ED SULLIVAN THEATRE. Elvis Tribute Artist week on the Late Show with David Letterman featured 2012 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest winner, Ben Portsmouth, for the grand finale. Wow!
Portsmouth is the entire package in an ETA and more. He sang American Trilogy and if you close your eyes you will hear Elvis. It was the most stupendous, astounding, breathtaking, [insert-your-own-spetacular-adjective-here] rendition of the song I’ve ever heard from an ETA. I’m pretty sure Portsmouth was Letterman’s favorite ETA of the week.
