Ellie's voice is soulful, those cracks are her singing at her best with heart poured into it. She has magnificent vibrato in her voice. She is also likely in the middle of her concert, it probably not her first song of the night, therefore she is out of breath, not out of tune. That audience loves her, as well as myself. I love you Ellie :) You do Elton John so much justice he would applaud you for making his song even more heard!
What is up with people more concentrated on watching the concert on their little phone/camera display, instead of enjoying the experience of actually being there?
Really don't understand why the video with Ellie singing this on Saturday Night Live was removed from YouTube. There are many videos of singers singing on SNL that remain on YouTube for years. The version she did on SNL was easily the best one I have heard. It gave me goosebumps, and shivers up and down my spine. Such a shame it was removed, and I still don't understand why. I they will keep THIS one up, then why not THAT one? It was BETTER--MUCH better.
OMG I love her, i love this!!!!!, please check my cover of this song!!!, i know we have different type of voices but i did my best and my version of it! i really hope you like it, please help me this is the first video i upload i have just made my own youtube channel and if i get more views and subcribers my dad will buy me a studio microphone :D so please help me ♥
Please thumbs up this so others can see.
God bless you all and thanks for reading this! xxxxx
OMG NOOOO NOT ALREADY! Oh god.. i think she's gonna be a Britney Spears wannabe wit like.. no clothes? God.. i wish she was normal like she was before
Im a 14 year old girl from london, who, like many other youtubers, want to make it in the music business. Been playing guitar for about 6 months and have been singing ever since i was little and have never wanted to do anything else, but become a musician.
It would be absoutley amazing if you checked out some of my videos-it won't take long. but, with your help, my dream can become a reality! Thank you & I hope you check out some of my videos:)
I love this song and this version and if the second top comment saying that people think she wrote this song is true, then whoever thinks she did write this song is completely stupid and totally out of the times I mean really how could ANYONE not know that this song was written by Elton John?
Performance artist surely different than others, having that connection with an audience and sharing a fleeting moment in a song like this is the reason people come to concerts.
I think I died a little bit inside, how everyone is giving her credit for this song, and how people are doing covers of it and putting her name in the tittle...
in the 90-ies - there is a lighter in everybody's hand.
now - there is a mobilphone with HD camera in everybody's hand.
At 2:07 I love the way how the security man looking for... i don't know... a gun??? lol, it's a lyric song... and who would hurt her? And it's not a heavy metal or a rock concert either. It's just funny. :) But okay, it's his job... :)
BTW, I love her songs and her voice and that she can sing great in live too!
@illuminateholidays regardless she performed it and did a hell of a job, she isn't trying to take credit for the amazing she is singing, just trying to sing it, and she does it nicely...sooo if you wanna listen to original go do that...but were watching this one...
I too am struck by the multitude of cameras here, and singalongs at British concerts in general. She's so sexy it's distracting- I was way more moved emotionally just listening to an audio track of this, not knowing what she looked like. Now, I'm focusing on her legs... My... God.
Why is everyone recording this on their cameras and phones? Instead they should actually watch the performance and remember the moment and the atmosphere themselves, rather than just having it to show other people :/
@Owener94 i understand what you been but the reason a lot of people take videos is for the exact opposite reason, it's so you can replay the video again and again and it feels as though you were really there at that time, the buzz you get. and it captures the moment. just because you video something doesn't mean you can't watch it too :)
@Owener94 seems you haven't been long to any concert, else you'd know it's actually possible to do both those things.. and it's not like some metal songs when you wanna jump and would not be possible to record a video
@loomysh I have... but my mate wrote what the top comment is not me, in my opinion i'd rather not record though to be honest. Maybe a short clip like this perhaps. Yeah I get what you mean about the last part too
@Owener94 Why be cynical about things like that? Let people do as they please, no need to go tits up about it..if they'd like video footage then they're more than entitled to it..
I like that everyone is into the song and enjoys it, but you can't hear someone singing as well when you yourself are singing the same song. Nor can I hear her over the crowd's "singing"
@SpentLyric actually performers are very glad when the audience sings with them, you can see how she is smiling when they sing along.. the song is much more powerful when the audience joins in
@me0ha0ha What is considered "decent" these days? Or even to you? She's dressed amazing here. You're obviously not familiar with the English style. Different than the ordinary style you see most people where from day to day. Oh but you see someone dressed "oddly" and different so you categorize her as not being a " decent role model." Sad.
I got bored one day and thought I want to do youtube videos! I do vlogs and singing videos.. Not many people look at them but i love to sing.. Maybe if you spend a few minutes to look at my singing covers! Comment subscribe and please tell me what you think!
