Robert WASHINGTON / Elvis PRESLEY (Elvis Festival Winner)

[PamsBigWorld2]

WoW..awesome voice, I have been listening to Robert Washington's version of Let it be me, and being that this is my all time favorite Elvis song, and I absolutely love the way Elvis sings it, in this video I would of thought this was Elvis singing this song. I have heard a few different Elvis tribute artists and his voice is on key..wonderful, cant wait to see him at the Portage Indiana Elvis fest 2011

[allisonthecat]

Awesome job Robert I love this song one of my all time favorites in the slow Elvis lover songs category in fact!!!

[DianRay2]

Check our Justin Shandor on our channel. He won the 2010 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis. Elvis Forever!

[elvisfantastic]

fantastic

[steveoo12]

he is miming LOL with elvis that is why

[TKSKS]

@steveoo12 LOL....no wonder! 

[MrsPresleyLennonFrey]

Hey, hey, hey, a lovely voice indeed! Robert has a lovely tone in his voice, which is missing from most Elvis tribute artists/impersonators I've heard.

Rock on, Robert!

[martind586]

Most Elvis Impersonators vote Robert the Best sounding Elvis!

I hear he was born on August 16th -

[oshanalive]

Prob the best Ive heard, man, you got it.

[galacu]

What incredible voice !!!!!

[oshanalive]

Many blessings, nice.

[ETAERocK]

Robert is not just an Awesome ETA, He's a great friend, and one of the most respected guys in the business! It's an honor to be his friend. And a privilege to dress him in some cool as shirts.

[MuskokaGem]

What a fantastic voice this guy has! He is amazing!!!

[molina1957]

this guy is good keep it up

[Elvisfan2001]

I've known Robert for years and he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. A great voice and a very nice man!

[elvislilsis]

hi Robert....met you when we performed at Peabody Sun records show....

remember i did original song

MY BABY THINKS HE'S ELVIS

keep rock there my ElvisBro

[jelm81]

rock on man!! keep doing elvis, don't listen to the "charlie pride" bull.

[sloofuss]

He should do Charley Pride,not Elvis. good singing voice though.

[wildhorsestudios1421]

Great voice but drop the jumpsuits.

[Freddyb881]

Give credit where it is due..Robert has a very clear and great sounding voice..Being an ETA myself I have heard hundreds of ETA's and Roberts voice is in the top 5% of all that I have heard..He is very good!

[kytigerman48]

great job robert, love the rendition and its a good song.

[Stealth877]

Very good

[grammydar2]

You were absolutely WONDERFUL at the Michigan Elvis Fest 2008....keep up the great work,I hope you are there next year....you look SEXY...thanks for the great work

[debwire]

Excellent as usual. Robert...this is Deb (originally from Maine and knew you well for many years). Please contact me if you see this comment. I'm in Florida now. Hope all is well!

[kebekdisk]

Good voice, much better than KLUSH but sorry my friend, Doug CHURCH are the only one with the Real Elvis voice now (PERIOD)

[confederateoutl]

I have to agree, Dough Church sounds more like Elvis than REobert, but dont get me wrong Robert is good...very good.

[mrslaughinghouse]

He definitely sounds the part. It's funny that he was not considered to be a winner because of his color when 99% of Elvis was what he saw in his darker complection brothers (smile). He would sneak to the Pentecostal churches growing up in Tupelo and surrounded himself with African American background singers (i.e. Whitney Houston's mom was a long standing background singer). Either way, talent should be color-blind!

[kebekdisk]

knittingbluelady : Sorry my friend, the 2 Best Elvis Impersonators are Doug CHURCH & Martin FONTAINE from Quebec/CANADA.

Take a look here in youtube. Doug are the only one in 2008 with the real Elvis voice. Martin FONTAINE are INCREDIBLE !!

More 1,800,000 persons saw FONTAINE, SOLD-OUT everytime.

[knittingbluelady]

Robert is the BEST impersonator, I've seen.. he warm, so very nice, happy to autograph anything for you. he take pictures with you, and he even sing a little for you. I dearly love him, and look forward to seeing him all the time.

[Buckeyecat2002]

Wow, absolutely amazing.

[trueelvisfan]

I just want to say CONGRATS!!! on winning!!! You are amazing...I saw this individual on ALMOST ELVIS and they doubted he would ever win because of his skin color...YOU DID IT!!!!YEAH!!!

[sarahd7263]

Robert is the best ETA by far!!! No doubt about it. Can't wait to see him in Portage this year!!!

[kebekdisk]

sarahd7263 : Sorry Sarah, the 2 Best Elvis Impersonators are Doug CHURCH & Martin FONTAINE from Quebec/CANADA.

[melanieg1010]

Robert gas a nice voice. Doug church (The voice of Elvis)is amazing. He was in our competition and we all had lunch. Very nice guy, too. I've seen Martin Fontaine who, in my opinion is incredible but more of an illusionist. I recently saw Shawn Klush and HE really blew me away...It was almost scary....amazing!

[veritesurcesite]

melanieg1010 : I`m agree, but the Best is

MARTIN FONTAINE from CANADA.

[sarahd7263]

I will give Church credit he is good, the other one I have not seen. But nothing will eveer change my mind regarding Robert!!! I have fooled people with Roberts cds, they thought it was elvis singing.

[knittingbluelady]

I agree, can't wait for Portage either..It's my Birthday weekend, and I love it.

[johndeerishere]

The best voice impersonation I've heard

yet.

[PHILU02]

I am not at all, my wife is black, but Elvis was white

[chaz681]

I agree. Man has an awesome voice but it kind of reminds me of Will Smith playing James West. Will, by the way, I think is a very talented guy as well. But some roles just don't work for some people. That said. I'd like to see Robert. I could listen to that voice all day.

[PHILU02]

Very well said, he does sound great though.

[PHILU02]

very very nice, too bad he is black

[onlythetruth1]

PHILU02 : You're RACIST.

[elvislover63]

Elvis is truly happy with you Robert. You are the best, next to Elvis of course. Keep up the good work. cannot wait to see you again. ramona (elvislover63

[tcb5000]

Great! I love this version...

[THESoulPimp]

OK, we just saw him live for the first time today (Olympia). By far, he has the best voice of any Elvis Impersonator we've ever seen/heard live (and we have seen many live all around the country). He sure blows away Danny Vernon, the NW's so called best 'Young Elvis'. I wish Robert would perform at the Red Wind Casino instead of Danny Vernon.

Amazing Voice, just Amazing....

[kebekdisk]

Great voice, yes, but the Best Elvis voice now are Doug CHURH. Look my videos, ex: Doug CHURCH Sheppard Park. Close your eyes ... Perfect + Perfect = Perfect

[lizbethtrang]

AWesome voice....huh...such a wonderful voice!!!!

[rapine33]

This man is amazing. AMAZI?NG!!! I am not going to ever miss a show by this guy. count me in Olympia 4 Elvis Birthday Bash with him performing. I hope I can meet him before or after the show.Martin Luther King weekend? right Ferity? I want to get tix iwth you and Serine. We'll show Olympia some fun.

[serine86]

If Elvis came back he'd want to be Robert Washington singing Elvis. This guy oozes sexy = I'm taking all my friends to Olympia for Elvis Birthday Bash on MLK weekend to see Robert close up and personal. Can you go? There are 8 of us from LA coming up. Let me know and will get tix.

[Ferity8]

Thanks Dooley for sending this. Where can I see this guy?????? Olympia? Each January?!! I'm booking my ticket right now. Elvis is back and Black. And Better!!!

[dooly9328]

This guy is too great; wonderful voice even if he didn't sound exactly like Elvis; sexy, cute; Omigod

[skibfisher]

great voice

[untypicalmale4u]

Awesome voice, has the soul and heart in it that so many Elvis impersonaters fail to caputure. Way to go Robert! The band sounds great too, powerful backing to a great voice. Rest in Peace, Elvis!

[kebekdisk]

Martin FONTAINE from Quebec/CANADA & Doug CHURCH are the 2 Best Elvis PRESLEY Impersonators in the World. Welcome inside my videos for see that.

[livinghavingfun]

omg omg omg..................this man is AWESOME and very HOT if I don't say so myself! I missed portage this year but God willing I will definitely be there next year. Keep up the GREAT singing Robert you are truly an AWESOME performer and a GREAT person.

[sndmn666666]

Awesome rendition of a beautiful song!

[emeraldelvis]

ps keep up the great job robert, looking forward to seeing you again in europe soon man.

[emeraldelvis]

hey k4lypso, robert dont need your comments man, he is much beloved by all of us in the E.T.A. world, mooves and voice robert is way up there.

but hey, lets see you post a video of yourself? and i know doug church very well and i know doug is good friends with robert, dont think doug would agree with all youve blurted.

shame on you and your racism, thats the great thing about elvis, his music is enjoyed by all.

i agree with you dwight, this guys an ass.

[mlgraphic1]

wow sounds EXACTLY like elvis

[EJfan2007]

this is for k4lypso2 My name is Dwight Icenhower I am one of Roberts good friends. Why dont you have a little class and refrain from saying stupid shit about a very talented man! Keep that shit to yourself. You are a stupid ass.......

[mailbu1998]

He is wonderful, a great man and a great Elvis impersonator...I have had the pleasure of watching him perform live...

[henoor]

Best I've ever heard too. I'd like to hear more of him!

[mailbu1998]

He is the best Elvis impersonator I have seen

[MauriceFromFrance]

good song good voice, I enjoyed it

[elvisIDLE]

im an elvis impersonator myself for past 8years,and always look and admire good elvis like you robert,love that song, you performed it excelent,anthony

[tlmite]

Doesn't look like Elvis... but sounds just like Elvis!!!

Awesome powerful voice (probably the best I've heard).

[oru15]

Robert...your awesome man! Keep doing what you do!

[k4lypso2]

great voice... not quite like doug church but pretty good , and he's been in the oven to long

[oru15]

Have a little class! You should keep comments like that to yourself! Robert has one of the best Elvis voices out there and probably the nicest guy you'll ever meet! I'm ashamed for to have made a comment like that!

[dkor01]

Met Robert in New York. Great guy. He should have been in the ultimate Elvis show. The other guy could find a note if he was given a road map. A shame. Keep it up Robert - El would be pleased by what you do.

[oru15]

What other guy?

[MsJudo]

Robert you are awesome. Keep up the good work and will be watching for more videos. Every show I see gets better and better. Sorry to say I might miss the Balloon Festival. Is there a way that I can get a copy of this video? Please??? I am new to youtube and don't know all the ins and outs yet. Luv Ya.

[lailagordon]

Robert is AWESOME with a God given talent. Just see him in person! Of course he dances well, just compare one song of an Elvis video to see that Robert has it down to a T. Not talking with fans? Who are you Kebekdisk & where did you learn English, Mr. Washington "are warmful". He always stays after a show for conversations, photo shoots, etc. for anyone. He is THE BEST!!! If the damn keyboard would let me, the video would be an honest 5 star rating. Keep it up Rob - we love you!

[kebekdisk]

I do my best in English, because here in Quebec we speak French.

[melodicplayer]

wow, I'd love to see both this guy and Doug Church together in concert. This guy's got the E voice down pat! Phenom!!!!!!!!!

[monsit1]

I think that he is the most gorgeous Elvis imitator that I have ever met or seen and I have seen a great deal of them. He sings wonderfully, has a gifted voice and truly does Elvis an honor with his singing. God bless you Robert. I love ya!!! Ramona

[bri6760]

Poor Robert,he does not get his due..he has been around for a while,he loves Elvis,sound just like him, and thats what it is about..he is fantastic!!!

[monsit1]

I will certainly agree with this one. He should be more known and admired. If it was not for my cats, I would never have known about him (Long Story).. He's the best...

[roseinmaine]

i am from maine roberts home state i have gone to many of his shows he has perfomed for the the people i care for yes it is really his voice not a recording i as a true elvis fan havent seen many impersonators i think are any good but robert i think is great so listen and enjoy congrats robert rose from auburn maine

[itsreallymelaurie]

I know for a FACT that is ROBERT WASHINGTON singing NOT ELVIS!!!!

[tk3302]

no no thats elvis's voice not that dude's....

[DE0072]

No tk, that is Robert Washington singing. He has NEVER used a track to perform to. That's the reason he is one the most respected ETA's in the business; because he sounds almost just like Elvis. Go to one of his show's if you want proof.

[itsreallymelaurie]

I love it...Robert is the best and no one can ever compare to him,except the king himself

[kebekdisk]

Robert are good, but Martin FONTAINE from Quebec/CANADA & Doug CHURCH are the Best Elvis Impersonator's now in the World.

Try Martin FONTAINE inside the search here, checking all videos ... and check my Doug CHURCH videos too.

Have a good night !

[tcbwflsh]

I could not agree with you more, but let us not forget the judging criteria for any impersonator/ETA contest.

[tcbwflsh]

Prince, I'm being nice. I just wonder what the reaction of the crowd would be if I walked out at a Tupuc tribute show?

[ukfirebird]

wow. this bloke is bloody excellent, the best ive ever heard, his tone is absolutley spot on. just shut your eyes and listen

[tcbwflsh]

I think next week I'm going to try out for the "James Brown" tribute contest.

[rstandmartin]

Not very Good - Sorry I would not waste my money on KARAOKE

[darlindarlin2000]

Yummy~
