  • That's a fairly conservative outfit.

  • My take they both have diff styles... Who cares who's better... The song is much more impotant!!

  • erm i got moneys

  • Godammit, OF COURSE John's was better, it will always be the best! But for a COVER, Elton is one of the few that actually pulled it off.

  • john lennon lot better

  • Magic !

  • John Lennon seemed to believe more than Elton in those lyrics when he sang Imagine, but this is good

  • @anaamee No, I think Elton is doing that what John would have wished

    for. He is carrying on the belief that John put into words. It is a form of

    immortality. Probably, if this Earth continues to exist, there will be a museum

    of music where the kids will look at vids and listen to music and go AWWW. when

    they hear such genius.

  • @agora1955 Agree sorry will post l8ER!

  • wonferfuf wishes xxxx

  • No one would have guessed in a million years that three months later he would be gone.

  • esse sabe !!!

  • ¿Qué es lo que dice en el 2:45? Debería decir "dreamer" pero parece decir otra cosa

  • @zamanixo95 He said you might say I'm a "Screamer"

  • @zamanixo95 Dice ''You might say i'm a screamer''

    es una improvisacion que el hizo en ese momento :p

  • @zamanixo95

    Yo pienso que dice "Steamer" pero, no estoy segura. Porque, "Stearmer" se utiliza para decir "Gay" en inglés como "Fairy". :)

  • Imagine if Lennon is still alive :D

  • lennon was better........

  • @recon294 it's just a cover version...geeezz

  • @mrgb46 i love elton to death but as i said lennon was better.......

  • Good cover from a friend & fan of the original singer/writer. I especially like the fun Sir Elton had when he changed the phrase once to "You might say I'm a screamer" !! Come on...any fan of John Lennon has to laugh!!! John must have loved it!!!! It's exactly the play on words which John always threw into live performances in order to drive Paul CRAZY ! (Back as far as: "She'd love to..Yeah, Yeah, Yeah). Brings John back a bit when I think how he must have enjoyed it! Thanks for the post Reg.

  • One of the best piano players ever. What he did in this song was briliant.

  • imagine if elton didn't cover this song!

  • einfach cool

  • absolut Super!!!!

  • Simplesmente MARAVILHOSA!!!! :)

  • BEST.COVER.EVER.

  • Without music... life would suck so bad. So thankful...

  • Very good cover!

  • NICE cover ♥

  • He sings great. But I don't like his version of "Imagine", the original it's so much better than this. Just saying.

  • @MrCerebrain <<<<hmmm

  • ONE LEGEND COVERVING ANOTHER...

  • i think this is the best cover. Period

  • Interpretação simplesmente maravihosa. Linda voz, exímio pianista...adorei!!

  • The Best Pianist And Singer In The World ;)

    

  • Best cover i've ever heard of this song

  • Great for 240p. Great cover too.

  • Definitiv einer der großartigsten Sänger der Welt!

  • 絶頂期のEltonです。すばらしいの一言です。途中での笑顔が­いいですね。

  • Liked

  • love this song <33

  • wonderfull music

  • bela interpretação Imagine de John lennon

  • I was there. Unbeleivable memories still linger. Hard to believe how much time has passed.

  • I find Elton oddly sexy and boyish in this.

  • i am german, but i like the original

  • A tribute to one of the greatest musical artists of all time, by another of the greatest artists of all time... just enjoy and remember.

  • na ich bin erregt

  • AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • Damn, i just found this, its CONgenial, meaning just awesome. Its a big surprise for me that this exists, and i am downloading it right now 3 minutes after discovery.

    But then, wht else to expect from him? Another guy does all the lyrics, he turns it into beautiful music, turns the lyrics into perfectly composed songs, initially mostly using the piano but now the full scale of what a band can deliver.

  • hmz wer is deutsch

  • Q BUENOS RECUERDOS

  • @cado300 exactly, I mean at the moment (i could be wrong) we have enough resources to support the entire population, that is if everyone wasn't so damn greedy...

  • Песня вечна Элтон лучший не смотря на то что гей!!!

  • @4CaHeK he wanted like true communism, where everyone shared resources, no authority figures telling you what you can and can't do, just people living together in peace. Although it's impossible for that to happen because of all the douche bags in the world

  • @mrdutchmandan almost like a one world nation but better

  • @4CaHeK

    He wasn't a communist.

  • No he not look like paul wesley he looks more total as Young Jim carrey :D

  • He sings about communism, i think.

  • @4CaHeK most people like americans and yourself believe communism is a bad thing, maybe read a book someday

  • @CFLsurfr Most Americans do, now all of us do, in theory Communism is a good idea

  • @CFLsurfr what made you think I think communism is bad thing?

  • @4CaHeK  this is song is not about political crappy systems. If that is what you get out of the song you guys are lost, really lost.

  • @MegaPapaturro I thought I was the only one who thought this way. People are so ignorant. It's a song about accepting and loving each other.

  • Comment removed

  • INCRIVEL

  • Looks at the suggestions. The list of videos appears legends like John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Princess Diana. I don't know what the hell appears together with them Lady GaGa and Justin Bieber dating to Selena Gomez!. FUCK WITH THIS NEW GENERATION!.

  • john lennon we'll miss you wish you could have lived to see your influence peoples lives

  • youtube.com/watch?v=E5eC6RstHo­I

  • lol just turned 18 and want to learn what fun is all about

  • He's look like a Paul Wesley:P

  • do you believe if it is steve jobs who talked at the beginning of this mv? i believe.

  • @rtj182 It's Michael Douglas...

  • hm Always a good time with me

  • ■エルトン サイコー

  • I apoligize for my ignorence, however i still think it was disrepectful to Norma Jean and Princess Dianna, i also aploligise to all the the gay people in the world for my comment "faggot" everyone inthe world has the right to be who they are whith judgement who am i to judge him or anyone else and i did listen again and i feel bad if i offended anyone i am truely sorry, imagine that i was lost for a moment God Bless everyone and imgine a brother hood of man and woman, Peace to all

  • @arpitothchild He was John and Yoko's son's Godfather. He reunited John and Yoko after his Thanksgiving Concert at Madison Square Garden where he got John to perform live after a half a decade hiatus. Learn your music history before you bash Elton for honoring his friend at the biggest concert in Central Park's history.

  • @arpitothchild Cool that you apologized, it is rarely seen here! About "Candle In The Wind". Elton's lyricist, Bernie Taupin, wrote it but not specifically about Marilyn..although she is used in the song the intention was to be about anyone young who is cut down in their prime and not left alone by the press. BT was contacted by EJ to write a new song for Diana's funeral on short notice, BT thought EJ meant for him to rewrite CITW as stations were playing it in tribute to Diana. See Part 2..

  • @arpitothchild Part 2...When BT gave the revised CITW lyrics to Elton, he was told about the mistake but there was no time to write another song as a matter of fact there was barely time for Elton to learn the new lyrics. Elton was terrified during the performance that he would forget the lyrics, he didn't but what pressure as it ws televised & he was grieving as Diana was a friend. So no disrepect was meant to anyone. The beauty of music is that we can all interpret it differently :) Peace!

  • elton john has NO right singing this song he lost my respect when he plagerized his own song, Candle in the wind was written for Marlyn Monroe and it is a beautiful song and then he changed the words to make it Princess Dianna's song, how pathetic is that a great entertainer like that. He didn't even have enough respect for Dianna to write her, her own song. F__K YOU elton john. You now suck,and the queen knighted the little faggot,

  • @arpitothchild , just shut up. It's for memorize John Lennon, and theye were friends. so he has right to sing this song

  • @arpitothchild JUST SHUT UP ,and LISTEN

  • Am I the only one digging his outfit !? ♥

  • see how he puts his mouth on the mic when he's singing...it's cause he gay and loves cylinder shaped objects in and aroud his mouth

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed shut the hell up, you're not funny.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed fuck off you asshole, it doesn't matter if someone's gay or straight, it's what makes them happy that counts.

  • @craz3killa lol gays should kill themselves..shouldn't you be getting aids from you fag lover right now? The reason aids exists is to kill of gay people...it's nature.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed curious that you, someone who dislikes gays and what they are, would even consider watching a video of a gay musician...hmm also curious that you chose youtube to speak your mind on the issue, but that doesnt really matter, because there is really only one person who even cares about what you have to say.and that is the coward who said gays are the reason that AIDs exists. its just sad that cowards and ignorance still exists in such an ugly and repulsive form.

  • @freaksrkool15101 don't worry I speak my mind in public too lol... yup I love aids killing them slowly

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed coming from a guy whose username is "Genius self proclaimed" you're truly an idiot.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed So all the millions of children in Africa for example deserve to die of Aids because there Gay? I desever to to die because I am Gay? So then all the people that smoke must surely desever to die of cancer, You disgust me that you think people should die in such a horriable way because you are too narrow minded and to hateful too see otherwise. Maybe it's you who should take a walk in another persons shoes, see the millions in the third world dying because of Aids.

  • @vandegevel1 lol gay people have a life expectancy on average of 20 years shorter than straight people explain that??? like I said nature hates gay people..

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed Self proclaimed you maybe be because your ignorance is overwhelming, hurtful and thought less. You are not a Genius far from it. There are a number HIV and AIDS misconceptions. Three of the most common are that AIDS can spread through casual contact, that sexual intercourse with a virgin will cure AIDS, and that HIV can infect only homosexual men and drug users. Other misconceptions are that any act of anal intercourse between gay men can lead to AIDS infection.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed In Canada, advocating genocide or inciting hatred against any 'identifiable group' is an indictable offence under the Criminal Code of Canada with maximum prison terms of two to fourteen years. An 'identifiable group' is defined as 'any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.' It makes exceptions for cases of statements of truth, and subjects of public debate and religious doctrine.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed Considering your comment is not a public debate " Gay's should kill themselfs " . nor is it a statmeant with any truth behind it, it is a statemeant of pure evil and the intent to be hurtful and inciting hatered to a certain group of people. Intresting enough you are breaking the Candian law. One other thing genuis Dutch sounds nothing like English. Ik kom uit van Nederland en woont in Amsterdam I also have a dutch name van de Gevel. And Amsterdam is a Gay Capital.

  • @vandegevel1 lol breaking the candian law (what the fuck is that?) ...if you mean Canadian, no i'm not it's called freedom of speech.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed No it's not actually, unfortunatly it's under. Advocating genocide or Inciting hatred agais identifiable groups. Your statemeant is a comment with no truth, it cannot be debated and is not of religious doctrine. Limitations to freedom of speech may follow the "harm principle" or the "offense principle", for example in the case of pornography or hate speech. Limitations to freedom of speech may occur through legal sanction or social disapprobation, or both.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed At this current moment in time you are being reported to Youtube contacting support, a copy of your comments and your user name I'm sure they will be able to get your IP nummber from there. has been pasted with a formal complaint and a reason why. It will be for them to decide what action to take. Have a nice day.

  • @vandegevel1 uh oh ...i'm scaared...they going to find my ip address to bad I share the same server as 50,000 people....lol my ip changes everytime I log in...

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed vandegevel1 is mad bro..

  • @linck15 lol i Know it's pretty funny...he mad because he though the google police would come and get me and ban my account, but they probably laughed at him. 

  • @linck15 Maybe I am mad, maybe not. What I am is sick of people thinking they have a right to hate others. Young people that are commit sucide or are beaten up or murdered because of who they are sexually. Everybody has a right to be who they want to be without being in fear or hurt cos of others. Imagine if all the people could live together and be at piece.

  • @vandegevel1 no matter what we do people will ALWAYS hate. maby you just dont want to say it oyut loud. but you also hate somthing/somone or somthing someone might be EVEYONE judges.and hate on the internet is HIGHLY usuall... dont like it? unplugg

  • @linck15 I think think I've stated clearly what I HATE, I Hate people thinking they can hate others for what they are. you and genuis seem to just be two trolls. Have fun hating others and have a nice day/evening what it is Sweden.

  • @vandegevel1 wow awesome you checkedmy page where it says i live in sweden... nice one. it is night here. i aint a troll. i am just saying. i think you hate more then that. it isj ust that you dont want to go agains your self

  • @linck15 Because I've stated my own opinion. When you've lost people in yourself due to peoples incompetense because they were too scared, felt they had nowhere to go and that death was the only out then you would be feeling angry and hurt by those sort of comments. There are many people if you scroll down that feel the same way as I do over Genius comments. If it answers your question though I hate Spiders :P.

  • @vandegevel1 you hate spiders?! dude thats racist....

  • @vandegevel1 yea, but there more people who feel the way I do...it's mainly because we're on an elton john forum that there's people agreeing with you. Face the facts most straight people think what gays do is fucking sick and wrong. There will never be a day I live where i'll treat a guy who wears dresses and lipstick, talks with an accent, has aids, and likes to fuck other guys in the ass the same as someone who likes woman...sick fucking people

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed Many young Gay men do kill themselfs every year because of peoples comments like yours and attitude towards them. Personal I feel giving comments like that is just as good murdering a person themself..maybe unplanned murder, but it's still things like that drive people to the thought of killing themselfs. Driving people to murder threw emotional abuse is just as bad as doing the act in person, and is also a criminal offence atleast in the UK.

  • @GeniusSelfproclaimed haha well i know how to spot a troll when i see one. good day :P

  • man,sir Elton John was hot :)))

  • wonderfull music

  • 2:45 lol :) made me laugh

  • Elton John is beyond bitterly gay lol. How's the taste of teh Mic johnny?

  • @xyzaffair12345 Youre wise ass attempt at stand up comedy sucks big balls. Grow up. Smh.

  • Elton sounds classy no matter what he sings............love you Elton!!

  • im not joining you this time, elton...wow that sounded gay... but i mean i am religious

  • @billymayer1000 what john lennon meant when he wrote the lyrics to this was that he hoped one day people wouldnt be too proud of their religions. wars and conflict have occured due to relgion, and if people could accept people having different values, it would be a much better world.

  • @toSTONEiGO i know he wasnt very religious, its easy to see what he could have meant by that, like how he was saying we should all come together but turn away from our religious offiliations, Thats what I hear.

  • Elton prevail

  • Only Elton could have do that. Thank you Elton. John Lennon was a candle in the wind.
