i love his interpretation of the chorus...gives me chills every time i listen...check out elton's 1971 live performance...its roughly four minutes long and unbelievable
Both are fantastic artists- I prefer this version to Elton's recent versions. Great homage by Ben Folds, I liked the variation in dynamics a little more even than the original. The perfect version would be this piano part with Elton's 1971 vocals.
so. freaking. fantastic.

love it. heard it on the radio the other day and i was just hooked. didn't know this was an Elton John song before.

Overall Elton is a much better artist, as well as a better singer. But there's no question that Ben Folds' piano gives this song so much more life.

Elton didn't write any of his lyrics, that's why I prefer Folds.

ben folds has cooler glasses than elton john, therefore ben's rendition is better.

Judging on this?
Because
Elton sings it better, plays it better and it's Elton's song aswell....
He's a little whiny for me, Especially in his Covers, like Video Killed The Radio Star
