I was at the concert and she was much better than this recording shows. I was not wowed or anything but this recording doesn't really do it justice. There was a technical issue just prior to her performance and she had to sit around and chatter to fill the time and she did some piano improvisation that just floored everyone. I would have liked to hear a little more of that, as did everyone in attendance.
I guess everyone commenting here is a fan of Vanessa's. As a fan of Elton's, I have to say very honestly that not only do the vocals totally SUCK, she took a great song, and made it sound less than mediocre.
Sorry, Vanessa fans. I know I'll get a lot of negative responses to this, If you want to hear great covers of this song, listen to George Michael or Oleta Adams.
i'm a nessaholic but i don't kno when this was either lolz

It's always difficult to do a cover of a classic song, so I give her props for trying, but the key she is singing in is too low for her.
Still love her <3

This was recorded at the NAMM tribute to Elton in 2003. Indeed, it is Elton's band backing her on this performance.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Are drugs free where you are from, not even close to a good cover. I have seen 20 bar Karaoke drunks do it better.

It's V... give her a break. It's pretty good considering it's live. And no.. I'm American. Nothing's free.

She did great on piano though. Maybe not as good as George Michael and Elton John with vocals but good enough.
