elvis & lisa marie presley’s – in the ghetto



good evening! oh i’ve been waiting for this all week – the elvis & lisa marie presley duet of his classic & amazing tune in the ghetto! the posthumous duet was
thought up by lisa marie to commemorate her father’s death which was exactly 30 years ago today – she told spinner.com i wanted to use this for something good, all fingers pointed towards new orleans (read the full interview) she filmed the video down there and all proceeds from the track will help benefit a new presley place transitional housing campus in new orleans – the semi-decent video is posted below! (the track is much better than the video made for it – just my opinion) i’ve always been a huge fan of ms. presley’s – gosh she totally rocks! (and the resemblance between the two is uncanny) popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!

    Lisa Marie has a great voice, she just needs to loosen up more.

  • Gary Jones

    Very nice update of an Elvis classic. Lisa Marie would have made her Dad proud.

  • shirley mcclamroch

    I grew up in the Elvis days, I absolutely Love this! Lisa Marie you are a genious just like your dad.

    Miss LISA looks so absolutely stupid with rolling over made up druggy eyes.. messy hair, ..and her voice is forced southern toned for competition.., against the KING? Yeah.. I really can’t see her giving a damn about the poor, or any of the children in the ghetto.. if his mother cries.. The gun in the baby hands symbolically a cage of the crib.. oh.. no.. it’s too much stagnant in time drama, oh hahaha give me a break! Black people ought to riot against this piece of crap saying they can not do anything, are not educated enough or treated fairly from birth in the year 2007. Why do you keep blaming and accusing them unless they join Scientology LISA?
    Celine Dion did a duet with the King.. so much better.

    you can say what you want about lisa marie, but ALL the proceeds are going to the charity, not a portion. ALL of it. something to be said for that…..

  • me

    I just want to say that I was a little girl when Elvis died so I wasn’t much of a fan, as the years have gone by I could not help to know about his livestyle…that song touched my soul, from a woman who adores her own father, she’s alot like him even in lifestyle, poor thing, I love her no matter what state of mind she is in.

    the video was great but the writter Clementines ON AUGUST 18, 2007 11:49 AM
    states about lisa ‘s eyes looking like drugs. Well i would bet mr crack head knows all about that look. Sounds like the type of person that when he gets home he kisses his dog and kicks his husband and we can all guess tell what color you are . HOw does any one watch a video and draw so much out of it is WOW must be out of a job to have that much time on ones hand

  • Al Antol

    Lisa should record an album like Natalie Cole did with her dad Nat King Cole. I;m sure it would do well with all of us Elvis fans out here. I enjoyed her singing In the Ghetto with her dad.

  • Chris

    I thought this was brilliant, ELvis would be proud of his daughter

  • t leggoo

    well done lisa great song, well produced. dad would be proud keep on rocking

  • Gayle Flores

    i thought her and her dad’s voices sounded well together…though i didn’t care for the actual video…kept showing babies in their cribs with guns? i think a much better video could have been done to match the song….
    still, elvis had a wonderful voice…overall, lisa’s voice is just okay…

  • Jesse Schuttler

    Lisa was the apple of Elvis’ eye. His everything. He would want nothing more than to have sung with her, I absolutely loved the first duet she made like that with “dont cry daddy” And this one is just as great. I hope she keeps comming out with more duets with her and her beloved father!! And lisa does know LOTS about charities….shes been feeding them for years to come and has been spokesmodels for many. Good for you lisa for doing what you belive in, your dad had critics as well you, but what makes you great is how to stand up to them!! R.I.P E and we all know your proud of your one and only as we all are!!

  • Lori Kruse

    I watched the video several times and i think it is absoulutely right on!!!!Elvis was making a statement when he sang this song and now lisa marie is making an even bigger statement…The poor people are angry so the rich better watch out, lmao….Great video on how the rich love to watch the poor struggle, well that is until the poor get the power to fight back….Loved it!!!!Good job Lisa!!!!

  • Betty Rawson

    I grew up in Memphis – with Elvis in the 50′s – in the days before he became the King. He never changed from day one until the end. A giver with a tremendous heart.
    People need to know what they are talking about before they speak such harsh words – “Clementines” . A man that had the love for his mother the way he did, says a lot for his character.
    May God rest his soul and we’re all proud of you, Lisa not only for the tribute but for the cause. Keep it up.

    It doesnt matter how lisa marie sounds, the video is a tribute to her father.
    Just the thought is amazing

  • Tabetha

    I LOVE this video i think Lisa Marie is just awsome and i think this tribute to her father is the best idea she ever had……. I LOVE IT
    R.I.P. EP

  • Christina

    I LOVED IT!!! LISA AND HER DAD SINGING TOGETHER WAS THE BEST EVER. HE LOVED IS DAUGHTER AND WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF HER.

  • Linda

    AMAZING….losing a father at a young age and having the courage to sing a duet must be a very emotional mix.Lisa your voice is unique on its own so get into the recording studio.The results are awesome and brings the point home on how real life is for many people.ALL the money going for a worthwhile charity cause is a gift in itself.

  • Tammy

    I have been a huge Elvis Fan since i was a very little girl. I am only 37 years old but remember when my mom finally told me that he died. She didnt tell me for a week cause she knew i would be very upset. And this song truly touches me because I have an older brother that died 17 years ago, and this song was always a tribute to him. And the fact that his daughter sang this song with him is totally awesome. I think her dad would be so proud of her, he not only loved her to pieces but they look identifical. People are so criticial to others and make assumptions about what they dont know. I do hope that you can purchase this song in the very near future. This song brings tears to my eyes for many reasons and brings back many memories. I LOVED IT.

  • Brenda

    I loved this also! It brought tears to my eyes. Elvis would have been incredibly proud of his daughter for doing this.
    A great tribute to her father–he loved her so much.
