[ShalalaOtepAgpao]

Your candle burned out long before ,your legend NEVER did..

[Babyjoon12]

Love this song not only because it is to my Idol Norma Jean but because Elton John is amazing I dont care what anyone says about it and HELL YES I AM A 90'S KID WHO LISTENS TO THIS!!!!

LOL

[SuperVenomGaming]

@Babyjoon12 WOOT IM A 90'S KID TOO, (well born in '97) all my friends like rap, and they look at me like i got 2 heads when they hear i love guns and roses and Elton John. :D

[randumbvids11]

@Babyjoon12 98' and i would listen to anything other than this

[jakeharding22]

@Babyjoon12 '96 and oldies are mostly what i listen too. yes, i like the newer stuff, but i absolutely love this stuff. more meaningful.

[MrHoneybear01]

this is a sad song my gurl played this song at her dads funeral it is a great song but sad love u always amanda nicole lamkin forever and always miguel serrano olea

[LilyLuna2012]

My best friend died a couple years back from drowning. I miss her so freaking much and this song always makes me think of her because the song candle in the wind's meaning is about how someone's life has been so short and my friend Kaylee was only 8 when she died :( We all miss you Kaylee..

[musicforlife595]

This song was number 1 when i was born <3

[AwexjandrozFlickrz]

@musicforlife595 lol me too ;D

[tropicalbonerfish77]

im only 15 and i am obsessed with marilyns talent nobody since her has come close to her impact on the world...the most celebrated actress that ever lived and when i listen to this song or see her movies i feel so sad and feel i was born in the wrong times...she was so damn glamorous and amazingly talented...she was more than a pretty fase and a whispery seductive voice she was an accomplished actress who left this earth way too soon R.I.P <3

[loveforbeeuty]

ballet song.

[TheCricketdog]

This was the Number one song the week I was born... <3 means so much to me.. everytime i think about it, it remins me of my granpa who passed away 8 days after my 4th birthday... love and miss you Grandpa Larry

[starsweet4]

the verses are better than the chorus

[MixedBag27]

His and Turpin's best song.

[lozer13]

Why do people fight everywhere? Jesus fucking CHRIST! Just listen to the fucking song. Ignore other people who make comments that may annoy you. They initially came here for the same reason.

[BlakesLiberator]

@lozer13

Agreed. It's probably an attention thing.

[lozer13]

@BlakesLiberator Probably. But it gets old. There is always some sort of fight in the comments section of a YouTube video. It's fucking stupid. xD

[issoor]

this song was played at my grand father funeral and it bring tears 2 my eyes every time i hear it now

[rock54326789]

every time this song comes on the radio, i think of my grandma, her name was Norma Jean and every time i was with her and we heard this song she would say "hey, its my song" and we would laugh. I know this song is about Marilyn Monroe, but i think of my grandma when i hear it <3

[rachelrara100]

yes that is correct it was first marilin munroe then it was for diana

[MrSrdjan123]

Joj ovu pesmu ucimo iz engleskog pa mi se smucila vise... ! !

[Allegria00]

[flipboyjc]

@jules1624 Originally for Marilyn "Norma Jean" but dedicated to Princess Diana after her tragedy. :)

[babygirl75078]

@jules1624 the song was made first for marilin nonroe ,and then when diana was killed he made another version for her,,,,get ur information right before u go and curs someone...

[123robm123]

@jules1624 What a tard. The first line kind of explains who it's about. Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe).

[ransusfling]

The only reason I got here is cause simon said lyrics from this in and episode of yogscast o-o

[Art13bg]

Isn't it:

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend NEVER did

???

[rubyxxrad]

@Art13bg "your candle burned out long before" isnt a complete sentence. its Your candle burned out before your legend ever did meaning that she died but her legend still lived on

[JJJohnson78]

I know this song is about Monroe, but my girlfriend who passed away on November 23, 2011 was named Norma Jean. Love you always!!!

[xXghostXx1992]

Rest In Peace Norma Jean ;_; Good Night sweet princess

[musicxaddict109]

[klaudialour]

Música MARAVILHOSA!

[taldu65]

I love Marilyn Monroe...

Bit how I feel sad for Norma Jeane...

[heatherzbee]

This song was originally written for norma jean aka marilyn monroe but Elton and his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, rewrote the lyrics and played this at Princess Diana's funeral in 1997. They changed the first line from "Goodbye Norma Jean" to "Goodbye England's Rose." After the funeral, Elton released the version dedicated to Princess Diana as "Candle In The Wind '97." Within a month, it became a #1 UK hit and the biggest selling single ever. Proceeds went to charity.

[taldu65]

Marilyn Monroe, Lady Diana, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor... This songs fits with every Hollywood star... May them rest in peace, and their brighting souls shine forever.

[semkobenko]

LI+OL

[blackstar201188]

This song fits perfectly with Marco Simoncelli s death:(

[charlieallen29]

[cadedify]

RIP NANNY CHILDS

[13kokopuffs]

@semkobenko lovely.....

[ladybeex11278]

I wished she could have heard this song in life, her soul would feel blessed to know that not everyone judged the same way. and elton jhon's talent is amazing to get 2 diferent song from the same melody.

[ladybeex11278]

[Moronicah]

Please, don't fight about the sort of person Marilyn Monroe was. She was phenomenal at what she did, that's all that matters. This song is beautiful; just listen to it.

[greatestofalltime01]

Britney Spears is the modern day Norma Jean

[haribo122roxsox]

@greatestofalltime01 No. She Isn't. 

[gobalbucs]

@greatestofalltime01 yeeeaaahhhh i dont think so >__>

[93goldenfish]

@greatestofalltime01 whut? 

[LauraOrangeWilliams]

@greatestofalltime01 You clearly don't know who Norma Jeane/Marilyn Monroe was. People will have forgot Britney's name in 50 years. No-one has forgetten Norma Jeane!

[soogu1s]

Amazing song!!

[MyDaniela68]

Wonderfull!

[Isobel152]

WONDERFUL MARILYN

You will always live in our hearts.

[BeginToWonder]

You're an idiot if you've just watched this video and you still dont know who this song is about.

Marilyn Monroe legend. <3

[danbrdoober]

@BeginToWonder This song has always been about the one and only Marilyn to me.He should have made another song for Diana in my opinion.This one belongs to Marilyn as far as I'm concerned.

[mahsaraha777]

@BeginToWonder princess Diana u idiot , not marilyn monroe

[ThePointinDog]

@mahsaraha777 This one is about Monroe, he rewrote it for Diana...

[bigdipper117]

@mahsaraha777 the lyrics are right in front of you, he specifically mentions Monroe

'who sees you as something more than sexual/ more than just our Marilyn Monroe

[jjcguitar]

@mahsaraha777 IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR MARILYN MONROE THAT'S WHY HE SAYS GOODBYE NORMA JEAN YOU PLONK!

[Doctoratkins]

@BeginToWonder Never heard of her

[tippytop7]

@Doctoratkins Sorry, you're just completely stupid.

[Wagios]

@BeginToWonder Lol you trolled some people a lot ;D

[spotclock]

may b intended for sum 1 else but the chorus reminds me of my little sister hu died as a baby

[curio46]

My name is Mary Jean...I had a dog named Tippy....I am a recovering addict /alcoholic...i understood her pain before my own.

[day500champ08]

That fact that this song was not only a hit once by twice with different lyrics shows just how amazing Elton and Bernie really are.

[SoccerFish97]

"Blonde" by Joyce Carol Oates was one of the best books i've read. Elton Johns perception of Marilyn (shown in this song) agrees with the book.

[Karegador00]

Marilyn Monroe is a tragic example of what happens when people see you for little more than your body and you can't get close to anyone because they don't see you, they see your rolls on the silver screen. Fame is a painful and harsh mistress and it destroys more than it benifits. Heath Letcher, Micheal Jackson(who was destroyed long before his candle went out. Which resulted in the infamy that haunted him later in life, up until his death.), and so many other have died thanks to fame.

[minahoang512]

@Karegador00 sad but true :(

[kencrump]

@Karegador00 Sorry. But the truth is. She was a glaring example of what happens when people forget who they are and where they came from. Money and stardom doesn't mean you are above the masses. It just means you have to work harder to hold onto who you really are. Norma Jean lost her roots. She lost her way and she paid for it in blood. My hope will always be that she is remembered for the tragic end she met. Not the glitz and glamour that blinded her and so many others in her wake....

[Rennimagus]

@kencrump Are you actually blaming a person for "Forgetting" a life of mental and emotional abuse and abandonment by her insane mother, topped off with sexual abuse all through her young adulthood? Her problems were manifestations of trauma. Ever notice how many people in the Biz have similar stories? "Glitz" and Glamour" of public life is, for them, a sort of coping device so that they feel loved.

[deavila7771]

good job

[Sky7Lea]

The pressure of fame has killed many. Marilyn died of drugs because people put too much pressure on her.... I love her, always have since I was little.....

[deavila7771]

i really love this song, the music is so beautiful

[madamebiLLy82281]

@ChuckNorrisKratosLOL Monroe was her grandmothers last name! they were going to originally call her Marilyn Miller but she wanted to have something to do with her family!

[madamebiLLy82281]

This song should never have been changed for Princess Diana. I think only one woman deserves the rite to be called a Princess and that was the one and only gorgeous, caring, lovely Marilyn Monroe xx

[madamebiLLy82281]

@madamebiLLy82281 BUT Lady Diana was still an AMAZING person! 

[PonketyPonk]

'Marilyne was found in the nude' ....... Obviously the marilyn monroe version!!!

[PetrBrezinaAssko]

who can dislike this song!?!?!?

[Emilyvids1]

i have this song on my keyboard piano. :) its so good. i sing it a lot :3

[Books951]

this song gives me goosebumps.

[WasWasLo]

i cant belive this is the most sucessfull song of all time

[madamebiLLy82281]

Respond to this video... 

[madamebiLLy82281]

@WasWasLo Why can't you believe* it?

[WasWasLo]

@madamebiLLy82281 because its a good song very good but doesn't deserves to be the most sucessfull at all time. but i guess it is because of princess diana or w-e and its too hyped but respect!~

[madamebiLLy82281]

@WasWasLo It was actually after Marilyn Monroe. But its the passion in the song. Someone is singing this amazing song for someone he never met. It was seeing the other side of someone, not just the superstar everyone saw.

[skullcandyyy23]

Norma Jeane/Marilyn Monroe -- forever a legend

[ShnapkrakklePop]

This song should of stayed this song not twisted into something else. This is Marilyn's song sorry Princess Diana.

[madamebiLLy82281]

@ShnapkrakklePop OHMIGOD THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! i agree a hundred percent!

[Littlemissdramatic12]

Just to get things straight with everyone, Elton wrote this first for Marilyn Monroe. THIS is the original. Later on, however, when Princess Dianna passed away, Elton re-used this song for Dianna, but instead of 'Goodbye Norma Jean' , it was 'Goodbye English Rose'.

[MileyCyrusFan1533]

how cant you know :S it says "who sees you as somethin more than sexual, more than just our marilyn monroe" but whatever :)

[MrJewesy]

Marilyn's former name was spelt with an 'E' at the end of it, 'Norma Jeane'. Beautiful song.

[Sweetestdelusion]

Just a wonderful music. I love it.

[jjcguitar]

how dumb can you lot get??!!! "goodbye norma jean" ??

[allthemusic111]

I like both versions, but I feel like this one was much sweeter. I mean, he's writing for someone, who probably would never have had anyone write about her. It's so touching and sweet, that he would write for her, I mean, I'm sure everyone would be writing about Princess Diana. They were both very wonderful people, but I'm just saying, that this is unique.

[gclover21]

Elton John has two versions. One for Marilyn Monroe and then he remade another one for when Princess Diana died.

r.i.p to the both of them :( Both very beautiful people !

[1996solar]

finalmente quello che cercavo..canzone con testo..cmq era una grande diana e elton john ank se è gay resta sempre bravo

[billybobjoesmith101]

just o stop the arguments. This song is for MARILYN MONROE!! ok there its settled!

[Kshann06]

to much for that...for whom...we better ask elton john

-black heart-

[krazykimberley]

my aunty had this played at her funeral :( i love you aunty joanne xoxo

[nathalQa1]

this video is to Marylin Monroe but after it was edited special to princess Diana

[unicornheart99]

Norma Jean AKA Marilyn Monroe is a beautiful amazing wonderful women that ever hit the Earth. People wanted to be her. But now that she is gone people dress up and dye their hair blond and smile like the angel but they could never compare.I would have like to known her but i wasn't even born. I'm just 11 and i love her

[klevy80692]

@unicornheart99 you are really weird

[madamebiLLy82281]

@unicornheart99 "Norma Jean AKA Marilyn Monroe is a beautiful amazing wonderful women that ever hit the Earth" Biggest understatement I have ever heard!

[mx060990]

The main version was 4 the amazing Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe) the second, England's Rose version's for Princess Diana...

[simonedeanx]

this is beautiful. RIP Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana. And Thank You Elton John, For Writing This Piece Of Amazing Music. <3

[rossie104]

IS FOR MARILYN MONROE!!!! HELOOO HE SAY NORMA JEAN

[heartbr0kenkid]

rest in peace norma jean! 

[Cloudface]

I can't believe that some people are even asking whether this one is for Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana. Marilyn Monroe's name is IN THE LYRICS. This video HAS ALL OF THE LYRICS WRITTEN ON THE SCREEN.

Or you can google Norma Jean if you can't figure it out after that...

[perfectlyhis]

@Cloudface Well, I guess we can say that there are some really unintelligent people out there on the internet! :p

[RandomlyRina]

This shows Norma Jean not Marilyn. The real her.(:

[auntypopup]

Marylin Monroe, then re done for Princess Diana when she was killed :) x

[ethanpaquetmjfan01]

Goodbye Elizabeth Taylor

[rodfpuncher]

much different than rihanna and J-Z, because this is called music

[bethysoph]

I get to do a lyrical dance to this!! Love it! So sad though

[dancegodess220]

i think a person loved this song to much that their hand slipped & accidentally pressed the dislike button.... ^_^

[kpoll2]

good bye norma jean, Marilyn real name

[worldgonegaga]

@kpoll2 norma jean was her real name

[emopinata12345]

Obviously this is to Marilyn, It says her name like 3 times. I love it, (:

[wickedlove135]

...Marilyn Monroe smashes it:')

[WillScarlet1990]

[ImaMinorCharacter]

@MissHLA93 it wasnt at 9/11 was it ??? either way my sympathy is with you

[MissHLA93]

@ImaMinorCharacter Yeah it was, sadly and thankyou for your kindness!

[philipisphilip]

Is this a tribute to Marilyn Monroe or to Princess Diana?

[SadSongs4You]

@philipisphilip This one is to Marilyn Monroe

[kelseyeastman]

@SadSongs4You @philipisphilip actually, it is to norma jean, sugar
