“He is going to be a great actor, and he’s already an iconic musician.

He is next level musically, and in terms of fashion, he’s almost like Elvis himself.

He’s a kind of modern Elvis.

He’s got the fluidity, visual thing.

His music is always a surprise.

He can be deep and meaningful.

He can be light and poppy.

He’s just got it all.

And he moves on stage.

He’s in the tradition of Elvis.”

“Because he’s that good.”
