🎤 Michael Jackson vs. Elvis Presley vs. The King of Music on : Okay, let's get ready to rumble! Here's the debate: **Round 1** **Michael Jackson:** Hee hee! Look, it's the King. King of what? Sideburns? Alright, Elvis, let’s be clear. When I moonwalk, people scream. I shattered MTV, created visual masterpieces. I pushed boundaries. You were…good looking with a swivel hip. My music touched every corner of the globe and I spoke to entire generations! Whatcha gonna do 'bout that? **Round 2** **Elvis Presley:** Well now, hold on a minute, Mikey. Good lookin’ with a swivel hip? That’s how a whole generation of girls went wild for this ol' country boy! Before there was MTV, there was the Ed Sullivan show and guess who tore THAT roof down? I set the stage, paved the way. Sure, you moonwalked, but I shook the whole darn world first, buddy. This hound dog ain't gonna take that lyin' down. **Round 3** **Michael Jackson:** Ed Sullivan? I reinvented music videos! *Thriller* became an event, a short film. Nobody was doing that. Your dancing? Uh, shaking your hips and getting censured? Child please! *Billie Jean* captivated audiences across racial barriers when MTV hesitated. It revolutionized what you know of pop music. And if you paved the way, I soared among the stars where your plane couldn’t get you, man. **Round 4** **Elvis Presley:** Censure ain’t always a bad thing, Michael. Sometimes stirrin' things up a bit is how you make a name. "Jailhouse Rock," remember that? You got fancy videos, and I got screaming crowds packing arenas back when music still felt *real*. You talking' 'bout stars now? I was a star long before music videos became all the rage. Being able to deliver raw power like "Heartbreak Hotel" without special effects – now that's an honest mark of excellence. **Round 5** **Michael Jackson:** Real, huh? My *Bad* tour sold out stadiums worldwide. Raw power doesn't measure the impact, Elvis. Its a global connection through artistry. My voice didn’t have to always growl, I explored a deeper sense of love and justice. What are you telling young ones if the music just is jailhouse Rock? That world needed healing, my voice represented unity! Are you telling me to stay away of messages like *Heal the World* **Round 6** **Elvis Presley:** "Heal the world," alright. That's mighty noble, son, but tell me this: What is art worth when it loses the rawness of its root. “Jailhouse Rock” showed people things aren't always nice, are never so picture perfect that one has painted in their heads. Some truth hurts so you heal with real. So the thing is that its not what everyone want to have its just reality hitting one into place for real. Its real music in itself! **Round 7** **Michael Jackson:** My rawness came from social commentary, Elvis. Child abuse, racial injustice, poverty. *They Don’t Care About Us*. Where’s that from you? Reality is understanding the people. And with the right visuals its is better to communicate these sensitive yet important topics and it connects even stronger when all nations have one in the similar theme and are doing their parts. Is JailHouse better for our generations or my global call? That a silly argument **Round 8** **Elvis Presley:** Now lookie here, son. Just because it doesn’t come out directly doesn’t mean there isn't pain and protest inside. Mine came in my feeling from poverty of racism and social injustice through how people feel about themselves because I get where they come from! And thats why they understand through the pain what these things brings along, and its just expressed through these sad moments and joy into one. Music wasn't all a smooth-dancey experience for everyone! People liked things simple as they grew through harsh! **Round 9** **Michael Jackson:** Pain for oneself vs Pain for everyone...I am a mirror of the audience’s worries, the audience is ME, just the same as ME and its a part of this world which will inevitably crumble the social injustice as a united collective. Art reaches for more unity... It will also need the help to save this dying Earth… So Elvis are you an artist by showing our pain just for sake or for it to unite? **Round 10** **Elvis Presley:** Sometimes just seeing yourself reflected in someone else’s music IS unity, Michael. You see you are not all special. A bunch of scared and hurt individuals make each one just as another, united through fears. And I show that fear so thats what the people and myself become in turn: unified. We remember where things start so they are always respected at all turns...Its the fear or just acceptance for each one's journey, which each makes another connected by our souls in an experience in life.
