  • I just wish elton john didn't have to be in it. I really try to listen but when his voice comes on I just wince and stop paying attention. But the killers are amazing. As is joseph. I feel like no one ever appreciates him. And I wish I could like this song more

  • Who else in on vocals with him?

  • amazing. how have i ever heard this until now?

  • Elton John and The Killers!!!!!!!!!

    beautiful.

  • can i hear elton john singing on this ?

  • Why do people think Brandon is gay? I know Brandon is marred with children. Just cause he supports gay marriage doesn't make him gay. And yes I support gay marriage 2 the fullest but I'm not gay. anywho, LOVE this band. Theyre definitely amazing

  • Plus i fancey the oants off him, he is flippin gorgous i wouldnt like a gay guy lol =)

    he got 2 kids

  • video atrapa cristianos

  • interesting....a song about the birth of Jesus and a bunch of you want to dwell on who's gay and who isn't. WHO CARES??????

  • Makes me cry whenever I hear it.

  • What does gay people playing this song have anything to do with how great a song is. By the way, Brandon Flowers supports Gay Marriage...even though he is a Mormon. You see, it is possible to be open minded even when your religion say otherwise.

  • i would say dont hate the person but hate the sin

  • Amen, brother or sister.

  • just like how i drink , fornicate , steel and im still a evangelican

  • Isn't Bowie.

    Is Elton John and the pet shop boy's lead singer

  • 84,000 views........

  • why does it matter if they are gay, even though brandon flowers has a wife and child?

  • This is an awesome song ^.^

    ~TK4E

  • It definitely would've been better if it was just The Killers.

  • absolutely.

  • well It's good, not like the others tho, they always come up with an x-mas related song at that season haha...

  • this song seems heavily influenced by david bowie

  • The deep-voiced singer sounds like Bowie mixed with Roger Waters

  • I love The Killers!! But I've never heard this song before..

  • very good!!!i like this song..great killers

  • is this song on any of there cds i don't remember it at all?

  • and Elton John

  • i hear the pet shop boys and David Bowie to :)

  • very religious song. i dont really like it but brandon's singing parts sound really nice.

  • Way different from Dont shoot me Santa and A Great Big Sled. But still good.

  • Very Good suena de lujo, como todo lo de este grupo

  • Comment removed

  • Super Teil

  • Its a great song. Spaceman is great too, check out the Spaceman Music Video on my channel, its so awesome.

  • i dont find this much of a sell out song, i mean... they can tone it down for xmas right!? it not bad..

  • where do u get the idea that it is a sell out song?

  • is this brandon singing? it doesn't sound like him at all...

  • It's Elton John.

  • ok awesome thanks for the help.

  • well he's singing in the beginning of the song :P and bits and pieces throughout the song.

  • this is on great song

  • ive never heard this song but i LOVE the killers and its goood!

  • KILLERS is my FAVORITE BAND!!!!! HELLZ YA!!

  • The killers have yet to write a terrible song. All of their songs are good. It is the way they build throughout the song and hit you at certain moments. Think about how almost all of their song have a vacancy at the begining then they add drums, then bass, then synth, vocals etc. It is like they pull you in.

  • where is this song from??

  • its a killers single. the killers have three christmas singles, "great big sled" "dont shoot me santa" and this one.

  • DUDE! i love this!

  • love this song!! fuck yeah!! the killers rock!!

  • Check out my review of this song on associated content website and let me know if you agree..

    search under the title:

    "Joseph, Better You Than Me" By The Killers and Elton John: A Review

  • what a strange song.. but i love it =]

  • This song is awesome...seriously it is such a good song but for some reason isn't that popular...=/

  • i noticed that with some of their other songs. they are soo good, yet not popular at all.

  • was it just me or does this song have a nice little guitar solo...for a killers song.

  • Would you guys shut up? A person's sexuality has nothing to do with the music. You're completely taking away from the meaning of the song and Christmas in general.

    Brandon Flowers IS NOT GAY. He might've been bi earlier on in the Killers' popularity, but he is HAPPILY MARRIED. To a woman. With a child.

    There is nothing that makes me more angry. So just stop.

    This is an A+ song. Lovely collaboration, lovely falsetto from Mr. Flowers, lovely guitar solo.

    Happy Christmas. :]

  • tru dat

  • Im with you on that, Screw those haters.

  • Brandon Flowers (signer of the killers) isn't gay. He doesn't understand why people think that about him when he has a wife and son.

  • Elton John and Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys)sing too

  • i dont think hes gay cuz hes mormon with a wife and a kid. but idk just a hunch

  • this reminds me of the velvet underground

  • I agree,I liked the previous two better!

  • For your information theres more than one "gay guy" doing this song. Elton John, who is a star of legendary status, a member of the Pet Shop Boys, a legendary group comprised of gay men, and the singer of The Killers is also rumoured to be gay/bisexual, because its well known that a song by rufus wainwright about a man he met in Tulsa and slept with, is about him.Try to refrain from saying things like "not bad, even though the gay guys in it" sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with talent.

  • Um, why would that deter from the song's quality?

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • I like the song not the video so much the other two christmas songs they did for red where great and the videos were wicked but the video was missing the killers if they where in it for like a 30 sec thing that would have been better then nothing at all i kknow the new cd came out and there on tour they should at least had a photo of them, they added the vegas skyline in it a few times but it wasn't good enough i love the song not the video sorry mates still love u your my fav band of all times

  • love it, absolutely amazing!

  • this is the kind of song u do not make a video for..killers wut r u doing..i know ur mormom but damn this is ..wow

  • Ifff you see the fuck bich why she fuck you voooooool pervers dieses über geile zum abgeilen lied

  • I was kinda hoping for something funny like Dont Shoot Me Santa but its alright I guess

  • since i have wide variety, i really like this song. but yea, its different, this album was supposed to be "experimental".

  • it wasnt on the album

  • This is so beautiful! Joseph looks a bit like Ronnie.

  • it hurts ;/ this song sucks in so many ways ;/ the killers are great but this song is horrible ;/

  • beautiful song

  • i cannot say i do not like any thing involving the killers.

    but their other christmas songs are much better than this one. especially don't shoot me santaaa

    gah i love the killers so much it hurts

  • it could be about joseph smith,

    the Killers singer grew up mormon.

  • it's about joseph (like, mary and joseph)

  • Isn't this really Elton John featuring The Killers than the other way around? All I heard was 12 lines by Flowers, more or less.

  • Well considering the Killers are more than just Flowers it makes sense that is featuring Elton John instead of the other way around.

  • This is a beautiful song. This song goes where the "religious" minded people fear to go. The Bible was penned by people like this, inspired by The Almighty. ALL gifts come from God. What we choose to do with them is up to us...

  • There is no god. But the one that dies with me.

  • Joseph was in the most difficult possition of all. Should he believe in the one he loved or follow the many who did not believe. His choice was made to follow his true love and to follow the one whom all would love.

  • oh god this movie...

  • i knoww, how bad is it, lol.

  • That's a really sad and pitiful attitude. Too bad you don't keep your negative thoughts to yourself.

  • no, YOU suck ass.

    everyone hopes YOU die in a plane crash.

  • stop talking for everyone, your not everyone, your no-one.

  • I agree with williamfanyson, shut up about the killers, why are you watching this anyway?? you should get a life rebelskull18!

  • hopefully the divine spirit of christmas will touch you.

    you need it.

  • no, the ones of God. Jesus. The reasons Christmas even exist...does that ring a bell?

  • the killers <3

    ♫ most amazing music in the world :)

  • hoorah

  • This music, this band, is amazing.

  • sounds like elton john and the killers

  • Well seeing as Elton John is in this song ... that'd make sense.

  • Endlich mal wieder was von Elton John und The Killers sind auch cool.

  • every band does something out of the ordinary and i guess this is their case...BUT THE KILLERS HAVE, WILL AND ALWAYS ROCK for me i just dont care what brandon sings it always sounds good...great music gotta love them.

  • ...?? que?? no no no, que les paso?? esto es lo mejor que pueden hacer?? mal, demasiado... triste como ver que una de las mejores bandas indie cae tan tan tan bajo.... ojala y puedan recuperar ese nivel q tenian...

  • i think its great i especially like the drum solo by ronnie

  • awsome song

  • Look! this is called MUSIC ! if you are the one's who just like "HITS" listen radio though.

    If you cannot listen what it is been singing you don't know "shit" what their 'Day and Age" talks about.

  • is that Tom Jones?

  • PreppyJoheppi,

    It's called music. What happened to Mr. Brightside, etc.? its called a CD, put it in the player and hit repeat if that's all you want to hear. I happen to like originality. Why keep writing songs that sound the same?

  • i totally agree with you

    what were they thinking?

  • WTF seriously i love the Killers as much as the next guy, but what the FUCK is this SHIT

  • hahahahaha

  • I think it is absolutely excellent!! Another great tune from The Killers!

  • I think its good...Not as good as Don't Shoot Me Santa, but I think it'll grow on me more and more as all Killers songs do. I also love that there's some cool guitar and I think Brandon's singing is really good in this. Tis good, will get better with time.

  • I'm not seeing what I said to make you over react like this. I'll give you your own advice and say if you don't like something you can keep your thoughts to yourself and skip it.

  • wow the killers really made a mistake featuring elton john and neil in this.

  • This song is great, but "The Killer" can do better without elton john and Neil Tennant featured....

  • i wish it was just the Killers singing. so far the only single i've liked by them was "Don't Shoot Me Santa"

  • i think the killers should have just done it without neil and elton.

    lol

  • I agree!

  • i wish neil had a bigger part

  • The song is peformed bij the killers, Elton John and Neil Tennant

  • at 1:08 it sounds like Elton John starts singing.. wth?

  • its the killers featuring elton john and neil tennant

  • it's ok. but it would be 100 times better with just brandon singing. too much elton

  • agreed.

  • Wow

  • lol i dont get it :S

  • wow this videos was posted on my birtday :D i just love it

  • is it kinda killers' carol?

  • Bizarre. This sounds like the production and chord sequences on Elton John's album Songs From The West Coast.

    Really strange song. Not for the dancefloor lol.

  • Not sure what the rest of you are talking about, as it sounds like Elton John and that guy from The Pet shop boys singing!

  • Like the killers, love em but not particularly this song. Think it lacks some style, but good idea.

  • This is a beautiful attempt of the killers for a Christmas song. After all Jesus is the reason for the season. Trust in God like Joseph did and you get something beautiful like joseph did JESUS. HELLO! people were all fading away soon the king will soon come and I don't care im ready :-) praise be to him for his love. Better you than me! That you Joseph would have enough trust considering your circumstances in those times of your wife having a baby that you did not give. But you trusted GOD.LOVE

  • good video. Awesome song. Definitely Killers style.

  • Will somebody please give me a synopses of what the lyrics are saying? i have adhd and cant work it out.

  • love songº

  • Sounds good. Nice work!

  • Their new album is amazing. This song is awesome too. Sold out? They're old stuff was SO much more poppy than their new album, their new album is amazing

  • quit your whining, you sound like a little bitch

  • What the hell is your problem dude? Day and Age is The Killers becoming who they really are,realeasing their true musical talent. Do you seriously think that if the The Killers wanted to be a sell out band they would have made Sams Town? exactly

  • Well I do like to Leason, so sure I will leason away to Indie artists(especially Biffy Clyro- gosh I'm in love with them right now though I'm not really sure they're considered particularly Indie) However I think I'm gonna Listen to the Killers because I think that their new stuff is awesome. I think you may have just missed the entire point slightly. Either that or you reeeally hate the killers which would be silly of you because the have written some of the best songs of the past decade. =D

  • I agree with hoboindadumpsta.

    you sound like an idiot with your "omg only indie music for me!" if they suck so much, how do so many people like them, and respect their music?

    Maybe youre the one with the "horrible" taste in music?

  • I'm sorry for my ignorance but wtf is indie music? I mean all music is played with interments. All interments and played by people, all people that play the instruments and independent. So isn't all music indie?

  • ELTON JOHN FORSURE, WITH BONO (U2-SINGER)AND THERES THE LEAD SINGER FROM PLACEBO (what ever his name is) any one??.....BESIDES THAT, A VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG !!!!!

  • way off dinklage

  • dinklage???? WTF is that????...hummphh, original though.

  • is this The Killers ft. Elton John or is it John Elton ft. The Killers, cuz there's more Elton

  • three words.

    what the FCK?

  • probably been said - but needs more Brandon!

  • i love Brandon Flowers' voice in this <3

  • Ahh I thought it was really good :)

  • Wtf is this shit?

  • At first when i heard this song i thought "well its good, but i like the killers' other christmas songs wayy better"

    but the more i listen to it, i really really really love it.

    Its such a beautiful song, even if there isnt quite enough brandon singing ;)

  • Most of u fuckin idiots prolly dont even get the song, yet you feel compelled to comment. Maybe if it was a bit more "pop-y" u'd enjoy it. I feel like shitting on your faces.

  • lol. you are kidding. right? it could not be much more "pop-y" than this.

  • Have you heard soulja boy?

    Now thats pop.

  • soulja boy? what does soulja boy have to do with it? My butt farts better sounds than soulja boy.

  • OMG YOU HAS MUSICAL BUTT? LEEET : D

  • Haha "Throw some Ds on it!!"

  • You don't need to understand a song to enjoy it......

  • Your right i don't get the song partly cuz i can't hear it on my computer wats it about?

  • I don't get it.

  • the other new christmas song by them is much better, "a great big sled"
