Elvis, col parker messed him up

[Camson22]

Now that right there we can agree on

[Blackcupcake]

not sure if I know much of him enough to like him

[Farmerboy2]

Never met the man.

[Camson22]

You don't have to meet him to like who he was or to like his music. There were 2 Elvis'. Elvis the entertainer and there was Elvis the man, I happen to admire both.

[KerriH]

Not really
