Oh, you have got to be kidding me. I see where people are saying that MJ promoted himself as the King of Pop, but have not provided any proof that he said this. Just because the people at the news conference introduced him as the King of Pop doesn’t mean that he told them to say it. And still, he did not say it. Also, Elizabeth Taylor loudly proclaimed that MJ was the King of Pop, Rock, and Soul at the Soul train music awards in 1989 or 90.

I saw the press conference too. They did indeed introduce him as King of Pop, and I thought to myself what an ego Michael Jackson must have. Either that or he is terribly insecure. He was a self promoting artist at the highest level. I guess after 40 years in show business you would learn a few things.

Jackson did dub himself the King of Pop – and he used the title on everything – including his podium for the last press conferenceElvis always told people not to call him the King, Jackson demanded the title from media, and he used it on his promotional materialJackson was not humble – and he was guilty

Michael Jackson proclaimed himself the King of Pop at a news conference through a p.r rep if I remember correctly back in the 90′s. Although deservedly I remember being mildly appalled when seeing that and saying to myself that I couldn’t imagine Elvis Presley doing that.

Whoever said Elizabeth Taylor dubbed MJ the King of Pop at an awards show is correct. Watch it here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s92B VuQbuyg

Based on the evidence in so far, I’d call Michael Jackson the King of Pills and Painkillers. Very much like Elvis Presley..
