David Thibault, Quebec teen Elvis, nails Blue Christmas

"SNIP...................................


16-year-old Quebecer known as the Voice of Elvis has quickly gained international notoriety after his bang-on performance of the King's Blue Christmas on a Quebec radio flooded social media.
■Mobile users: see the video of Thibault here

David Thibault, who won the People's Choice Award at the 2013 "In the Shoes of Elvis" competition in Montreal, stunned the hosts of CKOI in Quebec as he strummed a guitar and crooned a rendition of the classic song.

"It makes no sense!" one of the DJs is heard saying as the deep and instantly recognizable voice of Elvis emanates​ from the lanky teen with slicked-back hair.

The video, uploaded to YouTube earlier this week, has already garnered more than two million hits.

the Ronettes have a weird nostalgic appeal to me. Kind of a strange mix of consumerism, the wall of sound, and good-fellas.

Here's my favorite off it. Frozen Smiles. Just like Christmas with my family.

But the whole thing is hilarious, including Go Tell It, which is about a bunch of OTHER people born on December 25.

Yeah, I pretty much hate Christmas and Christmas music.
