Great reaction. Elvis didn't often respond well to choreography. He was more used to responding to music with his own movements. He matched up with the rhythm and beats because he was a professional musician; it came naturally. Whenever there were other dancers a choreographer more often would match them to what Elvis was doing.

This is his natural move. That’s the way he is. Nobody tell him what to do because this is his nature and he is talented. Nobody like him. This is a king of rock ‘n’ roll roll don’t forget.

Elvis was a natural dancer-moved to the music. That’s what started all the ruckus in the first place-no white singers moved they just stood and sang. Elvis grew up in a Pentecostal church where moving to the music was what you did and it was seen as being filled with the Holy Spirit. I think that is why it confused Elvis when people thought his moves were vulgar and why he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong. He found it funny, and often chuckled, when girls would scream at his moves. As far as his movies, I heard an interview by one of the early choreographers brought in for Jailhouse Rock say that Elvis wanted to feel natural with his moves and so he showed the choreographer how he would move singing the song and the choreographer worked the other dancers into and around Elvis’s moves. He said they choreographed that number together. For his live shows-it is ALL Elvis! I know he liked to have little competition with Ronnie Tutt, his drummer, to see if he could move to all Ronnie’s crazy drum parts. That’s really fun yo watch-Elvis always smiles and laughs-he had so much admiration for the other musicians in his band. You can tell they really enjoyed one another.❤ Elvis was just given so many gifts. He also really did play the organ and the bongos as well as other instruments.

When Elvis came it was mostly radio. TV was new and surely not in every home and where it was it was small black and white with poor picture. Movies were the way to really see the stars at their best. Elvis made his stardom without anything but his pure talent and voice! Without the all the channels we have today! And he is here today! Strongly! Made 110 million last year!😘♥️🇫🇮

Elvis said when he was singing the way that he moved was what he was feeling at the time, it was just a natural thing for him. I watched another documentary and they said that Elvis did most of the choreography on Jailhouse Rock.

I was alive during this time period and the men of my family members and relatives had the same dark hair and sideburns like Elvis at that time. I also went to one of his concerts back in the 1970s. Fun fact: Little Richard was good friends with Elvis and said Elvis told Little Richard You have nothing to worry about. You will always be the King of Rock and Roll

I loooooove this song and ELVIS dance moves, he was a natural dancer! Yes, ELVIS had the total package, and he was too smooth! Thank you! Great reaction!

Elvis never required or wanted a choreographer. Sometimes the studio would hire one and they'd help the actresses and others on set. Elvis just vibed and the music flowed through him. Whereas Michael Jackson hired and spent millions on choreographers himself, Elvis was a natural supernova. He just was able to work in any music genre and vibe to it and young people of all races went nuts. Elvis introduced a NEW DEMOGRAPHIC. YOUNG PEOPLE. He wasnt singing to white or black people. The music was for young people all races and walks of life. That is partly why most reactions are super positive nowadays from young people when they react to Elvis. Young people just relate to one another....

His dance moves are a tribute to Jackie Wilson who is actually in the audience for this portion of the movie. Fun in Acapulco! At the end of the song when Elvis bowed, the bow was for Jackie Wilson!

This is from the movie “Fun in Acapulco” and most of it is coreographed. On stage (in his shows) he did whatever he wanted to. He was so talented, that he could move so amazingly while singing. Try and watch “Polk Salad Annie” from a Las Vegas show 1970. He is the GOAT❤️

I love your reactions!! Elvis was a gift from God!! Most Beautiful man ever!!

Elvis was beyond great 💕

Elvis Presley never played out his moves when it came to dancing he just went with

Choreographed for his movies based on his dancing/movement style (Elvis choreographed himself sometimes) while in concert, it was all Elvis; his movements were naturally his own & weren't rehearsed or choreographed. Btw, there was no such thing as MTV type videos 'back in the day' albeit many would argue that some of Elvis's movie performances (Jailhouse Rock for example) were early examples of what would later become MTV type video performances as were the 'stand up' and 'sit down' portions of Elvis's 1968 Comeback Special which if you've not watched any of them yet, you should as you'll definitely enjoy them.

This is from the movie Fun in Alcupoca. Elvis didn't like the choreography for Jailhouse Rock, so he did it himself. He said he just moved the way the music made him feel

Elvis seldom had anything choreographed, and if he did, it was him directing it. He always added an extra "Elvis" movement that was not choreographed. Thanks for this reaction. I love when you do these!! 🥰

It was a movie and he usually did the choreography

This was choreographed to a degree. Elvis always put his own "spin" on the dancing, though. If he went off what was a part of the choreography, they rarely did another take, he was that good. As for live performances, that was a whole different story. The musicians always had to keep their eyes on him to see what exactly he was doing to keep up. Nothing was really choreographed per say.

Elvis never had lessons either in singing nor dancing.....He was pure and raw....the real deal💯🥇

Elvis was and will always be the best

From the movie, «Fun in Acapulco», 1963. His co-star was Ursula Andress, the first «James Bond»-girl from the Bond-movie «Dr.No». The only time Elvis took choreography, was by Alex Romero, in the movie «Jailhouse Rock» (1957)

I WAS WAITING for you to get to THIS particular one!!!

I think the dancing in the film clips will be choreographed, but on stage it was all Elvis. He liked to add elements of karate into his moves (I believe he was a black belt) as well as his other signature moves.

No choreography. He was a Natural Dancer. It was a scene from a movie

Here for the King an your wonderful reactions to him x

Apparently the Jail House Rock dance scene Elvis did the choreography. for it . On stage it was just him feeling the music . Check out Elvis and the Black Community , as well as Elvis the King Of Kindness . They will show you Elvis' roots , the music that inspired him and how in whole he gave back because he never forgot those roots . Both those documentaries are well worth the watch .

I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Awesome reaction. I had to set some fool straight last night people trying to dirty Elvis name not on my watch what sickens me the most is the people that are talking smack know nothing of what they are speaking of, i have spent my entire adult life speaking out to people that try and judge a beautiful soul that is not here to defend himself and don't get me started on my girl Priscilla people hate her because they are straight up jealous she made Graceland prosperous no one else and people putting her down no way not while i still have breath in my lungs no one i mean no one will disrespect them period. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn. 😭Elvis told me all the time you should always know where you stand with people now i know what he meant. #forevermyking #forevermysexyjello

Awww Elvis....his music is for all generations. He is missed so much.❤

Elvis was so crazy like no one else ❤

He responded to the feel of the music.

Hi Duane. it´s from the movie FUN IN ACAPULCO 1963. The moves in movies are probably half naturally and half choreographed, but on stage Elvis moved naturally, he felt the music.

Most likely, they asked him to do the stomp, and to jump off the stage at the end, and do the keyboard/conga parts, but the rest was just Elvis doing his thing. On stage at a concert, he just did whatever he felt.

Elvis did his own thing.He was born with talent.Sexiest man ever,charisma…….etc…

ACES...AWESOME REACTION MY MAN 💪🏻

Some songs Ready Teddy one of his firs TV appearances & was really raw on that but he moved great. Also no one sang a ballad like Elvis did. Go to "Love me Tender", "Memories", "Angel" from the movie Follow that Dream. "Loving You", "Can't help falling in love", "Are you lonesome tonight" just to name a few. But I also encourage you to see the video about Elvis & the Black Community. It is really eye opening on the man he was.

💙ELVIS💙

It's a movie. Elvis danced how he felt. He wasn't a dancer per se...he moved to the music

He was in 31 movies yes a movie

“ Music Video “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This came out in 1963. There were only 3 tv stations. Rotary phones. Manual typewriters. No microwave ovens. The Golden Arches had just started to be used as a symbol for McDonalds. The only way to listen to music at home was a vinyl record or reel to reel tapes. MTV wouldn’t air till 1981. In 1963 music videos weren’t even a concept. This comment just tickled me. It made me laugh. Thanks for giving this old lady a chuckle. I have enjoyed your Elvis journey.

from the movie fun in acapulco,

Lol! There were no "music videos," per se, in the 1960's! This is from his movie "Fun in Acapulco" (1963), which is a very fun movie to watch! The blonde lady it shows here is actress Ursula Andress who starred in the first ever James Bond film "Dr. No" with Sean Connery, which was a year before this one. Elvis was so limber here that he reminds me of a Slinky toy! Lol!

My husband was a fan to and he use to say "I am straight guy but if I wasn't". He did his own dancing. He just moved and that got him in trouble at first. Thanks. Movie.

My great great uncle is one of the Marachi band members

Another song from that movie I e is Guadalajara. Elvis was only white man to sing that who my mexican grandma loved.

Yes!!!!!! I love this so much 😊❤ I think movies were choreographed and everything else no. This video is from a movie.

It's part of a movie. He was called Elvis the Pelvs because of the way he moved. Some producers would not let him be filmed below the waste.

They didn't make music videos back then. These videos are clips from the movies Elvis was in. They would use the songs from the movies for his albums. Or include the songs that Elvis liked.

Watch the Elvis movie that came out last year... exceptionally well made...gives you a lot of insights into who he was and where he came from

Elvis said it himself that he never planned out how he moved and that he moved how the music or emotion took him. In the movies he was choregraphed but on stage it was in the moment. This song was remixed around 2012 and you should compare them. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbSWfs2Kx5y9ZYE.html

This was in a time when there was no music videos there was a movie with a soundtrack that’s how they sold music

Was a Movie! Fun in Acapulco!❤💋

good reaction🥰🥰🥰🥰

The movie was Fun In Acapulco.

It's hard to believe, but elvis never had any dancing or singing lessons. He just loved to sing and moved his body however the music made him feel. That's why he is so unique and so hard to imitate. He was so naturally gifted. There will never be anyone will even come close to what he could do.

It was a movie.

I am not an Elvis expert, but it looks choreographed to me, because the dance movements repeat. He is singing this song in the upper range of his voice, and singing a lot of words, with a lot of syncopation. It must be hard to sing - try to spit the words out that fast with so many notes in your upper range, and you'll see, but he seemed to be natural with this kind of song, and although this is bossa nova, the singing style is similar his early rock and roll song. It is not very comfortable for a baritone, but he really seemed to favor his upper range in his early career. Later he did in sing in his upper range with a darker sound, but here is still singing lighter. His sense of rhythm was incredible.

Elvis the Pelvis... Back then, the TV camera's (Ed Sullivan Show) was ONLY ALLOWED to record him from the waist up... Search out his song Looking for Trouble...

The son of a biscuit was music

yep from the movie Fun in Acapulco.

There is a stager listed for this movie’s musical numbers but no choreographer listed in the crew.

Please watch his live rehersals ofOh happy day.

Fun in Acapulco movie. The only dance I know for sure he choreographed was the dance in Jailhouse Rock, mainly he just moved to the music. A lot of his movie music was not the best but there were gems in several of them. A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Action Please rocks. Elvis always delivered. 🔥💓🔥💓

Love your reactions. Unfortunately most people judge Elvis by today’s standards, because life was different in the 1930 and 1940’s TV’s did come out till around 1946. Toilet paper did not come out till the 1930’s [Elvis born 1935]. Coca-Cola did not take the cocaine out of its drink till 1929. Doctors prescribed Quaaludes to treat insomnia and anxiety disorders back then., Quaaludes were not made illegal till 1984. Elvis had serve insomnia and sleeping disorders all his life and use this in the Army to get sleep so he could keep awake on long duties. You can’t function if you can’t sleep As you notice in in Ann Margret and Elvis dance in Viva Las Vegas and now in Bossa Nova Baby that Elvis sometimes look unattached in his body movements. Elvis had a rare genetic condition known as hyper-mobility or EDS This is associated with joints that can hyper-extend and Elvis was famous for his gyrations. The doctor who defended Dr. Nick and got him acquitted, and who studied all of Elvis medical records for his whole life found the Elvis had been terribly ill for about ten years before his death. Until Oct 1973, Elvis was hospitalized for deteriorating overall medical condition, and causes that mystified his physicians. Elvis had glaucoma, spine arthritis, sigmoid volvulus, megacolon, loss of teeth, hepatomegaly, herniated disc, and elevated eosinophilia count, and arachnoiditis, CTCD. “Small nerves in the skins soft tissue start to disappear, and large nerves become inflamed.. The pain and suffering in those persons, like Elvis who have internal organ, multi-system defective connective .. is profound. This is CTCD. “We will never know how much of Elvis’s drug seeking and taking was due to medical and non-medical purposes. However, on thing is clear, he had insurmountable pain. During Elvis’s lifetime there was no recognition, understand or treatment for CTCD. “What is clear, however, is that there may be no greater cause of severe intractable pain the CTCD” . “Pains so horrible that it forces these tragic individuals to seek whatever drug they can obtain to find a little comfort” Elvis had saver megacolon issue. As the fiber that holds the intestine disappear this causes great bloating, constipation and pain and a protruding gut. You can see this in his last concert “Unchained Melody” (Rapid City June 21, 1977). Note in the “What Now My Love “(Live 1973 Aloha in Hawaii Best version!) you see his right eye tearing, (that was his bad eye. He’s not crying, that’s pain from the light sensitivity cause by the glaucoma. If you then go to “American Trilogy” which comes later in the show, both of his eyes are tearing badly from pain. Elvis commented to one of his lovers, Lucy, that he nearly passed out in the middle of the Hawaii concert. That’s why he did not move too much. He told Lucy that even taking all the medications he was still in pain when he was preforming. He told Lucy that he was dying. This is in 1973 it only got worst till 1977.

Elvis, Suspicious Minds 1970!! Live in Las Vegas.Don’t take your girl to that one! 🙂

Elvis rubberneckin from change of habit please

During movies Elvis worked with choreographers. This scene is from Fun In Alcapoco. His live performances were not choreographed. ❤

👑❤️

He danced his own mpves

Elvis was the ultimate entertainer, and singer. I wish he would have been more of a song writer, most of his songs were written in Memphis, Nashville and Los Angeles by professional song writers.

👑✌️

Best reaction s

Its from fun in Acupoco movie 1963 i think

Very smart move on your part not taking your girl to see Elvis. Great review. thank you

Yup; movies were choreographed, according to, or in addition to, EP's natural moves and instinct. ❤ Boo, you said you were not bringing your girl to an Elvis show; stay home and watch tv! 😮😅 This was another fun one! 👍

HE DID 31 MOVIES.. THERE ARE SOME THAT MAKE IT ON T.V. BUT NEAR ALL OF THEM. THEY JUST WON'T SET HIM FREE. ALSO ALOT MORE MUSIC FOOTAGE THAT M.GM. HAS. SET HIM FREE PLEASE ❤

Please check Angelina Jordans cover of Elvis' SUSPICIOUS MINDS

Great reaction. I laughed when you mentioned not taking your girl to this show. lol Unless you want to break up with her not a good idea. lol

He did no choreography! He just moved. This was from one of his movies so it’s obviously was choreographed. But when he was tour it was all improvised moves

Elvis Presley New Orleans or Viva Las Vegas

Great Reactions!!! Suggest. please watch the entire Fun and Acapulco video singing in Spanish amazing! Rate your reaction 10 stars ⭐️

Please take a listen to Billie Eilish Billie Bossanova❤😊

Leg move courtesy of young Forrest Gump😊

No choreography but if he liked a move he did, he would repeat it whenever he did the song but it was never exactly the same.

He only did what he felt like doing. Nothing choreographed

and yet Elvis did so much for the black people, stood up for them his whole life, yet not one black person in the video. wasn't Elvis his own man? obviously not.

And of course he lip-synced the vocals.
