  • @lastrada52: What part of you do not have to reply do you not understand? I can state my opinions, you move on. Bye, get lost, leave me to make my comments. Your saying bye means you are getting out of here, so........get out.

  • @Jevezy - You and I have taken up lots of space here about your twisted "song vampire" theory about Elvis which you still haven't substantiated whatsoever for anyone who knows how logic works. This is a Bobby Darin YouTube site. I'm not going to bore Bobby Darin fans with this conversation any longer. What part of "Bye" did you not understand?

  • @lastrada52: Should I give a damn who take me seriously? These are my opinions and people can agree or not agree. I agree that you are wasting your time trying to defend Elvis, it is best for you to move on because each post you submit makes absolutely no sense. Denying that something exists does not mean it does not. So denying that Elvis was a song vampire does not mean he was not one.

  • @Jevezy - Are you reading what I'm writing? I don't care what you think of Elvis. It doesn't bother me & I never visited Graceland. Your fantasy. You say he's a song vampire -- fine. I'm telling you that if you can't back up your opinion with more substantial reasoning, no one is going to take you seriously. No one will respect your opinion. But, "it means absolutely nothing..." to you. OK. There are far more important things in this world to argue about Jevezy. Bye.

  • @lastrada52: Why should it matter to you what I think of Elvis? You keep kneeling at the mention of his name, visiting Graceland and blissfully believing that he was more talented that he really was. What I believe is irrelevant. Nevertheless it is mine to belief, so I believe he is a song vampire, so be it, you keep naming people who defended him or respected him, that means absolutely nothing to me, I make up my own mind.

  • @Jevezy - U still don't make a good argument on Elvis. The King of R&R title was not a self-proclaimed one - so forget that silly crap. Even if you insist on believing the tag -- that's ok. But to hate Elvis so much because of that - it's too bad. U miss some of the better stuff then. Instead, you write Elvis off. We can agree on liking Bobby Darin. (But, even Darin respected Elvis...does that diminish Darin for you? If not, why are WE debating? Bobby Darin would defend Elvis, Jevezy.)

  • @lastrada52: He was a song vampire, and it is too bad you cannot deal with it. I did not tell him to spend all his time covering other folks songs, he qualifies for that name because that is all he did 90% of his time. Respect who? Elvis? Elvis is for you to respect, he is your King of Rock and Roll, you respect him.

  • @Jevezy - As stated earlier, u just don't like Elvis. That's fine Jevezy -- u have that right. You won't affect his millions of fans, vast record sales, record breaking performances, his affect on pop culture, people who did admire him. You won't put a blemish on his status in entertainment. My only problem is your "reason." "Song vampire," just not a strong enough reason to hate someone. I'm not a fan of Ali, but that doesn't mean I don't respect what he accomplished. Know what I mean?

  • @lastrada52 : Elvis was a song vampire, you can name all the singers who did covers, and yes you can pick a black man like Sammy Davis Jnr. to call a song vampire, but hell that does not remove the fact that Elvis has a very short career and for the rest of his life he sang covers. There is nowhere on YouTube you can go to look at a song that was recorded when he was alive without seeing his face with a cover of the song. The "so called" King of Rock & Roll was a song vampire.

  • @Jevezy - Thanks for writing back with clarity. I appreciate it. You sound better this way. Jevezy, not all Elvis songs were "covers." In Elvis' day, before the Beatles & popularity of singer-songwriters (Dylan), many singers traditionally went to songwriters (who pitched songs to artists). Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole -- they all did it. Elvis did nothing out of the ordinary. You can dislike Elvis. It's OK. But "song vampire" - that could even be Sammy Davis jr.
