why is the audience talking , laughing, and yelling and carrying on?

o right, they came to hear sir elton. but have no manners and are really missing out.

@granniemir it was a big open air concert, the talking and stuff couldn't really be heard on stage

I am just so grateful that he played at the Arias else I would have never discovered such an incredible musician.

[ididjaustralia]

Cool eh?

I have an idea people. Shut your eyes and open your soul. It doesn't matter if this beautiful person is black, white, catholic, jewish, indigenous or even a scouser (my humour). Listen to stunning, moving music. I don't understand the words but do i need to? I was blown away by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu the first time i heard him. I have never heard anyone like him.

[writerman242]

imagine coming gto see Elton John and then getting to see a REAL artist. how can they be nto listening? says we live in a world where nobody can hear music of the soul sung in the voice of an angel..poor things all of them

@genitalful You're an idiot mate. I am happy to enjoy this music and to let others make up their own mind. Why are people so obsessed with forcing others to adopt their beliefs, opinions and tastes. Just let it be!!!!

[StarCoded]

This voice and these songs are a powerfully healing resonance.

[eapotheosise]
