elton john your song live piano cover

[wilsonissa]

play back dos pióres que já ví.

[sylvetka2]

hmmm interesting discussion - need to have a look at the rest of uploads here:)

[star7girl]

good work!!!

[TotalComposure]

Fools of course he's playing it, here those bass notes at 1:17 it's not a complex bass line so hence little movement

[wulf67]

@TotalComposure

It's not surprising that a person who can't distinguish "here" from "hear" might easily overlook the subtle visual clues being discussed...here.

[TotalComposure]

@wulf67 I can distinguish the difference, thank you. I was typing quickly. I can play it, he is playing it.

[youjeltrevo]

chrisel10, I have been amazed with your stuff for quite some time. I've come back several times to watch your videos. I'm curious. Do you have a favorite Elton live performance? My favs are probably his 60th BDay show in NY and also the Madison Square Garden live album.

[TiffanyRoseGold]

Lmao i like but i thought u was gona eat the micro phone lol back away some

[vascodegama1977]

to all the doubters .... and only a sync problem.

many youtube videos have the same probleme.

trust me ... I also play the piano.

chrisel and 'big

[wulf67]

@vascodegama1977

How does a "synch problem" account for the fact that the left hand is not striking keys (in or out of synch)?

[carvarelalos1]

Hey Chris, I believe it. I can tell you are playing. I'm learning piano myself and think your fantastic. Are you able to give me lessons?

[InternetMarketerUK]

All of the following is true:-

1) He's playing the piano. He IS playing the piano! All doubters can jog on - you're misguided.

2) YouTube has messed up the synchronisation between audio and visuals - from someone who's uploaded hundreds of vids to YT, I can tell you it happens a lot!

3) I wish I could play and sing like this guy!

[wulf67]

I don't know why you're pretending to be playing the piano, but those who have ever played one are not fooled by this. Look at your left hand. It's just sitting there. In this song, the left hand (whoever is really playing it) is playing octaves in a syncopated rythm. You can HEAR it, but you're not playing it. And also when someone plays a piano they keys go down...that's what makes the hammers hit the strings and the sound comes out.

[chrisel10]

@wulf67 check out my other version of your song on here, I play it live, no questions asked, your analysis, whilst interesting, is nonsense.

[xaqut3]

@wulf67 idiot you can see the sounds delayed by the Video recording. He is playing the piano.

[wulf67]

@xaqut3

A person throwing the term "idiot" around so loosely might ought to question how a video delay would account for the fact that he is not playing certain notes AT ALL.

[29erguru]

he definately is playing the piano! The problem being their is a slight delay in the image after the sound in the video making it look slightly funny. Anyway this is great nice one.

[EloiseeR]

anyone who understands how music/pianos work can tell he's playing the right keys, it's just the video

[spiritmeeting]

does anyone per chance have the sheet music for this beautiful piece?

[sommerwetter]

thanks :) that says all.

[dv8ter2007]

Great job man!! WTF are those people on who don't think you're playing live...?

I really like how you changed it to make it your own, with the piano arrangement and the vocals. Very very good.

[thebinkles2]

Wow you are amazing,I was wondering if you you could make a piano turial for that,all the others I didn't like,but I really like that piano music!PLEASE

[LaurenDuffyMusic]

i dont see how people can think you arent playing. its pretty obvious that you are.

[RymandTV]

he is playing the video makes it look like that.

[ruralrob228]

great performance as allways Chris and I know you only play LIVE !!

[Vaialinn]

so nice :)

[sparkers70]

Beautiful. I totally admire how much work you must have put into learning this. Gotta tell ya, nobody does it better except Elton himself.

Be proud!

[MsBrightsmile]

excellent piano!

[Jmmynvn]

Fucking fantastic!

[Panther434]

Absolutly amazing. I love this song and i know how hard it is to sing. Well done :)

xx

[undertakerbesteva]

hes playin for sure!! why the fuck would he fake it??? listen to his other songs!

[hannahsaurusrexus]

i love your voice =] *thumbs up* from me

[puffball9]

All of you who think he's not playing are fucking idiots i've seen all the fucking videos and its him.

[arauco4444]

maraco qliao noma

[amesedabom]

Are you seriously playing the piano!?

Cuz it don't look like it.....

[chrisel10]

I promise you one hundred percent I am playing the piano! I don't know how to prove it other then to say look at my other vids maybe?

[snoozingphil]

I'm glad i'm not the only one that noticed

[chrisel10]

I'll humour it once more! I am playing the piano live live live! I don't know wether it is the vie but look at the others if you want, I am playing it all live an I work hard on getting good at that so please just believe me when I say I am live and live only

[mortenkul]

Don't losten to them ! U are playing ofc ! The camera MAY be slower than what u realy played-But I didn't notice that.

Ur playing! and a good singer 2 :D

[wilmil7545]

the audio and video isn't synced 100%, so it doesn't look like it, but I'm sure he's playing the piano. =]

[TommmyMole]

Chiz darlin' - You're the real thing, alright. I do what you do, only you're better. You've got a fan. Find me on Youtube....look for TommmyMole. Contact me if you can. I've got Elton stories to swap as well as music.

[snoozingphil]

looking at this you aint playing the piano just miming but vocals are good

[chrisel10]

As above, I promise you 100% I am playing the piano, and I always play live! This is me absoloutley! Hope you believe me ! ! ! !

[amesedabom]

Oh well, then good job!

Haha.

[snoozingphil]

But when looking at your vid your left hand doesnt push any keys at quite a few points. If you played it and recorded it fine but from looking at the vid it doesnt look like you are but i still say you have a good vocal.

[wilmil7545]

don't listen to them. I KNOW you're playing the piano.  You've done a great job and you should be proud. =] I've been slowly learning how to play over the past few years and I've gotten ok, but it still takes me FOREVER to learn even a few measures of a song. How do you learn how to play each song? sheet music? improvising with the help of tabs? or just by ear?

[greenbelter123]

@chrisel10 i's just the video that makes them think you aren't plying. Good work buddy i beleive you as i've watched all your other covers. They are talking rubbish

[hot4music]

mmmm. this has gone to my favs :]

brillliant. simply brilliant.

<3

[benc5040]

Stunning! Just turn the vocals up a bit.

Brilliant!

[gisellepanda]

It's a very good surprise listening to your songs...you play just like Elton...very, very , very good!!

Congratulations from Brazil!!

[cotedurone]

c'est excellent dans l'émotion. merci

[nasheeyy21]
