Elvis Presley Biography fan`s survey results:

Eliane Mendes de Lima
From: Brazil

1. How and when did you first hear about Elvis Presley?
: At home, when I was 5 (1972). My parents liked his movies, and I remember watching "Blue Hawaii" at that time. "No More" was the first song that I remember to hear.

2. What was it that got you hooked on Elvis?
: His voice,and the way that he sings... at that time I have barely spoken my first words in English, but it seems to me I could understand him. My heart understood every words, and I knew it would be forever.

3. If Elvis were alive, what would you like to say to him or ask him?
"My Message to Elvis": You have been by my side in good and bad moments, always with a song tomake me feel better... to know you is to love you, and no matter how long I shall live, I will always have your image and your gentle voice in my soul. I thank God for giving me such a gift, I thank God for you, my friend! I love you, and I always will!

4. WHICH is your favourite Elvis Presley song or movie? And why is it your favourite?
: Song: Pledging My Love. Because it seems to translate all I've always wanted to say to him.

Movie: Change of Habit — I love the story, his role and, mainly, because it is not a comedy, it shows a grownup Elvis, in all his talent.

5. Which is your favourite SUIT that Elvis wore on stage?
: The Gipsy overall he used in 76. All of them are beautiful, but this one is special, and Elvis look heavenly wearing it.

6. Who do you think Elvis loved most in his life, his greatest love?
: Well, I have no doubt it was Priscilla. But I think he made the most adorable couple I've ever seen with Ann-margret.

7. Where were you and what were you doing when you heard that Elvis had died?
: I was at home, with my older brothers. I remember to be watching TV, and I remember the images that were flashing. I was only 9 years old, but I will always remeber that day.

8. Why do you think Elvis still attracts new fans every year, even long after his death?
: Elvis always had such charisma... I always played his songs and movies to my little nices and they love him. I think he has a unique way to go straight to people's heart!

Do you have a personal Letter to Elvis or Poem about or for Elvis that you would like to share on this site? This may be included in our next book "Messages to Elvis". Add it here
:: Everytime I'm sad He has the right words to cheer me up through his songs If I'm happy, he can give me even more happiness, by simply listen to his voice
He can read my mind and my heart,and put it into a song as if he knows every singe feeling that hides inside me The more I think, the less I understand why he's gone, but I guess we cannot fight against God's will
As Elvis himself used to say "We'll meet again!"... can't wait for that! till then, "I'll keep your picture by my pillow, and pretend I'm not alone, make believe that you are with me... everywhere...!

(This poem was published at the Elvis Express Fan Club web site, in March 2001)

Would you like to tell us a little bit more about yourself to share on your own Elvis Presley Fan page?
: I am 39 years old, a passionate Elvis Fan since I was a kid. What I like most is to hear him singing, and sometimes I write those crazy histories where he is always the main character. Maybe someday I have courage enough to share one of them in this site. I love to whatch "3000 Miles to Graceland", because I think that is the kind of movie Elvis would love to do. Well, I guess this is it. I like so much more to talk about him then about me, of course!

Do you collect Elvis music or memorabilia?
: Music, Movies, Posters, Books, other

How would you rate our Elvis Presley Biography site?
: Very Good

Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve this site for Elvis's fans?
