    The greatest performer of all time, the charisma king..

    Who in your opinion?

    For me: Elvis.

    Doesn't have to be musically related

    Have to agree with freddie mercury he was amazing, was watching him on sky tv their concert in budapest. he had great charisma and even when he was dying with aids he continued to make songs and struggled to record his last song these are the days of our lives while very very sick. A truly fantastic performer!

    Based on this performance alone, it has to be Linda Martin:



    Just the music you need to finish your Friday night!

    Has to be Freddie Mercury. He was, is and probably will always be the greatest showman ever.

    I'm sure if Bono was gay and died of AIDS too everyone would be clamouring to put his name forward on this thread.

    He's so odious and pretentious that he'd claim he was a martyr for the poor.
