Austin Butler does Elvis proud in this film and his moves are great. Having said that there is only one Elvis and he was truly 'sui generis'. His talent and legacy will live on forever.
Austin you are so nice and humble great to see in Hollywood
Austin Butler is STELLAR in this movie. I'm going back to see it again. There is so much and it's ALL GOOD!
Austin gave such a magnificent delivery, he is massively talented, absolutely brilliant.
This is the BEST movie about Elvis I ever saw! TCB ⚡️⚡️💜💜💜
Agree 100%
TCB Take Care Y'all God Bless I really can't wait to see the film I'm looking at every interview now and everything on Elvis
I think I'm going insane , i have seen it four times.
He’s stuttering over some words, it’s so cute that he’s nervous 🙈🥰
STORY OF A MUCH LOVED AMERICAN SINGER! YOU DID ELVIS PROUD AUSTIN BUTLER! 🙏🙏💙💙
FINALLY! Someone asked about how the physicality of the role affected his body. I wondered if they kept a chiropractor or PT person on set for him.
I think by law they have to keep a medical doctor on set close by! ?
There was a medical team at all times.
He is so upbeat here answering these questions. Fast forward to now during award season, he is so much more somber at times and more reserved answering these questions for the millionth time. Interesting to revisit this early press versus the press here less than 30 days from the Oscar’s!
he must be feeling so nervous just sitting in the middle ik I would be panicking inside 😭
This is a great panel! So enthusiastic but also asking real questions to create a real conversation. What an extraordinary performance. I expect him to win the Oscar for it.
He certainly should
Great interview, Elvis would be proud.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great questions! Austin is relaxed! Austin you did ELVIS PROUD! 🙏💙
STORY OF A MUCH LOVED AMERICAN LEGEND! LOOKS AND SOUNDS AMERICAN!
FILMED ENTIRELY IN AUSTRALIA!
BRILLIANT AWESOME MOVIE ARTISTIC
OSCORS GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL!
So the silver-haired woman starts off saying she didn't know that much about Elvis, had to research him, then ends by claiming "Well some of us knew." Like how does that work?
I believe she was saying she didn't grow up on him but in her Adult years or over the course of time she became a fan I was thinking the same thing Take Care God Bless
Probably because she researched that bit. But totally out of touch comment by her. Made no sense really
Great panel but that "some of us knew" comment was a bit out of pocket and clearly showed her bias in asking the question which I don't find professional at all in an interview setting. He handled it well though.
@@46st She is not a fan. Made that clear. Seemed important to her. The only unsettling one in the group. Austin, as usual, handled everything very sweetly.
Yes, I did not care for the “silver-haired” woman. Also, I think she tried to monopolize the interview. Always one in the group that’s so irritating!
I am from Houston, Texas and I do remember when he started because I am 76. I was not a huge fan, but since the movie I have done some strange research. I do genealogy and there is a historic newspaper site called Portal to Texas History. I put his whole name in with quotation marks and asked for the 1950s. There are over 2000 articles, but many are just where some girl in a small town was running for homecoming queen, and she likes Elvis or someone is going to do Elvis at a talent show. I am now in Dec, 1956 and a lot of them are Love Me Tender ads.
But some articles are really good. He was appearing in Texas before he met Parker. I think the largest audience for Elvis is still the 26,000 at the Cotton Bowl in Oct, 1956, but the funny part is they were using this little ad with a picture and a couple of sentences all over Texas and they called him "The Gymnastic Vocalist". I would love to know if Austin Butler had heard that.
There is one about a 17-year-old girl who was hired to answer his fan mail and lasted just a week because there was so much. She didn't get to meet him, but she did meet his parents and she said they didn't get very upset about fans outside the gates. She said one girl got in and kissed one of his Cadillacs and it was summer, and it burned her lips, and she asked Gladys for medication.
It is obvious when the Milton Berle show happened because before that Elvis was described as different, wiggly, strange and things like that. Thankfully, so far, I have not seen a lot of articles about race, but in April 1956 he becomes evil, immoral and even described as Satanic. On the 19th he and Rock and Roll were banned from the coliseum in that same week he was banned from radio in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The DJ said that because of the language in the complaints about his banning Elvis, he knew he was correct.
Looks American sounds American all American story! All filmed in Australia! Amazing!
yep by an Australian director. God knows what American directors are doing
Amazing

That was an excellent Roundtable and all the Questions and interaction was very impressive. ..as far as the Elvis movie 🍿 goes I thought it was truly Amazing in every way ❤️👏🎤
THE most important movie to date in our society and to see AUSTIN'S out of the world performance I was astounded. I certainly felt like I was watching an ELVIS performance rather than an Austin performance per se. ELVIS is the MOST iconic person ever produced in America at a time that was also so difficult for our culture.
Great Big Shout to my Girl My Baby for Saying anything about The Philadelphia Eagles we in Philadelphia appreciate it Thanks Mr Butler for Acknowledging us Fly Eagles Fly Brother Go win that Oscar Thanks again to the young lady it made a huge difference God Bless many Blessings and see you soon at Next Eagles Parade as always everyone I mean everyone is invited Fly Eagles Fly Everywhere
I looked up the 1940 and the 1950 Census for the Presleys. According to the 1940 Census they were living in a predominately Black area, but they were not at Shake Rag. Vernon and Gladys only went to the 5th grade and having a business manager of Elvis Presley Enterprise would have made Vernon a perfect target for Parker. In 1950 they are in Lauderdale Courts in Memphis. I also really like the interview with Sam Bell, probably in the 1990s. He says at the end that they were worried that the people in Memphis wouldn't understand Elvis. He also says he was not there for the return performance at Tupelo, but he did try to see Elvis in LA and was not allowed. I read Sammy Davis, Jr's autobiography a long time ago, but was reminded that he and Elvis were up for "The Defiant Ones", 1958, and Elvis was really disappointed because Col. Parker wouldn't even consider it because he thought having Elvis handcuffed to a Black man would be bad for record sales. I have seen very few stars in concert, but I did see Elvis at the Astrodome in 1970 or 71. The song I remember most was, "Proud Mary". I saw Sammy Davis, Jr in a very small theater in the round in Houston in the early 70s and he walked down to the stage on an aisle 2 seats from me. He was so small, I can't imagine he and Elvis being handcuffed because Elvis was 6' and Sammy was about 5'3". Sammy was fabulous.
I was watching this snippet of Heath ledger talking about playing the joker and how much the whole process excited him and how it was the best years of his life. And even though there's alot of negativity attached his method acting I'm pretty sure his soul doesn't regret playing the role.
It's similar to Austin. Though it's not as intense as playing the joker,I love watching him taking about the movie.
The way his voice is just so joyful and his eyes bright up every time he is interviewing and the way he talks about Elvis, the role, the movie in every one of those interviews it's like he's talking about it the very first time because he always so excited to just talk about it.
Seeing someone so passionate about their work is really something. And I truly believe Elvis was with him in this journey.
I’m watching this later
Austin is Beyond phenomenal.
Good interview until 5:45
Yeah I'm not even white but jesus christ these 'minorities' just love being a victim
Could I ask why ?
I wonder which part of West Texas? I live in South Texas and know of Elvis...not part of everyday life but for sure still knew his music.
Vanessa Perez...I live in Texas. Elvis traveled so extensively in this state that there have been two books written about it. His beginning of touring again started in the Astrodome in Houston, the only covered dome in the world then. He was quite nervous. Over several days, 200,000 people saw him. 1970.
Elvis was influenced by everyone from Mario Lanza to Dean Martin, and about 1000 other artists. Great that they emphazise the impact black music and black culture had on him, but Elvis had so many layers. Guess it is a sign of the times. Go see the movie, recommend it highly.
Machomannorway....THANK YOU for telling it like it was with Elvis. When he walked into Sun, the secretary said, who do you sound like? He said, I don't sound like nobody, and he did not. Elvis had a soul of his own. You can't buy that. You have charisma and soul, or you don't. He was influenced by country, jazz, blues, the white gospel quartets like JD Sumner and the Stamps and others. He loved all gospel. By his mother's Pentecostal church. He sneaked in as a kid to see JD. Then, JD ended up working for him starting in '70 until the end. There is no other singer in history who had so many different kinds of music wrapped up inside of him, making him unlike anyone, than Elvis. He was one of a kind in music. Voice coaches, colleges and universities have studied his voice for it's uniqueness. I could name 50 singers who were influenced by him and there would still be more. So telling the whole story IS important. The movie was amazing. I am in love with Austin, as is the rest of the world. But to a researcher of Elvis for years, and having seen him starting in '69 Vegas and on, I know, as do many others, a lot.
@@keetonplace So true…. “appropriation” is a word that has become popular of recent…the music is Elvis’s own creation, but it “Incorporates” many styles into it. It is a tribute to many cultures!
I want to know why they had Austin actually sing instead of lip singing in the movie. Why hasn’t anyone in these interviews ask that.
The earlier recordings of Elvis, being on acetate, would not transfer over to the movie because of tech I really don’t understand and can’t explain as they did; the later recording Austin sang with Elvis’ voice blending at certain points. Priscilla said she literally could not tell which voice she was hearing. It sounds like you did not like Austin’s voice, but he said he has never sang to anyone other than a girlfriend and “was thrown in the deep end” from the get go. He had to learn and be able to sing each song as closely to Elvis as possible. I think he did great on all of these songs; Suspicious Minds, If I Can Dream, and the first part of Unchained Melody I would think would be really hard to duplicate, but he did. In fact him singing Unchained Melody while playing piano and crying(singing to his deceased mom) is what caused the director to say he needed to meet with this guy. I have never heard a voice get any closer to Elvis’ outside of Austin Butler.
Austin sounded great. I liked his voice. But bc elvis has such a unique sound. Im curious why he didn’t lip sing. I haven’t seen any interviews discussing this.
@@user-vc9or5uc4x they didn't have a lot of usable recordings from back in the day
Austin sang all the 50's, and afterwards it's Austin's and Elvis's voice blended.
I listened to Elvis since 1956 n became friends with Charlie Hodge for years after Elvis died. Justin did a good job Blondy on the end of row PULL YOUR DRESS DOWN. We didn't need that much lady.
We don't have Elvis without white music or white culture either. He mixed pop, country, gospel & R&B and made his own sound.
sir, most music came from the black people, the country the gospel and the R&B, jazz, since 1700 even before that they saw black dance around a Fire doing rituels in the Village and called the devil music, bc it had a sound that make the people move wildly, and country was born when slave work the fields and sang, so many movies about this topic, this should already Be on the radar , pop was dominated by White and symphony like beethoven i will give u that
@@poisonivymathers What are you smoking? Country and white gospel came from Ireland and England Folk music and pop standards mostly came from the jewish tradition of music. In addition most musical instruments (piano, brass, strings) along with harmony etc comes from western musical tradition. Many rhythm, gospel and drums etc come from the black music tradition. Black and white culture contributed to the music we here today.
@@richardyett3985 i meant the singing gospel, not the speak poet gospel but elvis has said in many encounter Who the king legend was, go see the movie , very good history lesson!
@@poisonivymathers I'm seeing it tomorrow. I already know that Elvis would give credit to many artists like Fats Domino, Jackie Wilson and he loved Roy Hamilton's voice. He also has said that the true king was God when people referred to him as the King. Elvis was humble boy and felt there was room for all artists and never criticized other artists publicly. A Class Act. Look up James Brown, Ali and others that respected Elvis and he respected them. Country music came from Folk tradition in Ireland and when it was brought here the poor white people would expand it with working in the fields and being in contact with the black culture the two groups fed off each other and made modern American music. That's why country, blues, jazz, folk all came from the south where white and black mixed.
I was watching a video the other day and some race baiting interviewer asked a black singer many years ago (the name escapes) about Elvis and black music and he said that there is no black music or white music. Music doesn't have a race and is for everyone. Perfect answer and perfect way to shut these hacks up
~~~ My only 2 issues with this movie are:
Austin singing elvis early songs instead of Elvis. BTW, I don't buy their reason for doing this (music was allegedly digitally impure; and
Leaving out ALL of Elvis' other influences which helped form Popular Music and Elvis' unique version of Rock & Roll (rockabilly).
So far, interviews, songs, & movie trailers all paint him exclusively as a product of the blues, BUT older fans and followers of music know what is being left out. There's more to Elvis, and more to popular music than just blues. Granted, it was the blues that caused controversy and that's what sells, however Elvis Presley CANNOT be contained in just one genre.....
Elvis' other BIG influences, Country & Bluegrass Music had a major effect on him, as did Pop Ballad singers like Dean Martin & Bing Crosby. The formation of Pop music and Rock & Roll both derive plenty of country influences (even Chuck Berry had country influences). Popular music draws from Country, Bluegrass/Appalachian, and even from Classical music.
Hope you Enjoy these samples below...

You said it! So many genres of music encapsulated into that one man.
Austin deserves Oskar
