[@biff1tannen]

Im so glad James Burton give me a signature on my mini guitar in 2007. I still have it😊

[@ElvisPress]

James is a real nice gentleman!

[@SuperAtlantis1]

I wish Elvis would've done A star is Born, he would be so good.

[@southerngirl9941]

Congrats Emiel👏👏👏! Great show again. To see and hear from James Burton always warms my heart. He was there every concert with Elvis?! Wow 🎶💪 I hope he is in good health now Have a happy holiday season 🕺🎶🎶

[@Patracat]

Thanks for another terrific news report! I was chuffed that you included my car seat covers. I love seeing all the places around the world that have some kind of Elvis feature, and pleased to see that we have quite a few in Australia. I enjoyed the Netflix doco, saw it twice with different friends, as I don't have Netflix on my tv. But I was disgusted at the comments made by the exwife and Jerry Schilling about some of Elvis' films being embarrassing. Those films were much loved by his fans at the time of their release; I would line up for hours at the cinemas in Melbourne on the day they opened, just to see Elvis on the big screen and hear him sing (and talk).

[@ElvisPress]

Hi Gina... LOL ... I love the way you wrote "the exwife" as I get the impression that you physically cannot type her name! :-) I agree with you about the Elvis movies. Many of them are a joy to watch. I mean my kids (when they were little) loved Elvis singing Old MacDonald and Wooden Heart (in the puppet show). When they were little I did them a big favour with the Elvis movies instead of watching the 68 Comeback Special as they would not understand it. What I am trying to say that there is an Elvis for every age! So even the silly movie songs had an appreciative audience. Well at least in our house! ;-). Kind regards, and enjoy your car seats! ;-). Emiel

[@Patracat]

@@ElvisPress LOL, you are so right - I can't STAND to type her name, and I like to emphasise to everyone that she is an ex wife, not the widow of Elvis Yes indeed -there is an Elvis for every age - I like that phrase

[@claudegarcia312]

Great job Emiel. 👑 You are a must for Elvis fans. Keep it up! 🇫🇷 TCB ⚡

[@ElvisPress]

OOooowwww...that is so nice of you Claude! Regards, Emiel

[@catherinepage2676]

Re Elvis Evolution, I am waiting to hear what people make of it. I am quite happy to watch what is currently available. That's just my opinion.

[@geoffreyparsons4353]

Netflix documentary was pretty good . I didn't agree with some of the comments on his career after the come back but it was quite moving on a man rediscovering himself .

[@matuserose]

We saw him in the March 28th show in Austin, TX. He put on a wonderful show and looked good. The Mexican Sundial suit is the trivia answer.

[@ElvisPress]

Well in that case the new FTD might be of interest to you. I mean it is always nice to have a recording of a show which you attended! And thank you for participating in the trivia question. In the next regular video I will give the correct answer and - as usual - have a new trivia question for my viewers. Thanks for watching, and for leaving your comment. Kind regards, Emiel Maier.

[@elvisfan61]

I enjoyed this month's video, Emiel! Congrats on 10K! I'm sorry to see the Elvis is Everywhere segment come to an end, but thoroughly enjoyed everyone's photos. Maybe again in the future you can get more photos and do the segment every once in a while. Have no clue about the very interesting trivia question, but look forward to the answer! Until then, have a great holiday season, Emiel. ~Gloria

[@ElvisPress]

Hi Gloria. Yeah, maybe the Elvis Is Everywhere segment is returning in 2026. (It will give people the chance to collect their Elvis sightings on camera). I am thinking of giving something else a focus in 2025. Not sure what..., but I've got some ideas. Thank you for watching Gloria! All the best. Kind regards, Emiel

[@jayjay-ge4pd]

Heres to the next 10K🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I can't wait until the 10th May 2025 for the Elvis Evolution show to begin. I have tickets for the 1st day. 😂😂😂 Thank you Emiel ❤️ for a wonderful show. Take care my friend, see you in December XXX ❤️

[@ElvisPress]

Hi Karen. Thank you for your congratulating me. Yep...next target will be 15,000 subscribers... ;-). (Fingers crossed!). Oh, how nice to read that you have tickets for the first day of Elvis Evolution. Please let me know after the show what your thoughts are. I think it will be really special, as it is a new kind of Art form. -- I myself will see the show on July 10, when I combine my visit to London while being on my way to Blackpool. So we both have something to look forward to in 2025! Have a good weekend, and ALL the best! Kind regards, Emiel xxx

[@ElvisPress]

It is a labour of love, Helen. It absorbs many hours of my spare time, but I keep going because of the appreciative comments of my viewers. And besides that I am amazed that my videos reach ALL the corners of the world. I never-ever thought that that would happen. Kind regards, Emiel ❤️

[@ElvisPress]

Thanks for watching Lysette! ;-)

[@mrchips4489]

Congratulations on the 10,000 subscribers! Also to James Burton for being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Every time James Burton is mentioned anywhere it always reminds me of Elvis saying: "Play it, James!" a fond memory. Sorry to hear that the Elvis Is Everywhere segment is done; thank you for doing it all this time, it was fun to see all of the various places where Elvis can be found. Happy for the fans who are looking forward to the AI Elvis experience. Doesn't sound like it'd be my cuppa but then as an old Elvis fan, I saw his various TV shows (and his movies) in real time & that's good enough for me...great actually. :)

[@ElvisPress]

Hi Mr Chips, Thank you for your congratulations. Perhaps the Elvis Is Everywhere segment will return in 2026, but I want to focus onto something else in 2025. I am not sure what..., but give me some time to think of it! ;-). The A.I. show is opening in London, and from what i've been told the show will travel the world to three other destinations. Next stops are Germany, Japan and the USA. I know that the German city will be Berlin, but I haven't got a clue which city they are planning for the USA. As soon as there is more news I will tell my viewers. I will visit the show in London, and because it is a completely new Art form, I am very curious. It looks like it is going to be a fun experience. Thanks for watching my videos and ALL the best. Kind regards, Emiel Maier (The Netherlands)

[@ElvisPress]

Oh...that's cool! I know of other viewers who have tickets for the Elvis Evolution show as well. I am really looking forward to the reactions of the visitors. I myself will visit the show on July 10 (at 19:00 hours). Something nice to look forward to in 2025. :-)). This is a completely new Art form, and I am curious ! Regards, Emiel

[@Wilkins-Micawber]

Enjoyed the Netflix show very much. Wish they wouldn’t knock the movies so much. The more dramatic roles proved he could act while the musicals were sort of early versions of what would become music videos with a connecting storyline. All were apparently profitable. Hal Wallis once said - A Presley picture is the only sure thing in Hollywood. Just a pity they didn’t give him more challenging roles with more heavyweight co-stars.

[@stever1791]

This was another Great Elvis Presley News Report - Thanks Emiel

[@ElvisPress]

that's very nice of you Steve! I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@AWinkandSmile]

CONGRATS !!! Another fun and informative show. Saw the documentary and it was pretty good. For some reason, like the movie they chose to exclude the country western music that influenced Elvis so much along with R&B and Gospel. Also they made it sound as if his career came to an end in 1968. The Vegas opening was another high point as was Hawaii Aloha show and so many great engagements and recordings ! Like the movies Parker just kept pushing shows and tours, mismanagement. My other criticism was including Priscilla giving her flip flop remarks and bringing nothing new to the table. Also when discussing his relationship with his mom they didn't mention his twin Jessie Garon who was still born which was part of the reason their relationship was so close. The movies were fun and light entertainment and all not as bad as they made them sound.

[@ElvisPress]

Thanks for your compliment and to you I would like to say what a well-substantiated response you give! Thanks you so much for that. Kind regards, and till next time. Emiel Maier.

Wow! I see an increase of viewers who have left a comment in which they state that they are going to attend the show. I too will be visiting ! (The plan is July 10, so I can combine my London visit with my trip to Blackpool (The Tower Ballroom! ). Just like you, I am really looking forward 'cause I think it will be done with respect and great care. All the best and kind regards, Emiel

[@ElvisPress]

Hi David, Hey...thanks for the tip about BBC Radio 2! I was not aware of that, but I will keep a close eye on it. I always BBC 1 on Saturdays, because we are fans of Strictly Come Dancing. Prior to the show they show an advertisement for BBC4 / I-player and it features (though short) a few tiny bits with Elvis. He can be heard saying : "You liked that..., don't you!". I don't know which show they are broadcasting but it is always good to see Elvis in such a trailer! Do you have the link of BBC Radio 2 with the Elvis selection of songs? Kind regards, Emiel

[@davidgibbs7232]

I don't have a link but you can find it on Google by putting in BBC radio two Elvis 90th birthday song selection.👍

The show will be on New Year's Day 3-5pm on BBC2 with host Vernon Kay. You can select up to 5 choices, that was so hard to select, Emiel.

[@AngelAlbizu-j5j]

Hi Emiel, great and informative video, maintaining your high quality standard! Expected though ugh? 😂 I watched the Netflix documentary, nothing new on it, but I must say I liked it a lot, it’s a positive view on our man, and it should do nothing but good for his image with casual viewers, I believe. About the trivia this month, the jumpsuit you are talking about is the famous Sundial, also known as Aztec, suit, first worn by Elvis in 1974 but most recognized for his extensive use during 1977. The leg design is a tribute to the Chrysler building! See you next month pal, looking forward to the 2024 year-round wrap-up on your part!!! 🎉

[@ElvisPress]

Thanks for your view on the Netflix doc, and your participation in the trivia! Indeed...., see you next month ! ;-). Regards, Emiel

[@catherinepage2676]

I watched the Netflix show. My main reasons for disappointment were the presence of his ex-wife & people talking over his songs. On the other side, I loved hearing from Springsteen. They persist in saying his films got worse before the 68 Special, & dismiss the last 3. All of which are well worth watching.

[@tcbsince73]

It should be remembered that Elvis’ estate gets no royalties for his pre-1973 recordings.

[@ElvisPress]

...keeping this in mind..., than 50 million is an amazing amount. If there had not been a 1973-buy-out..., Elvis would be much higher on the list...

[@DMC-K7]

That is incorrect. They renegotiated in the early 1990’s and now receive royalties.

[@DumasEntertainment531]

Gene Doucette snuck the Chrisler Building design into the Sundial Suit.

Emiel, do you purchase any of these sets you show? Would love to see some of your collection if you do!

[@ElvisPress]

Hi Miles. Good question! ;-) I used to buy much more when I was younger. Nowadays I only buy the (expensive.) book set releases of FTD. I have all the "The Making Of..." sets, and I am looking forward adding The Making Of King Creole to my collection in the coming month. I also buy a bootleg once in a while, but not as many as in the early days. It really has to be something 'special'. Kind regards, Emiel

[@scottjenkins3095]

Really enjoyed the new Netflix doco. A few quibbles, but overall I thought it was excellent. Far better than the one in theatres two years ago. Too much Priscilla and unrelated shit, though. And, surprisingly, it intimates what I've always said about the '68 special: the black leather stuff is great, the rest of it is crap. Well worth a watch. As for A Star Is Born, Elvis himself backed out of it when he realised how much work would've been involved. Parker just took the hit.

[@southerngirl9941]

As far as I'm aware Elvis never backed away from too much work. Quite the opposite! He was a hard worker, even more so if he was convinced of a project. See the '68 Special. He would have needed a supporting mentor like Steve Binder for that film, someone who gave him the confidence to do it. Because I think he REALLY would have wanted to do it, it could have been a game changer, and he would have been terrific I'm sure.

[@Axeman517]

As I understand it, Elvis didn’t want to a A Star Is Born. A few of Elvis’ circle have said that, and it sounds plausible to me. Perhaps his health was too much of an issue by 1975 for him to want to meet the challenge.
