    If you make Joe Esposito cry, you either are Elvis or you are the next best thing to him. Shawn is that man. Absolutley amazing! I met Shawn and he is a really nice guy as well and a genuine great entertainer. God Bless ya Shawn for doing what you do and helping to keeping the spirit of Elvis alive!

    Shawn is the most down to earth guy you'll ever meet. I live like 2 blocks from him and have known him almost my whole life. I cant believe how big he got in such a short period of time. See ya at Savo's, Shawn!

    Shaun Klush only Elvis impersonator to bring Diamond Joe to tears. Saying that he did just like Elvis.

    I seen Shawn Klush at the Elvis in Collingwood festival and was beyond words by what I saw. I sat about forty feet from the stage and with his singing and motions, I could not tell or hear the difference. He is the best I have ever seen.

      Shawn is incredible. Seen him in Collingwood. From a distance you cannot tell the difference.

    Elvis did an amazing rendition of My Way and it was an important part of his live show.

    Take if from a 71 year old male, who liked Elvis very muich, Shawn is the best of all that I've ever seen, there are a few that are close, but none quite as good as Shawn.

    Unbelievable. I've worked for an Elvis tribute artist, but I have never ever heard anyone sound so much like him and also create a very good visual. It's all about creating the illusion and he is awesome. I actually thought my ipod was doing something weird and he was lip syncing to Elvis' My Way at first. I would LOVE to take my aunt and uncle to see him. She and my late father saw Elvis in 1956. My mom and I have met Joe, and I can see why he was so affected. Thank you for posting this.

    Beginning at 6:18, you can see Joe Esposito's sentimental connection with Elvis Presley and his legendary performances when he starts to choke up...
    Takes one's breath away when you come to appreciate how beautiful memories can be...

  • @PaulRamnora
    @PaulRamnora 9 років тому +9

    Wow! I confess to being a lifetime Elvis fan; and, so far to date, I've never heard anybody sing exactly like him. So, I decided to watch this video rather skeptically thinking it would be just another miss. Quite surprisingly he's actually a tremendous hit. Might not look like him exactly; or, move like him exactly; but, as to the splendid voice, I sure as hell am very deeply impressed. Probably the best Elvis sound impersonator I ever yet heard; and, believe me, through the years I've heard many. ;-)

  • @charger19691

    Shawn is the closest you will ever get to Elvis Presley. He has the speaking voice, singing voice and Elvis's mannerisms down perfectly. Brilliant!!!

    Enjoyed both guys. I saw Elvis twice in concert. Once in Las Vegas and again in Omaha. Really And truly, I have to say that the only ETA that makes me feel like I am watching Elvis live, is Ben Portsmouth. He is truly Elvis in the flesh alive.

    I went to Wilkes Barry, Pa.during a level 5 snowstorm with my Elvisbud. We drove all day to see him preform and it was worth it. He is one of the best Elvis impersonators.

  • @hawkinau1
    @hawkinau1 9 років тому +39

    I have been an avid Elvis fan for nearly 60 yrs, had all his records (still have some) and seen all his movies, I have watched a lot of Elvis impressionist's and impersonators and I must say Shawn Klush has pretty much got Elvis down to a tee, from looks to mannerisms to his speaking and singing voice.
    Martin Fontaine is the only other one that is as close to Elvis as you can get, he's pretty good too

    I just bumped into Shawn Klush few hours ago and I have to say, I have tears in my eyes the first time I watch him performs. I never care about impersonators but this gave me chils.
    You know what, I think God probably realized it was a mistake to take Elvis away so soon that he created someone like Shawn to bring back the memories and share with us who couldn't witness the real ELvis...

  • @Kenman22
    @Kenman22 14 років тому +12

    The most impersonated person in the world is, of course, Elvis Presley (1935-77).
    There are currently more than 400,000 professional Elvis impersonators in the world. Interestingly, at the time of his death in 1977 there were only 170.
    This rate of expansion of Elvis impersonation is such that were it to continue at a constant rate, by the year 2020 it is estimated that one-third of the world's population would be Elvis impersonators.

    You know for those that might think Elvis is still alive, its videos like this that kinda make me lean toward him being dead for sure, if you notice toward the end you can sorta see the emotion come over him when he is telling a story about Elvis..

    The guy who sounded most like Elvis and he wasn't really an impersonator was a guy called Ral Donner. When they did a documentary about Elvis and they wanted a live voice over they used Ral Donner as Elvis's speaking voice on the documentary. Someone had done the research on this I think and realized how close he sounded.

    iowa61:My way is a central tune in an Elvis contest due to the fact that it was a song that Elvis loved to sing and the fact that alot of people recognise the song as an Elvis presley tune...i dont take anything away from Frank Sinatra because he preformed the song wonderfuly as well and yes it was Franks song but it is also a song that was a staple for Elvis to do live,witch is why alot of ETA's preform the song

    This show filmed around the same time as the first EPE contest and was handled fairly. The necklace however, Shawn was able to graciously borrow from a museum.
