Very good job by Elton John; great emotion and passion. But how freakin cool is it to see Mr. John Deacon on bass. John Deacon.....where are you? Thank you for the music.
This is amazing performance, but for me it's ad - reminds me of John Deacon; this was his last performace, now he's retired. This is actually very last TRUE Queen live performance without Freddie: Brian, Roger and John. Song "Only The Good Die Young" was recorded later in studio with Deacon. I miss Freddie, and I miss Deacy. I miss old music times......Elton did wonderful job here
Um grande momento...na história da música pop! Elton John, uma das melhores vozes de todos os tempos, interpretando um tema épico, que imortaliza ainda mais o grande e imortal...FREDDIE MERCURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this is an honest rendition of this song. Elton John does his best with the vocal range he has (the key was stepped down to fit him), and the members of Queen sound great... last live performance with John Deacon - who would record "No One But You" with them a year later and then retire
Elton might not be able to have the voice of Freddy but the way he sings this song with the kind of passion that he does makes it great in its own way.
is no question that Elton John is good but is nothing compared to Freddy Mercury ... know that his version of this video ... the song is well below the original two tones .. whatever they are both exceptional.
It's unfortunate that John Deacon doesn't play any more. Obviously like wise with the passing of Freddie Mercury. Though i don't mind the current Queen (+ paul rogers) line up, nothing is like the original but Elton John was a great Choice to perform this song. He is the only one i think that can come close to singing this song the way it was meant to be played.
Queens Finale Song is jus ta s great as their fitst hit...I will always love this version wtih elton..fantastic.....I regret Freddy was too sick tro sign this one live before he died...RIP F Mercury!
If you are a not beliver it feels like a ligthing hits your heart,and it hurts,and then you get smaller and smaller inside you until you disapear.
BUT if you die as a beliver God takes you out of the body alive.
First of all you hear some real cool music and then your feet begyns to dance,and they rises out of your body and then this incredible RUSH starts i your hole body,it bruses in your ears,and you scream COME ON,LETS GO.
I often use to listen to this version before listening to the 'Innuendo' album one. It somehow gives me a measure of Freddie's greatness... even compared to someone undoubtedly worthy like Elton John.
As others have pointed out, no one could ever sound like Freddie or ever come close. Despite that, I love this rendition by Sir Elton. His voice and the stage perforance kind of gives it a kind of gritty Caberet feel to it, don't you think? Very Awsome.
Sir Elton John delivers this melody with all the intensity and love I believe he felt for Freddie. Truly this is one of the best performances of this song.
Elton John made an attempt to embrace Mey - but he escaped and defiantly went to the other end of the scene. On their faces was such a rage and hatred, which I never have seen them - even the ever phlegmatic Deacon face was distorted. That incident proved that they have not betrayed Freddie ... more they are in such did not participate - they realized that they are used.
He tuzhilsya get into music - and it did not work, because «Queen» played no «Show ...», but something quite different. They are frankly out of tune - so that they could bring to a heart attack. Taylor knock, and May extracted from the guitar untranslatable curses.
With the greatest of respect, I'm wondering in you watched a different video. Sure, this was an emotional performance on alot of levels for all of them. But 'rage' and 'hatred'? Very powerful words. Emotional and uncomfortable, maybe. But this performances was a first on alot of levels. So, understandable I feel. And they certainly were not out of tune!!
Of course, in an interview they said that everything is fine - but on stage it all looked different.
It was a nightmare, a nightmare. Onstage agonized pale worms from the Ballet Bejart. Bejart himself walked on stage, stumbling over his dancers. Elton John did not sing - he croaked, like a squashed crow.
Another provocation took place in 1997, when Maurice Bejart ballet set to music by Mercury and the «Queen». Ballet was said to be dedicated to the memory of Freddie Mercury and all the talented people who died in the prime of life -Ex-members «Queen» asked to participate in the premiere.
I really like this version. So emotional and sad. You can really feel they miss Freddie and they put so much power into the song. I like Elton&Queen together. But no one could ever replace Freddie.
I kinda love this version /because/ of the way Elton's voice doesn't reach and fill the song the same way Freddie's did -- it feels more like a threnody or elegy, where you feel the grief and ache the band must be feeling.
Do you mean Adam Lambert? That'd be great- he has the vocal range for it, and he's expressive like Freddie.
And to SpiritMolecule1- Freddie was gay, Elton John is gay, and yes, Adam Lambert is gay. Who cares? They can sing. It doesn't matter whether they're gay, straight, bisexual, or whatever.
Oh! That could be great... I love Adam Pascal, I just never thought of him with Queen. And I tend to associate Adam Lambert with Queen, which is why that's who I thought you mean, I guess. But... That could be great. What gave you the idea?
John Deacon needs to come back and Queen needs to find a new offical lead singer, not to replace Freddie, just so the show can go on. (But only if John Deacon comes back first),
Look its not something I would say likely, and you are right, but still the show must go on, and as I said only if John comes back. However, even then I would say Freddie would always be credited as an active member.
Does anyone know if a high quality version of this video is available on any Queen DVD??? I am pretty positive that Elton doesn't have this clip on any of his stuff... cause I own most of it. I plan on collecting all of Queen's DVD's but would like to start with one that has this clip in it. It would be nice if that whole concert is on a dvd... but if not... I will live with this clip as an "extra" on another DVD if available. Thanks for anyone that can help!!!
We all know that nobody can sing like Freddie. It usually annoys me when people try to sing his songs, but Elton is just amazing. Maybe it's simply because he doesn't have to compare himself to Freddie - nobody is going to sound like Elton either.
As an aside, Adam Lambert is very good, yes, but he doesn't have the power in his voice like these 2 singers. He has the stage presence and an incredible voice, but Queen songs are just not for him imo. Freddie sang rock like nobody else ever could.
Freddie and Elton are amazing. I like how Elton sings this song with power. Also I just wanna say he looks like a combination of Bill Gates and Winston Churchill in this video.
I just wanted to add my own comment here, based on the Freddy Vs. Elton thing. As a big fan of both, I just wanted to say that I think it's more elton paying homage to Freddy. Besides Elton as an outstanding member of the gay community is doing freddy a great tribute
Whoever says Elton was better is an idiot. Elton can't sing such a powerful song not because of the vocal range but also because he can't interpretate the feeling Freddie puts in the song.
Vocal rangement - well Elton is a kitten infront of Freddie. Mercury's voice is unique and extremely powerful and I don't think there is someone or if there will be someone who will get anywhere near his voice. Someone becomes a legend because he or she is unique, and Freddie was unique.
The feeling that Freddie put on this song was because he already knew that he was dying. But, I am agree with you, nobody likes Freddie. About a replace for his unique voice, what about Adam Lambert?
OK, now I'm crying, this song is so sad. I think that both of the interpretations are emotionals in differents ways. In Mercury's version you can feel the sadness through his voice, was very deep. But in Elton's version you feel emotional at the fact that he's not there, you can see the member of the band really sad and Elton's could interpretate was Mercury was feeling by the tone he sang. You can't help to miss Mercury and feel sorry for his tragic dead...
I think the original song with Freddie was more emotional on its own, but I'd almost have to say this video is more emotional than the original song. I mean, in addition to Elton's singing, take a look at John Deacon. He just looks downright depressed.
This is an amazing version of the song, but I don't get why some people find this version more emotional than Freddie's. He was literally dying when singing it, so while Elton is great in this there is no way his performance is more emotional than Freddie's.
I agree. Elton sang it in order to remember Freddie Mercury, but if you listen carefully to Freddie's version, you could actually hear sadness in his voice.
Well, it wouldn't really be possible to replicate 'I'm six weeks from death, but I think I'm still gonna give AIDS the finger one last time' would it now?
Elon John es el cantante que más se ha acercado a la voz de Freddie Mercury. Ni Paul Rogers ni nadie ha sido capaz de llegarle a la altura de las rodillas a Freddie, pero este cantante se a acercado, obviamente es inferior pero es muy bueno igualmente.
Wow!! I love the way Elton John does this song. He is so incredible. It's an amazing song. Probably the best one Freddie Mercury ever did. And I am a huge Queen fan.
It's strange when you guys are always try to compare artists. When Elton sings this song, he doesn't want to "overcome" Freddie or something, all he wants is to sing his friend's song, to remind people of Freddie. What's up with all the comparing and bashing the other artists?
this version was great and it does justice to the song that all the band members took part in the performance, Elton john did a great job and knowing that he has great respect for freddie i bet he sung his heart out. Freddie is, hands down the one and only person for this song, everytime i hear the original i always tear up since i know it's freddie. Queen is awesome and I liked this one with elton, but i am a freddie, brian, roger, and Deacon-Queen fan forever:D
Freddie's version is amazing and, unquestionably the standard by which this song should be judged.
That being said, Elton John is an outstanding singer and certainly did this song justice.
Not sure why youtube has such an immature base of characters where everything is ____ vs. ____. They are two different singers singing their interpretation of this song. Elton did a fine job.
Very good job by Elton John; great emotion and passion. But how freakin cool is it to see Mr. John Deacon on bass. John Deacon.....where are you? Thank you for the music.

Elton a le coffre pour chanter avec Queen, c'est clair ... De toute facon, il sait chanter tous les repertoires ...

he might have the darker voice, but Elton lacks the power that Freddie had.

Great John Deacon! and great Queen. It sounds great....but imagine the song performed live by FM. It would sound divine.

you can't replace freddie mercury but you have to admit elton john is probably the best possible person to cover for him

Wow!! I love the way Elton John does this song. He is so incredible. It's an amazing song. Probably the best one Freddie Mercury ever did. And I am a huge Queen fan.

Such a fantastic song. Elton's voice goes with it so well. He's paying tribute his friend in a wonderful way.

It's strange when you guys are always try to compare artists. When Elton sings this song, he doesn't want to "overcome" Freddie or something, all he wants is to sing his friend's song, to remind people of Freddie. What's up with all the comparing and bashing the other artists?

The is only one Freddie Mercury, and Elton John is nothing compared to Freddie. But it's a beautiful tribute to Freddie. Rest in peace, I miss you.

It's like with many other rock bands. Many get problems with drugs or alcohol. Queen never had that problem, but they also got inflicted sadly.

A worthy tribute to Freddie. Many have tried but Elton really nails this.

I think Elton's performance did justice to Freddie. Granted, Elton ain't better than Freddie (who is?), but he performed very amazing.
Poor John, I can see in his face that he's fighting back tears...

Freddie and Elton performed this equally well in their own unique ways. I think they are both equally amazing

this version was great and it does justice to the song that all the band members took part in the performance, Elton john did a great job and knowing that he has great respect for freddie i bet he sung his heart out. Freddie is, hands down the one and only person for this song, everytime i hear the original i always tear up since i know it's freddie. Queen is awesome and I liked this one with elton, but i am a freddie, brian, roger, and Deacon-Queen fan forever:D

Freddie ruleeez. He IS Queen.

Freddie's version is amazing and, unquestionably the standard by which this song should be judged.
That being said, Elton John is an outstanding singer and certainly did this song justice.
Not sure why youtube has such an immature base of characters where everything is ____ vs. ____. They are two different singers singing their interpretation of this song. Elton did a fine job.

May's guitar has an atmosphere of sunset feeling. The great sadness and dignity by a true guitar master.
