hey look i love frank sinatra but elvis took this song and made it better and in his later years sinatra did alot of talking while singing which was good but this song needed to be sung and Elvis made the song better ,,sorry to the sinatra fans but elvis made this song better
If you wanna see a really great person do Elvis, go to this commedian who died 2 years after Elvis, it almost brings me to tears how good he is, go to Andy Kaufman on the Johnny Cash show, doing Elvis' "Thats when your Heartaches Begin". Astounding, to me, he seems just as good as any Elvis imitator I've ever seen, he is truly amazing, A MUST SEE.
Shawn is much better than Jimmy 'Orion" Ellis in my opinion. But there is one guy who puts the all to shame as far as sounding like Elvis, and that is Ronnie McDowell. If you don't believe it, check him out on You Tube. He is the one that made the tribute song, right after Elvis passed away, "The King is gone", hard to believe how much it actually sounds like Elvis. He does a lot of Elvis songs, and without even trying that hard, sounds just like Elvis
I love Shawn, he's for all thence of papooses is my King, or at least my version of Elvis since I was born in 86. So Shawn's all I got to satisfy my Elvis fix. So head over heels for him I'm tearing up thinking about it now, blush. I know some people won't get it, nor why a 25 year old is in love with a 40 year old and a dead guy but I don't give a dam.. Every other die hard and lifelong Elvis and Shawn fans know what I'm talking about. Saw Shawn in June and never been the same.
@Linton309 Have you seen Little Sister posted by elvisdave58? Some get the moves right, some get the vocals right. Not all of them are that bad. Though I still prefer the original Elvis Presley is still the best and only King of Rock and Roll.
Unbelievable. I've worked for an Elvis tribute artist, but I have never ever heard anyone sound so much like him and also create a very good visual. It's all about creating the illusion and he is awesome. I actually thought my ipod was doing something weird and he was lip syncing to Elvis' My Way at first. I would LOVE to take my aunt and uncle to see him. She and my late father saw Elvis in 1956. My mom and I have met Joe, and I can see why he was so affected. Thank you for posting this.
@Pentagon1311 Here. This is from wikipedia, lol. It was a much bigger hit for Elvis. On October 3, 1977, several weeks after his death, his live recording of "My Way" (recorded for the "Elvis In Concert" CBS-TV special on June 21, 1977) was released as a single. In the U.S., it reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart (higher than Frank Sinatra's peak position), number 6 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, and went Gold for...
@Pentagon1311 (page 2): ... and went Gold for its successful sales of over half a million copies. The following year the single reached number 2 on the Billboard Country singles chart but went all the way to number 1 on the rival Cash Box Country Singles chart. In the UK, it reached number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. I have the 45 that was released in 1977. I was 12.
Le meilleur Elvis que j'ai vus le reste est pas mal ridicule, ce gars là il a la voix le look et tout le reste fait une spectacle à montréal je vais être le premier à le voir ;-)
Shawn Kush sounds more like Elvis than Elvis sounded like Elvis...He is the best Elvis impersonator I've ever heard...In fact, he's gone beyond impersonating...He's transformed into Elvis.
wie er ist der beste elvis imitator den ich kenne alleine vin der op0tik her also die 44 die negativ beurteilt haben,haben keine ahnung sorry weiter so shawn
Saw SK last Saturday in Baraboo, WI, USA, and touched his hand, almost kissed his hand, but chickened out at the last moment, he's even better looking in person.. I was way more star struck then I thought I was because I couldn't believe I was in the presents of such a legendary ETA as SK. I bet it would be the same with EP except for passing out when he'd touch me, lol. I could barely say hi, and thank him for signing my stuff I got and for flirting with me, and couldn't ask for hug ether.
SEAN KLUSH: Hey America! Sean may be the "nearest thing" we are ever likely to see to the real Elvis! He did a respectable version of "My Way." Nice performance!
Shawn really nailed it here, I wish that other chap didn't sing with him because Shawn's rendition of "My Way" is incredible. Shawn Klush really is the closest thing to the king. Excellent job!
You know if you make Joe Esposito cry, it's over for the other contestants! Seriously, Shawn totally nailed it. There were a few times I almost forgot I was watching an imitation and was watching the real deal.
Some of these are definitely better than average and I wish I had the stones to attempt what they are trying to do. But I cant help think what I heard a comedian once say.."have you ever noticed that Elvis impersonators don't really look like Elvis but they do look like each other" Hahaah damn its true.
Shawn was amazing, when I heard this, I honestly closed my eyes and I thought it was Elvis, there is a slight different in voice but, he is the closest thing we'll ever get to the King.
I want a biopic of Elvis' life, a brilliant one, one that will bring the king back to prominence to younger audiences and I want Shawn Klush as the main man himself
If you make Joe Esposito cry, you either are Elvis or you are the next best thing to him. Shawn is that man. Absolutley amazing! I met Shawn and he is a really nice guy as well and a genuine great entertainer. God Bless ya Shawn for doing what you do and helping to keeping the spirit of Elvis alive!
LAS COMPARACIONES SIEMPRE SON ODIOSAS, MAS AUN IGUALARLAS CON EL REY, PERO SIN DUDAS LO MAS PARECIDO DESPUES DE ELVIS ES SHAWN KLUSS. TE ESPERAMOS EN AGOSTO........CHILE......
Shawn sometimes even improves on the songs. Amazing! Particularly in the low or mid range of the voice he sounds incredible. Shawn has an exceptional voice. Wow!
He is the only impersonater that comes close to elvis !! really good lookin and sooooooo much like him i knew he would win this from the start. love ya shawn !
@Ambassadorshows@Ambassadorshows ah its wamakebe a duo going thorough the stages of elvis life music and so on and they meet shawn after the stars show hes a cool guy
its easy to "sound" like Elvis - quite a different thing to sing like Elvis which no one can emulate. If he was that easy to copy he wouldnt have been as successful as he was or made such an impact on music, he didnt do it by looks alone, it was the voice.
All these guys are very good IMITATIONS of Elvis but Andy Kaumann BECOMES Elvis; he has Elvis' stages moves down perfectly. None of these guys quite have the movements.
well i'm man, very man but I think that elvis was a handsome man, as you can see in the face of lisa marie, her face caracteristics are so fine... the point is that even this guy so look alike is far to be like elvis. but yes... he is the best elvis impersonator.
I'm a huge Elvis fan. Throughout my studies of his life. I think after all these years that Joe Esposito gets emotional is awesome. He was only a couple of Elvis' friends that really cared and loved him. I would love to meet Joe someday. It must have been the time of his life when he was with Elvis. Thanks for posting.
I'm a huge fan too and I think it was lovely to see Joe Esposito caring after all this time. Do you think that Red, Sonny West and Dave Hebler that wrote the book 'Elvis What happened' genuinely cared for Elvis too?
It's Paul Anka's honour to have both Presley and Sinatra perform his composition, and Shawn is an amazing impersonator, well done!, but...if Elvis were alive, would he be doing Shawn Klush impersonations?....I don't think so.
I'm sure Elvis could do an "amazing" rendition of any song he chose. The question remains. Why did Elvis do junk by Sinatra and god forbid, Olivia Newton John, when he could he could have been doing his own, (and FAR SUPERIOR) songs? There were hundreds of his own wonderful songs he never did in concert or didn't treat seriously. Why do this crap?
iowa61:My way is a central tune in an Elvis contest due to the fact that it was a song that Elvis loved to sing and the fact that alot of people recognise the song as an Elvis presley tune...i dont take anything away from Frank Sinatra because he preformed the song wonderfuly as well and yes it was Franks song but it is also a song that was a staple for Elvis to do live,witch is why alot of ETA's preform the song
@Ambassadorshows nope,nope and nope..."Comme d’habitude" (French for As usual) is a French song written in 1967 by Claude François and Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut.
@Ambassadorshows Paul Anka, upon hearing the song while watching French television in Paris, got the rights to it (for free[1]) for his American production company. After rewriting English lyrics (which are unrelated to the original) Frank Sinatra recorded a cross-Atlantic version of it in 1969 under the title "My Way". "Comme d'habitude" has reputedly been recorded in more languages, by more artists than any other song in contemporary music history.
@TheKeepitreal ......SORRY FRIEND BUT ... THE SONG .. MY WAY ITS NOT A PAUL ANKA SONG......THIS IS A .. FRENCH SONG...WRITTEN BY ...CLAUDE FRANCOUIS...
@iowa61 Elvis loved to credit great Artist before singing their songs. Sinatra's My Way was one of Elvis's favorites to sing in front of a live audience. Especially because it represented his life. Brings tears to my eyes every time Elvis sings it.
The thing is, the other guy is trying to sound like Elvis but Shawn is just singing in his normal voice,lol. God, he is amazing! I'm so glad I saw him last night. :)
Joe Esopsito in my opinion, was a true friend of the King and for him to get emotional, that means alot. Shawn Klush is perfect. He should be playing in Vegas, if he's not already.
He's @ St Davids Hall with Gordon Hendricks (Winner of Stars in Their Eyes), Chris Connor (2009 European Champion), Jamie McDonnell Roberts (the UKs No.1 Young Elvis) and special guest Steve Preston
I don't know if I'd say any of these guys blow anyone else away. They're all doing their best to pay tribute to arguably the greatest performer of all time. Shawn is good friends with Justin. Definitely check him out.
We are all entitled to our opinion but surely you must be related to him to even consider he is as good as Shawn Klush. J.S is ok but in a characature way.
Most of the tribute acts (or 'impersonators', call them what you will, you pedantic lot) on this show were pretty poor. Shawn's the real deal. Credit where credit's due, don'tcha think. I'd go and see Shawn perform his tribute. It's ironic that Suzi Quatro was one of the judges, she turned down the chance to meet Elvis in the late '70s, but s'pose this was the next best thing...
@thedarksideBJ see i dont know why people be hating on others ETA's or impersonater we all do the same thing we all keep elvis memory alvie Shawn is a really kool cat he's awsome love the guy a good hearted person i met him in vegas when i first started out on the ETA he really is a true friend and god bless him for being my friend
Euh I think you did a mistake Shawn isn't the world greatest Elvis, (because the best Elvis is Elvs himself of course) but he's the world geatest impersonator, isn't he ?
no becuz they r not impersonators, they r tribute artists... they r not impersonating elvis, they r tributing 2 them.. im 14 and love him... plus my cousin is an eta and last night i saw shawn in concert... he was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shawn is the most down to earth guy you'll ever meet. I live like 2 blocks from him and have known him almost my whole life. I cant believe how big he got in such a short period of time. See ya at Savo's, Shawn!
I just bumped into Shawn Klush few hours ago and I have to say, I have tears in my eyes the first time I watch him performs. I never care about impersonators but this gave me chils.
You know what, I think God probably realized it was a mistake to take Elvis away so soon that he created someone like Shawn to bring back the memories and share with us who couldn't witness the real ELvis...
hey look i love frank sinatra but elvis took this song and made it better and in his later years sinatra did alot of talking while singing which was good but this song needed to be sung and Elvis made the song better ,,sorry to the sinatra fans but elvis made this song better

I'm a huge Elvis fan. Throughout my studies of his life. I think after all these years that Joe Esposito gets emotional is awesome. He was only a couple of Elvis' friends that really cared and loved him. I would love to meet Joe someday. It must have been the time of his life when he was with Elvis. Thanks for posting.

I'm a huge fan too and I think it was lovely to see Joe Esposito caring after all this time. Do you think that Red, Sonny West and Dave Hebler that wrote the book 'Elvis What happened' genuinely cared for Elvis too?

It's Paul Anka's honour to have both Presley and Sinatra perform his composition, and Shawn is an amazing impersonator, well done!, but...if Elvis were alive, would he be doing Shawn Klush impersonations?....I don't think so.

Can anyone explain to me why a Frank Sinatra tune is central to an Elvis contest?
iowa61 2 years ago
Elvis did an amazing rendition of My Way and it was an important part of his live show.
Ambassadorshows 2 years ago 2
I'm sure Elvis could do an "amazing" rendition of any song he chose. The question remains. Why did Elvis do junk by Sinatra and god forbid, Olivia Newton John, when he could he could have been doing his own, (and FAR SUPERIOR) songs? There were hundreds of his own wonderful songs he never did in concert or didn't treat seriously. Why do this crap?
iowa61 2 years ago
iowa61:My way is a central tune in an Elvis contest due to the fact that it was a song that Elvis loved to sing and the fact that alot of people recognise the song as an Elvis presley tune...i dont take anything away from Frank Sinatra because he preformed the song wonderfuly as well and yes it was Franks song but it is also a song that was a staple for Elvis to do live,witch is why alot of ETA's preform the song
Anthony4x4 2 years ago 2
it's actually a Paul Anka tune, he also wrote This is it! Jacko's new tune. Sinatra couldn't write. Elvis could a little bit.
TheKeepitreal 2 years ago
Very True Keepitreal. Anka did write My way. It was originally written for Frank Sinatra. I believe Sinatra was also the first to record it.

@Ambassadorshows nope,nope and nope..."Comme d’habitude" (French for As usual) is a French song written in 1967 by Claude François and Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut.
lebrel12 1 year ago
@Ambassadorshows Paul Anka, upon hearing the song while watching French television in Paris, got the rights to it (for free[1]) for his American production company. After rewriting English lyrics (which are unrelated to the original) Frank Sinatra recorded a cross-Atlantic version of it in 1969 under the title "My Way". "Comme d'habitude" has reputedly been recorded in more languages, by more artists than any other song in contemporary music history.

@lebrel12 I stand corrected. I did read that. I'm not very familiar with the original French version. Thanks for setting me straight :).

@iowa61 Elvis loved to credit great Artist before singing their songs. Sinatra's My Way was one of Elvis's favorites to sing in front of a live audience. Especially because it represented his life. Brings tears to my eyes every time Elvis sings it.

Joe Esopsito in my opinion, was a true friend of the King and for him to get emotional, that means alot. Shawn Klush is perfect. He should be playing in Vegas, if he's not already.

I don't know if I'd say any of these guys blow anyone else away. They're all doing their best to pay tribute to arguably the greatest performer of all time. Shawn is good friends with Justin. Definitely check him out.

We are all entitled to our opinion but surely you must be related to him to even consider he is as good as Shawn Klush. J.S is ok but in a characature way.

Most of the tribute acts (or 'impersonators', call them what you will, you pedantic lot) on this show were pretty poor. Shawn's the real deal. Credit where credit's due, don'tcha think. I'd go and see Shawn perform his tribute. It's ironic that Suzi Quatro was one of the judges, she turned down the chance to meet Elvis in the late '70s, but s'pose this was the next best thing...

Shawn is the most down to earth guy you'll ever meet. I live like 2 blocks from him and have known him almost my whole life. I cant believe how big he got in such a short period of time. See ya at Savo's, Shawn!

I just bumped into Shawn Klush few hours ago and I have to say, I have tears in my eyes the first time I watch him performs. I never care about impersonators but this gave me chils.
You know what, I think God probably realized it was a mistake to take Elvis away so soon that he created someone like Shawn to bring back the memories and share with us who couldn't witness the real ELvis...
