He looks nothing like Elvis in this, didn't have his mannerisms, nothing. It's a disgrace he was nominated for anything. He doesn't even bother with singing out the side of his mouth like Elvis did. He looks like Wayne Newton during his embalmed stage, not Elvis Presley. There has never been a performance this lazy, this inauthentic, that got attention for anything. But Elvis is Elvis. So that'll get you a lot of attention but seriously, this was an embarrassing performance.

We need this song to be played now with all that's going on because we're forgetting what so many people have done how much sacrifice they made to ensure that we live

In real life, this performance was even more powerful than we all know: that's the great Wrecking Crew backing up Elvis on the rhythm track with Hal Blaine on drums. They had to cut and replay the take a couple of times because Elvis was delivering such a powerful performance some of the musicians were breaking down crying as he was singing. These were some of the world's best professional, highly skilled, highly trained musicians so deeply moved by him that they had to restart a few times!

From Austin to Elvis to Oscar.

It speaks volumes that Elvis never performed this song again. He memorized all of MLK Jnr's "I Have A Dream" speech, and could recite it from heart. Austin was utterly majestic in this clip. What a glorious tribute to a fabulous talent.

After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t! My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”

Austin brought back Elvis’s spirit to the point that this generation is bringing back his music, listening to it

Austin Butler was absolutely born to play Elvis. This performance brought me to tears and I'm very much not an Elvis fan. Phenomenal.

THat was Austin singing at the beginning while lying on the floor. Incredible he sounded exactly like Elvis' singing.

Tom Hanks said it right " You can't take your eyes off Austin", beautiful song,✨

Austin Butler was incredible and unbelievable in this movie.

Detail in the movie was ridiculously on point…even to Col referring to Binder as Bindle!!

Austin and Tom should be Oscar nominated for this film.

Austin Butler was Beyond phenomenal.

..Elvis was asked many times by the press and others how he felt about the division that was happening to our country in the late 60s, the civil unrest, the protests against the Vietnam war, then Dr King was assassinated just a few miles from Graceland, Elvis' home in Memphis, the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, but he didn't want to make a political statement or express his personal views yet his heart was aching and he wanted to say something and how else would he do it but as he always did, through his music. This is the scene in the movie that made me sit on the edge of my seat, a tear came to my eyes. It is mine and many fans all time favorite performance and song of his!

Seriously??? How can this guy NOT win the Oscar. He's done the best, and done the most.

The single best vocal performance Elvis ever had

That transition at 3:03 from the paper to practicing the song is smooth and flawless. Movie is full of impeccable transitions and attention to detail. 10/10

Baz Luhrmann's movies are always a visual feast. I feel like there aren't enough directors like him working in Hollywood these days, those with a kind of singular vision and distinctive style. Obviously there are some like Denis Villeneuve and Paul Thomas Anderson, but most such directors are those remaining from Hollywood's artistic peak in the 70s, like Scorsese. (Obviously outside of Hollywood it's a different story, and Hollywood certainly ain't the be-all and end-all of cinema)

Except for the fact that they overdid this kid's makeup so much he looks like Orange Wayne Newton and not Elvis Presley. And they didn't have him sing out the side of his mouth the way Elvis did. And they didn't have him do any of Elvis's real fascial expressions during this performance, probably because he wasn't capable of doing it. Just a lot of things, but mostly the fact that they made him up to look like Wayne Newton. And Elvis did not look like Wayne Newton.

Wow he sounds just like him..

You cut out the best part when Col. Parker comes in all proud boasting about the Christmas set, and then they cut to the second stage where Elvis actually is! That reveal makes the scene so triumphant and powerful, Elvis finally getting the upper hand in his continual war with Parker, and delivering not only one of his best performances in his entire career, but an extremely resonant message to a nation “troubled with pain.” No matter… Still a great clip, thank you for sharing it.
