Jewish Elvises - this is Jelvis but Schmelvis was first

This is an entertaining interview with Jelvis, the Jewish Elvis impersonator. Here's a sample. You can read the whole interview by clicking on the link below.

"Given what we now know about Elvis’s ancestry — with his matrilineal great-great-grandmother having been Jewish — isn’t it a bit redundant to say you’re the Jewish Elvis?

I think redundancy is good in rock ’n’ roll and in the arts. If you find something that works, you just beat it to death. And in this case it’s already dead."

Elvis in Dubai

For Dubai Elvis impersonator fans (and promoters).. apart from being able to buy Elvis memorabilia they will soon get to see a new show - The 3 Elvises

I'd love to know which 3 Elvises are appearing in this show.

"I am also planning a World Concert Tour of a show called ‘The 3 Elvises’ and would love to make contact with promoters in Dubai. It comprises three of the best Elvises [Elvis impersonators] in the world singing onstage together Elvis songs from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, as well as solos in costumes for each era."

Simulating Elvis

This is quite an interesting article from The Tyee about a guy attending his first Celebrity Impersonators Convention at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.

His first glimpse into the impersonating world came at a lively Sunday gospel meeting in southern British Columbia led by an Elvis impersonator. He has since started photographing impersonators..

He says:
"Many celebrity impersonators (or "tribute artists" as they are also called) are drawn into their impersonating careers from the replication of just such a moment: when other people tell them that they look like someone famous."

Elvis sightings - Kuwait news

The world never tires of hearing about Elvis..

I found an article from a Kuwaiti newspaper that talks about Elvis sightings.. after his death. Could these people be Elvis impersonators?

The article says:
"Most people who believe Elvis is still alive believe that Elvis is spending the remainder of his life in solitude somewhere in the United States. To back this up they have suggested that Elvis' middle name is spelled incorrectly on his tomb.[1] On the death certificate it is spelled 'Aron' - the same as his birth certificate, even though his estate prefers the use of 'Aaron'."
