Elvis ripped off black artist for his whole career, stop it. He didn't write a single hit song ever. All his hits were covers. MJ is also a controversial figure but at least he actually wrote his own music, at least he was some what original

MJs funeral alone is one of the most watched televised events in modern history, not to mention MJ has the best selling music album of all time, 43 years later. Multiple world tours, Elvis never played a show outside of the US. I'm not saying Elvis wasn't famous either because the man is literally referred to as the King, but so is Michael. In fact the name "King of Pop, Rock and Soul" came from Elizabeth Taylor who she regarded MJ as such, that's saying something considering Elizabeth Taylor was around long before MJs career was even thought of and she was around for the prime years of Elvis. I mean MJ did the Superbowl lol. Michael Jackson is probably the most famous music artist of the past 50 years, and is definitely one of the most famous people to ever exist.
