Michael put on a great show. He interacted with the audience, which really got them going. He had them dancing and rushing to the stage, begging for his scarves and teddy bears. You would have thought they were after Elvis himself. After the show Michael did a meet and greet with fans lined up for 45 minutes, they really wanted to meet the man who did such a great job paying tribute to The King. Michael O''Connor is a World Class Elvis. Dave Cannon WTDK 107.1 FM "The Duck" and onmember of the Nanticoke RiverFest Committee, Seaford, Delaware.

• Michael was absolutely OUTSTANDING!! Michael was not only an incredible performer, but he is ABSOLUTELY professional in the way he handles his business, and clients. I NEVER had to follow up with him, he was always proactively following up with me, and assured that every detail was handled to assure a great performance. Additionally, Micheal is VERY focused on 'his client'. He seeks to understand their needs, what they are trying to accomplish and what the desired outcome is. He then crafts his show to match the desired outcome of his client! Michael, GREAT Job and THANK YOU!! -- Paul R, King Of Prussia, PA, 8/23/2008
• Micheal was easy to work with, lived up to his commitments and put on a GREAT show. I was concerned hiring some one for a special party (my sisters birthday) that I had not seen, but communications with Micheal were good, his website and press reviews were good and his performance topped them all. Thanks Micheal and good luck in your House of Blues show tomorrow! Dave -- David T, Lansdale, PA, 8/9/2008
• It was as if Elvis himself was at my Dads wedding. Michael was absolutely wonderful. Not only did he look and sound like Elvis but he was very accommodating in staying after he was done and having pictures taken. Do yourself and your event a favor and hire Michael!!! -- Rachel S, Philadelphia, PA, 5/24/2008
• I CANNOT begin to tell how overwhelmed and pleased we were that we chose Michael!! My Mother's Birthday will be remembered by all but mostly by herself! Michael is not only genuine but heart felt throught the time. His performance is not just a man who sings Elvis but a man who sincerly is true to Elvis.. you can tell the difference between the two. Michael treats you as a friend and not just another client, he is so true to his word and compelled to satisfy any and all of needs! I Thank You Gigmaster and Michael for a memory that will last a lifetime!!! -- Andrea G, West Keansburg, NJ, 7/19/2008

• Despite 96+ temperature, Michael gave an awesome outdoor performance! Everyone loved him! His voice, choice of songs, costuming, and nuances were perfect! He was open to special requests and interacted with the guests one-on-one. He "was" Elvis in every respect. He's also an extremely nice person! Several guests took information for future bookings. I would hire him back in a heartbeat! If your scale went over 5, he would have 5++++. Michael, thank you so much! -- Melanie G, Pottstown, PA, 6/7/2008

• We hired Michael O'Connor to perform at our sister's 60th birthday party. He was phenomenal! His voice was incredible, and with our eyes closed, it sounded like the real Elvis was in the room. Michael O'Connor was very personable with everyone, including the restaurant staff. He was the best Elvis Tribute Artist (ETA) we had ever heard or seen and recommend that for those who wish to see a fantastic ETA, they should forget Las Vegas and come to the East Coast to see Michael O'Connor, as he was outstanding in all aspects and we could not have asked for a better performer. Thank you for making our sister Linda's birthday a moment she will treasure always! -- Camilla S, Havre De Grace, MD, 4/20/2008
• His interaction with the quests while singing was especially enjoyable. -- Ellen G, Croydon, PA, 12/21/2007
• Michael was absolutely amazing at the event. He came to the party even though he was extremely ill, performed with a stellar performance and thrilled the audience. My 77-year-old mother was especially touched when Michael sang to her and gifted her with a teddy bear and scarf. Michael's act is top notch and his performance is amazing. I was so lucky to have him at the party and I recommend him to everyone who needs a top-notch performer. Thanks again Michael.
