Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

[youweking]

this dude is amazing.. grew up sing this song...We need artists like these now ah dayz

[ndesenacorreia]

Elton, é incrivel cantor, o cara canta de verdade, meus parabens.

[kantoothechameleon]

haha, i love his eyebrow!!!

[LimitlessGraeme]

I dont think they touch his voice up at all on his CD's they sound exactly the same. PURE TALLENT!!

[kantoothechameleon]

@LimitlessGraeme you spelled "tallent" wrong...it is "talent".

[gggaby817]

El mejor!!!

[unvmygame]

This is from the concert with Luciano Pavorotti. The "Live Like Horses" might be one of Elton's best live performances.

[SusieBunny]

timeless....

[blauundweiss1957]

My favourite song from him. Greetings from Germany.

[tmcguire38]

Thanks for posting I really needed this today :) my son left for the Marines and I needed to hear this song :)

[NashPreds39]

thanks for posting this! had chills the entire time i was watching this. its a shame live performances arent like this nowadays.

[motdag]

I'm a huge Elton fan and usually more into the stuff that he (and Taupin) did in the 70's, but this song is really good. An amazing, and some sort of nostalgic, melody.

[skibothy]

i would love to see sir Elton and Rush do a callabo

[TheVistaLord]

hes quite the talented man

[Poopisonfire]

I remember growing up with this song/video being played on MTV...you know, when music videos got aired on that shit ass network. This song always made me feel like someone was wrapping a towel around me, right out of the dryer...and giving me the biggest hug they could ever give with both their arms and every inch of skin. I just felt like everything was going to be okay every time that I heard it. Thank you, Sir Elton John...from someone that hung on your every word and note.

[Daniloagdn]

Canta muito, acho que não vai ter um cantor como esse em tão pouco tempo....

[ndesenacorreia]

Gosto das musicas do astro, Elton John, e muitas canções, nos leva em lugares distantes e perto do nosso dia- a dia, gosto dos Estrumento

.

[Donut1234499]

Guess is more american style isnt it?

But he comes from england. Could sb plz explain?

[FutureAbe]

@Donut1234499 i dont know.. but I do know that stevie wonder helped him with this song.. maybe thats why

[2BeHonestNow]

@FutureAbe Stevie Wonder played harmonica in the original version.

[SmokeBojangles]

[lazloleaf]

Who noticed at the end the drummer messed up by not stopping at the end break and John looks up at him and the drummer plays it off like it's all gravy! lol!

[Adurna150]

@benediktron i love how people act like they know something, he didn't sing an additional verse -.- he sang an additional line if that... it didn't differ that much from the original composition at all really...

[ricktalks2much1]

It's rare for a performer to be better live than in the studio but this guy hits em out of the park over n over again.

[severnbrown]

He totally wants to be closer to that crowd!

[atfranklin]

[Bdave15]

Elton John's a total bro

[HafidsBaby]

I remember lying in bed while you made that video of us in St. Louis using this song! I still smile when I think about that week.

Thank you, never forget Im your baby.

[vixitrixalina]

ahhh i lovelovelove this! so much, too much!! i didn't know this song until i saw Richard Davison's dressage Kur on Hiscox Artemis, which was a freestyle to an Elton John medley. This music was in it and from the moment i heard it i fell in love! there's videos on here somewhere, just type in "Richard Davison Artemis Kur" or something for some amazing dressage with Elton John music. he conducted it himself too! what a legend <3

[CJ270494]

seen him live, from his home town and met him at a watford game, a complete legend and musical genius!!!

[murphy54000]

@Shark2076 orly? but I'm listening to Elton John, so your argument is invalid.

[Shark2076]

@murphy54000 But if you were just listening then you would not be reading right. So then I guess it is ;)

[themer7238]

awesome

[theoldhomeplace]

I wish i'd met this guy....he's had such an impact on my music and my life!



[69dragster]

ive seen elton 3 times in perh but this time im not going to pay $350 for a ticket but if i was rich i would lol so elton i love your music and ill always will

[emilyhalecullen]

He is a show man!!!

[BigBossInc]

I was shocked when I found out Elton was gay.

[TmarTnRocks123]

@BigBossInc Well either way he's an amazing musician, isn't he? :)

[sirtinycreep]

Elt needs a haircut there.

[neyblas2000]

muito bom ... grande musicista .... !!!

[KJJSaintPaul]

Congratulations to Shark2076...great story and a great song.

[tipsana]

Here's hoping that everyone has the chance to "roll like thunder under the covers" with that special someone.

[simpleearthling]

@tipsana i fart like thunder under my covers

[ninjaduy20]

Billyboy, that's him and nobody can impersonate his greatness.

[billyboy7465]

good impersonator but fat as a pig

[lordalex82]

thank you Sir Elton Jonh,music´s history wouldnt be the same whithout you...

funny thing is,in the 70s he got a lot of enimies for being "excentric"...nowadys theres artist who became famous for being "excentric"...he was ahead of his time...go figure =)

thank you

[dakeyjake]

Elton John is simply the best there is. Plain and simple.

[JamieHutchins11]

Fucking hell, yh, this is the best version I have every heard.

[annie24ism]

[11caf]

This song is like a cup of coffe in the morning

[tottenhamstan09]

Everyone knows who Elton is but nobody knows any of his songs.

[Shark2076]

I was 3 years sober when my fiance broke up with me. That was a real test that night all I had was Elton Johns " I guess thats why they call it the blues" to listen to. I played this song over and over and cried over and over. However I did not drink I just sang this song with all my heart and today I got 7 years sober. Thank you Mr John for your music that night. :)

[raulishnikov]

@Shark2076 Now you can sing out loud.. I'M STILL STANDING!!! ;-)

[whobegotyou2009]

@Shark2076 sounds like ur a loser

[Shark2076]

@whobegotyou2009 your the one on Youtube on a Saturday night ;)

[simpleearthling]

@Shark2076 shut up you soppy cunt and open a bottle

[simpleearthling]

@Shark2076 your fiance probably left because you were more fun when you were a fucking drunk

[Shark2076]

@simpleearthling Yeah but my wife today is hotter ( I so win) , Also I was wondering if woman go crazy over wood making shows like the one on your profile? After watching an hour of that I may start drinking again. Is the guy on there Captain Kangaroo??

[METALWEED420]

@Shark2076 that's a moving story dude, 7 years sober is amazing so glad music got you through a rough time, you are a TRUE hero in my book .

[ScottPBMusic]

@Shark2076 Excellent comment :)



[barryscooper]

@Shark2076 HIS LOSS.... GREAT SONG AND IT HELPED YOU. SUCH GREAT WORDS. ITS GOOD YOU DID NOT TURN TO THE DRINK LIKE I DO. 

[Shark2076]

@barryscooper Well it's her loss lol Hey Barry anytime you want to talk let me know man. You have a choice and there is help.

[TheQazii]

@cmtevitor thank you for posting Greatest version of this song I have ever seen

[Sobekain]

Saw EJ in concert recently in Ohio at Blossom. BRILLIANT!

[angeloturelly]

After he got old, his voice got better too!

[marcioagnelo]

Eu ainda vou aprender ela no teclado!

[1987winrya1987]

@marcioagnelo We're in America dipshit.

[marcioagnelo]

@1987winrya1987 ok. sorry I said "I still will learn this song in the piano"

[tcixattblackberry]

he is truly a gift from "God" just enjoy the music, people.

[rickyfariass2009]

Big Work :)

[cartlhorse]

Elton John is one of the most talented musicans the world has ever seen, and the vast amount of comments are about Religion, WHY? the man makes great music. He also does amazing amounts of work for charity, and is basically a good man. IF he is ever called upon to "meet his maker" and settle his account, he can hold his head high and be proud of himself.

[angeloturelly]

This is really the best version I've seen!

[pedropaulosouzanunes]

Maravilhoso artista e cidadão do mundo! Amo sua obra.

Pedro Paulo de Souza Nunes

[herbert41318]

excellent the best !!

thx cmtevitor

[MrGENOSTV]

Looks like Sir had a couple of Red Bulls before the show.

[dani3marie]

When did we have to start analyzing EVERYTHING?

Just listen to the MUSIC people!

[dennyfrontier]

you are all fags get a life. (no offence elton <3)

[MadMonkeyCo]

Please don't ruin this song with some religion bullshit. If there is a superior being such as the one you refer to as 'God' it's name is probably not God and it probably doesn't care that much about a single race of beings, even though they are sentient.

[burtontoker]

Although, there was a city named "sodomy" which was for the wicked, lustful and evil doers of that time, much like American pop-culture is today. Jesus still loved those people, however their actions were not Christian like and one cannot be homosexual and accept Christ at the same time and call oneself a Christian. Sodomy means fucking another man basically, and that is not something that is acceptable in Christianity, and it never has. John may have good intentions but he is not a Christian

[callos1232]

@burtontoker Why not? god loves us all, Pttf more like he likes the perfect people, that is where people start to doubt his existance. If there is a god, he would love his humans in every way they beilive they should live.. Why would god send a perfecly innocent man to hell just because hes gay? IF he lived live the way he wanted too, then god is an evil man indeed, or the christians are.

[burtontoker]

@callos1232 Why is he not a Christian? Because he does not follow Christian doctrine, that is the simple answer. His personal relationship with Christ is nothing I know of, but Jesus loves him, and everyone, no matter what they do. If God loves everyone for the way they believe they should live, then what about the suicide bombers, for example? They believe by killing themselves God will give them a special reward in heaven. God loves everyone, but he created a law that he wants us to follow.

[burtontoker]

@callos1232 God sends no one to hell, they choose to go their by their own actions, specifically in this case by denying God's word. God is merciful as well, and in the case of homosexuality, God created Man for Woman, and Woman for Man. God's intentions were never for a man to be with another man. There's a lot God takes into consideration after death, and he is merciful, but if a person chooses "hell" it is done so freely because they want to live without God.

[callos1232]

@burtontoker But god made animals right? And trees.. and brids.. And humans are not allowed to kill each other. but animals are allowed to kill anything they like, but if an animal kills a human it gets killed. Are humans the domminet race, or as the bible put it, all man and animal are the same, noahs ark reference btw

[ronlichlyter71]

@burtontoker your not a christian either or you wouldnt judge and use that kind of language, try again troll

[burtontoker]

@ronlichlyter71 What language? I'm not a Christian. I'm not judging either, but according to Christianity and what Jesus said, homosexuality is a sin. Theres a difference between saying "that person is going to hell, they're worthless, a total fag that deserves to burn!" That isn't what I said. I made a logical statement that is in accordance with the bible, and that is that being a homosexual is not natural and that it is a sin, this is according to Christian doctrine, I'm not judging anyone

[AintSheABeute]

@burtontoker He is a Christian. It is impossible for any being to go through their life and not commit at least one sin. The bible is contradictory, and should not be taken seriously.

Oh, and for fuck sake, dont mention it on Youtube, people get butthurt.

[Shark2076]

@burtontoker The thing is Jesus never talk about Homosexuality at all. He talked about loving everyone as you love your self. Pay attention to the words in red not the stuff in the front of the book. :)

[ureatowel15]

@Shark2076 There is no proof of jesus existing. You would think it would be kind of conspicuous curing blind people, though. That's weird.

[BradLuther1]

@Shark2076 Unfortunately, anyone can take a simple verse and turn it around for there own use. Not saying that you are, but be sure to read around so you have the proper context

[Shark2076]

@BradLuther1 Sure thing! God bless

[burtontoker]

Elton john is openly gay, and says he believes in Christ, yet he is not a Christian. Sure, he may believe Jesus died for us, but that alone does not define a person as a Christian. Being a Christian is more than believing in Jesus, it is following a doctrine and set of beliefs that are formed when a complete study of the bible has been complete. The bible clearly is against homosexuality, so is Jesus, this does not mean God does not love Elton John, or anyone else any less.

[ronlichlyter71]

@burtontoker  my bible says judge not lest ye be judged....you should try reading it

[makeyourself1988]

this makes me wanna be able to play piano so much

[aldooraffs]

yeah totally agree, this version rocks

[3333mado]

Elton t,es le meilleur

[3333mado]

[EVALDOQUADROS1]

[ASarahThing]

Why are people talking about religion?

[jediguardian1]

Why are you guys talking about Religion in this Video? I'm Catholic but I don't go around flaming with it. Chill guys and enjoy this gifted song.

[Nenapopydivina]

[georgiarussel]

best audio ever uploaded on u2b

[lynda4199]

oh yeah, and great song, great vid!

[lynda4199]

If you really want to represent Jesus, than the best thing to do is pray for the person, not put up hateful comments about them. God told us to love eachother, we may not agree with how they live their lives, but it's not Christlike to hate the people. I am a Christian and I love all kinds of music, Cat Stevens, even though he is muslim, Elton John even though he is gay. Like I said, love the person, pray for them, but don't leave hateful comments about them. We have a bad enough rep as it is

[EMET1451952]

@lynda4199 Hello! I am from Russia and I love The UK. God save The Queen!

[JohnMarks15]

@lynda4199 Your exactly right. Hate the sin, not the person.
