Elton John - I guess that's why they call it the blues

[robstrevor]

1 man and his piano can do great things! Very powerful!

[roxykgirl]

elton johnnnn is awwesommme

[oops636]

i love this song its one of my favorite elton john songs but it seems like he is singing it a little different the first one was really catchy but its probably just me

[ChungandHuh]

why is there so litte views?

[bboooobbyy]

i prefer elton john's pre-surgery voice, but his current voice is still awesome.

[gtownrox]

hes a musical freak

[undertakerbesteva]

the Lord should make some people live forever. Elton John is one of those people!

[asipyouare]

He doesn't need the Lord to live forever. His music will take care of that. (No offense Lord).

[rickiwilliamson1]

@asipyouare none taken.... he doesn't exist lol

[hetropride]

I loved this song! What the h*ll is up with the full on lisp now?

[sgtcornsack]

maybe he had a sore or something

[hetropride]

You could be right. His voice seems to be failing him or the sore thing...lol

[njnorth1]

@hetropride

He seems to be working too here.

[chretiend123]

he's good. i love elton john. he gets better with age i think.

[ts30136]

Eltons voice has improved with age, much richer than the younger Elton. Obviously clear to me that Inspector711 would go broke as a music critic.

[icecoldhubbas]

Yes! This one is the best I've EVER heard. The voice is perfect! I even think hear a little sourthen accent from living down in ATL so long.

[bohemianspiritmn]

One of the BEST versions ever! I think Elton's lower, more "raw" voice is perfect for expressive blues singing. Love that ending!

People, stop comparing his youth with his maturity. Aging happens, but so does musical evolution, and if he can't make those clear falsetto tones he once could, he's got a LOT more musical evolution and life experience going into his singing now. He knows how the use the instrument he's got here and now, instead of trying to be what he was 30 years ago. ELTON!

[alex14gray]

Are you mad? Why not so excited? The guy is a GENIUS!

[alex14gray]

Great performance, just hearing this guys music is something else. My dream is of seeing Sir Elton perform live is now my greatest reality! :D

[Inspector711]

i got tickets to him and billy joel and i must say after hearing him sing this i'm not so excited.

[musickid5897]

ELTON JOHN AND BILLY JOEL ARE BOTH GENIUSES!! both of them together on their world wide tour is an amazingg showw. i honestly cannot believe you dnt lik him.

[Inspector711]

I do like him but at this point he is just ripping people off because his voice is completely shot. Retire Elton.

[icemanmxl]

wow wtf. he doesn't even sound the same. it's amazing what 26 years can do to a fags voice

[Passion4Oldies]

Well, it actually has NOTHING to do with being gay.. It's called drug and vocal abuse.. and he has nodules removed from his vocal chords.. And that lowered the timbre of his voice..

[Inspector711]

he sounds awful

[mickleover]

if u listen carefully when about a min and 10 has gone he says livin like children when its ment to be laughing like children lol

[tom9987]

he wrote the song. he can do what he wants.

[poppedcorn123698745]

he actually says laughin with a lisp but i agree with tom9987

[jcaretsk2]

why don't you quit crying you little fuckin faggot

[mafra61]

Rolling like thunder under the cover :)

Great song & performance ... Rock on Elton!

[AlliceSpring]

Elton! It's me who can say: "I love you more than I love life itself". I love you Elton!

And I send best wishes to all Elton's fans.

[PrincesssFantastic]

His Smile is to kill for!

[bobdole9696]

I love these pair of glasses that he's been wearing so much lately. I have a replica of them except in red (and of course much cheaper). But I really love it; it "molds" on his face so well! Rock on, Sir Elton!!
