Just read an article in 'Daily Mirror'(UK 'newspaper') that questions why Elvis impersonators always dress up as Elvis in his later years (i.e.jumpsuits,bloated,etc).It suggested it was a reflection of ourselves(In particular,we like to see successful people be unhappy).What do you think? Also,anyone here like Elvis?(uhha uhha).Sorry.Personally,some of his tunes kick ass (Hound Dog,J.Rock).and no,i don't dress up. |

We always see einstein as an old guy too. |
||||||||
|

It's because most elvis impersonators are fat old ugly men. No-one who is young and with a great singing voice would want to be an elvis impersonator. |

Yes,good point. |

I was nad have never been a big fan of Elvis....some songs are very toe-tappy but I am not a fan to any degree! |

"The wonder of you" is a great song... dont know if its a original presley song but it is great anyway. |

he has some good songs...some but in general i think he was the britney spears of his time and he didnt change a thing about it and stayed as comercial as possible dont like him much i can listen to a few songs every now and then but not more than 15 mts |

Yeah I got into Elvis in a big way for about a year (over it now). I think another reason people dress up like later day Elvis is because the costumes were so outlandish. The sequened jumpsuits - that's Elvis as Icon. As for his best stuff I love: a. Are You Lonesome Tonight (famous laughing version live) b. Stranger In The Crowd c. Peace In The Valley d. Kentucky Rain Download any of those and you'll understand the power of Elvis. |

i just WON 50 bucks on an ELVIS slot machine in VEGAS!! (tis the best slot machine honestly) it's gonna be 25 yrs since his death and he's still in the news, that says what kind of influence da man had. i enjoy some of his songs (he's played constantly in Vegas in various casino's) and i feel sorry for his seemingly unhappy life toward the end. seems like he had too many people taking care of him that really didn't CARE about him. it's prolly true in a lot of celebrities cases =0( |

suspicious minds is probably my fav elvis track.I watched frankie & johnny,on tv at work today,which was a big pile of monkey spunk,like most of his films. I seen one of his last concerts recently,I just couldnt believe how much of a hideous fucker he had turned into,quite sad really[but i did laugh as he had an xl coca cola and burger on the piano].I feel sorry for the person who found him on the toilet. |

Interesting what you said about no one caring about him,as i read one of his quotes which went along the lines of: "I had about seven people to get me a Coke,but no friends." I think it is this Saturday that is the 'anniversary'. Also,congrats on you're win! ( I bet you were tying cherry stems with your tongue at the same time,eh?!).lol etc. |

I love Elvis - there is a big competition in Malaysia, I think it's Malaysia, I was half-asleep when the news item was on my tv set - the split was 50/50 as to which Elvis Era was represented. |

in one of the deleted scenes from P U L P F I C T I O N tarantino wrote this cool dialogue between travolta and uma about how there are two kindsa people in the world; 1.BEATLES peeps or 2.elvis people i'm a BEATLES person! |

i haven't heard about that one anyway, i'm listening to ELV1S 30 #1 HITS and i'm liking it so far ! (i'm at hit #19 now...no, wait, they're short tracks, it's #20 now, haha) ....i'm laughing every 2,3 tracks. He's great and funny and lame and shit and classic at the same time. Hail ! |

if Elvis was a herbivore, he'd still be here today. most likely, if no one shot him to get in the papers or whatever of course. |

Elvis and Britney Spears in the same sentence? |

I watched Larry King interview Priscilla in Graceland a while ago. Elvis had a neat house full of cool stuff, and its kind of frozen in time. Including Priscilla, who is now a creepy animated mannequin. |

Elvis' house is awesome. The Jungle room is the best lounge I have been in and I gave serious thought to remodelling my lounge (same shape) in a similar style. |

'Crying in the Chapel' is one of my favourite sings. I know it's a staple blues song better done by the other guys that I can't remember right now. I don't think he was an evil idiot but he was railroaded into doing some crap. |
||||||||

I'm hardly some old lady with velvet Elvis paintings on the wall, but there were Britney's during that time and Elvis wasn't one of them. He could sing (w/ originality), and write great music. Two things you don't see anymore. |

Download 'Crying in the chapel'. It's a cover done heart felt. |

Blues Suede Shoes version by Carl Perkins was better of Elvis version. Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and Jerry Lee Lewis was probably better artists imo |

happy birthday, Elvis. i hope you're having one hell of a party tonight, with Kurt, Mike, Jimmi, Jim, ...and Fox Mulder, lol |

i really don't understand why people think the later stuff is bad, elvis's best stuff came when he was all fat and maudlin and desperate. the wonder of you is fucking amazing |
