  • Yes, nice job , sweet :)

  • It's a Beatles rip off song, but still, very nice

  • Sexxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyy........­..........

  • Robert Downey Jr. was so amazing in this video. I've always loved his work as an actor.

  • Hola Azucenita!!!!!!

    Quizás es esta la primera canción que te debería haber dedicado cuando ya venía de vuelta de haber conocido el Amor pero aún me faltaba que me enseñaras Tú lo que es el AMOR.

    Te quiere.....Tu aprendiz

  • if anyone can pull off what appears to be a 4 and a half minute continuous camera lipsynch shot it's Robert Downey Jr. what an amazingly gifted actor!!

  • You can find a man like the song every day, every time and in any place. They are the most common. But a man like a Downey, no!

  • mastershot :D well done!

  • I disagree with that terminology.

    The Master Shot is a wide angle still shot that takes in all of the movement in the room. Usually the shot in an opening scene or focused on an entire stage.

    The shot in this video, where as it moves with a single subject would be called a steady cam shot.

    The TV show SCRUBS used this method quite frequently and talked about it on their DVD extras.

  • @at90percent You are a douche and no one cares about the correct "terminology " of a shot. btw, since it was a single, continuous opening/master shot it indeed can be considered a "master shot" so go F yerself.

  • I'm sorry I made you cry yourself to sleep. Using those big vulgar words makes you such a man. I guess you are one who is ignorant of the correct terms for things and wants to remain ignorant. Fine with me. No loss on my part.

  • Love this song. Its really beautiful. Not really a fan of Eltons music in general. But this one is amazing.

    Also, Robert looks really 'buff' and fit in this video. His shirt is fitting him very well.

  • Its very interesting how they chose Robert for this video and JT for the other. Just how the actors could relate to the message of each respective song.

  • This can't be from 1986, it's much more recent... anyone know the year?

  • the video is from 2001 the song is from 1986 though

  • hopscotchbaker

    Was this song written in 1986? I know that sometimes they write songs earlier and release them much later. This song was on Songs from the West Coast which came out in 2001 also.

  • LOL is that really elton john wtf

  • no lol

  • The whole song in a single take. That's amazing. No splicing and dicing, one long take start to finish.

  • I love this video. Robert is an awesome actor and a cutie too!

  • This is so good.  RD Jr is a wonderful actor...

  • Me, I carry too much baggage.

  • They had to find a guy who snorted my coke than Elton.

  • Lol I don't think this is from 86 somehow :)

  • 2001

  • I have to agree with piggyhunter69... seriously, this video would have been all over the NEWS if there was just a hint that it was Tony Stark singing this and not RDJ

  • does anyone know in which building this video was filmed? thanks

  • I remember when this video came out...it was so touching to see RDJ sing this after everything he'd been through with his addictions.

    I'm so glad he made such a wonderful recovery and that he's doing so well!

    Elton is awesome, too, obviously. :-p

  • i looooove robert downey jr. -swoon-

  • It's strangely tragic and hopeful at the same time. I can so relate.

  • gr8 video 5 star

  • great

  • Me encanta la canción, Robert des hermoso :-)

  • This video would be so much cooler if he was in the Iron Man suit lol..great song and video tho

  • kien es rober y xk no sale elton???

  • es un actor muy conocido, que eligió Elton John para hacer este video!

  • Es un actor muy conocido que se llama Robert Downey Jr., sale en el video

  • หน้าหนาวฟังแล้วได้ใจจริงๆ 555+

  • me encanta esta cancion, el video y me encanta que actue robert.

  • so forgot how hot robert downey jr is in this video YUM....love the song too

  • why wasn't elton john shown in the video? don't get me wrong i love RDJ he is sexy but i am just curious.

  • Elton John truly hates videos, so he gets other people to do them instead. Watch the start of 'Tantrums and Tiaras' to listen to what he says about videos.

  • In an interview, Elton said that he just didn't want to do it himself. He might of said something about feeling to vunerable or something like that, it was a while ago I saw it, so I don't remember his exact reasons.

  • 2:30-2:55

    :3

  • The dude mining, was in prison when this was shot!

  • cool song

  • great song

  • He's got some eyes, that guy. Can't wait to see Sherlock Holmes. Good song by Elton. Not a fan really, but this one I like.

  • Ever since the Crap BBC made a program called "Yanks". ont TV. If you go to Bitch-land, Beware! You are not welcome. You just may kidnap their Bitch... BBC? Bitches Box of Crap.. Say so. Yankee go Home!!! Send us your dollars by post.

  • that makes no sense you dumb shit.

  • this is not copyright 1986 this is more like 2003

  • yeah i noticed that too...but i thought 2001?  either way not 1986

  • Yeah, you're right.

  • I want love too... ='( ich vermisse dir M.

    Julie

  • Peerless song

  • Even though he is just lip-synching this.. Robert Downey, Jr is a very good singer and amazing pianist in hiw own right. I love this song! Elton rules!!!

  • omg i remember this

    i was only 10 when i last listened to it

  • OMG! I want... ROBERT DOWNEY JR. This song is so amazing and it's so weird to hear Elton John's voice come out of Robert's mouth - he does it so incredibly convincing! Thanks.

  • Wow! So sexy!!!!!!

  • Robert Downy Jr. Is great actor and Elton did great job by choosing him

  • so strangely attractive

  • Hmm... does anyone know why Elton John wanted Robert Downey Jr. to lip-sync in this video? I mean the result turned out great, but I wonder why he chose to do that....

  • cus he obviously has good taste :P ;) haha!

  • i'm not for sure why Elton John chose Robert Downey Jr. but watching the video and the meaning of the song that i get from it, Robert has been through alot in his lifetime good and bad. now he is on top of the world. i think Elton John saw that in him and maybe he thought he would be a good image to show people how he feels in choosing the lifestyle that Elton John chose, with him being gay and all. but i love both of them and this video is what got me interested in RDJ acting

  • Downey looks incredibly sexy in this video... amazing song..

  • Robert downey jr is iron man,elton john is iron gay

  • It's realy Elton John?!?!?! I recognise his voice, but look? He was a handsome beast in 1986 - the true is... he still handsome beast xD ;] To bad from me he's much older than me - my year is 1989, he's 1947 (42 years difference) ;[

    Well I like old mans - well my favourite actor is sir Sean Connery (he always be MY James Bond), 79 years old - KEEP IT UP!!! :D, and my favourite singer (Elton is sacond on my list) is always be Michael Jackson (29.08.1958 25.06.2009 R.I.P *crying like a baby* ;()

  • LOL nahhh that's Robert Downey Jr (iron man, Chaplin, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) he's an amazing actor/ singer/ songwriter... not 2 mention te sex! the only reason why i'm watchin this video haha ;)

  • Elton John = legend

  • Robert Downey Jr.!!

  • OH YEEEEEE! (Y) ;)

  • Cool.

    EltonMcCartneyDOTcom

  • what happened to elton being in his videos?

  • woah. it's robert downey jr.

  • Well you say that he is a faggot !

    Then you should be shot by the very first man that is braver than you.

  • One of the greatest songwriters in history its hard to even aspire reaching a tenth of that level. If you have time, click on my name to check my channel and original songs, especially the songs called Soul of a Woman and In the Neighborhood (this one is slow so give it a full listen before judging), thx!!!

  • A man like me is dead in places other men feel libeated.

    Just <3

  • feel live already...

  • Robert Downey Jr. is completely gorgeous in this video! Wow.

  • robert downey jr is lush...

  • The video and the singer...I can't get enough of watching / listening to this one.

  • te amoooooooooooo robert

  • Como é o nome desse ator mesmo?

  • Robert Downey Jr. (Iron man)

  • a youtube video cloned ?!?

  • Aaaaay Robertito querido, te parto como un quesooooooooooo( it would be lost in translation people)

  • Just one shot!! Anyone noticed it?

  • HA3x..what is he doing here???! LOL

  • that guitar solo owns me

  • It does, doesn't it? I analyze too much, but watch his face at the very beginning of the video... he can't keep the emotion out when he mouths "impossible... a man like me, so irresponsible..." The guy is sooo full of talent and has been thru such hell!

  • when was that first time that song was made into a video??or when was it first on tv?

  • Cool video Elton and Rob very cool

  • Robert...*-*

  • I want love...ha..married too long me thinks

  • i want love on my own terms. i know what i want doesnt mean its not love. this song is about real loss. i suffered a horrible loss last year (husband died of cancer) and totally understand what hes singing about.

  • If you want love on your terms, you don't want love. Love is recipocal.

    Love give loves,

    Love doesn't take love, or steal it.

    That's lust! so be dead in places

    Love is everywhere in everything

  • This is true. Excellent comment!

  • Ha ha... you totally understand this.

    I looked this up 'cos the girl I love just told me indicated that she wants it all on her own terms, and that she can't reciprocate. Wow...

    This is a powerful song to learn from.

  • she wants to kiss you with another dudes "salt" on her lips. dump the skank...

  • That's the point in the lyrics. If you listen he goes on to say "no sweet romance, I've had enough" The whole song is about greed. The need to have someone love him and the need to be in control of the love that he recieves. He doesn't want mutuality. He wants to dominate in the relationship.

  • But I want love, just a different kind

    I want love, won't break me down

    Won't brick me up, won't fence me in

    I want a love, that don't mean a thing

    That's the love I want, I want love.........

  • man ..I luv that man..he is sooo perfect and cute and adorable..he's like everything :D

  • I can replay this over and over, just looking at his lips.

  • my dream since I was 10... is that sinful? :) simply THE man!

  • amazing song and video.

    wow! and how gorgeous is Robert Downy Jr. ? :) x

    Robert is great, an expressive action, great direction too.

  • Fantastic Song. WOuld love to know where this clip was done. I can only guess in a castle in England,probably Eltons, but that is too easy, so I will go out on a limb and say Italia.

  • It was actually filmed in Greystone Manor in Los Angeles, it's a popular site for movies =)

  • is it true that when this was filmed rdj was in rehab???

  • i think it was after.

    almost certain tbh

  • Yes I think he was let out for just one day to film this.

  • It was his first role after the jail. This dude is simply sweet. But complicated. Unpredictable. But I bvet that he can give you a lot of pleasure in life or sex. But it would want a firm nerves (from you).

  • This song speaks my heart out loud and clear.

  • good song and nice flat

  • hilarious.. that being said. i love rdj. so.

  • love=blow  lol

  • For Royal Mail

    And this is a very appropriate songs for him...if anyone has been bruised it would certainly be him.

    Beautiful, beautiful video, wow.

  • Had totally forgotten about this video, though I've LOVED this song... The video is great.

    You can definitely see a lifetime of pain in him. You still can, but wow, really powerful and beautiful.

  • Someone give IRON MAN some love.......lol

  • wasnt robert downey jr in a deep place in this video you can see his troubles are etched on his face!.......im sure i heard that they released him from rehab or a rehabilitation programme to this video then he had to go back in!........but i think you can really see there how his troubles had affected him......brilliant song from elton i loved it the frist time i heard it!......and brilliant video 1 take......amazing huh!

  • so beautiful!!! NO ONE CAN BEAT ELTON!!!!

  • Did Robert sing this? Or Elton John?

  • elton john
