Chris performing Jailhouse rock on the 2007 Movie's Rock show! He was soo good~~ I loved the scratchiness in his voice lol, and he looked gooood too!!!
This back when Chris Brown had the raspy singing, listen to how he sings elvis song, Man this Chris Brown was dangerous back then, amazing singing and never flopped 💯💯🔥
Chris is right, when he say " he (Elvis) was hanging was with the brothers/homies" which he meant "black dudes" I think, its so clear that Elvis got his style and voice inspiration from black dudes, plus most of his songs were written by the black dudes. So, he was definitely hangin with the brothers
True. Elvis grew up in a majority black community in Tupelo, and was a regular at black churches & clubs in Memphis during his youth. He did record a lot of songs written by black songwriters. Jailhouse Rock though was written by two white songwriters Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller. They wrote for a lot of black artists including The Drifters, The Platters & Big Mama Thornton.
This really shows his versatility as an artist... he pulled off a major pitch change that alot of artists can't do. I think he did a great job in mixing the 2 types of music.
I love the little funk they put into the chorus.. I love it. I'm amazed he didnt get more out of breath than what he did with all that dancing and flippin he did. That takes some lungs. GOOD JOB CHRIS!!!
I think this is amazing. Elvis gigs are a lot harder than most people think. Especially with so many words and so many moves like in Jailhouse. Chris made it his own, and he rocked it. I definitely give him kudos for this one!! GOOD JOB CHRIS BROWN!!!
I was there this night watching this live! I will never forget this! I was screaming Chris! Chris! I love you! He was mad electric! It was spectacular! I mean I never saw Elvis he was before my time but from all the stuff I see the audience went just as crazy! Chris Brown could be a legend! I hope we learn to forgive his celebrity for what went down with Ree...
anybody else notice he invented the pin drop before it even came out in late 2009- mid 2010? ...plus he hit them folks in run it too (2005) legend...nobody never wanna give chris credit
Proof that the “machines” was about to push breezy into oblivion before the incident . They aren’t about to just let anybody tribute their precious Elvis on live tv
i love it, didn't think i would, but at this tempo, with that bassline and drum beat, it just works, couldn't stop bouncing, and i'm usually a real lover of the originals
Elvis presley is smiling so hard for this one, what a tribute. i expected no less from chris brown. one of the few artists today that actually have talent
Why do so many people hate on this clip?? Of course he is no Elvis and he will never sound like him...Because he is Chris Brown!!! He did a great job on this song. Nobody will ever do the song the same as Elvis, but you can't hate on Chris for singing a classic!
I love how people think Chris is trying to be Elvis!!! IT IS CALLED A COVER!!!!! Artists do it all of the time! And by the way, Elvis beat Pricilla, so stop judging!!!!! Damn good job, Chris!
donn409 Awwww, you mad? Look that shit up! Never will I say something without research! Not only did he hit her a few times, he's done what yall are accusing Tyga of doing! He met her when she was 14 and started dating her, he's 10 years older than she is, do the math!
This is my last response to you! Don't be mad that your idol isn't what you thought! Yall so busy crucifying Chris, that you neglect the fact that there were grown as men before him who abused women! As for me being racist...#WHATEVER!!! That's what people throw out there when they're called on their shit! abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123860
"Cultural Appropriation" -sounds like the epitome of Social Engineering. Singers should have the creative freedom to evoke any form of nostalgic experience in their fans. Just as long as they dedicate themself entirely to the delivery of the experience and not their own personal vanity/arrogance/pride. Chris, you did well in this homage. I hope to see more.
I am not the biggest Chris Brown fan, but i think he done a great job with this song....Not the easiest to sing, but he done a very good job with it!!! His voice is good all the way through, and he is a good performer, cant fault his efforts for this song!!!!
I saw one comment that said "what would Chris Brown singing R&B know about Rock n' Roll?" First of all, Elvis as great and iconic as he was did not invent Rock n' Roll. Rock n' Roll is a music which finds its heart in the tradition of black artists that came before Elvis like Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Elvis made it acceptable for white crossover audiences to openly appreciate a black artform that had already existed.
+James “THE DOMINICAN” Santiago If he was such a racist do you think there would have been any backup singers that were black.. You can ask the late Whitney Houston mother.
James Santiago So you can say he is a racist but when it is pointed out to you that a famous Black female's mother sang backup for the person you dismiss it.
This is a very respectful, affectionate tribute. The guy sings well and obviously loves Elvis. Don't be too critical of the guy - Elvis songs are not easy to sing!
You got to hand to him he did his thang singing elvis song. I loved the way his voice sounded. I cant wait for him to come back cause i know he'll be even better!!!!
33 years after his death and Elvis still has people imitating him with a national audience watching. They know there will never be another entertainer like Elvis. The King of Rock.
Come on, nobody can compare nobody to Elvis, he's legend. Chris just did something sweet. I think he was really good. It's different and I'm glad he choose Elvis' great song.
why is people always bringing the negative side!! theres no need to bring the past incident up, or their skin colors! it doesnt matter if they're black or white! what matters here is music! he did a great job, i love them both Elvis and Chris! Elvis is a legend! and Chris can do anything! Rock Pop n RnB! This is about music people! judge them for their music! not for their actions!
people come on chris has honour for the greats, if he loves these artists let him do the tributes, people are so ignorant, hes not copying nothing, hes not saying its his song, hes keeping these guys alive, you haters know nothing
the guy literally did some type of side flip and danced a little bit...then once he started singing.....it sounded like he didn't do anything...you can't find talent like that too much...awesome
wow being an elvis fan i have to say that was a really great tribute!! he didnt make it too hip hop and stayed true to elvis with the dancing and the original melody! i liked it!!
Fair play, Great Performance. I think its good that todays artists such as chris brown, usher etc pay credit to the artists who paved the way for them!
But it's sure enough Elvis would love Chris performance as much as his own mainly ' cause Chris gives it all easily and naturally just like Elvis was always doing.I appreciate Chris dareness to show all his blend made by his talent through Elvis inspiration!It's pure creativity and not imitation at all.
I don't follow that much modern music, but I believe he did a tasteful tribute to one of the legends of rock. It's kinda nice that some of the younger generation are showing the rest of them that older forms of music paved the way. Anyway, love and respect all around, that's my motto.
"Jailhouse Rock" is easily my favorite Elvis tune, and while I'm not a fan of Chris Brown's music in general, I really like this performance! And yes, perhaps it is a tad ironic, what with all that's gone on in his life lately...
This back when Chris Brown had the raspy singing, listen to how he sings elvis song, Man this Chris Brown was dangerous back then, amazing singing and never flopped 💯💯🔥
This has got to be Chris Brown's best live performance in my opinion, dancing and singing was on point!
Chris did good!...great performance...yes Elvis did hang with da brothas for a minute!...
C
No
He sure did...started early in Tupelo Mississippi.
Myth has it that he tried to imitate African Americans voices and that supposedly won the record company but that's just a rumour myth tho
It was aight...but chris brown is a scumbag
This was one of Chris Brown's best performances and his vocals on point just raw. I loved it! #teambreezy #chrisbrown

Bruh who ELSE in the rnb business can say that they've paid elvis tribute publicly?
This really shows his versatility as an artist... he pulled off a major pitch change that alot of artists can't do. I think he did a great job in mixing the 2 types of music.
chris wasn't trying to show up elvis, he was showing love, he did really good on this preformance. Much love chris
I love the little funk they put into the chorus.. I love it. I'm amazed he didnt get more out of breath than what he did with all that dancing and flippin he did. That takes some lungs. GOOD JOB CHRIS!!!

It is hard to top Elvis but I always like to see new artists cover Elvis' songs. Thanks Chris.
anybody else notice he invented the pin drop before it even came out in late 2009- mid 2010? ...plus he hit them folks in run it too (2005) legend...nobody never wanna give chris credit
HOT HOT HOT version of this classic! Chris Brown rocked this out! I really liked the arrangement too!
EXCELLENT JOB. YOU GO CHRIS BROWN. ☺☺🙂🙂
Proof that the “machines” was about to push breezy into oblivion before the incident . They aren’t about to just let anybody tribute their precious Elvis on live tv
Facts
It's very rare to find an Elvis fan like you who respects black artists like Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, etc...
Fiona3000 i think jackie wilson was better than these guys including the over rated m jackson
i love it, didn't think i would, but at this tempo, with that bassline and drum beat, it just works, couldn't stop bouncing, and i'm usually a real lover of the originals
Everything was perfect ... One question why was it a jazz or blues version ... Elvis was rock and roll...
Because its a Classic song, you know classic music instrumental sound like
It was more hip hop to me ....
Ray Ramos elvis was rock country gospel blues and some opera
U
Enjoyed it as an elvis fan.
he did good dont matter if he didnt have the right voice for the song he did good
15 yrs later from this, Chris Brown outsells
I think Elvis is proud of Chris and his cover.
He prolly got himself a good sets of chuckles to go with it xD
Elvis presley is smiling so hard for this one, what a tribute. i expected no less from chris brown. one of the few artists today that actually have talent
This wasn't good. Chris Brown is a good hip hop dancer but he can't pull this off
Why do so many people hate on this clip?? Of course he is no Elvis and he will never sound like him...Because he is Chris Brown!!! He did a great job on this song. Nobody will ever do the song the same as Elvis, but you can't hate on Chris for singing a classic!
Chris can do it all. Talent, talent, talent. God Bless you Chris.
I love how people think Chris is trying to be Elvis!!! IT IS CALLED A COVER!!!!! Artists do it all of the time! And by the way, Elvis beat Pricilla, so stop judging!!!!! Damn good job, Chris!
Marva Champion ELVIS did not beat Priscilla. STOP LYING!
donn409 Awwww, you mad? Look that shit up! Never will I say something without research! Not only did he hit her a few times, he's done what yall are accusing Tyga of doing! He met her when she was 14 and started dating her, he's 10 years older than she is, do the math!
Marva Champion Your research is flawed! ELVIS respected women. To you this is another case of racism. ELVIS is not your enemy!
This is my last response to you! Don't be mad that your idol isn't what you thought! Yall so busy crucifying Chris, that you neglect the fact that there were grown as men before him who abused women! As for me being racist...#WHATEVER!!! That's what people throw out there when they're called on their shit! abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123860
Marva Champion I don't get mad. I tell the truth and you are a liar! You are being called on your shit!
dam, chris brown can sing any song and give me goosebummps.
"Cultural Appropriation" -sounds like the epitome of Social Engineering.
Singers should have the creative freedom to evoke any form of nostalgic experience in their fans. Just as long as they dedicate themself entirely to the delivery of the experience and not their own personal vanity/arrogance/pride.
Chris, you did well in this homage. I hope to see more.
Love his voice. It rough and it sounded good. Lol.
I love you CHRIS BREEZY!!!
This was good. One question. Why does this sound like Jazz? Isnt Elvis Rock N Roll
Luis Peralta Elvis was taking songs from unknown black artists he’s overrated either way
For a man who sings R&B... Chris brown did a fantastic job :)
im not much of a chris brown fan, but i'll say,he did a damn good job with this one!!!
singing live isnt easy... and he rocked it!!!
I totally agree wit U ednigga !! Hes screamin & not singin with enough SOUL !!! Long Live THE KING !!!!!

my mom loved elvis and we grew up on his movies
Bruno Mars would do it much better.
Nah.
Bruno Mars is good dancing,but Chris Brown is so much Better
Oscar shut yo damn ass up
I am not the biggest Chris Brown fan, but i think he done a great job with this song....Not the easiest to sing, but he done a very good job with it!!! His voice is good all the way through, and he is a good performer, cant fault his efforts for this song!!!!
Chris brown just killed Elvis awesome song jailhouse rock!!!

not good... not even close to elvis. Voice isn't strong enough, and can barely breathe. Guess he doesn't really know how to sing then eh?
this is better sorry
nobody gives a fuck about stiff ass racist Elvis fuck that nigga
+James “THE DOMINICAN” Santiago If he was such a racist do you think there would have been any backup singers that were black.. You can ask the late Whitney Houston mother.
Lzuniga317 man shut the fuck up
James Santiago So you can say he is a racist but when it is pointed out to you that a famous Black female's mother sang backup for the person you dismiss it.
I never really got that into Chris Brown that much, and I STILL love this!
The worst!!!!!!!
Norlan Lovo-Campos You're channel looks like shit
Good job Chris. I love u, always have and always will. U mean more than the world to me.
I liked this a lot..Was a lot better then expected.
wow this is really great he can sing anything!!!!! he's the best!!!
This is a very respectful, affectionate tribute. The guy sings well and obviously loves Elvis. Don't be too critical of the guy - Elvis songs are not easy to sing!
a decent recreation of an old song, and Brown does a fantastic job at doing Elvis' style, yet making it distinctively his. A brilliant job i must say.
Chris is a really nice, talented young man.
He did better than I could do. Good job Chris.
Omg he sounds so great
You got to hand to him he did his thang singing elvis song. I loved the way his voice sounded. I cant wait for him to come back cause i know he'll be even better!!!!
I could see Chris being around in 50 years. I could see him being alive in 50 years too.
33 years after his death and Elvis still has people imitating him with a national audience watching. They know there will never be another entertainer like Elvis. The King of Rock.
wow!! chris brown is one of the best dancers in the world!!!!! :)
Come on, nobody can compare nobody to Elvis, he's legend.
Chris just did something sweet. I think he was really good. It's different and I'm glad he choose Elvis' great song.
i like it!!!
he may not do like elvis does but he still rocked it out!!!
I love the old school sound with the new school moves!!
Chris Brown is the best dancer and performer out right now!

By far my favorite Chris Brown performance. #breezydoesit!!!!!!!!!!!! 2011 is you Christopher F.A.M.E. & FORTUNE
CHRIS !!! I will always be on your side!
why is people always bringing the negative side!! theres no need to bring the past incident up, or their skin colors! it doesnt matter if they're black or white! what matters here is music! he did a great job, i love them both Elvis and Chris!
Elvis is a legend! and Chris can do anything! Rock Pop n RnB! This is about music people! judge them for their music! not for their actions!
people come on chris has honour for the greats, if he loves these artists let him do the tributes, people are so ignorant, hes not copying nothing, hes not saying its his song, hes keeping these guys alive, you haters know nothing

Fair play, Great Performance. I think its good that todays artists such as chris brown, usher etc pay credit to the artists who paved the way for them!
I wish someone would upload the REST of "Movies Rock!"
im loving the bass
But it's sure enough Elvis would love Chris performance as much as his own mainly ' cause Chris gives it all easily and naturally just like Elvis was always doing.I appreciate Chris dareness to show all his blend made by his talent through Elvis inspiration!It's pure creativity and not imitation at all.
it's cool-but most people don't understand a tribute isn't aimed at being better than the original. It's re-living the nostalgia that's it's usp.
Nice! I love the funky-jazz sound! Really nice! Chapeau!!
I don't follow that much modern music, but I believe he did a tasteful tribute to one of the legends of rock. It's kinda nice that some of the younger generation are showing the rest of them that older forms of music paved the way. Anyway, love and respect all around, that's my motto.
i still i love this boy no matter what
Mumah, I knew Chris was good but my God I think he even otustood himself with that performance. seeriously, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
"Jailhouse Rock" is easily my favorite Elvis tune, and while I'm not a fan of Chris Brown's music in general, I really like this performance!
And yes, perhaps it is a tad ironic, what with all that's gone on in his life lately...
i am in love with chris! hes sooooooooooooooooooooooo loveable
i love his voice!!! he is so amazing!!!!!!!
i love it when he put that bass in his voice :)
