Just saw this on the book. If you could buy tickets to see only ONE of these performers (price doesn't matter), which would it be?

Mine is a toss up between Michael Jackson and Tupac.

It depends.

Are we talking when they died? Or the prime of their careers?

I would have loved to see MJ in his prime, but I watched his movie after his death. He could still sing, but I don't think the performance would have been that great.

I would go with Tupac or Whitney.

There are people out there that believe she was unbelievably talented. Me? Not so much.

If you had to choose between any one of these singers and Nickelback, which would you choose?

Hendrix in a small venue in which you could be close enough to see him work. In an arena/stadium setting, Freddie Mercury, who is the greatest on-stage front man ever.

Otherwise, Michael Jackson.

1. Cash
2. Elvis
3. Mercury

15 years ago I would have said Tupac, but I wouldn't be caught dead at a Tupac concert today. I only secretly listen to him in my car with the windows up.

For the record, snot had a dog named Tupac, and he also cried with the rapper died. We had a JV football game at Triad the day he was shot and killed.

Elvis, Johnny Cash and the Beatles would be cool for sure, partly because they were before my time.
