The title on the YOU-TUBE video says:
"David Thibault, a 16 year-old musician, performs a version of Blue Christmas that sounds JUST like Elvis. Listen and be stunned - wow, what talent!"
They are right!!!  If I didn't see his picture and just heard him singing, I would think it WAS ELVIS!!!! But there was only ONE genuine article; one Elvis.  Obviously, this would make me remember the following passage from Second Corinthians...

2 Corinthians, Chapter 11
 1 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.  2 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.  3 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different “good news”, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.  5 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.  6 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.  7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?  8 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.  9 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.  10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.  11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows.  12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.  13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.  14 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.  15 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 

There really was only one Elvis and one Jesus.  Only one original; one genuine article.  Anything else is just that- something else!!!   The Corinthians needed to be reminded of this truth and frankly, so does the world today!!!   There is one truth- look for it in the Bible and you will find Jesus, not an impostor or someone who just sounds pretty good.  Fortunately, the Corinthians did listen to Paul and change their ways.  I wonder, will The United States Of America do likewise before it is too late?  If not; it really will be a "BLUE CHRISTMAS"!!!

ps. I encourage you to watch the video again; he really is VERY, VERY, GOOD!!!!!
