Elton's voice sounds so different today than it did 40years ago...I wonder if that's by design by him, or if his singing voice just changed that much...

'Coincidentally' in 1848 the Society of Jesus(Jesuits) were ousted from France for the second time. " Aramis took the good things in this life as steppingstones to rise to bad ones."

I'm 14, and Elton John is still the best. Justin Bieber won't be able to do stuff like this when he's 60. He'll probably still have the same voice, though. lol
This guy is an awsome pianoist good performances from SirEltonJohn,I saw him in princegeorger bc Canada on July16/2010what a awsome night at the cn center major icon
These guys are the best in my lifetime(Elton and the Men). And they let me listen. Still. For free. And I keep buying their stuff. Now, what's up with all this "You gonna spend extortionary prices to listen" crap from Van Morrison and Prince and all these other "the industry is screwing everything up" performers. If they would quit drawing their pay checks from "the industry"... and they are good... then they wouldn't have to worry about an audience. Would they?
Just saw Elton live in Taho 7/25/10, At age 62, amazing!! And I agree, most music personalities today wont last a few years before they are hasbeens. And Lady Gaga.. LOLLLLL
This concert was sick... I managed to get in the day of the concert, paid for nothing, sat 10 rows back, center, and got backstage afterwards and was drinking beer with a lot of the celebrities that were there. Probably the best night of my life
ELTON JOHN IS A TRUE LEGEND!! Even after 40 years his music is still heard around the world. His powerful songs have touched millions and millions all over the world. I know I speak for many when I say "THANK YOU ELTON JOHN, THANK YOU!"
i didn`t live through this music period but i wished i could`ve i hate the new music, even thugh i am young i think rap sucks, people only rap cuz they can`t sing
Roy Khan, the lead singer of Kamelot. Elton John is good, and I will always like him better than any metal band, but Roy Khan has him beat as far as amazing live performances go. Go watch the live videos of When The Lights Are Down and Abandoned.
@llamaL0v3 Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well.
This just proves that my generation had the BEST music, the BEST artists, and the most enduring music catalog of all time....BAR NONE. I feel privileged to have lived through it.
Do you suppose Lady GaGa will be able to pull something like this off 40 years from now?
And yet one will be able to go to almost any city in the world and hear Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner or any number of composers whose music will still resonate long after Elton John is a shaded memory. Not that he's not fantastic, but seriously, claiming that EJ and his generation are "the BEST artists" singing "the BEST music...BAR NONE" is a bit naiive.
Hmmm? Lady Gaga writes her own stuff, has a great LIVE voice...think you're jumping the gun there a bit. Why are you comparing Elton and Lady Gaga anyway? Lame!
@yourenchantedgifts The point I was making was not to compare the two; rather to point out that most of today's "artists" will not go the distance that so many of my generation's artists have in the past 40 years. The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Aretha, Judy Collins, Heart to name a very small number of the greats who can still pack a punch to this day. I don't think Lady Gaga who is the flavor of the year right now has the staying power of to go the 40!
I'm not one to be on youtube constantly, so excuse my ignorance when I ask---how do you turn off the obnoxious, stupid, and repulsive "pop up bubbles" that come up?

This just proves that my generation had the BEST music, the BEST artists, and the most enduring music catalog of all time....BAR NONE. I feel privileged to have lived through it.
Do you suppose Lady GaGa will be able to pull something like this off 40 years from now?
I didn't think so.....

And yet one will be able to go to almost any city in the world and hear Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner or any number of composers whose music will still resonate long after Elton John is a shaded memory. Not that he's not fantastic, but seriously, claiming that EJ and his generation are "the BEST artists" singing "the BEST music...BAR NONE" is a bit naiive.

Hmmm? Lady Gaga writes her own stuff, has a great LIVE voice...think you're jumping the gun there a bit. Why are you comparing Elton and Lady Gaga anyway? Lame!
yourenchantedgifts 1 year ago
@yourenchantedgifts The point I was making was not to compare the two; rather to point out that most of today's "artists" will not go the distance that so many of my generation's artists have in the past 40 years. The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Aretha, Judy Collins, Heart to name a very small number of the greats who can still pack a punch to this day. I don't think Lady Gaga who is the flavor of the year right now has the staying power of to go the 40!

I'm not one to be on youtube constantly, so excuse my ignorance when I ask---how do you turn off the obnoxious, stupid, and repulsive "pop up bubbles" that come up? Could we have invented anything more irritating? Oh yeah, we did--we have logos and flashing animation ads during television broadcasts...these pop ups are just as bad---kill the bastard who invented this concept. Thanks for reading. Mathew.

put your mouse on the bottom right of the player. a little window should pop up, click the top option that turns off annotations. done.
They can be really annoying.
