ELVIS PRESLEY JAILHOUSE ROCK REACTION

[@joannrumbley1490]

Elvis was 22 in 1957. He could really rock. He felt it in his whole body Elvis had to move. He was the whole package incredible talent and personality.

[@lindaflores3391]

I love this song! Another song you will definitely like is Elvis Presley's concert in Hawaii (Aloha in Hawaii video) the name of the song is Glory Glory Hallelujah. He takes that song ito another level! (MUST HEAR) Very Very emotional and moving! I heard a story about back in the day when a married couple took their friends another married couple to go see Elvis in concert they're lady friend actually passed out! So emotional that when I hear that song myself I have tears in my eyes.

[@PYC000]

It was so easy to love Elvis. He was so natural and loved what he did. He was such a gift.

[@garylindsey5174]

Often imitated but never duplicated!

[@allanjones1680]

He was the real thing!

[@TheSpitmitt]

You are right...Elvis was a great entertainer like nobody else...thanks for this.

[@ruthsimon7035]

ELVIS the greatest performer and Singer until now! He was so cool and sexy, nobody come close, never until to the end of time! Great reaction! Thank you!

[@josephmastando358]

He was 22 years old here. From the movie JAILHOUSE ROCK

[@OGMarley172]

Indeed! Love this film remember watching this with my dad when I was younger even tho I'm a huge elvis fan the song I couldn't get out of my head was one more day that mickey shaughnessy sang in there cell!! RIP ELVIS

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love it that you got to see him so young back-to-back with some of the later stuff. This guy was around for a long time despite his early death. He was an amazing man and one thing a lot of people don't realize is that not only he attracted the best musicians available, he did all of his own arranging. I mean he would pick songs that other people wrote and sometimes they wrote him specifically for him but the whole point is that he would take them and make them his own but he does all the ranging. Or for the most part anyway. He was really gifted that way and not only was a decent guitar player he could play baseball as well and he can play drums and he was a really good piano player.

[@lesliesylvan]

1957 You did't know what he could bring until this. It's about time we got to see him young and talented! This is why he's called the "KIng!"

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

I'm picturing walking into a diner in 1957... dropping a coin in the jukebox... and playing Jailhouse Rock. How cool would that be?? We need a time machine! 👍🏽🇺🇸

Check out Elvis singing “Are You Lonesome Tonight” 1968 Come Back show (the black leather outfit on the small stage). I think he mixed up a lyric and he was off making up new verses, laughing, joking with the girls in the close audience AND STILL SOUNDING GREAT !!

[@yvonnestyle1554]

Your reaction to this was so cute! I could tell you really liked it. Keep listening to Elvis, he’s the King for a reason.

[@elsdebruin8929]

I am from 1954 living in the Netherlands. Remember, this is before internet, we had no telefhone, we had no TV. And we did know Elvis and we loved him. 😀

[@clydeb7713]

Thats the brash young 22yr old Elvis baby! He would change mudic forever and 42yrs after his death he still remains relevant.

[@jehosephine]

His swiveling hips got him bannned sometimes. LOL

[@jeffk.9075]

This song was there at the birth of rock n roll and still is the absolute epitome of what rock is.

[@vivienhallberg200]

Great to see the younger generation appreciating the greatest entertainer ever to grace this planet. Thank you for your reaction and appreciation. stay safe. Love from the UK.

[@sandyleewhite]

Elvis had so many sides to his entertainment abilities, the serious side, when he was trying to convey an important message, his acting in movies, his fun side, especially when younger, & loved to dance, & so much more!!! Great reaction !!

[@MrSmartAlec]

This is one example of why Elvis was the king of rock & roll.

[@kathyharze4308]

He was just 22 when he did that song from the film Jailhouse rock same name one of his early films some great songs came from that film like you said he was a great entertainer a true legend stay safe 😷✌✌

[@sharonkay8638]

You got it J, listen to those lyrics! 22 years old and frightening the arse off the older generation. Imagine seeing this in 1957 - the year before I was born! Pure genius! If you haven’t already, can you react to Return to sender, Love me, One night with you and Are you lonesome tonight. All early songs and every one a gem.🥂

[@patriciadowning4036]

This is the original Elvis.

[@seanfitzpatrick4730]

You are definitely right Elvis will always be at his best in his younger days jailhouse Rock a great movie and great song Elvis acting was great in this movie play the young rebel unbelievable have a great day 👍🏼😎😁✋

[@MsTeaRex]

Talk about Elvis having the moves. In the beginning on his TV appearances they wouldn't film him below the waist.

[@JamesJStCyr]

I was 12 years old and went the local theatre to see this. Everyone it seemed from my junior high school was there. When this part came on the whole theatre went insane.Kids got out of their seats and just started to dance. They stopped the movie and everyone sat back down in their seats.This whole thing was repeated to or three times.Finally they just gave up and let us just get down. I remember it like it was yesterday so cool and so much fun!

[@descendantoffools9767]

You've seen an older Elvis and now a very young Elvis, check out Elvis in the 60's with another huge 60's icon. Check out Come On Everybody- Elvis and Ann-Margret in HD

[@otisdylan9532]

There are so many good Elvis songs that I could recommend, but I'll just say that 2 good early rockers are "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel", and a good early ballad is "I Was the One".

[@vtbn53]

Who learned a lesson when she broke my heart?...

[@FBodStudios]

This is why they called him “Elvis the Pelvis” back in the day and why, when he appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, the cameramen were given strict instructions to only show him from the waist up

[@christinekelly8766]

I remember that well

[@maryannhurley8998]

This was actually the very first video ever produced. I am 64 years old I was only 1 when this came out and here I am 64 years later and still listening to it. This back in 1957 was a no no that is why Elvis became enemies with the establishment that hated him. He was great, he opened the door for every other singer that came up after him. This song was number 1 back in 1957 and believe it or not number 1 again in 2005. Elvis will live forever. I am glad you younger people are taking notice of the man that started it all.

[@reginasingleton2566]

Found your channel about 2weeks ago and now I'm binging all you have. I really enjoy your reactions and your personality.. I may be mistaken but I believe you just graduated with your bachelors degree. If so---congrats to the max. I predict an awe future for you. Peace and stay safe.

[@kerryn6714]

It’s impossible to sit still when this track plays & I love how you couldn’t sit still either. Queen had a Elvis tribute song called “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, I’d love to see you review that one. Cheers this was great Jay! Stay safe✌️🇦🇺🙃

[@aaf1548]

My mother still remembers when she saw Elvis for the first time on the Ed Sullivan show and they could only show him from the waist up because of his pelvis moves, hence “Elvis the Pelvis” . He was really talented and just sad how his life ended but his music lives on

[@eugeniasyro7315]

He was ALL THAT. A Legend. Much loved and much missed.

[@kathyharze4308]

@@jeffk.9075 It was a song to dance along to not not to pick faults at when you think of the crap they get away with nowadays

[@827dusty]

This is his debut. He was only in his early 20s. This was the start of everything. Little did we know, how much of an impact He would have on the world. He was just a kid . This was 1956, and released a few months later in 1957. I think. The movie "Jail House Rock" would soon follow. Take a guess at who had the lead role...yes, Elvis Pressley.

[@alameas6358]

Sorry to correct a little bit, but this wasn't his debut! It was his third movie! He made "Love Me Tender" and "Loving you" before he did this one.

[@2zxodcfm]

Not that I'm old......but I saw this at the theatre in 57. It created quite a memory. Especially when combined with Scene B which had THIS 8 year in front of that same event lean up against a parking meter out theater front only to rest my not yet fully formed hand on the biggest wad of expelled nose excrement ever ejected by any human being (or maybe even a BigFoot). Certainly a traumatic event for any adult. But for the kid, ME....I silently delivered it to the nearest younger kid for safekeeping and carried on with the party atmosphere. Thanks for the special day, Elvis!

[@trixier6505]

Elvis paved the way for Rock "n Roll! Parents were worried! Girls were screaming!! There had been nothing like this sensation before! The King still rules!

[@joannedungan8381]

With a eyebrow lift he could get the crowd up and going. He was just pure entertainment

Notice how he is singing. What other famous pop star sang like that? Michael Jackson. It's obvious that Elvis had a major impact on MJ.

Elvis the pelvis is what he was called and this video shows us why lol. I don't know if you have reacted to In The Ghetto but that is a wonderful song that I love. Its another that is different, but then Elvis is a great legend for a reason and his wonderful voice is the best of them. You have a fantastic range of music you react too and I love watching your face as you listen, your videos are the only reaction videos I watch and I thank God that I saw you first.

[@jonm1114]

Elvis had a long and fruitful career and recorded a lot of great songs with all different sounds and feels. It's all good stuff. But if you really want to get a sense for the Elvis Presley that electrified the youth of the world back in the 1950s, you need to listen to some more of his early recordings. "Jailhouse Rock" is a great introduction. Some other great choices would be "Hound Dog", "Blue Suede Shoes", "All Shook Up", and, to slow it down some, "Love Me Tender".

[@kaiakreations]

@Jayveetv This was published in 1957 and it was said the parents, including mom's, were outraged at all of the hip action & gyrating Elvis brought to music. I was born in 1961 & I find it funny that my own mom, as well as her mom friends...and the other moms in our block were all swooning & silly google eyed at anything-everything Elvis. One of mom's friends broke into his hotel room and stole his sheets, haha... ...so as a kid in the 60s, I never saw mom's getting upset at my friend's & myself for listening to his music. Instead it was embarrassing how the adult women carried on, like crazy fans. 🤣

Growing with all of it, good for you, Grammie

[@larrywt656]

This is actually a scene from the movie Jailhouse Rock, which is a different version from the record. I actually always kinda preferred this version with the backing vocals to the album version, which is just Elvis' lead vocal with no backing vocals. Not only was this one of Elvis' biggest hits, but it's also one of the biggest hit records of all time. Jailhouse Rock and King Creole were Elvis' best movies. They were both made before his stint in the Army. Once he came back from the army in 1960, he ended up making a bunch of movies that were basically all the same story with just different settings and character names. He never got another chance to make the kind of strong films he was making in the 50s. It's really too bad because he had the chops to be a great actor as well as singer.

[@patricialabbe1416]

Colonel Tom Parker was to blame for the subsequent crap movies. Was afraid bis appearing in good movies would cook the golden goose from which Parker profited greatly. Also why Elvis never toured outside US. Parker's ctizenship was questionable and he was afraid he wouldn't get back in.

[@kentclark6420]

This one and 'Trying to Get To You' are the only Elvis songs you're reacted to that I'm much interested in, but then I'm impartial towards the older stuff. There are so many great songs of his you haven't done, yet. Try 'Don't Be Cruel' and 'All Shook Up', 'Stuck on You', just to name a few. 'Return to Sender'.

[@LM-hb6yn]

There's so many good songs he did in such a wide variety of music styles, it's hard to just pick one. I'm going to search for the my favorites from all different phases of his life for you to watch and react to, starting with Unchained Melody. At the end of his life, he performed "Unchained Melody" in his final concert when he was extremely sick and looked awful... but his voice was even better than ever! And his range was AMAZING. Find that concert video... don't be put off by his looks at that point. His voice just kept getting better as he aged.

[@melodykubiak5850]

Suggestions: "My Way" "You Gave Me a Mountain" "American Trilogy" "What Now My Love" "Can't Help Falling in Love" all from the Aloha from Hawaii via satellite concert, 1973.

[@corawheeler9355]

Another good clip from the movie Jailhouse Rock is, "You're So Square (Baby I Don't Care)"

[@Yesica1993]

I've only seen bits & pieces of his movies. They were all kinda silly & just fun. I've always wondered what he might have been able to do if he'd been given more serious material. I think he might have made at least a fairly good actor. Most of the stuff he did just seemed to be showcases for his songs. Nothing wrong with that. But I still wonder what might have been.

[@larrywt656]

The four movies he made in the 50s (including Jailhouse Rock) were excellent. While they all had the music scenes, they also had really strong storylines and excellent acting. It was the movies he made after coming back from the army in 1960 that were just silly formula pieces. That's why he quit making them because he couldn't stand the fluff anymore.
