should have made this thread when she actually broke the record, but better late than never.
i love elvis, i mean, i 'm as big a fan as anyone on here. especially his later work when he was singing those incredible ballads. i actually prefer that to his more "revolutionary" work. saying that, i feel mariah carey is better than him. i know u will rig the competition based on ya re constructed criteria, but come on, she has broken his no. 1's and influenced balladeers across the globe. u may not like her style, but spotty, pretentious and self obsessed music nerds who cant pull only make up about 0.0000000000000000000000000000001% of the planets populataion, so you dont matter. the real music public has spoken.
its like how people pretend michale jackson isnt the greatest artist ever in spite of no one coming close to his sales. in the uk this is what we call "taking ya ball home". sales mattered when thebeatles and pink floyd and led zepllin did it, but MJ sonns dem and sale no longer matter? righttttttttttt.
