@@marion_R Yeah it's amazing how i heard about Elvis to hear him today omg. I feel guilty because Marion you already know how special he was in his time. I just finding out now and i think i'm mad at myself more then anything.
@@CVTECK1 it's crazy how rumours can stuck to someone for ever, even if they are proofed to be wrong or the whole opposite. *Elvis and the black community* or *King of kindness* will give you some first impressions what kind of person he really was. Thank you for answering!🌞
You say it like it is...When you discover Elvis, and let him into your soul, there's an emotional connection. No other artist can come closer ,like he's singing from his soul into yours....He still does it to me. Subbed to see more Elvis reactions.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me last July. He is the only singer that touched my soul and there is an emotional connection which is so strong. I cannot explain it.❤
Please don’t feel guilty, you are young and innocent, instead please feel blessed. You are fortunate to learn about one of the most celebrated artists of my lifetime. 🙏✝❤🇺🇸
Actually, there was. Many of Elvis' songs were covers of old 20s, 30s, and 40s hits. Are you lonesome Tonight, witten 1926 Unchained Melody, written fo the 1955 movie "Unchained" Rags to Riches, 1953 Hurt, Timi Yuro 1961 Just a few of big hit songs Elvis took to znother level, but Lennon was wrong with his quote. Without many of these songs and the R&B/blues songs, would Elvis had been Elvis?
@@kennethcurtis1856Yes you're right..most of us know this. Elvis was not a songwriter, he was a singer and performer with a great musical talent. Some of the songs had existed a long time. "Hound dog" was also a cover. He however, was the one who made them worldwide hits with his rendition of them. He was the first worldwide superstar. He was something completely new. Many people say "Elvis was larger than life". This is why Lennon said this. I know of only one artist of to day that can cover a song and make it her own like Elvis did. Her name is Angelina Jordan, age 17, and she was simply born to sing, just like Elvis. She did a cover of "Suspisious minds" to honour Elvis, and it is just mesmerizing.
People played sports sing etc , always have have done , golf was there before tiger , but he took it to another level , Micheal Jordon… too many to name … I think that was what Lennon meant . He was different on a different level on everything , voice , looks , broke boundary’s , was singing about problem back then to bring all races together , fought for equal rights , half his songs he was trying to fix the world we still have the same problems today .
Also a must-see is Elvis Presley performing Bridge Over Troubled Water, live in concert, in the white suit (like the one that he wore while performing "In the Ghetto"). It has some of the best sound and his vocal range is so incredible on that one. You won't be disappointed❤
All jokes aside, imagine 50 years after his death there are still thousands of impersonators performing and making a living replicating his look and music. Name one person in the world has this besides Elvis. There isn’t anyone but Elvis. There is something to him and there will never be another to replace him, ever.
I appreciate and love everything you are saying about Elvis. I am happy you know the real Elvis now. He was the best artist and he left us too soon.❤️😢
There's been so many bad impersonators of Elvis. You have to experience the "Real" thing to grasp the magnitude of Elvis. I'm 66 and people used to make fun of me for being an Elvis fan. Especially during the "Hippy" and "Beatles" Era. I didn't care...he was the REAL thing! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸
Yes i seen jokes and bad impersonators it felt like Elvis was a joke but now i get to listen to his music and i was so wrong about him but im happy i started to listen to this man.
You know the overwhelming amount of disrespect and character assassinating has nothing to do with impersonators . The pound of flesh that these lying insecure hyenas have tried to remove from Elvis' career and reputation has failed miserably but you can see who they are and what they write on YT and these internet biased uninformed revisionist storytellers pop-up but the solid foundation , reputation and critical acclaim of Elvis has stood the test of time no thanks to these so called fans who decided to ignore THOSE who try to tear down this epic performer and pretend the attack on ELVIS is a group of impersonators. LMAO. You know this is a load of garbage and so does this person who has this reaction site. Pretty cowardly. I guess it's time to pretend. It's 3rd grade recess everybody.
@@CVTECK1 Listen to Fil over at Wings of Pegasus you tube channel. He also does some technical break downs of Elvis' singing and guitar playing. I believe you would find it entertaining and enlightening. He also does other singers and bands.
I grew up with Elvis. When one of his movies came on we sat down and didn't speak until the commercial then my mom would have us do whatever we needed. He was a very very very special man. If you have never visited Graceland you need to. There is a trophy room with all his accolades and you can FEEL him. All the thank yous from his donations to things to improve kids lives. Its amazing. And when you walk around where the airplane and tour bus are they play on a loop "American Trilogy" and they have a theater playing his funeral procession. You can FEEL him just as strong in death as he was in life. AND I am so happy people are realizing what a HUMANE man he was.
I became and ELVIS FAN when I was 6 years old. I was changing channels looking for cartoons and suddenly this man named Elvis came on the screen. It was his movie King Creole. I was captured by this guy. I saw his great smile. The music was something I had never heard. You pointed out exactly what happened to me. I connected with him like I had known him all my life. He has a way of making you believe he is taking to just you alone. I am now 68 years old and still the biggest fan ever. I saw him 3 times in concert and the electricity he brought into the crowd was insane. Elvis seems to have magic powers. He is there when you need him. I listen to him all the time. He touches your soul. Thanks for your channel. Glad I found it. :)
I have been an Elvis fan since I was a child and I was made fun of too because all my friends were into The Bee Gees (who are great too), Kenny Loggins, Lionel Richie, etc…although all those artists are talented there has never been anyone like Elvis--he has the range of opera, the soul of R & B, the longing of country, the hope of gospel, the rhythm of the blues, and the drive of rock and roll-Elvis could sing any style of music because his voice literally brought all styles to the table. I would listen to him for hours growing up and I finally got to see him perform in person in 1976-when they played the entrance music and he burst on stage everyone was already crying.🤪 It was just emotional because his voice touches your soul like it was powered by the Holy Spirit.❤
You are so right. When Elvis sings so much more happens than the music. He is a gift from God to heal hearts, to bring joy and encouragement and so much more. He took me from a divorce after 32 years of marriage to being happy and whole again. So many stories like mine as well. Enjoy ! I'll be seeing him with new eyes thru your Elvis journey! 😍 Spread the Elvis love!
I subbed for the Elvis reactions, too. I'm so happy to see people coming to Elvis even now, but it doesn't matter. Once you really truly connect to him, you can never go back.
So happy that you're experiencing this incredible man no matter how long it took ... and I might say to throw the guilt you feel out the window. Elvis, IMO, wouldn't want anyone to feel that way. The heart, soul & love Elvis had for his fellowman was beyond "normal" .. He "turned the other cheek" to many times to count thru his short life...but he never strayed from his passion of music and his equal passion of just wanting to make people happy. He said "I wonder if anyone will remember me"..... here we are decades later and more and more young people are loving what he had to offer. No one like him ... then ....now.....or forever. Beautiful reaction and thank you! ~~ Sharon
Don't feel guilty. Enjoy the journey. There are a lot of us out here that have been fans for a long long time. We have heard everything that Elvis recorded. You get to hear his songs for the first time!. We are envious of you.
Don’t feel guilty …. People only remember the negatives and the media compound it by depicting Elvis as a caricature of himself. Pricilla Presley knew that Elvis dreamed of performing with a full,80 piece orchestra. In Vegas, there was only room in venues for up to 30 instruments. So ,in 2015, she worked with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, in the Abbey Road studios. They produced a fabulous album of his songs and it went straight to number one, If I Could dream. This was followed by The Wonder of you and actual concerts at the O2 in London with him up on a big screen and the live Orchestra playing. It was as though he really was in the building!! . Love seeing your dawning understanding of the talent and uniqueness that is Elvis. Thank you for keeping him relevant in todays times. Elvis himself was always worried that people would forget about him. He’d be so humble and chuffed that you are a fan. He loved all his fans. 👌💕🕺🙏
What is it they say, the light that burns the brightest, last half as long. I was lucky to have seem Elvis before he passed and will always remember it.
I don't understand why the Black community has been taught that Elvis was a racist and that he mistreated the Black community. How wrong!! This was a man who was born in one of the worst poverty situations at that time. Grew up around the Black community, attended Black churches and listened to Black music of that time. Just like any young man who is trying to find himself, he took things that influenced him and applied to who he was becoming. So musicly he put all that influenced him together. He created a sound back then that society hadn't fully heard before. Yes he did use Black music as well as country and western, gospel, blues. And Blended into his style.
I remember when Elvis was alive and I used to wait in anticipation for his new record to come out so I could bug my mother 100 million times are we going to the Sears to buy Elvis’ new 45? Are we going now? 🤣🤣 then one day I was walking through the living room and the world stopped turning because the news reported said my Elvis was gone. I couldn’t believe it his music kept was everything to a little girl who was sometimes sad, happy or just needed a friend. I watched a movie or spun a record Elvis was always my companion. 8/16/77 I lost my friend so no it’s not weird when u say u feel guilty an Elvis fan has a deep connection to him I think u r forming that connection. We r lifelong fans I’ve been one for 51 years others longer our connections are deep the love strong. Enjoy your journey TCB⚡️
BROTHER...YOU HIT THAT ON THE HEAD! HE DRAWS YOU IN BECAUSE OF HIS VOCAL ABILITIES AND DELIVERY IS UNMATCHED! AWESOME AWESOME REACTION MY BROTHER! YOURE AWESOME 👌
I love watching his live concerts, this is where he uses that big voice of his, yes he draws you into his soul and spirit, he sings every song with deep feeling and passion. Watch his lives its deep
My great-great-nephews are 4,2 and 1 and they all love Elvis. His music always calms them down if they're fussy or gets them dancing if I play some of his more uptempo songs.
i have now seen 5 of your reaction's on elvis and i for one have noticed you are like me , forget the bling the suit , the legend ...........you listen to the music the lyrics and you feel them live them and are touched as if it was you he sang to ........that is how i have felt for the past 55 years ( i am 62 years old ) and counting , even my great children get it ! thank you for the reactions , sincere and full of feelings ...............
He is much more than what some people have passed along . People talk about him before they really have listened to him. I am so glad you are now discovering the real Elvis.
I had a very similar emotional experience coming out of the Elvis film last year... something about his story just resonated and led me into a deep dive on his life and career. I went home and watched some of his live performances for the first time and was brought to tears because I felt I had totally misunderstood who he was as an artist and a human being. I hate how pop culture has twisted his image into a parody, because it robbed me of decades that I could've been enjoying this man's music and soul! Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy your own journey into Elvis. Great reactions.
Love it how you close your eyes, I do the same sometimes listening to Elvis.. My mum & dad were Elvis fans, so we grew up listening to everything Elvis.. Fabulous, wonderful singer..
You mentioned Elvis & his costumes. I once heard Elvis say that his dress/outfits/costumes evolved over time but one very important purpose of the costume was to make sure fans could identify Elvis on stage, especially fans in the nosebleed section. Elvis really cared that a fan got what they paid for. If you paid to see Elvis but all you could see was a bunch of people on stage & couldn't identify Elvis, you might be dissapointed & he didn't want that. So the costumes were designed to make him"standout" & were created & colored depending on the stage/arena he played Thats one reason he said "capes" soon became a part of the outfit; he would hold the cape open wide as he turned for the audience and get down on one knee, making it a great photo opportunity .....even far off you knew you just saw ELVIS and thats what you paid for & yiu were estatic. Elvis loved & cared for his fans, we loved him back & always will.
I thought exactly the same as you about Elvis for many years. Then last summer I listened to his songs 'properly' and I fell in love with him . He is the ONLY singer that touched my soul. He has made me cry listening to some of his 'meaningful' songs and made me happy listening to his 'upbeat' songs. There is an emotional connection which is so strong that I cannot explain it. I had the same 'guilty' feeling when I first became a fan. Elvis is truly GOAT ❤
I love when young people discover Elvis and fall in love with him and his music. This is one of hi songs Priscilla had a hand in putting his music to an orchestra... it worked. Elvis was criticized all his performing life but the fans knew better. Only Elvis forever.
Elvis has been gone from this world longer than he was in it and I love that people are still discovering him. I fell in love with him 32 years ago when I was 16 and everyone thought I was weird. Once you truly listen to his voice and know who he was you're a lifelong fan. Appreciate you.
Elvis was the whole package he was beautiful inside and out his charm and charisma was such a big part of him. As famous as he was he was just the kind of guy you just like to sit down and hang out with.❤❤❤ The GOAT
I love the way you speak about Elvis Presley. I never get tired listening to him singing. I grew up listening to him singing. Please, react to one of his hit song recorded live in Honolulu Hawaii 1973. Title: "YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN."
At 71 years old, I feel privileged to have grown up with the likes of Elvis. He is such an entertainer. He could be really funny on stage and then switch completely and sing something like 'In the Ghetto'! One of my favourites has always been Kentucky Rain and I also She's not You. I live in the UK so was never able to see him so thank goodness for RUclips 😊
He treated everyone the same, didn't matter of your race. Fact- James Brown was the first person and the last person to leave Elvis' wake. They were great friends. They had respect for each other.
So many profound words and thoughts there it's impossible to comment. But as a sixty-year-old and a musician my whole life, it's really fascinating to see all the different ways that people react someone who's been dead nearly half a century. But his music, his personality, his story, incredible tight and wonderful bands that he put together oh, it's just pretty amazing.
Don't feel guilty. I have been protesting the imitators, impersonators, apers of Elvis for years. So many young people think Elvis was a joke or a clown because of them. I believe most of them do it because it helps them get women. I really can't stand them. It isn't a tribute, it is an insult. Impersonating a famous person used to be a comedy act. It still is. Your reactions are sincere and heartfelt and I love that you are discovering his genius. He is the best. I saw 13 concerts, he was even better in person and also the nicest man I ever met. My family lived next to Graceland and my sister worked for him.
You said you couldn't stay away from Elvis,well I've been trying to for 51 years since i was 10 and i have to admit that it's never going to happen ,once an Elvis fan,ALWAYS an Elvis fan ,till the day you die !😍
That’s why we lose so much we judge without knowing but we welcome you and so glad you know about the awesome man that we love so much don’t be so hard on yourself ❤
You really are a big hearted guy....Glad you found out how he connects with us who love him. He gets into your heart as if he is singing to just you...and telling you how he feels.
Once Elvis is in your heart he's there forever you've so many beautiful songs to react too there's so many to have a favourite but try listening to Don't his voice is amazing and as you sahe touches your very soul enjoy your Elvis journey ❤
This Elvis movie REALLY hit home for a LOT OF PEOPLE that did NOT consider themselves Elvis fans. Thinking he was a joke, or racist. He was SO FAR away from those two things its not even funny. And the MOVIE and Elvis reactors like yourself have FINALLY cracked through the BS that sadly encapsulated Presley by people that just wanted to see him hurt or worse. E was a NICE GUY to the core, and I think todays generation is smarter than the last and is really enjoying their dive into Elvis' body of work and his extreme talent.
I love watching you listen to Elvis. I am seeing and hearing Elvis for the first time through you. I’ve been loving him for 50 years and love seeing you become a fan! God Bless ❤
Hiya love Elvis the king been a fan since I was five now I am 48 ,went to Gracelands in February it was great to see his humble beginnings to how he made it ,I have a suggestion for you , You gave me a mountain is my favourite song as it speaks to me as I have had struggles like the one he is talking about.keep up the great work.
I always listened to Elvis with my grandmas, they taught me about the King. I might be young but i can remember them putting the records on and it was like instant magic happening.
Elvis chose to sing this song because, according to him, he liked the song. It had nothing to do with his personal life - a recording of him admitting this is out there, found it on here recently so it's available for all. Love him always.....he was and is simply the BEST. RIP, EP ❤
You are so perceptive. You get to he heart of the matter of why we think the way we do, and how we could easily let others do our thinking for us and deprive us of the experience of things misunderstood.. And you've made me appreciate, properly, for the first time, this modern orchestral re-imagining of the sincere, soulful pop-country interpretation that Elvis delivered one day in 1972. That's why I've just subscribed for more of your thoughts!
What you said after the completion of the song was beautiful. What you describe about feeling guilty for not having previously given him a chance or judging him prematurely, if anyone would have understood and forgiven you it would have been him. He sang an amazing song about not judging others until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Once you really read about him in depth you discover this amazing person. He was a very human person. That’s not dismissing the very real inner conflicts he had but that he was a very real human being who at times stumbled like any of us do in our lives. In my opinion there are so many things that made him so lovable. What you said about the emotional connection is very real because he was real. He wasn’t just “performing”…he was communicating with other people in the way that he knew how. That is one reason why people after all these years still not only listen but CONNECT with him. Continue exploring his recordings and concerts. He will not disappoint you. There was a reason that Bob Dylan wouldn’t talk to anyone for over a week after Elvis died. There are reasons why all these years after his death, he still has millions of fans. There will never be anyone who communicates the DEPTH OF EMOTION through song as Elvis Presley.
If you don't love Elvis.. you don't actually listen to his voice... I know I'm predjudiced.. because my Mamma raised me on this man... but I love his voice.
Listen to the consument Elvis "Love Song" From 1961, his release single of "Can't Help Falling In Love". Pure Talent. No Auto Tune. I am a 70 year old lifelong ELVIS Fan. This is my favorite Elvis Song.
I understand the connection. Elvis is the greatest performer ever to me because of the way his music touches my soul and he can sing so many different styles of music. My favorites are his gospel and blues.
LOVE IT WHEN YOU TALK❤
Thanks for the kind words because most people tell me to shut up and i'm like its a reaction channel

Absolutely true
@@bigbarry0946 😀
Yes!
And that is a fact.
Elvis was just perfection . He had it all and was a genius at his craft. Elvis lives 💙
Elvis, said once to his wife Precilla that his greatest fear was that he would be forgotten, Elvis fans are determined that that wont ever happen
You are so right about Elvis. I guess we all connect with him and with his soul and his music it’s something unexplainable.

Well said. Couldn’t have put it better myself.
Elvis delivers! Thanks!
Better late than never! Elvis connects with SO many men and woman!❤
He got me and im happy with it
Anytime I am down I just listen to Elvis and I feel good right away.
Welcome to the Elvis Fan Club! ❤ Don't be so hard on yourself - just enjoy Elvis now and in the future 😊❤
will do thanks
Please don’t feel guilty, you are young and innocent, instead please feel blessed. You are fortunate to learn about one of the most celebrated artists of my lifetime. 🙏✝❤🇺🇸
Love you finding Elvis ! He was remarkable. As John Lennon said, "Before Elvis, there was nothing"
Actually, there was. Many of Elvis' songs were covers of old 20s, 30s, and 40s hits.
Are you lonesome Tonight, witten 1926
Unchained Melody, written fo the 1955 movie "Unchained"
Rags to Riches, 1953

Miss him dearly! Saw him twice in concert!!
What is it they say, the light that burns the brightest, last half as long. I was lucky to have seem Elvis before he passed and will always remember it.
I don't understand why the Black community has been taught that Elvis was a racist and that he mistreated the Black community. How wrong!! This was a man who was born in one of the worst poverty situations at that time. Grew up around the Black community, attended Black churches and listened to Black music of that time. Just like any young man who is trying to find himself, he took things that influenced him and applied to who he was becoming. So musicly he put all that influenced him together. He created a sound back then that society hadn't fully heard before. Yes he did use Black music as well as country and western, gospel, blues. And Blended into his style.
TOTALLY AGREE 👍 😊!
We know Elvis is dead, But yet you’ll get much more entertainment in your life from him then those alive today.
By far.
Powerful words Colm
I’ve subscribed so I don’t miss any new Elvis reactions! You’re in for a treat!
I remember when Elvis was alive and I used to wait in anticipation for his new record to come out so I could bug my mother 100 million times are we going to the Sears to buy Elvis’ new 45? Are we going now? 🤣🤣 then one day I was walking through the living room and the world stopped turning because the news reported said my Elvis was gone. I couldn’t believe it his music kept was everything to a little girl who was sometimes sad, happy or just needed a friend. I watched a movie or spun a record Elvis was always my companion. 8/16/77 I lost my friend so no it’s not weird when u say u feel guilty an Elvis fan has a deep connection to him I think u r forming that connection. We r lifelong fans I’ve been one for 51 years others longer our connections are deep the love strong. Enjoy your journey TCB⚡️
BROTHER...YOU HIT THAT ON THE HEAD! HE DRAWS YOU IN BECAUSE OF HIS VOCAL ABILITIES AND DELIVERY IS UNMATCHED! AWESOME AWESOME REACTION MY BROTHER! YOURE AWESOME 👌
Mike thank you and you just can't help but to feel the emotions with Elvis it blow's my mind.
I love watching his live concerts, this is where he uses that big voice of his, yes he draws you into his soul and spirit, he sings every song with deep feeling and passion. Watch his lives its deep
yo, CV, I'm glad you discovered the REAL Elvis! Thanks for taking us along for your journey of realization.
Great reaction it's fantastic watching you go down the Elbos journey. Welcome to the Legend experience
Love listening to Elvis!! Totally agree with you about he reaches your soul
Nothing you can do but to just go with it lol Love it
My great-great-nephews are 4,2 and 1 and they all love Elvis. His music always calms them down if they're fussy or gets them dancing if I play some of his more uptempo songs.
اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع
LOVE LOVE LOVE your reactions ❣️
Thanks Mary
i have now seen 5 of your reaction's on elvis and i for one have noticed you are like me , forget the bling the suit , the legend ...........you listen to the music the lyrics and you feel them live them and are touched as if it was you he sang to ........that is how i have felt for the past 55 years ( i am 62 years old ) and counting , even my great children get it ! thank you for the reactions , sincere and full of feelings ...............
He is much more than what some people have passed along . People talk about him before they really have listened to him. I am so glad you are now discovering the real Elvis.
I love it Diana and never felt guilty about not listening to an artist before
Well said.
I'm very happy that you are enjoying Elvis' Music! There will never be another! He is and was the greatest!
The power Elvis had. Nobody could match Elvis. Nobody. Canada
I’ve always a connection to Elvis…really silly, like I knew him. I think he just makes us feel that way when we watch him. 🤷♀️❤️
I had a very similar emotional experience coming out of the Elvis film last year... something about his story just resonated and led me into a deep dive on his life and career. I went home and watched some of his live performances for the first time and was brought to tears because I felt I had totally misunderstood who he was as an artist and a human being. I hate how pop culture has twisted his image into a parody, because it robbed me of decades that I could've been enjoying this man's music and soul! Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy your own journey into Elvis. Great reactions.
Love it how you close your eyes, I do the same sometimes listening to Elvis..
My mum & dad were Elvis fans, so we grew up listening to everything Elvis..
Fabulous, wonderful singer..
KING !!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so happy!!! Thank you for finding Elvis and loving him!😍
You mentioned Elvis & his costumes. I once heard Elvis say that his dress/outfits/costumes evolved over time but one very important purpose of the costume was to make sure fans could identify Elvis on stage, especially fans in the nosebleed section. Elvis really cared that a fan got what they paid for. If you paid to see Elvis but all you could see was a bunch of people on stage & couldn't identify Elvis, you might be dissapointed & he didn't want that. So the costumes were designed to make him"standout" & were created & colored depending on the stage/arena he played Thats one reason he said "capes" soon became a part of the outfit; he would hold the cape open wide as he turned for the audience and get down on one knee, making it a great photo opportunity .....even far off you knew you just saw ELVIS and thats what you paid for & yiu were estatic. Elvis loved & cared for his fans, we loved him back & always will.
I thought exactly the same as you about Elvis for many years. Then last summer I listened to his songs 'properly' and I fell in love with him . He is the ONLY singer that touched my soul. He has made me cry listening to some of his 'meaningful' songs and made me happy listening to his 'upbeat' songs. There is an emotional connection which is so strong that I cannot explain it. I had the same 'guilty' feeling when I first became a fan. Elvis is truly GOAT ❤
Around 2016-7, they took Elvis's vocals and recorded them with the Philharmonic Orchestra, they really are masterpieces!
Such a sweet reaction to this sweet song. You are touching us with how touched you are. I so appreciate you.
I love when young people discover Elvis and fall in love with him and his music. This is one of hi songs Priscilla had a hand in putting his music to an orchestra... it worked. Elvis was criticized all his performing life but the fans knew better. Only Elvis forever.
Elvis has been gone from this world longer than he was in it and I love that people are still discovering him. I fell in love with him 32 years ago when I was 16 and everyone thought I was weird. Once you truly listen to his voice and know who he was you're a lifelong fan. Appreciate you.
Elvis captures you from every angle
Elvis was the whole package he was beautiful inside and out his charm and charisma was such a big part of him. As famous as he was he was just the kind of guy you just like to sit down and hang out with.❤❤❤ The GOAT
You are going to be one of my TOP 3 Elvis reactors... I can just feel it bro. Keep it up, Keep it on Elvis! SUBSCRIBED.
GOD put ELVIS on this earth for all of us so we can feel better about each other and our self's !
I love the way you speak about Elvis Presley. I never get tired listening to him singing. I grew up listening to him singing. Please, react to one of his hit song recorded live in Honolulu Hawaii 1973. Title: "YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN."
Will add it to the list thanks Rose
Keep listening! His gospel, country, you're gonna love it all
will do kim
At 71 years old, I feel privileged to have grown up with the likes of Elvis. He is such an entertainer. He could be really funny on stage and then switch completely and sing something like 'In the Ghetto'! One of my favourites has always been Kentucky Rain and I also She's not You. I live in the UK so was never able to see him so thank goodness for RUclips 😊
He treated everyone the same, didn't matter of your race. Fact- James Brown was the first person and the last person to leave Elvis' wake. They were great friends. They had respect for each other.
So many profound words and thoughts there it's impossible to comment. But as a sixty-year-old and a musician my whole life, it's really fascinating to see all the different ways that people react someone who's been dead nearly half a century. But his music, his personality, his story, incredible tight and wonderful bands that he put together oh, it's just pretty amazing.
Don't feel guilty. I have been protesting the imitators, impersonators, apers of Elvis for years. So many young people think Elvis was a joke or a clown because of them. I believe most of them do it because it helps them get women. I really can't stand them. It isn't a tribute, it is an insult. Impersonating a famous person used to be a comedy act. It still is. Your reactions are sincere and heartfelt and I love that you are discovering his genius. He is the best. I saw 13 concerts, he was even better in person and also the nicest man I ever met. My family lived next to Graceland and my sister worked for him.
Lord this time you gave me a mountain.
Great song by Elvis ❤️🇦🇺🐨🐨🐨
The greatest voice God ever created!..😉
You said you couldn't stay away from Elvis,well I've been trying to for 51 years since i was 10 and i have to admit that it's never going to happen ,once an Elvis fan,ALWAYS an Elvis fan ,till the day you die !😍
Love hearing reactors listen to Elvis. Yes, he was that good.
That’s why we lose so much we judge without knowing but we welcome you and so glad you know about the awesome man that we love so much don’t be so hard on yourself ❤
You really are a big hearted guy....Glad you found out how he connects with us who love him. He gets into your heart as if he is singing to just you...and telling you how he feels.
with Elvis i just listen with my soul not my ears Amazing!!!
Once Elvis is in your heart he's there forever you've so many beautiful songs to react too there's so many to have a favourite but try listening to Don't his voice is amazing and as you sahe touches your very soul enjoy your Elvis journey ❤
This Elvis movie REALLY hit home for a LOT OF PEOPLE that did NOT consider themselves Elvis fans. Thinking he was a joke, or racist. He was SO FAR away from those two things its not even funny. And the MOVIE and Elvis reactors like yourself have FINALLY cracked through the BS that sadly encapsulated Presley by people that just wanted to see him hurt or worse. E was a NICE GUY to the core, and I think todays generation is smarter than the last and is really enjoying their dive into Elvis' body of work and his extreme talent.
I love watching you listen to Elvis. I am seeing and hearing Elvis for the first time through you. I’ve been loving him for 50 years and love seeing you become a fan! God Bless ❤
Hiya love Elvis the king been a fan since I was five now I am 48 ,went to Gracelands in February it was great to see his humble beginnings to how he made it ,I have a suggestion for you , You gave me a mountain is my favourite song as it speaks to me as I have had struggles like the one he is talking about.keep up the great work.
I always listened to Elvis with my grandmas, they taught me about the King. I might be young but i can remember them putting the records on and it was like instant magic happening.
Its all good because you found Elvis.....We don't count the time ....We count the Capture!!!!!!!
Elvis chose to sing this song because, according to him, he liked the song. It had nothing to do with his personal life - a recording of him admitting this is out there, found it on here recently so it's available for all. Love him always.....he was and is simply the BEST. RIP, EP ❤
beautiful
You are so perceptive. You get to he heart of the matter of why we think the way we do, and how we could easily let others do our thinking for us and deprive us of the experience of things misunderstood.. And you've made me appreciate, properly, for the first time, this modern orchestral re-imagining of the sincere, soulful pop-country interpretation that Elvis delivered one day in 1972. That's why I've just subscribed for more of your thoughts!
His Gospel music is amazing
What you said after the completion of the song was beautiful. What you describe about feeling guilty for not having previously given him a chance or judging him prematurely, if anyone would have understood and forgiven you it would have been him. He sang an amazing song about not judging others until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Once you really read about him in depth you discover this amazing person. He was a very human person. That’s not dismissing the very real inner conflicts he had but that he was a very real human being who at times stumbled like any of us do in our lives. In my opinion there are so many things that made him so lovable. What you said about the emotional connection is very real because he was real. He wasn’t just “performing”…he was communicating with other people in the way that he knew how. That is one reason why people after all these years still not only listen but CONNECT with him. Continue exploring his recordings and concerts. He will not disappoint you. There was a reason that Bob Dylan wouldn’t talk to anyone for over a week after Elvis died. There are reasons why all these years after his death, he still has millions of fans. There will never be anyone who communicates the DEPTH OF EMOTION through song as Elvis Presley.
THE WONDER OF YOU ON THE FRONT IS NAME OF ANOTHER SONG ALSO. LOVE THE COMPANY AND CONVERSATIONS
WE ARE WITH YOU. ❤YOU HAVE A GOOD ❤
I guess I'm not worthy for a👍___
If you don't love Elvis.. you don't actually listen to his voice... I know I'm predjudiced.. because my Mamma raised me on this man... but I love his voice.
Beautiful reaction ❤
He's a beautiful soul
This man's voice was phenomonal .. just ... wow. Listen to his voice.. he had a God given talent... just enjoy this man's talent.
Listen to the consument Elvis "Love Song" From 1961, his release single of "Can't Help Falling In Love". Pure Talent. No Auto Tune. I am a 70 year old lifelong ELVIS Fan. This is my favorite Elvis Song.
I understand the connection. Elvis is the greatest performer ever to me because of the way his music touches my soul and he can sing so many different styles of music. My favorites are his gospel and blues.
Its beautiful.
