The only two people who sing Elvis songs that give me goosebumps are ELVIS and BOUKE. He has everything an imitator does not have, who has to rely on looks and the rest does not come close (often) and that is exactly what Bouke does not want, he just wants to remain himself, with his own identity, singing Elvis songs with his tribute band, and yet to let that great voice live on and that bit of show is part of it, that has to stay..... Bouke is blessed with such vocal cords that are so wonderfully close to the voice and tembre of Elvis's voice. I am proud of Bouke, the man from "my" province of Drenthe In The Netherlands , he from the south of the province and I from the north of it. Thank you Bouke. Greetings Gerdina Kleiker-Visser.
Thank you for that. Thank Bouke does come out trying to look like Elvis. Only Elvis could pull off that look. The clowns that try to look like him are insulting Elvis. Bouke LOOKS great just the way he is. He was Blessed with a Beautiful voice. God Bless Bouke 🙏🙏🙏🙏💋💋💋
Bouke has the incredible voice without the influences that hurt Elvis. His team starting with Dad and Mom are so supportive, and he has a great team that helps him make it happen. So much goes into the success from a good manager, good advice, loyal musicians who love to play with him, excellent promotion by so many people who record and post his appearances. I'm so glad that you, HIghly Combustible, are following and reacting to his work now. You know he is not an impersonator. The Elvis music fits his voice so well and it give us the gift of continuing to enjoy that incredible voice and performance quality he shares with Elvis. And the tribute programs and trips that he made to the US to film Elvis' beginnings show the respect he has for Elvis's work. More at the Toppers concert at the end of May. Bouke is on his own path, and it is leading him to recognition round the world. So very well deserved.!!!
My favorite Elvis song ...... nobody really nobody could match Elvis for me .... until Bouke performed 10 years ago in the TV program Waar is Elvis , then I said yes okay this young man honors Elvis and still remains himself ....i love him💖
Giid thar you said something about the Greedy bastards, yeh they are they are the ones who set the whole world on fire, instead of peace and understanding. Love you so much for that... And Bouke he is one of a kind, a humble person who has Elvis in his mind and knows who Elvis was and is in his live, his voice is completly heartbreaking. He warms us in this hactic world and thats what we need allll.
This is spot on! There is a mashup on line that overlays this recording with Elvis live version and in most of the song the voices are indistinguishable. Love Bouke
If this is just based on this video,perhaps you should watch more of his video's on tik tok and youtube.It'll maybe change your mind. It's a tribute band and is not impersonating him.Its his real voice. 2 times invited to sing on Graceland by Elvis' family.They say he's the best and comes closest to Elvis.
Are you really your a Dean Z lover I supose the one who thinks he is Elvis, Bouke never ever will be Elvis, his dont own nothing else then a besutiful voice and even Pricilla and Late Lisa Marie knows they invited him on Graceland two times. Its all aout keeping Elvis alive and he is not a imitator he has his own voice. And yes he comes very very close to Elvis. no doubt about that. But Bouke is Bouke not Elvis.
You are right, he doesn't come close to Elvis, he far exceeds Elvis. He is clean, sober, upright, admirable, fit, and stays true to himself. He loves his family, his country and his hometown and is not obsessed with wealth or fame. Bouke is #1 in my book.
