  • Elton once said this version is his favorite even better than he did. That's all about it.

  • Bon Jovie should not have tried to cover EJ's song. Disgraceful performance....I love Bon Jovi's songs but this one I do not

  • This is a better version of the song because it came out of a mouth that didn't have cocks in it.

  • @Smackdaddy9 wow real weak comment dude, seriously? Just cause Elton John's gay doesnt mean he has awful music... Seriously I'm going to see Elton in April for the second time and he is probably twice the musician you will ever be... Real awful...

  • Was this the whole of Bon jovi peforming or just Jon with different musicians??

  • he sings this song with so many passion and whauw what an awesome voice..... it makes me speechless

  • amoamoamoamo essa musica...

  • Its sounds like Joey from Bounce Album !!!

  • Elton and john work really well together, check out Jon's 1st solo album

  • JOEY???

  • it's kinda like Joey, Jon's amazing

  • SUCKS NOONE CAN COVER ELTON

  • uno de los mejores temas obviamente para los que conocemos la banda de hace bastante tiempo

  • Lovely!! I know Jon would not like that, but it was! Do Tiny Dancer!! But make no mistake, please keep doing what you do best! YOUR SONGS, BON JOVI.

  • didnt even know this was an elton song, now i respect him even more, thanks to jon

  • ..and this is where "Joey " was inspired from.. ;-)

  • @XGBJM That's exactly what I thought, when I heard "Joey" for the first time. ;-)

  • Billy Klippert's version of this song is the best I've EVER heard. Check it out!

  • acabo de subirla subtitulada para quienes quieran verla! saludos!

  • good song. Brings back memories!!

  • Oh my... So awsum

  • "..Alvin Tostig has a son today.." LOL. Elton's version is still better, but this tribute is good too. (Jon has said this is his favorite song of all time).

  • is it just me or is this "inspiration" to Joey on the bounce album?!

  • my name is levon :~D

  • I'm gonna be honest I like the original better, don't get me wrong this version is good I just prefer the original.

  • Elton himself said Jon sings this better

  • jon y elton dos grandes haciendo un gran tema!!!!!!!

  • As good as Elton's version is, Jon was born to sing this one. Incredible...

  • YDOESJESUSLOVEJERSY?

  • Totally rocks !!!! Nuff said !

  • BETTER IN MY OPINION FROM THE ORIGINAL.

  • HE IS ONE OF THE MUSIC MONSTERS....EVERYTHING HE TAKE IS A HIT....

  • BON JOVI´S song "Joey" from album BOUNCE is STRONG inspirated with this song.... :-O

  • My name is Levon. No joke....

  • Good cover. Anyone know who is playing the piano? Is it David Bryan, or is it someone entirely different, since it seems to me people often don't pay attention to when something says BJ or JBJ. He did this seemingly solo, so he may have different backup.

  • @amoreena80 A listing for the album on artistdirect gives a credit to David Bryan for "Keyboards." it doesn't say which song it's for, but I think it's likely this one. :))

  • @AdiaDreams ah thanks!

  • There are only two Elton covers that I like better than his. This one and Tina Turner performing "Bitch is Back"

  • naming my son levon

  • way better than eltons!!!and he likes women lol!!!

  • pretty good cover. anyone know if the new york times actually ever said god was dead?

  • Omg this is GREAT!!!! I think Jon does it better than Elton. Damn Jon can sing anything. I love this man.

  • Better looking than Elton though - yummy! lol

  • I thnk better than Elton on this

  • Pretty good. I still like the original though.

  • bon jovi played this at count basie in N.J at their christmas charty shows back in 1991. 

  • reminds me of bon jovi's song joey

  • One of my all time favourite covers... This album is so AWESOME!

  • crap.

  • holy shit this is horrible. this is a huge disgrace to elton and bernie. i thought it was just subpar and then he hit the chorus... wow that was bad..

  • was written about levon helm

  • David Bryan, the keyboard player kicks ASS in this!!

  • i Love BONJOVI's version..

  • I though it was better then the original and Levon by Elton is one of my Favorite songs!

  • I LOVE Elton. And this... is good..

    I appreciate

  • Levon is an all-timer, and I'm usually partial when it comes to remakes...

    But JonBon nails this..! You can tell he honors the integrity of the song's soul by keeping it intact.

    A fitting homage, to be sure.

    A

  • BonJovi can sing anything and have it sound Amazing!

  • the tribute album "Two Rooms", celebrating the songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin, knew what they were doing when , out of all the musicians in the world, they wanted Jon Bon Jovi to sing Levon - Jon has great character - he could have recorded covers and made them all great - but that would have been making a buck off of the back of someone else...

  • chorus is awesome.....rest of the song is ok. def not passable as a bon jovi song but he did it justice.

  • bon jovi is amazing but this cover is bad

  • Every once in a while, I hear a song that I wish I had written. The first time I heard Levon, I knew it was one of those songs

  • great cover, did justice and had that "Bon Jovi" feel. Very nice

  • this > than the original by Elton

  • Great song..una de mis favoritas de los 90´s

  • Good version.

  • It supposedly was named in honor of Levon Helms of The Band fame, so I don't think it was ever Demon.

  • This is fucking retarded it was always called levon (after levon helms) cuz elton john and the man who wrote the lyrics, Bernie Taupin, were big fans of the band

  • Jon did a very good interpretation of this. I rather have an artist do it the same way or just do it totally different. He didn't butcher this at all.

  • Both are good to me :D

    I love this version though, since I'm a HUGE Bon Jovi fan ^^

  • i like elton's version better.

  • not good

  • excuse me but, do you have ears? How can you possible think this is not good? I just have to ask because this IS good, VERY good

  • im just saying no one is able to sing like elton john

  • Well, I think that no one is able to sing like Jon Bon Jovi

  • Please elaborate, cause Jon sang his ass off in this song.

  • ok well I respect your opinion.

  • Philip The Fair ki ki ki ki ki jai!. Listen to Michael Tsarion on the youtube. He is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well.

  • Usually EJ is the best ever but to honest I prefer this version. More effort more soul :D

  • Amazing!!!!

  • Definitely better than the original.  Jon's voice is second to none.

  • No way!!!

    Jon Bon Jovi is better in this cover.

  • Hell yeah Jon, this is my favorite song too.

  • Really this has nothing to do about micheal jackson ok we all know he died im sorry alot of people miss him he was a good musician in some eyes. But really

  • I remember this song from the 1990's...

  • ..its from the 70's though...:|

  • its ok....but nobody's better than elton john

  • How 'bout props for Bernie Taupin? Killer lyrics he wrote here...

  • elton john is better :)

    R.I.P MJ!

  • Think Bon Jovi's version is better than the original by Elton Jonh... Beautifully written by Elton John, but performed better by Bon Jovi...

  • Jon Bon Jovi Rock! He is so good, he singing so good!!! Love Him <3

  • only looked this up as got that album, its cool to hear a big band cover one of the little known songs....

  • Jesus, awesome job! Thumbs up! Bon Jovi is the best damn thing I know in the music world!!

  • Everyone on this site that keeps posting JBJ is not a good musician need to get the facts straight he is one of the few bands that can still pack them in, better than the new up and comers....that is not a fan saying that, those are the facts guys!

  • Levon is my favorite Elton song and Bon Jovi does an absolute brilliant job on it. I believe on that its his favorite Elton song as well.

  • Jon i know Elton was smiling after he heard u sing this cover song great vocals....

  • lol why's it matter what he looks like??

    just look at elton's goofy ass, he can still sing this better than bon jovi and looks goofy as hell

    oh well, it don't matter, bon jovi does a damn good job with this song, that's all that matters

    looks aint shit

  • bon Jovi looks dam good for his age! im sure he has no poblems with the ladys , he has spunk

  • Bon Jovi attracted young girls and guys are jealous. Fuck them. THis was was a pretty good cover. Bon Jovi was a good musician, too bad his looks and style never let him prove that.

  • I totally agree. As a heterosexual male, I love Bon Jovi, I couldn't care what Jon looks like, he's awesome, and so are Richie, David, and Tico

  • totally agree with you but feel free to talk in present! this is pretty good cover, bon jovi is good musician and so on =)))

  • u suc

  • Who the hell are you to judge music? Maybe you don't like him, that's fine, but there are some people like myself that love pretty much everything Bon Jovi/Jon Bon Jovi records.

  • you are crap for talking shit like this

  • Wow this is actually... really good!

  • jon bon jovi says Elton was like a hero to him

  • Sir. Elton should be very happy the John and his band did not" SLAUGHTER" this great song like most bands do with covers!

  • Keep telling yourself that....

  • As usual, an AMAZING performance by an AMAZING man!

  • JBJ hit the nail square on the head

  • This is Bon Jovi's favorite song of all time.

  • no wonder, this could have been written for him

  • as a general rule Bon Jovi sucks like a Hoover. tjhis however rocks.

  • lol

    at least u give credit where it's due!

    not sme other people that just bash it

  • ALMOST AS GOOD AS ELTON ! Bon Jovi rocks!

  • VERY NICE!!

  • some of the new songs from the 2000's till the present remind me of the old jovi... which i simply adore

  • it's got style...but not as good as the original...

  • great track, great cd

  • I like it.

  • me too

  • Dave Bryan ( Bon Jovi keyboards) is excellent on piano as usual in this song. Jon sings it perfect! Bon Jovi (the band) was on stage with elton and Dave played keyboards side by side with Elton. What a show! Just Excellent. It is a shame (in a way)that this album profits were all dedicated and it must be that playing the music is somehow forbidden because you never hear any of the music from this album on the radio.

  • great song. love bon jovi and jbj. and elton is awesome.

  • Great song, regardless of who sings it like jamestriker66 said. As far as people's sexual preferences, why in the world would that matter when it comes to music? They're not singing about it for crying out loud. Look at the bright side and the great music they create for our enjoyment.

  • that`s so sad.. Elton Johns original piece sounds so much better than this...

  • great song no matter who singing it. !!!

  • Now, that's no way to think. A terrible singer can ruin any song, no matter how good the song.

  • this is awesome! heard it today on the radio at a restaurant! New it was Jon.. Sounds better than Elton! BJ Forever!

  • not even close to sounding like elton. come on elton is so talented it isnt funny...

  • it's not supposed to sound like Elton it's supposed to sound like Jon Bon Jovi

  • @Lisa2068 Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Jordan Maxwell, Leo Zagami and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. Alexandre Dumas pere wrote over 400 historical novels exposing world tyranny(Roman Catholic Empire). The Society of Gesu(Jesuits) have been expelled from 83 countries and their pope is ARAMIS AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THEJESUITS). JESUITS HAVE BEEN EXPELLED FROM 83 COUNTRIES.

  • @augustmaquet fair enough...

  • bonjoviiii - somebody said you were homophobic yourself - is this true ?

  • no fuck u. who cares if elton john is a homo elton john rocks so suck it pussy

  • well i am one of the biggest fan of bon jovi ..i tell u that ...but..u shouldn't say that about elton...it doesn't matter he;s gay ...and u should respect other peoples choises in music ...take care:D

  • Bonjoviiii, did you know that Elton John isn't actually inbred?

  • I have a lot of respect for Bon Jovi but he didn't make this his own. It's just 'another cover' of a classic song. As the original writer, Eltons version has much more feeling and is more believable. Even the back strings arrangement is the same as the original. Those who like David Bryan, sorry it doesn't come anywhere near the passion of Eltons playing.

  • u know wat bon jovi is the best singer ever so if u want to talk crap bout him then talk to me my mom works with his cousins and he sends us letters and i go to his concert like in las vegas next month so com on elton sucks so

  • ur an idiot. your hero is covering this song and you know why?? cause Elton was one of his heroes.

  • sarah shut up 78special was not talking crap about bonjovi he was just saying so stop trying to act like you know wat your talking about I bet you dont even know who elton is stupid 12 year old

  • Love this version! WTG JGH, David Bryan and Elton!

  • pretty sweet!!

  • David Bryan is the reason why this version is so much better. He is a much better pianist than Elton John. Sry Elton lovers

  • Dude, and Billy Ray Cryus is a much better singer than Elvis Presley.

  • I could be wrong but I don't think that was Dave playing. I thought it was Jon solo.

  • Very very few people could pull this song off with class. Bon Jovi did. Extremely well done....

  • ou avez vous trouvez ces chansons,jamais entendu avant!!

    merci de nous les faire connaitre :-)

  • OMG!!!!AWESOME!!!!!

  • this is awesome .
