The Elvis & Celine Dion duet. That was really him was't it. I know if was physically him because he died but was that him digitally?? Because they said they would tell you on the show but they didn't or I missed him. Hubby and I have been arguing whether it was a digital Elvis or an impersonator. Does anyone know?? or What is you take on it??

My hubby and I argued over that very question! He asked me to stay up to see AI's answer to how it was done but I never heard an explaination! Personally, I think it was an impersonator. I'm not sure how else they got it on the stage otherwise. And his voice didn't seem up to par. They seemed to "personalize" the arrangement and I'm not sure how they could have done that with an old recording of an Elvis performance, unless it was originally done as a duet.

Hubby thinks it was impersonator I think it was the real deal or Elvis's twin LOL. Either way they did a pretty darn good job doing it. Even though it was a lil freaky. I'm sure they had to get his family's approval to do that.

I didn't hear an answer but I did hear the Elvis foundation sponsored the appearance and donated.

I think they had an actual impersonator on stage in place and the viewers actually saw digital Elvis.
