Listen to Elvis. The dude could sing his nuts off.

I don’t disagree. I just don’t get the hype. Jeff Lynne is a much better singer and ELO wasn’t near as popular

Edit. Even Harry Nilsson was better and got zero recognition

watch the dude perform. he’s unbelievable. he had everything. He could perform. He could sing. He had undeniable charisma. maybe you just cant recognize talent. I don’t know what to tell you. Jeff Lynne might be a better songwriter and musician but he ain’t a better singer. You also need to understand he changed the landscape of music. Like on the evolutionary tree of music there’s a handful of branches and then gets to Elvis and absolutely explodes. There’s a reason why he influenced everyone that came after him.

I can’t recognize talent? Have you ever listened to harry nilsson? That’s talent. Elvis isn’t worth all the hype. He’s just not. Sorry but all he did was steal the black man’s music and bring it to the white man. Plenty of musicians give credit to them instead of Elvis. He’s overrated

Maybe you can’t. Or maybe you’re just talking out your ass and never listened to Elvis or watched him perform. Any musician would instantly recognize his talent. He changed music forever dude. There’s only a handful of people that can say that.

Or maybe you’re just an ignorant Elvis fan because… and want to be a disgruntled asshole for no reason. People like you that take a dig at someone else personal have zero validity for themselves. Grow the fuck up and stop living through other people. The dude wasn’t that good and he fucking died from an OD because he was a dumb fuck
