gennisis Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Not just a singer,..nor just an actor,...nor just a comedian. Who ,in your opinion are the best ever top 3 entertainers ?? For me its No 1...way ahead...ELVIS of course. No 2... a giant in his time...Al Jolson. No 3 ... grew into films after his crooner days.....Frank Sinatra. Being from UK ,runners up domesticaly would be Gracie Fields...Ken Dodd....Benny Hill....and although I hate to say it ...Cliff Richards. AND as far as simply a comedian...how about Tony Blair !!!

Wrong Turn Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 There are a few top entertainers. Elvis is at or near the top. He had the charisma, or what I call, the "it." Elvis had the enigmatic thing. He had the good voice and the looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked for entertainers, not just singers and comedians etc. That is what you have listed. I reckon a real allrounder that wins hands down iN all categories WOULD BE.......

Shotime Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Andrew Dice Clay Whatever happened to him? I still laugh (and quote) when I think of some of his stuff, and he was a good actor. The Stones, but just an addition to the heretofore mentioned entertainers. Someone already mentioned Thai politicians, but I think some of the Thai girls are the best (actresses, that is).

Tinkelbell Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Charlie Chaplin ! He was a genious. Many of his movies which he wrote (that included screen plays and music scores), directed and himself starred in it had become classic. To name a few of his greatest achivement : The Kid The Gold Rush Modern Times The Circus City Lights The Great Dictator Limelight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickey Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Jim Davidson in Sinderella. John Cleese in anything, Bob Monkhouse for his wit, Les Dawson for his impersonations Any Two Ronnies sketches [specially Terry Wogans floral dance, ] it combined everything !!!!!
