Too much emphasis on a look-a-like and not enough comment on who can capture style, poise, manner and presentation. Who can emit the aura, articulate what goes on in the head that produces the beauty and complexity of music and the poetry of the lyrics. Who can portray the man, bring what's inside to life and have it transposed to film; this transcends the music and also must include the personal side of his life. This is a difficult one. Musicians are generally, by nature, very complex, and the simplicity of movies loses that which actually forms and makes the artist. Difficult.
