Elvis to Kanye: It's Fine to Be Me

Elvis Presley would not have fired his gun at the TV set when Kanye West said last night he wanted to be next in line for King -- the TV bull's eye was reserved for another singer.
Kanye West: Click to watch
Linda Thompson, Elvis' girlfriend, told us E.P. would have been "flattered" someone wanted to be him 31 years after his death.

Thompson says Elvis "saved those bullets for Robert Goulet." Elvis once shot out a TV set as he watched Goulet sing while lying in bed.

Yes, number 9/brian, that's what I'm saying; do your research on the history of Elvis' music.
"Your Braindead." [sic] lol, thanks for making yourself look like an even bigger idiot, and twice within a simple phrase.

22. I was probably one of those people who could still tolerate this moron... but when i heard him speak yesterday i wanted to punch him so bad in those ugly mouth of his. With that kind of attitude YOU will lose everything. I truly hate this guy now... and will never ever listen to his music again. How disrespectful can you be? YOU will never be Elvis you arrogant ugly piece of $hit. In order to get respect you have to give respect back, and you my friend are nothing but the jealous no talent whinny cry baby. What kind of man are you? You are a Pu$$y :-) you sound more and more like some drama queen. What an ugly human being...

25. Kanye has to understand , if you say you want to be the next King then you will never be the next King. Elvis did not have to go out and say I am the King, he just put off that vibe and presence, he also was pretty humble. I don't think Kanye comes off with any of thoe qualities and he sure is not a humble man. Elvis also branched out into every style of music, Kanye could NVER pull this off, Elvis also was in movies though cheesey they still attracted his fans. I think Kanye would fall more in line with Britney or Mariah in this area. Face it Kanye if you have to tell people then it ain't happening period. In 20 years it will be do you remember Kanye West and people will say I really don't, is that a trivia question?

26. Elvis would have applauded Kanye West's ambition to be him. However, the comments made by the compare Jimmy Kimmel about Elvis dying on the toilet eating a jelly donut were totally out of order and very unprofessional. Such people think they can get away with anything on TV these days. he should be censured.

27. Elvis and Kanye don't belong in the same sentence together. Kanye, DMX, and the guy that raped the lil kids (can't rember his name) they belong in the same sentence together. Kanye has serious mental health problems if he thinks he has even remotely the talent in Elvis's little pinky

28. Kanye you should stick to making music and not running your fat mouth, I respected you more when you had your mouth wired shut, that is when you were the best but all you do now is run the chops get over yourself and stick to making good music

29. Kanye is a rediculous racist moron! He has more ego than sense. More arogance than money, and more issues than kleenex has tissues!! His hatred of whites consumes him, and everytime he opens his mouth he spews trash! Especially when he records a song. He's worthless, pointless, and mindless.

He only stirs up controversy when he is about to release another collection of mind-clutter called "an album"!! He is no different than the likes of Madonna on that notion! This guy lost me at "President Bush hates black people"... that was completely swept under the rug,.. wait til someone white screams President Obama hates white people.. then watch Kanye emerge with Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton on the capital waving posters about racism.

Why is it when anyone belly aches about "racism" it is assumed it is white against black? Racism is a two way street ya know? I know I'll get called a racist, because that's the easiest dismissal of my "opinion" on Kanye West. And it's been the best crutch to beat white people with for centuries now! I love Toni Braxton, Alicia Keyes is cool, ...if I like you I simply like you- doesn't matter if you gay, black, asian, or latino.. If I don't like someone I simply do not.. And I DO NOT like Kanye- as if that wasn't clear enough. lol.
