Yeah the work on this ad is amazing, I've had it on the HD for quite a while. You should all get the high quality copy of it - it looks even more impressive then!

Very nice. Lets gather all these tidbits together (yes even Celine & Lisa Marie duets) and release a cool DVD. Would be much more entertaining then JAT's Hot Shots & Cool Clips.

I really can't stand this Elvis (clichematic) voice imitation, it really sounds poor..
