I have a hard time mustering any excitement for an Elvis tribute. I was barely alive when he died and never got the appeal and not a fan of the music. Watched about half a video of QAL HH in Vegas. But I’m happy he was invited to participate with a great group of peers. So whenever it airs I’ll check it out and I’m sure he will do a great job. I assume HH in Vegas was for practice. Some of us old gals think Elvis was hot stuff back in the day. But I understand the younger folks not being into him...he was before their time. Adam is an old soul and embraces music and influencers from long ago. Yep. Very hot stuff! John Lennon's famous quote of "before Elvis there was nothing" is about right.

As much as I want want want new music by Adam, if we’re going to talk about covers... this one is it youtu.be/1ljb_JsvUEcOH YESSSSS! NOTHING can top this for me...9 years and counting ![](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/wub.gif) This show at Fantasy Springs was one of our first glimpses at what the post-Idol Adam Lambert would be like. And I loved every second. I couldn't attend, but I know a few people who did go. It blew our socks off, didn't it?

And wonder which night Adam will be on? He certainly is in good company! adamtopia.com/post/884454Skaschep posted the article (link above) saying it’s a 2 hour NBC special to be aired sometime in 2019...if their info is correct. in any case the guide has nothing of the sort on NBC for October 10 or 11... We have to wait quite a while! Oops! Sorry. You are right, of course. I just somehow missed that link about the actual showing next year. It definitely will be something to look forward to. Whatever he does in this, he will be great. I love the pix of Adam and Elvis side by side, showing their similarities in their looks. Depending on the hairstyle and the pose, they have a strong resemblance. With Adam's new music coming out next year, I hope his profile is pretty high. The Elvis tribute is all to the good, too. We never see enough of Adam on TV. Love the videos of those other covers and tributes posted here. Thanks! (Fantasy Springs. Yum!)

I know some of us were around in the Elvis era and some of us were not. But either way, Elvis changed the shape of rock music, and music in general, forever. His influence is undeniable. He melded black blues and rockabilly and turned it into a raw, risky sound that the world was really ready for.
