  • i love this entertainer

    the very Best Ever

  • É a melhor interpretação, com certeza. E o mais lindo intérprete!

    Mr. Engel, obrigada pela beleza, romantismo e poesia que proporcionou e ainda proporciana ao mundo!

  • I was a lot thinner when I played guitar on this. Would love to know what happened to drummer Chris Parlato who also is playing on this clip.

  • that lady was paid to say that wow he looks like a woman and drag queen

  • Elvis was the ultimate performer , out did anyone who followed him..Bert was a 1970's karaoke queen ..he was in AWE of elvis and still is to this day ..34 years after Elvis died we are still talking about him..the power of Presley .

  • Enge is singing this song better than Elvis

  • what's that hair? What's that costume? This man seems like AN OLD STRIPPER IN A GAY NIGHTCLUB!

  • I have lately discovered Engelbert's music and he is a very underrated artist. I like this performance he proves the rate of his voice. Great song!

  • Wow, what a finish. Great guy, great voice, love him so.

  • The trilogy was amazing !! He is amazing!!

  • Engelbert is the best,he’s like the vine,he continue working hard and making happy

    a lot of people arround the word,God bless him.

  • ELVIS IS THE KING ENGELBERT IS STILL SINGING

  • CONRADO-BRASIL - I PREFER AMERICAN TRILOGY-DIXIELAND VERSION.

  • This man is a faggot with shoes on.... Elvis was insanely more charismatic ....

  • luvmybally, sounds like you love Engledick's ballies.  By the way -- his real name is Arnold Dorsey. He just ripped that stupid name off from the Austrian composer who wrote "Hansel & Gretel." FYI, blowing this fraud after his show every night, does not constitute "working for him"... except in your twisted world.

  • sory but elvis he is the big

    a canção é linda mas na voz do elvis é tudooooooooooooo

    concordo com

    letloverule77

  • Het is niet dezelfde als van Elvis,maar niet minder mooi !!!!

  • hahahahaha he is so funny, he seems to really love life and what he do, he adores Elvis and Tom Jones...

  • FANTASTIC!!!

    GREAT SONG !!!

    BY THE BEST SINGER !!!

  • Maybe if both Engelbert and Elvis fans did a little reading, they fed off eachother... We're great friends, and sang eachothers songs.. Elvis went to Engelbert Concerts and vice versa.. Engelbert grew the big chops then Elvis did.. I love both singers so why act like children and say one is better than the other, both made their mark in the music world...

  • Absolutely brilliant, there is no comparison between this version and that of Elvis's just two Great singers paying homage to the United States, does anyone know who sings the original song that Englebert uses as the first part of this trilogy, I think the song is Genesis, for the first book of the bible.

  • wannabe elvis! even the way he moves his hands

  • i worked for the man and i can tell you elvis couldnt shine his shoes his fan club is the largest in the world elvis used to go see him to learn how to work a vegas crowd and elvis range wasnt even half of engelberts.engelbert hits noyrs a bank couldnt cash.

  • @cChmanderZz let me tell you i worked for this man for over 10 years elvis used to go see him to learn how to work a veags crowd.elvis didnt have half the range this man does.and he stole the sideburns from enge not the other way around.like enge always told elvis.i can hit notes a bank cant cash 3and 1 half octaves.elvis was just a hick with a mediocre voice.and engelbert kicked his ass in a karate competion not once but three times in vegas.

  • @cChmanderZz let me tell you i worked for this man for over 10 years elvis used to go see him to learn how to work a veags crowd.elvis didnt have half the range this man does.and he stole the sideburns from enge not the other way around.like enge always told elvis.i can hit notes a bank cant cash 3and 1 half octaves.elvis was just a hick with a mediocre voice.and engelbert kicked his ass in a karate competion not once but three times in vegas. his fan club is the largest in the world always was.

  • @luvmybally I wasn't sure if I had ever heard or met the stupidest human being in the world, Thank you...

    Check... Next on my list....

  • @luvmybally liar Elvis had sideburns back in the 50s and even in his teens it came off when he went into the army. He Elvis started growing them back again by that time Enge n Tom Jones had them as well! Enge is a great man and a great singer. Elvis luved and respected both him and Tom Jones! :) crazy world!

  • I watched it because I love Elves's American Trilogy. During the intro, I thought "oh wow! Did Humperdinck put it together". But then the downer.

  • Tom Jones and Engelbert followed Elvis' steps and even they admitted it...no shame about it...Elvis was so influential...

  • What's not to love about this entertainer?

  • ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK ,sem dúvida é o maior cantor do MILLENIO !!!!! Os outros ,são os outros...!!!!!!

  • I cannot believe he's wearing his hair like that WTF was he thinking.

  • No offense but I can't believe how much I hate this version. What were Tom Jones and Engelbert thinking? Does anyone notice how he starts shouting to the orchestra at the exact same part of the song that Elvis did in the Aloha Special?? Can't be coincidence. He must have memorized Elvis's performance. I hate this version and I really dislike his voice in it. He and Tom copied Elvis by singing this song and they clearly wanted to outdo him. Really bad stuff.

  • @natemini but it's in human nature bud michael jackson also wanted to outdo Elvis! Elvis is the man to outdo got it?! :)

  • No no no ELVIS = Incomparbles!!!

  • Each person has their own opinionbut, you don't have to be nasty about it. You like who you like but the fact is Humperdinck is the best.

  • @Dakidmrcrazy the "fact" is?? kind of dumb thing to say while trying to be so profound.

  • Engelber es tal lindo, con una voz tan privilegiada, que todas las canciones son un bálsamo al oído y a la vista, Que Dios le de muchos mas años de vida.

  • vera-Brasil--Esta é a melhor e maior interpretação da AMERICAN TRILOGY..Pena que ENGELBERT não regravou nos dias atuais.!!!!

  • Yes, please check out Mickey Newbury's version

  • this is not the same song American Trilogy, as the one Elvis Presley sings.

  • @letloverule77 This is "a Trilogy" that Engelbert put together for his graditude towards the uniyed states and their fans.

    Eric

  • Looks like he's wearing Marge Simpson's wig.

  • @jimincairns He also looks like he's wearing a very sweaty pair of pyjamas :O

  • I can still hear Archie Bunker say"Englebert What's his Dink" lol

  • How come this .... has more views than Mickey Newburys´s real "American trilogy"? The world is not only unfair, it has bad taste too.

  • he looks ridiculous lllllllloooooooooooollllllll

  • Elvis IS the King.. No one will come close, especially with this song. No one sings it like Elvis

  • Fantastique,le meilleur comme toujours.

    merciiiiii

    Monique

  • Enge is a wonderful singer with a fabulous career spanning over 40 years. When you talk about Superstars, it was Sinatra, Elvis, and the Beatles...They had thst extra "WOW FACTOR" By the way, Enge is a old friend of mine who has so much class & integrity he invited my wife and I to a concert in Scottsdale in 2006. He's a wonderful human whom I admire igreatly. He's a truly star, but not one of the three..

  • Damn can t we all just get along ? lol ok Elvis put the Trilogy together. Engle, ( Jerry ) took it as his own. Big damn deal. He s an entertainer and a good one. Why do people want to say such terrible caustic comments? Could it be insecurity on they re part? mmm I think it is.

  • starr522, Elvis's version is probably the best, and the best known, but it was the late Mickey Newbury who put it together. Check him out on YT. I think you'll like him.

  • @starr522 Incorrect; the trilogy was first written and performed by the late Mickey Newbury. More than five hundred artists have recorded the songs he wrote.

  • Maybe he is a good singer, but he doesn't sing it like Elvis. Elvis is the one and only king!

  • Enge is the best singer in the world. He sings this with great passion and meaning. Whatever anyone else says Enge is the best. Always has been the best and always will be the best.

    Tom Jones, PJ Proby, Elvis have nothing on Enge. So accept it and move on. Enge is the man and a gentleman too. And \I am very proud to be a true fan of Enge's for the past 42 years. And no he

    s not an American. He's British. So what. He's still the best singer there ever will be.

  • I totally agree with you. The others are very good, but Enge is the best. This performance is awesome. Nobody can do it.

  • Not good.

  • he isnt even american

  • Whats an American?

  • he is a big fake why is he ruining these songs he is crap

  • well said. he is shite...

  • At first I gave a five stars til he went into American Trilogy...I'm sorry but he and Tom Jones cannot do American Trilogy...that is strictly Elvis' song...HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THAT SONG JUSTICE!

  • he looks like an older Bobby Brady

  • Engelbert at the early 80's was much better than in the late 60's. A better singer, a bigger artist, a more experienced showman...nobody like this Enge.

  • Elvis copied Enge's style and look. Nobody can sing this trilogy as Engelbert, because he sings any song better than any other.

  • ABSOLUTE GARBAGE,

    he murders this song, check out a real singer...

    PJ PROBY...THE BEST SINGER EVER,

  • right--just keep on watching

    the ones you are supposed to be

    so offended by.

  • If your talking murder your man PJ PROBY aught to be charged for 1st degree on 3 counts.

    1. Never walk alone.

    2. Hold me

    3. What's wrong with my world!

    Truly brutal and unprovoked slayings.

  • LMAO...AT YOU YA PUSSY.

    YOUR FUCKIN DEAF binnionear HA HA

    THIS CLOWNS A WANNABE TOM JONES LOL

  • Your right I am deaf and still PJ PROBY managed to assault my hearing.

  • fuckin silly cunt,

  • HAHAHAAAA......Your nothing but a fat cocksucker in disguise!!! A fucking wannabe!! You were dropped on your head at birth and its no wonder! When the doctor saw how fucked up you were he thought your mother had taken a shit!!!. You fucking wish you had a fraction of Engelbert's talent. Kill yourself!

  • What a powerful voice and performance. He truly stands in a class all by himself. The emotion, the feeling from his heart and soul comes through. Just love, love this man .  Elvis would have been proud ! Both of them very very special. You wont see the likes of them again. And Engelbert still belting them out today. Just the best.

  • well i am an elvis fan and i know that elvis would probably not appreciate all the criticism of his friend engelbert.who cares who sang it better. engelbert probably meant it as a tribute to elvis anyway

  • No one sings it better than the writer himself....Mickey Newbury

  • Just Great!!! Thanks for posting

  • These other guys were only going through the motions. Their heart and soul wasn't really in it. I mean Elvis sang it like he really MEANT it. Elvis sang this song best no doubt about it.

  • elvis impersonaters look and sound better....this dude is aweful....

  • could you do it ya twat

    leave your stupid comments out.

    he is not trying to be like elvis no one could do that.oh and by the way him and elvis were good pal"s.

  • this is the most assinine statement

    I ever saw a human being make.

    If it is so AWFUL why did you watch it.

  • LMAO....

  • The poor man's Tom Jones.

  • jones is and was ugly as sin

  • I listened to elvis version and tom jones's version... thought, i try enges version aswell.....

    This is terrible... i do like the younger engelbert ... but this to say the least not so good.

    Like tom jones the best!!! Try it!!!

  • magnifique fantastique merci merci

  • honestly, i had heard of engelbert humperdink, thought he was a fictional person...come on, the name is crazy in itself...i will be wikipedian him to know more, but even without that, he could never top elvis in this song..nobody could, but its not bad...style, good looks, body and fashion, but nobody should ever try to do an elvis song with their own style...its like trying to impersonate the pope!!!!

  • real name gerry dorsey. nice voice.. but elvis the king..

  • Eh is more of the Tom Jones type of singer. If anyone knows music, they can hear the difference in styles. Call me crazy, but I am a fan of Engelbert and Elvis. They both have giVen so much to the world of music. KEEP GOING ENGELBERT AND THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, ELVIS!!!!!

  • I have been an Elvis fan since the fifties when he truly was the pioneer of rock & roll, there can never be another Elvis, he was a great entertainer and showman. In the late sixties along came Englebert, you cannot even compare these two great talents, Elvis and Englebert are so dfferent, Elvis had the flambouyant rock and roll style we all loved, Engelbert 's is more intimate, romanic and has more depth and feeling . Elvis was wonderfull, Engelbert is magnificent and still going strong.

  • nobody can beat elvis...! ELVIS IS UNIQUE...!

  • Interessante

  • "Glorrrrrry ... TALK TO ME .. Halelua.."

    Standing Ovation at the end too.

  • Magnifique! I was there!

  • also, Mr Sinatra happened to steal "Strangers in the Night" from Engelbert, true story.. The law is you can record ANY song and the publishers have to let you, it's called a mechanical license.. People sing eachothers songs all the time, so stop hatin. Watch your language too!!

  • I think both Elvis and Engelbert would have a laugh that you people are arguing.. They were good friends and went to eachothers concerts.. Jealousy is the true emotion to all these Engelbert haters.. All that matters to me is they're both excellent, i like them both very much, and are not ashamed to sing and show publicly their love for God.. But...If you think Engelbert is a copycat for singing songs that weren't written by Elvis, the king sang Engelberts hits in concert many times.

  • ...but I like the way he sings.

  • one word... CONCEITED

  • Ohhh..Thank You very much10000000***

  • I happen to love Elvis and Engelbert. Those of you who don't like Engelbert might should consider leaving this video.

  • the woman with the rose... what a farce!!!!

  • WOW!!!...elvises spirit can only look on and admire at the real king of rock and roll....

  • Let's sort this out !! Engelbert has a lot of talent. A great voice, he doesn't wear a wig.

    He also has enough of his own hit's without doing Elvis's.

    Sorry NO ONE can ever ever cover American trilogy after Elvis !

  • After Elvis he should give it up, not even close. It sucks

  • elvis couldnt kiss his ass

  • väga hea---forever.

  • Mickey Newbury and Elvis would be spinning in their graves...

  • What is the first song he is singing, before America The Beautiful and An American Trilogy?

  • Wow what a douchbag! This guy isn't an Elvis impersonator he's a copycat and disgrace to Elvis!

  • What is a douchbag?

  • nhuxley

  • elvis wish he had humps class voice and talent that fuckin hick

  • The Hoff!!!! No I realise it's Englebert 'Dig Me' Humperdinck. However I didn't realise how shiny plastic can become when it gets wet. Super nice!!!

  • Engelbert is the most caring, sensitive man I have ever known. He sings from his heart and gives so much of himself to his fans. I cannot believe some of these comments. They should be removed.

    His emotion showed in this video and so many other songs. You obviously know nothing about him or his music.

  • Quite right Eno, who needs anyone elses opinion when you clearly know it all!!! Remove all others NOW!!! If you think this guy is the most caring, sensitive man you have ever known, you really do need to get out more, that is very sad. Crumpledick is a good artist but should steer clear of songs already covered by Presley and Elvis' wardrobe too! What was going on there? By the way is the Eno you buy in a bottle also a laxative? Don't reckon it would work as well as you do in that department!!!

  • You dont know quality music man! you dont know art , you know nothing!Dont go to engies site!

  • rey, Coming from an obvious expert in the arts like yourself, that cuts me deeply!!! However I know enough that I won't be visiting 'Engies', Engies, lol you idiot. give me a break!! Do you know the birth name of your conceited hero? Arnold George Dorsey, he took the name EB from a German composer. So you see I know more about art and I dare say many other things than someone who worhips 'Engie', thanks for the laugh you imbecile.

  • we can not go down to your level man! your trying to raise issue you youself dont know!look yourself at the mirror and flush yourself in the toiletbowl!!!Get out of this site!

  • rey, What a wonderful grasp of the English language you have for a cretin, MAN. Who is we? Or is that just a further bastadization of English on your part? As far as reaching my level, well as long as I'm not on yours I'm happy!!! Now settle go and have a lie down and a listen to Engie!!!! You are a tool.

  • stupid , crazy critic like you is wasting our time, once more... flush yourself in the toiletbowl!!!!!!! Dont come -back!

  • Is this the best you can bring to the table? I might be crazy but you seem obsessed with toiletbowls, hardly suprising really. Anyway MAN you are borning me now so I won't be responding any further to your bullshit. Merry Christmas.

  • you are a cretin. Period.

  • Very good! Exclamation point!

  • Is this Siegfried and Roy?

  • They gave you 4 thumbs down for that brilliant observation mate, I gave you a thumbs up. No sense of humour these people. I thought it was really good.

  • Whats really scary is most of these people aren't even old enough to know who this man is. The 70's were bollocks.

  • Do you really think todays music is any better?

  • fucking great observation, i gave it a thumbs up to try to restore the balance with these clowns that like that Farrah Fawcett hairdo!!

  • I'm just wondering, is its a wig?

  • is there any chance to get this performence

    at the HILTON hotel at Las Vegas by dvd/video ??it miss in my collection

    enric pardo from Barcelona

  • engelbert es de mi decada exelente voz carismatico y muy londo hombre 10 puntos

  • engelbbrert fuckuinfg whuo

  • Elvis was good but Eng takes the top prize. No one has or will ever have the range, tone and just place fabulous voice that EH has. One great looking man too.

  • yeah, thats why Elvis was more sucessful :S lol

  • Does anyone the title of the first song of the Trilogy he sings???? THANKS!!!

  • he is a good singer but Elvis is the greatest of all his version of american trilogy is the best

    i give 6/10 to him and 1000/10 for Elvis

  • amen, this is bollocks lol

  • PRETTY BABY!!!!

  • Oh Lord! The way our Guy sings this Song, feels like crying time all over again. Let's be honest, Engelbert is simply the Best! Take it away!

  • Apart from the BEST voice on this planet our Guy is:- Handsome, Cute, Pretty, Sexy, Romantic, Loving, Gorgeous, etc. Our guy is also Intelligent, Smart, Courteous, Gallant, Respectful, Decent, Sympathetic, Humouristic, etc. Most importantly is that Engelbert can HEAL you, inspire you, calm you, give you courage enz. Whenever I feel a bit down I Just listen and or look at this SPLENDOUR of a guy and then know that God is still with me.

    Engelbert gives us hope... he's just ONE TRUE GENTLEMAN!!

  • MR. ENGELBERT IS NOT CLASS ;

    HE IS THE FIRST-CLASS OF ALL VOICES ROUND THE WORLD !!!!!

    DON´T COMPARE HIM WITH SOMEBODY.

    DON´T TOUCH HIM

    HE IS THE BEST IN PAST, NOW AND FOR EVER

    I am sooooooo happy i can see him in YOU TUBE

    THANKS SO LOT

  • WTF?

  • I love Englebert, hes class, absoloutely brilliant. But comparing him to Elvis, come on, nobody can touch the king!!!

  • Engelbert is just simply: GOD'S  GIFT TO WOMEN!!! Need I say more!!!

  • Comment removed

  • mysteryman6666,

    (1) You probably refer to what EH says in his book on page 185. Only that you're taking things totally out of context. Read the 2-nd part of his statement more carefully: I never acted as I really believed I was the King of Romance. I never took the role too seriously, even though that was what I was now being called. THE ONLY TIME I WAS SERIOUS ON STAGE WAS WHEN I WAS SINGING A SINCERE BALLAD, THEN I WOULD ALLOW MY OWN TRUE INNER FEELINGS TO SHINE THROUGH (capitals mine).

  • mysteryman6666,

    (2) ... But, since EH is a BALLAD singer by excellence, I think he simply DIDNT have too many occasions not to be sincere... Have a closer look at his facial expression and gestures (and then the passion he puts in all of his songs)! Wow, a person's eyes and hands NEVER lie, did you know that?! So, if this is not a sincere man, I dont know who is. In fact, my guess is that he has always been more sincere and serious than ANY one of us could EVER imagine Just read the book.

  • AugustaRomania,

    Powerful comment! I totally agree and bravo!

  • mysteryman6666: Now, do you REALLY believe what you're saying (i.e. "Humpy doesn't take himself too seriously")? Well, "UHHH?", if the AMERICAN TRILOGY is not powerful enough for you, maybe you'd have a look at LOVE IS ALL and so many other EH trademark songs over the years. Honest, didn't you ever consider the possibility of your comment being totally unfair or even ill-willed? I, for instance, feel that, when he sings, he IS giving his EVERYTHING. And I guess I'm not the only one in the club!

  • About mysteryman6666 & alexlxcech

    Enge has both a nice voice and appearance, his repertoire is much more than good, his manners are beyond all expectations. If someone doesn't understand his singing then why to come to his sights? Stay apart from this page. Here are the people who appreciate good music, good singing and without any exaggeration - the GOOD SINGER who is ENGELBERT.

  • elela84,

    (1) I certainly agree with you!!! Why, on earth, those who don't like Engelbert, don't FINALLY learn to write/type somebody else's name after logging in to the YouTube?! For instance, I like very much Elvis Presley, Tom Jones and many others but, since Engelbert is my absolute favourite, I NEVER go to EP's or TJ's site to make comparisons, let alone negative comments. Among CIVILIZED people, silence is golden, you know.I think it's a question of commonsense, after all.

  • like all living things we age and mature! Enge has aged beautifully......by the grace of God! "entertainer" is the key word........

  • im a big fan of presley and think humperdinck is a great singer at 71 his voice is 100 percent why do people slag entainers off i believe there just jelouse i saw humperdink last year it was a great show if these people got on with there own life  instead of putting people down the world would be a better place if u dont like this man dont come to these pages in 1st place

  • HAHA I WAS READING alexlxcech AND THEY SAID

    i only think that engelbert is an imitator of Elvis!!

    Why he sing the triology!!

    I`M A BIG ELVIS FAN WHY DID ELVIS SING RELEASE ME IS HE AN IMITATOR OF ENGELBERT,ALSO THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME BY TOM JONES SWEET CAROLINE BY NEIL DIAMOND AND THERES LOADS MORE.THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WRITE BECAUSE IT ONLY MAKES PEOPLE SHOUT AT YOU HAHA XXX

  • chrishola61,

    This is a 5-star comment, thank you! Engelbert is unique, no matter what he sings. And, when he sings a song that originally "belonged" to someone else, one may rest assured that he does it HIS WAY. This doesn't stop me to love Elvis, Tom, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Queen, ABBA and all the rest. I actually have an endless list of favourites (please visit my channel). BUT Engelbert will always be my #1...

  • To whom ever please clean up your potty mouth.This man is pure talent,and what a gentleman.WE LOVE YOU ENGE.

  • alexlxcech,

    Lord have mercy on you! If it comes to that, wasn't Tom Jones, too, an "imitator" of Elvis (and Elvis, of MANY others?)? It's an outrageous stereotype: people never stop comparing EP, TJ and EH! I'm a Romanian and, as a rule, I've had a limited access to international music for many decades. But I NEVER stopped loving EH. AND a LOT of other Romanians love EH more than EP or TJ, because he is more European. But, of course, "red-necks" like us can't compete with you, "arians"...

  • Who are these people who come on here and try

    to bash Engelbert? They must be masochists who

    love to suffer. With all the stuff that's on youtube, surely they can find something that

    they like. Why come here if they don't like

    what Enge is doing? Personally, I love it and

    so do millions of other fans. Enge is the

    greatest!

  • how rude can you be so you don't like engelbert humperdink grow up he's got millions of fan that love and adore him do you. no did't think so are you making millions because you got fans so shut up and come back on youtube when you can get alittle bit more class . intil then i 'am sure none of fans want to here what you got to say.

  • He's more than beautiful.WOW........Ti adoro Enge.We love you....

  • oh GOD i want those pants!!!!

  • Oh GOD, I want what's in those pants!

  • I think this is hilarious. I was reading the posts on Engelbert's version of My Way.. Folks, the song is Paul Anka's, he wrote it..You can't compare Elvis and Engelbert..I love both of them and they were great friends. I love this rendition of the trilogy very much, and love elvis' version as well.. I respect Engelbert more because he took care of himself and keeps on going..Elvis is not here but remains in our hearts, but engelbert's here doing his thing for us to see. Go see him live!

  • fontaine32,

    I totally agree with you!!!

  • MY MY MY Goodness just enjoy .This is beautiful.
