They had to dig up Elvis and clean him up a bit, and make-up did a fine job too.

Yea, but choosing not to use Celine Dion.

It's funny how the CGI Elvis had a better stage presence than Celine Dion.

Slick shoes?!! Are you crazy?!!

OK, the horrors and tastelessness of this aside. Was Elvis digitally added later? Or was there some other trickery involved? The YouTube claims it's a "hologram". I don't know what they have been smoking while watching Star Wars, but such technology doesn't exist yet. Best one we can do still is the smoke-and-mirrors that enabled Gorillaz to appear on stage.

How did this appear to the audience?

Ah, apparently I am correct in thinking the audience saw nothing:

Wasn't Elvis in the army the year she was born?

My wife is a major Celine fan.
Wish I'd known that before we tied the knot.

Funny, it’s more the other way around for me.

No, scratch that: they both kind of annoy me.

Seems to me they had Coke commercials back some years with dead people in them.

Prolly in 10 years they'll have movies starring dead people (no not Zombies) and living actors will be out of a job. Heh.

Awnold with Grace Kelly. Naw, I don't think so.

Too "creepatastic".

Didn't they already do that with Marlon Brando in Superman Returns?

If anything they should have projected Elvis rolling over in his grave.
