FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Elvis Presley, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Always On My Mind 

LOVE IT WHEN YOU TALK❤

Alot of people listen to Elvis ..but once you "hear" Elvis.there is a connection to him that never breaks😊

You say it like it is...When you discover Elvis, and let him into your soul, there's an emotional connection. No other artist can come closer ,like he's singing from his soul into yours....He still does it to me. Subbed to see more Elvis reactions.

We know Elvis is dead, But yet you’ll get much more entertainment in your life from him then those alive today. By far.

Better late than never! Elvis connects with SO many men and woman!❤

Elvis, said once to his wife Precilla that his greatest fear was that he would be forgotten, Elvis fans are determined that that wont ever happen

Love you finding Elvis ! He was remarkable. As John Lennon said, "Before Elvis, there was nothing"

There's been so many bad impersonators of Elvis. You have to experience the "Real" thing to grasp the magnitude of Elvis. I'm 66 and people used to make fun of me for being an Elvis fan. Especially during the "Hippy" and "Beatles" Era. I didn't care...he was the REAL thing! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸

Also a must-see is Elvis Presley performing Bridge Over Troubled Water, live in concert, in the white suit (like the one that he wore while performing "In the Ghetto"). It has some of the best sound and his vocal range is so incredible on that one. You won't be disappointed❤

Welcome to the Elvis Fan Club! ❤ Don't be so hard on yourself - just enjoy Elvis now and in the future 😊❤

Please don’t feel guilty, you are young and innocent, instead please feel blessed. You are fortunate to learn about one of the most celebrated artists of my lifetime. 🙏✝❤🇺🇸

Once his voice gets into your heart and soul ....he stays there forever.

I love your reactions to Elvis. Please continue! ❤

You are so right. When Elvis sings so much more happens than the music. He is a gift from God to heal hearts, to bring joy and encouragement and so much more. He took me from a divorce after 32 years of marriage to being happy and whole again. So many stories like mine as well. Enjoy ! I'll be seeing him with new eyes thru your Elvis journey! 😍 Spread the Elvis love!

Don't feel guilty. Enjoy the journey. There are a lot of us out here that have been fans for a long long time. We have heard everything that Elvis recorded. You get to hear his songs for the first time!. We are envious of you.

You said you couldn't stay away from Elvis,well I've been trying to for 51 years since i was 10 and i have to admit that it's never going to happen ,once an Elvis fan,ALWAYS an Elvis fan ,till the day you die !😍

I grew up with Elvis. When one of his movies came on we sat down and didn't speak until the commercial then my mom would have us do whatever we needed. He was a very very very special man. If you have never visited Graceland you need to. There is a trophy room with all his accolades and you can FEEL him. All the thank yous from his donations to things to improve kids lives. Its amazing. And when you walk around where the airplane and tour bus are they play on a loop "American Trilogy" and they have a theater playing his funeral procession. You can FEEL him just as strong in death as he was in life. AND I am so happy people are realizing what a HUMANE man he was.

Don't feel guilty. You are not alone. So many are coming to know him. I thank you so much for coming to love Elvis like I always have.

GOD put ELVIS on this earth for all of us so we can feel better about each other and our self's !

There's a reason why he is the king of music.

You are so right about Elvis. I guess we all connect with him and with his soul and his music it’s something unexplainable.

one of my Elvis favorites, with guitar crying

Don't feel guilty. I have been protesting the imitators, impersonators, apers of Elvis for years. So many young people think Elvis was a joke or a clown because of them. I believe most of them do it because it helps them get women. I really can't stand them. It isn't a tribute, it is an insult. Impersonating a famous person used to be a comedy act. It still is. Your reactions are sincere and heartfelt and I love that you are discovering his genius. He is the best. I saw 13 concerts, he was even better in person and also the nicest man I ever met. My family lived next to Graceland and my sister worked for him.

Don’t feel guilty …. People only remember the negatives and the media compound it by depicting Elvis as a caricature of himself. Pricilla Presley knew that Elvis dreamed of performing with a full,80 piece orchestra. In Vegas, there was only room in venues for up to 30 instruments. So ,in 2015, she worked with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, in the Abbey Road studios. They produced a fabulous album of his songs and it went straight to number one, If I Could dream. This was followed by The Wonder of you and actual concerts at the O2 in London with him up on a big screen and the live Orchestra playing. It was as though he really was in the building!! . Love seeing your dawning understanding of the talent and uniqueness that is Elvis. Thank you for keeping him relevant in todays times. Elvis himself was always worried that people would forget about him. He’d be so humble and chuffed that you are a fan. He loved all his fans. 👌💕🕺🙏

He is much more than what some people have passed along . People talk about him before they really have listened to him. I am so glad you are now discovering the real Elvis.

I am waiting to see your reaction to Elvis and The Black Community. I LOVE your reactions to Elvis!❤

I became and ELVIS FAN when I was 6 years old. I was changing channels looking for cartoons and suddenly this man named Elvis came on the screen. It was his movie King Creole. I was captured by this guy. I saw his great smile. The music was something I had never heard. You pointed out exactly what happened to me. I connected with him like I had known him all my life. He has a way of making you believe he is taking to just you alone. I am now 68 years old and still the biggest fan ever. I saw him 3 times in concert and the electricity he brought into the crowd was insane. Elvis seems to have magic powers. He is there when you need him. I listen to him all the time. He touches your soul. Thanks for your channel. Glad I found it. :)

Keep listening! His gospel, country, you're gonna love it all

NOW, you understand the Obession people have with him. EVERY Elvis fan come for a song or two, He has over 1,300 SONGS! HIS BEST ONES AREN'T EVEN KNOWN BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC ANYMORE!! He has a different sound in each phase of his life. So it really depends on your musical interests that makes one Era resonate with you the most. Then once you read up on Elvis it's an ENTIRE SUBCULTURE of its own!!!! It depends on your intrest outside of music. His homes, his cars (Over 300+), his custom clothes and stage wear (Over 78 Jumpsuits alone from 1969-1977), his Jewelry (Over 1,000+ pieces), His instruments, His Girlfriends (All had music or film careers of their own except 2), his Movies (34), Then concert tours, locations, years and HUNDREDS of recordings from recording ever concert. Once you start reading on this man you will bond with his story and just what an AMAZING person he was. He was NOTHING like rock stars of the 1970s. He was almost a 25yr old good old boy his entire life. He gave away everything he had and everything he had ever earned to friends, charity and ANYONE in need. The BEST most mind blowing part is what an AMAZING PERSON - HUMAN BEING- and these young kids have no clue unless they pic up a book. All his friends and fans from his lifetime are almost all gone.

i have now seen 5 of your reaction's on elvis and i for one have noticed you are like me , forget the bling the suit , the legend ...........you listen to the music the lyrics and you feel them live them and are touched as if it was you he sang to ........that is how i have felt for the past 55 years ( i am 62 years old ) and counting , even my great children get it ! thank you for the reactions , sincere and full of feelings ...............

If you don't love Elvis.. you don't actually listen to his voice... I know I'm predjudiced.. because my Mamma raised me on this man... but I love his voice.

Don't feel guilty the mainstream media doesn't do him justice, it doesn't help that all these cheap trick impersonators do him abdolutley no justice, his Vegas days were actually great...you gotta watch his live versions from Vegas he'll blow you away! American Trilogy from Hawaii is fire, his look from that is usually copied by impersonators but like I said they do him no justice and other artists have drug him through the mud for ever, they make him a joke like you said but the more you see and hear of him the real Elvis he is no joke! Don't feel bad about connecting to him I feel the same way and I was born in the eighties I grew up listening to him and other oldies I loved the old stuff since I was a kid but since seeing the movie I really started to take a deep dive not just into the sexy singing Elvis I've always loved but into the person he was and still is he changes lives and hearts still after being gone for so long the more you find out even with all his imperfections you fall more and more in love with his heart and soul I feel like he has become these past few months a good friend and big brother and like you I never met him but you know him somehow by his heart and soul he shares with you in his songs, his voice and manner and just personality. I think this world needs more of that and I they get it with Elvis that's okay! The movie I don't think did him justice in a way because they left out his humor and laughter he was quite funny like I said I grew up watching and listening to him but not quite appreciating his depth you need to see how he was with people and just how kind and generous he always was to his fans and people who worked for him... I wish the movie would have shown that and less of the Colonel but on the other hand the Elvis movie did him the greatest justice of bringing people to his music and they are deep diving and seeing more than was in the movie or more than was shown of him in the disgraceful and joke of impressions and jokes made about him through the decades.

You mentioned Elvis & his costumes. I once heard Elvis say that his dress/outfits/costumes evolved over time but one very important purpose of the costume was to make sure fans could identify Elvis on stage, especially fans in the nosebleed section. Elvis really cared that a fan got what they paid for. If you paid to see Elvis but all you could see was a bunch of people on stage & couldn't identify Elvis, you might be dissapointed & he didn't want that. So the costumes were designed to make him"standout" & were created & colored depending on the stage/arena he played Thats one reason he said "capes" soon became a part of the outfit; he would hold the cape open wide as he turned for the audience and get down on one knee, making it a great photo opportunity .....even far off you knew you just saw ELVIS and thats what you paid for & yiu were estatic. Elvis loved & cared for his fans, we loved him back & always will.

This was after his divorce it threw him for a while. Hope you can do "Kentucky Rain". and don't forvet, " Elvis Presley and the Black Community", you'll understand the challenges he faced. His life wasn't always easy. You just wait till you see the wonderful vids of what humanitarian.he was. You are a great guy, love your honesty. Thanks for listening.

Elvis captures you from every angle

BROTHER...YOU HIT THAT ON THE HEAD! HE DRAWS YOU IN BECAUSE OF HIS VOCAL ABILITIES AND DELIVERY IS UNMATCHED! AWESOME AWESOME REACTION MY BROTHER! YOURE AWESOME 👌

My great-great-nephews are 4,2 and 1 and they all love Elvis. His music always calms them down if they're fussy or gets them dancing if I play some of his more uptempo songs.

I love watching you listen to Elvis. I am seeing and hearing Elvis for the first time through you. I’ve been loving him for 50 years and love seeing you become a fan! God Bless ❤

Elvis has been gone from this world longer than he was in it and I love that people are still discovering him. I fell in love with him 32 years ago when I was 16 and everyone thought I was weird. Once you truly listen to his voice and know who he was you're a lifelong fan. Appreciate you.

Love it how you close your eyes, I do the same sometimes listening to Elvis.. My mum & dad were Elvis fans, so we grew up listening to everything Elvis.. Fabulous, wonderful singer..

I had a very similar emotional experience coming out of the Elvis film last year... something about his story just resonated and led me into a deep dive on his life and career. I went home and watched some of his live performances for the first time and was brought to tears because I felt I had totally misunderstood who he was as an artist and a human being. I hate how pop culture has twisted his image into a parody, because it robbed me of decades that I could've been enjoying this man's music and soul! Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy your own journey into Elvis. Great reactions.

You have Elvis at the top then everyone have one else there is no one better then this beautiful soul and Elvis received Grammy awards for gospel music only none for his ballads or rock

I don't understand why the Black community has been taught that Elvis was a racist and that he mistreated the Black community. How wrong!! This was a man who was born in one of the worst poverty situations at that time. Grew up around the Black community, attended Black churches and listened to Black music of that time. Just like any young man who is trying to find himself, he took things that influenced him and applied to who he was becoming. So musicly he put all that influenced him together. He created a sound back then that society hadn't fully heard before. Yes he did use Black music as well as country and western, gospel, blues. And Blended into his style.

Semplicemente e unico Elvis grazie.🎸🎤👑💯

Beautiful reaction

I love watching his live concerts, this is where he uses that big voice of his, yes he draws you into his soul and spirit, he sings every song with deep feeling and passion. Watch his lives its deep

Elvis was so good to hear and look at,his videos.

So many profound words and thoughts there it's impossible to comment. But as a sixty-year-old and a musician my whole life, it's really fascinating to see all the different ways that people react someone who's been dead nearly half a century. But his music, his personality, his story, incredible tight and wonderful bands that he put together oh, it's just pretty amazing.

He treated everyone the same, didn't matter of your race. Fact- James Brown was the first person and the last person to leave Elvis' wake. They were great friends. They had respect for each other.

So happy that you're experiencing this incredible man no matter how long it took ... and I might say to throw the guilt you feel out the window. Elvis, IMO, wouldn't want anyone to feel that way. The heart, soul & love Elvis had for his fellowman was beyond "normal" .. He "turned the other cheek" to many times to count thru his short life...but he never strayed from his passion of music and his equal passion of just wanting to make people happy. He said "I wonder if anyone will remember me"..... here we are decades later and more and more young people are loving what he had to offer. No one like him ... then ....now.....or forever. Beautiful reaction and thank you! ~~ Sharon

Around 2016-7, they took Elvis's vocals and recorded them with the Philharmonic Orchestra, they really are masterpieces!

Lord this time you gave me a mountain. Great song by Elvis ❤️🇦🇺🐨🐨🐨

This Elvis movie REALLY hit home for a LOT OF PEOPLE that did NOT consider themselves Elvis fans. Thinking he was a joke, or racist. He was SO FAR away from those two things its not even funny. And the MOVIE and Elvis reactors like yourself have FINALLY cracked through the BS that sadly encapsulated Presley by people that just wanted to see him hurt or worse. E was a NICE GUY to the core, and I think todays generation is smarter than the last and is really enjoying their dive into Elvis' body of work and his extreme talent.

Hey sweetheart it's not being stupid at all , so many people are finding out the.ttuth about this beautiful man, Elvis is.on a planet by himself when it comes to music and.performing it to a level that no others are going to touch your soul like this man Elvis does in every performance , i have seen some of your Elvis reactions and Love the way you express i feelings about it never too late to discover the Greatest Voice and Entertainer that will ever be my request is for Walk a mile in my shoes , I know you will love it Always ELVIS Forever and Always TCB 1935

There is a video of Elvis recording this song in studio with a photo montage. It is a must see to get the full effect of this beautiful song and man

I’m an Aussie and was 15 when Elvis died and would have given anything to have seen him in concert, to have touched his hand, to have been one of the lucky ones to receive a scarf or kiss 💔

I love your comments..true example of your souls reflection in proximity with his..your a beautiful soul.🙏🙏

What you said after the completion of the song was beautiful. What you describe about feeling guilty for not having previously given him a chance or judging him prematurely, if anyone would have understood and forgiven you it would have been him. He sang an amazing song about not judging others until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Once you really read about him in depth you discover this amazing person. He was a very human person. That’s not dismissing the very real inner conflicts he had but that he was a very real human being who at times stumbled like any of us do in our lives. In my opinion there are so many things that made him so lovable. What you said about the emotional connection is very real because he was real. He wasn’t just “performing”…he was communicating with other people in the way that he knew how. That is one reason why people after all these years still not only listen but CONNECT with him. Continue exploring his recordings and concerts. He will not disappoint you. There was a reason that Bob Dylan wouldn’t talk to anyone for over a week after Elvis died. There are reasons why all these years after his death, he still has millions of fans. There will never be anyone who communicates the DEPTH OF EMOTION through song as Elvis Presley.

You are so perceptive. You get to he heart of the matter of why we think the way we do, and how we could easily let others do our thinking for us and deprive us of the experience of things misunderstood.. And you've made me appreciate, properly, for the first time, this modern orchestral re-imagining of the sincere, soulful pop-country interpretation that Elvis delivered one day in 1972. That's why I've just subscribed for more of your thoughts!

I’ve subscribed so I don’t miss any new Elvis reactions! You’re in for a treat!

At 71 years old, I feel privileged to have grown up with the likes of Elvis. He is such an entertainer. He could be really funny on stage and then switch completely and sing something like 'In the Ghetto'! One of my favourites has always been Kentucky Rain and I also She's not You. I live in the UK so was never able to see him so thank goodness for RU-vid 😊

At one of his concerts when singing this song, he said,”hear me Cilla”.

Welcome to the party of the Greatest . His Gospel will bring you to the Lord and in some cases tears. Great job !

Love your reaction. More please 💕💕💕💕

ye mate Elvis' voice just touches you like no other - was getting divorced at this time. Try What Now My Love (aloha rehearsal 1973 ) or Cant Stop Loving You or Never Been to spain from 1972, or Loving Arms or Sound of your cry. Fckn Extraordinary. Welcome to the Elvis Rabbit Hole.

I have been an Elvis fan since I was a child and I was made fun of too because all my friends were into The Bee Gees (who are great too), Kenny Loggins, Lionel Richie, etc…although all those artists are talented there has never been anyone like Elvis--he has the range of opera, the soul of R & B, the longing of country, the hope of gospel, the rhythm of the blues, and the drive of rock and roll-Elvis could sing any style of music because his voice literally brought all styles to the table. I would listen to him for hours growing up and I finally got to see him perform in person in 1976-when they played the entrance music and he burst on stage everyone was already crying.🤪 It was just emotional because his voice touches your soul like it was powered by the Holy Spirit.❤

Johnny Carson once said, “If life was fair Elvis would still be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.”

Great reaction... so much more out there... I feel it too.. can't wait to see what you listen to next. 👍

I thought exactly the same as you about Elvis for many years. Then last summer I listened to his songs 'properly' and I fell in love with him . He is the ONLY singer that touched my soul. He has made me cry listening to some of his 'meaningful' songs and made me happy listening to his 'upbeat' songs. There is an emotional connection which is so strong that I cannot explain it. I had the same 'guilty' feeling when I first became a fan. Elvis is truly GOAT ❤

Like your deep reaction, man! Glad, you discovered the greatest. Many stars have come and gone, but E1vis is the whole universe! The GOAT. I am a fan for 45 years.Elvis touches my heart and soul as I was 8 years old. And I am from Germany.This love last forever. Please react to ANY DAY NOW. Thanks.

Hiya love Elvis the king been a fan since I was five now I am 48 ,went to Gracelands in February it was great to see his humble beginnings to how he made it ,I have a suggestion for you , You gave me a mountain is my favourite song as it speaks to me as I have had struggles like the one he is talking about.keep up the great work.

So sad that he didn’t know to take a different path in life because he was the most handsome and talented man in the world

some more of his hits you may like to respond to are: the American Trilogy in Las Vegas, and How Great Thou Art, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Suspicious Minds..just to name a few,,

Thank you!!💙💙 for LISTENING. We will forever be grateful to God!, for giving us that beautiful voice that will never ever be duplicated.

So beautiful ❤R.I.P 🙏😘

Elvis was just perfection . He had it all and was a genius at his craft. Elvis lives 💙

Pretty song!! Love it! 💜

I'm so glad that you feel the real Elvis. I have listened to him since the day I was born and brought home from the hospital. There will never be another like hi. I cry every time I hear him sing. Thank you for becoming a fan.

Welcome In GrassHopper ! Enjoy

beautiful

Love listening to Elvis!! Totally agree with you about he reaches your soul

No doubt the greatest singer of all time. No one comes close.

Elvis delivers! Thanks!

The greatest voice God ever created!..😉

There is around 150 Elvis songs this gpoe, another 250 a level under (still greats), so good Journey. Try listening to "Such a night" from 1960, and "long black limousine" from 1969 too .

I've listened this song thousands times but it still touch me, I really regrets the mistake I've done 23 years ago, I should have told her my loves for her 😢😢, the biggest mistake of my life, it's hard to breathe listening to this song . 😢😢,

I love the way you speak about Elvis Presley. I never get tired listening to him singing. I grew up listening to him singing. Please, react to one of his hit song recorded live in Honolulu Hawaii 1973. Title: "YOU GAVE ME A MOUNTAIN."

I appreciate and love everything you are saying about Elvis. I am happy you know the real Elvis now. He was the best artist and he left us too soon.❤️😢

we love Elvis and his music in the same intense emotion

Much respect. Your approach to Elvis (moving past your own previous viewpoints of him) to learning more & appreciating him more Is the epitome of open-mindedness. And it's interesting to me that i've seen others say they've had the same awakening when they've started their own deep dive on Elvis. Many say once they start learning more abt EP, then they realize how much they missed out on. I myself always love learning new things about other legends that I didn't know in the past.. as they say it's better to be late to the party then not at all I guess. For me, aside from the man's talent, it's always been the stories of Elvis humanity That I most appreciated. (stuff that much of the media over the years, including many from the elvis world, have somewhat ignored). I know of documented stories where where people were dealing with prejudice treatment and Elvis came around the corner and called out the bigots. Or women being mistreated / disrespected, and they said Elvis walked by and called out the guys that were disrespecting them. Always struck me as a very peculiar thing that these types of positive stories are often left out of the Elvis legacy. Even after all these's still a lot of great elvis stories that i've learned most people don't know. By the way, Great observation you made that Elvis was much more than just Vegas. Even Elvis himself in the 1970s when he was locked under contract to keep doing appearances there, he was known to tell other artists to - " get the hell out of vegas" - Basically he was just offering helpful advice, Because he didn't want to see other artist get stereotyped and locked into long term performances there, like he himself did. One icon, Little Richard, as well as entertainer Cassandra Peterson, both said Elvis gave them each the same advice, When he crossed pass with each of them as they were getting ready to sign contracts in vegas , . - "Get out of this place. Vegas will only make you a piece of property. It's only about the money, but it will try to take your soul. Get out of here and travel abroad. You'll have more peace of mind and fulfillment outside of vegas then working inside of it" This is why elvis him self enjoyed touring around that time and getting out of vegas as much as he could, For that i'm glad he was able to do that. If he was stuck only in Vegas all of those years he would have likely died a lot sooner. Or vegas would have killed him a lot sooner. He was happier traveling around the country playing for different audiences. This d*** being locked in the desert a few months out of every year. I just wish he would have given himself a little more much deserved time off to rest. But is what it is. I'm just thankful he was able to give us what he did. Great reaction in commentary. Enjoyed your reaction.

You said it was an apology song ..... I've never heard it put that way, thank you

Elvis chose to sing this song because, according to him, he liked the song. It had nothing to do with his personal life - a recording of him admitting this is out there, found it on here recently so it's available for all. Love him always.....he was and is simply the BEST. RIP, EP ❤

اعظم فنان على مر العصور لم ولن يتكرر الملك بدون منازع

you can say i was wrong he will forgive you he's that type of guy ty big man

I love when young people discover Elvis and fall in love with him and his music. This is one of hi songs Priscilla had a hand in putting his music to an orchestra... it worked. Elvis was criticized all his performing life but the fans knew better. Only Elvis forever.

Polk salad annie is a killer Performance by him! And suspicious minds too!

You are going to be one of my TOP 3 Elvis reactors... I can just feel it bro. Keep it up, Keep it on Elvis! SUBSCRIBED.

Elvis cantaba siempre con todo su cuerpo y con toda su alma. Por ello nos conmueve siempre.

I really appreciate your elvis reactions! I love seeing him still impacting people and your right that tv and impersonaters really made a bit of a joke of him which is really a shame since he was so much more than the "fat man in vegas"...

All jokes aside, imagine 50 years after his death there are still thousands of impersonators performing and making a living replicating his look and music. Name one person in the world has this besides Elvis. There isn’t anyone but Elvis. There is something to him and there will never be another to replace him, ever.
