I can actually remember Elvis from "Milk Cow Blues" and "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" days. This is first song I have heard by Shawn and I must say this young man is not just good; he is fantastic!! Incredible Elvis look alike and equally incredible strong Elvis vocals!!
to be Elvis, but the entire room is in awe of him, like he is parallel to Elvis. He captivates with or without the jumpsuit.I heard someone tell him "if you trim down, you could be the next Elvis!" I couldn't agree more...
Shawn is awesome, I met him in 2001 or 2002 in Myrtle Beach when I was living with Rick Alviti an Elvis tribute artist. Rick said Shawn would never make it, but wow he is the best and I go to see a lot of Elvis tribute shows. If you can only go see one elvis tribute artist skip Eddie Miles, Rick Alviti, and Lou Vito and go to Shawn's show and you will see why he has won so many awards.
If your going to put shawn klush below your etas! then i would disagree ..shawn still has the overall package! better any ETa to date! if your going to compare whos the best voice
its yannos80 look him up! he blows everyone away and hes not even a pro..so there eddie miles doug church..whatever!..thumbs down..
Yes I know Shawn can hit some very flat notes, and often his voice lacks the purity of Elvis - he belts out the words. Elvis hugged them, gave soul and deptyh to them. I know this debate is getting tedious, but Klush is better than Trent, but Eddie Miles still holds the ETA crown
I must agree. There is a quality in Klush that is seemingly the same, and I must concede that the gestures, while astutely studied, have lost their starched freshness. Why? Because Klush urgently needs to explore other corners of Elvis. At present, he's facing the late 70's with no signs of a pulse outside that region.
Listen, I have played, and still play with, these guys - as in Doug,Icenhower, Shawn, etc. I've said it before and I'll say it again: there about seven Bests, not a singular "best", and I can say quite confidently that while I love Shawn to bits, I personally would rank him 3, which is a compliment. Competitions have been around for years; it's just that the latest is a world first.
Hi vanza..am curious who you would rate 1 and 2. I have only attented the Collingwood Elvis festival...largest in the world outside of Memphis...for about the last ten years. The best ETAs do perform there. And I cannot tell you how many of them were in the top 25 for Memphis. Now, next question...who will be in Memphis(thought it was a one time event)this year? A lot of the professionals do not compete. Stephen Kabakos is my fav...won Images if the King in 2001..I think..byeeee
I think you got that backwards. Why don't you spend you energy on doing something positive for Doug since you are a big fan instead of slamming Shawn. I'm sure people wonder why fans of other ETAs find it neccessary to be rude to Shawn. If you don't like Shawn don't watch his videos.
No, I still dislike the voice and his on-stage antics that replicate Elvis' Qualude-affected speech pattern of the 70's! When perfoming as Elvis, sure...tap into the source, but when talking about Elvis, for God's sake (and ELvis') be Klush!
J.D, James Burton, Charlie Hodge have said it countless times: Eddie Miles is superior! Check him out singing a duet with Charlie Hodge- he's pitch-perfect, faultless! He also looks more like Elvis around the eyes, nose, cheekbones! I challenge anyone to fault his duet!
There can only be one Elvis, however these guys are paying tribute to Elvis because they are Elvis fans themselves. However some ETAs need to leave Elvis on stage and get back to themselves as some take it too far!! lol....Shawn Klush I must say is top in his game!
you guys at the bottom of my comments are both ediots..there is a place for eta and i belive shawn klush will be the greatest tribute artist of all time..i know there only one king u ediots..its all about keeping elvis alive..not being elvis dumb heads!
Yeah, listen to the real king. He blows all impersonators out of the water. Elvis had more talent in his little finger than these copies. Just play "Aloha From Hawaii", "That's The Way It Is", "Elvis On Tour". Let's remember there's only one king. Impersonators have a place, but don't built them up to something they aren't. And Elvis, they aren't.
I hate when people say no body sounds like elvis......(EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT)Being a tribute artist is all about keeping elvis alive and coming the closest you can to the king himself.
Hey the Purpleharpoon, we know that, but we try to find the spirit of Elvis in other places too. Guys like Shawn keeps alive to Elvis in the real world
I know, but you'd think that the guy who won the accolade of the world's best ETA would sound a little closer than Mr. Klush.
What I hate is when people come on YouTube and make out they can't tell the difference, when it's blatantly obvious that what they are hearing is NOT Elvis.
The Purple Harpoon....if you haven't seen Shawn Klush perform live, then you don't know what it is that people are talking about. Hope you get the chance soon.
nobody can replace Elvis, but shawn does a great illusion , nobody has the look and voice right, they either have one or the other, sometimes neither! I certainly rate Klush in the top two or three world wide and hope we can lose the bottom enders who do elvis no favours with their poor imitation.
I just saw him twice in London. I really enjoyed his shows...I totally got hooked on him. he is really great! i'll try to put my video as soon as possible to youtube!
I've seen both Martin and Shawn live. Shawn is the better tribute artists, hands down in my opinion. We all have our own favorites for our own reasons though and to be able to do what these guys can do and have the talent they have is a blessing for us all to enjoy.
waw looking at him is like looking at elvis he can immitate elvis to a tee the voice the look the walk the talk everything welll done to him for winning the worlds greatest elvis in the uk tv show keeping the memory alive
anyone good working with video? it would be really neat to see someone combine a video of Elvis with a video of Shawn,side by side.then get people try to guess which is which!!Just a Thought..Ken
goodness gracious,he looks like Elvis..when I saw him in person, I was in shock..I could not believe how much he looked like Elvis..And Im not the only one who feels this way..so does Joe Esposito,J.D. Fontana, and a lot of other people who were around Elvis.From all the Elvis impersonators, the people who knew Elvis,choose Shawn as the one most like Elvis..I've read this statement over & over, on several diffrent websites.
Shawn is very good. About the best I have seen. He does need to work on his vocals.
Doesnt sound like Elvis at times as much as he should.
