Great to hear someone sing an Elvis song and not try to copy him,nailed it.
it's better when you copy Elvis though. Especially when you can sound a lot like Elvis.
@@Kinseliplier I think the reason try to impersonate elvis is because he sang that song with the upmost passion, which caused it to sound absolutely beautiful
@@reverseclouds1663 no the reason is cause it's his song and only his voice can sound good doing what he did.
@@abdhulhackul2620 no it dosen't using your own voice always sucks. it only sounds good in the originals voice.
@@Kinseliplier that's like saying chocolate ice cream is better then vanilla simply because you had it first, that makes no sense
Your voice is like a warm blanket on a cold rainy day.
I said something similar on another of his videos. I guess he touches us in a similar way.
I dont like clowns, but I could listen to you all day everyday. Your voice is like liquid gold. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you and I understand.
@@PuddlesPityParty I remember when you did a cartoon network promo for teen titans and ok ko where you sang a song about talent and skill. That was kinda funny.
@@PuddlesPityParty this song made me start writing. My last book of stories went missing one day, one of my stories ended up a movie, I gave up on writing. This song made me start again, in tears. When I get stuck I come back.
I was stuck again. Got through it in about 40 seconds.
Thank you.

Song Request: "Send in the Clowns"
Or how about "The Great Pretender"?
Not only one of Elvis's greatest, one of his most powerful by far.
Elvis was advised against releasing this given the political message and statement for the time, but he went against that and recorded it. So great that he did.
I'd never heard this song before but then again I was never really a big Elvis fan. Thanks for the info.
Yeah Parker wanted him to close with a Xmas song since it was at Xmas time. Elvis went ahead and closed out with the song he wanted to.
Very powerful song, and great statement
Forbid Mable That’s not true. Your talking about in the ghetto. If I can dream was written for the 68 special. Get your facts straight. Dreamer
Ron Trudell He’s right. The Colonel didn’t want Elvis to perform this song. It was a reaction to MLKs assassination.
That was amazing, and not only am I saying that because it is my favorite ELVIS song, but your voice is astonishing! I would love to see more Elvis covers from you, now that was some real talent! I'm subbing just for this video!
Let's not talk about dead Elvis, OK? Let's talk about a guy who purposely disguises his individuality behind an Everyman costume and has the audacity and the...appendages...to use his considerable talents, to take certain relevant lyrics and reassert them for our times and outside the context of pop styling, so that if we have ears to hear, we can rediscover said lyrics, and their meaning, and their relevance, and, by extension, something about ourselves and our place in society.
Or we can make fun of his hat without grasping any deep meaning at all.
❤❤❤Wow.....you said what I have felt for so long....but have lacked the ability to articulate. Thank you.
wow well said!
But... he put out a song by dead Elvis on dead Elvis' birthday. . . of course people are going to say something about dead Elvis. I happen to love dead Elvis. I also happen to think Puddles did an excellent job with this song.
@@dilligafTV1 mm
Dead Elvis? :(
Why anyone would give this a thumbs down is beyond me. Bunch a jealous clowns.
Cause his voice is average and his hat annoying.
Carolyn Nigro I don't see you singing on here. So he must be better than you.
Carolyn Nigro average? Definitely not.
@@fecnde I give props to anyone who tries this song. BUT nobody comes close The Pelvis' 1968 TV Special performance for power, passion, and raw soul.
This was a decent attempt but not Elvis.
Probably because they don't like it and honest feed back is good thing
That was a gorgeous cover. One of the most passionate songs Elvis released in his fantastic career. You did a great justice with your cover
The clown with the crown pays homage to the King. Beautiful song.
I don’t know what it is about Puddles. It’s not my preferred type of music, but I can’t stop listening to him. Sure, I might be out of my element here, but damn, this is great. 🤠🤠
Hold fast to dreams.
Just beautiful.
Long live "The King."
Hi..Geri Mars..I just wanted you to know something from well,a stranger from Traverse city MI..well I just wanted to say thank you too...😽🎭
This is my favorite Elvis song and you did a great job! I know this song comes from you heart! You are the greatest ❤️❗️
Can’t wait for you to come back to Vegas so I can hear your wonderful voice live again . Love this made my morning ❤️
Start: You've got big shoes to fill with this song
End: Raises glass and wipes tear
After: Realises the futility of telling a clown he's got big shoes. Laughs big
Well done sir!
" Life is Sad AND Beautiful " - Puddles
Hilarious!
Said perfectly
Can you do the Witcher song "Toss a coin to your Witcher." Would be interesting to see your version.
I wonder what Elvis would think of Puddles singing this song. I’m sure he would LOVE ❤️ it.
Beautiful! Just beautiful, P! 😍
You know, I’m an Elvis fan & I’m often put off by covers of his songs...but I NEVER am put off by your treatment of them. You do them so well!
Hi Mr.Puddles! When in quarantine you have sometimes too much time so I did this silly thing for you. Goes with the theme...😊
English isn't my 1. or 2. language so I'm a little bit "UNDER PRESSURE" here...
So here I am writing this "ALL BY MYSELF" just one "CHANDELIER" as my light. And I'm singing your songs....alone.. Hey, I have an idea! If you still have your "TELEPHONE LINE" maybe I could call you and we could sing together? I promise "WHEN YOU ROCK AND ROLL WITH ME" "TIME" just flyes!
Something awful happened to My smartphone "YESTERDAY". I dropped it into the toilet bowl. And the first thought was "AM I EVER GONNA SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN"?? Fortunately there was no damage! It would be amazing to see you and hear you sing but it's just impossible so far. But wait, "IF I CAN DREAM", and I can, I will dream that there comes a day when I'll see you, hear you sing and at the sametime try to resolve "THE WONDER OF YOU". But "IT'S A HEARTACHE" that I can't do it live. But in my dream I travel to visit you in a black Mustang "VEHICLE", the sun is shining, it's warm and "I'M KING OF THE ROAD" (well queen, but anyway:). And in my dream it's also my birthday. Of course because it's a "PERFECT DAY" anyway so why not? And it's My dream. I wonder if you would sing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to me? (You could use the name Kevin, it would be OK :) Anyway, I "IMAGINE" you would be as amazing, sweet and kind as you always are.
Now if you are wondering that am I some kind of "CREEP" or something for doing this I can assure you I'm not but it's okay to think that way because it's just that "YOU DON'T KNOW ME".😊
"I STARTED A JOKE" that I will send this to Mr.Puddles....well it isn't joke anymore 😅
"I HOPE" you liked this.If not, it's okay too...like I said it's silly☺
All the best, stay healthy and greetings from 🇫🇮
Ps. I'm a huge fan. And If I can dream is one of my favourites. And also 95% of my playlist songs are yours so....👍
♥️🤡💜🖖🏼
Have you ever done "Tears of a Clown"? A missed opportunity for sure.
@@kiratsi that's a good point.
Great cover in honour of Elvis' birthday and fitting for the moment of uncertainty in the world
leemarie there is always uncertainty, that comment wasn’t trying to dis on anyone just pointing out the fact that these aren’t stable time
Song after song, Puddles knocks it out of the park and is actually better than the original. Thank you.
I never heard the words so clear. Beautiful job Puddles.
LOVE IT! "If I Can Dream" is one of those songs you can just close your eyes and focus on the lyrics as the passion of it marinates in your soul. By far one of Elvis' most passion filled songs. AWESOME JOB PUDDLES!
Next song: "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" since the Top Gun sequel is coming out soon. Just a suggestion.
This is a very moving song, Elvis had his dreams that were cut short and this version is so great, every word expressed simply with conviction. A timeless song kept alive by a great artist.
"If I Can Dream" is written by Walter Earl Brown and notable for its direct quotations of Martin Luther King, Jr. ... The recording was first released to the public as the finale of Presley's '68 Comeback Special.
Suggestions for you:
- Fathers and Sons (Cat Stevens)
- Take Me Home, Country Roads (John Denver)
- Sailing (Rod Stewart)
- Wasting Love (Iron Maiden)
You're amazing, i love the way you reinvent the songs and gave then a new face. And please, do more of that James Hetfield's voice!
Oh Cat Stevens definitely!
Where do the Children Play world also be a good fit for Puddles.
I think it would be awesome too if he sing Mother Love - Queen
oh the John Denver one would be fantastic!!!
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear
We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can walk
While I can stand, while I can talk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah
LINDA. 🌹🌹🌹
Unbelievable Performance. 2020 starts very Good..😊
I enjoyed the power, pacing, and clarity of your version of one of Elvis's best songs. Bravo!
Hi Puddles, nice to sse you! Wish you and everyone here a good year, cheers from Brazil!
Awesome my friend, you just don't disappoint with your renditions of popular songs.
Puddles Puddles! 💓
Your voice is like velvet and it soothes my broken soul.🙏💓
To quote another Elvis (Costello) "What's wrong with peace love and understanding?"💓
With this song you could have won America's got talent in 2017. Lourde's song is cool but it doesn't touch the heart like you usually do.
Ahh Puddles! I'm starting to dare to dream, though it's hard sometimes. This is going to be a personal anthem for me to call up to help keep a goin'.
Simply beautiful!!!
You can do it lady!! Takes a strong person to take the leap of faith that you are taking! Also teaches ya to appreciate the little and beautiful things along the journey that you are taking.
@@xtravert2012 ❤❤❤
Love this man. He's absolutely fantastic! To anyone not familiar with him watch the many videos available! Brilliant! 👍
Suggestion: I don’t wanna miss a thing by Aerosmith
YES YES YES PLEASE
suggestion : ' I don't want to kiss your thing ' by your wife
Amazing, truly amazing 👏
BEAUTIFUL.... heartfelt.... Moving! Classic sound!!!!!! 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is one of my favorite Elvis songs, along with In The Ghetto and Walk A Mile In My Shoes, and I am very critical of Elvis covers, especially of those songs. That said, this is the best cover of this song ever! Well done!
You are too kind. 💜
I have been waiting for you to do this cover for years. Thank You and amazing Puddles, Kingtastic.
Elvis would haved loved this man .....
This was played at my Mother's Funeral. I have chills listening. ❤️
👌🏻👍🏻 Beautiful voice, thankyou for sharing. Blessings to you from Australia. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love puddles I'm having trouble talking lately because my MS is gitting worse but l can still Smile thanks to my friends and Puddles 😊
💪 ❤
Mary Garner I’ve never heard of this guy before. Obviously, he’s no match for Elvis, but he can move consciousness with his voice and that’s wonderful. Keep smiling my friend and know all works out fine in the end. Good luck 😊
Much Love Mary. To you and yours.
Stop faking it and go get a job.

gordon lightfoot, “if you could read my mind.”
I can’t think of anyone who would bring out the “feels” better than you.
Loved your rendition of this iconic, emotional Elvis song!!! His version and yours are different but both are equally powerful and gut wrenching!!! One of your best!!!!!
I mentioned on another video that you should go back on AGT as yourself, not Puddles. You should also go on the Voice as yourself not Puddles, because you’d have to talk after your performance....I’d love to see you win....if you sang this song...all the chairs would turn in a few seconds. You are so immensely talented....you’re truly a gift from heaven.
Yoyr act is so wholesome! But your voice....dude what a gem!
Pagliacci meets Performance Art with a dose of Drag chutzpah. If he wasn't musically and theatrically talented it would be schtick. Instead, he's strangely magnetic.
The lights burn brighter every time i hear you sing❤ thank you for this beautiful song
You're unique as hell buddy.
I have never clicked a like button so fast.
HAHA same here :D
Me too
I wish there were a love button
That kind of vocal control don't come easy or quick, folks.
Hey, that's a good one, "It don't come easy".
Your just amazing
Great interpretation, I love you voice¡ Please some song in spanish for your followers of latinoamerica, I suggest maybe Jose Jose.
This is one of my absolute favorite Elvis songs and you are one of my favourite singers. You did an absolutely wonderful job!
Can anyone tell me what the title to a song Puddles covered was? It was about a man looking in on the life of a woman he loved, but she had someone else, so he could never have this woman he loved. I used to listen to it a lot, several months back, but I can't find it now, I can't remember what the title is. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Wow! You are incredibly talented and I would love to see you in concert. Please consider a show in Honolulu. Aloha! 🌺
My brother showed me your video a month ago.. I was blown away by what I saw.
Such an original act that is a breath of fresh air from a man with a voice that
is just MAGIC. There are no words to express the talent I see here in you.
100% awasome!!! Love your voice skin! Yes i rock your shit up to 10 man. FACTS
Song Request: “If I had the world to give” by the Grateful Dead.
You are Great in every aspect and a good sound 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ..... 🍷😷💪👺
I love this song! I just watched a video of you at the Lincoln Center singing this. Amazing sound!! 💙
Wow! Just wow! Bravo my friend, brafuckinOOOO
Thank you Puddles for doing a cover for this song. I fell in love with this song after hearing Jerry Lewis sing it just before the end of one of his MDA telethons years ago. It's a very beautiful song and you did a wonderful job singing it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like the way he enunciates
I love seeing you perform this at the end of your show, exhausted and still able to pour so much emotion out, but it's also refreshing to see you perform this "fresh". TCB!
💙 this one puddles love your content alot have a great day and take care!
You did the song to perfection.
I grew up on the Elvis version. The feeling is supreme.
Most excellent my man/clown...

THIS GUY IS IN MY OPINION THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD
yep
Request: If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot
This man is incredible to be sure. How blessed he is with that voice.
That was awesome….can anyone let me know how I can get the music notes for the piano like in this video ?
Feliz aniversário.

The song is just so bloody good but Elvis singing it lifts it to another planet ! But we’ll done I enjoyed
DID NOT BLINK ONCE THE WHOLE SONG...
Clown magic
Puddles...do you have any idea where you can take people when you put your voice to words and music?
Amazing. Also, that is a great microphone.
Seu mérito nesse clipe foi "afastar-se" da voz do Rei.Meus parabéns e meu respeito. Certa vez alguém comentou: Quanto mais cantam parecido com Elvis...maior é a certeza que ele foi e ainda é único.
Love ya Puddles and don't forget to blink at least once every 5 or 10 minutes. You have to moisturize your eyes!
Your voice is so special. It deeply touches the heart. Please carry on.
Notorious B.IG. Pennywise has a great voice.
Great interpretation, an exceptional voice! Greetings.
well i dont like you sad clown, i just fall in love with your voice and the feeling in your interpretation
Thank you for this song, Puddles. Things are not going okay with me today, it's my son's birthday, and for stupid reasons, he is not in my life, right now anyway. Sometimes your songs hit true and hard, and I am able to toss the impetus for my tears on your voice. That is a good thing. 😊 This is a song for which I cannot find the appropriate words to describe, the world is bleeding, and is in dire need of, dare I say, peace, love, and understanding? To put it plainly, I am scared. Your singing helps. #cry #❤️PPP #☕
Wendy Jo Johnston we are in this together.
@@PuddlesPityParty You are, simply, the best. Thank you.
@@WendyJoJohnston Hi Wendy I know my comment is two years late but I just want you to know that I hope you are doing better now
Puddles you were robbed !!! Again AGT got it wrong !!!!
I'm a Elvis Presley nut, and I am highly critical of many of the covers of the songs he sung. That said... I truly enjoyed your rendition of "If I Can Dream" Puddles, it was done well and not in the style of Elvis which I found impressive. I love to sing Elvis songs myself, but I cannot stop myself from impersonating his style. You however did a crackerjack job, of giving it your own style. Well done sir.
Even more impressive because he used to do Elvis covers, and did them amazingly well..
Agree to disagree.
I would really like to hear Puddles sing a WEEN song. "If you could save yourself", "I don't want it" or "It's Gonna Be (Alright)" any of these three would be ideal, I do believe.
Peace of mind, Rare Birds lyrics, your rendition...?
if i can dream, i dream of a future where you get the attention u deserve to enchant everyone with your beautiful voice
My mom's favorite song
I never thought I'd ever say this about anyone, but your voice is currently rising to the same level as Elvis's voice, in his prime. Different certainly, but you are singing on the top step, outside the pantheon, the temple of truly great singers. -C
Absolutely stunning! ❤️
Stunning................and yes we're trapped in a world filled with pain
I have just discovered this diamond's voice !
AND, by the best possible way : with this song.
Goshh,waw what an amazing singer !
In fact,I'm already a fan. He has now a playlist in my phone.
If you're reading me Puddle,keep going,you're amazing 🤝🤝
You help me with my anxiety.
I love your charachter.
Thanks for sharing your talent with the world.🍻
I must say as I listen to your videos, i can understand the lyrics so much better than I usually do from other artists.
Nice version man, makes me more emotional.
