Elvis was incredibly controversial and did new things with music. Bieber's only controversy is how sleazy he is.
The Beatles started off as a cheesy boy band, but eventually went on to make truly inspired beautiful music. One Direction miiiight do that, but they don't write their own songs, so it'd be pretty amazing.

And what is that?
I don't see much similarity. and I actually think Bieber is talented (well, as a singer), he just makes really terrible lyrics and has a really silly image marketed at teen girls with low self-esteem. |

He did it by being new and exciting. Elvis probably terrified the kids parents and made them worry about the world's future.
Bieber targets them by being super safe, and not doing anything that could ever be controversial. |

Elvis was a genius, controversial, and left his permanent mark as the most famous Rock act of all time. Bieber is none of this.
The Beatles are overrated, I'll admit that, but still geniuses, who are always going to be one of the biggest bands ever. One Direction won't. |

Bieber is a famous Pop artist who left a permanent mark, dont be one of those d0chs who compare rock to pop and calls it 'better'
Beatles arnt "geniuses" but no defence for One Direction |

Main difference between Elvis & Justin:
Elvis was something different, Justin is a younger, more undeveloped Jessie McCartney.

Do you see a mathematical difference here?
Albums Sold:
Elvis- 2,500,000,000 (2.5 Billion) JB- 45,000,000 (45 million).
For a start 45 million is no where near 2.5 billion, not even 100 million! So basically JB is not even the slightest bit like Elvis. Also Elvis has talent. |

| Lila has a point.. this is new. The only way to listen to music back then was to buy the album which means they don't sell singles seperately. JB FTW big upz |

@Gary, actually One Direction wrote most of their songs but some were written by Ed Sheeran.
I like the way you're going though. Justin Bieber's image is pretty much marketed to girls with a low self-esteem, but he is a very good singer and person. |
