Interuption to news on top 10 Elvis impersonators in Memphis contest

Yes, I have been trying to think for days about anyone that has been so admired in history that they have had SO many people try to copy or impersonate them. Can you think of anyone?

In this case, I am talking about Elvis impersonators of course. But realistically, who else in history has had the impact of Elvis Presley?

The funny thing is that everything about him is as appealing today as it was 30 years ago. He was a fine looking man.. he could sing and he had moves way ahead of his time. I reckon that if someone similar came onto the music scene today they would take the breath away of music lovers around the world again.

But you know what?.. I just can't see that happening.. he was differentt- he was unique. As great as he was, he seemed a normal kind of a guy.. people liked him. He wasn't arrogant by any stretch of the imagination.. and he had everything going for him..

This world of the Elvis impersonator really does occupy my mind because I find it so fascinating. I mean.. can you believe there are 85,000 out there around the globe? And you can be any age, any gender.. it doesn't matter. People just love what this guy offered and if you can replicate it well - then they will love you too. You just need to be good and we've been seeing the great ones - the final 10 of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest!

So, I just had to put these words out there. How great that I can do this so easily? I have to thank a guy named Ed Dale for teaching me just how to..

And I will continue being a loyal Elvis impersonator fan also.. My aim is to bring the best and latest in news to you..

Meet Elvis impersonator Paul Larcombe

Elvis Impersonator Paul Larcombe won his heat at Blackpool in the U.K. - he came top of 64 other Elvis impersonators from around the world at this particular heat. He became one of the final 10 Elvis impersonators to compete for the title of "Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist". The competition took place recently in Memphis to mark the 30 year anniversary of the death of the King himself - Elvis Presley.

"Entertaining is in his blood, but he only chose to concentrate on Elvis when he entered the Blackpool competition." He was, however, a seasoned entertainer and had left his job in the building trade two years prior to concentrate on being a full-time entertainer.

"I decided I wasn't going to go into it with the suit and wig that I had at the time, so I spent £1,300 on two wigs - you have to cut them to suit your head shape. I'm still cutting my wig 12 months later - you daren't take too much off," he says.

"I went into the Blackpool competition with my good wig and my good suit, and I actually started to do the make-up as well - I'd never worn make-up in my life.

"I just tried to get it right - replica jewellery, replica boots, the voice, the moves, the mannerisms - in whatever I've done I've always tried to get things right, and it's the same with this. A job's not worth doing if you can't do it right.

"I've always thought that - if I thought I was going to look stupid I wouldn't have gone out there."

Not bad for being a fairly new Elvis impersonator - congratulations on getting into the top 10!

Elvis impersonator - Donny Edwards

Elvis impersonator Donny Edwards grew up listening to Elvis and watching his movies. What an impression this would make on his life..

His uncle had even met Elvis in person in the army - not something many can claim..

From a young age people would tell Donny he looked like Elvis. He worked hard at learning to imitate the Kings voice and his moves.

His website says:

"In May 2005, when �The Young and The Restless� daytime soap opera was scouting for the look and sound of Elvis, Donny was offered the job immediately after he auditioned. He surprised many of his fans as they watched their favorite soap opera only to see Donny Edwards on the show with a singing part."

And then he started winning awards - one after the other.

"His incredible look, singing, humbleness, charm and southern speaking voice will make you feel like you are with the King".
