He is real good.. Became familiar with him a year ago.. Good look, good voice.. Check out him doing 'My Boy, by Elvis.. That is the real Elvis feel with full Orchestra and Production.. He is something.. I like people doing Elvis in there own voice, and not trying to be Elvis..i.e- the Impersonators.. This guy is the real deal, natural, and the right way to introduce a new Generation to Elvis
Craig, I agree wholeheartedly. Bouke is sensational and not to be demeaned. A number of musicians who worked with Elvis have also worked with Bouke. He is quite versatile. He can run the gamut.
I just listened to it again First time ever hearing it I would love that style of music back on the airwaves . The fifties when men sounded like a man. Dd
I like it ,his voice is a throw back to the fifties Along with the tune. You would find many stronger, deeper voices than todays. If you tapped in to this decade. He's talented enough to stand on his own The elvis in him is the clean crisp clear delivery. Plus his voice doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Thanks Dd
He is from Holland. I have followed him for about three months. His name is pronounced as Bow (Rhymes with sew) yoke. Something like that. His band is called "Elvis Matters." He has featured Elvis musicians such as orchestra leader Joe Guercio who has since passed away, and Glen Hardin on the piano. He has been honored at Graceland and got to play Elvis's guitar. He does many Elvis songs in the style of Elvis. No one can replace Elvis, but Bouke certainly has an "Elvis vibe" as you said. This song is a cover that Shakin Stevens did. But Bouke's voice is more manly as you also said. Bouke does a lot of original songs and covers a lot of Elvis's catalog. For a sample : 1)You've Lost That Loving Feeling 2) Hurt 3) You'll Never Walk Alone [It is superior to Elvis's version] 4) Sound Of Your Cry 5) The Wonder Of You --and so much more.
Bestofsmall, thank you! Some non-Elvis songs you can watch and listen to from Bouke : 1) To Love Somebody 2) I Want To Know What Love Is 3) Does Your Mother Know 4) Bring It On Home To Me 5) Cry To Me. And there are many more aside from numerous Elvis covers.
Bouke is my favorite of all time. He can sing any genre. If you like emotional songs with a dramatic buildup, it doesn’t get much better than What Now My Love. I like this version best. From Viva Las Vegas, Eindhoven, 9/19/15). ua-cam.com/video/zRGL9u3S0Wg/v-deo.html
Bouke and the Elvis Matters Band won the European 2023 Tribute Band of the Year.... He is brilliant. Bear in mind he is Dutch, and English is not his native language. Having grown up listening to Elvis, I'd swear Elvis has been reincarnated in Bouke. Here is a compilation of those performances on the show... Blows my mind,.. ❤ua-cam.com/video/IW250QgGqXs/v-deo.html
I’m totally binging your videos. Loving the music and seeing someone young enjoying it too. I know you get requests all the time, but maybe you could add Fishing in the Dark by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to your list?
Awesome tune. Bouke sings elvis live in his concerts but this song was also done by shakin Stevens as well you should go and check it out as he covered it first
Ay I fw your reactions I swear if you listen to spm and king lil g hits Mexicans are gonna flock to you we all fw the same people you got good personality keep up the work
Hi, India I would like you to do a reaction to the song, ‘ Ode to Billy Joe’ by Bobby Gentry if you have never listened to it before. It was released in 1967. Won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1968, and the Grammy Award for Record of the Year as well in 1968 plus the Academy Of Country Music Awards. It is consider by some one of the best songs ever composed because of its story telling element. Because of this it was made into a Hollywood famous movie in the mid 1970’s. Anyway, if you have never heard it I wanted to get your reaction to it.
I hope you can react to my favorite band of all time. The band is called Man Man, the song I recommend starting your journey into this band is "Piranhas Club". Thanks for a fun channel!
Try the version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Eva Cassidy. It will break you. After that, try Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" done by Jeff Buckley. That will break you more. Finally, do Tracy Chapman's "The Promise", then you will be totally and completely broken. :)
Elvis would be 84 years, 8 months old. But no, Bob Joyce is not Elvis. Elvis died on August 1977. It's undeniable fact you need to accept. But Pastor Bob does have an Elvis-like voice. Glen Hardin, Elvis's pianist, attends Joyce's church. You can see him playing guitar while Bob is singing.
Here's one from the early 60's that I know you'll react favorably to. In fact you'll love it. "Hurt" by Timi Yuro. Here's a link ua-cam.com/video/BPy-Memj0vE/v-deo.html I just discovered your channel and love your reactions. Thanks
Hi India I have a song request could you please do a reaction to 'The Riddle' by Nik Kershaw, there is an official music video to the song but I would recommend a lyric video. Love your reactions.
You should checked out Jimmy Ellis orion he didn't try to sound like Elvis he just had a similar voice . If Elvis never lived Jimmy would be what Elvis was.
This isn't an Elvis song. It's a Shaking Stevens song Number one in UK in the eighties had 28 top twenty hits five which were number one. Shaky was a star on his own right.
Bit of advise going forward don't bother with these Elvis sound a-like's or imitators...I've listened to them for decades...it might be a nice gesture...but there's nothing like the original...It's funny but I've met an remarkable musician from Australia here in Brooklyn Joe Var Veri...who beautifully covers Elvis songs unlike anyone I'd ever heard before and here doesn't try to sound like Elvis...he has his own distinct sound...but he does it in the Elvis style...let me tell you he really complements Elvis...
He sound a bit like Elvis but not the moves, but don't be another Elvis cause there's only one like him. Do your own music and style or you'll just be another impersonator. He has a good voice and I'm sure he will succeed.
He may sound a little like Elvis, but not by much. But I do recommend doing a reaction to Jon Cotner singing "Are You Sincere". Jon Cotner is also known as the Mystery Man. Not only does Jon Cotner sings like Elvis, but his speaking voice also sound like Elvis. And for some reason, Jon Cotner always uses photos of Elvis in his videos, he sometimes put his own photo in his videos, but it's only him as an old man, never any younger photos of himself...unless?
Patrick, are you disappointed that he doesn't wear a jumpsuit and dye his hair black, or what? Of course he sounds like Elvis, you need to check out at least a dozen of his songs before making a snap judgement.

Elvis always Elvis forever and ever.
Bouke was the winner of the Dutch national TV show Waar Is Elvis (Where Is Elvis).
and now he is also the winner of tribute of the band with his band the elvis mathers band
Elvis Presley - Return To Sender
He's Dutch and does a lot of Elvis covers.
That smile of yours. Oh, and eyes. Lips. Eyebrows. Voice. Okay, you’re just amazing.
He might sound like Elvis a bit,but he sure don't look like him
Why should he have to look like Elvis?
@@timcarr6401 correct it's all about the voice
Very good
I'm glad you like him Shirley.
@@timcarr6401 who is he
Shirley, just look below at my post made three hours ago to find out.
@@timcarr6401 well he sounds Like elvis for sure .
The musicians backing him is The Elvis Matters Band. And he has been honored at Graceland.

India, you should do a reaction video for Jerry Rafferty, “Baker Street”. You will really like it.
Awesome tune. Bouke sings elvis live in his concerts but this song was also done by shakin Stevens as well you should go and check it out as he covered it first
A Dutch treat, wow he s good.

THIS WOMAN IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. LOOKING LIKE KIMBERLY ELISE FROM THE MOVIE SET IT OFF.
Steve Holy - Just A Kiss
I hope you can react to my favorite band of all time. The band is called Man Man, the song I recommend starting your journey into this band is "Piranhas Club". Thanks for a fun channel!
Bouke sings: My boy
He is a Dutch singer
Its starts around 2.20 min

Have you listened to Charlie Pride?
“Kiss An Angel Good morning” was just one of many hits he had in the late ‘60s into the ‘70s.
Shakin Stevens from 1984 is the original version as stated on Wikipedia.
Steve Holy - If That's What You Want, Blue Moon, or Someone's Out To Get Me
you pronounce Bouke like english sound of; Bowkuh :)
India, check out Bob Joyce. Is Elvis still alive? He'd be 81 years old now a pastor?
Quit perpetuating that lie
Elvis would be 84 years, 8 months old. But no, Bob Joyce is not Elvis. Elvis died on August 1977. It's undeniable fact you need to accept. But Pastor Bob does have an Elvis-like voice. Glen Hardin, Elvis's pianist, attends Joyce's church. You can see him playing guitar while Bob is singing.
@@timcarr6401 you see what they're doing right??
This was a shakin stevens song in the early 80s check it out he had style 👌👍

Hi India I have a song request could you please do a reaction to 'The Riddle' by Nik Kershaw, there is an official music video to the song but I would recommend a lyric video. Love your reactions.
atleast elvis was also dutch and some parts :D
Nice Id like to hear him sing some Elvis songs
Wow he's fantastic Elvis impersonator but it was first recorded in 1983 by shaking Stevens(original)
Pleased can you do a review of shaking stevens
Harry Chapin-Taxi and/or Cats in the Cradle
ELVIS REINCARNATED AS JASON BIGGS.
Type in his name again on youtube. He just a won tv show.
Bough- (like tree branch) keh
You should checked out Jimmy Ellis orion he didn't try to sound like Elvis he just had a similar voice . If Elvis never lived Jimmy would be what Elvis was.
I did check him out, spoke like him but not the songs.
I suggest Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party
Try reacting to Neil Diamond .... Coming to America...very powerful
This isn't an Elvis song. It's a Shaking Stevens song Number one in UK in the eighties had 28 top twenty hits five which were number one. Shaky was a star on his own right.
I recommend Let It Be by the Beatles
He has a decent voice but he should be trying to make it on his own name and his own style. Too darn many of these guys competing for Elvis glory.
A classic Shakin' Stevens song
Please please please react to Mickey Guyton - Caught up in your storm // The George Jones Session
How about "powderfinger" by Neil Young? If you find the time
No no no no no no no!!!!!!!!!
Bit of advise going forward don't bother with these Elvis sound a-like's or imitators...I've listened to them for decades...it might be a nice gesture...but there's nothing like the original...It's funny but I've met an remarkable musician from Australia here in Brooklyn Joe Var Veri...who beautifully covers Elvis songs unlike anyone I'd ever heard before and here doesn't try to sound like Elvis...he has his own distinct sound...but he does it in the Elvis style...let me tell you he really complements Elvis...
Great song shame Elvis never did it
All songs by Bouke in the show Battle of the bands
ua-cam.com/video/IW250QgGqXs/v-deo.html
Try shakin Stevens version its not bad
You should realy react to Loretta Lynn you aint woman enough love you channel
Hi, elvis never sang this song, it was sang by shakin stevens, got to number one in the 80s, shakin stevens was a big elvis fan, this is a good song
As soon as she played the video I credited Shakin' Stevens for doing the song originally -- that was two days ago.
Try shakin stevens version it's another awesome version
He sound a bit like Elvis but not the moves, but don't be another Elvis cause there's only one like him. Do your own music and style or you'll just be another impersonator. He has a good voice and I'm sure he will succeed.
react to air supply making love
How about you take a listen to Suspicion by Elvis
Dd
Listen to Shakin' Stevens version from 1984. The UKs answer to Elvis Presley.
He may sound a little like Elvis, but not by much. But I do recommend doing a reaction to Jon Cotner singing "Are You Sincere". Jon Cotner is also known as the Mystery Man. Not only does Jon Cotner sings like Elvis, but his speaking voice also sound like Elvis. And for some reason, Jon Cotner always uses photos of Elvis in his videos, he sometimes put his own photo in his videos, but it's only him as an old man, never any younger photos of himself...unless?
He shouldn't stay.
Absolutely not like Elvis!!! Nobody can sound like the king because he is unique! I hate people who try to imitate the king!
Patrick, are you disappointed that he doesn't wear a jumpsuit and dye his hair black, or what? Of course he sounds like Elvis, you need to check out at least a dozen of his songs before making a snap judgement.
Hey India....Bend a ear to Roxy music..LOVE IS THE DRUG...Sincerely..Livin for the funk
