Shawn Klush
Biography
My Opinion
In my opinion Shawn Klush is the best ETA I've ever seen.
VOICE
His voice is incredibly similar. A lot of other ETA's can be near to the pitch of Elvis' voice but Mr. Klush has definitely the closest voice to Elvis. The pitch its perfect. He does the same voice gestures as Elvis in the right parts of the song. He goes as low as Elvis used to with what seems no problem. He also goes as high with what also seem no problem. Vocally wise, Mr. Klush is just perfect.
PHYSICAL
His physical appearance is unbelievably as close as it gets. I personally like to watch him on the videos and life because he looks like Elvis. He moves like Elvis, dresses like Elvis, and definitely looks like "The King Of Rock n' Roll"
Thank you Shawn Klush for keeping Elvis' memory alive everywhere you go!!
