[015kriz]

[gamingismyPORN]

like this if you listen to this kind of music because your rents do!



[trumpeter93]

@gamingismyPORN I listen to it because I like it...

[ozarkcacti]

Hey all you haters. Why are you even checking out this Elton song? Just to bitch? Bet your sitting home alone tonight huh?

[suelenbelizio05]

Bennie and the jats ♥

[danonii21]

I LOVE ELTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON ♥ HE IS BEST.

[MisterCrolla]

I think I prefer this version of the song rather than the 70s version where he uses falsetto... this one sounds more 'Elton' as I know him.

[buddy12602]

Lets get rid of this straight/different, crap, This man is great, he has sung the best music in the last decade along with Bernie, I had his first album in grade school and saw him perform here in Tall. Fl last year, his concert was the best ever, and by the way, I have been married for 27 yrs, but I love my Elton John, and always will.

[ChocoMiIk]

First gay man ever to be knighted? I think so.

[RJA10001]

you dont know how much i hate this version of this song. I love all his songs but this version of bennie and the jets. he doesn't do it right and its just not the same.

[Itzzzelrivera]

@RJA10001 Of Course It's Not The Same, This Version Its Perfect!! Elton John Is A Genius :) ♥ !!!

[RJA10001]

@Itzzzelrivera ok. after pondering for a while and playing it a little swingy i guess I like this version.

[ramirezmolirr]

:)

[TDbeasts123]

4:50 dang dude this guy's G.



[Itzzzelrivera]

@TDbeasts123 So What If Elton's Gay?? He Still Is The Best Pianist On EARTH!!

I♥Elton

[TDbeasts123]

@Itzzzelrivera nooo not G as in Gay... G as in Gangsta which means good not gay Elton's a BEAST!

[Itzzzelrivera]

@TDbeasts123 Well Now I Feel Stupid :l

Sorry Dude, I Tought Wrong !

[TDbeasts123]

@Itzzzelrivera hahahaha its ok



[PCHDX]

One women standing up dancing while the others sit and judge. That's concerts with seating for you.

[port753]

who needs a high voice like justin bieber to sing this? even w/ elton's deeper voice makes it more kickass

[Tremblay343]

I like the soul train performance better. His range in that performance is craaaazy. Always a treat to listen to though.

[TheSexyluke123]

2:21 eargasm :)

[icyyyyyy1]

He is playing in my city tonight Can't wait!!!!!WOOHOO

[conchprincess]

LOL LUV IT

[OmegaLara685]

Grab the audio from this vid at speedyconversion doht cohm.

[cherzsmileyy]

fucking legend

[94jbmx]

i hate when artist change threre songs from the original i still love the song i just like it better when it came out

[HisNameIsTim]

@94jbmx I think he may have changed it more due to the fact that he can no longer hit those insanely high notes with an aging voice.

[bahiano23ful]

viadão !!!!!!!!!!

[apocolypticchrist]

John Paul Jones Elton John get on your pianos and just freakin jam

together

[divinegod102]

This guy just gets better as he gets older.

[mcwaltertube]

Elton was so much better when he was on drugs.

[ajoeysimison]

Haley gives this old song new life, Her concert performances of this song are outstanding. thanks Elton and Haley this song puts me in a good mood.

[XxXxChunkyPandaxXxX]

I love you saylor this songs for you

[piegazer]

i bow to you sir elton john......

[MrGluey666]

love this song, that is after Tiny Dancer : )

[MrGsMrsCC]

Now this is how this song should sound not what Haley Reinhart performed on American Idol....she lost the enthusiasm of the song completely. Sorry Haley this one isn't one you can make yours

[Veloce313]

WOW!!!!!! ELTON JOHN CAN PLAY!!!!!!

[BPankoski]

I wanna red piano too!!!

[jediah556]

i really think that Haley Reinhart did a better job than Sir Elton John, but only because Haley Reinhart has a very powerful voice.

[mrflyingmonkeys1]

@jediah556 hell no she didnt.... Sir Elton John is the bomb when it comes to music... No girl can beat Elton John singing his own song

[mrflyingmonkeys1]

@jediah556 hell no she didnt.... Sir Elton John is the bomb when it comes to music... Nobody can beat Elton John singing his own song

[TheKyleBeasley]

I can play piano, but this man is by FAR a better musician then me. LONG LIVE ELTON JOHN!!!!!! :)

[misscarly12]

he's the reason why i got to learn piano even its toooo late for me to learn. This dude got it all. One of the best musician that ever lived!

[Josh69885]

this dude might be gay but he is a true artist and he straight up feels the music.

[JulianaLuchici]

amazing talent!

[gamendoza21]

During my spring break I heard it at least 3 times on the radio and at the mall. And boy I was the only one dancing/singing to every beat/lyrics. What a great jam Elton John!

[johnseverus1]

jeez lay off they are both brilliant.

[lizizmorefun]

The Mozart of our generation! How fortunate we are to experience his genius!!!

[mexican2010usa]

me gusta la melodia de esta cancion

[cimore000]

hes wearing some mad clothes right there

[kristinhusfelt]

he sexy!!

[brennanmh]

@neish45 what is up with your "nobody cares" comment? This is probably some of the greatest pop piano ever. And I'll give you Billy Joel, even. Step up, not down. But this is so awesome, got me playing at around 10yo. So good.

[KawanaTatiana]

There Is Always At Least One Person Who Just Doesn't Apprieciate Good Music So They Had To Dislike!

[MrScoonyG]

this guy is stylistic as hell... just incredible licks w/ vocal and piano combined ; ))))))

[tucansamxbloodx]

old mans still got it.

[ruckerkid155]

garuto if you ever get in the league of a ELTON JOHN you be in a league by yourself cause elton is the man

[Raffyrock88]

Best version of this song EVER!

ELTON IS A PIANO LEGEND!

[mdtowns]

Elton John is the most fantastic musician!! I got to see this concert in Vegas and it is something I will never forget as long as I live. Thank you Sir Elton John.

[LSchauArt1234]

@neish45.... If only people like you would stop talking without facts... we wouldn't have so much negativity. Give credit when its due. Elton humbly admits to not writing his own lyrics and credits Bernie Taupin every chance he gets. SECONDLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY... Elton does write ALL the melodies and background music to all his songs. Its called collaboration and the result is magic. Don't be so narrow minded and recognize his level of talent.

[neish45]

@LSchauArt1234 ok douchebag. i never said he did;nt do anything all i said was he did'nt write the lyrics to his onw song. so next time you can pull your head out of your ass, stop bein so sensitive and actually analyze what the fuck i said. and he's still not better than Billy Joel who actually,get this, wrote his own lyrics.

[LSchauArt1234]

@neish45 that would be the response of someone who got put in his place and feels probably just as small as his knowledge of music. No one is being sensitive, just educating the ignorant. That's all.

I already knew Billy Joel wrote all his own lyrics and music. He is an amazing musician, one of my biggest idols. You need the music history lesson not me. I love Billy Joel and Elton just the same. They are my two favorite performers.

[tysittinonacloud]

@neish45  better than billy joel but its ok nobody cares...maybe you..your loss

[mocus1]

every time, he's more amazing than the last !!

[martind586]

i love elton john,,but how can we can him the best piano player..

Im sure there are some real tricky sheet music out there he may not be able to play

He is a LEGEND - WIth many many GREAT Songs!

[weeman222222222]

Hes gay so what Im not gay but you know whatever he is still one of the most talented piano players the world has ever seen and if you cant accept that go to hell I mean listen to him play my god Billy Joel and Elton John were blessed with piano talents people only dream of

[potatoelover95]

faggot cock sucking ass hole, you all are faggot dumb asses

[gurraglad]

@potatoelover95 wow, what a great addition you are to this world. here's a razor.

[maczouve]

@potatoelover95 so is your mother...

[btowndawgz2]

@potatoelover95 wtf is wrong with you. just enjoy his music i'm so sick of ppl sayin how he's gay. there's no reason for you to it's not like he's gonna read your comment and say "oh well i have to stop being gay". he's the best pianist ever, and he happens to be gay. deal with it

[ColdBlooded97]

@potatoelover95 FUck you man theres nothin wrong eith being gay, I bet your stayin in the closet so your makin fun of other gay poeple to make you feel better

[dwillv]

@potatoelover95 elton john may be gay. but you're a fucking queer.

[zthetha]

My favourite Elton song. Played most of the clips of it - Central Park was a great gig - wish I'd been there. Can't help wondering what it must feel like to shake such fabulous music out of your sleeves and to see it have such a profound effect on an audience. Wonder who he was in a previous life to be so great in this one... Mozart?

[ido8]

- I like seeing how the artist improvises on the original solo, which then makes me depressed that I worked so hard to learn the original solo and here he comes and within a second he improvises something far more complicated and amazing.

[ido8]

@tatnell1 actually, the original piano solo is really simple and it took me less than a day to learn it. What he does here is improvisation, something many musicians like to do and the solos are the parts where they are most free to do it, and boy Elton John goes wild when he improvises. That's why I really like watching live vids of songs with solos

[forevershining1]

ahh love this song

[dannyg120]

At 2:36, if you listen hard, you can hear a guy say "sit the hell down!". LOL

[Schwarzwind]

The extra piano makes this performance stand out, freaking brilliant.

[bigmik172]

i fux wit this song heavy

[roaringwaterbay]

the jets are groovin.

[sda1225]

ELTON ROCKS-PERIOD

[eltmatt]

this IS better than the original, dosnt just play the same chords on the beat, messes around with it, has fun, good playing

[IRISHMOBSTER55]

umm no i'm 18 why you being a hard ass this is good and i have heard the orginal i own the greatest hits album

[dinobaldi]

What a great Piano man!!!

I like this one more than Original one.

GREAT!!

[IRISHMOBSTER55]

idk i think this sounds better than the origanal

[schurkdad1]

what are you ten you never heard the origanal cuz this sucks

[van1976]

I just posted "Yellow Brick Road"--Elton Jonh tribute band --doing this song. Realy good. Check it out--you'll like. Plus it was done for "Elton" Aids benefit.

[kayleelaughs]

this song is hard on piano!props to ya Elton!

[SysAdminJames2]

best music ever....amazing preformance...im 17 and i listen to elton john...all the time! Your gonna like his music...i guarentee it!

[ThePreston1234]

this is elton at his best still the best pianist ever wow

[neish45]

@ThePreston1234 no billy joel is better

[dwillv]

@neish45 how dare you...

[neish45]

@dwillv what are you talkin about. elton john cant even write his own songs.

[KawanaTatiana]

@neish45 I Normally Don't Call People Stupid, But That Was A Ignorant Comment. #ImJustSayin

[RJA10001]

@ThePreston1234 his best was more like in the 70's or 80's when he had the high range octaves. and way to make me feel bad. I was hoping to become the best.

[TinglyCopperSoap]

epic.

[garuto101]

This guy is THE GREATEST PIANO PLAYER ON EARTH! even me at my 14 years of age can tell that. I can already play Rocket Man and am told that it sounds alot like elton johns version when I sing along with it so i am going to give this song a try. BANZAI ELTON JOHN!

[vincentrich]

@garuto101

lol @ a14 year old Elton John fan. That's hilarious. You could certainly be listening to worse things though.

[cubehead978]

@garuto101 same! and i'm 12!!

[blaker5923]

@garuto101 Im 14 too and i love his music!!!!

[epitaph664]

@garuto101 Billy joel is better musicially imo

[lifeimpromptu]

@garuto101 Sorry bro but that title is and will forever be reserved for Franz Liszt.

[sj0bs1]

@lifeimpromptu Agreed, besides, what do you expect from a 14yr old.

[katynotperry6]

@lifeimpromptu i believe that frederic chopin deserves the title of best musician eva!!1

[FelipeFECTM]

@katynotperry6 Cmon, dont compare. Chopin is Chopin. Elton is pure happines.

[singinginto2011]

@katynotperry6 Or Bach, or Handel, or Mozart ;)

[mrbreezeet1]

@garuto101

Hey Did you ever learn Benny and the jets?

I'd love to be able to play it, but think it's out of my league I like how he does Pinball wizard in the Tommy movie too.

Up load some of your music you are playing on piano. I like to hear you.

[mrbreezeet1]

Yeah, he really "went off" on the lead in the end, and the one before it.

Way better than the record, and way better than the soul train version, (1975) Although that was a pretty cool performance too.

[MultiMonkeyHead]

@garuto101 I'm 14 too, I'm so glad there are still people of our age who like this kind of music :) I'm starting piano next year :D

[sccrqween1295]

i think that i liked the original better. we he got older he added stuff to the song

[PIELOVER375]

does anyone know what piano he's playing on?

[eirilllol]

its a yamaha :) they are more of jazz piano :) i have the piano in black, (not so big, but smaller piano, you know) dont know what it is in english :P

[garuto101]

WOW! your really lucky I really wish that my dad had bought me a Yamaha grand piano but instead i got a steinway grand..... nagh theres nothing wrong with it, its just it was built to play clasical music whereas most of the songs I learn on Piano are Jazz types e.g Bennie and the Jets, Tiny Dancer, Virtual Insanity and a few billy joel hits

[andrea92p]

yamaha

[jakers11]

yamaha, elton john red piano. you can buy it if you have $120000 or more

[kyledw92]

Greatest pianist ever born, i idolise him, ive got his cds and nearly all of his sheetmusic.

[AsatorTOX]

elton john is awesome

[LostSoul151]

Up to the 39 second mark, the bass is not played the same way it usually is.

[tatnell1]

He can't do the Benny/Jets piano solo (about half way thru song) like he did it originally for years. Age/short fingers/etc. There is no greater piano solo than that one. Saw him on R&R Hawaii from Nam in 71.Could still do same piano solo then.

[burnlazy]

i was at this show... it was great.... HARMDILL1 is an idiot

[HARMDILL1]

I saw him in Vegas April 18. 2009 and he only had 3 shows left and to tell you the truth I was disapointed. His concerts a much better. But I still love him!!

[lennonador]

he plays the best piano fills in spots where you couldnt even imagine there is room for a fill, how do you get that good? he makes his piano sing with him

[JacktheladEngland]

You can imagine the room for the fills, it's just not many people can take them from their head to the piano

[undertakerbesteva]

i love this song!! its sounds amazing in this concert!

[zakuma22]

Eventhough he is old, he stills being as good as always!

[FunkySoxGirl]

this is my fave elton john song

its SO awesome

ive noticed all the gay people r very talented like ellen degeneres

[AsatorTOX]

he's bi not gay...at least thats what he said

[buffyobsessed807]

i love this song!

[garuto101]

hes not gay hes BI but it doesnt matter. I hate people who dont like elton john just because hes gay, hes an amazing musician

[mycah808]

I don't care that he's gay the man is so talented who gives a shit that he's gay.

[garuto101]

good to know. Alot of my school friends dont like him because hes gay but he is just so talented and the fact that hes gay doesnt change anything

[zoomrightin]

I agree, why does affect people that hes gay! Whats the problem?! I don't know why people can't just appreciate good music. A lot of people from my school hate EJ just because he's gay! Being gay has nothing to do with it! His music is amazing. He is just fantastic. GREAT PIANIST!!

[lou7ohdiosas]

esta canción es taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan WOW! amo esta canción y amo a Elton aunque no lo podré ver en México :(

[zombz1]
