  • so. freaking. fantastic.

  • that is an amazeing cover

  • Does he keep time with his left foot?

  • jett prescott has some sick elton covers too

  • he's definitely the man, this cover is so sick

  • Lay me down in sheets of linen you had a busy day today.

  • One of my favorite songs + Ben Fold's = Perfection. This is beautiful.

  • 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.

  • @ABloodyCondom you mean he USED TO BE a much better singer. he kinda sucks now.

  • 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

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

  • i like this one better, best cover ever

  • Ben folds is the only reason i listen to this song. = /

  • 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.

  • @goatpunch I love Ben's voice.

  • eltons 10000 times better

  • @sxpach1 It's not 10,000 times better; maybe twice as good.

  • Dynamics are great. I love this performance

  • lol i just posted an acoustic versh of this CHECK IT!

  • this is so hard. seroisly

  • KICK ass song... LOVE it!!

  • love this song... you ROCK!!

  • Wow!!

  • Hahaha the mannerisms are dead on! Go Ben!

  • ben folds is amazing. <2

  • ben is a genius

  • 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

  • thx for this! thx for the able embed! 5 stars! your rad!

  • Ben does a great job. I actually sing along with this cover in the car.

  • Is there a full version of this?

  • It's on the "Ben Folds Live" CD. It's also on the DVD that came with the limited edition package.

  • I loved the trademark EJ open mouth leer. Where can I pick up some glasses like that?

  • lol.

  • @elton1111 Umm....the dollar...store mate...haha...
