As I said at the beginning of my review, I am willing to acknowledge that Elvis played a seminal role in the development of rock and rock, but by the same token I think that Elvis was definitely evolutionary musically, even if he was revolutionary in terms of impact.
They play the track back and he agrees that he sounds like "a million other singers." Peg recommends that he "sing it like [he] feels it." Vince puts aside the guitar he's be awkwardly strumming, and sings the song again with a little more soul.
The TV special is the highpoint of the movie, as Vince/Elvis performs a rocking version of "Jailhouse Rock." It is big production number, complete with fake jail cells and a dozen dancers, but this is vintage Elvis, a snarling, gyrating show-stopper.
