His voice "cracks" to let people know that he's really singing this song and NOT lipsyncing like many, many artists are doing today. It's doubtful that you will ever heard and artist sing with his/her real voice when singing live!
I hope I'm not crucified for saying this, but everyone has their own opinion. There are a few songs that Elton needs to retire from playing live. This is most definitely one of them. I honestly felt he murdered this song vocally. There are at least two spots where he was just screaming completely off tune.
"He ain't got no distractions" at 3:25ish is absolutely dreadful. I love Elton but lately, I am in two minds about his singing -sometimes he can still pull it off but at others, like this one, he sounds like an old codger!
i was been standing in front of colyseum for seven hours before the concert...it was stressing...but only for this intro, i will remember the concert forever...this song foe rthe emperor elton's entrance has been fantastic...
Thanks so much for putting these back up man...they're great, love the modern version elton does! Love it when people in the music industry do that and change it up a bit and improvise, it's just great! But Elton's the best and we wouldn't have these videos if it wasn't for you baganben, thanks alot, just don't get suspended! :P lol
Sounds like he swallowed a fly or something. Dealt with it professionally. These things happen especially outdoors

when does his voice crack?
soaringquail2 2 years ago
At about 3:26. It's very slight, nothing bad really.

The "voice crack" at 3:26 is so minor I can't believe anyone is dwelling on it. It's live music people. Shit happens!!

I love this version. so what if it's not his best like u all say? I still think it's fantastic and i'm glad he's still performing.

Not the best performance in the world, however incredible considering he's 60 odd now. No lip syncing either so credit were credit is due.

To be fair his voice did crack and this isn't one of his best performances of it, but to retire it from his set? No way!

He's still great though.

Yep, he's just as well to take this one down a tone, cus he really struggles when it goes up another tone into G at the end as well...not good really
