Johnny did an awesome job. He actually made the Party! Highly recommend Him. He added so much fun to the party, plus just a super super talented singer not to mention an extremely personable person. Well worth the money, we could have listened to him sing all night. Sounded Exactly like Elvis!
Everyone at the party thought Johnny was the best impersonator ever.

Johnny performed at my step dad’s 60th birthday party and was such a hit! We surprised the birthday boy with him and he was so over the moon. There were about 140 people at the party and everyone loved Johnny so much. His performance was absolutely incredible and he sang live! He was the best Elvis we could’ve asked for. He was so fun and nice but also very professional. I highly recommend him if you need an Elvis!

Response from Elvis Tribute : Johnny Thompson:
Thank you Melissa,
I had a wonderful time performing for you and your family at your sisters birthday! I appreciate your kind words and your hospitality. - Johnny
I recently had the pleasure of hosting a performance by the outstanding Jonny Thompson Elvis impersonator, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment he stepped on stage, I was transported back in time to the era of the King of Rock 'n' Roll .His vocal powers are truly remarkable, capturing the essence of Elvis Presley's iconic voice with stunning accuracy. But it wasn't just his singing that impressed me; it was his entire stage presence. He exuded the charisma and charm that made Elvis a global sensation. The impersonator's attention to detail was also commendable. From his authentic Elvis-style attire to his signature dance moves, every aspect of his performance was spot-on. It was clear that he had studied Elvis meticulously and was dedicated to honoring his legacy. But what truly set this impersonator apart was the way he engaged with the audience. He interacted with us, making us feel like we were part of the show. Whether he was singing a heartfelt ballad or rocking out to an upbeat tune, he had the crowd on their feet, singing along and cheering for more. Overall, I would highly recommend this Elvis impersonator to anyone looking for a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of rock 'n' roll. His talent, passion, and charisma make him a truly exceptional tribute artist who honors the legacy of Elvis Presley in the most captivating way.
Johnny made my mom’s 80th birthday memorable and fun. He communicated well during the planning process and put on a great show for all of our friends and family. He is a great Elvis impersonator, and everyone really enjoyed the show. I highly recommend Johnny if you want the King of Rock and Roll at your next party.
Johnny is something special... I was at my mother-in-law's birthday bash with Michele (See her review). Johnny WAS Elvis... the looks, the moves... the VOICE! And such a nice guy. Every Elvis show I will ever see now I will remember his performance... and they probably won't measure up. The best EVER!!
No negatives at all. 10/10.

I hired Johnny Thompson to be an Elvis impersonator at my moms big 90th birthday bash at The Summit in Grand Prairie Texas. It was all a surprise for my mother and she had the best time of her life (her words). Johnny's voice is amazing and sounds just like Elvis. He dressed in costume and was so personable. He sang our fav Elvis songs and even sung Happy Birthday. He let my 3 year old say "Happy Birthday Grandma" in the mic. I can't say enough what a wonderful fun time we had. The guests got up to dance to many of the songs. Johnny made the night outstanding. I highly recommend this Elvis impersonator. Also, He went out of his way to purchase a new sound system for the room and was early to do sound checks etc. My mother is still talking about the event and about Elvis! Thank you very much Johnny. We love you!

Johnny will be dressed in full professional Elvis Costumes, and he sings with his own natural voice. Johnny is an expert at improvisation and is quite funny and playful. He commands mastery of the stage and yet is very humble as he performs his tribute to Elvis!
