This is one if my favourite song by him. I was fortunate to see him live a few months before he passed. This is perhaps one of the closest rendition to him ever. Many have the voice and moves but lack the pure passion. This performer has that passion
I saw Ben in Bournmouth , he was great. T.C.B
BEN , SINGING a BEST CLASSIC. ELVIS SONG!!!
Wow. That side profile is literally Elvis. Like the spitting double of him. Damn! 🥺
I was lucky enough to see him recently in Scunthorpe Baths Hall 🥰 he is absolutely fantastic.
Everything about him is 100% Elvis.
No tribute artist will ever compare to Ben.
I'm smitten 🤩😍
HE LOOKS LIKE ELVIS and sings every song perfect , I love this guys smile,
I find Ben sounds a lot like Elvis, and that my friends is not easy to do. Their was only one Elvis, but Ben you are the best tribute artist I have seen. Well done my brother. TCB
The most difficult Elvis song to perform by far!
Great job!!
Jack ~'()'~
Very impressive. Possibly the hardest song to do convincingly and he pretty much nails it. Wow.
Listen to Chris Conner version
@@58eltoro horrible
Wow how great was that, have seen Ben many times over the years. All ways puts on a great show. ❤
The passion and soul he put into this performance gave me shivers. Elvis would be proud!
❤ 🎶 "Absolutely 💘 Fabulous ; Beloved Elvis Presley 💘 Would Be Just Soo.. Proud of You. Thanks for Sharing 💃 and Enjoy A Delightful Evening.. ". 🎶 ❤

Wow. He’s good. He’s so much like him. Unbelievable. You’d never think it wasn’t Elvis.
Somebody's been watching a LOT of Elvis videos, Ben has it all down pat.
The best best performance of this song, by a mile of ANY ETA . my opinion!!
YES...I AGREE...never witnessed better...
it is very good but no one will ever
sing it with the emotion that
The real Elvis sang it because no body on the planet sings like him but saying that Ben portsmouth is the only Elvis impersonator that i would ever pay money to see
このSHINEとても👑Elvis👑格好良いです💕素敵です最高です💕超良いです❤💕❤大好きです🎸🎺🎹🥁🍃☀🌈🥰
Made me cry wow
He's Good this Ben Portsmouth. Just Outstanding.
I totally agree. I have been flying to different countries just to see Ben since 2014. Covid has put a stop to that at the moment. I am going to Ireland in April 2022 to see Ben. Four shows
Man, I can't believe my eyes and ears. Everything he does its on point. The scary fact about him. Is that It Comes Natural To Him!
Hi there, Mirko Amicizia! Ditto!
Watch Chris Connor I’m not trying to hate but he’s way better than him
🤣no he sounds nothing like Elvis
@@allanm2293 Chris Conner didn't look out sound like Elvis. Maybe watch Elvis a little more and you see Ben is about as good as it gets.
I like Ben and eerily when you see Ben from the side he looks a bit like Elvis, no-one will ever come close to Elvis,his look and his voice as he was a unique guy Elvis was.
There are loads of Elvis tribute artists and I think it's okay because they keeping Elvis's memory alive, they all love Elvis a lot. And plenty of people go and see them, I've seen a couple of them and to me they have to be really good.
And if ya go in and ya like wanting to see someone who is exactly like him but there can't be ever !!!!
I know Ben Portsmouth I have seen him before on TH-cam but now he is in Skegness
Amazing 👑
This man must have loved Elvis to his every moves, to his voice and to his personality, that's why his impersonation become almost like the star himself. 👍
😊ele teve a sorte de nascer com mesmo timbre de voz de elvis ate quando ele fala e igual
great voice love him he sings with so much heart and soul 10 0ut of 10 for this one Brilliant
Saw Ben live. Incredible performer. By far the best ETA.
SEU SORRISO É ENCANTADOR
unfortunately I can't see anywhere that Ben is scheduled to perform in America in the near future. I love watching and listening to him. I would think he would be in the USA a lot more since this is Elvis Presley Land. I live in Nashville, TN not far from Memphis and would love for him to return to this area soon!!!!
Ben has got some schedules show for the USA....He just did the Elvis Birthday cruise in January, leaving from Florida
Sad to have missed him dern man dern it...my loss indeed!
OMG That little cheeky look at the beginning was so dang cute!
CAN'T BELIVE IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIND BEN. HE HAS EVERYTHING DOWN PAT. AWESOME
Ben Portsmouth is amazing. The best Elvis Tribute Artist ever! This is one of my first recordings of him...have done so many more since xx
He just becomes Elvis.............we are going to see him in March...............
excellent
拝見できて 幸せ😃💕です‼️♥️ベン あらがとう
Brilliant so good
You can't get much better than, this unless you're Elvis himself.
I'LL GIVE THAT < AN AMEN > !!!!!!!!
Elvis Resurrected,he is Good!
One of my best memories were the times I saw Ben perform along with my sister.
That's interesting. I had no idea Ben sang with someone else. Not once has he mentioned it. What is her name x
I get so tired of some people that dislike and perhaps, only focusing on the negatives rather the positives. Of someone or something. Because the positives far outweigh the negatives any way ! . Some people are criminals from Hell ! I tell yeah I know right hahaha !... I tell ya what man I'm happy with Ben Portsmouth ! . As he fully and completely captures Elvis Presley ! to a point of his personality from A to Z ! ...
Wow, he sounds brilliant! What a song!
Ben Portsmouth is one of the best if not the best Elvis Presley tribute artist I have ever seen without a doubt and I seen plenty. What most people don't understand is the work that goes into something like this not just for Ben but for all professional tribute artists. Watching hours and hours of video over and over trying to imitate every move every sound and every facial expression of your idol and then getting the costumes just right then rehearsal after rehearsal it's all down to fine art being dedicated.
No he is not!
It's kind of funny because I just can't get past thinking about how much time and effort goes into this type of work. Even down to the captain behaving the same as Elvis's did! I started imitating Elvis when I was 2 years old in the sixties and was ridiculed by my oldest sister who became a Jehovah's Witness. The only way I was not shy is when I was on stage performing Elvis in talent shows. It was kind of funny because I didn't speak a word of English aside from the Elvis songs! I have to say I am super impressed with the female drummer in this band.
Just looked Chris Connor up & to tell you the truth he's not a patch on Ben Portsmouth.
Why look up someone who does not rate better then Ben Portsmouth. Obviously you think so too otherwise you would not be here on this channel
+Tamarama Sydney learn how to spell before throwing silly tantrums
Great to see someone actually putting passion into it, well I suppose he wouldn't be a good Elvis impersonator if he didn't but still, it's great to see
Ben emulates Elvis to perfection...emotions and passion and all xx
Elvis👑👑👑とても可愛いのです!🌹🌹🌹🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🎶🎸🎶🎤有難う
King of the Elvises
Yep, this guy is by far the best impersonator of Elvis. Hands-down. I'd love to see some young Elvis performances, but maybe I just haven't found them yet.
Damn he has Elvis Presley mannnerisms , spooky the voice and look is spot on ! Even moves like Elvis did !
Not a patch on Ben
People can copy the clothes/moves/mannerisms etc,but the voice always let's them down in the end.
@@robbell6148 Jake Rowley though
although i think Elvis would of kept his hair nice and neat
@Benjamin Sorry...Connor does not have the full vocal range, Ben does !
He's the best ever ETA ever ever
Ben ! has that sultry sensuality going on along with his ability to charm and romance his audience just like Elvis ! did...
He even speaks like Elvis some what
Hey is very good an nice looking ,
just saw THE LAST HOURS OF ELVIS PRESLEY and i couldn't believe how much the guy playing elvis looked like him...so i googled him and come across this yt page... I've never heard of him...but wow... he blew my socks off !!! ❤🤗
Ben Portsmouth is undoubtly the very besy Elvis Tribute Artist out there. He has the complete Elvis package , and I first saw Ben in 2012.......and have been following his carreer since, and will continue to do so. And thank you x
Hi there, Mega Naiomiz! i couldn't agree with you more indeed! Ditto!
that my favorite song it has a message that we all need today in a world with so much crime and hate and racist
Hi there, Charlie Rogers Music! Ditto!
So true!
Wow! Ben sounds so awesome... I can close my eyes and think that it is Elvis. Keep up the good spirit man..... and If I Can Dream......
That cheeky look he gave back to the audience, love it lol
Amazing.
Elvis👑!ユーモア素敵!熱唱の歌❤❤❤KING有難う🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🎼🎶🎸
Elvis was such a wonderful entertainer, he brought so much happiness to so many people through his music all his life, even on the night he died he was in preparation to go on the road again to entertain his fans, they loved him and he loved them. That alone says a lot about the man Elvis was. I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Portsmouth preform last weekend in GA in the USA, like Elvis he gives one hundred and fifty percent to his audience. He was even kind enough to join his fans at a small little Pizza place after the show and sing a beautiful song for everyone. That too says a lot about him. So often we hear people who really didn't know Elvis or what he was about say, all he did was screw women and get stoned, but as Ben proves over and over on stage with his magnificent renditions of the beautiful songs that Elvis did, he was so much more then that. He sang this song on his sixty eight special, a new song, sung by a Southern born and raised man about changing the world and equality and part of the reason he chose the song was to use his fame to spread the message, that was a time period when the civil rights movement was going on in America, Elvis broke Colonel Parkers strict rule about not doing any song that was political or potentially controversial. This special was his come back, he risked his whole career by singing that song. Think about that. Now we have this hunk in his image carrying on the message. Go Ben, we love you, see you in Memphis. Hopefully not too tired or crabby. :)
Hi Debra. Thank you so much for your response to my video of Ben, singing Elvis' best message song ever. I totally agree with all that you have said about Elvis and our wonderful Ben. The 68 Come Back Special that Elvis did was the best show he ever did. If I can Dream was written purposely for that show for Elvis to sing at the end of his show. I was lucky enough to see Ben not once but twice and yes, he is a wonderful man and we are so lucky to have Ben who gets on stage to bring Elvis "alive". I see he had a great show in Georgia.......Ben gives 100% plus when he performs. Lucky you to be going to Memphis...I have to wait for Ben to come back to our shores next year. Have fun in Memphis
Well said.:) Debra
Debra Hall
I didn't know that about the song...a magnificent song..and Ben knocks it out the park.
That is not real Elvis never say that and I don't trust all of this and Elvis Presley is real or this comment is bullshit and no one can't beat real Elvis Presley and he is the king the one only I have and Ben can't do anything about love himself or treat the real king and Ben so much like stealing some how much much like Elvis and that is actually obsessed with Elvis Presley even Shawn klush that so jealous of him and people so crush on Shawn and who is the lying one never trust himself as Elvis and that really embarrassed of Elvis Presley and so disgusting man pertray Elvis in the movie who die in the bathroom with a lot of drugs.
Who needs Radio or TV when you have this to watch 😍😍😍😍 He's so good been enjoying his videos❣❣ Thanks for sharing 😁
So pleased to hear that you are enjoying my videos of Ben..can't wait to go see him again, once this pandemic is over
@@MegaNaiomi Yes he's really good would love to see him come to US Fredericksburg VA We have Shawn Klush come alot but would luv to see Ben just something about his charisma and he's such a Happy and people person jokes are spot on like Elvis was...Thanks Again for sharing 😁😁
Seeing you next year again in Nottingham. Can't wait
He is so good….the illusion of ELVIS is almost faultless…a brilliant performer.
WOW! What a surprise! and hearing you sing one of my favorite songs. I just saw you perform on David Letterman's show (2/8/13), your voice keeps getting better all the time, I'm not into tribute artists but YOU WON ME OVER. Congratulations! I don't think you'll be competing anymore.... you're the best. Thank you!
Not an easy act to follow but credit where credit is due,very well done
Pretty good I must say...my favorite song from Elvis. This guy is really 👍
全身で歌って!Elvis👑🌹👑素敵🎶大好き💕❤🎸🎶格好良くて!🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🎶🎶🎶
top drawer stuff
What a fabulous video of the best ETA out there, my sweet soul sista! Thanks for the share, Nai! :D xo
Excellent job!!!
Love This man he is so good. He has a true gift. God Bless You.
Elvis👑👑👑このシーン!私大好き💕❤💕❤可愛いくて!とても素敵🎶🎸🌴🌴🌴🌹🌹🌹🎸🎶🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🎶🎤🎸
I LOVE everything Ben does!!!!
Well done Ben! Fantastic job dear Sir.
Great Elvis impersonator . I am pictured here with Daren Lee who is another great Elvis act.
This is the most accurate way Elvis would sing this song when he sang it in his 70s era
Fantastic , he looks like elvis the voice is great just like elvis , great job ben
Despite the trolling by a certain Diane (something), Ben Portsmouth is without doubt the best EP tribute out there. While it's true there are act out there that are more of a Pantomime about EP and just make fun and light of the man (I've made comment on this elsewhere), Ben is a respectful incredible performer and fan. It is astounding how good this man is. It annoys me how many people say they are fans and yet they stalk these videos just to troll and push peoples buttons - they are cowards and assholes, hiding behind a keyboard. MegaNaiomi... good job mate!
You are right!! He is not chris connor and thank God for that. Ben Portsmouth is far superior to him and it shows....Ben has fans flying from all over the world to go see him, can Chris boast such a following. I think not!! And anothe thing. Unlike you, I do not bother you tubing other artists that I am not fond of. And why would I need to when Ben Portsmouth is the best of the best!! I rest my case. Thank you for your time and opinion
That's your opinion
Tamarama Sydney......Do you realise you are the only one saying that!!
I think Doug church is the best .
Totally agree. I saw him in Wellington on this tour. He truly is amazing.
Seen him in Glasgow Feb 16, AWESOME!
If this was on a record I don't think I could tell the difference,like Orion back in the day.Ben still #1 ,I think Elvis would sh-- if he seen Ben ..
This guy has the best Elvis moves, just check out his Suspicious minds vid.
Hi there, Bob Rob! Ditto!
Good god o mighty!!! Shoot!! He's gooood!!! He sing it just like how Mr Presley sung this! Gee! I don't believe this! I got to admit! It's as good as how Elvis sung it Elvis & Ben two MAGIC MEN!!!
My first recordings of Ben......well sort of. My very first recording of him and most othe ETAs at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist award sho in Memphis 2012.....my introduction to the EETA world, and competition that Ben won
"Yeah Bay Beah"
Relaxさせてくれる!素敵なElvis👑👑👑有難う🎸🎺🥁🎹🎤🎶🎼🎶
omg ben Portsmouth iz so amazing looks nd sounds so much like the king love himxx
Wait.... Did i just watch an ETA or is this Elvis hinself! Man you had me thinking i was watching Elvis. I am sharing this on my Elvis Presley Tribute Artist page on fb
That is awesome. I have been following Ben Portsmouth for a few years now and record him whenever possible. He is absolutely amazing and emulates Elvis to perfection xx What is your Elvis Tribute Artist page on FB called x
Nope
Nobody can emulate the raw raspy voice Elvis had in this song
Absolutely incredible! Well done, sir ...
What a great song...Beautiful voice
This guy is AMAZING
Ainda bem que tem pessoas seguindo os passos do Elvis !!!
Esse cara lembra muito o Elviis, e canta muito parecido, está de parabéns.
Kudos to the female drummer!!! I had always wanted to play the drums myself so it's great to see a woman drummer for a change!! She's fabulous and can really play them!
Yes she is fabulous. Even Ben liked her.....her name is Lauren Ellis and is a Kiwi, like me
MegaNaimoi With all due respect and I truly beg your pardon but not to sound so ignorant :D what is a Kiwi other than the fruit? :D :D lol!! Great to know Ben likes her too guess that's why he wanted her to play for him! Don't blame him. Break those stereotypical barriers down and get the best gal/girl and in this case gal for the part! Ben is truly the best in all areas! Just love him!!!
Hi EmeraldJade66.....Oh I don't think you are ignorant at all. Kiwi is an affectionate name that we get called if you are from New Zealand. That is also where the Kiwi fruit comes from hence it's name
Hello MegaNaiomi :) Please forgive the long delay ... just "life" :) Thank you so much for letting me know what Kiwi meant in the term it was used. Of course I know what the little kiwi fruit it :D lol! But this is the first I know about it being an affectionate name for New Zealanders :) Wow! So sweet and very cute!! I like it much!! And I LOOOOOVE N.Z.!!! Such a beautiful country it is! Love the people, culture, land itself and well I just love it! :) Great pop singers from there too with a little reggae mixed. I can't remember if Awa and Anuhea is from there ... maybe they are from another South Seas island/country? Anyhow, you are from a beautiful country and you my friend I can tell are really beautiful too! :) Love that you are a kindred spirit who shares the love of Elvis as well. God Bless Always! :)
♥
really love Ben, and Chris connor and John coates all excellent
Ben Portsmouth amt person personal greatest hits amazing man
I love you Elvis 🙌
This guy literally must of sold his heart to Elivis to dedicate himself so completely. Wow....shocked at how exact everything is. Dang. Incredible and impressive!
I love this song so much and I really wish Ben would come to Oklahoma City. He is the best ETA.
Just seems if he went to Texas this month he should have come on up. Maybe he will.
Kary Ronk Hi ya Kary Ronk. Ben only goes where the promoters have invited him to go. They are the ones who finance most of his shows
That's incredible
Going to see Ben in a couple of weeks time. Impersonators are what they are, they're not the real thing but he is as damn close as I've seen so don't understand the trolling by people on vids like this. I don't go on to a music video of an artist I don't like and put a comment so don't see why people take the time and effort to on here, if you don't like it switch over or off! Personally I love this guy and I'm taking my nan to see him who loved Elvis, it makes her happy, so makes me happy :)
Austin Butler portrayed Elvis perfectly in the movie Elvis!!! 👍😀🎤🎸
Thanks for sharing these amazing videos my friend! You can tell Ben really enjoys entertaining the audience and you can see that he is a nice and uncomplicated man. The best part is that you can tell he isn't trying to imitate Elvis... it almost feels he channels Elvis! Whatever it is that he does you know it is genuine, it is Elvis... it is Ben... ;) Cheers from Rio, Brazil!
Até A Voz falando Ele Imita Legal muito bom o Cara ! Parabéns !
Just brilliant!!!
