  • Check out Andy Kaufman on the Johnny Cash show. Johnny Cash says the imitator that Elvis himself enjoyed the most was Andy Kaufman. See it on utube, pretty amazing. Does one of Elvis' first hits, "Thats when your heartaches begin". A must see.

  • HAHAHAHAHAH please.....Elvis would laugh at him.

  • Mr.Dough Church sings so naturally.....he is one of the best Elvis impersonator around.

  • Good God....a perfect voice double!

  • here the best elvis imitator i ever saw......with real voice......not like the others they want sound like elvis......./watch?v=pn2W7ntTW­5Y

  • doug you have did a amazing job singing. love it

  • he could be Elvis' brother and he is alive..just needs to be discovered again

  • BEATIFUL. .IS NUMBER 1 .MICHEL - ITALY

  • If you like this look up Doug Church Shes a lady spoof!!! Not really a spoof just a song E never recorded and it is Awesome!!!! Long Live The King!!!!

  • Anybody KNOW the Name for the 1st and 2nd Songs he does??!! something about the moon stars in the sky and the 2nd "suddenly I had a dream....never meant to hurt you never mean to make u cry" PLZ HELP!! thanks!

  • @rakyaband Yeah the song is "I'll be with you always".

  • awrite cousin did you ever .uh uh .

  • Nice job...good strong voice and great impersonation thanks for the outstandning job... really enjoyed listening to you ..

  • ELVIS IMPERSONATORS MAKE ME SICK!!!!!! I mean DAMN, have some respect for the greatest name of all time! It's one thing to try to sing and move like him in the privacy of your home or with your friends, but to go out and publicly humiliate yourself and all The Kings fans is downright offensive.

    If you truly love the man then let him speak for himself.

    RIP Elvis

  • @matizzle32 Just my opinion but a tribute artist give new life to E!! It !! is the highest form of flattery, it also lets the memory of My Hero E be spread to the new and soon to be fans of the one and only King Elvis Aron Presley!!! Yes some of them Arent so good and none of them have that spark that you just feel with E but some arent that bad and they really try with all their hearts to perform their best to the man they would love be!!!! Long Live The King!!!!!! Ps Doug Church Shes A Lady!!

  • @matizzle32 i know exactly how you feel. you try to look up Elvis and you get these posers

  • This guy is not even close to Ryan Pelton.

  • If that were true Kingwilly23, you'd be famous by now. Instead, you're a legend in your own mind.

  • It's just not the same. Nothing compares to the real thing!!

  • Doug is truly mesmerising!

  • the best is joseph hall fackers !!

  • agreed. he's very very good indeed. best i've seen online anywhere.

  • Wow this guy is really good. Amazing.

  • hes not an impersonate he is a tribute artist. he sings more than just elvis. he has an amazing voice and he is great on stage. not to mention he is funny as hell!! love you uncle doug

  • Cool!

  • OK I hate Elvis impersonaters. Too many with so little talent. I was in the music bsiness for over twenty five years. I was a singer and had a show band and also recorded. I was managed by the same manager that managed Dennis Wise. " Forever Elvis " You know the one that had plastic surgery to look like Elvis. Didn t work. But Dennis, even though I didn t like him personally, was by far the best. But this guy ain t bad.

  • Ain't bad ? what's the man got to do to impress he's been going for years and years and holds the record for the most awards given to any elvis tribute act

  • This is one of the best. I have just burned out on them. Too, Too many. I wonder how this man would do just being himself?

  • amazing song

  • obsession is sad

  • what a damn shit these imitators.

  • wow tooo bad he didnt look like him

  • great job.

  • Not bad. But Paul Weaver UK sounds better live.

    Plus Paul Weaver does Tom Jones too, so he is twice as talented than Doug.

  • Comment removed

  • Doug does more than 70 different impersonations

  • FANTASTIC 5  ☆☆☆☆☆

  • some1 can tell me in PM the title of the song in the beginning?

  • After all is said and done, there is only one ELVIS! Can't be duplicated. When Elvis sings, people only listen, anyone else, they talk back and forth! Elvis was done in by the dirtbags, Col. Parker, Sonny West, etc. that he hung with. If he had normal people around him, he'ed still be singing! Or had a woman That he loved, like Ann Margaret! anyone other than Priscilla!

  • Very nice voice~~~Awesome!!

  • one of the best not the best...

  • Hi, Nice voice

    I don't care if the face or voice looks like Elvis. It's the spirit that counts Elvis lives on end on. But I just have to say his voice comes very VERY close in Taimbre. i'm from belgium and good friend of Elvis Junior winner of the elvis contest 2006. i sing 2 like i siad its just the memorie that counts

    listen 2 me on my profile

  • Well i'll be damned looks like really him.! Bravo!

  • Not to be mean but he looks NOTHING like Elvis! You put the hair, sideburns, and jumpsuit on someone and Maury Povitch could RESEMBLE Elvis but Elvis was more handsome than ANY Hollywood actor! THIS guy is ordinary and undynamic in the looks department. I'm not TRYING to be critical but I think there's a REASON that he's called "The VOICE of Elvis".

    He sure isn't "The FACE of Elvis".

  • you are right there is a reason why he is called the voice of Elvis...not the face of Elvis...he isn't trying to look like Elvis...he is just trying to entertain people and keep Elvis' memories alive..so people can enjoy Elvis music. ..

  • I'm not trying to argue with you Scorpio31us because I think he's the BEST sounding impersonator out there but he WAS dressed up AS Elvis (Jumpsuit, jet-black pompadoured hair, sideburns, etc) so I'd say that he WAS "trying to look like Elvis".

    He should stick to SOUNDING like The King, that in and of itself is MORE than enough of an accomplishment.

  • I agree with ya, that's why I never like revealing myself physically when I sing Elvis songs. I want the listener to enjoy the spirit matching the vocals backed by passion. Who needs to watch fake Elvis's when you can watch the real deal, right?

  • how can you watch the real deal? see doug live, hes amazing. Youtube doesnt do him justice

  • Top Stuff! =)

  • can someone tell me how to impersonate elvis voice? i wanna learn it to sing one of his songs at a concert

  • Excellent!

  • This is a quote Paul has written about himself on his own website: Paul Weaver the greatest "Elvis Presley" impersonator and entertainer that Great Britain has.

  • Paul Weaver only has one video because he is humble and does'nt like to show off.

  • It is not showing off if an entertainer posts videos. That's called promo, called entertaining...would like to see Paul.

  • Iam not really an Elvis Officianode this guys good

  • oh really daddyboo9812? then why is it when you type paul weaver into the search on youtube, it only comes up with one bad video of him without any sound? If he was even half as talented as you make him out to be, he'd have as many or more videos than Doug Church.

  • I don't have an opinion in this case, but you can't judge the talent of a person based on how many youtube videos he has...

  • Not bad. But nowhere near as good as UK ETA Paul Weaver. Paul is so talented, he can also do Tina Turner as well as Elvis! Could Doug do this?

  • Doug is just the top of the class as far as ETA's go. I see I get a mention on this thread with reference to me singing Separate Ways, thanks...I do my best, but won't ever claim to match up to Doug Church.

  • closes I hurt.odessa tx

  • The Mystery Man sounds 10 times better than Doug Church and Johnny Harra and he's never ever made any money off of it.  Listen to the Mystery Man vids on youtube he's incredible.

  • This would be the "near Perfect" Elvis. Martin fontaines Elvis prosthetic eyes, Dean Z's forehead and hair, Justin Shandors face shape (100% match), Layton sommors Elvis smile (closest i've seen), Doug Church/ Justin Shandor (tie) Elvis voice. Actor Adam beach "aboriginal persona". But you could never imitate Elvis charisma.

  • just amazinggggggggggggggg

  • doug church is the man,but i was look n through youtube this morn and came across a gary gibson as elvis he sounds really good,anyone know anything about him??

  • for me ..the better are...doug church...jamie aaron kelley and donny edwards...!..is my opinion...! =)

  • Noooo, my Jimmmey OIRON Ellis is the BEST and he wares a ZORO mask tooo !

    Bless,Frwiends,STC,Allen

  • Gimme a break. This dude is NOT the Best. Matt Lewis is. And besides, Matt doesn't actually think he's Elvis like some of these morons do.

  • I have seen matt lewis in concert in chicago. his vocals are pretty damn good but I thought his moves where very unatural and where not even close to the way elvis moved. Maybe it was A bad night I dont know. Id you are refering to Dough thinking he is Elvis he doesnt. He doesnt dress like him off stage and hell he doesnt even have sideburns. They are fake and he only wears them for shows.Dougs vocals are dead on and he has the stage presents.I did not feel that with the prefromince from matt

  • you can't possibly think matt can sing do you? I mean really he's nothing more than a actor who has zero Elvis in him.

  • Doug has a nice voice and I think he pays wonderful tribute to Elvis. Doug's voice is not as strong as Elvis', but it is nice to remember the King. Compared to everyone else Doug has the best voice. Nonetheless, no one else will be Elvis and I don't think Doug wants to be Elvis. He can sing quite well on his own.

  • wow he sounds just like elvis

  • i swear was made by a black group in the early 90's why would someone want to make it country

  • Doug is a great ETA. Listen to Separate Ways by NewElvisArtist.he's amazin!

  • i agree with you JJ1985Jon.

  • Whoever you are muclesmarinara.........you are an ass for your horrible comment. If you can't say anything nice..........stay over the u tube...

  • TVOEROCKS-You are so right!! If you can't say anything nice, SHUT UP!!! Some people are just so jealous!! :-)

  • I agree TVOEROCKS..Musclesmarinara needs to shut up!! Guess some people are just so jealous!!

  • I would say that Doug is the only one whose studio recordings realy sound like Elvis.

  • is that doug singing i swear???>?

  • Ive just found out that Doug will be playing Westlands in Yeovil, England, 1st Nov 2008. See him live he sounds even better

  • this this one other guy who not only is considered to be the best Elvis impersonator but Elvis`s original band backs him up on stage as well.

  • this is a Jimmy Ellis song....it's from his farewell album.

  • Can anyone tell me why this video is not clear

  • Because dougs big fat ass is blocking the camera lens.

  • You don't have to be rude to this guy.

  • are you talking about doug church(fat ass) or the foreigner?

  • Check out Eddy sings Elvis on elsofilms is it fake? Eddy

  • L'unico CANTANTE ke può cantare le canzoni di Elvis senza distruggerle...

  • Speak english you prick.

  • I'm italian and I speak as I prefer...

    If you speak only english is your own problem...

    Sono italiana e parlo come mi pare...Se tu parli solo inglese è un problema tuo...Ke vuoi!?

  • Mi chiamo vincent ritello e tu madre e` stupido.

  • check out UK act Eddie Vee on here for some great clips

  • Really perfect, but i still can't find songs which ain't elvis'!! Does he sing smth else using the voice of the king???

  • He's good! Had me fooled for about 3 days when i heard his rendition on isound of stars and stripes and it was attributed to Jon Burrows complete with a picture of an aged Elvis! How mean can people get? Do a search at isound for jon burrows, you'll see what i mean.

  • ELVIS SAYS THANKS!

  • It's a tribute... not a clone and he's pretty damn good.

  • HE is alright, heard better

  • i have beentalkin trash about doug i apologize to him and his fans god bless you doug bob metcalf

  • Elvis never had fake sideburns and did not do impersonations of Beevis and Butthead.

    Tony Roi is the King.

    Anchor

  • About as close as I've ever heard.

  • You ougt to hear Ron O from Ohio. He sings in Ohio and Pa.

  • Resurrection.

  • If you want to see a funny Elvis spoof, check out the channel for madeyalook2.

    Video titled "Elvis costume 2006 halloween".

  • Liberty Mounten is better.

  • Johnny Thompson.."The Original Gay Elvis"!!!

  • Doug,this song is really good.and you sound excellent .RAPHAEL50

  • Look what I spotted - with the Promo Code TOPFLOP you´ll get a 110% match up to 550 Dollars at Doylesroom com! Couldn´t let that go und already found new friends there. It´s just great to play with free money!

  • Doug is good, but Elvis he isn't...

  • check out mark leen from ireland ,i heard him on vacation ,he,s on you tube.

  • How can you seriously say you're the best in the world? I work with guys now that can give you one hell of a run for your money... Your good, but stop the boasting be humble like the KING was.

  • Church and Fontaine are very good... but in my opinion Stephen Kabakos is the whole package. He has the look, the voice and the performance.

  • Impersonator?  Sad really.

    Original is the only way to go.

    and no one can ever replace Elvis.

    Viva The King!

  • it's the perspective you got all wrong, he's not trying to replace him. He's just preforming with elvis songs, that's good for keeping elvis-spirit alive.

  • I seriously doubt Elvis spirit needs to be "kept alive" by tribute artists making mega-bucks out of the image/music/voice of the King. There is enough films and recordings and real-life memories existing that Elvis will never die.

    No one compares to Elvis, particularly these tribute artists living off his legacy.

    Shame!

  • Actually, Doug is not an IMPERSONATOR..... he is an ETA, an "Elvis Tribute Artist" and he does his best to pay tribute to the King of Rock & Roll. Thanks God for Doug, he has been blessed with an amazing voice, the closest there is to Elvis.

  • doug is the real and alive elvis , a plastic surgeon mofified his face , he is the real elvis , find information about that, a news reporter got killed when he find this information and discovered he is the real elvis presley

  • yea...right. This guy is good, but he AINT Elvis, ok. elvis is very Dead, but will forever be the King of Rock and Roll.

  • do not trust me budy , just find the information. and i agree ELVIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY

  • Stanbush86 - You can find the whole song here, by doug church.

    youtube (dot) com/watch?v=OSWB4jod3Ts

  • i'll be with you always , there are some youtube clips of that song, it's very beutiful

  • even elvis doen't sound like elvis on some songs or on some live songs . this guy is good

  • his voice cannot be distinguished from elvis on some songs but on others , you can tell .

  • I did'nt think anyone could do him justice. By far the best I ever heard.

  • have you done the song "once in a while"?

    Listen to Dean Martin sing it in the cd

    Sitting on top of the world..

    it was a natural for Elvis with chorus...

    and could be a hit.. graceland said he never did it. You do sound like elvis right on the mark.. this could be a great moment in history.

    Elvis should have sung the wonder woman theme!!!

  • FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

  • well well.. he is pretty good.

  • gotto say this is the best elvis inpersonator ive heard,shut your eyes and listen,big respect for doug,elvis can never ever be replaced but what a fantastic compliment to the king.

  • This guy not only sounds a lot like Elvis, he has a lot of his subtle movements down. Especially from around 1:18 to 1:28. And then at about 1:50, when he looks to someone stage left...just that quick little movement was spot-on Elvis.

  • Dang! I hate to admit it but...he is good!

  • You are the best Elvis impersonator I ever heard,without doubt!! In fact it`s difficult to tell whose the real one!!

  • Elvis is still with us, with doug church!

  • Doug has a great voice, as do many other ETA's such as Shawn Klush, Donny Edwards, Walt Sanders, etc. We have to appreciate their talent and enjoy that they are keeping the legend alive. There is only one King and the real deal, Elvis Presley himself. Rock on guys!

  • Welcome inside my videos too ...

    For me & many persons, Doug CHURCH & Martin FONTAINE from Quebec/CANADA are the 2 Best Elvis Impersonators in the World.

  • if i wasnt lookin at him and close ur eyes id swear it was elvis even if u looked at him quick he looks like him haha elvis mystery ,, mabey its really elvis and he is using that name as a cover up

  • Doug Church is a fantastic elvis impersonator, I wish I was as good, but im not, youll see how bad i am by clicking my user name and watching my video

  • Why is it that these people insist on impersonating Elvis at his worst? Elvis'reputation was made by the Sun years and carried on throughout 1957,1958 and 1959 at RCA...he was the iconic rebel, theguru of real rock n roll...yet all these guys, lets face it, middle aged and overweight men want to do is to climb into a jump suit and remind the world of what he became, an overweight, parody of himself.

    If you want to see a proper impersonator then go and see Travis LeDoyte or Eddie Clendenning.

  • Wildcatmike. Its probably because they don't remember him at his best (if you don't mind me saying - you are rather too young yourself). I agree with John Lennon - Elvis "died" when he went into the army.

  • Seems like there is a million people who want to impersonate Elvis. Strange phenomenon. Not something you can say about any other artist

  • This guy is very good....i think the best...

  • Check out Doug's website and notice that he gives his KUDOS to Jimmy Ellis. These guys are so close in vocal ability it's scarey. NO OTHER ETA is even in their league. R.I.P. Jimmy Ellis. I have met Doug and he really is a class act. DOUGCHURCHUSA dot com.

  • Check out Jimmy Ellis on YouTube singing the first song that Doug started out with on this video. Their voices are identical. Doug is good BUT he is NOT the BEST ETA out there. If he were, why wasn't he picked at one of the 10 guys who are at Memphis this week??? We have an ETA in our hometown who sounds better than Doug! Check out EchosofaLegend--Stephen Freeman...HE ROCKS!!!!

  • Obviously not an Elvis fan,doug ch is miles ahead of ellis and your mate freeman is shit..

  • bolox114, I have probably been around since you were in the crib sucking on your pacifier. Am sure I know more about Elvis than you know in your little pinky. How dare you say I am NOT an Elvis fan!!! How much do you actually know about him? You're entitled to your opinion but your use of profanity shows me your mentality level, which is uhhhhh...maybe ZERO!!!!!

  • Brenda 7797,your the coolest..and you know more about Elvis than me!!Amazing,see ya old timer..

  • I checked out Liberty Mounten - I don't think he can hold a candle to Doug Chruch, Doug is spot on

  • He won`t get far - he sounds too much like that other singer Elvis Presley

  • Doug is a really nice guy. Also check out Johnny Reel. He and Doug did "Just Pretend" as a duet last time Doug was in Norway. I have uploaded my film clip of it here on youtube.

  • love it.....i'm an eta and i think doug does a fantastic job. check out my vids Anthony Shore

  • It has been conclusively proven that Liberty Mounten is the world's greatest Elvis impersonator. Whilst Doug Church (whom I have heard of)is a very satisfactory Elvis performer, he is at best slightly above average.

    Very best wishes to you all.

    Doug Church FEARS Liberty Mounten.

  • i dont fink so mate

    i checked out this liberty dude, he sucks compared to doug

  • agreed....as an ELVIS fan for over 30 years and a fair impersonator of his voice Douch Church by far is the best I've heard. There's more to doing "Elvis" than just sounding like him....the inflections in his songs have to match as well...something I'm better at than his actual voice sound but I get accused of lip syncing all the time because my inflection is right. Doug Church has both going for him....awesome.

  • Bull.

  • He does a good job. :-)

  • doing other songs with a supposed elvis voice u suck bad iea die bitch

  • This dude is good

  • I can do Elvis. But then again everyone thinks they can.

  • Your life must be complete shit if it's completely based around mimicking somebody who died like 20 something years ago. How pathetic is that? Get a fucking life of your own already. LMFAO!!!

    Seriously though, I feel bad for the whole lot of you. You're just as bad if not worse than those geektards that go to Star Wars and Star Trek conventions dressed up as Spok and darth Vader. LOL!

  • to SIKBALZ-

    Funny how you DIS Elvis fans, yet you're checking out ETA videos. What's with that? We all know that you love these videos. It's also funny how you TRY to bring Elvis fans DOWN to your level by using smelly language. Can you be original? Elvis was! Don't hurt yourself!

  • This is good. Go, Elvis!

  • that was great

  • ryan pelton and sean klush are much better.

  • That your opinion ... but the Opinion from 1.800,000 persons said Martin FONTAINE & Doug CHURCH are the 2 best Elvis Impersonators now in the World.

    Ryan PELTON & Sean KLUSH removed comments when is not say faboulous ...that not correct ...

  • i ama an elvis eta nd this cat is the best love u churchie bobby metcalf syracuse ny flan cake 4eva

  • best form of compliment is immitation, there only making people happy jeeze

  • im sorry but i think everyone who does this should just leave elvis alone and apreciate the songs he really sang not some random people who try to sing like the king

  • If you've ever been to a good show you would think different. It keeps the memory alive and shows the younger crowd what an Elvis show might have been like. My daughter is a fan today because of going to a tribute concert.

  • Very Good Video !

    You are welcome in my Doug CHURCH videos too.

    Have a good night !

  • i love this song i wish i could find it somewhere!

  • best Elvis impersonator was Andy Kauffman

  • The Best Elvis Impersonators in the world now are Martin FONTAINE from Quebec / CANADA & Doug CHURCH for the 70s and have the Elvis voice.

    Welcome in my videos

    Steph

  • Not forgetting myself Doug Chapel babe !

    I will be touring soon folks so keep an eye out.

    I am also hoping to set up a myspace site shortly.

    Thanks for your patience - It`s been a while .

  • I guess ok

  • Excellent performance.You need a bit better editing to show you at your best.

  • Thanks,and Mr.Church's voice is awfully close to the original.Elvis will always be the king.Nuff Said.

  • I go to see in Concert Doug CHURCH this weekend.

    Lake GEORGE (NY) U.S.A.

  • I played the sound for someone [no video] and they thought it was really Elvis. Good job.
