true true shawn klosh is better and looks better but Justin Shandor has the vocal down and the moves,check him out,he very definately is the best all round Elvis without a doubt.Steve Sogura also is one of the best both in my opinnion are better the carlini especially when carlini say he's better than Elvis himself carlini is ok but the ones i have mentioned here have more boasting rights.
will check him out thanks... I just found Nathan belt on youtube from another user... he sounds pretty good vocally as well. Listen to his how great though art... I was impressed.
OH G0d that guitar playing was awful! Leave it to the musicians ,or learn to play a few licks to blend in with the band. When he played guitar in Vegas I was cringing & feeling really bad for him.
Look-everyone makes mistakes and sometimes we all get a little cocky and arrogant over things in life and that's exactly what he did-he got a little too cocky and arrogant-but-you also mistook or misunderstood what he was saying-we all have big dreams-and whom wouldn't want to be Elvis-look at everything he had-The World In The Palm Of His Hand. Trent does too-but by being good at what he does,not being better than Elvis. There is always room for Self Improvement.
I agree elvisinterloper! He looks so coked-up and out of it. People are walking out on him, and I know of two Elvis fan clubs that WON'T go to his shows - ever! He's only about 4 foot three or whatever, wears a wig and his voice sucks people!
calster33: Yes, but Elvis, even in his declining years, would not approve of Trent Carlini saying that he's the "next best King". Elvis was humble, Trent isn't. This factor needs to be accessed, weighed up, etc - otherwise, the idea that Trent is paying tribute begins to be questionable. I think this is the main quibble people (particularly Vegas locals/Elvis fans) have with him!
Let me ask all you "haters" this-You know Elvis didn't judge people-and very rarely did you ever hear him "Hate" on Anyone-so what do you honestly think Elvis would think and say about you all bashing Trent?Someone that is keeping his spirit,his music, and his legacy alive for the legions of fans and he would be very insulted and offended at the things you're all saying and doing about Trent. Trent You Rock!Ignore the "Haters". ELVIS WOULD BE PROUD.
Trent isn't popular because he's too short, he has an air-balloon-sized ego, his voice breaks, he does drugs, and he calls himself the next King. He's a joke in Vegas - I know because I live there!
If you see Trent once and never go again, consider yourself lucky - and cured! If you see him more than once, get your ears examined and your sight repaired. If you see him after these alterations, you might get a mental disability allowance at his next show. Trent sucks like a Hoover!
LOL. Yep, but I think Vegas needs to be a safer distance away from the stench of this miserable act. He's just a talentless nobody swiming with sharkls that are bigger and can bite back.
You know that movie Casino? The scene where all those problems are buried in the desert? Well, Trent belongs there - not in the movie, but in an unmarked grave in the sun-scorched Nevada sands. He is an unremarkable act with the final curtain drawing near. Let us mourn...or maybe not!
To the jealous immature Trent Haters-as I have said and will repeat myself-GROW UP AND ACT YOUR AGE-TRENT IS GREAT-LEAVE HIM ALONE,THE TRENT HATERS ARE ALL JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE HE'S DOING SOMETHING YOU DON'T HAVE THE TALENT OR THE BRAINS TO DO-AND IT IS A JEALOUSY THING WITH YOU HATERS-BUT TRENT COULD CARE LESS WHAT YOU THINK-NOR DO THE OTHER TRENT FANS IN HERE-SO GROW UP,ACT YOUR AGE AND GET A LIFE AND IF YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE-THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL-PERIOD. TRENT YOU ROCK! CALLIE.
If Trent fans could care less about what people think then why do you bother to read comments and reply to them? He should be careful about what he says and be more humble like Elvis. I have seen many great ETA's and they are sincerely only paying tribute to Elvis and know they are not and will never be close to him. Shawn Klush, Gino Monopoli and Brandon Bennett are fine
examples of true Tribute Artists. They are genuine, kind & generous people. There is ONE ELVIS and We all miss him.
I think you're all fucked up, and that's because it's a vent-Trent you tube forum. See, Trent really is a wanker, but you little nuts are debating about a moronic impersonator who every dick knows is a certified loser.
catskillz3: Is that the best you can do... Your not even at my level... Your words are what 3 grader would say... By the way it was your mom backstage and it wasn't trents leg she was humping...
hey lakers803: your mom should know. Didn't she go backstage 19 yrs ago and hump the leg of Mr Trent cuntlini? mmmmmmm, sounds suspiciously like the case. Maybe you can do a duet with your sperm donar.
This guy really is clown-like! My girlfriends and I saw him and he's smaller than my little sister...god, his dick musn't be King size either! LOL. He couldn't hit any big notes...everything about Trent is....well, small.
I got to see Mr. Carlini in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. He did a wonderful job. I'm sorry there's so much negativity towards him. He knows he's not Elvis and he explains that he only wishes to honor Elvis's memory for future generations. Keep it up Trent. You're doing a great job!
"Love you sweet"? O.k, he's messing around, but Trent, get the lyrics right! I've seen his shows and they are just average these days. There are better ETA's, and he knows it. Also, I was shocked how little he was, and how little he resembled Elvis. He also has scars on his face...is this from surgery?????
How can people be confronted, bemused, or curious as to why there is such bad press about Trent? For starters, he called himself the "dream King", then claimed others gave him this corny title. No, not so. Indeed, he looks nothing like Elvis - never has. And no amount of surgery will render him like the King. Forn starters, Trent is small - I mean really small. Also, he's Italian, which is fine, because I am also. But Elvis wasn't and didn't have the eyes that Trent had.
It's Never, I hope. For now, though, I am reminded more of Joe Pesci from Goodfellas tjhan Elvis Presley! I saw him - (just!I thought he was kneeling, but I was told he was the size of a dancing poodle) Poor act...and poor guy!
I saw him in Laughlin at The Riverside in April 2004-and he was great! He knocked my socks off and he's got it down! I think he's hot! not to mention he is very:sweet,polite, charming,funny, and sexy-and yes-he is a little arrogant-but to me-that arrogance makes him sexy and don't forget-Elvis could be a bad-boy too when he wanted to be. So Trent-keep rocking and when I see you in April this year-hope to get another scarf and kiss. So keep Rocking-You Rock My World. Callie.
This could be Vinnie from Goodfellas. He looks more like he's going to whack somebody than sing. Aggressive little fella, too. And give the cocain a rest, Trent. Remember me? Tried to hit on me, and I said f!@#k you....or words to that effect. slimeball.
Trent Carlini the dream king? Dream on. For starters, he's too small to be imposing - Elvis, remember, was tall. Elvis was humble, Carlini isn't. Also Carlini relies too much on back-up singers. And there are BETTER Tribute artists. Try Eddie Miles and Gabe Phoenix!
Saw the show,& with the stage presence,size was not even noticeable.The background singers & band covering for him ,not singing that well was really obvious.They outshone him on many occasions.He did a bad attempt at playing the guitar that made me cringe!
When I wrote that reply 5 months ago I had just seen him in Vegas and was impressed with his show. But after seeing him on TNBT and hearing his egotistical comments I'm no longer a fan.
This has no emotion, it's a love song, if this guy said he was better than Elvis I suggest he gets singing lessons that ending was 10% as good as Elvis ending which is almost operatic.
I have got a reasonable voice, can do a lot of Elvis songs but never try to pretend I am him,I have been appalauded for my interpretations, but I can say one thing that end note by Elvis is one bitch to try and emulate, and this guy has not got it.
Carlini said he was better than Elvis on The Next Best Thing. That was a big turn off for many true Elvis fans. And as far as impersonators go, Brandon Bennett is FAR better and the best I've seen. Brandon matches Elvis's dancing almost perfectly. But let's not forget, NOBODY, can sing like Elvis. NOBODY.
I think that comment was misunderstood.He says he has to be better than Elvis; menacing striving to be better.That way he can try to at least come close.
But he could not carry the whole 90 minute show with the energy of Elvis.His vocals came in & out.His ending "My Way",was so bad.The background girls came in to finish it for him.
Trent Carlini is the best Elvis tribute artist I've seen. I saw him at the Sahara in Vegas and he was incredible! He has all of Elvis' moves, mannerisms and even the bedroom eyes down perfectly! It was a wonderful tribute to Elvis and made my heart skip a beat!I never got to see Elvis in person so Trent was like seeing the next best thing. Watch for Trent on ABC's The Next Best Thing, Wednesday's at 8:00pm. Good luck in Texas and on the Next Best Thing Trent! Love from your new fan. L.A.
Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure if i can get abc over here in England but i'll defo check! I hav a couple other vids of trent u may be interestd in watching, check'm out.

There was an ETA hailed the "Dream King",
he couldn't dance, he couldn't sing.
His voice would break like the lightest twig: at 4 foot 2 he wasn't big!
He wore a wig and claimed the throne,
can you believe - this mindless drone!
He went in comps but was turned to mush
