Who is older Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley?

Michael Jackson was actually catapulted to his highest and worldwide, back in the first half of the 80's until the end of time

Michael Jackson simply had a *mass/*magical appeal - he didn't just sing - he also danced and put on spectacular shows - being in charge, right down to stage-set design/lighting and costume designs - he was an *ultimate, exiting and electrifying entertainer who always stirred pure hysteria amongst the crowds - male and female... It is just the *way* Michael Jackson did it while on stage ...he just mesmorised people of *all* ages.

This has to be the biggest reason as to why he appealed to ALL ages, religions, skin-tones, cultures, and backgrounds ... that, as far as I can see, is how he, "was able to popularize himself globally." ...and this is also taking into account, the remotest parts of the world where even the old technology of TV, radio, is still not available/used ...yet somehow, someway, they ALL know of the name, Michael Jackson.

No-One has been or will ever be as famous as Michael Jackson. There aren't enough words to explain what Jackson hysteria is.
both are very famous and i think they are the two most famous people ever i would say on a extremly close call Michael Jackson
Elvis Presley.

How did Elvis feel when he performed his live show?

I had the privilege of seeing him perform when he was a young rock and roller, in the mid-1950s. He was dynamic and exciting to watch, plus for a teen female fan like me, he was really cute. It was the early days of rock, and Elvis was the first really big rock star-- young people adored him, while parents thought he was going to ruin society (the way he moved his body to the music while he was singing was very sexual, and many adults considered it immoral). As the years passed, he aged and he gained weight, plus he was taking various kinds of drugs. Later in his career, he transformed himself into sort of a glitzy Las Vegas style entertainer, which was a very different presentation from the youthful rock star he was in his youth. But even in his later years, when he was overweight and somewhat slower on stage, he enjoyed touring, he still put on a dynamic performance, and fans still loved his music.

Who came first Elvis or The Beatles?

The Beatles

_________

I'd tend to agree the Beatles, because their impact was wider (and slightly earlier) and because they popularised the new production techniques of the later 1960s. The early Stones however had arguably a greater impact on "alternative" rock through their influence on the emerging US garage scene which in turn fed into 1970s punk and some of its offspring, feeding into later stripped-down underground "edgy", "angular" sounds and the rebel attitudes that often accompany them.
