RECOMMEND MORE ELVIS SONGS!!

Image, me, a 17 year old girl, ashamed to be apart of this generation. What I would give to go back in time! Elvis is forever amazing!

You are absolutely the only person I've seen who doesn't like this performance. I'm dumbfounded by you right now. Unbelievable. This is one of the best loved Elvis performances of all time. Oh and by the way, Elvis made history that night by being the first performer to broadcast live around the world via satellite.

His powerhouse voice is till this day unmatched

This was from "Elvis, Aloha From Hawaii" it was the first concert broadcast live around the world via satellite. Over 1 billion people tuned in to watch and I was one of them. Elvis, to a lot of countries at that time, was what America was, he made America proud. This concert raised over 75,000 dollars for cancer research and Elvis even gave his part of the earnings. This song is beautiful and heartfelt, Elvis didn't need to dance around on stage all of the time and when he did it was what the music made him feel, he didn't need a choreographer. His musical instrument was his voice and NO ONE can even come close to the GOD-GIVEN talent he had. There is ELVIS and then there is everyone else.

Elvis is the highest selling single artist of all time no one will ever catch up.. that's how far ahead of everyone he is. 1.5 billion people watched this concert, the first ever satellite concert. He's the King for a reason, even the likes of James Brown, Little Richard, BB King and Muhammad Ali call him the King and beloved friend. MJ got his moves and sense of style from Elvis. Elvis was the first, he paved the way for everybody. You got to remember he shot to stardom in the early 50s as a teenager and then went to the army for 2 yrs came home did 30 movies in the 60s, then returned to the stage and dominated Vegas and the rest of the country for a decade. This performance is 4 yrs before he died at age 42. Go check out his performances from the 50s, 60s and early 70s. Maybe start with Hound Dog on the Milton Berle show.

This is beautiful ballad we need to appreciate all types off music , off the hardships off life 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻ELVIS SUNG HIS HEART OUT DO NOT COMPARE HIM TO ANYONE HE STANDS ON HIS OWN 🪕🎼🎤🎹🎸

It’s his voice.. no one can sing like Elvis…

Elvis was a patriot .. he loved America this is a tribute.. he was in the army and he respected everything and everyone.. he respected our cops and authorities.. you can’t compare artists times changed since then .. Elvis was one of a kind.. listen to other songs of his and you will see his uniqueness..Elvis opened the door to other singers in Rock and Roll if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have the music that we have .. he was a pioneer in his time.. that’s why he is called the King ..

You need to watch way more Elvis and then come back and re-watch this video again, to appreciate it. There will never be any one who will ever come close to his vocals or stage presence, EVER! This American Trilogy was one of Elvis's trademarks.

You’re growing up in a more fast-paced world, Pzo. Everything was slower back in ‘73, and Elvis was phenomenal. He sings powerfully a powerful message - HIS TRUTH (Jesus Christ) is marching on. Sometimes it takes listening to a song more than once and without interruption to appreciate it. Peace.

i dont understand the hypa about mj ( moon walk + SELF PROCAIMED king of pop) thats about it .Elvis would, could and does sing him out of the park live no auto tune , no special effects, no group of dancers filling the stage. All Elvis needed was is voice and his charisma + Elvis is the highest selling single artist of all time + this concert is the hight watched concert by a single artist in history 1.6 billion which still stands today + 5 major music halls of fames Elvis could sing anything Rock, pop,Gospel, country, R&B . And thats just for starters to many accolades the mention i'd be here all day. ELVIS IS THE KING OF MUSIC

Elvis is in all major Hall of Fames, MJ copied a lot from Elvis and MJ did not have the musical versatility of Elvis Presley who was his own genre. Elvis is still the number 1 selling solo artist of all time. Check out “Suspicious Minds” or some songs from the ‘68 comeback special like “Trying To Get To You” or “One Night With You” or even another ballad dedicated to Martin Luther King “If I Can Dream”

You have to go back to 50s Elvis to understand how Michael Jackson was inspired by Elvis movement wise, “ Hound Dog “ in 56 on the Milton Berle Show👍

Whatever the time, Elvis was a master of music when it comes to portraying emotion and making a beautiful sound . I was a fourteen year old girl that year and have loved to listen to him since , and of course he was so beautiful too. One god given human!!!

American Trilogy became a staple of his performances. Not sure if the video and dynamics are too compressed to catch your ear, but when the orchestra comes in and brings it all up, that rush you get is next level. And no one dared doing something like this back then but Elvis.

Elvis could sing rock n roll,rythem and blues gospel, country , rock k a billy. And is the only artist in all 5 hall of fames. Elvis has sold over a billion records. That video u showed was a satilight from aloah from Hawaii, over a billion people watched worldwide. On and on.

Love when he sings American trilogy he puts his all in it and you get goose bumps

You cannot just watch one song and think that's it...keep going and you will get it...Elvis has it all..MJ was quite good and I did see him live but Elvis had so much more...you need to keep going and you MUST learn his story...MUST

Elvis did all types of music. I was 23 and always loved anything he did! You just wait! LOLOL

Elvis' music is timeless..

This is a patriotic song with three different parts referencing our history back to the Civil War era. It's beautifully shifts from tender to grand, full of emotion. But you made yourself oblivious to all of that by constantly interrupting & talking about Michael Jackson. You simply didn't listen. And this isn't an example of how Elvis set the world on fire when he started out in the 50's, considered wild, rebellious & innovative. This is the older, mature Elvis showing his love of our country, backed by a full orchestra & great backup singers. Maybe one day you'll be mature enough to appreciate it. Maybe. Btw, you should watch the new movie about him. You'd get an idea of the impact he made.

Elvis could sing the ingredients on a cereal box and me and many others would be enthralled. Listen to his song “If I Can Dream”. Btw Elvis was doing the moonwalk before MJ was born, watch “Mean Woman Blues”.

Love your reactions young man, I saw Elvis perform in 1973 it was AMAZING. Just some background to this song is a tribute to a hard time in American history, the first song Dixie refers to the South, the second Battle Hymn of the Republic the North, the third Hush Little Baby a hymn sung by slaves during slavery. These three ideologies and sad situations converged 1861 - 1865 the Civil War that decided the fate of millions of Americans. I know you have studied the Civil War in school, a terrible war pitting brother against brother and deciding the fate of millions of slaves, that's why it's a serious subject not Rock or Pop music.

I dont know how anyone could not be touched by Elvis singing this song. Michael Jackson was great but they were 2 different singers. Elvis could do everything musically. He could sing country/western/rock and roll/Spanish/ ballads of all kinds. Open your mind a little more. Elvis made so many millions of people really happy...and still, more than ever is right now. The new movie about his life might give you more insight to this man.

I am afraid you are one dimensional in your appreciation of music. This is a ballad of epic proportions but he could sure move and Polk Salad Annie or Suspicious Minds Vegas 1970 will give you that requirement. Your black brothers who look into his backlog GENUINELY say after the 3rd or 4th video I just never realised just how talented and versatile he was.

Someone please find and link to the video that shows both Elvis and MJ’s dance moves, so this young gentleman will see where MJ got many of his moves. Elvis was a master of all genres of music, he had incomparable presence and charisma. Elvis also acted in 31 movies. Go watch the scene for his 1957 movie, Jailhouse Rock, which is considered to be the 1st movie Video. Elvis is rated the 3 rd greatest singer of all time, where is Michael is not. Elvis had a great sense of humor, he was one of a kind. Elvis was named the King of Rock and Roll, whereas MJ named himself the King of Pop. Elvis sang rock, country, pop, gospel, R&B, soul and rockabilly and ballads. Elvis was a great dancer, and used his entire body, including his facial movement, expressions to interpret a song. You can start learning about him by watching the other youTubers reactions to him,

Your young and have your opinion we all do but there is a reason why 45 years after his death you are doing elvis reactions

Not all music don't have to be loud and fast. Elvis tells a story with his song. The reason he is called the King he could sing anything. And he did sing it all and.also was an actor. He was inducted in the hall of fame for all of them. You just young and don't listen to enough of different music. You will understand then you get a little older this is what you call real music.

Michael Jackson was so influenced by Elvis that he married Elvis daughter bruh

This one swells my heart with pride & emotion. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Elvis has a HUGE catalogue with different genres of music. Michael had one trick, he did pop.

Plenty of young people of your generation love Elvis. My 10 yr old does.. as others have said, you have to listen to mote than one song of an artist to understand them and their career. Elvis's 21 yr career had many facets.

Michael Jackson had to dance and move to hide the weaknesses of his vocal talent. Elvis was a pure singer, he didn't need to distract you, he just hit you with his voice.

Part of the problem with your opinion is you are trying to compare him to Michael Jackson when that is not what you should be doing g. You should be listening so you can understand why Elvis inspired and influenced Michael Jackson. If MJ was singing this song in front of 1.4 billion people worldwide he would NOT be moonwalking and dancing around like you seem to think he would be doing.

Elvis recorded over 600 songs, check out his faster stuff like 'Suspicious minds' live 1970, 'Burning love' live 1972, or him doing 'Hound dog' on the Milton Berle show. They only showed him from the waist up after that Berle performance. The King had a 3 octave vocal range, he sang all kinds of music, sappy ballads, rockers, country, blues, show tunes, pop, gospel, jazzy type stuff....

IF I CAN DREAM !! His tribute to MLK !! 1968 comeback special !! Live no voice over no auto tune no lip syncing !! Just raw talent

Elvis always my favorite

Watch the documentary of him called “ Elvis and the Black community “ I promise you’ll love it 👍

The greatest voice. The Battle hymn of the Republic. Elvis was banned from TV because his gyrating on stage was regarded as not being suitable for young people to see. He broke the mould for you youngsters. I bet Michael Jackson idolised Elvis. Michael was a genius. Elvis was a much overmanaged talent - never really allowed to grow. A money making machine. But a genuinely humble guy who even in 2022 has a legion of dedicated fans.

Definitely better than MJ lo😅

I was 7 and I loved it. Elvis has soul, bling and drip

Elvis sang EVERYTHING! You see how much he is sweating? He is taking a break from belting out some of the most amazing live music you will EVER see, no matter how long you live. This is from a concert... Elvis Live from Hawaii 1973. Watch the WHOLE thing before you pass judgement. THEN watch the black and white Jailhouse Rock performance that he choreographed and produced himself. Then watch the '68 Comeback Special. The man danced, sang, played the guitar and piano...and forced "black music" down America's throat just so there could BE a Michael Jackson!

Thank you for let it play nobody like the legend,you still young we understand,so many good music at there love Elvis forever miss him✌️🇺🇲😭😭😭😭

The king has over 700 songs. He plays guitar piano. He sold over 2 billion records.

Listen to some more. Elvis is the GOAT

Elvis is far bigger. That's why he's known as the king. MJ was only for pop. Elvis hit and literally made Rock n Roll. He sang Gospel, Blues and Jazz as well. He was raised in a black community. Watch the movie Elvis. You'll learn a lot. I'm 62 and lived my whole life listening, singing along, and seeing him in concert.

This performance was the first ever by satellite across the world most watched performance ever still to this day

I would love if u would react to Elvis’s earlier songs like Jailhouse rock 1957, hound dog on the Ed Sullivan show 1956 or even suspicious minds live in Vegas 1970. Also there’s a video comparing Elvis and Michael Jackson called i got a feeling in my body. If you like more hype songs this was the wrong one to start with. Elvis had so many different styles.

Man, you have got to use your common sense and realize this was a slow song and even Michael Jackson did not do all his awesome dance moves when he was singing a ballad. And even more common sense will tell you the audience will not get up and dance around to this song. If you do want to give it another try, watch Elvis and the Black Community. Otherwise if this will be your first and last Elvis reaction, maybe it’s best to leave it to the ones that can look more at his control he has of that awesome band an orchestra and stage presence as well as never seen before footage of interactions with the audience. FYI- this is only 1 of 700 or so other songs he had during his short singing career. He started at 18 and he died at 42 years old

I am in my 50s and grew up listening to his music because my Mom loved him. I saw him live in concert when I was 5 yrs old. Listen to his words and the strength of his voice. He doesn't have to swear and grab his crotch for attention. You don't have to move around on stage to be powerful. The music today in my opinion does not compare. I listen to all genre's of music from the 50s to hard rock, Motown to pop etc. Most singers can't sing worth crap live like Elvis did. They now need pre recorded crap and electronics to sound good. You hear a recording of an artist on the radio now a days and you are like.....ok it sounds good. Then you go see the person live in concert and your like wtf they sound awful. Elvis was Elvis and put on great shows and always sounded the same in his albums as he did in live performances. His songs all had so much meaning in them. Not like today where most is vulgar.

Who ever requested this song to review. A gospel song. That’s not typical Elvis! Please look at more! ❤

Now don't compare MJ to elvis . 2 fantastic singers but diffrent too . Elvis was given the title The King by fans and music mogals because of his record sales in all styles. MJ was great but gave himself the name King of Pop when he asked Elizabeth Taylor to introduce him by that title .

I believe that sometimes these types of songs you have to have had life experiences to appreciate or fully understand or appreciate their meaning...

I think you picked the wrong song to start reacting to Elvis, lol, so happy you kept on watching his videos, cuz now you understand😃 (I'm binge watching your videos tonight) ❤️

To me you can't compare Michael and Elvis... They had totally different styles and totally different eras.. I just love them both... I grew up in Michael's 80's era... but my Mom taught me Elvis.

Watch Got a Feeling in my Body with Elvis & MJ. Elvis had a superior voice , presense.. MJ was choreographed. EP moved to the music. You felt him in your soul. He sang everything. Sometimes just listen with more of an open mind and don't pause as often. 70's Vegas Elvis you get more moving. There's no autotune of any kind. Just pure vocal talent. EP had a 2.5 octave range. He sang with emotion and passion. He is in all 5 Hall of fames for music: country, gospel, Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, & R & B. He could sing all genre's of music.

lol, no I dont compare MJ with Elvis as Elvis did so much more to society and sold twice as many records as MJ. So no.

Elvis is really remembered for his vocal range and ability. Every song he did was completely different from the one before. He is very much worth checking out, and I agree that you SHOULD check out more of his videos. I really liked his 1968 comeback special ... the dress rehearsal BEFORE the actual concert was more raw. He did it in the round with a few of his bandmates, and his R&B side really shone through. Try looking at the "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" or "Baby What You Want Me To Do" videos. They just may change your mind about what an amazing vocalist he truly was.

Amazing song and performance! Elvis is one of a kind!

Elvis Presley made history as the first solo entertainer to hold a live concert broadcast internationally via satellite. His Marriage was falling apart in 1973. It’s very old school American patriotic and more spiritual. Elvis was charismatic and spiritual.

This was pure Elvis. He can sing anything including opera

This is real music and MJ is premade computer generated music. The only thing MJ had going for him was his dancing

The elegance of this song is not for everyone. True singing from the soul can not capture everyone's attention. This song, this version of this song reveals the quality of Elvis's tonality and versatility. You aren't required to "get it". Just remember, many who watch your Elvis reactions lived through Michael Jackson as well. Michael was very talented in his own right, he just never reached the elegance of Elvis.

Listen to his voice the power !!You don't get singers like this any more 😎❤️❤️

I love the transition of your life for Elvis! This was at the very end of hours show after dancing & singing for hours.

This whole concert (Aloha from Hawaii) was amazing!!!

I subbed, then unsubbed. You don't need me.

Pzo, the significance of the song itself is why this is so famous and powerful. The song American Trilogy brilliantly combines Dixie, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, and an old slave song - the point is to unite people. Take an anthem of the south, an anthem of the north, and a sad beautiful slave song, then add a full orchestra and Elvis’ raw power. That’s American Trilogy. When you know the history of the song, it’ll change your enjoyment of this performance.

This is called American Trilogy for a reason, its three different songs in one - "Dixie", "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "All my trials" - you need to show some patience think a little deeper than just flash and energy and realize Elvis sang ALL KINDS OF MUSIC including GOSPEL and this song had serious feelling and emotion in it and no one had even heard of rap in this era -- its one of the best performances he ever gave and those who understand and know the meaning of the lyrics know this is a heartfelt emotional song, not every song is a banging thumping crowd monster some songs have real meaning and stories behind them and this is just ONE SONG out of this amazing concert, others have a much different tone so dont judge until youve heard more of this Aloha Hawaii concert - also this was the very first worldwide satellite broadcast of a TV concert in history, the only worldwide feed before this was when the United States had landed men on the moon for the very first time in history. Theres a lot of context you just dont know, there were many firsts with Elvis and not every song is a banger some are deeper than all that. Elvis sang gospel from his early youth and won gold records for his gospel singing and some of that comes through in certain performances and anyone thats been to a black church where they take their gospel music serious knows this. Youre too young to appreciate this kind of song, you didnt grow up in the era and do not compare Elvis to michael jackson, its not the same thing, youre looking in the worng performance for flash and jizz this song is three songs in one/a trilogy and it isnt about head bangin' flash its about many things including the countrys civil war in the battle hymn of the republic - a song youve probably never heard - and its also about a mans son dying on the battlefield in the civil war - youre comparing apples to oranges between Elvis and Michael Jackson both were great in their own way but your too young and dont have enough knowledge of this past era to even know what youre hearing and seeing. Many that know what this song is about cry when they hear it.

I was 4.....and i can tell u....i acted like elvis standing on a blown out console tv....using the plug in as my mic....singing for my lil sister and her friend.....lol...70s rocked

All music does not have to be loud and boisterous. There is room for the softer song. Michael Jackson had his soft music too, Some songs have a message.

I loved this performance!

Elvis singing a ballad was popular, singing r&r was he was known for especially if it included dance moves ! What Elvis was renowned for was gospel, I think he won more awards for his gospel albums than any other music he performed. You need to start back in his early days up to near the end of his career . You can’t expect r&r and pop all the time, Elvis enjoyed it but as I said previously he loved Gospel & Ballads…he got tired of having to perform like someone in a circus & wanted to do all kinds of music. MJ came 20 years after Elvis’s career started, and music changed in the late 60’s & 70’s so younger generations changed to BUT they still loved The King no matter what he sang. Start in the 50’s with Hound Dog and go forward to watch his amazing career. I love both Elvis & Michael Jackson & what they accomplished throughout their careers ☮️💜💥

MJ was the King of Pop. Elvis is in the Hall of Fame for over 5 different genres of music. This is also 1 song out of an entire concert that was the first concert ever televised worldwide by satellite. Elvis was a person who never stuck to one single genre of music. He was his own genre even though people call him the King of Rock & Roll to this day. More energetic? Try Hound Dog (Milton Berle Show). Jailhouse Rock (clip from the movie). Suspicious Minds and Polk Salad Annie (Las Vegas 1970). For a look at audience reaction watch Love Me Tender (Las Vegas). I saw Elvis in concert twice as a kid in 1972. Believe me the audience reaction was something else. Women screaming abd crying. Fighting to get one of hus scarves he threw into the audience. It was amazing.

This is not a dancey number? It's solemn and anthemic. He did plenty of moving especially in his early years (1950s) and up to about 1972. He did slow down a bit after that. This was a TV, live concert and the audience were not typical screaming fans that he'd get whilst touring.

What made Elvis great is his singing. He didn’t distract you with bullshit lights and non stop dance moves. He was an artist pure to the bone. He invented pop and rock and roll music.. Listen to: If I can dream Jail house rock In the Ghetto Suspicious Minds Satisfy Me Hound Dog His early early years he did a lot of moving a jiving. Towards this time period he was getting sick and breaking down from old age.

Love your Elvis videos. I like seeing young people learning about Elvis.

This was a historic event beaming Elvis via satellite from Hawaii. I got to stay up passed my bedtime and my mother threatened me for a month with not seeing this concert if I didn’t do everything she said.

Some friendly advice. ❤ Watch *MrLboyd Reacts* -- He started his reaction channel ONE year ago and has over 628,000 subs. The reason is simple. 1) he is respectful, 2) he's open minded, and 3) he's cool. -- He listens to all genres. 💯💯 You may learn from this awesome man. Cheers.

You have to see Elvis in order of his beginning up to this. By this time he is showing religious side. Vocals through roof. You need to spend time on Elvis early. Look at Ed Sullivan show Elvis. Amazing. He is multi faceted. Yes got it he has opera voice! Huge range.

You are actually the ONLY young black reactionist that I've seen who has been negative toward an Elvis song. Less than 2 minutes in, you're talking about how it's "calm" and instead of actually listening and watching the video WITHOUT constantly stopping and talking, you formed an immediate and negative opinion because it's not fast and upbeat. It would be a boring musical history if ALL songs were loud and had a fast tempo. Elvis has a huge musical catalogue and it's a mix of rock & roll, rock, country, blues, movie tunes, and ballads. If you really want to be a successful reactionist, you need to open your mind and understand that music is a complex and varied art.

You need to stop judging until the song is over; to listen to the whole concert. Kids today expect immediate gratification. It’s a live band and Elvis always put feeling into the songs he sang. Listen to more of his songs, you’ll learn to appreciate the entertainer he was!

Elvis had a long career well into into his 40s, And he was extremely versatile as a performer. Remember he was a controversial performer in the 50s & 60s because of his moves and R& R music . And MJ said himself that He was heavily influenced by Elvis! You're young so it's perfectly understandable that you would have little appreciation for more standard " calm" music that was just part of the old music, but that's exactly what made the great old music so wonderful! Todays music is rarely versatile, back in the day Rock, Blues, Country , disco , crooners made up the landscape we called music back then . Watch more " old Elvis "

This son Represents the grace and Respect o f the South Where he was Born ,,, his Hertiage

This is from the Concert that raised money for cancer... Aloha from Hawaii was the first live satellite broadcast to feature a single performer across 36 countries 1.5 billion people tuned in to watch this concert. The song he is singing is 3 songs pulled into one. you should watch Elvis interview on this concert , here is the title to that interview ..... ELVIS - "The Making of ALOHA" - 45th Anniversary (TSOE 2018)

Never will be a better singer than Elvis

I one can sing a song and tell the story like Elvis he was and still is the king 👑🇬🇧🇺🇸

No comparison ! Elvis is the King - period. American Trilogy is my favourite Elvis song.

I understand, you don't want to lose your card.

Thats the KING on stage one of his most spectacular performances from aloha from hawaii

I graduated High School in 1973.Elvis sang thousands of songs.

Finally! Honest critique of an Elvis performance for a change.

Let me try to clear up some of the confusion for if I can. Elvis was a very patriotic person. The American trilogy has a lot to do with back in the day our country was at war with each other (the war between the North and the South) it was over slavery. The American trilogy is paying homage to that time period and that war. Elvis sang all types of music. He started with what they called rockabilly and this moved to rock and roll, rhythm and blues, gospel, etc. I absolutely love the American trilogy, did you notice that while he was singing he was actually making movements to direct the orchestra. Also, just a little bit of History, did you know that Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie married Michael Jackson. The marriage only lasted 2 years.

Ok you picked GOSPEL SONG! Lol !!! Wrong song to compare to MJ to. This is not supposed to be hype. Elvis created hype and vibe. Elvis was singing and dancing before MJ was born. Rock and roll was made up of three main genres. Elvis mastered all 3 and was a founding father of Rock and Roll. He came from the white and black gospel worlds similar to Mahalia Jackson. But he also absolutely mastered the blues and white country music. He bonded all three together and was a social phenom. He broke racism and racial barriers in the music business and in society

Keep watching sunshine. He'll grow on you like he did with over a billion and half fans ;-) Listen to, you gave me a mountain.

I get you. I was a teen when he was king and sorry to say I didn't appreciate him. Am now 70 and I now can see clearly how great his voice is and how beautiful he is.

When Elvis sang people listened they did not want to miss anything.

Think you best read up on Elvis. Entered into 5 halls of fame ……… biggest selling solo artist of all time. Before judging , please educate yourself on Elvis and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Memories, yellow rose of Texas, old Shep, (a tear jerker). Moody blues, jail house rock......the list is endless.........
