well i love elvis from 68-77 his music is so powerfull and filled with emotion and soul he sang songs from the heart and most of them were about his life and i think to understand elvis is to understand the music i love the man how he was a kind humanitarian and had respect for other people and their opinions he didn't descriminate he wasn't like celebritys today he wasn't involved in rehab or a drunken embarrasment he was and will always be the king
Elvis is turly a remarkable man, who couldn't love elvis, he is so special. I like his songs, life, everything about him makes it him so interesting. There will never be a man again like elvis, he was truly the king and a remarkable lengend.
Without a song,the day would never end.
Without a song,a man ain t got a friend.
Without a song,the road would never bend,
so I keep singing a song. Elvis Presley
I like Elvis because of his music and his voice. He brought songs alive by singing them with his heart and soul. He also was a very special kind of man.

Good question Danielle
Well first of all, the music, i must say.
The first Elvis song I heard was Suspicious Minds and was actually blown away with his AMAZING voice...maaaaaany other songs came after and he keeps amazing me all the time
He looked fantastic,he was so handsome.....
And, he had a wonderful personalty, that's a big plus.
He was so different from the other celebrities, he never forgot who he was before he got famous
I love Elvis-The Man and Elvis-The Rock star, both
I can not explain it. Charisma is the only word that comes close to giving definition to this question -30 years after he has been gone.
His good looks attracted me first - I was about 9, but even at 9 I knew a good looking man when I saw one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYwF8LcupiQ One of the many examples of his magnificent voice. Music is a memory enhancer. Music has a way of taking me to a specific point in my life & Elvis' music (& especially this song) has created a great many of those moments for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CAudY_pAjw His sense of humor is spectacular. He's just so funny. His shows must have been one huge source of entertainment with his humor, singing, performing & story telling. I could go on & on & . . .
I love those videos Lisarose!!! Excellent!!!!
I wouldnt come back out there for love nor money.
I grew up with his music constantly in the house, so It's like going home in a way. As I grew, it was the way he could turn any song around and really feel it and make it his own. Make you feel it too. I've heard some pretty humdrum songs from the originals , and then Elvis does a version and it suddenly has depth.
Got my family, my kids, my books and my music, I'm good, yeah, I'm good.....
I was about 5 years old the first time I heard him sing and I loved him. Didnt know what he looked like for some time. Of course he was beautiful to me. I listen to him any time and he makes me feel so good and makes everything ok no matter whats going on in my life. When I was a child I was so afraid of the dark, not just the dark, but the sounds in the darkness that I heard, if anyone else ever went through that you know what Im talking about, so I had to have a small light on and Elvis played on my little stereo with one speaker, but my whole family had to listen to it cause it was a small house, and if I didnt fall asleep before the album finished we listened to it again. This went on for years.

ELVIS touched my heart when I was just a little girl of nine years old.
They say that your first love is the one you remember ALWAYS...ELVIS was my first love. My tender feelings for ELVIS have always felt most magical....very special, gentle, and loving emotions that will never leave me until I leave this earth.
My heart shattered when he died. I laid in bed and cried for weeks. Tears still stream down my face, now and then, when I think about the loss. Sometimes when I hear him laughing like in the "Are You Lonesome Tonight" laughing rendition....I will smile the biggest smile and laugh with him, too. His laughter was contagious just like love for him was. ELVIS had a way of touching people emotionally...more than anyone else I have ever ever known.
**** I miss him!!! It is hard to explain all the reasons why. How do you explain something so spiritual in nature?
I will never forget you Rosanne.

It can be too simply....but I like him for EVERYTHING!!
His look, voice, personality, charisma, energy and so on
I think he was incredible as an artist and especially as a man....he's the only one who gives me a lot of different emotions and he will always be the best for me!

Ale, couldn't have said it any better
What was there "not to like" about him huh.
He was the most beautiful, gifted and talented man I've ever seen.
I was 10 years when I fell in love with him, first his voice then I saw him on a picture and I was in awe over his beauty
He became one of the most important persons in my life, wanted to know everything about him, became fascinatd with his lifestory and with the lucky one who became his wife.
I started collecting every possible candid picture of him with his family and it was like all his songs together revealed his life and feelings.
The songs I liked the most were changing a bit depending my own age. Became a fan in 1977 , was only ten and it never stopped. I became an adult, I fell in love myself and had two kids but he still was in my hearth forever and will always be.
It is funny when I was a child I mostly liked his 50's songs. When I was a twen and young adult I was very much into his 60's songs. Now I'm 41 and I just love his seventies songs. I sometimes cannot imagine he was not much older then I am now when he died. It is like it was yesterday
Life goes so fast...
when I first became a fan he looked so mature and grown up to me and now I'm nearly as old as when he passed away and he still looks so mature to me and I still am in love with him. I sometimes wonder, when life will progress and I will be an old lady will I still see him trough the same eyes or am I going to stop being in love with him because he is just "a kid"
My favourite pic, hard to post because hundreds of them are my favourite ones. Here the same evolution right now I absolutely adore his beauty of the early seventies, late sixties. When I was younger was not intrested in his seventies looks but in his 50's.
a good way to put it elvis wasnt a run of the mill type he did it his way
also thanks for posting the videos lisarose

LOL.......
I doubt you will ever stop being in love with ELVIS if you have been loyal and loved him this long.

Thank You All Soo Much For Your Answers, I Enjoyed Reading Each And Every One.
Thank you for asking! It is a really nice question!
There are so many reasons
Here are some of them:
1. When I need Him He is always here to support me with His music!
2. His Voice!
3. His eyes!
4. His complicated personality!
5. I always feel that He cares and sings only for me( even thou I surely know that He is not )
I must admit I don't know the only one answer.... and I agree with Paulo Coelho: " If you don't know for what exactly you love the person- it means you really love it"

It is always worth while asking a question, though it is not always worth while answering one

I agree with everyone's answers to this one. Why do I love Elvis? wow, where do I begin. Of course, there's the good looks throughout his life. Adorable child, cute teenager, handsome man. There's a gallery full of that proof right here on this site!
There's that incredible voice. I go to sleep listening to that voice, & my alarm - set to go off to whatever Elvis Cd is inserted, wakes me up to his singing.
He was gracious, gifted, innovative,. . . the list is endless! What a wonderful thread!
must be nice to wake up with your favourite music. I always start my day most of the time wanting to shut off that **************** radio immediately
I sometimes do and then I fall asleep again and am too late at work
