Kettering Elvis impersonator, Aged Seven, Auditions for Britain's Got Talent

A seven year old Elvis impersonator, Bradley Goode, is set auditioning to perform on the popular ITV talent show Britain's Got Talent. The article says:

"Bradley started to enjoy Elvis one year when his granddad was playing his music in the car on the way to a holiday and he just loved it.

"So every year on holiday he wanted to perform Elvis songs and just wanted to get more of his things and an outfit.

"It is extra special because Bradley's other grandfather lives in America and hasn't seen him since he was two, but is coming over on holiday and will see him audition."

Elvis impersonator makes third bid to win Ontario seat

Dorian Baxter is an Elvis impersonator, an Anglican preacher and a Canadian federal election candidate - it's that simple.

Baxter is making his third bid to enter federal politics in Newmarket-Aurora, the Ontario riding held by Belinda Stronach since 2004.

"In terms of electing an Elvis impersonator into the House of Commons, I have to remind people, Elvis has not left the building. He wants to get into the building - the Parliament building."

The article also states:

"While Baxter is no longer wearing colourful Elvis jumpsuits as he campaigns door to door - he did so in 2004 - he still has the tell-tale pork-chop sideburns Presley sported in Las Vegas during the '70s.

The race four years ago also saw Baxter comb his hair into an Elvis pompadour and incorporate election-themed songs inspired by the King.

Baxter has literally changed his tune this time around."
