| - I see some folks call this guy untalented, a hack, etc. That's ridiculous...he is a VERY talented performer. His vocal range is amazing and he aptly impersonates a range of folks including Sammy Davis Jr, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow, Axl Rose, Eminem, etc. So I was entertained just because he sang well.
The problem was the humor (or lack thereof) and the corny lyrics he makes up for the aforementioned performer's songs. I saw most of the jokes coming a mile away and they fit with the stereotypical LV lounge performer (see old SNL reruns). Honestly I chuckled a couple of times but did not have a genuine laugh all night.
For reference, I'm 51 so I knew all of the referenced artists. My friends were all in their 40's - one of them thought it was the funniest show he's ever seen. The rest of us thought we could have spent our money and time better elsewhere. Also, to be fair, much of the rest of the crowd enjoyed the show.
