Elvis Sightings at the Isle of Capri

It all began a few months ago when a group of people at the Isle of Capri Casino looked through numerous videos of Tribute Artists. They were looking for a select few to compete in Kansas City, Missouri for their very first impersonator contest.

The four competitors were carefully chosen from their performances on the tapes. The groups four choices were Keith Boswell, Keith Henderson, Garyelvis Britt and George Carden.

Each of the four were notified to appear in Kansas City on October 17 for the contest.

The contest would consist of each Tribute Artist putting on a 15 minute show in front of an audience, as well as a table full of judges. Each performer would be judged on six different things: professionalism, appearance, sound, movement, and overall replication of the King, as well as overall acceptance from the audience.

The winner in Kansas City would then go on to the finals contest to be held at the Isle of Capri in Biloxi, Mississippi on January 11-13, 2002.

The audience and judges sat with anticipation as the four started their performances.

KEITH BOSWELL

Keith Boswell was the first one to perform. He made his entrance in a white beaded jumpsuit. Keith makes his home in Kansas City, Missouri, but travels throughout the U.S. for shows and competitions. Keith has won many previous awards, and got the audience in the rockin mood by beginning with a rousing rendition of "Suspicious Minds" followed by "I got a Woman." Keith ended his set with "Can't Help Falling in Love."

KEITH HENDERSON

Keith Henderson came out in a replica of Elvis' red jumpsuit singing "The Wonder of You." Keith has won numerous titles both Nationally as well as Internationally. He's also been on such shows as "Good Morning America" and performed at the 1999 Special Olympics. Keith has also played the part of Pharoah in the North Carolina Broadway production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."

Keith has two CDs available. You can order them on his Web pages at Keith Henderson.
I own both tapes and highly recommend them both.

Keith's second song was "Johnny B. Good." He continued with "Hurt," "Can't Stop Loving You," and ended with "The Impossible Dream." Keith has an incredible and powerful voice that sounds amazingly like Elvis'.

GEORGE CARDEN

George drove all the way from Alabama to Kansas City. He made his appearance in a white jumpsuit. George sang
