Last night I covered an Elvis Presley Look-a-like contest at a local casino. Now I am not really the biggest Elvis fan, and I also don't really like the idea of dressing up like a dead celebrity to "honor" them. I think impersonation is not really the biggest form of flattery its more the biggest sign of not having a hobby. But after watching these guys perform I have to say I am a changed man. There were five contestants all vying for a spot to go to the annual tribute contest which will be held in Memphis in August. The winner also got a $2000 check for winning. Not being a big Elvis fan I didn't really know that many of the songs, other then the big hits, but I was blown away by the costumes, actions, and more importantly the voices of these guys. Heres one of my favorite shots and you can go here to view a couple more http://bit.ly/czLcxs
