In my opinion contestant three four and five for the top! I worked with Trent carlini who did Elvis impersonation here in Las Vegas.. I also work with Michael Conti who is an Elvis impersonator also does Elvis wedding has been a friend of mine for the past 25 years I worked with him as well. Rick saucedo who has been number one Elvis in the suburban areas of Illinois and I've known him for more than 30 years.
I give them props for daring to impersonate Elvis. Let's face it, Elvis was not only handsome, but he was also beautiful (there's a video with Jerry Reed talking about him as the most handsome man he'd ever seen and joked that he wished he was a girl LOL) and on top of that, he had a very eccentric sense of fashion. It's difficult to not look like a caricature or sound empty like Johnny Bravo.
Too bad he was gay/ bi with make up, mascara, hair dye, face lift etc and with Nick Adams...... More like the Queen of Rock n Roll. 😆 If natural in real life, He actually doesn't look anything like how he portrayed himself to be on stage or in public. Took ALOT of Work! 😆 Cybil Shepherd, lady who played elvira, Natalie Wood and others thought he was gay when they were with him in the 1950's because he could never get turned on to girls. The opposite illusion later created to hide himself from that. Hell, even Pricella Said he didn't touch her romantically or sexually for 6 years straight after being married. He definitely had some gay tendencies in the closet that they could hide back then from public or at least tried too better.
@@fey__3919 Saw Ben Portsmouth on stage and he swore and got a little blue with the audience. He thought he was being funny but it just totally ruined the night for us. He broke character and popped the bubble. He is talented but I wouldn't go back to see him again.
Fantastic tribute all great guys, it was great to see Freddie Star as the last act ❤🇬🇧but no one will ever replace Elvis he's a legend that will never be forgotten 🕺🕺🎶😢✝️
I'm a singer, that last high note was ELVIS, i miss him... I learned today that the Colonel was pissed that Streisand went to Elvis first about staring in a star is born. He would not let Elvis star unless he got top billing. Elvis was devastated, it was his last chance for anything during that time. Streisand could have whipped him into shape and saved his life. One thing Elvis respects it is real talent, Damn, we were cheated again.
Ben Portsmouth is brilliant lve seen him a few times now live and he is amazing live 👏 voice so like Elvis as best you can to the King. It would be great to see Ben Portsmouth and Shawn Klush sing on stage as a sing off.
I agreeXx Thank you to the gentlemen that do Elvis , where u may get lost in the dream , it is Elvisxx Bravo!! Elvis would have been impressed, honored, with these stunning tributesxx
Absolutely! I’ve been an Elvis fan my whole life, and I’m 64 years old. I never had the privilege of seeing Elvis in person. But he is my all time artist. He’s just the king! I loved the guy in the black leather suit and the guy that followed him. They sounded and capture the very essence of Elvis. But there isn’t a sound on this earth that will ever be an exact replica of Elvis.
I am so proud of Cody I met him when he was like 14 or 15 and was amazed at his resemblance to Elvis if he had started performing it wasn't on this level he is awesome he's 2nd favorite lol only to Shawn well of course Elvis being all of our #1
I agree sounds really well and his movement are really close to what Elvis does. Can you imagine how hard it is to move around like that and sing like Elvis? That's a talent in itself.
Ben is a good friend of mine for several years. Im so very happy you weren't disappointed. As a TRIBUTE ARTIST, Ladies and Gents, Ben is amazing, respectful, funny as hell.xx ❤❤❤
I saw Ben Portsmouth live on the Gold Coast Queensland Australia, and after having seen many many tribute artists over the years, (and being one myself in the 1990's) He is without a doubt the Ultimate Elvis., voice, looks, presence, he has it all. His portrayal of the 1977 Rapid City concert, was beyond belief! Cody Ray Slaughter as the 1950's Elvis (when Cody was younger) and I like Bill Cherry, for stage presence and personality! My top 3.....
Cody was a good 50s act when he was considerably younger, but the only one I've heard who could capture Elvis' early voice (not exactly, of course) is Jake Rowley.
Being an Elvis tribute myself Ben has best voice of all hitting them high notes and tones [his English accent is only thing i hear once in a while that bugs me lol but 95% there]. Looks very close too except shows too much chest but great facial side profiles especially. Trent Carlini was top 3 for me personally as well
I don't think their trying to replace him have you ever heard of keeping someone's legacy alive and bringing the world to know who that person was? That's what their doing for Elvis not trying to replace him a lot you are just negative towards some of the Elvis tribute artist for no reason.

Impersonating Elvis is a strange sub-art form -- not to be disparaged because its no easy feat to master -- not only the look, the moves, but in a few rare cases even the voice. I give these performers a lot of credit for being the best they can be. And if you have to imitate someone it might as well be Elvis.
Too bad he was gay/ bi with make up, mascara, hair dye, face lift etc and with Nick Adams......

My publicist got me a weeks gig during Elvis week visiting a string of dry cleaners in Houston. Until you wear the cape you have no idea the influence he has had. And to that I add....everyone who has worn the cape knows how far inferior they are to the King in every single thing! lol. Replication is the greatest form of flattery as they say.
BEN is so good and also Shawn Klush and Brandon Bennett too..I believe I think he did a tribute show at windcreek casino in atmore, al.. he's such a spot on impersonator.looks, voice , mannerisms, etc.
Who are these men? Each did a fine job and they are fine entertainers. They are not he, nor can they be, but his spirit of "all out" lives in each one.
Let me say : Elvis is Elvis ! And a lot of very good Impersonater exists, like them. But seems one of the best it was Jimmy Ellis. Thanks for this video !
Ben Portsmouth and Shawn Klush are two of the best in the world, it will be hard to beat either of those. But is anyone familiar with Dean Zeligman? That guy has it all -- you just cant get much better than that. He is definitely in my top 3!
For me Cody Slaughter beats them all. Ben is good. Dean Z is alright but looks more like John stamos than he does Elvis and Shawn Kluth is way too old.
Shawn has a good voice and puts on a good show. Out of these, Ben has my vote for looks and whole package. Cody Slaughter looked more like Elvis when Cody was younger. So far Donny Edwards is best over all. Bill Cherry is right up there on top.
I know the second one is Andy Kaufman, who does a surprisingly good Elvis impersonation , the third , doing bridge over trouble water sounds and looks just like Elvis, I think it's Sean Klush, he's one of the best , he's even gotten the approval of Graceland and actually toured with the sweet inspirations and some of Elvis's old band members
I watched Cody perform in the UK in 2019 pre Covid - if you closed your eyes you would have thought Elvis was in the building! I couldn’t help but cry - it was absolutely wonderful and surreal! He’s the best!
Folks, I Have Always Wondered Why These Guys Are Always Imitating Elvis Presley! Elvis Was The Most Perfect Performer God Ever Created and Singers Are Always Trying To Find Their Perfection By Imitating The Greatest Who Ever Lived! Elvis Is Just Irreplaceable And Those Trying Always Come Short! God Truly Broke The Mold After Giving Elvis To This World 🌎!
This was a great compilation of Elvis songs. They all did a great job, but there's always something missing though. The one and only Elvis could make songs sound amazing without even trying. It was truly a God given talent. Elvis would be proud. (At least I think)
Shawn Klush, came close, but there was only one Elvis! Even Joe Esposito was brought to tears at Shawn’s impression of Elvis said he felt like it was Elvis himself. Interestingly, even Elvis said he liked Andy Kaufman’s impersonation of him!
You are all are very good and I wish you the best. But there is only one Elvis.God Bless all of you and your families and your Band’s and their families ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have seen many Elvis impersonators over the years, the main reason they do it is the respect and love of Elvis, they keep him alive and in the public eye, yes some are good some not so good but all keep his image alive and makes him as popular today than when he was with us, Elvis has been dead more years than he was alive , these guys help keep him alive.
The first is a hundred times better than all the rest. His face is very marginally rounder than Elvis's, though the profile is similar, voice and movement perfect.
I've seen Ben Portsmouth a few times live now and my god he sounds so close to Elvis as best a singer can. In my opinion he is thd best I've seen so far
Jest jeden KING, najdoskonalszy najprzystojniejszy , legenda ponadczasowa o ktorej nigdy nie zapomnimy, KING wszechswiata na wieki Elvis Presley , Elvis na zawsze !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤15 05 2024r. ❤❤❤
Ben Portsmouth, Andy Kaufman, (Elvis said Andy was his favorite impersonation of him (tribute), Shawn Klush, (My personal favorite, and probably the best Elvis Tribute Artist ever.), Cody Ray Slaughter, probably the best younger Elvis Tribute Artist, not sure about the last one, but might be Rick Saucito.
I was standing in line at the buffet in Reno and they had a impersonator on a small stage and he was sooo good I let people go by me so I could watch the whole show. I think it was the first one.
The ones who are professional Elvis Tributr Artists: (2) Ben Portsmouth, (3) Shawn Klush, and (4) Cody Ray Slaughter, don't think they're Elvis. They know there was only one Elvis and they are fans who keep his memory and legacy alive. Don't be disrespectful.
@@KaylaMcNatt-xz4gtNeuctivost se projevuje tím, že si "hrají" na někoho, kdo nejsou!!! Není to pocta ELVISOVI, ale hanobení Elvise! Je to tak trapné, že je to až k pláči. Hnus.👎
Yea that's true these people keep elvis alive and that's good tribute to the king we all miss him my mum loves him and these are her word she listen to him every night
A good roundup for sure. Crazy that one of your top was Andy Kaufman, but you can't deny his brilliance when doing Elvis. The last one had the look that is for sure. Well done.
Never seen any of them but the last guy was closest to Elvis' voice. Shawn Klush is THE best Elvis act I have seen, I have been an Elvis fan 56 years so I am very critical .
I've never seen a bad Elvis impersonator and I've been to a good few Elvis tribute shows over the years. I've enjoyed them all as good or bad just like me they're all devoted Elvis fans. I liked Freddie Starr's tribute to the great man, I always knew Freddie was a massive fan, how could anyone not be? Elvis at his peak was his Las Vegas concerts in the 70s, hence instantly recognisable are his tribute acts in their jump suits. The greatest entertainer ever, how lucky we are that there are so many recordings of him performing.
Elvis was the Lord's gift to the world I think we should all let him rest in peace God bless us all for the Lord is our only savior as Elvis knew thank you Lord for our blessings and bless our country miss his music along with Lisa I also miss my father❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s a very true statement, but thanks to this impersonators he’s memory is kept alive, is more then it can be said about other artists that had pass and no one can bring a live version.
Great video, but it would help they were labeled with their names or listed in order in the description for those of us who don't know ALL of them. Thanks.
However talented..they just broke the mould when Elvis was born....you cannot replicate perfection.....well done those impersonators though.
They sound a lot like Elvis but there was something in his voice they replicate. Andy Kaufman came the closest
I agree with you!

I wish I could find an impersonator that can move his left shoulder like Elvis did...Elvis didn't try..it just came natural..and sexy it was!
It is pretty difficult to copy what comes naturally though (that's not a criticism of your post)!.
And the king lives on. Within these men.

Kaufman was a genius 👍

My vote- #1 moves like him. Has the "persona" down pat -but #4 looks ALOT Like him in the face; and I love the black leather look. ❤
Ben Portsmouth is the best eta
I’ve ever heard
Ben sings every one of these songs unbelievably
Got the best vocals moves
Ben Porthsmouth simply the best vocal range of them all he is my best
I like the first one. He even moves like Elvis.
He is ben portsmouth I met him fews and still want to meet him again :)

I've seen Ben Portsmouth a few times live now and my god he sounds so close to Elvis as best a singer can. In my opinion he is thd best I've seen so far
The 1st & 4th ones has Elvis movements and voice is quite close.
8:00 Shawn Klush. My favorite. Possibly the closest to Elvis you can find nowadays.
Embarrassing nowadays; increasingly tone deaf!
1st one is the best but no hair on his chest and then the 3rd one was good too!
I BELIEVE THE FIRST ONE WAS ON ELVIS WEEK ON THE DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY?!!!
Jest jeden KING, najdoskonalszy najprzystojniejszy , legenda ponadczasowa o ktorej nigdy nie zapomnimy, KING wszechswiata na wieki Elvis Presley , Elvis na zawsze !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤15 05 2024r. ❤❤❤
These impersonators makes Elvis Presley alive.
The king lives on
Ben portsmouth is by far the best there is and has ever been.
Be good to see a list of names for the impersonators :-)
Ben Portsmouth, Andy Kaufman, (Elvis said Andy was his favorite impersonation of him (tribute), Shawn Klush, (My personal favorite, and probably the best Elvis Tribute Artist ever.), Cody Ray Slaughter, probably the best younger Elvis Tribute Artist, not sure about the last one, but might be Rick Saucito.
Dee--I'm not one of the aforementioned, but I'm at least in the top 1,500.
@@mander40101 Sorry.To me there is only ONE Elvis Presley. How could you even suggest and compare? Please spare me Jesus.😒😠☹️😡🧐🙄😒😤
The last one is Freddie Starr
@@angekriekenbeek5935 shut up fat
Eh. Just proving to me once again there’ll never be another Elvis v
It s not the question at all ...
Another Elvis it the title of my third autobiography.
No the'll never be but they all 5 of them were verry good ud have to admit👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💥💥💥💥💥💖💖💖💖💖
I've seen many Elvis impersonators, the worst was Elvis himself ( watching him at the end was sad and pathetic!
@@joeconner2231 what do you even mean lol elvis presley is a elvis presley impersonator while he is elvis himself???
Best voice impressions of Elvis Elvis
Great List...Shawn Klush is The Best
Ben Porsmouth é fantástico! Amooooo💕10/2020
I was standing in line at the buffet in Reno and they had a impersonator on a small stage and he was sooo good I let people go by me so I could watch the whole show.
I think it was the first one.
All these guys are really good but Dean Z is by far the best I have ever heard💕
Totally agree
Sorry guys. There was only ONE Elvis and you're not him.
Yes!
Souhlas. 👍
The ones who are professional Elvis Tributr Artists: (2) Ben Portsmouth, (3) Shawn Klush, and (4) Cody Ray Slaughter, don't think they're Elvis. They know there was only one Elvis and they are fans who keep his memory and legacy alive. Don't be disrespectful.
@@KaylaMcNatt-xz4gtNeuctivost se projevuje tím, že si "hrají" na někoho, kdo nejsou!!! Není to pocta ELVISOVI, ale hanobení Elvise! Je to tak trapné, že je to až k pláči. Hnus.👎
Yea that's true these people keep elvis alive and that's good tribute to the king we all miss him my mum loves him and these are her word she listen to him every night
Eddie Miles was the best of all time then shawn klush they are number 1 and 2 .....numbers 3 - 5 is a toss up but those 2 did it the best
yeah agree one hundred percent
A good roundup for sure. Crazy that one of your top was Andy Kaufman, but you can't deny his brilliance when doing Elvis. The last one had the look that is for sure. Well done.
Elvis really liked Andy Kauffman as a tribute artist to him.
@@leebillington1909 I see why !!
Never seen any of them but the last guy was closest to Elvis' voice. Shawn Klush is THE best Elvis act I have seen, I have been an Elvis fan 56 years so I am very critical .
Sem dúvidas o number one Shawn Klush. 2 ben Portsmouth 3 chris Connor 4 Cody Ray 5 Dean Z
Cody Ray Slaughter is the most versatile Elvis Presley impersonater.
I've never seen a bad Elvis impersonator and I've been to a good few Elvis tribute shows over the years. I've enjoyed them all as good or bad just like me they're all devoted Elvis fans. I liked Freddie Starr's tribute to the great man, I always knew Freddie was a massive fan, how could anyone not be? Elvis at his peak was his Las Vegas concerts in the 70s, hence instantly recognisable are his tribute acts in their jump suits. The greatest entertainer ever, how lucky we are that there are so many recordings of him performing.
Shawn espectacular en Chile 2023❤❤❤
Elvis was the Lord's gift to the world I think we should all let him rest in peace God bless us all for the Lord is our only savior as Elvis knew thank you Lord for our blessings and bless our country miss his music along with Lisa I also miss my father❤❤❤❤❤❤
Could someone list who each of these are in order? I know the second is Andy Kaufman
That’s a very true statement, but thanks to this impersonators he’s memory is kept alive, is more then it can be said about other artists that had pass and no one can bring a live version.
Ben Portsmouth gives me chills! He looks more like Elvis and sings exactly like Elvis, and I've seen Elvis in person in concert!!
Wow how old r u now
@@theocasillas4052 Not old enough! :)
Ben is most definitely the very best
I'm a huge Elvis fan and saw Ben for the 1st time in October 22. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when I 1st heard him sing. He is amazing. 🎸🎶❤
Also Dean Zeligman Bill Cherry Dwight Icenhower Pete Storm Crhis Connor Michael Chambliss Gordon Davis
Great video, but it would help they were labeled with their names or listed in order in the description for those of us who don't know ALL of them. Thanks.
Bill cherry Elvis in the 70s and Cody ray slaughter in the 50s and 60s are the best..thats my opinion
Just my opinion the best of all time are Rick Saucedo and Dean Z and shawn klush
