  • Anyone know who's playing Liza Minelli here? She nails it!

  • Elton here does kind of looks like Tarantino. Never noticed until now.

  • Thats not Elton John. This video was made in the 2000's for his concerts. That is Justin Timberlake playing him.

  • Offcorse I know, you dumbell!

    I meant that that way Elton looked in the 60s-70s reminded me of Tarantino!

  • you twat

  • Wonderful video, wonderful song. Great actor!

  • my past freind's sister is in this video 59 seconds in the video

  • your past friends sister is a skank like you.

  • they dont make videos like this anymore

    but they dont make Eltons and Bernie Taupins anymore either.....the ultimate video about the highs of success and the terrible cost and wreckage that can come with it...absolute genius

  • this video does have "breaks" or what would be called edits. the first one comes at 1:22 then again at 3:04. but still such a great video its very hard to notice.

  • I thin this and the other video with Robert Downy Jr. are amazing. Besides the music and the talent, they're both one long camera shot, with out any breaks. Very hard to do I would think?

  • This song symbolizes how no matter what obstacles get in our way we must continue onward.Either it be age,mentallity,or emotional stress,we must pick up the peices and keep going to help and support or loved ones in need.

  • Think what you want about Justin Timberlake, but he continues to surprise me with his amazing talent. He really REALLY captures the look and mannerism of younger Elton here. I'm blown away once again!

  • Also, it expresses Elton's feelings about getting older and not feeling like he was putting his all into his perfomances for the fans.

  • It's Justin Timberlake as a young Elton John- lip syncing the performance....Elton John uses other artists in this fashion as a common practice, i.e Robert Downey Jr. in "I Want Love"

  • i like the idea of using other artists for Elton's vids. obviously Elton isn't a beauty queen but at the same time, having someone else lip synch the vids adds a new dimension to the songs.

  • what's this song about?

  • What a beautiful song

  • I think I sing this in the shower every morning. Hard not to feel this way when you're getting older and more maudlin. No big fan of Timberlake or his former group, but excellent job looking like a young Dame Reggie.

  • Simply amazing song. At the moment I could honestly say that I relate in quite a few ways to the lyrics

  • I'd give my left bollock to be able to sing half as good as this man.

  • Not really a Justin Timberlake fan ...But this is great. He does awesome!

  • Whaha, I knew the song for years... today is the first time I am seeing the video!! Wicked!

  • Elton john = LEGEND!!

  • this is my favorite music video of all time... why do more ppl not know about it??

  • that guy wearing the red shorts reminds me of the side of a cigarette paper...

  • he was handsome before! :)

  • Elton? That's cos he's Justin Timberlake!!

  • i used to listen to this song nonstop!! i was reminded of it when a friend said he was doing his own version of it... luv it

  • wow justin is a good young elton !

  • i want a piece of that donald duck cake!

  • great song!

  • justin did good....

  • IS THAT DAVID HYDE PIERCE FROM FRASER ?

  • NO. It's Justin Timberlake. Check out the other comments to prove that I'm not lying.

  • good song ^ ^

  • Elton John is the best :D !! love him

  • why has this video gotten so little publicity?

  • one of the best videos ever...

  • Seriously?

    This song is absolutely amazing.

  • I agree. Good song.

  • Awesome video. WoW! Its been around for about 8 - 9 years now. I just recently heard about it from a documentary of the photographer David La Chapelle. This is prime filmaking in style, design, cinematography, concept and execution. Please correct me if im wrong but was this one continuous shot ala: Scorsese?Justin timberlake really showed some chops here as well. All top notch artistry.

  • no, its broken up a few times, but its still amazing. lachapelle is one of the greatest artists of our time. i <3 his work :)

  • LaChapelle's photographic work is indeed very very good. I heard he recently purchased acres and acres of land in Hawaii and retired. I hope it's more of a vacation. Artists such as LaChapelle add so much to an industry that otherwise would be very generic.

  • This is my favorite video of all-time. JT was just brilliant in it. He really earned my respect with this. Amazing. I never get tired of watching it.

  • I have never notice Pee Wee until you pointed it out

  • Mmmmmmmmmm Justin Timberlake is Elton JOhn in this Video!!! Let me guess, another dumb YANK???!!

  • Anyone notice "Pee Wee Herman" Paul Reubens in this video? Happy B'Day today to him (August 27th 1952)

  • I love this song, but the music video realy bugs me. I get what it's trying to do, but it comes off as "I'm rich and famous but I am STILL whining!" The song is better on it's own.

  • how could this be viewed less than 20,000 times - masterpiece film clip. Does anyone know the meaning of the symbol 3.05 there is a soldier,wife& child. is the young child Elton when he was about 7 yrs of age and they are his parents?????

  • haha i like elton john want's to say in this videoclip how fake the reality around him started to be when he became famous.... and that it won't stop anymore....

    i guess even curt cobain was right in some way .. lol

  • Wow what a pretty song...third time listening and looking at the video

  • Sir Elton needs his story to be put up in fllm..quick, fast and in a hurry :)

  • man... if justin had a deeper voice, he'd be as big as brad pitt. too bad.

  • this is such a creative video!

  • I cannnnnot!... believe that is justin timberlake! he does look like elton in it though... but it's weird...

  • I know what you mean! I told my girlfriend it was him! Nevermind how imposible that may be LOL.

  • u are stupid? where is justing timberlake in this video? seems like people getting dumber and dumber with day..

    this elton john videoclip no borcoli head in it

  • Look who is talking. Justin Timberlake IS Elton John in this vid hun :)

  • don't be a dick hole, it's the truth it is justin timberlake playing elton john.

    look it up.

  • this is such a beautiful song with beautiful lyric...thanks a lot of uploading this.

  • ha i haven't heard this song for 7 years .

  • &paul reubens is hysterical in this. fantastic song, NB video.

  • is the video supposed to represent a very rough time in elton's life when he was young

  • It is justin timberlake just wiki him, been a fan of his since Nsync, you can clearly see who it is.

  • My mind is now blown.

  • one of my favs of elton!! and justin looks wierd but it's all good as long as he don't sing the song himself

  • i dont know what video you saw............. but it wasnt this one. i saw the making of this video on mtv. i remember it was one of those preimering type videos. you know where the show the making then the video. and it was jt.

  • Beyond this that's the closest

    6 degrees of separation for Devon Sawa

    & Elton John. IT"S CLEARLY Justin in

    the video. Freeze-fame the video &

    look again. JUSTIN WITHOU A DOUBT !!!

  • Devon Sawa was not young Elton John

    even wikipedia credits Justin Timberlake

    as the young Elton John. Devon Sawa

    was Stan in the video by Marshall Mathers

    (aka Eminem) along side Dido as his pregnant girlfriend. The closest he gets

    to Elton from there is that Elton performed

    dido's part on the song at the awards that

    Dido was unavailably to perform at, so

    Elton stepped in & sang Dido's part on

    the song.

  • it s jt father big ej fan

  • Comment removed

  • Actually, it is Sawa. Look at his teeth. And eyes and nose. I actually remember when they filmed this and the big announcement of casting Sawa. Seems like rumors spread like wildfire because you're all believing it's JT. Timberlake played young Elton in his straight-to-TV biopic. You guys are blind.

  • No it's not.

  • yeah Im pretty sure its justin timberlake...silly...I mean there are interviews with both of them saying that it is him but Elton John himself could be mistaken...

  • Errr no it isn't. It is Timberlake

  • it would be great if he went through all this before going on stage at the Muppet Show

  • love this song, and kudos to justin timberlake for a remarkable likeness , great song , great video !!

  • the model is justin timberlake

  • Such a cool video.

  • On this album Elton was finnaly able

    to recapture some of his brilliance from

    the first several years of his career, after

    a lot of inconsistent floundering through the 80's and 90's.

  • Love this song and this video

  • Exquisitely conceived and directed video. Really takes me back to this era for Elton.

  • the model looks like beeteljuice with that clothes. lol.

  • So after all these times of watching this video and I just now see Paul Rubens.

  • i am a new fan from elton john. i am a fan thanks to the video from the "the one". i am in love with the model of then video from "the one".

  • I absolutely LOVE this song!

  • the girl who plays Liza Minelli is lovely!

  • Which is that? Forgive my ignorance.

  • How can you go wrong with a beautiful song and a beautiful man!

  • omg!i can't even recognize justin!
