Best Answer

Michael just wasn't impressed by him. He did not grow up listening to, watching and studying Elvis like he did with the other artists who influenced him.

Who had a greater impact in music Elvis or Michael Jackson?

Answer: I believe Elvis was more of an impact on music because he was the first rock star. "THE KING". I think if there was a vote on who was better Elvis would win becasue he has been around alot longer.But Elvis's music wasnt as good as MJs, so i go for MJ. Answer: That's a difficult question. I would go for Micheal Jackson but its debatable. Answer: It's a question that's bound to attract fans clamouring for one or the other. I'll stay as neutral as possible and say that in terms of impact I think Elvis had the edge, since in his time, the music scene was very narrow, and what Elvis did was to open up that scene--that's a massive impact. On the other hand, Elvis' only talent was his voice (and hips)--he wrote none of his own songs, and compared to Michael Jackson (musical talent-wise) he was a dwarf. And before anybody mentions anything about weirdness, Elvis was not far behind MJ in the cuckoo stakes. Therefore i believe that Michael Jackson had a greater impact.
