Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues: Video

[cate1958]

my favourite EJ song

[brianisaacs]

i simply love you more than i love life itself, one of the best lines ever!!

[mamajohnston74]

@brianisaacs

yes it is :)

[littlejerseygirl]

I've loved Elton's songs for years, & i've never cared about his orientation.. He's just a superb & talented musician with a hell of a lot of money & is still going strong after close to 4 decades!!! Elton John Rocks!!!!!

[d44102]

so what if he is gay the guy can sing i could care less of a persons PERSONAL life elton rocks

[claytonjester]

im not too much for elton john, but this song is very, very good

[bigfootskitty]

Hey, If A persons sexuality decides how talented one is then Elton John and David Bowie must be the most talented performers ever, Cause they're switch hitters. They can fix your roof, and still have the good taste to pick out your draperies or tailor your trousers later! just kidding, (PARODY) Shallow minded thoughts intended to be humorous, not intended to be taken seriously! besides some gays actually have no taste at all!

[str8starbust]

man ths guy can sing

[jimlucie]

LOL, you cant fix stupid. Rock on Elton. You're one of the best.

[lostbylightening]

i wish i could watch one of his videos without a talentless prick commenting on his sexuality. i'm sure elton john cares what the narrow minded percentage of the population thinks, they should take a look around, their opinion is outnumbered.

[DRPadmologist]

who cares what his sexuality is...enjoy the music for what it is!

[HOLLYWOODCASANOVA]

CLASSIC SONG !!!!

[xXxrob764xXx]

what if he's gay. he is still a nomal human being and a great musician.

[QuisSeparabit1977]

good song shame hes a faggot

[clairestarrocks]

shame you're retarded. lol.

[THEBOUCLETTE]

All the gays fucks you .

[ny13isles39]

[freifactor]

I like how you can post a comment. period. about a video, and a day later you receive replies that are impertenant and insignificant to the subject.

[ifuckingfarted]

Kinda like this msg. This reply absolutely is worthless the only reason I am doing this is to help make your point. :)

[freifactor]

Thanks for the support! ;)

[GlcFlynn]

Lmfao this is completely irrelevant but I fucking love your youtube name :')

[iamnotsoren]

Now you've got me interested, whose name are we talking about?

[GlcFlynn]

The "Ifuckingfarted" guy XD

[gamesfrome]

My favourite :D

2nd Sorry it seems to be the hardest word

3rd I'm still standing

But those are mine :P

[blulicious2]

elton is god

[WrexsouI]

Except that he is bi.

[see21lady]

no hes gay

[CinnamonTwist88]

"laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunders under the covers..."

[Holydragonhealer]

Probably the only song i like from Elton John

[freifactor]

Im about to embark on (another) military voyage. Although my wife doesnt approve.. shes 100 percent beside me. This song ( and the video) says it all. I love my wife with all my heart , and if ever there was a song to sum it all up this would be it.

[willisonatnight]

Try not to kill any children

[omitchell04]

Elton would slap you for saying that about both because he's the epitome of gay and black, and he's a great man!! I wish he could meet you right now. Have a lovely day though!!!

[womwert]

u sad bastards, why u taking ur time to comment on each others coments, just enjoy an amazing song

[frampngracie]

yes exactly....

[frampngracie]

lumberjack actually seems to be ridiculing the earlier ppl who insulted him and said he was gay and worse than a N(bad)... thus why he said pick on blue eyed ppl... it's totally silly to discriminate against ppl for their eye colour...

[hungrylumberjack]

No the user was referring to Elton John. I was pointing out that his argument can be applied to other static traits like eye color as well.

[Crezz33]

fuck u and kill urself

[hungrylumberjack]

You are gay! You make me uncomfortable because I find what you do not to my tastes! You are black! I find your skin color frightening! I express my discomfort through angry insults relating to traits which cannot be changed!

Note: In future attacks on character, try picking something like eye color! Damn blue eyed people! I hate them because society favors blue eyes in it's common perception of beauty!

[nattersgirl]

as to hungrylumberjack... did you have a bad child hood that you have to make comments like that... there is enough hate in the world that don't belong.... if someone hurt you in the past... talk to that person instead of making comments like that...

[hungrylumberjack]

Apparently the reply feature in you tube is only letting me post and to reply. That was a response to an earlier post by pruane2isafag.

[Alphabetsoup27837]

Yeah I was just listening to Dying Fetus

[ChrisPrayForPlagues]

Lmfao :L

[radioactivemongoose]

This makes me think of two people, one I used to have and one I may not be able to have... :( But still a beautiful song.

[buzzwise]

Reginald K. Dwight!

[ACHADAGAULA]

OH SWEET MEMORIES....

[mcul2112]

can't believe how much i remember from this video from when i was a teen.

great song.  thanks for posting.

[GoblinKnightLeo]

Even I have to admit, sometimes Ill look up this song just because.

He's quite a musician.

[darby98765]

Elton john is truly a legend, he has a passion that can't be faked and is an inspiration to us all.

[walkerth58]

I'm Cheryl Ann Ellis..... no!

[stevieg67]

cheryl anne ellis......i simply love you more than i love life itself.....plz marry me xxxxxxxx

[rareoats]

well... did she say yes?!?!

[fearbeforefearbefore]

Badass. And this is coming from an 18 year old kid who really only listens to obscure screamo.

[xanos4225]

Right on man. It's cool to explore other genres of music other then what's considered "popular" or whatever at the time.  Glad you like it!

[Poppenhuis]

Elton John ftw!

[RaniSenka]

this song is ALWAYS playing at my work lol drove me nuts but now i love it

[samanthaEd900]

[nikita1280]

[XxGiNgErBrEaDxX]

[Scumchrist]

What a whore...

[ricardofucker]

i go to umass dartmouth and everyone knows me just because my name is Elton Jhon, but im not gay, but i support them

[IntristicValue]

no one thinks your gay because your name is Elton John.....They think you are gay because you go to Dartmouth...

[ricardofucker]

lol u are funny man, at least i go to college

[nintendojunkie21]

Wtf is wrong with Dartmouth?

[superjoelucky12]

This song is so damn good.

[76solange]

[timmy47]

[wrestlingfan2254]

I heard this on Family Guy and my dad said it was a good song so i listened to it and now i love it

[mootoo05]

This dudes a fuckin ICON and great vid/song

[tcaf90]

Omg Elton John looks so weird in the second half of this video! At least it's just weird to see him that way. lol

This is a great song, though.

[mootoo05]

Are you kidding, The Pompadour RULES!!!

[tcaf90]

Hahahah It does! It was just so shocking at first!

[amycocker]

Right tune!!

[25paulwalsh]

hi amy

[amycocker]

Classic song!!

[formersoapfan8492]

I recall 1983...and the Elton John of 1983. I was 3 years old and saw him on MTV in this video and I'm still standing. I thought that this man was old enough to be a 75 year old grandpa(he was only 36 at the time)

[1975ledzeppelin]

is a great song, thanks Elton

[miranger]

Thank god for youtube ived had this fuckin song on my head all day and i just had to get on here and listen to it for a few times before it went away hahaha funny thing is i dont even know where i picked it up! I just know that i love it... but WHY!!!

[supermorgan94]

i first heard this song in the car...

it inspired me, to kill myself,

but its a good song

[Nesoja]

:O .

[lsfrnndrndnyst]

This has to be one of the greatest love song of all times! I love it! And I guess that's why they call it the blues!

[ShadowPoet666]

3.23 , my uncle :)

[famouse99]

I love Elton Johns music! Although I may not agree with some of  his choices, I'm not God so I won't judge. Instead I'll just enjoy his music, that I do agree with ;)

[bonitablancita34]

i always loved this song i think he is an amazing artist

[tailura]

underrated song in my opinion.

[chrisbridges71]

Great piano playing!

[NOSaints08]

Just curious, wasnt he married at the time this song came out in '83? I knew he was married at some point, just not sure what time period

[poakakuri]

great song beutifully sung

[GennaMGL]

thanks 4 the post love the song genna

[mactheartofwarfare]

The Greatest Melody Writer Ever In Popular Music

[dtheman17]

Elton John is fucking amazing...That said whoever disagrees is a fucking retard with no sense of good music. I am not gay by no means nor do I give two shits about his sexual preference all I know is he can make beautiful song's. You gay bashers need to grow up. I just don't understand how you can hate someone who sing's so incredibly wonderful all because he doesn't love women...it's really sad

[HitMeQuick]

dtheman17 calm your pants darling. All that rage won't do you any good. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and it is quite possible to appreciate Elton John's music (as I do) whilst also being repulsed by his preference for arse sex with men.

[georgechris8]

I still want to know why in 2009, who you choose to sleep with really matters at all?

[fudgemanofdoom]

i'd like to know why the year is important, but i guess we can't always get our questions answered, can we?

[custardandspence]

I dont hate gays just his shitty music

[hosemasterg]

if you dont like his music...why are you here....go to stuff you like...dont waste space here...yes im expecting a childish ignorant response...will you disapoint (question mark)

[wldfan]

I dont understand why people look up music they dont like, just to complain either????? So why do you Idiots do it!

[mactheartofwarfare]

With That Reponse You Probably Are Homophobic

[VisMajorX]

He doesn't care if you support his lifestyle or not, neither does anyone, nor did they ask for your "support". I mean to be how old (?) and not have a clue about a single hit song by someone who's had his music played nearly to death for the last 30 years. His "lifestyle" isn't any of your business but odd, you know anything about it and not his insanely long string of #1 hit songs. And yeah, PAs right, this is about the music, frack your opinions of him.

[PepsiownsCoke]

Although I don't really support his life style, there is no denying he is a Musical Genius. A few months ago I didn't think I knew a single EJ song. Then on the Radio I heard this and asked my mom who it was. She said "Elton John." Turns out I've been listening to his music my entire life and I always will.

[x0x0beeches]

leave elton al0ne bitches

[PosingAddict103]

ah yous all should stop fightin over this thing and just sit back and listen to the song and enjoy it =]

[anthonyg788]

This ^

[WARPIG023]

Bendito sea DIOS por traer gente como Elton John a este mundo.

Cada que oigo su musica, mi corazon siente paz y amor.

L

[qdjill]

Great song!

[IntristicValue]

my 7 year old daughter just asked me who this is singing the song, I said his name, and said he was friends with royalty and everyone in the world knows who he is.. I then said the whole world is blessed that this man was born.. You punks can say what you want.. But, jealousy is just so ugly.. sit back and enjoy what Elton John brought to this world.. What no one else could. I know I will. and Elton if you got your ears on.. Thanks partner. Sorry the world ever got in your business

[LukeL007]

What has Elton John done besides perform music? Celebrity worship has got to end.

[IntristicValue]

why don't you find out Luke... check out his charities and everything else the man has done outside of music... oh and by the way... other than being a negative punk with probably no friends, what have you done in life again ?... What great achievement have you pulled off ??... Nothing.. ?.... Seems about right for your personality.. Thank You God for Elton John and his tunes.. and thanks for keeping Luke a complete loser like he deserves.. appreciate it.

[skateboardjumps]

you know celebrities do that kind of stuff for publicity right?

[MurlocHat]

So, NO celebrity is at all kind or compassionate?

Idiot.

[skateboardjumps]

and you have to find out from me? pathetic

[IntristicValue]

tell your momma she should have bought you a book instead of a skateboard... when it comes to talentless hacks like paris hilton, I agree.... those kinds of celebrities can rot in manure.... but not an artist... they need to be supported.. Tell me Tony Hawk doesn't deserve props for his work in skating..

[daveaimelesmilfs]

couldnt say it better myself

[MurlocHat]

errrrrrr

I'm afraid this doesn't apply to anything anybody said. Please die in a fire.

[skateboardjumps]

i dont even remember what i said xD

but ok will do thats exactly how i wanna die anyways =]

[LukeL007]

Like I said worshiping celebrities has to end, I am dirt poor and still give whenever I can, it may only be a couple hundred a year but it is all I can do. Why do we praise celebrities for their charity but not the common man on the street? When was the last time you thanked a disabled veteran, or a bell ringer?

[CadreauSam]

CLAP CLAP CLAP!!! I Totally agree 110%

[er1ca08]

Well if you took the time to actually look and see what else he does you wouldn't need to ask yourself this question. He has raised over 150 million dollars for his foundation which helps to find a cure for aids and help families affected by aids. In 1990 he heard of a story of a little boy who got aids from a blood transfusion and Elton took a stand and helped the boy and his family deal with expenses and trying to create a better quality of life for him. Just a couple of the MANY things!

[ProjectDingmans]

Well, for one, dumbass, he spends millions each month fighting AIDs. He gave away like 20 cars that HE owned to people that need them. Donates to charities all the time. It's like he doesn't even want his money. Fucking shut your mouth and get your facts straight before you rag on people. I'd love to see your lazy ass on the street begging for money so I can kick you in the face and make you swallow your own teeth. Faggot.

[LukeL007]

Jokes on you, I have no teeth from a horrible genetic disease which also gave me cancer and bone destroying tumors. I also find it funny you use the term faggot in a discussion about Elton John and AIDS.

I like Elton John's music, but don't idolize him or anyone else, millions of people give huge amounts of their earnings and time to charity and they get no mention at all, but a celebrity does it and we should think he is great?

[WARPIG023]

Simplemente amo a este hombre, mas de lo que amo a esta canción.

[Gamecs2]

and while im away

dust out the demons inside !

andi t wont be long

before you and me run

to the place in our hearts

where we hide

[xXCamillaFawnXx]

It's funny to think that I used to hate hearing him for some reason (when I was a kid) My sister and I were washing dishes like two years ago and we wouldn't stop bickering, so my mom put Elton John on as a planned punishment. "Durban Deep" came on and I was like, "Hmm? *looks around* Mom I think your plan backfired." I've loved his music ever since =P I borrowed my mum's CD after I finished the dishes actually lol.

[olivermarcrodi10]

Sandra, só o tempo poderá dizer o nosso destino ,mas desde já posso dizer ,é o momento mais lindo na minha vida ,beijossssss.....

da pessoa que te o amor muito grande por vc

[chrisvargs]

MY FAVORITE....

[xxhousexelfxloverxx]

... it's not really a break up song.

But either way. It's the best song ever. It came on while I was at work and I started singing along; it made me so effin happy.

"and I guess that's why the call it the blues. Time on my hands will be time spent with you. Laughing like childern, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers, And I guess that's why they call it the blues"

Ah, gotta love the man.

[irishcatholicgirlie]

I think it says could be time spent with you

[ChampionDriver01]

Thank you!

[Peanuttalovesnuts]

yeah he is a fudg pirate

[omitchell04]

Sir Elton needs to go on a slapping spree. He should start with your little face!

[Kelly1282]

awesome breakup song. I love elton for this stuff
