Enjoyed your reaction Beth, As for Elvis and his voice, I believe it's impossible to really describe. He could sing any type of song and make it his own. I am always amazed at how his voice can convey so much emotion and make you want to cry, smile, move or sing. Their are and have been some great performers, however this man is in a world of his own.
@@seanfitzpatrick4730 keep this in mind, while true a singers voice can and does change over the course of a long career in the case of Elvis he started singing in the 50s and sang into the 70s... the sound quality of recording devices and microphone equipment went through huge changes in that 20 year period in history and should be considered as a factor when comparing artists through this time period. Did his range change? I would say yes, but we're we able to hear him as well in his earlier performances as we did in his later performances, I would say no... Can you image how awesome Elvis would have sounded recording with today's equipment.
Love Elvis. Thanks for reacting! What a voice he had. This track takes me right back to my childhood and It reminds me so much of my late dad who was a great Elvis fan.
The great thing about Elvis is that he could song anything ! From Jailhouse Rock to Such a night to If I can dream to American Trilogy and How Great Thou art . Try listen to all those in a row and you will be amazed !!
Been watching your newer stuff so I went back and watching older. Such a talented artist. Your singing is beautiful as well. And the little happy nose crunch is adorable. Keep up the great reactions.
Thank you for the beautiful film clip. I live in Hawaii, and Elvis is held in high regard on the islands. I realize that the song is not vocally challenging , however it's just simply great to see and hear him once again
Yes we have passed comments before Sean on Evis and the 60's, but as a fan probably longer than you, please give Dimash Kudaibergen a 25 year old from Kazakhstan a spin. He is now my number 2 favourite so artist of all time and covers 6 octaves. Try 'Sinful Passion' for a start and watch until the end, and would like your comments on this song that is just the tip of the iceberg on his musical capabilities. Dimash performed to a sell out crowd in New York 4 days ago.
Seamus Lannon I actually agree with everything you wrote!!! Elvis’ music in the early 60’s, the Elvis Is Back, G.I. Blues, His Hand In Mine albums, along with the his singles, is just my favorite era of Elvis vocally. Don’t get me wrong, Elvis’ 70’s material is great as well. I love everything brother. My favorite Elvis performances from the early 70’s, is all the material from Elvis On Stage, That’s The Way It Is, Country and the Love Letters albums.
I love your videos. You give much more insight than other vocal coaches with channels on RUclips. You are always kind and fair. You don’t bash, only compliment what singers do well and well, like you say, “what makes them, them”! Thank you!
How could you not pick Elvis doing My Way live on his latest concert in 77? :´( That's one of the most emocional vocal displays I've ever seen, and goes to show how this man shined until his very last breath.
There are literally hundreds in not a thousand how could you not picks when it comes to Elvis... you could dedicate an entire channel to Elvis alone because he was just that amazing
I love watching other people's reaction to Elvis. Especially the young. I was there! My mum took me to see Jailhouse Rock when I was seven and I've been a fan ever since! No-one else quite like him. Totally natural raw talent.

In this instance, what really makes it work is that he clearly enunciates each word. This is a good technique because it gives the felling that he is speaking softly or whispering. When people speak they tend to chop off the endings of words, "I can'T helP fallING in love wiTH you." When speaking softly or whispering, we automatically say the words more distinctly. That effect makes this performance seem so intimate. Many women over the years expressed that it always seemed like Elvis was speaking to them personally when he sang. As the lyrics in Alannah Myles' song "Black Velvet" say, "every word of every song he sang was for you."
I remember watching this movie in the theatre. He came to dislike doing these movies because he had a 7 year contract and ended up doing many he disliked...but not this one. I always cry when I watch these because Elvis was such a part of my teenage and young adult years. Everyone loved him. My other favorite bands back then were the Beatles and Moody Blues. But Elvis was in a class of his own. Still The King! Thanks for the memory!
Thank you, Beth. This is one of Elvis' classics. I was born in 1949, so the 1950's was the decade of my childhood. I heard Elvis for the first time in 1956, when his music was known as "Rock-A-Billy." Even as a tike in the second grade, I thought his voice was different and special. Sometime during the late '50's, a New York City D.J. named Allen (sp?) Fried called the new style of music "Rock-and-Roll." That name stuck. And the controversy over rock music started. By then, my parents would not allow me to listen to Elvis (at home). I listened to him in other venues, and I saw every one of his movies because of that voice. Obviously, this song brings back many memories. And Elvis' deep, smooth voice helps make the memories pleasant.
Really cool to see reaction to earlier songs and particularly one who has influenced so many It is also funny to see how production has changed. This is an excerpt from a movie, where videos today have the budget of one!
It's nice to hear a vocal coachs reaction. You should do one on Elvis singing surrender 0,his voice was amazing on this song. There won't be a video to it, but well worth a listen.
I was rather late to Elvis' music and voice but fell in love in 1968 from a special I saw. Black Leather jacket....Best voice ever! When he passed, I remember exactly where I was. I wanted to see him so badly but was too late. Did go to Graceland in 1980 and had a long chat with his cousin at the gate one night. Sent a card to his dad and actually got a card back. I was relating to Vernon about how my dad died at 45 in 1974.

My father is the best Elvis impersonator I have ever heard (never did it in public, just did it for fun), and I'm not just saying that because I'm his son. He had rabid Elvis fans that made him prove again and again that he wasn't lip syncing. My dad says that the main secret to singing like Elvis is, first relax like crazy. Elvis was *the* example of relaxed singing. Second, start to yawn. Half way through the yawn stop, that half yawn throat, as loose as possible is how to start to sound like Elvis.
Just found your channel, Beth. I simply love your delivery, knowledge and expertise on singing in these videos. We'll done you. I'll be sure to be tuning in to loads more! Thanks for featuring the king. In my eyes (and ears!) one can't do much better. Please have a look at more of his incredible range in his live version of 'What Now My Love'. Thanks Beth. You rock!
Elvis presley was something else we will never see again only in Heaven. I believe he was an Earth Angel. Love a miss him. He was the best singer a Entertainer that ever lived. The Gorgeous man that ever lived in the 20 th century.
To get a real sense of his range, check out two more of Elvis's early 60s tunes...Pocketful of Rainbows and Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello. His control and shift between his high and low register were in top form.
I have to tell you this is incredibly insightful for such a short reaction. It must be said that you are blazing hot but I'm sure you're already completely aware of that but it has to be said just like anybody would say it about all this. I am still fascinated with his voice. And his performing ability. I am a middle-aged white guy and played in bands for many years and I never had any classical vocal training and neither did Elvis but unfortunately I wasn't born with that kind of talent. I once read the Luciano Pavarotti said that if Elvis had classical vocal training, he might well have been the greatest opera singer of the century. And you can hear that when he does gospel for sure. How great thou art for example which is one of my favorite hymns.
I am of Italian descent but I live in Buenos Aires in Argentina as well as in Italy there is a huge culture for good performers and music, in my opinion Elvis has been for the United States what is Pedro Infante for Mexico or Francesco Guccini and Rino Gaetano for the Italians, I really enjoyed the video, thank you very much 🌹
You hit it absolutely to the hilt about the iconic magic of a pop music god, the GUY WHO STARTED IT ALL. . . ELVIS. Thank you very much for this wondetful video, pretty young VOCAL COACH!!!
Thanks for your wonderful smile as well as your reviews! Elvis has to be in the top handful of male voices thru the years..... You are talented and cute as a button! Thanks again for what you do.....

@Seamus Lannon Because George Michael is better and I don't like Rock and Roll, it's so old fashion. I like Pop. But if I was to sing like Elvis it's chessy, it's a joke. The new stuff is always better let's be honest. Yes, I know people are going back to Vinyl
Blue 552 Elvis is the biggest selling solo artist in the history of recorded music & has been inducted into more Music Halls of Fame than any other solo singer or Group. You obviously have listened to very little of Elvis’ music as he not only sang Rock & Roll but also Pop, R & B, Country, Rockabilly & Gospel. You claim George Michael is better but that is merely your opinion & not a fact....Michael did not have Elvis’ vocal range or ability to sing many genres of music like Elvis!
@@terrycullinane9437 OMG I'm still mourning that SEGA lost to Nintendo, and that Super Fast Cool Sonic The Hedgehog was beaten by Overweight Fat Moustache Mario - AND you've joined in to go back to this topic to remind me that Elvis is the King? What the mainstream tells me doesn't mean anything to me?
"It's Now or Never," was also somewhat from an operatic seed -- the Italian piece "O Solo Mio." From what I read Elvis' voice covers 2-octaves and a third. From the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Elvis' best octave was in the middle from D-flat to D-flat, granting an extra full step up or down. I was also told by my singing teacher years ago (and he was 20-years older than Elvis) that he noted that Elvis' intonation, phrasing & inflection skills were of exceptional quality. So creative that a singing teacher could not have taught him what he does. He was a natural. Maybe ultimately, that's the reason Elvis was so special. Even when singers with similar voices imitate him they miss the magical quality & pronounce words incorrectly. I enjoyed your assessment Beth, as I always do. You speak in a manner that allows people who are not familiar with singing to better understand the skill. I have also corrected people who refer to some singers as having a great falsetto when in actuality they were pure tenors. Nothing false about it. Especially when they hit notes with such clarity. Bobby Hatfield is an example when he sang "Unchained Melody."
I can never hear this song without see him in the "Aloha From Hawaii" concert. He did this last and he threw his incredible cape in the audience. It's now, I believe, on exhibit at Graceland.
I really like your accent and your voice so sweet. Always smiling! I recommend your to many friends and other people in music to helping focalized analysis on some singer voices and technical approaches. Thank you Beth!!!
The Lord blessed Elvis with a singing voice that was phenomenal despite not having any formal training. He may have been influenced by black gospel and blues singers in the beginning but he lacked that gin soaked growl in his voice which was as clear as a bell right to the very end.
There were.other songs that showed off his pipes. Fat Elvis, sweating over the piano, blasting his version of Unchained Melody was one. And man, he had some great pipes.
Trivia I'm from Memphis, Tennessee (where Elvis lived). The University of Tennessee's medical school is in Memphis. My Pathology teacher (1989-1990) was the Shelby County Medical Examiner when Elvis died. I never could get anything out of him about that.
This is definitely my favorite song of his. So perfect. I think you should do Hope There’s Someone by Antony & the Johnson’s. There’s a few good live options here on the tube.
Fun fact about Elvis. His number *2* dream was to be a famous singer. Movie star was his original and _main_ dream. In his first movie, he demanded that they not make him sing. However one of the movies songwriters wrote 'Love Me Tender' and after hearing the song, basically everyone involved begged and pleaded him to sing that song at least. He grudgingly agreed after hearing the song.
I live in Tupelo, Mississippi, the birthplace of Elvis. As you can imagine, he is all over the city.
Me too!
I lived there from Oct 1987 through June 2011. Live near Birmingham, AL now.
I'm from the UK, I have visited Tupelo a few times, I loved it there.
God bless and protect every square inch of Elvis Presley's hometown.
I've got to get down there. Been to Graceland, I've listened to him my 52 years of life. This is one way me and my mom bonded.
This is a masterpiece of the greatest singer of all time king Elvis, he can sing opera, rock n roll, ballads, country, gospel, and look good,
I'd say that he's the most versatile singer of all time. I would love to have anyone showing of a singer that could be "wider" than him. No joke he's inducted into more Halls of fame than anyone.

@@terrycullinane9437 OMG I'm still mourning that SEGA lost to Nintendo, and that Super Fast Cool Sonic The Hedgehog was beaten by Overweight Fat Moustache Mario - AND you've joined in to go back to this topic to remind me that Elvis is the King? What the mainstream tells me doesn't mean anything to me?
"It's Now or Never," was also somewhat from an operatic seed -- the Italian piece "O Solo Mio."
From what I read Elvis' voice covers 2-octaves and a third. From the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Elvis' best octave was in the middle from D-flat to D-flat, granting an extra full step up or down.
I was also told by my singing teacher years ago (and he was 20-years older than Elvis) that he noted that Elvis' intonation, phrasing & inflection skills were of exceptional quality. So creative that a singing teacher could not have taught him what he does. He was a natural. Maybe ultimately, that's the reason Elvis was so special. Even when singers with similar voices imitate him they miss the magical quality & pronounce words incorrectly.
I enjoyed your assessment Beth, as I always do. You speak in a manner that allows people who are not familiar with singing to better understand the skill. I have also corrected people who refer to some singers as having a great falsetto when in actuality they were pure tenors. Nothing false about it. Especially when they hit notes with such clarity. Bobby Hatfield is an example when he sang "Unchained Melody."
This was my wife's and I wedding song Elvis you will always be remembered I'm a true Elvis fan
thank you so much for doing one on The King.
His voice is like a small wave in the ocean goes low n up
So soothing...i love Elvis forever....
Every Beth Roars fans song to Beth Roars. She's just lovely
I love ihs voice and his songs and his hairstyle :)
I can never hear this song without see him in the "Aloha From Hawaii" concert. He did this last and he threw his incredible cape in the audience. It's now, I believe, on exhibit at Graceland.
I really like your accent and your voice so sweet. Always smiling! I recommend your to many friends and other people in music to helping focalized analysis on some singer voices and technical approaches. Thank you Beth!!!
The Lord blessed Elvis with a singing voice that was phenomenal despite not having any formal training. He may have been influenced by black gospel and blues singers in the beginning but he lacked that gin soaked growl in his voice which was as clear as a bell right to the very end.
You should give Surrender a go. It’s based on an old Italian song I believe. Great range of vocals.
joel Thompson great song. Would be a really good choice
Gawd you are just ADORABLE!
Love your reactions...very insightful. It would be great if you could do the song Just Pretend by Elvis Presley live 1970. Cheers!
I remember my mom and dad saw him in 1972 in Vegas.
I saw him in September 1972 at the Hilton.
The song "Trouble", from the movie "King Creole" was one of Elvis' best performances. Incredible.
Ive always thought when he digs for that low line "... For I....cant....help..." He sounds alot like Bing Crosby.
Love the channel. 👍
There were.other songs that showed off his pipes. Fat Elvis, sweating over the piano, blasting his version of Unchained Melody was one. And man, he had some great pipes.
Trivia
I'm from Memphis, Tennessee (where Elvis lived). The University of Tennessee's medical school is in Memphis. My Pathology teacher (1989-1990) was the Shelby County Medical Examiner when Elvis died. I never could get anything out of him about that.
Elvis had it all the talent, looks and was supposedly a really decent person.
What a great movie. Was always one of my favs as a kid. Angela Landsbury steals every scene she's in! :)
I don't think soooo
love that song of elvis , thank u so much
Your Welcome!
This is definitely my favorite song of his. So perfect. I think you should do Hope There’s Someone by Antony & the Johnson’s. There’s a few good live options here on the tube.
The Queen reacts to the King.
Fun fact about Elvis. His number *2* dream was to be a famous singer. Movie star was his original and _main_ dream. In his first movie, he demanded that they not make him sing. However one of the movies songwriters wrote 'Love Me Tender' and after hearing the song, basically everyone involved begged and pleaded him to sing that song at least. He grudgingly agreed after hearing the song.
Beth you truly are the best in love your accent in that beautiful red hair thanks for rocking the king there will truly never be a nathere
Long live the king..R.I.P. Elvis Presley you'll forever be loved and truly missed always
