I wonder sometimes why a lot of people I know don't really care for Elvis's music...maybe because they consider it too old. There are three main reasons I don't like Elvis: 1) I feel like other people did Rock & Roll better. It's just that they were black and Elvis wasn't, which was no fault of his (he actually a big defender of human rights and equality). 2) I don't feel he emoted in his voice, and that's a major factor for me to get behind a singer. I'd rather listen to someone who sounds like crap but has emotion than a virtuoso that hits all the notes smoothly (the same reason I prefer Sammy to Frank). 3) I'm more into song writing than performing, and Elvis never wrote a song in his life. One part of this post I fully agree with. From 1974 on, he never used his voice to full potential at all. Some times he came close, but he never matched the pure emotion he hit at 1968/1969.

Bonnie McKee has been in Banter as long as Elvis, I think. Longer than Elvis, actually. I don't remember Bonnie being posted before Elvis. I feel like his hyping Bonnie came later. Just my memory.

Taylor Swift writes her own music and performs it without enhancements like autotune. I may not be a fan, but I respect her. having said that.... I think her live vocals have been getting less impressive...and can't help but think her songwriting has taken steps backward (intentionally to be more geared toward tweens) - certain songs just repeat the same lyrics on the chorus & to me...she was better than that I wonder how much of that is her and how much of it is her record label. Or how much of it is her just kind of giving up because she's tired of her record label. I don't follow her career, so I honestly have no clue what you're even talking about.

History lesson by Colter of Personality: First mention of McKnee - February 2014 First mention of Presley So, what do you say, is it a VH1 Storytellers kind of night? Sure. Today was productive. I did nothing but watch Elvis: That's the Way It Is (great movie, btw) and the '68 Comeback. Today was a good day. April 2014. FACTS, SON.

I don't think there's been a performer in the history of music that's surpased Elvis when it comes to live performances. The dude was the definition of stage presence.

I feel like your hyping of Elvis was before Bonnie got the insane mega hype.

Let's face it, an Elvis concert in 1973 was less about music and more about the legend. Dude could fart into a microphone and get a standing ovation

Or how much of it is her just kind of giving up because she's tired of her record label. I don't follow her career, so I honestly have no clue what you're even talking about. her first album was stereotypical country...like, to the roots of it but brilliant songwriting techniques Cold As You - wrote the verses without a rhyming pattern & it worked 1,000 times better than anything would have if it was basic rhyme this at the end of the line Teardrops - does the switcheroo at the end of the song where you take a line/lyric you've heard the entire song on the chorus & switch it out with another lyric that works even better, after the return from the bridge (last part of the chorus) follow up albums have had really well written songs... White Horse, Dear John..etc. etc. she is a great song writer Current Album as an example for 'deterioration of song writing' Out Of The Woods - the entire chorus is that, said over & over basically...with one other line - it's not like she's the only musician to do it...but it's lazy (IMO) to repeat the same thing over & over & over & over...and that be your chorus, when she's capable of more Her voice (IMO) is a recording voice & not exactly something you'd be amazed by live...plus I've believed that she's been using too much backing track to cover her vocals on the "pop" stuff but even on the country stuff...the live voice doesn't do it for me, maybe in person, but not in a live stadium setting or on tv - it's average unless recorded & even then, elevated because of her song writing
