Elvis Impersonators, er, Tribute Artists to Gather in Memphis

Posted by John Branston on Tue, Jul 31, 2007 at 4:00 AM

Elvis "tribute artists" from all over the country will vie for the title "Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist of 2007" this month in Memphis.

In the finals competition, set to take place during Elvis Week, winners of preliminary rounds in far-off places from around the globe will be flown into Memphis to battle for the supreme title.

And the winner gets more just a hunka hunka burnin' love from devoted Elvis fans. The title comes with $5,000 cash, a $5,000 Graceland shopping spree, a jumpsuit valued at $3,000, a championship belt, a Sun Records recording session in Nashville, and a contract to perform on the first-ever Elvis Tribute Cruise. For more information, check out Elvis' website.

Elvis Presley became World renowned because of his extraordinary beautiful and versatile voice. Elvis once famously said,"I Dont Sound Like Nobody". Now Nobodies Dont Sound like Him, Either. http://irelandtoo.blogspot.com But I guess, to be fair, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Bless 'em all.
