OMG Slim Whitman?????? He yodelled. Sad so sad.

You don't have to whisper Linda, just shout it out loud 'I don't like Elvis ' I could never stand the man ! or all the stupid impersonators coming out of the woodwork. To me they are complete 'Nutters' Also I can't stand 'Plum in the Mouth ' Cliff Richard who also tried to be another Elvis, I am glad Hal mentioned Slim Whitman ' Now there was real talent ' I could mention many more who sadly are not with us today.

Cliff was great (in his own mind) pity hardly anyone else thought so. I always thought he tried too hard to keep up with younger and better singers. Maddy

I'd gladly trample ova all Elvis's cd's (well most) and as for Cliff.........pompous git! sorry but that's how i feel abt him

No I did,nt like him either, he could sing,but without any passion or feeling,more like a robot.The girls liked his looks but apart from that he was,nt much good,other people could and did sing far better, Slim Whitman Comes to mind. Hal.

Im not that keen!!

My Gran used to call them his 'sideboards' Not sure if it was a mistake or whether she meant it linda

I hate the pics of him with sideburns!!!

No one in our house likes him. I always thought he was overrated and came across as slimy.

Wouldnt say I was a fan but I do like Devil in disguise and Las Vagas...

Nor me Gwynne That smirky, smarmy face.. Yuck. and when he attempts to dance!!!.... Now I've gone over the top lol Linda

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.
