Elton John & Mary J. Blige - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues (Live-HQ)

[Vojakifka]

Laughing like childern,livng like lovers =)... great song and great live performance =)!!

[annahrwth242]

@Vojakifka I know right!!!..;D

[BaxorUpGreat]

Actually my favourite songs by Elton were "Can you feel the love tonight" and "Sacrifice" but the more I listen to the song the more favourite it is becoming... This is one of the best blues songs ever I believe

[JPBelmond0]

Quite frankly (though my name is Jim), I'm surprised at how little attention Mary J Blige is getting from the comments here. Everyone is just saying how Elton John is so great and how those were the good old days but come on people, think about it, he's aged and he's past his prime. Look how Blige's voice sounds JUST LIKE Elton's. She's such a wonderful singer and Elton just sounds like the wrinkly old man he is. This is the future of music. Blige4ever.

[sherzoufaly]

Uh~Mazing!

[trinbajam]

Church doesn't always happen in a cathedral. Elton and Mary went to CHURCH on this song!!!!!!

[Caciquehayuya]

Excelente!Solo alguien sin conocimientos musicales puede opinar que no le gusta.

[tallcoolone09]

Elton is great, as usual. But Mary jus gives me goose bumps when she sings this song! Love it!

[jcr402004]

NO ME GUSTA, NO PEGA, HUBIERA BUSCADO OTRA CANTANTE, PARA EL DUO

[emmiwemmy]

I first saw this a few years ago on TV and I have never and will never forget how Mary sounds here. Her voice gives me a sense of wonder about life.

[chhaattygroovy]

Mary J. Blige does Elton John's music proud. He's 100% right about how talented she is.

That pink jacket Sir Elton is wearing is heinous though. We all know you're gay, do you have to shout it from the rooftops?

[bascas715]

Great performance. Mary J. sang this song with her own style. Love it

[JamiylAlHaniyf]

[WILLIAMCHANEL]

PERFECTION



[cbarrett34]

i love you elton and mary

[Ritzik100]

when I sober up in the morning I'm learning to play the piano and will then find myself a black chick

[SeceyAzGangsta]

Elton John really got down on that piano.. Love MJB. She is the female Otis Redding

[g5pigott]

MJB said this was the most nervous she ever was in her life- how could you not be being on stage with Elton John?

[gmayer66]

@g5pigott I hear in this performance a kind of dialogue between EJ and MJB: In the first part, MJB was kind of frozen, stiff, not improvising. You could feel her discomfort. The EJ took over, and tried to loosen her up a bit. In the final part she was simply wonderful -- All heart, no fear, improvising freely, and in perfect harmony with EJ. I take this as a demonstration of EJ's incredible quality as mentor, that he managed to bring out the best in her.

[iknow30]

@gmayer66 you are so observant, because I sensed that Mary was a bit tense too. I have heard her perform and she seemed rather reserved at first, and it seems when Elton mentions her name in the song (about being there for her) she let it out. He is so generous and gracious. I love this man not just for his ethereal talent, but his ability to share the lime light with others. As you said, to be a wonderful mentor. Great observation!

[Natalia3824]

ADOROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Reeseriver]

Both of them are so talented individually, but I feel like they really excel at duets. She has a beautiful and emotional voice and he's just brilliant.

[HYJONES83]

omg!! they snapped!! i love them both!!

[mammajammamammis]

What a combo..... Excellent

[DrTrevorLGP]

She really Started to Sing the Blues in the end.

[go004321]

"I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" is one of my favorite EJ's song (if not THE one). This version rocks. I know everubody said that and it's already become a common place, but yes, MJB is hot!

[johnnystir]

3:57-4:23=amazing!

[ainsliebrockett]

fuckin brill

[tallcoolone09]

wow! Mary just rocked this song at the end...awesome job!

[Stacedogg130]

Great Duet. I loved this performance over a decade ago, and I love it in 2011!!!

[kmel5150]

Mary J Blige is HOTTTTT!!!!!

[MrEltonFloyd]

Cry in the night if it helps, But more than ever I simply...........

[MrEltonFloyd]

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply...........

[sdegregorio06]

I love how her voice gets raspy in the last couple of minutes, I think this version is beautiful and soulful.

[cbarrett34]

this is fucking awesome

[ohnoyouaint]

Thats my girl!!!!!!Both of them lol

[Werocknrolleveryday]

'Tis funny, the first few times I heard this version I wasn't keen on Mary's deep breathy tone, I didn't think it suited the song. However, the more I heard it the more I began to appreciate it. Now I think it's a brilliant duet. Mary's really pulls out all the stops, particularly the last minute or two.

[Beautiralla]

Mary obviously can do no wrong i love this

[pittycross]

Oh yes. Again, just too good.

[rorymorris1]

Mary totally rocked this track

[andreluizpascoal]

essa mulher canta muitooooooooooooooo

mary j te amoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[072576tj]

i like this song i would love to turn it to a gospel song, mary killed it

[MJUSAYIN]

The fan at 2:19 says it all. Effing amazing song. Blues at it's EJ best.

[ducky811]

This was just a masterpiece of a duet doing an already masterpiece of a song. MLB just took it and made it her own. That's what someone is supposed to do when the do a cover of someone's song.

[dakgotsunshine]

GOD! I HAVE GOOSE PIMPLES, DAAAAMN!

[buttkicker44]

[tphilander1]

This is absolutely wonderful. Thanks for posting this Loch

[mulusonic]

i thought she sounded horrible at the first part the first few times i heard this on my mom's "Mary Ja Blige & Friends" CD. but now I really like it. the deep, breathy vocals at the beginning of the song is now my favorite part, lol.

[tone430]

Mary fukked that song up!!!! She sang the shiit out of it,,,,,4real though!!!

Elton is a bad mofo!!!

The 2 of them together,,,,,,,WHAT!!!!!

[Aprilreign08]

Great remake of a great song! MJB is a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice..and Elton, well...he's an icon! Thanks Loch!

[LochRaven62]

Glad you like it, 4. I'm getting better at re-mastering these. The last two take up the full screen as you see. Now I'm itching to redo all of them :-)
