It's common sense that he is the best singer Ever, Voted at #1 in "Q magazine greatest singers" poll, and called best singer by other great singers like Ian Gillan(deep purple), Dame Kiri and more.
As an entertainer (i.e. onstage, on TV, live in concert, etc.) the answer is YES.
As a singer (who never allowed his music to be enhanced and whose singing, even while moving around onstage for hours, etc.) the answer is YES.
As a man he had his faults, he was human, but when his life is put in context there is no doubt that inasmuch as a person can be....he was great.
No, Elvis was not better than The Beatles. The Beatles beat him by a long shot.
the guy above me is right beatles are great
I would say that the Beatles are better. They are definately the best band ever. Elvis and Beatles come close though. Best Artists Ever:
2. Beatles
4. Led Zeppelin
5. Bob Dylan
6. Queen
Elvis personally walked up to Little Richard and said, "You're the greatest ever."
Regardless, there is no rating system in place for judging a singer's greatness. But, in terms of vocal range and stage presence, Frank Sinatra, Arethra Franklin, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler, and Micheal Jackson could all potentially be considered the greatest.
As an entertainer Elvis Presley stands alone in his success from his musical recordings, TV appearances, live Concerts, movie career, etc.
However, Elvis always responded to comments about him being "great was" thank you, please pursue your own dreams and develop your own style, and (in response to fans saying he was the "King") Elvis replied "there is only one King and that was Jesus Christ".
Yes. There has never been a singer in the history of human kind that has been recorded that matches Elvis' combination of range, sustain, vibrato, volume control, emotion, etc. Ever. The answer is yes.
This is a matter for individuals to make. My Mum and my Nan would answer "Yes". I on the other hand would disagree. It is also questionable what you mean by "the best"; do you mean the most successful or the generally better than all other 'rock artists'. It would also be wise to point out Elvis sung rock n roll, slightly different to your average 'Rock Music'.
For some people Elvis may be the best. It all depends on your likes and dislikes. For me, yes Elvis is the best.
Elvis Presley recorded more than 665 songs and The Beatles have recorded over a little over 214 songs so the king has recorded more than the beatles
The Beatles (2.3 Billion)Elvis (600 million)
They have some good stuff too, but are obviously not better than The Beatles.
Elvis did.
I believe Elvis and The Beatles were both pretty even in the amount of fans they had. But The Beatles had four members of the band rather than Elvis, therefore attracting more people of the time since everyone had their "favorite of The Fab Four". Since Elvis and the Beatles were both the beginning of real music, I think it's fair to say history can't record which bands were more popular.
The Beatles were more popular, as they have sold more albums than Elvis.
The Beatles. Elvis has 17 number ones and the Beatles have 25, more than any other band
Because they were cooler.
This is an opinionated question due to the fact that I believe Elvis is more famous than the Beatles and others believe the exact opposite.
Elvis Presley recorded more than 665 songs and The Beatles have recorded over a little over 214 songs so the king has recorded more than the beatles
