SHAWN KLUSH KEEPS ELVIS ALIVE AFTER 42 YEARS OF ELVIS DEATH WE STILL WANT TO LISTEN......SHAWN IS A GREAT PROFORMER DOING ELVIS IS EXCELLENT THANK YOU SHAWN
Pretty good pretty good, not only him but the band as well in playing similar to how it was originally done. But im 60 and I have yet to hear the deep soulful power Elvis voice had, not to take away from this mans effort but some things in life are and always will be one of a kind.
If you see this message. Look up "Bouke". Shawn is mediocre in his impersonations, but nobody is better than Bouke, who is an established Bouke singer in the Netherlands. He is not an impersonator at all. Bouke stands alone, no wigs, no suits, no fake sideburns.
Shawn klush thank you so much. But there is a little sadness when I hear you Elvis Presley it's not here. I know that you know but thank you for your tribute to our wonderful star. And I think you are a star in your own right and your heart is in the right place
If you feel sad when you look and hear him perform then something's wrong somewhere because as good as he is in fact he's so good that you think you're almost watching them you think you are watching him because he's so good so in my opinion what it really does is take all that sadness and all that crap away that never even entered my mind but to each his own God bless
*I can still ..... tell if it's Elvis or not. I have been a fan of Elvis since I was 3 yrs old. I'm now almost in my 30's. And I've loved & listened to Elvis almost all my life. And I can pick out which is the real Elvis. But, I am glad that these men/boys are still trying to keep Elvis's Legacy alive, great job to ALL of these younger & older ETA's. I'd love to see them one day. And always, TCB. RIP Elvis.*
I got to see Elvis twice. Once in Vegas at the International Hotel, and once in San Bernardino Ca. At the Swing Auditorium at tge Orange Show fair grounds.
Listen to those of us who were at those long ago concerts in the 70's. Shawn is it. Period. If you want to know what it was like, unedited, untouched up, go to a Shawn concert. It's what we saw and heard back then, when Elvis was feeling good.
I think people forget that these guys aren't trying to be better, they're trying to reach an audience who never experienced Elvis first hand and are helping keep his music and persona alive. I saw Shawn Klush and Elvis first hand and he touched the crowd in a way i never thought possible, for that brief moment, Elvis was alive again and that's what this is all about :)
This guys good I think Elvis would be pleased to see his music payed homage to like this , in fact Elvis met an impersonator while he was still alive and loved the idea , imitation is the highest form of flattery
@Chrisyxoxo I agree...I know Shawn and his family for more than 15 yrs. I first met him when I worked with his dad Eddie. The first time I heard him, my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I knew from that moment, that Shawn's tribute to Elvis would take him places and man, has it!!!! Keep on keepin on Shawn!!!
Why don't you people cut this guy some slack? Nobody's perfect but I think he's awesome. He's a very good entertainer and has a lot of moves like Elvis. This one and Pete storm or my two favorites. I am glad these guys are keeping his music alive, Elvis will never be forgotten he is loved by many, and I'm one of them. Thank you Pete storm, and Sean klush. You guys are awesome!!!
I saw Elvis Valentines Day Feb 14, 1977 in St Petersburg Fl. He was Fantastic!!!! This guy does not come close to Elvis. There was and is only one Elvis.
I miss Shawn so much and he is really Elvis or if didn't trust him telling this whole true story of Elvis don't know how he feels don't understand and Shawn feels really urge right now.
Almost Perfect right up until the very last note which Elvis took a whole tone higher. Amazing Performance . It's quite eerie Shawn sounds almost identical.
a este gran imitador del rey deberían de contratarlo para q cante en graceland la mansion del rey para q los fans de Elvis estén mas en armonía con rey
When I lived in Oz ( Sydney ) I went to see Max Pellocano ( ELVIS TO THE MAX ) at Burwood RSL a few times ..., but now living in UK going to see SHAWN tomorrow at Sheffield Arena ,,, Cant Wait
I sat against the stage every time I saw Elvis and unless you saw him in person you cannot imagine how great this really is. I saw Elvis many time in Vegas and never once, since he died, have I had goose bumps like I do right now. Shawn has the moves, the songs and the looks that are amazing. There is no doubt this is what he should do with his life. OMG almost like Elvis reborn.
i never saw Elvis...but i am pretty much sure that this man is the BEST thing that happened to us who love the King... and i agree with you Susan,he gives me goose bumps too :)
Well whatever floats your boat Susan as they say, but most of the people I KNOW who were there in Elvis' day seeing Elvis perform and even living with him say Klush is a joke.
Yes I agree I am sitting here and cannot for the life of me cannot take my eyes off this .I have never seen him but if I did I just might cry Elvis you will always be the king" but this guy is a close running second.
Kathryn Longsbey I know this is referring to an old comment by you but I have seen Shawn Klush perform and believe me I thought I had died and gone to heaven he is so much like Elvis- he looked like him, moved like him and sounded like him - he is the next best thing to the real Elvis!
Awesome!! Into my favorites! LOVE the backstage stuff...wish there were more video of Shawn kind like Thats The Way It Is was....I sure wish Elvis could have seen Shawn he would really be impressed I know! God Bless Ya Shawn! And thanks to AB for posting this video it rocks!!!
I don't kno why people do this... ELVIS PRESLEY would not like it. When this guy sings "hush little baby, don't your cry, you know your daddy's bound...", he is dancing to a beat this song never had! It'sembarrassing, I'f you ever saw ELVIS move, you can rest assured, at 2:26 secs in this song, ELVIS never ever would do this! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER, THERE WILL FOREVER BE, ONLY, ONE, ELVIS PRESLEY, ONLY, ONE.
Shawn is only baby boy who grew up there start channel Elvis and he is so cute and handsome baby boy who can do better than everyone else can't deal with beautiful icy blue eyes is front of my face.
I got news for ya folks... Shawn has only improved with age. I saw him 3 days ago and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I've been an Elvis fan since i could reach my moms 8 tracks.
I saw Elvis in Vegas twice! Granted he was the best, but Shawn Klush is the epitome of Elvis’ persona and music! No one can take Elvis’ place, and Shawn isn’t trying to ; he wants to keep Elvis’ music alive for all of our pleasure! He has been a fan of him since childhood; so to all who criticize Shawn, has no taste, or appreciation of a great performer
There is nobody that will EVER be able too be ELVIS THO. I think that it's so sweet that they are bringing his music too people who didn't get to witness the phenomenal , electricity of ELVIS. He was absolutely sent by God almighty . Best lookin man on this planet & that stands true too this day, and he was jus so very gifted....
I think he & Cody Slaughter are neck n neck. Shawn sounds more like ELVIS, CODY looks & moves more like ELVIS, but they portray two different eras in his life.
Of course no one will ever be Elvis but like they say imitation is the best form of flattery. I have been to some of the Elvis festivals in Collingwood, Canada and they all do a great job. Are the perfect maybe not but I don't see any of the haters that are posting here doing better. I would love to see some of the haters post their video of them doing Elvis so we can see how perfect they are. If you can't go better just sit back and enjoy and if you can enjoy then don't listen no one forced you to watch this or any other video of Elvis impersonators.
Lots of mean trolls here I see. I am a life long Elvis fan. I just went to see Shawn in concert last month and will see him every chance I get. He is absolutely amazing. All of Elvis' associates & musicians who worked with him think so and work with Shawn, too. This sounds great, but is not professionally filmed. Also, Elvis was not perfect. He missed notes and even lyrics in live shows. You can't fix live. Elvis was not perfect. Shawn isn't, either, but he has an incredible stage presence, an amazing voice, he looks a lot like Elvis and he does a very professional show that not only pays respect to Elvis, but takes fans back to a time that was taken too soon. He works his ass off to give something special to the fans. There are a small handful do a respectful show, also. I just prefer Shawn as do millions of others. No need to degrade & make nasty comments. These guys are sincere and are up there giving their all to pay tribute to the best. Of the thousands of folks trying to do Elvis there are only a handful that are actually good and not ridiculous other than Shawn; Ben Thompson, Ben Portsmouth, Cody Slaughter, Ryan Pelton, Dean Z., Donny Edwards. Maybe a couple more. Be nice, be respectful. If you don't care for Shawn or whichever one just move on.
Channel might be the right word. It is spooky sometimes. I was concerned last year when Shawn's weight went up that he was headed for the "must explode at 42" syndrome but he came out of it and looked great in Vegas this year. ROCK ON.
How many years have these Elvis impersonators been around now? About 40 years right? And there must have been tens of thousands of them by now. Now, some of them, not very many at all, but a few have sounded pretty good. But has anyone ever seen one of these guys that actually "looks" like Elvis? I have not seen even "one" of these dudes that even remotely resembles the King. Not One! Elvis was such a distinctive looking man. Very handsome, with that charm that just can't be reproduced.
Hi Paul , I'm the spitting image of Elvis and people everywhere mistake me for the King and to be honest I'm fed up with dealing with Elvis fans day in day out...when my time comes to meet the King I for sure will give him a piece of my mind...hang on there in and Just appreciate you were alive at the same time as Elvis and me.. LoL 😆 thank you very much!!!
@@Marlondurran They mistake you for the King, even though he's been dead for 42 years? Really?. Some folks aren't very bright are they...If you're the spitting image of him, why don't you get up there and do this? Make some dough. Actually, if you look that much like Elvis, I'm sure Hollywood would pay you handsomely to be in a major motion picture about the King. See, all these things you could be doing my friend. And I just have one more question, if you look so much like Elvis Presley, why the hell do you call yourself "Marlon Brando?"
@@paulsullivan1650 Hey Paul relax a little I was only kidding about looking like the king .I was being sarcastic to see what reaction people would have and you my friend were first to react 😂. But having said that I appreciate you taking the time to go into great detail on how I could be making a lot more dosh lol. Thanks man I will have to see my plastic surgeon first .... but thanks again and oh yeah to answer your question ...the. Reason I call myself Marlon Brando is because my Name is Marlon Brando in fact Doctor Marlon Brando. Hopefully my friend that calms you down a bit and as they say here " have a Nice day".
@@Marlondurran Dr. Marlon Brando? Yeah? Now that, I like. It's kinda funny, you know? Because I never really go by my name either. And it's always because nobody ever believes me. Because whenever I say Paul Newman, everyone says yeah, right. It's just not worth it most times.
@@paulsullivan1650 classic one and you picked Paul Sullivan ..in fact Paul Sullivan was Irish friend of mine in highschool and was a legend. He was proud of his name and would never use any movie stars name as he was proud to be called what his parents named him but that is not to be said of you my friend pity really 😅.. anyway Butch enjoy your day!!
Sirgrease: There really is no discussion to be had. Anyone who analyzes Klush's performance honestly and OBJECTIVELY and who knows Elvis of that era, understands that no ETA comes close to re-creating the performance, ease on stage, humor, and every authentic gesture (drugged-like?? I don't even know what that means). I'm grateful that the other 29,999 ETAs out there have a living example (replica?) of Elvis' concert years.
I'm a massive ELVIS fan and seen plenty of the ELVIS impersonators ,let's all put one thing in perspective there's no one will take the place of the KING ELVIS, but if I had to choose one in my opinion Ben Portsmouth
. .an excellent rendition of a very (technically) difficult song ..they had me near tears, the flutist was nothing less than stunning, the entire band was remarkable . .beautiful✨
I grew up with Elvis. He was like a brother to me. There will never be another Elvis. Shawn Klush is the closest to Elvis I have ever seen or heard. This particular production and song is not Shawn's best effort. See some other videos.
he is the greatest ever will be Shawn is like Elvis i think they switched body's wow man you are my idol Shawn 4 ever bro thanks so much for keeping him alive
That I tried to find out about Shawn is actually strange and it's about him and nobody never saw real Elvis actually was and he maybe being lying to us right and I tell him to shut up and he try to open his mouth I swear 🙄
I have seen Ben Portsmouth in concert but not Shawn klush they are both Brilliant so I would not compare the two amazing performances from both love them . Elvis will always be the King forever 👑👑👑👑👑💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢💘💞💘💓
@@Cultrix I think Chris is truly great, but I still think Ben is the best because in addition to having the mannerisms, moves and sound dialed in, Ben actually looks like Elvis, leaving nothing to the imagination.
@@steelbraided I saw Chris a couple of months ago & he simply blew my mind. I actually said to him later that there is no way Elvis could have been any better than he was . Unbelievably good. The packed audience of 2500 were in awe. Amazing show,
to each his own no one will be 100% like Elvis I watch a lot of etas and some do some things almost right and some don't I think it's each person choice close ur eyes and listen to each and every eta and if u know Elvis and a die-hard fan u will know and hear the difference just my opinion
he's not, look at martin fontain show's called elvis experience, priscilla presley came in montreal to see his show because she had heard alot of good things about martin but never seen him before because she always find it awkward looking at someone pretending being her ex husband and after the show she said it was the closest you could get of an elvis show and she even authorized him performing at the hilton ( the exact same room elvis was doing his shows in vegas)
He's going tribute artist and Shawn remember that Priscilla don't want him on her sight and he so urge about maybe he's jealous of him I am not say is who is Martin.
Having seen Shawn many Times here in U K,it's his charisma on stage that makes him the closest to Elvis,lets give the guy a break,he's an ETA,we know there'll never be anyone to replace the King,but in my opinion Shawns Great.
I saw Elvis in 76 and although he was in bad shape he sung his heart out. I could never pay to see a impersonator although I would pay to see hologram Elvis with the TCB band.
BEN PORTSMOUTH, THE IS THE KING NOW 2020, 2050, REAL REALLY, TRUE, VERY VERY, CLOSED. VOICED SOUND OF ELVIS ? BEN, THE SAME VOICES OF THE KING ? UNBLIEVABLED ? FANTASTIC ? HE IS THAT BEN, NOW ELVIS IS ALIVE IS NOT DEAD ? BEN PORTSMOUTH, THE KING 2020, 2050, EVER NAILED.
Klush was chosen by Graceland as the winner of Elvis Presley Enterprises first ever Ultimate Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis, Tennessee , and is the only Elvis tribute artist officially endorsed and approved by Elvis Presley Enterprises. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Klush Klush became grand champion at the $25,000 “World Elvis Tribute Artist Competition”. (Potawatomi Casino Contest). That year he received “The People's Choice Award” from Gibson Guitar in Nashville as “Best Concert Elvis”. In 2007, Klush was named the international champion of BBC1's [World's Greatest Elvis Competition in the United Kingdom by BBC1 Network U.K.Klush was chosen by Graceland as the winner of Elvis Presley Enterprises first ever Ultimate Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis, Tennessee ], and is the only Elvis tribute artist officially endorsed and approved by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
Watching Shawn perform makes me weep tears...
My mom listen to this songs three times she said the voice sounded so much like Elvis while wiping tears away !!!!
SHAWN KLUSH KEEPS ELVIS ALIVE AFTER 42 YEARS OF ELVIS DEATH WE STILL WANT TO LISTEN......SHAWN IS A GREAT PROFORMER DOING ELVIS IS EXCELLENT THANK YOU SHAWN
Excellent proformance. Hes great.
Theirs no body better. Good job 👍
Pretty good pretty good, not only him but the band as well in playing similar to how it was originally done. But im 60 and I have yet to hear the deep soulful power Elvis voice had, not to take away from this mans effort but some things in life are and always will be one of a kind.
Yea obviously
If someone can do Elvis better than Elvis , Then Elvis wouldn't be ELVIS! That said awesome performance Shaun .
If you see this message. Look up "Bouke". Shawn is mediocre in his impersonations, but nobody is better than Bouke, who is an established Bouke singer in the Netherlands. He is not an impersonator at all. Bouke stands alone, no wigs, no suits, no fake sideburns.
Shawn klush thank you so much. But there is a little sadness when I hear you Elvis Presley it's not here. I know that you know but thank you for your tribute to our wonderful star. And I think you are a star in your own right and your heart is in the right place
What kind of comment is that that's right it sounds like you're getting on to him because of what he's doing whatever I don't know
If you feel sad when you look and hear him perform then something's wrong somewhere because as good as he is in fact he's so good that you think you're almost watching them you think you are watching him because he's so good so in my opinion what it really does is take all that sadness and all that crap away that never even entered my mind but to each his own God bless
So beautiful and special 💖

Shawn is keeping Elvis' memory alive.. ♥️
I got to see Elvis twice. Once in Vegas at the International Hotel, and once in San Bernardino Ca. At the Swing Auditorium at tge Orange Show fair grounds.
When the quote Long live the King! Elvis lives by all these great impersonators keeping the memories alive "Elvis " by flattery.
Listen to those of us who were at those long ago concerts in the 70's. Shawn is it. Period. If you want to know what it was like, unedited, untouched up, go to a Shawn concert. It's what we saw and heard back then, when Elvis was feeling good.
Elvis was one of a kind. The best. That's why after 47 years his records still sell. That's why woman still cry for him. He was the best. RIP elvis.
It is amazing! Some shots and angles, and you would swear you are looking at Elvis. What a great talent!
Brilliant video. Thanks for sharing with us. love all the backstage shots.
Hermoso trabajo Shawn acá te saludo desde chile. Tu sabes amamos a Elvis
Shawn, You are amazing ! I luv seeing the little peeks into backstage, or setup ,the things we don't usually get a chance to see !
Amazing
I think people forget that these guys aren't trying to be better, they're trying to reach an audience who never experienced Elvis first hand and are helping keep his music and persona alive.

So true t c b away god bless
He is great Great
This guys good I think Elvis would be pleased to see his music payed homage to like this , in fact Elvis met an impersonator while he was still alive and loved the idea , imitation is the highest form of flattery
Saw Elvis in concert in 1968 when l was 12.
you are such a lying bastard
This is the best show I've ever seen in my entire life!
Christ Janet, you've seen some poor shows then flower.
@Chrisyxoxo I agree...I know Shawn and his family for more than 15 yrs. I first met him when I worked with his dad Eddie. The first time I heard him, my jaw dropped.

Hello dear,how are you doing?
Seen Shawn in elkart indiana . Learners theater .
wow . He was so fabulious .
Elvis lives on ok
Why don't you people cut this guy some slack? Nobody's perfect but I think he's awesome. He's a very good entertainer and has a lot of moves like Elvis. This one and Pete storm or my two favorites. I am glad these guys are keeping his music alive, Elvis will never be forgotten he is loved by many, and I'm one of them. Thank you Pete storm, and Sean klush. You guys are awesome!!!

Das ist mein Lieblings Song von Elvis,
Shawn Klush You are Fantastic :-)))
Gut gemacht Bravo!!!
Gruss Freddy Nock
Almost Perfect right up until the very last note which Elvis took a whole tone higher. Amazing Performance . It's quite eerie Shawn sounds almost identical.
Thought the same thing.
He must have had an off night or end of tour worn out cause i saw him 3 days ago and he hit that last note. He's only gotten better with age.
Wow....Shawn.... world's greatest elvis... .

Totally agree with you. Elvis only 1- Elvis for ever!
Agreed. It’s ridiculous to go to these lengths...
Shawn is only baby boy who grew up there start channel Elvis and he is so cute and handsome baby boy who can do better than everyone else can't deal with beautiful icy blue eyes is front of my face.
No one will ever come close to the God given talent Elvis had..but..this guy is pretty good! Plus he helps keep his memory alive!! I love u Elvis!!!
He is a gift
I got news for ya folks... Shawn has only improved with age. I saw him 3 days ago and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I've been an Elvis fan since i could reach my moms 8 tracks.
I feel like my hands so hurts.
Shawn is the best close Elvis performer

+Liz Mason Elvis Presley #1
People will not get the true picture of who Elvis was by watching impersonators, that's what his recordings and movies and video footage are for.
its Always good remenber the King but there is only one Elvis Presley t hanks every one
Very DAMN good Shawn
I'm a shawn klush fan
I do not understand all this negative comments. Shawn can sing and he has a very good voice. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
R. Schmidt Shawn is amazing
R. Schmidt if that's so how can you see if he is any good so because you think he is good doesn't mean that I do . Look up Bill Cherry and Doug Church
I think he & Cody Slaughter are neck n neck. Shawn sounds more like ELVIS, CODY looks & moves more like ELVIS, but they portray two different eras in his life.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Ben Portsmouth definitely
You should check out Pastor Bob Joyce s sons. Identical to the fifties Elvis.
yeah he is cool i like all the eta's they here to put on a show for a man we all miss. palmer
Of course no one will ever be Elvis but like they say imitation is the best form of flattery. I have been to some of the Elvis festivals in Collingwood, Canada and they all do a great job. Are the perfect maybe not but I don't see any of the haters that are posting here doing better. I would love to see some of the haters post their video of them doing Elvis so we can see how perfect they are. If you can't go better just sit back and enjoy and if you can enjoy then don't listen no one forced you to watch this or any other video of Elvis impersonators.
Lots of mean trolls here I see. I am a life long Elvis fan. I just went to see Shawn in concert last month and will see him every chance I get. He is absolutely amazing. All of Elvis' associates & musicians who worked with him think so and work with Shawn, too. This sounds great, but is not professionally filmed. Also, Elvis was not perfect.

I was going to make a comment but you said pretty much what I was thinking Shawn IS awesome I agree
Same
Absolutely deluded. You write that much, you must have had input in the bible
Well said, I agree💯‼️ Shawn is the only Elvis Tribute artist endorsed by E.P. Enterprises, which is a serious acknowledgement.
Amazing. Very good. If only he had been able to hit that high note at the end of the song like Elvis did, it would have been perfect.
Agreed
Channel might be the right word. It is spooky sometimes. I was concerned last year when Shawn's weight went up that he was headed for the "must explode at 42" syndrome but he came out of it and looked great in Vegas this year. ROCK ON.
Bill Cherry is a very accurate Elvis impersonator in the latter part of Elvis's career
Very good. He even looks quite a bit like Elvis.
How many years have these Elvis impersonators been around now? About 40 years right? And there must have been tens of thousands of them by now.

This man makes the hair on back of your neck stand up. The great Elvis exponent there is
Don't be silly Clive, he's not even close.
@@LFCPete He's a copy, obviously he's not going to sing like Elvis.
Are you kidding ?, I thought that was the idea lol 🤔
@@LFCPete Your a prick
Was there any need for that mister ?.
Grow up lad 🤔
Wow, you have got to be kidding, where have I been? Great show, thanks for the memories, j
My god !! The king lives.😲
This is pretty damn good. He has the talent as well as the mannerisms down pat. Good job!
The king lives,.....excellent best impersonater by a country mile,havent seen anyone come this close to the king.
You are awesome Shawn. Wow
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Sorry there will only be one Elvis he was unique 👑👑
drummer is incredible,
Theres only one ELVIS !! but this man does a good job , even to the fact he is getting obes like ELVIS was !!!
good cover
Many imitators only ONE ORIGINAL!!!!!
Sirgrease: There really is no discussion to be had. Anyone who analyzes Klush's performance honestly and OBJECTIVELY and who knows Elvis of that era, understands that no ETA comes close to re-creating the performance, ease on stage, humor, and every authentic gesture (drugged-like?? I don't even know what that means). I'm grateful that the other 29,999 ETAs out there have a living example (replica?) of Elvis' concert years.
I'm a massive ELVIS fan and seen plenty of the ELVIS impersonators ,let's all put one thing in perspective there's no one will take the place of the KING ELVIS, but if I had to choose one in my opinion Ben Portsmouth

Stunning
Where is Shawn now
Best tribute voice ive heard. Sounds 99% like Elvis
Why does everyone jump to conclusions just because this man has a God given talent
. .an excellent rendition of a very (technically) difficult song ..they had me near tears, the flutist was nothing less than stunning, the entire band was remarkable . .beautiful✨
His last note was ..CRAP ! He doesn't sing the key changes and hit the top note, Ben Portsmouth blows him off stage.
Shawn is Elvis he sings just like Elvis wowwwwww!
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I grew up with Elvis. He was like a brother to me. There will never be another Elvis. Shawn Klush is the closest to Elvis I have ever seen or heard. This particular production and song is not Shawn's best effort. See some other videos.
+George Grubbs vocally Doug Church is the closest
Michel brousseau Doug is not even remotely close to sounding like Elvis.
George Grubbs you need to check out Bill Cherry or Doug church . They are better by far
Nobody comes close to Elvis. Elvis was too unique.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
@@davidmoore2325 who the hell are you to call me dear.
he is great
Hello dear,how are you doing?
he is the greatest ever will be Shawn is like Elvis i think they switched body's wow man you are my idol Shawn 4 ever bro thanks so much for keeping him alive
randolph scott Hey look up Doug Church and Bill Cherry
That I tried to find out about Shawn is actually strange and it's about him and nobody never saw real Elvis actually was and he maybe being lying to us right and I tell him to shut up and he try to open his mouth I swear 🙄
I have seen Ben Portsmouth in concert but not Shawn klush they are both Brilliant so I would not compare the two amazing performances from both love them . Elvis will always be the King forever 👑👑👑👑👑💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢💘💞💘💓
Great talent !!
Ben Portsmouth sets a new standard for resemblance, moves and voice. Shawn is good, but Ben stands alone as the best Elvis tribute artist.
Totally agree with you. Been to see Ben twice, he has the voice and the moves to perfection.
Moto Mike yes, I agree. His performance on “Letterman” sealed it.
Watch Chris Conner & i'm sure you'll change your mind. He is unbelievable.
@@Cultrix I think Chris is truly great, but I still think Ben is the best because in addition to having the mannerisms, moves and sound dialed in, Ben actually looks like Elvis, leaving nothing to the imagination.
@@steelbraided I saw Chris a couple of months ago & he simply blew my mind. I actually said to him later that there is no way Elvis could have been any better than he was . Unbelievably good. The packed audience of 2500 were in awe. Amazing show,
Wow! What a great video! Thanks for sharing x
Hello dear,how are you doing?
The only thing God didnt give Shawn was Elvis's high vocal range, other than that Shawn, you are fantastic and still the best and ultimate Elvis!
Perfect
A talent many wish they had but it just does not exist
to each his own no one will be 100% like Elvis I watch a lot of etas and some do some things almost right and some don't I think it's each person choice close ur eyes and listen to each and every eta and if u know Elvis and a die-hard fan u will know and hear the difference just my opinion
Elvis died on my birthday 8-16-48 in 1977. Very sad day.
he's not, look at martin fontain show's called elvis experience, priscilla presley came in montreal to see his show because she had heard alot of good things about martin but never seen him before because she always find it awkward looking at someone pretending being her ex husband and after the show she said it was the closest you could get of an elvis show and she even authorized him performing at the hilton ( the exact same room elvis was doing his shows in vegas)
He's going tribute artist and Shawn remember that Priscilla don't want him on her sight and he so urge about maybe he's jealous of him I am not say is who is Martin.
Having seen Shawn many Times here in U K,it's his charisma on stage that makes him the closest to Elvis,lets give the guy a break,he's an ETA,we know there'll never be anyone to replace the King,but in my opinion Shawns Great.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
He awesomely
Crazy good!
ELVIS was HOT!!! NO one ever as good.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
He still didn't hold that last note as high as Elvis
Should be an update to this title to say, "until Ben Portsmouth".
And until Chris Connor.
I saw Elvis in 76 and although he was in bad shape he sung his heart out. I could never pay to see a impersonator although I would pay to see hologram Elvis with the TCB band.
I wonder why no one's done a hologram of elvis presley on stage yet?
I. Am. An elvis. Fan. He was a. Brilliant singer he still his god bless him
BEN PORTSMOUTH, THE IS THE KING NOW 2020, 2050, REAL REALLY, TRUE, VERY VERY, CLOSED. VOICED SOUND OF ELVIS ? BEN, THE SAME VOICES OF THE KING ? UNBLIEVABLED ? FANTASTIC ? HE IS THAT BEN, NOW ELVIS IS ALIVE IS NOT DEAD ? BEN PORTSMOUTH, THE KING 2020, 2050, EVER NAILED.
good job!!!
Awesome!
