However talented..they just broke the mould when Elvis was born....you cannot replicate perfection.....well done those impersonators though.

Ben is a good friend of mine for several years. Im so very happy you weren't disappointed. As a TRIBUTE ARTIST, Ladies and Gents, Ben is amazing, respectful, funny as hell.xx ❤❤❤

[@jeffshort4565]

I saw Ben Portsmouth after a 2 year wait due to covid and was not let down.......absolutely amazing

[@Germania72]

I give them props for daring to impersonate Elvis. Let's face it, Elvis was not only handsome, but he was also beautiful (there's a video with Jerry Reed talking about him as the most handsome man he'd ever seen and joked that he wished he was a girl LOL) and on top of that, he had a very eccentric sense of fashion. It's difficult to not look like a caricature or sound empty like Johnny Bravo.

Too bad he was gay/ bi with make up, mascara, hair dye, face lift etc and with Nick Adams...... More like the Queen of Rock n Roll. 😆 If natural in real life, He actually doesn't look anything like how he portrayed himself to be on stage or in public. Took ALOT of Work! 😆 Cybil Shepherd, lady who played elvira, Natalie Wood and others thought he was gay when they were with him in the 1950's because he could never get turned on to girls. The opposite illusion later created to hide himself from that. Hell, even Pricella Said he didn't touch her romantically or sexually for 6 years straight after being married. He definitely had some gay tendencies in the closet that they could hide back then from public or at least tried too better.

They will never be able to replace Elvis.

I don't think their trying to replace him have you ever heard of keeping someone's legacy alive and bringing the world to know who that person was? That's what their doing for Elvis not trying to replace him a lot you are just negative towards some of the Elvis tribute artist for no reason.

I'm a singer, that last high note was ELVIS, i miss him... I learned today that the Colonel was pissed that Streisand went to Elvis first about staring in a star is born. He would not let Elvis star unless he got top billing. Elvis was devastated, it was his last chance for anything during that time. Streisand could have whipped him into shape and saved his life. One thing Elvis respects it is real talent, Damn, we were cheated again.

I saw Ben Portsmouth live on the Gold Coast Queensland Australia, and after having seen many many tribute artists over the years, (and being one myself in the 1990's) He is without a doubt the Ultimate Elvis., voice, looks, presence, he has it all. His portrayal of the 1977 Rapid City concert, was beyond belief! Cody Ray Slaughter as the 1950's Elvis (when Cody was younger) and I like Bill Cherry, for stage presence and personality! My top 3.....

[@steveray7770]

Cody was a good 50s act when he was considerably younger, but the only one I've heard who could capture Elvis' early voice (not exactly, of course) is Jake Rowley.

Being an Elvis tribute myself Ben has best voice of all hitting them high notes and tones [his English accent is only thing i hear once in a while that bugs me lol but 95% there]. Looks very close too except shows too much chest but great facial side profiles especially. Trent Carlini was top 3 for me personally as well

Impersonating Elvis is a strange sub-art form -- not to be disparaged because its no easy feat to master -- not only the look, the moves, but in a few rare cases even the voice. I give these performers a lot of credit for being the best they can be. And if you have to imitate someone it might as well be Elvis.

All these performers showcased are excellent at their interpretation of Elvis Presley.

A performer needs an audience. Would anyone like to listen to my interpretive efforts. A little feed back(harsh or kind) from those who enjoy this kind of music would be most welcome, thank you.
