The World's Greatest Elvis

[canariesfan]

Does anybody know if the final, shown last night ( 29th Sept) on BBC 1, is being repeated and when?

[Whickerman]

Last night was just the semi, wasn't it? the final 2 were chosen

[smiffy65]

omg I dont believe I missed it,who were the two that got through

[canariesfan]

Apparently, Gino & Shawn were the final two, and Shawn won. Can't find any video footage on web, but you can try this link for info..not the same as watching it though....

you mean the final was on later? I'm gutted!

[Whickerman]

Shawn would be my choice btw

[Octavius]

I think the right person won really. I think the Welsh bloke should have been the runner up though. That GI Gino bloke annoyed my senses by adding a �nnngggg� at the beginning of every line � authentic, maybe, but over exaggerated in my opinion.

Nnnnnngit�s now or nnnnngnerver
Nnnnngome hold me tight

Arrrrghh!

It`s not repeated as far as I know. I agree that Lee "Memphis" King should have been in the final. I thought from the first time I heard him, on the programme where Vernon went in search of the contestants, that Shawn would win. He was fantastic.

The whole thing was on between 7.00 and 7.45 on Saturday as far as I can make out....I went out thinking video was o.k & looking forward to watching it when I got home, so I'm gutted too! It isn't even on VOD which I'm surprised at...don't even know how to find out if it will be repeated. If anyone's interested, the winner, Shawn Klush has a website( but not with this final on it)---- lots of info on Yahoo for him but one link is:-

suppose it's better than nothing!!

Octavius, I said exactly the same thing about it. Too much slur on Gino's words. How irritating was that!

try here,sorry couldn't do youtube thingy http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg3oanMp8YE

[canariesfan]

Thank you, thank you ,thank you peanut42. That was exactly what I wanted to see...I always thought that Shawn should win from the first rounds but I just wanted to see how he performed on the night. Fantastic...he even had that same twinkle in his eye and the curl of the mouth that Elvis had...best 'all round' tribute artist I've seen anyway.

I agree Shawn was easily the best but didn't you get the impression that the whole programme (last week and this) was all rushed through.Making two sing at once and the 'judges' deciding in 30 secs flat.
BTW Joe Esposito yes but Craig Revel Wotsit???
