ELVIS - Hound Dog REACTION! w/ Aaron Baker

[@BiggerThanMeTV]

I think he's talking about me in this song 😅 Love it!

[@alexandragrosu5940]

It’s not only about the moves, but everything combined: the looks, the humor, the charisma, the beauty, the humbleness, the playfulness and the list goes on. He had it all. He could just stay still and smirk once or give a certain look and everyone would freak out 😆 I watched others react to him, and you are one of my favorites, great reactions ❤️

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

There was so much hype about him, that the 1st time he was on the Ed Sullivan show, 82.6% of the TV viewers tuned in. It was his handsome sexiness, his hair style, moves, smile, confidence, eye movements and sense of humor and playfulness, at a time when sex was kept under wrap. Some adults, and seasoned crooners thought he was vulgar and and dangerous and that rock & roll was garbage music. The Colonel’s promotion of Elvis also contributed to his sudden fame.

[@Sergio54321]

Those four clappers were the legendary Jordanaires, Elvis’s favorite back up singers in the fifties and sixties.

[@janetgiddings5538]

The musicians are the ones on the small stage during the 68 Comeback Special. At least 2 of them, maybe all, started with him. That's part of what made it so special. They were with him for years, so they shared most of those early experiences. It was Elvis with old friends.

[@betsyjonex9364]

To answer your question in the 50's I was 11 and my dad would not let me watch him. No one had used sexy moves like that. People called it devil music. He was so gorgeous and sexy he just put you in a trance. He also made you feel that he was just singing to you. He was also one of the first to actually interact with the fans. I am 78 now and will love him forever.

[@bexanne99]

Elvis is so talented and very easy on the eye, as are you!! Thanks for the green reaction!! ❤

[@carolcliff5150]

The new 'picture' was his first movie "Love Me Tender." We screamed because we wanted him to know how much we enjoyed seeing him having fun and appreciating us, playing with us. As a 14-year old girl in 1956, I remember reading that every 14-year old girl in the country was in love with him. I also remember reading in the newspaper how he would be forgotten in 6 months.

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

86.2% of TV viewers in America tuned into to watch Elvis on Ed Sullivan that Sept Sunday night in 1956. He had had #1 hits since earlier in the year, and adults and the press were calling his Elvis the Pelvis, and worse due to his dancing in June, on the Milton Berle show. He had been featured in teen magazines, and newspapers and Ed Sullivan had said he’d never have Elvis on his show do the gyrating moves. Elvis hair was different, he was handsome, funny, sexy and good singer and dancer, and had already been given a movie contract. His first of 31 movies opened Thanksgiving in 1956 with much fanfare and long lines to see it. Love Me Tender, he didn’t have star billing, but due to his popularity he had star billing for all the rest. I and many critics think his 1958 movie, King Creole was his best role. Walter Matthau, who was in the movie, thought Elvis was a good actor.

[@JD-iv4jt]

8 to 80 I was 6 and I was in love with Elvis in 1968 and I still am.

[@pattyatty66]

You can’t do a week of Elvis reactions and not do Suspicious Minds! Legendary!

[@janetgiddings5538]

Yes. The 1970 live from Las Vegas one!

[@paulasmith3179]

Elvis was just the coolest guy ever and he was so good looking and talented. The ladies could not stop them selves from screaming. I wish i was there i would have screamed. thank you great reaction.

[@PatrioticTexan1776]

The best to ever do it! Elvis was one bad ass dude. no one’s ever seen anything like him back in those days. RIP to the 👑

[@patticriss2238]

His moves were not something anyone else was doing and he was beautiful and coordinated and he could sing. But I think most of it was that he did it all with humor.

[@christielysdale1815]

The funniest part of this particular performance is when he said “can I have you attention please” as if he wasn’t the center of attention the second he walked out. If you watch some documentaries about him, you will see that there were people who didn’t like him when he came out. They thought his dance moves were vulgar and he shouldn’t be on tv dancing like that.

[@michelle_mitch_p]

So glad the family are cheering about the film. Lisa Marie said if it and the lead don’t win an Oscar she would eat her foot 🤣 fun fact… when Priscilla and elvis sat in the chambers of the divorce court, they signed the paperwork holding hands and walked out holding hands. Stayed best friends forever xx

[@cindyphifer970]

My man Elvis beautiful inside and out

[@mzblue7214]

Come on...react to 'Trying To Get To You', 'Just Pretend' 'Poke Salad Annie' 'If I can dream" 'In The Ghetto' Let's blow your mind!!!!! ELVIS forever!!!!!! He was fine as HELLLLL!

[@cindyphifer970]

Glad you are taking your Mom. If mine was still alive I would take her. Tried to see Elvis all my life, and about a year before he passed, my Mommy finally got us tickets. It was wonderful even though he hadn't been out of the hospital for very long. His tickets used to sell out in about 5 minutes

[@u.s.veteranandpatriot7511]

he was`nt sure why they were screaming- but he figured it out- and learned how to work the crowd- check out " Fever " from the 1973 hawaiian concert

[@rosedavis8267]

The moves that Elvis does is the only moves that he is the only one who does them that the girls have not seen before. That is the reason they are screaming and being happy to see him singing and making those moves.

[@margarettaylor8107]

He is the only phenomenon in music history. Nobody else can come close.

[@kathifielder1110]

Your reactions to Elvis are amazing! He recorded over 700 songs in all different genres at all different stages of his career, and I hope you'll keep reacting to his music after you've seen the movie. This series of live performance clips will give you a small glimpse into his versatility: Elvis Presley - Music Evolution (1954-1977) (7:32). If you're interested in exploring it, you'll find that his life was as unique as his talent.

[@melk1393]

Back then people were very modest - the hip swinging was considered risqué 😆🔥

[@tonyarenee531]

I hope you enjoy the Elvis Movie! I can't go til next week! I hope you still do Elvis Reactions To His Performances & Music from his movies Interviews His funny moments! He was SO FUNNY! You MUST LOL React to some of his VEGAS LIVE Performances "Polk Salad Annie" & "Suspicious Minds" & "Just Pretend" & "Bridge Over Troubled Water" Dang He did over 700 SONGS! Thanks for all these reactions Elvis just makes me so HAPPY!!!!

[@melaniesander2569]

When he’s older his voice got so powerful!! Check out 1973 live in Hawaii (Steamroller Blues), (You Gave Me A Mountain) Thank You

[@tahoe_1353]

My way, I'm so Lonesome I could Cry

[@aletmartins6940]

Steamroller Blues!!

[@lynigirl1956]

Yep you got it right I remembered that performance watched it with my mom(she loved him) yea all we had was Perry Como Sinatra, And the old big band sound like Guy Lumbardo I had to be about 11 or 12 at the time. When I was 15 I caught up with the other crazy girls and did my share of crying and falling all over him.💕💕💕🕺🕺🕺

[@dbonyadi]

This was his 1st or 2nd National tv appearance. He became a sensation overnight after this show.

[@ella5319]

Before Elvis singers stood in one place, when Elvis burst on the scene people had never seen anything like it. Elvis kicked the door in for future entertainers to express their feel for what they was singing.

[@cindyphifer970]

You should check out Hound Dog performance from the Milton Berle show. He got to move around a lot more. The Jordanaires behind him were his backing vocals in the early years

[@momir6194]

You are spot on, nobody in those days moved or shook their hips in the suggestive movements. This brought about a culture change. Elvis was censored and filmed from waist up for a while.

[@aletmartins6940]

You have to watch his moves in Jailhouse Rock. One of my favorites is Don’t be Cruel. Btw, the background “clappers” also harmonized as was usual in the fifties - doowop!

[@janetgiddings5538]

Yes. The clip from the movie, "Jailhouse Rock"!

[@sackofnachos]

It was that he was moving at all. If you watch any of the 50s entertainment television, singers just.... stood there. Maybe they snapped their fingers, but they didn't move. If they did, then it was choreographed dancing. Then Elvis comes along, and he not only moves, he moves his HIPS, stands on his TOES, wiggles himself all the way across the stage in a frenzy of feeling the music. There was no choreography, he just moved how he felt the beat. People lost their fucking MINDS. The kids/teens/young adults loved it. The adults... not so much. He was a threat to them and their way of life - not only because of the moves, but the style of singing he brought to the masses, the "race music", and therefore, he was corrupting their kids. People tried to get his records banned, have him thrown in jail for indecency - all kinds of crazy bullshit, that today wouldn't even move the needle. But Elvis was the first. And he dragged the culture from "How Much Is That Doggy In the Window" all the way into "Hound Dog", and he did it while many were kicking and screaming. He changed everything. I just binged a bunch of your reactions and they've been fantastic. You have some great insight.

[@inescece4707]

You had it ! We had never seen anything like it ! We were listening to frank Sinatra Dean Martin so when he came along we were in shock !!!❤ great video !

[@sandrahernandez569]

It's Not The Moves Per se-- It's HIM!!! Yes, No one had ever done those Moves but It wouldn't have worked with Any Guy- It's The Whole Package- he's BEAUTIFUL. Gorgeous

[@donnaselfon2969]

Exactly he was something they had never seen..he was the 1st..

[@moekontze116]

sensual, sexual, handsome and the charisma Go back time mum n dad were into the singers just standing there n sing. then along came this young man n just drew them in and started a youth revolution . America was never the same

[@michelle_mitch_p]

Film is frigging amazing. Seen pre release viewing x

[@johnluna9286]

The reason is simple...Along with his good looks and charm nobody ever did those moves on the stage before in the 1950's and teenage girls looked at him as the forbidden fruit. It was considered obscene moving your hips and legs like that back then.

[@sherylmcclure400]

You need to see him do this song on the Milton Berle show that's when music changed that day because of his dance moves they tried to shut him down after this

[@michelle_mitch_p]

Just loving these reactions x

[@robertrains2353]

That new picture was JAILHOUSE ROCK

[@lorisutton5267]

Hey sweetheart, liking your Elvis reactions, but everyone else is right, dig deeper and explore the vast range that Only Elvis had with music, react to Suspicious Mind's 69 concert in Vegas, Just Pretend, beautiful love song, IF I CAN DREAM 68 comeback special, and then finish it off, for now with a gospel song by Elvis, You Gave Me A Mountain, blow's you away, you will increase your sub's, I promise, looking forward for more Elvis reactions, Take care. TCB 1835🤺🤺🤺🤺⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡👑👑👑👑👑👃👃👃👃

[@sylviabell499]

This man was perfect and beautiful

[@deannachurch4911]

Rock was so new and exciting. Mix that with the moves and the handsome. 🔥guaranteed recipe for screams.

[@michelle_mitch_p]

One song that’s so hard to find that he sang in a film. My dad used to sing it to me as a baby. It’s called “ daddy big boots” he still sings it to me when I stay over ❤️

[@aletmartins6940]

That’s in GI Blues.

[@melaniesander2569]

it’s me again loving your reactions on Elvis please keep them coming. *1970 live in Las Vegas-white suit ( LOVE ME TENDER) kissing all the girls 🥰 you’ll get a kick out of this. You’ll see how much he loved his fans and they loved him. The ladies wanted him and the men wanted to be him!! I suggested before since his songs are so short you could easily knock out 2 to 3 songs back to back. Ty

[@MarkRogersVOCFB]

Good review man.

[@lindaparchman795]

Please react to What Now My Love 💓

[@kelliwise1]

I saw Elvis live in concert

[@betsyjonex9364]

Thanks man I love your show, please do "If I Can Dream". I saw the movie and it was great I did cry a t the end.

[@melaniesander2569]

Quick note Elvis made 32 movies.

[@patprescott1818]

It's great you listening to Elvis. You really should branch out more there are so many different types of singers and songs to explore. Keep going ❤✌

[@richardsmoot7827]

You need to watch him do his Gospel music that was his favorite

[@u.s.veteranandpatriot7511]

elvis was always nervous ,watch his left leg in all preformances. you`ll see

[@joemazing89]

I’m watching these in order so you may get to it, but I really hope you get to Unchained Melody. Going tonight to see the movie and I CANT WAIT!

[@gino211964]

elvis tolk about first movie love me tender

[@mattbowen4350]

The guys behind him are the jordanaires. A famous gospel/ backing group in the time. they are singing to but you can't hear them over the screams lol

[@p.e.amueli8272]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ from New Zealand

[@minelliradney9132]

It is best to watch Elviis 1970 Las Vegas concert Most people know of those videos Suspicious Minds Polk.Salad Annie Mystery Train / Tiger Man All in one concert.. He had a. White jumpsuit He does dance

[@patticriss2238]

It really wasn’t just the moves. It was that Elvis never took it seriously. It was all just fun. Humor with a raw, sexual edge.

[@anthonyfrazier8448]

Because nobody else had done that and at one point they only filmed him from the waist up because the networks thought his moves were vulgar and tried to put him in jail and tried to get radio stations to not play his songs but they couldn't stop him

[@joemazing89]

His moves were considered taboo at the time, he grew up in Tupelo MS and got a lot of influence from the African American blues style of that time and white people weren’t doing those kind of things. I think this was his second appearance on Ed Sullivan and the first one they literally would only show him from the waist up.

[@Metalphysicalpodcast]

In the 1950s society was very prudish and repressed. So his movements were considered lewd. Also there was racial segregation at that time and his movements were considered "too black.". He was also the first artist to do more than just stand there onstage.

[@sherrera66]

The iconic performance is the Milton Berle show that’s the one that started it all plus it’s the one that him got banned, all the hate mail, etc must watch the one that is unedited with the slow stripper moves at the end lol and yes exactly Elvis was the first one to bring sexuality to the stage a big no no!

[@sandrahernandez569]

Our New Picture- a Motion Picture- His MOVIE "Love Me Tender"- (No Videos at the time, lol)

[@anaisdoriane2320]

You should react to Doja Cat’s song “Vegas” for the movie about Elvis! You’ll love it

[@stretchedbellybutton1698]

For sure!

[@stretchedbellybutton1698]

Omg yess!

[@deniset943]

Hello Aaron glad you're back😊. Can you react to Jailhouse Rock by Elvis. Also can you react to Vegas by Doja Cat

[@TheMojaveCourier]

Gotta check out if I can dream

[@joanmatthews2570]

Love your reactions. React to his duet with Frank Sinatra

[@trishf3576]

These moves were tame compared to his live shows (not the ones specially filmed foe TV).

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Man you should really check out his show from earlier that year in 1956. It was on a variety show that wasn't quite as popular as Ed Sullivan but it was still really major and it was a huge exposure for him. It was called the Milton Berle show. And this is when most of America got to see all his moves and his personality and it just created all kinds of reactions, both extremely positive and also a lot of negative and frankly racist reactions. And in fact it led to him being filmed only from the waist up after that for a while. I'm surprised that they're showing his whole body on this Ed Sullivan Show because the Milton Berle show led to him doing the had sold and show appearances later that year. And had Sullivan had originally said that he would never have Elvis on because rock and roll was just the worst thing to ever happen to America and he thought Elvis was vulgar. But then when Elvis became worth lots of money after that Milton Pearl show, he booked him for four appearances. And so in the Ed Sullivan version he definitely tones down his moves. This is a condensed clip of it from a documentary and it's less than 3 minutes long but you should know that the band never rehearse that it goes to have Tempo. It's just that it was over so quick Elvis wanted it to keep going and he was always so unpredictable, so he kept it going at halftime. And that allow them to do his dance moves in slow motion which actually takes a lot of core strength, the guy was quite the athlete. But then audience when even crazier and it just became this huge television ratings success. And his band followed along without flinching. But make sure to watch the last 30 seconds of this very short clip because they actually sample some of the racist reactions that happened to this performance. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4jNaJWCrbJjsMk

[@thymeout4rosemary446]

He was 21 in 1956.

[@tahoe_1353]

not many, if any, moved like that back then. Apparently, that wasn't very decent in that day of age. I think most of what was aired on tv was from the waist up with him, lol. Funny to think about when you see the dancing today.

[@stevenpoe640]

Before Elvis, nobody white really moved and gyrated on stage at all. The white establishment associated that kind of behavior with black performers, which most white kids had never been exposed to. It was a sexual display that you didn't see anywhere in "white" society, especially on TV. That's why he was so denounced at the time, and also why the kids loved it. He was breaking a taboo, and blurring the line between white and black music performance. The particular moves were not as important as the fact that he had the balls to do it openly and without shame. He also was cracking the door open for black artists to reach the larger white audience. He didn't steal Big Mama Thorton's Hound Dog, or any other of the "black" songs he performed. He was opening the minds of a generation of white kids to styles of music that had been off limits to them.

[@melaniesander2569]

Please please react to 1970 live in Las Vegas-white suit (SUSPECIOUS MINDS) Elvis the Best Entertainer you will ever see he had everything His Charisma , Looks, Sexy as Hell 🔥,voice,the moves No one even comes close to him there’s only one 👑 He doesn’t like to be called the king to him there was only one King and that is God.

[@tammyjomcgregor6725]

Can you please react to American trilogy live in Honolulu by Elvis Presley you will love it And also you gave me a Mountain

[@ianraymondback]

There's several versions of this song/video all different amount of moves

[@kerrypapworth1526]

Do yourself a huge favour and watch Elvis kissing his fans in Love me Tender. Also Elvis with Frank Sinatra on tv, amazing.

[@ASCENDINGTOHIM]

They were never done before …

[@JD-iv4jt]

Trying to get to you.

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

BRO: I left you a comment on your reaction to "Return To Sender" for a specific reason. Your video was uploaded to me yesterday. I can barely "hear" the audio and music. (I have very good hearing, BTW). Any other music reaction Channels have good to excellent sound. If you are able to amend my issue, you'll have a New Subscriber! THANK YOU!

[@chuckragland6100]

You have to realize, back then hadn't even had to twist yet. So he shook his legs like that it was like he was doing something really vulgar! Before Elvis when it came to White performers, it was pretty much just crooners like Frank Sinatra Bing Crosby like that! Then here comes Elvis, he was the first one to really cut loose and be kind of uninhibited.

[@richardsmoot7827]

Do you not know its 1956 no one ever would ever do this ...there was no one before him that pull this off on TV

[@ronaldackerman7383]

You want to know why the women scream, just ask your mom and if she gives you a smirk you know the real answer Elvis never danced he moved to the music and the music moved with Elvis and yes he was just 21 years old then thank you for your reaction

[@sandrahernandez569]

Those guys only clap during te songs that they don't harmonize w him

[@MarkRogersVOCFB]

Not 18-80, more like 12-22 at that time in terms of the girls going crazy.

[@bign8580]

Before Elvis there was nothing ...... John Lennon

[@sylviabell499]

Mo they don't they sing

[@sylviabell499]

Stop talking 👄
