Blue’s Anthony Costa has lashed out at all those people who think that Gareth Gates is the new Elvis Presley.

The pint-sized ‘All Rise’ tunester admitted to us that, while he thinks Gareth is a talented young lad, he’s not as good as some people would have him cracked up to be. He’s also concerned that the 18-year-old Bradford stammerer may start believing the hype!

“At the end of the day, Gareth Gates is Gareth Gates” he stormed. “Elvis was an icon. Gareth isn’t. It annoys me how people say he’s the new Elvis and people bow down to him. He’s only 18 and he’ll start believing that. Good luck to him, though.”

Blue release their new single, ‘One Love’, on the 28th of October, followed by their second album a couple of weeks later.
