I want to thank you so very much for this video!! My mother is the young lady with the “V” striped sweater at the very beginning. She passed away in 2012 and it really makes me smile that I can see her smile again
I think the girls went so nuts for Elvis because A. Society was pretty "repressed" back then if ya know what I mean B. Suddenly this handsome fella's shakin' what he's got in a way they'd never seen before C. For the time, his music rock hard af
joshua schmit Shane Blankenship Or they could've pressed the wrong button. I do it sometimes. You never know 🤷♀️ I love how people automatically jump the gun to assume its "he's stupid" and not "it could've been a typo"...
Young adults and teenagers of the "Silent Generation", born during the Great Depression and World War II years, rebelled against their parents' conservative generation to make their own generation's Elvis the most popular cultural icon of the fifties. Heartfelt thanks to them, grandmas and grandpas today, from a fan born much later.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 Boomers were born from 1946 (post WW2) until 1964. So the oldest boomers, who were born in 1946, would be 13 years old only in 1959, when EP was already in the army and had already given his final stage performance of the fifties on November 11, 1957. Elvis entered the US Army on March 24, 1958. So IMHO, the Boomers were too late for '50s Elvis, but just right for the '60s Beatles. I would say the Boomers made the Beatles famous. Young Elvis belongs to his brilliant 'Silent' fans.
@@cnath3466 I forgot they keep moving them up, they were originally born in 44 or so. Which I've seen people born in 44 resemble boomers more than people born in 42 or earlier. But whatever. Either way boomers enjoyed Elvis as well, as they were middle school age, early teens etc.
Before One Direction Before Justin Bieber Before Usher Before Nysync Before Backstreet Boys Before Hanson Before New Kids On The Block Before New Edition Before Michael Jackson Before Leif Garrett Before Andy Gibb Before The Jackskn 5 Before David Cassidy Before The Beatles Before Ricky Nelson The Man That Invented FANGIRLING ELVIS AARON PRESLEY THE KING OF ROCK & ROLL
I mean considering he is the most covered and copied artist of all time it only makes sense and he has sold more albums than michael jackson amd the Beatles combined... also speaking of michael jackson you can see how influenced michael jackson was by elvis and how much he always looked up to him amd copied him (or tried to) of you put elvis in concert next to michael jackson in concert you will see the same "highwater pants" with the same white socks and Michaels key dance move was standing on his toes and dancing like elvis did all the time some instances of him doing it are the song "hound dog" and "jailhouse rock" also elvis was given the title "the king" by tje entire world and in an attempt to mimic even that michael gave himself the title "the king of pop" (yes he gave himself the title and everyone just started calling him it because he preffered it is why once he died people started calling other artists the "king of pop" but no one else has tried the take the title of "the king" and they have never been offered it either which should say a lot)
Well, now they look up to bullshit "musicians" who fix their voices through computers and in general have no musical talent, but they're popular so they flock to them. Popularity has become quality, quality has become a rarity.
@@NotJoegoldberg Nah it's basically the same just with new tech. There are fangirls for school shooters and criminals now. Also stan accounts are just annoying
I am a 15 year old who absolutely loves Elvis. His voice and moves are so unique and he’s songs are so catchy and easy to learn. As a newish fan (but I’ve done my research) i can see why the girls back then went crazy for him. After listening to a couple of his songs he quickly became my favourite artist, I would have loved to see him live, that would’ve been a dream come true. I would definitely be like those girls, screaming at his presence :) Rest In Peace, King 🫶🏻🤘🏻
Elvis achieved his Mania status by his undoubted good looks and his manufactured itinerary, while the Beatles achieved their Mania by writing and performing their own ‘never to be forgotten’ songs, and at the same time speaking their minds for good or ill.
Think about it. Elvis Presley was what Justin Bieber became back in the 2010s. He walked so the likes of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Backstreet Boys and so many other great bands and singers could run and later fly. There's a reason he's considered one of the all-time greats and the reactions he drew from women is just the tip of the iceberg.
None of those guys were close to Elvis level with chick's. Especially since this was a time where people were used to stiff musicians, playing slower songs. Then this young attractive guy with a great voice and dance moves comes up, and girls went crazy on a level that has never been seen again. Beatles and Jackson had alot of guys help their success, Elvis is the #1 selling solo artist, and did it off the backs of women.
I understand that he is handsome but I wonder why the reaction from the girls is so strong, like they’re overloaded with excitement and some of them look like they can’t handle it. Tbh I’m kind of jealous, I don’t think I’ve ever been that excited.
i'm thinking it's mostly disbelief when seeing in person someone who's so famous and who they are also so into, maybe it was not so easy to get to see him live. And also being part of a mass, it gets sort of contagious, you just lose control when everybody does.. It also helps that he's so charismatic and a bit lascivious in his dance moves, good dancer anyway, and a skilled voice that is powerful and velvety. It's music, great hits you know by heart, dancing, loose atmosphere, attraction, and mass hysteria :)
Well it was because he looked different then all the guys back then, he was extremely good looking and had insane sex appeal , charisma threw the roof, and the way he sang and dressed was flashy, plus he brought this Rock N Roll music to the masses
This just makes me laugh and smile like an idiot. Fangirling and fanboying was alive and well in the 50's. It's not a new thing at all! Our grandmothers and mothers would've been there screaming over Elvis like how we scream over Anime or BTS!
My great aunt got kicked off the plane in Graceland for touching Elvis’ bed, she also was in the house and yelled upstairs “I KNOW YOURE UP THERE E, I KNOW YOURE STILL ALIVE” to sum it up, very accurate video
No other has ever had the effect on females like Elvis Presley and I don't believe any other ever will, all the boyfriend's of the girls hated him for that but it wasn't his fault he was just doing what he was best at and that was singing that's what he loved and if you could sing like Elvis you would be crazy not to do it.
EEEVERY man in that audience was JUST LIKE US MAN!! They were like WTF!!!!??? And the women were like..... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Nobody could connect with an audience of females, and males like ELVIS PRESLEY did. HE WAS THE BEST AT IT. Michael Jackson and all the rest looked at these old videos of Elvis and had to create their own style but they ALL MODELED ELVIS.

i thought the movie exagerrated the sexual part of the attraction. Like all the girls saw was his pelvis and all they thought was just plain sex. But the attraction is more complex, it's also admiration for this talent, it's his entertainment, his charisma etc.
Back when singers had true talent. There was no auto tune or technology to assist you in singing. Nowadays, just having a mediocre singing voice can get you famous.
In the 50's we had Elvis Mania In the 60's we had Beatlemania In the 70's We had Jackson 5 mania In the 80's we Had MJ mania In the 90's we had The Backstreet Boys mania In the 2000's we had Britney Spears/N'Sync Mania In the early 2010's we had Bieber Fever/One Direction Infection In the 20's we have BTS/K-pop/Taylor Swift mania
Love when Elvis dances on his toes. No one so called fake singer of today can sing as good as Elvis because they need auto tune to sound as good As Elvis.tcb
In the 1940s there were fan girls for Frank Sinatra, in the 1950s there were fan girls for Elvis Presley, in the 1960s there were fan girls for The Beatles
If I ever got to meet him id don't know what I do Probably my face would be like super red (I blush easily)or maybe I'd ask to get a picture with him and give him a hug ,or I would stand frozen with shock of seeing him(ofc not long though) idk🤷♀️ but I am a huge fan of Elvis
Watch a youtube clips of elvis movie hayride perf. Some jerk said the movie exaggerated the girls then someone replies with the link of this video, perfect response lol😂😂
Also noting that these are very religious times, so seeing a man sway like that must of been something else entirely, I can understand why women reacted that way. Things really do change.
i thought they portrayed the fans' attraction as plain sexual, all just obsessed with his pelvis.. yes, they were hysterical, but the movie exaggerated the sexual part of the girls' adulation.
@@kaliani2 No not really, Elvis had his clothes ripped off of him many times, one time girls literally tore his pants off of him, while he was singing, they don’t show it in the movie
I just found two long Articles about Elvis' Early Days and how everyone REACTED to Elvis. Article; ELVIS-Sun 1955 (8) - 706 Union Avenue "pandemonium" broke out when Elvis took the Stage. Gladys and Vernon made it to Little Rock specifically to meet again with "parker" at Elvis' insistence. As extra incentive "parker" brought with him Whitney Ford, The Duke of Paducah. He was a favorite of "Gladys". THE PRESLEYS STILL DID NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH "parker"! ! ! THE PRESLEY SAID HE COULD BE A "special advisor", NOTHING ELSE! ! Shows Vernon and Gladys WAS NOT "stupid" about GREEDY "parker". ARTICLE; ELVIS-Sun 19 (9) - 706 Union Avenue. I'm "sorry" :) :) :) all the stuff about "poor" Webb Pierce. . .I can't help but LAUGH. . . . .just like the youtube videos done by Hank Snow's son, Jimmy Rodgers Snow. Elvis name on the ad bills. . . .LAUGHING. . .not one person had a "chance" before Elvis, Scotty and Bill came on AND WHY HANK SNOW PUT ELVIS ON LAST AND HE COULD ENTERTAIN AND PLAY WITH THE AUDIENCES AS LONG AS HE WANTED. The other artists on the Ad Bill went to motel, eat, headed for next Town. ALL the PEOPLE he met and were FRIENDS with. Many were in the Music Business until they passed. Many TRAGIC stories, Johnny Horton and Band members, vehicle collision less than 2 years of his big break :( David Huston, brain aneurysm at 57/58 years old and OTHERS. . . . . .long list. . . . . . .
