  • The words "black velvet" refer to either Elvis himself (as his likeness is usually painted on a black velvet canvas) or his voice. Described as a "new religion that'll bring y'all to your knees" The chorus tells of "black velvet in that little boy's smile/ Black velvet with that slow, Southern style" and the end of the first verse claims that "The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything, " and that "he'd leave you longing for [black velvet]

  • pcdrumdad - search you tube for covers of this. believe me... there are MUCH worse ones out there. OTR has every reason to be a proud papa. Although, I must say, I'm horribly confused as to WHY there are so many covers, and I mean BAD covers of this song out there.

  • i get goose bumps SHE MAKES IT LOOK SOOO EZ

  • i think you did a great job of how you sang black velvet my name is alisha keep up the good work i like to sing also

  • I don't think she is the next American Idol. For god sakes. She WAS however enrolled in the "Miss America Pageants in 1996. I removed her in her best interest I felt. A lot of cut-throat activity. Many of these young girls were required by pressure to create some talent. Do you enjoy picking on children? hats off to you... you succeeded! so whats your point?

    I am still proud of her, and always will be.

    Can't say the same for you though. I don't pick on children.

  • orginal singer - Alannah Myles (not certain of spelling)

  • ARE YOU SERIOUS?,,... you dont know?

  • Who origanily sang this song?
