Elton John - Crocodile Rock (Solo in Spain, 1999)

[hasanyoneseenelvis]

at 1:10 the camera man was thinking exactly what i was thinking,mmmmmmmm!

[isacc0awesome]

i love how elton always seems to be having fun

[coolcormorant]

haha elton signaled them to do the Lalaaalalalalaaaa at 1:11 and they didnt do shit, silly spaniards lol

[BLRSOKPPT]

Wow, he really tears that piano up as a soloist. Bravo :)

[johnkian27]

1:07 - 1:10 yum

[Ksmicer]

I am 18. I listen to rock, techno, and pretty much anything that sounds good. I am just your average teen. I loveeee listening to Elton John too. Hardly anything can compete with classics like this.

[MestizoFilipino]

¿Qué ha dicho?

[kayteeW]

now that the americans have a black guy for a president, im pretty sure it would be possible for a gay man to be next.. hopefully that doesnt take too long to happen. elton john needs to rule the world with his music so that there might actually be world peace!

[mantas1803]

It's just amazing how he can entertain a whole stadium with just a piano and his voice!

[homeztracyt]

why do people suck at la la la part like really?

[mitchm3222]

Sir Elton Hercules John

Sir Elton Hercules John

[readynow12345]

His voice sucks at the stage of his career, why does he keep singing, he's sounds as if he's singing through his nostrils.

[rcktman757]

@readynow12345 do you know anything about music??or singing??...he still sells out stadiums and arenas because his voice, piano playing and because of his legend....that is a very offensive statement to make,...you should apologize to all of us

[HaliacetusLeuco]

We're goin to party like í'+$ 1999 jU.$.+~* tons of water but no Wine.

[HaliacetusLeuco]

old Blue jeans muy $incero~who is the CRimSON~+~+~* +ide~*

[Sparksterfu]

Religion's role is to bring unity, understanding, and most importantly love. When its stop doing that, it is time to abandon it.

[KITtheone]

my fave Elton song :)

its so 80s!!!!

[chrisrobertwormley]

He's dressed like Austin Powers

[Maxtout11]

...He's gay!? I'm so lost!

[scginda803]

@Maxtout11 hahahaha. yea he is gay.

[scginda803]

Pay no attention to susie's dress being tight. he talking about shawn tight jeans.lol

[sanmiguelll]

waaw he is enoormous; so good in his solo, his piano accompaniment skill is incredible; so much presence and charisma

[delga2099]

pinches españoles que no se saben el puto coro? pinches estupidos me cagan la madre

[KORINALOVER]

long life to the AIDS

[D2DRUMM]

Awesome song!! I wish I could play piano like that:O

[ANDREWPUFFY]

shades that look like stars, flamboyant outfits, sold out concerts, just he and his piano Dwight his REAL NAME made the best decision by not returning home down that yellow brick road.

[Arthur5041975]

I saw him during his solo tour in 1999 and he had the entire arena standing and participating in this number. Not many can get 70,000 standing, clapping and singing in unison. He is a legend.

[TheHausi20]

Elton John for ever!

[arizonaPaige]

im catholic and im not offended. think about all the crap he has had to take because of his sexuality. its just dumb. it should never matter what his sexuality is, god put him on this earth with the gift of music. we should support that. if you think he disrespected our religion as christians, he is speaking how he feels about the treatment he gets. he has the right to express that, especially after the disrespect he receives.

[czle682]

@arizonaPaige

i don' t understand you, but i think you are right.

[alexmetista]

now i'm gonna apread the word about what he said about our lord in portuguese, which is the language brazilians speak, brazil is a coutry of more then 200 hundred million people, and 98 % of the population is christian, therefore when they find out what he said, i hope people get as upset as i am to the point of stop buying his songs...

[ClackstonBiaar]

A country with more than 200 million people, 98% of whom are Christian? Holy-fucking-shit, that is a lot of idiots.

[anagramish]

@alexmetista you sound like an obsessive compulsive idiot. the world lost john lennon because of people like you believing in fairy storys like god and crap

[alexmetista]

Elton John said our lord Jesus is gay, I have deleted all his songs on my Ipod, and I hope he loses all his Christians fans.

[mymotherisnothot]

@alexmetista

I'm in the same boat as you. As much as i loved his music, I try hard to ignore his homosexuality...but that's pretty much impossible.

[alexmetista]

Wellcome to Heaven's Army!

[Tim1302]

people like you are just sad. I feel very sorry for you ... ignorant because of your religion ... you are just a victim. Its not your fault...

[alexmetista]

My faith made me a happy man, people like you live in denial, we are all ignorante can't you see? Who can guarantee that your point of view is the right one?

[Tim1302]

And who can guarantee that yours is the right one?

My atheism made me a happy man.

Your argument is silly...

[badtown88]

@alexmetista

Wow, you're a douche with a capital D.

[alexmetista]

Elton John said our lord Jesus is gay. I have deleted all his songs and I'm gonna spread the word...

[badtown88]

Our lord??  No Jesus, is YOUR lord. I'm not a Christian, and I despise Christianity. The difference between me and you is that I don't judge people on their beliefs. I don't delete Christian artists from my Ipod. I enjoy their music and don't worry about their personal lives. You should maybe try that.

[arizonaPaige]

@alexmetista elton said this probably because he is stating a point that jesus doesnt care who is gay. therefore jesus could be gay, bc being gay doesnt matter. the fact that you took offense that he said jesus was gay shows you have something against people who are gay. and thats rude. Im christian and I have no problem with this at all, you do bc you think of gay as a derogatory term and you shouldnt.

[BestPlayer09]

@arizonaPaige lol ur just shut up dont make a fool out of urself

[Sputnic4848]

well, he hasnt lost me. Shouldn't even matter if he is gay or not, he makes great music, and its sad you cant enjoy his music without worrying about is sexuality, which is really none of our business.

[alexmetista]

@Sputnic4848 You're right, I've always known he was gay and had been buying his records for more than two decades! I didn't care until he open his filthy mouth to disrespect my faith. I'm not mad because he's gay, I'm mad because of the blasphemy.

[cipumba]

DIVINOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Putarronisima]

Como puedo tocar y cantar tan bien... SIMPLEMENTE UN GENIO... NO PARES NUNCA!

[yadiravg12]

this song is on lego rock band, great song i love it

[djurvideos]

Ahh, I love this! Thanks for uploading :) I wanna see him in concert again soo bad! Been twice so far. Elton's been one of my biggest idols since I was little. Even named pets after him, lol

[pieguy130]

This is some of the most amazing piano jamming I've ever heard!... it's absolutely phenomenal! I mean, have you ever tried to play this? My teacher and I are slowly going through it by ear, it's an amazing song

[andlastly]

[mozboz1]

[rockingdylan]

listen to them clapping and watch them dancing out in the crowd

that's what elton does he pushes people over their supposed excitement capability(how excited you can get)

rock on elton!!

[rockingdylan]

elton has had an impact on anyone who heard him atleast once

elton john is gay

stevie wonder is blind

little richard is well... i dont know but

michael jackson is ...michael jackson

but what makes these stars real "stars" is their music and their overall status as humans meaning how they act,michael jackson,little richard,elton john and stevie wonder all wrote classical pieces that made them stars not their personalities

[LinkBulletBill]

Jon Lord is the best keyboardist!

[chase4609]

lol michael jacksion is michael jacksion lol that was funny

[rotnakleugim]

jackson not jacksion

[arneblij]

@rockingdylan You're talking like being gay is a disability..

[nananacomeon]

being gay is equivalent to being blind? it's like a cripple?

[rockingdylan]

elton has hads an impact on anyone who heard him atleast once

elton john is gay

stevie wonder is blind

little richard is well... i dont know but

michael jackson is ...michael jackson

but what makes these stars real "stars" is their music and their overall status as humans meaning how they act,michael jackson,little richard,elton john and stevie wonder all wrote classical pieces that made them stars not their personalities

[Nick5012penguin]

I like when he was younger, in the 1970s

[arauco4444]

The title says solo but not because elton john was gonna have a solo section it just saying his only singing with his piano no guitar or percussion

[salsacow]

It says solo because he is not playing with his band.

[mortenkul]

He didn't play Any Solo :(

[beerlands]

he means he is by himself and not with a band

[mortenkul]

This song and '' Teacher I need You '' Were the first 2 songs I heard from Elton John and it was They! - Who got me into his music! =D

[NetoGoliasArtes]

Solo !

[bobdole9696]

This song was what got me into Sir Elton's music. I love the nostalgia in this song. Of course, I grew up listening to his music from The Lion King. What a wonderful musician and person!

[goingtobeapilot]

Yea, im gonna join in on this one... I'm 16 and my favorite 2 musicians are Billy Joel and Elton John! PS I cant wait till they go on tour in 2009!

[vespar12345]

im a teenager i and i love this music but im not a geek or nerd im a popular student and most my friends from my experience love this music, so some of you are wrong about thinking teens hate it

[chrisstudy83]

The one and only!

Amazing!

[MyMyMichael]

Umm yeah ... I think someone peed in

HarmonixProductions' oatmeal this morning. It's cool that you kids love this stuff, and there's nothing wrong with you saying who you are, what you think, and feeling good about it.

[edinburg14]

im 10 and ive loved elton for forever! but thats cool barnabeee. u c most teenagers hate this kindda music. u rock!:)

[HarmonixProductions]

See heres the thing

1. your not a teenager

2. who cares how old you are everyone likes music no matter how old you are, i am sick of people saying "im 12 and i like this music"

[barnabeee1]

[johnnythemusicguy]

awesome song

gonna go see him in september

[KubaaPOLAND]

Where??

[ESB1138]

It's hard to find someone as good as John

[ESB1138]

His sexuality has nothing to do wich his talent on the stage.

[Greekpeople1]

@ESB1138 Tell that to that jackass, the dj that was taking requests and I asked for him to play Elton John, and he told me he doesn't play gay music...

Such people like that dj and everyone that have a problem with gay people, they have insecurities about their sexuality, and they think they will sound more macho if they laugh at gay guys... :P I am straight but I get so angry when they laugh at gay people... It is like laughing at someone for having black hair or for being short...

[thedude77777]

when u can play any nstrument as good as him u come and TALK SHIT!

[jerseyboy18]

exactly.

[jerseyboy18]

lets see you do that good asshole! u wanna talk so much shit abt elton john, u play then.

[ThePoomed]

[chase3042]

[oldman123456789]

Tell me about it maxb162...

[Young008]

i meant search box not searc.......

[Young008]

great rating 5!!

type young008 in the youtube searc box

[animemangalover11]

Is it just me or was that last finish note a bit sucky? lol But I would give it a 9/10 performance.

[John19182004]

Elton could outperform you on the piano with BOTH hands tied behind his back and his eyes blindfolded so take you 9/10 performance rating and shove it up your ass you stupid ignoramus.

[animemangalover11]

Hey now, I'm a HUGE fan of Elton, I love him dearly and I think he has one of the greatest talents on the piano, he has inspired me to learn myself! So I'm just being truthful, 9/10! It would be a 10/10 but that last note did it for me. Everyone has their own opinions, just keep in mind I didn't mean to offend him by no means, like I said, I'm a huge fan of his!

[John19182004]

if you know ANYthing about piano playing, you know what probably happened was he started to get up as he played the last chord (not note.. CHORD) and although he hit it right, just pressed down ever so slightly another note so you hear something "unordinary"

It's a 10/10 like everything he does.

[animemangalover11]

Do you have any life at all then to just comment on other people's comments?! You know, I don't care how he made the mistake, it still happened! So fuck off and watch more Elton vids

[John19182004]

how about you not criticise someone who is exceptional at what they do? Are you that little of a person to focus on any one thing negative? Why dont' YOU fuck off and stick it up your ass. I'm OUT.

[animemangalover11]

Alright, amen, we're getting in people's way on youtube! I never back down from an argument!

[alisseblom]

haha true dat.

[emathebrave]

wow hes a legand, some crazy piano beats

[LordOllieV]

absoulute classic! a real footstomper :P

[AlanMoorefan]

This is my fave song ever

[bobdole9696]

mine too! absolute number one favorite song.

[maxb162]

Great version - great piano work. As a piano player myself, how that man can make a piano and vocal sound so good is beyond me!!
