I'm sure Elton would have gladly traded one of his early mega-hits for this song back in the day and never given it another thought. Stunning all the way around!
If I was ever given the choice to hear one more song in my life, and nothing ever again.. this would be the song.. EPIC, PRICELESS.. what a masterpiece! Genius
@studovicmedia You know, I feel absolutely the same way. So beautiful, bring tears to my eyes. The first dance with my wife on our wedding day was to, Joan as Police Woman's "The Ride" but it should have been this song!
It's good that on both version they hold back on the vocals i think. They could both easily just go for it, but i think the song would lose a bit of it's charm without the witheld vocals. Tis beautiful and vulnerable this way.
@ShifulChoudhury ofcourse the version of ryan is beautiful as it is the authentic one, but i think elton did a great job to make this song his own.. he really put his own touch to it.. Exactly because of the fact that i really love this song i am curious about all the covers (with keeping the most beautiful original version of Ryan in mind).

Brutal. Elton John should stick to wearing Donald Duck costumes while singing "Benny and the Jets".

I would have liked to here a 30-year-old Elton sing this in the upper vocal register. He was the Sh*t once upon a time.

elton can take any song and make it sound like an elton john song. Great performance, as is the entire CMT evening.
