(Whispers) Elvis? Linda

*waves hand very high in the air and jumps up and down* Can't stand him Gwynne

Elvis probably did have a good voice but some of the garbage he sang (and even worse acted in!) managed to put me off him. When he died I worked in an office with the secretary of the Elvis Fan Club and she was devastated.

Hi Gwynne, You were braver than me, I whispered. Goodness New, I bet you had a laugh a minute that month then!!! Linda

put me top of the i hate elvis list

I dreaded going in to work.

Does anyone else think he couldn't move to music at all,he always looked awkward and out of rhythm to me ? Maddy

I can take him or leave him depending on my mood...lol BUT what I dont understand is how his fan club is still growing after being gone for 30 years. They say that every year more and more people make their way to Gracelands to pay their tribute. Lisa Marie has recorded her voice on one of his records for release tomorrow.

whos he

Yep me too Linda!! Caz xx

Add me to your list, I must admit he does very little for me Dee x

Billy Fury sang better than him.....wonder if anyone remembers him ( corse I don't farrrrrrrrrr to young lol) I do like love me tender though.

I'm on your list, but, to be fair, he only came to my attention in the 1970's when he was all blobby. Tina x

I am an Elvis fan from the beginning. However I have no desire to visit Gracelands (my brother gave me a photo of Elvis grave taken in 1978) - I passed it on. The majority of his films were a load of rubbish (blame it on Col Parker) but gave pleasure. I absolutely loathe the impressionists (with the exception of Freddie Starr) - I could close my eyes with Freddie and think it was Elvis. I only thought he was good to look at in his early thirties. Never understood Priscilla's parents allowing a 14 yr old to live in Gracelands - that was weird. Even the big entertainers used to say he was magic on stage and I think because he could sing most anything, ballads, blues, rock and roll and hymns he attracted a wider audience than most. My children insist the only films they saw as children were Elvis. They are telling porky pies - they did see others!

Lil, I am with you on Billy Fury, he was ......................... Dee ;-))

Linda, this is very scary, I have just found my 5 and 8 year old watching an Elvis film, Be afraid, be very afraid lol! Caz xxx

I don't either......probably because my sister and I didn't like each other at all until we were adults...........and she loves him!! I agree about the look alikes..........weird, especially the japanese ones!:))) xx

I NEVER DID like Elvis.... my sister however, was so in love with the man that she used to dress and look like him. I have to admit though that he was a nice man, good looking and caring. And his songs now make me smile, but that I believe is nostalgia. Deanna X

Don't worry Caz at the risk of being stoned, I think that's the age group it appeals to. (Ducks down behind wall) Linda

While we are confessing I can't stand Cliff either. Gwynne
