It's obvious Billy Joel's voice where you guys think Elton was lip syncing, notice that the voice sounds nothing like Elton's, and if you've ever heard Billy Joel it isn't that hard to spot.
elton john is a very cultured man and he has a gift talent thats something you do not see these days the justin beber, katty perry they have no talent elton john will go on forever with his timeless music
He's a perfectionist and a professional. He doesn't have to answer to anyone so he won't cynically "bodge" if things aren't right. We can assume that somebody was paid a lot of money to ensure that the sound systems and instruments were working correctly prior to the arrival of the audience.
@vomitinyourface yes thats what it sounds like to me...so does he NOT sing in the concert?..after all the boo hoos he makes about madonna not singing that would be very sad and disappointing.
@OriginalRockstarJosh I agree Britt spears and mad donna are vile are'nt they, do you mean faggot? its an english word, look in a dictionary. Peace and love to you too.
@permaveg Um. What do you mean he got caught himself. He was singing with his real voice and the piano pedals were sticking, you can hear the piano messing up. If he was miming,... nevermind. You're obviously an insult to inbred rural America.
No, thats just latency. video reaches your eye before sound. common problem in industry. also, video takes more time to process getting audio and vid out of sync
Entre los segundos 30 y 35 el tipo está puteando a alguien (mirando a un costado) pero cuando gira la cabeza para cantar la voz se escucha incluso antes de que llegue con la boca al micrófono. Está haciendo playback!!!!
From what I can tell Elton really has a great ear. The audience seems to agree here, but assuming he has final say in his albums over the years, he has good acoustical skills regarding live or recorded material.
He hardly stormed off, he just said they were going to stop untill they get the piano fixed, so he could do it properly. And to those who are talking about lip syncing, how stupid are you? that's billy singing the 'all my pictures' line. No seriously how stupid are you, I mean are you this stupid everyday or ?...
@ISamuelII He hates it when people call him that. No offense my friend just a friendly warning. Who knows you might have the pleasure of meeting him some day just call him Elton. You don't want to get him angry my friend.
@ExodusPessoa I doubt I'll ever go to another one of his shows, but when he was in San Diego with Billy Joel I was about twenty seats back from the stage and between songs I was probably giving his ears a sour note yelling "REGGIE" over n over in a cracked voice. One of the people I went with was too far over the top in fandom and I was making fun of them by doing it. Maybe he really got bent over that. Kudos to Joel for barfing and not missing a beat. Coke n booze can do that.
@moeighty8 He is not lip synching. He is in concert with Billy Joel and they were not singing together and It was pissing Elton John off. He is a perfectionist. Billy Joel came into a verse a bit too early.
Oh, was he even singing at all? He certainly wasn't singing "all my pictures" when the backing track was. He was mouthing something completely different...^.^
to say he, 'stormed off', is an exaggeration. He obviously wasn't happy with the sound and politely told the crowd that they were get it, 'sorted out', rather than to continue and give a less than adequate performance. At least he had the honesty to do this. I hope those who set up the sound, etc. beforehand got a bollocking.. not at all professional, unlike Elton John who wasn't happy with how it sounded.
@JFredUK did you even read the description, if not here it is.
The Inaugural concert at DC's Nationals Park is marred by piano problems at the beginning. Elton John storms off stage because his piano's pedals are sticking. (He later returned and brought the house down, mind you)
one thing for sur at this concert when Elton Left Billy got his band on and kept playing until the Tecks fixed Eltons Piano Dont know why elton couldnt just stay on and sing but billy got his band on stage and played for about 25minutes till all was well and the show went on for over 3 and half hours ROCK ON BILLY
Because being a piano player myself, I know how annoying it would be to have a pedal thats causing shit. He wanted to do it right, Elton is so good to his fans. ROCK ON ELTON!
@JohnTaupin Having been a piano player for many many years i know that on stage things can go wrong, But when you can clearly here Billy Joel saying keep going let me play it then why did he stop As the say "The Show Must Go On" I love Elton but in the case he was in the wrong
The fans were just clapping & waiting. Billy & Elton were entertaining us, and Billy thought it would be best so they did their set first. But then they just picked up the set at the end and gave us an amazing performance to end on.
Excellent as if some of the fans were saying they are wasting our time - if they know Elton & Billy they would know they will do the full show no matter what happens!! Billy is fantastic he kept them entertained anyway!
I take it Elton then came back on while Billy amongst other people tried to fix it. Then it still didn't work so they swapped round and Billy went first?
