26 Apr 07 - 11:49 AM (#2036329) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: GUEST,Nancy King at work I don't watch American Idol, but I did see a few clips of this act on the news, and it was amazing indeed! Can't imagine how they managed to do it so seamlessly. |
26 Apr 07 - 10:18 PM (#2036767) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Alice I thought it was an Elvis impersonator. Wasn't it? |
26 Apr 07 - 10:46 PM (#2036779) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Ebbie Nope. It was Elvis. *G* |
26 Apr 07 - 10:49 PM (#2036781) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Alice OK "how'd they do that"? I saw a three dimensional Elvis walk out and stand with Celine doing the duet. Did the stage have a blue screen the live audience saw while we saw a digital Elvis? I found a google reference to a 1968 performance that was used. |

27 Apr 07 - 06:06 AM (#2036951) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Strollin' Johnny Would someone mind telling a UK dweller what this is all about? I thought it was about my dogs. |
27 Apr 07 - 07:11 AM (#2036995) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Liz the Squeak And a UK dweller who doesn't watch any show where people expose their wildest dreams on TV to have them shot down in multi media public? LTS |

27 Apr 07 - 08:28 AM (#2037046) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: 3refs On American Idol Tuesday night there was a duet with Celine Dion and Elvis, singing "If I Can Dream". If not for ones knowledge that the big fella is dead, The King walked out on stage and sang for the first time is 30 years. |
27 Apr 07 - 09:04 AM (#2037078) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: John Hardly A bunch of Tennesseans are saying... "SEE?! DIDN'T I TELL YOU?! I KNEW he wasn't really dead. Man, don't he look GOOD for his age?!" |
27 Apr 07 - 10:10 AM (#2037130) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Strollin' Johnny "Elvis Is Alive And Well" (Jack Hudson - UK songwriter and singer) is a great song from a brilliant album of the same name. Maybe Jack knew something no-one else did when he wrote the song? |
27 Apr 07 - 10:13 AM (#2037133) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: 3refs FYI. Apparently the song was written about 24hrs before taping started on the 68 Comeback Special. It was written with regards to Dr Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speach. I wish they had used the same technology when they revisited the Aloha from Hawaii concert. |
27 Apr 07 - 10:20 AM (#2037139) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: 3refs PS. It's available on YouTube. Make sure you watch the one that shows the introduction. |
27 Apr 07 - 06:05 PM (#2037553) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: GUEST,Christopher Tyler FOr thoseo of you just being introduced to Elvis through this now, I'd go out and buy his records as he has the most magical voice of any singer in history! Introduce your kids to Elvis; your friends, family, relatives etc. He is a phenomenon that should not go unnoticed in one's lifetime. And if that does happen, it is an absolute shame. As with Elvis, singing so many different variety of songs, so, so well, there is truly something for everybody!!! |
27 Apr 07 - 07:41 PM (#2037606) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Alice Christopher, as we once estimated the average age of members of this forum is aged 50's and 60's, we know well who Elvis was. |
27 Apr 07 - 07:45 PM (#2037608) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: GUEST,B. Vallelunga Prez of the Royal Loyal E.P. F An Elvis impersonator walked on stage with Celine and stood on stage the whole time. However, when we see Elvis singing it's a hologram from Elvis' 1968 comeback special. When they briefly show Elvis from the back, it's the impersonator. |
27 Apr 07 - 08:10 PM (#2037620) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: GUEST,carl Was it really Celine? She kind of looked hologramy (is that a word?). |
27 Apr 07 - 10:01 PM (#2037666) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: GUEST,Nikki is there anywhere to download this performance???? |
27 Apr 07 - 10:08 PM (#2037667) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Alice It might be on youtube.com by now. Search you tube for "Celine, Elvis, American Idol". |
27 Apr 07 - 10:11 PM (#2037669) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: Alice Yup, I just checked and there are plenty of videos of it on youtube. Just search and take your pick. |
27 Apr 07 - 10:48 PM (#2037683) Subject: RE: BS: Elvis and Celine From: GUEST,Pete The quality is better on ITunes, but it costs a $1.99. I downloaded it just to see the best quality picture available. I'm still impressed! |
