Thank you!

Thanks for posting franny

I think this is a bad idea the Beatles already had a show like this and now it seems Elvis will be just doing what they have already done.

I want Elvis to be more original.

Elvis has little to say about it he is not doing anything.
IMO there is nothing wrong with using an idea that has already been tried-as long as it has a variation to it-in this case the music and the tone will be ELVIS not the Beatles so it has to be different in many ways.
The problem is that there are only so many options that are available to be used with a dead artist.
You can not be really have originality-if the "original" is dead.
If we all just tried to do original things "without tweaking them"
we would not have differing flavors of ice cream, chocolate bars, soda, potato chips etc......
All clothes would be the same because no one wanted to vary color, style, material, etc.....
All cars would still be Model Ts with jet black finish......
The concerts which travel the world featuring Elvis filmed performances and many of his original group are a success-yet Frank Sinatras family have also followed the lead of the Elvis shows and they have done the same with Frank and his filmed work-but.....the shows are totally different as were Elvis and Frank......so its the same concept with a differing outcome and tone.

I mean Sillerman is in charge now and his idea's so far have not been.

Like impersonator contests and now this.

He could probably come out with something different if he thought real hard but no

Love is a great show and im sure this one will be just as good.

I don't think you have seen Love from your post as it is still running - don't forget the #1 Hits Album followed the Beatles 1 and both were a huge success.

I have seen the show.

Ken is right about this IMO. The man's been dead for 32 years and there isn't any room left for an "original" concept. I don't think this show will have any connection to Elvis impersonator contests, I think it will be a little more high-brow than that. You seem to imply that Sillerman isn't putting much thought or effort into this venture.
