Elvis impersonator Jeff Bodner doesn't quite make final 10

This Elvis impersonator, Jeff Bodner also made it into the final 23 at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist competition in Memphis recently. I am keen to introduce you to not just the final 10 but the impersonators who did the best! The were the prelimanary winners from 23 heats leading up to the finals.

Jeff won the preliminary round at Penticton, British Columbia, Canada during their heat held June 23 & 24, 2007.

Don't forget that for the first time ever, Elvis Presley Enterprises held the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest during Elvis Week.

Below you'll find a link to the official web site of Jeff Bodner called "the Essence of Elvis"

Here Jeff says: "Singing for Jeff started from an early age. Jeff had great fortune to have a mother who was very gifted musically and encouraged him to follow his voice. At the ripe old age of five he was stage at his first talent show, by six he was on television with his grade one class and sang solo. Jeff has now been singing for thirty six years and has always had a love of old fifties Rock'n'Roll. Elvis' music was often played while Jeff was growing up and he grew to appreciate it."

This story is pretty typical from what I have read of the best of them.. These guys have such an admiration for the King and it shows.. you couldn't be this good without it. When I say good, I mean the best in the world. We're talking the top 25 or so from 85,000 Elvis impersonators worldwide.
