This morning, I watched the fantastic video of Elvis singing If I Can Dream with Celine Dion, from the American Idol show. What can I say, but oh…my…God. It was the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. There were tears! (I just couldn’t help it—I’m a huge Elvis fan!)
I even forgive that Celine changed the melody a few times, and also that it was indeed Celine Dion (instead of someone else — I’m not a fan of Celine, sorry) because the whole set-up, and the Presley energy, was just unbelievable. I am so glad that the producers of the show bothered to arrange this. I think it was an excellent and awesome way to boost ratings.
I drink to technology this morning! (With my coffee, that is.)

For those that may not know, the projected footage was from the 1968 comeback special, and I recommend that you give it a whirl if you appreciate his music.
