According to a top source, Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2020. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Presley for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 52-year-old singer, as a 2020 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Presley so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Memphis Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Memphis (Lisa Marie Presley's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the singer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#PresleyPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveLisa Marie”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 23 Sep 2020
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Lisa Marie Presley?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Sep 2020
Could 2020 officially be the Year of Lisa Marie Presley?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2020 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2020?
