I’ve heard some pretty good Elvis covers in my time…and a whole lot of bad Elvis covers, my misguided Karaoke efforts included. But [this](http://youtu.be/2VwWRpIinxs) 16 year old kid - Holy. Crap. He just put every Elvis impersonator out of business.

(Anyone speak French that can translate what everyone is saying for me?)
