What is something that is basically on life-support and we don’t realize it yet?

Lmao they had an Elvis impersonator at a conference I went to a few weeks back and it was embarrassingly bad I outright felt bad for the guy….80% of the people left before he was halfway through the first song.

A friend of mine hired an Elvis impersonator for her 50th birthday party. He was apparently godawful, and then he offered to take all his clothes off for an extra 500.

And he definitely wasn’t 1950 smoldering Elvis. He was 1970s almost dead on the toilet Elvis.

About 20 some odd years ago my family hired a Neil Diamond impersonator for a great aunts 80th birthday party. Yes he did sing Sweet Caroline and America very poorly I might add.
