With the advent of the music video, he also harnessed that to boost the appeal of his records. Presley couldn't have done that in his era anyway because it simply wasn't a thing back then.

I would point you in the direction of the 30 plus films Elvis made.

Plus The Satellite Hawaii concert in 73 reached an Audience of a billion worldwide. 98% of the viewing audience of Japan watched it.

Gutted but can't complain. The Jacko voters put up a good fight. I enjoyed that. One thing is for certain, Elvis wont win this tournament.

Rigging is irrelevant for the eventual winner.

[Strontium]

The only positive thing I can say for this is that it saves me the dilemma of whether to vote for MJ or Prince had they faced each other.

Too right. We will see how good 'the King' is when I put him up against the actual King

Good win for the King. Surprised it was close. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Honestly. I hate all of you. Even those who voted for Jacko. Vote harder, bitches. 
 

Eminem and Jacko out in the first round. Looking forward to seeing Aretha go out to Enya because the GF like listening to Sail Away when driving up the East Lancs.

Any female list not including Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Big Mama Thornton and Bessie Smith is just wrong. 

 

Oh add Dolly Parton and Loretta Lyn to that list

[TheHowieLama]

Probably some serious competition from younger artists than we have seen in the band/male kerfuffles.

 

Think Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Gwen Stefani should get in.

Nah, no list of ten is wrong, as it’s a list of people’s favourite artists. I very nearly included Ella Fitzgerald, but with the exception of the odd Dolly Parton song, I don’t listen to the others you mentioned.

I'm just following the forum. 

I'm right and I'll kick up a stink if you don't agree

[Bjornebye]

Any list without Lisa Stansfield is a cunts list.

[Mook]

I used to have a mad crush on Lisa Stansfield. She wouldn't get anywhere my top 10 female solo artists though.

 

Aretha Franklin

Joni Mitchell

Diana Ross

Mavis Staples

Gladys Knight

Mary Wells

Betty Davis

Beyonce

Alicia Keys

Merry Clayton

 

Might change when the voting starts.
