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.
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.

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 🕺🕺🎶😢✝️
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 ❤❤❤
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.
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.

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
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.
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 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.
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
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...... 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.

He definitely had some gay tendencies in the closet that they could hide back then from public or at least tried too better.
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.
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
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.
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!
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'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.
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.
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)
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 !
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!
I've just cone from listening to elvis himself singing suspicious minds . the first one blows my mind I don't need to rate the others. the first impersonator is spot on for me.
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.
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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 🌎!
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
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.
All these performers showcased are excellent at their interpretation of Elvis Presley. I once read that Elvis saw the comedian Freddie Starr do his act and found it hilarious, probably because he did it tongue-in-cheek for Elvis but he would also take it seriously(as shown here) too. A performer needs an audience. Would anyone like to listen to my interpretive efforts. A little feed back(harsh or kind) from those who enjoy this kind of music would be most welcome, thank you.
Jest jeden KING, najdoskonalszy najprzystojniejszy , legenda ponadczasowa o ktorej nigdy nie zapomnimy, KING wszechswiata na wieki Elvis Presley , Elvis na zawsze !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤15 05 2024r. ❤❤❤
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 give them props for daring to impersonate Elvis.

1st one was Ben Portsmouth, he's great....#3 great, too Shawn Klush....

No one comes closer than Ben Portsmouth, not only his voice but his whole demeanour is eerily precise...
which is it? black leather suit?
@@be_metal The first one
Shawn Klush is really good
Bill Cherry is good 👍
Doug church voice much closer than ben
Ben Portsmouth is the best eta
I’ve ever heard
Ben sings every one of these songs unbelievably
Got the best vocals moves
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)!.
Elvis never died, he lives in all of us
He not in me?

Rick Saucedo is great My girlfriend Sherry and I always saw him and Trent Carlin
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.
Ben Porthsmouth simply the best vocal range of them all he is my best

I'm positive that's the British comedian & Elvis fan " Freddie Starr " ! ! !
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 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.
yes the first one for sure
the third one is sweating like elvis
Seeing Ben for the first time tomorrow night x
Oh man love the leather suit and your voice is amazing like Elvis ❤ awesome job God Bless you. Perfect
The 4th one definitely had the smile. Dimples & all. Put that smile on the first one & ring-a-ding-ding, winner! 😂
Loved the Bridge performance!
Andy Kaufman was Elvis' favourite Elvis impersonater.
Really??

Was there ever another man so beloved by the people?
YES...I loved Elvis..grew up loving him..so did all the females in my family

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
Happy Birthday Elvis & Jesse Aron Presley.
Elvis aron & jesse garon😁
The Last impersonation is actually by a brilliant British stand up comedian Freddie starr
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.

You guys should look up Donny Edwards. Great Elvis impersonator. Saw him live, and he is fantastic.
All these performers showcased are excellent at their interpretation of Elvis Presley. I once read that Elvis saw the comedian Freddie Starr do his act and found it hilarious, probably because he did it tongue-in-cheek for Elvis but he would also take it seriously(as shown here) too. A performer needs an audience. Would anyone like to listen to my interpretive efforts. A little feed back(harsh or kind) from those who enjoy this kind of music would be most welcome, thank you.
Great love and respect for the best looking man in the universe
Elvis king ov kings number one ❤
