Answer 1

i thought it was incredible..although, i thought the hands, and some of the arm movements did not look like him at all, not smooth enough, but sure as he-- was his face, his voice, had to be digitally superimposed with prior footage,thank over an impersonator, Ryan did thank Graceland..i thank them too.......i loved it....

i would love to see this years top 6 do some Elvis songs...

Answer 2

At first I thought it was an impersonator, but when Ryan was in the audience, there was a young girl there who had mentioned she was "confused" and he told her he'd explain everything to her. I say, those awesome video effects as not even an impersonator looks like Elvis! And did you hear Ryan thank the Elvis Estate? So, not an impersonator. Video effects. Technology is so good these days.

Answer 3

Yes I did Celine singing with Elvis last night on American Idol. I have to agree with it did look so real. It's amazing what they can do with technology these days. I really enjoyed watching it.

Answer 4

Fans can thank technology. Last week, Dion spent hours on the stage singing her part of the song several times without an audience or anyone next to her, looking to her side on cue.

Then she did the routine again with a Presley body double who lip-synced Presley's song and matched his moves from his 1968 performance.

Finally, all three elements -- Dion by herself, Dion with the body double and the original Presley performance -- were combined through editing and a technique called rotoscoping, which traced Presley from the original footage by cutting him out.

"Rotoscoping allows you to take one image from a pre-existing piece of video and puts him a whole new environment -- completely new use of that same piece of video," Disney digital media designer Joe Husung said.

Similar technology has been used before. It brought Natalie Cole and her late father, Nat King Cole, together to perform "Unforgettable," and allowed Forrest Gump to talk to former President Nixon.

A new British show puts the technology to use every day in "Duet Impossible," in which stars perform with their late idols. If the concept crosses the pond, American audiences may soon see late legends like James Brown and Sinatra rocking the stage again.
