Elvis Impersonators

[Panic Button]

Do Elvis impersonators who perform regularly get heartily sick and tired of his music?

I saw one once in Tenerife who was doing several gigs a day in bars all over the place and he seemed bored by the whole thing.

[Panic Button]

No, been busy on my day off, but awarded myself a tea break.

Feeling guilty now. Back to that window frame.

I suppose this could be said about any entertainer..whether it is the bloke who does a gig down the Dog & Duck every night or George Michael doing a sell-out world tour.

I am sure they all get peed off doing the songs everyone wants to hear every night!

This one is really good with great musicians, backing singers. - and always plays to a packed house.

He's not an impersonator, more a tribute and has lots of fun with the audience:

saw a robbie williams tribute last night and in the past diana ross, george michael and elvis tributes in southampton, for one hour they are paid �700, nice work if you can get it. all they are are glorified karaoke singers, pub singers singing to backing tracks, no live music at all. robbie tribute was just going through the motions, looked really hacked off by it. i don't know how they can justify that sort of payment. i'm thinking of having plastic surgery and polish up my vera lynn songs and going out on the road, there'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of dover................!.
