Someone probably will--but not me!

Both of those songs are well within Elliott's vocal range, and will be terrific, I'm sure.

This from a loyal fan of The King.

Elvis did some fun stuff that was up tempo as well as a bunch of crooning corny love songs. People will gripe about stuff being boring but back in his day he was considered a bad influence on younger people for being too racy.

BTW, my wife burned a CD of Elliott's song performances and I can't say that he's had a really bad week. People might not like his style which is very heavily R&B influenced but he's done up tempo, showbiz, slow love songs, rock, jazz and he even did okay with Garth Brooks (who I personally cannot stand as a singer). Give him some good song writers, the right promotion and some good direction and he will do very well.

He's not a top 40 person but then again, for those of us over 30 in maturity and mentality don't listen to that anyway.
