Elvis impersonators from Vegas to Hong Kong put all their heart and soul into preformances entertaining the public (and themselves).  You can't not smile at a Elvis. 

For the record, the plural of Elvis is Elvi.  And, a female Elvis is an Elvira.

The Flying Elvi 

As seen in "Honeymoon in Vegas"

The "Flying ELVI" is a ten member skydiving team first featured in the fun filled hit movie "Honeymoon in Vegas." They combine a spine tingling aerial skydiving performance of smoke trails, pyrotechnic fireworks, and precision maneuvers with an over-the-top entertaining stage show.

Jumping from altitudes of 5,000-12,500 feet above the earth, they free-fall for up to 9,500 feet at speeds ranging from 120 to 160 miles per hour. Team members are all United States Parachute Association Pro rated skydivers with an average of over 2,000 jumps each. Having thrilled audiences at events across the country for the past nine years, these daredevils of the sky are more popular than ever, and bring a bit of nostalgia to every event as they inspire fond memories of the King himself, Elvis Presley.

The Spirit 

In addition to paying Elvis respect, being an Elvis impersonator is about the feeling it gives to the impersonator and the audience. Sometimes the impersonator enjoys the event way more then the audience.

Congratulations! 

To Trent Carlini

Elvis Tribute Artist Trent Carlini was named the winner of ABC's The Next Best Thing, a reality TV celebrity impersonator contest. Refered to as "Heartbreak Elvis" Trent beat out several other Elvi, as well as Lucille Balls, Barbara Streisands, Jackie Gleasons, Chers, Tina Turners, Little Richards, Robin Williams, and many more.

A respectful nod goes to Elvis impersonator Donny Edwards, dubbed "Bluesuede Elvis", who came in third (behind Frank Sinatra impersonator Sebastian Anzaldo).

These tribute artists were far more talented then any of the judges of this show, and were far more entertaining (unless really bad and unnecessary puns are your thing).

Tell me about it

What do you think? What was the best Elvis (impersonator) sighting you've had? Are you an Elvis impersonator?

the-secret

I like Elvis Impersonators, some are a little different, some are a whole lot different! Especially in the movie, Honeymoon in Vegas, where they did some skydiving!

I believe that 95% of Elvis Tribute Artists are not trying to make fun of Elvis, but rather pay homage to him.

Can anyone tell me of another entertainer, who has passed away, who is made such fun of? I can't! The only reason I can think of is that Elvis was simply such a huge entertainer that he became a very easy target for the 'unintelligent' ones out there to poke fun of. It's sooooooo tedious! Enough! There will only be one Elvis. Watch and listen to HIM and no one else. Behave!!
