Tiny Dancer By Elton John

[Doug19752533]

was this a tallent show?? to quote Clint Eastwood from "Honkytonk Man" : "maybe if you were up against a braying jackass you might of stood a chance!"

[3rdbillygoat]

Whoa..... watch the tempo! Breathe.... relax. Lay back in the groove.

[Sappyspartan]

And from this video, all of you probably realize just how talented Elton John really is.

[german661977]

horrorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[shitstomp2]

That guy sounds like a tranny

[l0gan1996]

you kinda ruined an amazing song

[emailpranks]

Why do you want Tony Danza to hold you closer?

[62misfit]

You did a Great Job :)

[JDGreenPumpkin]

You just made my ears vomit.

[Sappyspartan]

@JDGreenPumpkin LMAO

[JKellox69lol]

Playing piano and singing at the same time while keeping a steady tempo is extremely difficult. While the vocal performance wasn't top notch, it is still shows great talent for this young man to be able to keep a somewhat complicated piano piece while attempting to sing. Well done mate.

[joekkl]

Tempo, my friend. Tempo.

[indianpacific1]

wasnt even bad, wtf is with these comments.

[Seppow92]

to fast , and you just suck ............

im not a fan but justin bieber could sing better than this ..

thumps.. down

[harryjgoodwin]

Let's hear all of your versions then.... That's right, I can't hear a fucking thing!!! Ridiculous cunts.

[ox3443]

I count 548 tempo changes. i may be missing a few though

[TheCheerfulMessiah]

Sounds like somebody had a cold...

[JakeVhabae]

Yikes...lol

[anibalnikov47]

not bad at all... just work on voice and tempo !

[srv3355]

SLOW DOWN!!! better than I can because I can't play it. But it would be awesome if you slowed it down alot.

[Saraha1e]

Yucky

[beautifulsarah100]

2 clues on how to cover Elton songs: 1. If you can't add anything better than the original, sing it EXACTLY like Elton. 2. You CAN'T add anything better on ANY Elton song.

In your defense, though: good piano playing. I wish the recording was a little better so I could hear you better.

[DDbRowN67]

beautiful pianist..you have a great voice...this isn't an easy song....good job!!

[JoelovestheBeatles]

give the guy a break ppl it's hard to play and sing at the same time

And playing in front of an audience is pretty difficult

however all the points i have seen are valid,but u need to take alot of other things into account 

[V301H]

This would be so much more effective if he wore an Elton John costume such as the Donald Duck outfit.

[MikeyMike2005]

You're better than I am so far. 

[johnnyaps7]

just a tad fast. i think it would be better if he didnt seem so nervous

[17865329]

Hey, no he ain't Elton, obviously, if he was he'd have all the gold records, I admire

his gumption, he did try to sing and play, which isn't easy, the performance has

some good to it, but admittedly it's pretty shaky in places. I don't know about

mugging for applause though, that's a bit over the line. It is not a professional

performance, the 46 thousand who watched didn't pay to do so.

[paultheactor1]

He sucks but on a positive note,(And not an off key note)at least his hair looks as fucked up as Eltons wig! And if your trying to pick guys up with your singing you have failed! And Tiny Dancer is the closest you will ever get to having anyone in you! Parents should not push their kids to do stuff like this when they just embarrass themselves!LOL

[UrAJeW14]

fags postin negative,hes not actually elton john himself so of course it wont be 100% go grow a penis trolls

[HskClothing]

I feel that hes much better when not nervous

[TheJesperAble]

a little bit to fast...

[AzzaTheFalcon]

start of it was a tiny bit fast but the rest was beyond the wor brilliant!

[Bigvin87]

he was too nervous...great stuff though..just slow the piano down a bit and you got it (nervousness made it too fast)

[cpapple512]

Singing is pretty bad lol but if you slow down your piano it will be spot on. Singing is really flat though

[biziberri]

=S

=S

[LikeStuff18]

congratulations, you did it very well

[caustic77755]

good piano work a bit fast though

[tjmmilburn2007]

Best cover version ever! Just as good as Elton John!

[ghawk2005]

HAHAHA!!!!!! you have GOT to be kidding. this is just amateur! no other word for it. well there are but i try not to insult the animals and their excrement!

[tjmmilburn2007]

He hits ALL the notes though!

[nzfifer]

got to agree no where near as good as elton or his cat

[surfkayakerxray]

woopwoop

[MichaelIsleyBand]

nice work homie

[gards2]

He was obviously nervous, that's why he's playing so fast you horrible bastards! lol

[anagramish]

Slow down a bit and try just to sing with your own voice instead of trying to copy elton's.

[smmforum]

You deceived people by saying this is Tiny Dancer by Elton John. It isn't Elton John. It's some high school kid 99.9% of the people don't care about. Next time, have some consideration for people on youtube and stop lying about what the video is about.

[tjmmilburn2007]

Harsh.

[fraser311]

fail

[Gregsynth]

Epic. lol

[VoodooZmija]

slow down a bit, and take out a few of the keys your hitting, not necessary. your voice is great,. but your piano is good.

[Gregsynth]

The guy's got potential--I'll give him that, but he REALLY needs to practice this a quite a bit more.

[ruttman15]

I thought you did a good job.

[lalaindahouse]

i think it was a valiant effort! good job!

how could people try to compare him to elton john? that's not fair.

[grnidgodess]

come on. The guy is not Elton John, this is true. But I think he did a good job.

[evolutionjoe]

those who can't do, those who wouldn't get up to try, spend their time on their keyboard criticizing........

I'm pretty sure even Elton John would be appreciate the effort, good work, keep playing.

[martas1981]

fail

[thepolishprince1]

This is one of the worst versions of this song I have ever heard. For being a musician and being able to play a song like this and sing at the same time, he needs to practice a hell of a lot more if he really and truly wants sincere and appreicative applause. Had I been there, I would have risen out of my seat and walked out of the building. I've been singing this song ever since it came out and would never dare sing it unless I was sure I know all of the lyrics and the proper melody! Garbage!

[Gregsynthmovies]

He also forgot the lyrics! LOL!

[mynameisalsojeff]

Wasnt the best, but Elton john is and its what most people are comparing you too, so anyway good job dude i can play and sing this song too on piano but i would never have the guts to do it on stage like you did

[QweenGhost]

u did great on voice the piono was off and when you started slowly it was off but then other than that you were awsome!!!

goodjob!

[andypobjoy]

Keep it up, buddy. You'll be carving up piano bars everywhere in a few years time.  Don't let the nasty comments get you down.

[mrgreyshadow]

Maybe you were nervous?

Your voice is fine, but you just have some tempo issues, I think.

[duegold]

that was horrible

[Kamikaze3557]

I must apologize for some of the responses ,I've marked them as SPAM. Do NOT listen to those IDIOTS!!! They had better hope I never meet them. What's happened to this world anyway. Crude ugly sick people , those who would put this performer down for a fine cover of Tiny Dancer.

[kerra0895]

it was OK. u need to work on your voice and i dont know if it was supposed to be that way but the timing was abit off in places.

[ghawk2005]

how can people enjoy this? NEVER perform something that is not ready or competant. get some decent singing and piano tuition. this is really painful. 1) tuning/pitching, 2) diction, 3) time keeping...rubato isn't even close to describing this, 4) ends of notes sliding all over the place. i'm not even gonna get stated on the piano playing. ouch!

[iduno14]

i agree, i couldn't understand why people gave you negative comments - ghawk2005

[ghawk2005]

we gave negative comments because it was a bad video. likewise if it had been amazing, we would have given great comments. simple

[kevintwilson]

No, listen to these remploys. That was a seriously disastrous rendition of a classic. You disgust me.

[dydx11]

Dont listen to these remploys. Takes some balls to get up on stage and perform.

Just work on your timekeeping with a metronome.

[FailingDrummer91]

I think that it was a good effort but id work on the bridge to the first chorus a bit though, and seriously needs work on vocals and slow down the piano, but apart from that...haha 2* for effort

[porkchop691123]

I came to listen to a great song.

But you disappoint me with this shit!

wtf?

[JohnScarecrow]

no it wasn' i mean come on-listen to the original. this guy seriously dishonors that song. too bad you can't give zero stars!

[irollerblade89]

not bad at all. slow it down though

[tameurysm]

son, don't let the negtive commentary keep you from your dreams. keep working. these nay sayers, most of them, let's face it that is their "gift" to the world. Hold the applause.

[Chilipeppersallday]

yea. keep going at it.

[VOODOOCHILDJORDAN]

out of time

[Myking100]

SRY BUT YOU CAN´T SING!!!!

[hunkyfunkster]

i feel song for people that can play an instrument but their vocals let them down, must be horrible!

[madmax7million]

You're really bad mate

[stinger61580]

u suck u fucking suck bro

[angusord]

eeerrrrm that was bad. too fast ! sorry not for me

[rivernook1]

You need to feel the song a bit more..

[dekaOsiris]

geez, don't take speed before a performance!!!!

[kechiqalin]

suck

[cathjolln]

eh?! ... THATS BAD NOTHING LIKE ELTON JOHN!!!! OR IRONIK!!!

[affmabus]

played in staccato when it shouldnt be!! too many pauses that dont work! the vocals dont flow smoothly enough, one part he holds notes then other parts he sings in a jumpy manner, sorry needs practice but the foundations are there, with practice it CAN be perfected

[Bradiztheman]

wayyyyyy wayy too fast. Sorry. Voice was off as well. Get some more practice and SLOW DOWN!

[uhaan1]

this reminds me of james blunt or is that your a cunt ?

[DiluteMeDown]

embarrassing to watch. pitch issues, tempo issues, chord changing issues (which were well disguised as pauses)

general issues... issues, issues, issues.

[bigboyastoria]

slow down!!!!!!!!!!!

[airborne120]

Boooo I want a refund

[JonnyBoySyer]

Too fasttttttttttttt

Good effort though

[KATO0504]

MY VIRGIN EARS!

[Tr33fiddy]

So anyway I think this was pretty go- woah shit, I think there's a little blood coming out of my ears...

[idotswithcamera]

if the guy didn't like wht he did or thought it was his best he wouldn't have put it up there so he clearly sucks

[frade001]

I wanna see all you jerk get up there and give this performance a shot. i enjoyed it, keep working on it you'll perfect it some day.

[chinzo11]

pretty lllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad­ddddddddiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee ballllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeerr­rrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaa. let me just say yyyyyyyyyyoooooooouuuuuu ssuuuuuuuccccccckkkk

[joselalloum]

spot on!

[chinzo11]

all of the negative comments a 100% correct

[chinzo11]

i used to like that song until just now

[gummiplutt]

It was sort of good. I can see that you have great potential, you just need more practice and someone to give constructive critisism. I really like what you did with the piano, very few performers captured the spirit of the song like that. Just find a person that can give good critisism and practice, practice practice :)

[JazzIsaac]

nice job, you probably played it a little faster than you normally would because being on stage is nerve racking. Overall I'd be happy to be in the audience

[EndoverPunkRock]

give the guy a break he was just nervous

its not an amazing cover but it could have been alot worse

[Roslee25]

This is a classic song from Elton John. I would have worked on this song alot more before performing it live like that. You were holding your notes to long and too short. I really don't see how you had the nerve to post this on you tube! :S

[Tribute1212]

Why does everyone always have to post negative things about videos? I thought you played it really well, and your voice is great. Amazing song.  I do agree, it sounded a little fast, but it was great.

[hoffritz22]

Pure Shit

[Lonitooni]

awfull:( killed the song

[babygurl52310]

The first version of this song was only 4min40secs long.His isnt too fast actually it is slower by 17secs,so play it dude

[babygurl52310]

In 1971 the First version of Tiny Dancer was fast 4min40secs,,,,,,So plat the hell out of it dude

[Pitua4]

menuda mierda de tio! que se pierde como toca y desfinacion super mal un 0.

[codemonkeybrains]

yeah, sorry to be negative, but holy f#^%$ #^$. way too fast/nervous, and I stopped the vid when he sang baaaaaaaaannnnnd. good lord.

[davoplace]

I agree with you, but some bits were really excellent but some bits weren't =(

[uzuri01]

you sound like you are in a hurry. relax heh.

[zimhudson]

sorry dude but YOU SUCK

[ltxsmash]

i agree with all the comments about how bad this performance was, but i think its largely due to the fact that he was scared out of his mind, u can see the stage-fright in the air

[Nerdrum]

Poor girls if you shag the way you play the piano...you need to slow down a little

[thehoffa]

hmmmmm.

[piggygoink]

That really sucked.

The singing was awful.

That's what's ruined it.

[EKGirlSkateboards]

i think you played wayyy to quickk

[mspormsd]

he murdered that song big time

[rossco993]

the whole thing was a mess man.....it was pretty awful....

[PooJiraiya]

[johnshadows]

sick as fuckkkkk

[jwmag]

this guy is gayer than EJ

[bornintheusa1988]

lol indeed, he cant SING! it sux...and he cant play the song on the piano!it just sounds like shit!

[CMichaelKramer]

Very nice!!! You did great. It doesn't matter if your nervous, stiff, or whatever, as long as it sounds good. At least you don't get your courage from a bottle.

[bugatti103]

Nice playing.... check out my Elton covers. John

[hardcoreness92]

sux

[pjwrestlingfan619]

at least he can sing i bet u cant even sing u pansie

[Jaco352]

Is it just me or is that piano in desperate need of tuning!? It sounds almost honky tonk! Hahaha

[themanfromparis]

yeah whatever you say, guys - he managed the falsetto without making me puke, and I say: FINE!!!

[white95sl2]

yeah that tempo is WAY TOO FAST!

[AzzaTheFalcon]

who cares if he is fast, or nervous, I thought it was absolutely fantastic and I wish I could play like that =)

[Explorer086]

I think he destroyed that song! BASTARD

[pure0172]

I think you did a great job, definetly loooked nervous but a little more losened up after the intemission for applaud lol, i dont see why people are trying to say you suck, I mean your not elton john but you did a really good job

[FayeFaye30]

seems like hes nervous

hes got a lot of talent

playin too fast

smoke a joint b4 to calm yo sef

[cronny1111]

This absolutley horrible.

[PooJiraiya]

what the hell is this shet? u suck so badly dumass

[ShadyRecords2332]

you suck

[ESB1138]

He must not perform a lot in front of people because at times it just felt like he was nervous or something.

[princev11]

no offense but u look like ur spazzing and having a seizure near 1:20

relaxx man u c elton playy he always has funn

loosey gooseyy

[clough103]

hm i bet you could sing and play better eh?

[jimpedigo]

Well done, but slow it down and tighten it up.  (You freeze up a few times.)

[ilovealaska]

The dude is on speed ? (I want some)

[fishfoodlad]

YOU ARE AWSOME!

[fishfoodlad]

YOU ARE AWSOME!

[assafy]

it's really to fast, but ur playin really good. keep up with da good work mate :)

[luket93]

very good :D great cover

[Rossopwnzalord]

Woah. That could've been good. Way too fast, I felt like I was being pulled through it, which didn't make me want to listen to it.

[Tim1302]

to fast. And why are you streched the words so much ??

[delson514]

SMEEE THIS IS AWESOME i never saw this

i think you should put your version of piano man on here good ole hangover song first thing in the morning

well i know that i could be a porno star

[azi12345]

slow it down abit, concentrate on the ballerina part aswell. Good effort.

[almosttiger92]

sounds like your playing to fast

[klubbaklubb]

What song is not hard

with out notes

[Benfivelive]

I LOVED HOW U STAtoed THOSE NOTES!!!! wow that really made your emotion stand out well done you have ***** stars and are Gig level man! if you ask me you are the piano man making a stand :)

[Eeza07]

Dude, you are really good. The piano playing is marvelous and your voice is decent, and well done playing in front of a crowd. Mixing it up a bit as well was good. Well done mate.

[theojhawk]

i agree like polo said dont be so worried

and also heres a quote " we play like we talk; not short and cut up"- unknow to my knowledge. so add tie's and slur's in there

[polock2112]

work on the tempo and you might wanna adjust the mic and not be so worried

[JaYSpRE2007]

I think you handled yourself well, man. When you're on stage faceing everyone, it's entirely different than playing in your living room. Even if your tempo did change a bit. I give you credit for doing what you did and facing the crowd. I know there are tons of things that go through your head on stage that you somehow have to block out. I've been there too. Good job.

[alex9050]

woah get some posture lol

[PIANOMAN720]

Good job dude, just watch your timing, relax it will flow !!

[heathmcateer]

hey, its ok, you were a little bit fast, but great job, elton john kicks

[jonathansnchz]

good and off beat

[ccon182]

good work man. im sure it was just being in front of people that did it but your timing was fluctuating a bit, try playing to a metronome. but of course its obvious your talented so you already knew that. thats why i figured its just being in front of people.

[REGISTRERMEGDA]

great work

[KurtRip94]

this is a great cover
