Elastic scattering amplitudes dominated by the Pomeron singularity which obey the principal unitarity bounds at high energies are constructed and analyzed. Confronting the models of double and triple (at $t=0$) Pomeron pole (supplemented by some terms responsible for the low energy behaviour) with existing experimental data on $pp$ and $\bar pp$ total and differential cross sections at $\sqrt{s}\geq 5$ GeV and $|t|\leq 6$ GeV$^{2}$ we are able to tune the form of the Pomeron singularity. Actually the good agreement with those data is received for both models though the behaviour given by the dipole model is more preferable in some aspects. The predictions made for the LHC energy values display, however, the quite noticeable difference between the predictions of models at $t\approx -0.4$ GeV$^{2}$. Apparently the future results of TOTEM will be more conclusive to make a true choice.
