@John O that is great. I am happy for you that this song saved your life literally. I know where you're coming from I almost put a knife in my chest about 9 years ago. You keep strong and stay focussed on yourself and your family
Finally! One of the biggest solo artists of the 70's. And beyond. He had over 50 top 40 hits in his long career. Please try Crocodile Rock, Tiny Dancer and Border Song. Too many hits to mention and many of his album cuts rivaled his hits! A true superstar! Please do much more Elton John!
@@Coolrockndad lmfao! You asked a question and I answered it. YOU: "Who doesn't like Elton John?" ME: Me. See how that works? You didn't ask why I can't stand him, did you? If you don't want an answer, don't ask the question.
If you've ever watched "Dancing With the Stars" you might recognize someone. The lead dancer... the dude in the S&M/Biker leather, the doorman being showered with gold...that is Bruno Tonioli. One of the judges on DWTS.
I forgot just how high energy this song is! 1983 was so long ago. I was a young kid then and remember this on heavy rotation on Mtv and the radio. It's great!
You should do more Elton John! He had so many great songs. Like Your Song, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Daniel, The Bitch Is Back, I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Empty Garden and many more...
I love Empty Garden and The One There are so many great songs that he has done Bernie Taupin has been collaborating with Sir Elton for 50 years or so Bernie usually writes the lyrics and sends it to Elton and Elton composes the music around the lyrics It's fascinating that they have been doing it and they work separate if each other I mean Bernie will do the lyrics and send them to Elton in the mail and then Elton works on adding music
Carol Butler all those songs are fantastic you listed. I forgot about Empty Garden how can I forget about that song it's such a beautiful song. I think she should react to empty Garden
The dancer in the leather cap and leotard is Bruno Toniolli who is one of the judges on Dancing With The Stars and the British version Strictly Come Dancing.
Seen him live about 15 times at least. His shows were always killer. Such an artist and performer. His catalog is extensive. There isn't a video to this song, but if you really want to treat yourself, give a listen to Funeral for a Friend/Love lies Bleeding and think about the fact that this guy hears this stuff in his head. Scary talent.
My grandpa always listened to "Sad Songs" and "Nikita" on the tape deck in the Camaro, so those songs are really dear to me. My mom had a 45 of "Crocodile Rock" so that one is also one of my favourites. There's so many great Elton songs though.
Elton really did surprise people when that song came out...he was to the point of being considered washed up by a lot of people...music was changing, the fans were younger that listened to popular music...and so yeah, he got right in there and made another generation of fans when that music video came out and the song...which was right in line with popular music back then. Elton has a way of keeping his music fresh. If you ever get a chance to listen to one of his other songs, I really would like to suggest HARMONY....it's a pretty soft rock ballad...about a girl coming back to her lover....with both knowing they are both right and not so right for each other.
My first favorite of his . . . Many years of listening tho. Did you notice a familiar face among the dancers? Bruno Tonioli of Dancing with the Stars. So cool to see him in action!
Elton John "The One," released in 1992, is probably one of my favorite songs by him. And one I almost never hear anywhere. Totally underrated, beautiful song!
@@taoist32 Hmmm I'm not sure I agree. It was unusual, for sure, but it still had that Elton John flavor that I love so much. he definitely got more poetic with that song though. ♥
My 21 yr old son saw the Elton John movie and called me afterwards just to say he remembered watching this Elton John video with me when he was little.
Elton did a great duet with Mary J Blige, a song called "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues". They both sound great, but her voice is next level. 😘
Elton John is amazing - so many types og music, som many feelings. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is still one of the greatest albums ever. "Sacrifice" from 1989 is also a winner
My favorite singer back in the day! My daughter almost got named "Harmony" after one of his songs. She thanks me all the time that we didn't give her "that hippie name". Ha ha! (She's 39 now)
India...fun fact. Did you know that Bruno Tonioli from Dancing with the Stars was the lead male dancer? I have always loved this video, and I will always love Elton.
Here's an interesting piece of trivia. It's the beginning of the song the first time you see the dancers. The guy in the black women's swimsuit basically in the black hat is actually Bruno from Dancing With the Stars. He's a judge as he used to be a dancer
Absolutely love Elton John, try"tiny dancer","Mona Lisas and mad hatters","Levon","rocket man","burn down the mission","bitch is back",so many great songs more Elton please ☮️
Do you watch Dancing With the Stars? Bruno Taniolli one of the judges on that show pretty much stars in this video. He is the guy in very skimpy black throughout most of it. The guy leaning against the column who Elton puts the gold glitter in his hand is Bruno. I believe he may have helped choreograph it also. And as for Elton songs may I suggest Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters , Tiny Dancer, and Levon.
@@asherdash12 so young. I didn't realize he was in it until he mention on DWTS like the second season he said " When I was in the south of France with Elton I looked up the video. You can so see him if you know it's him.
70s Eltohn John is completely amazing! 80s Elton still has moments of greatness. Since doing the music for The Lion King, he's become too 'Disneyfied' for my liking. Overall? One of the greatest artists in the history of music! Undoubtedly! :)
It was a mega hit, that was a gorgeous album, haven't listened to it in a while,."Blue Eyes", is absolutely beautiful song, and his version of the Beatles "Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds ", magical, I like his version better, has more otherworldly sound, sense. MTV played this video ALL THE TIME, I loved the video, seeing Elton dance a little, and at the end showing off the many wild glasses he wore,(he made glassed even cooler, more than other performers like Buddy Holly, Elvis Costello,), only other cool glass wearer Jeff Lynde from ELO, course are sunglasses 😉, the video fit Elton,.he's always been a showman, and that shone through with all the painted people, acrobatics, the uplifting energy of the music and the lyrics, he went beyond Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive ", He was like I'm not just surviving, I'm thriving, I'm blowing up and revamping like a Phoenix, from the ashes. I dont know why he wrote this song, but like Bowie, Elton seem to be reinventing, he'd already been in the business almost 20 years by the time he made this, maybe more. Do check out more of him, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, awesome writing, Funeral for a Friend, Benny and The Jets, Social Disease, All the Girls Love Alice, Saturday Night's Alright, , his other album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, (wow a mouthful), don't know why he gave it such a long title, anyway, good songs, Tower of Babel , Bitter Fingers, Gotta get a Meal Ticket, Dont let the Sun Go Down,, , great album, Elton and Bernie Taupin, are a brilliant duo, then there's his work on movie Tommy with The Who, Tommy was ohh God a masterpiece ROCK OPERA!!!, only other one better than Qudraphenia, also done by The Who, "feel me, feel me, touch me", lol been so long forgot the lyrics, just check it out!!!, Peace ✌, enjoy!
I highly recommend Sugar on the Floor. It is definitely not one of his most popular songs and is actually a cover of a Kiki Dee song (also covered by Etta James)
You should listen to "Skyline Pigeon" (the piano version, which is on the "Don't Soot Me I'm Only the Piano Player" album) by Elton John. It's a beautiful song...Elton played it at Ryan White's funeral.

Elton John "I guess that's why they call it the blues" is a great song.
That, and Kiss The Bride make up the three singles from Too Low From Zero.
I love that song
@John O that's a great song as well but Someone Saved My Life would be a fantastic song to react to
@John O that is great. I am happy for you that this song saved your life literally. I know where you're coming from I almost put a knife in my chest about 9 years ago. You keep strong and stay focussed on yourself and your family
@John O I think the trick is to work on yourself to become better. I tried to do that everyday but sometimes I do have my failings

Who doesn't like Elton John. Love his music.
Me. I can't stand him!
You can't just say "I can't stand him" without leaving a reason why, other wise you come off as a troll.

Seems like Bruno isn't as popular as he should be! I love his part in this song.
I always loved this song. Easy sing along, peppy tune.

Empty Garden
I love Empty Garden and The One There are so many great songs that he has done Bernie Taupin has been collaborating with Sir Elton for 50 years or so Bernie usually writes the lyrics and sends it to Elton and Elton composes the music around the lyrics It's fascinating that they have been doing it and they work separate if each other I mean Bernie will do the lyrics and send them to Elton in the mail and then Elton works on adding music

58 Years of Performance Excellence. And He’s Still Standing. Elton and Bernie Taupin are pure Geniuses!
This song helped me get over a BAD breakup in early 1983.I"ll ALWAYS love Elton!
What a life of ups and downs.He has been an icon for 50 years or more.Great song for his life.
BEST ending to a music video ever. The scene where it stops on Elton behind the piano, turns black with the yellow in the background. AMAZING!!!
Seen him live about 15 times at least. His shows were always killer. Such an artist and performer. His catalog is extensive. There isn't a video to this song, but if you really want to treat yourself, give a listen to Funeral for a Friend/Love lies Bleeding and think about the fact that this guy hears this stuff in his head.

Loved Elton John since the early 70’s. He is my man!!
one of my favorites from Elton! A Song that cheers me up!
Gotta love Elton John, I was a pre teen when I first heard him and I'm going to be 56 next Thursday
I LOVE this song. It makes me happy
Candle in the wind will bring tears to your eyes
Brought up on this music scene records and roller skates for sure.
Damn GREAT song, iconic artist with such supreme talent.
Wow! This song takes me back! Love Elton!
One of my favorite songs by him! Memories.. summer of 83’. Just graduated from high school. Wildwood NJ! ❤️
Me in '84 ☺ We had so much fun
My 21 yr old son saw the Elton John movie and called me afterwards just to say he remembered watching this Elton John video with me when he was little.
Finally its good to see somebody give elton his due on all the react shows. Thank you India for doing this.
80 s bodies we all need this song... sometime
Sir Elton!!! One of my most favorite!!! Love, love to see Slayer open up for him. My two favs!!!
This is my favorite Elton John song. Thanks for Reacting to it.
Omg, I never knew this was Elton John’s! I really love the Taron Egerton version, awesome to know it’s one of this legend’s original works. ☺️
'Saturday Night's Alright (for Fightin') by Elton. Great song that shows his rock n roll side.
Very upbeat! Nice review. Elton is a genius.
Love your reaction to this amazing song and music-video of Sir.Elton ❤❤❤
Someone Saved My Life Tonight and Empty Garden(Tribute to John Lennon) are Great!❤🎶
Elton did a great duet with Mary J Blige, a song called "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues".
They both sound great, but her voice is next level. 😘
Go see his movie “Rocketman” & watch how they recreate this video with the actor who played Elton John.
They were damn near perfect at the recreation
Derek Carpenter because they edited him in the video... the movie was outstanding though
I just watched. Rocket Man last night. Jaw-droppingly good movie. This was written for him by Bernie Taupin when he came out of rehab.
This song always pumps me up! :):)
Elton John is amazing - so many types og music, som many feelings. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is still one of the greatest albums ever. "Sacrifice" from 1989 is also a winner
My favorite singer back in the day! My daughter almost got named "Harmony" after one of his songs. She thanks me all the time that we didn't give her "that hippie name". Ha ha! (She's 39 now)
I'm so happy you did some Sir Elton John💋💟
India...fun fact. Did you know that Bruno Tonioli from Dancing with the Stars was the lead male dancer? I have always loved this video, and I will always love Elton.
Love Elton John, love you too!!
Watch the musical Rocket Man if you ever get the chance. Its loosely based on his life. Elton John is just a legend. Great reaction!
I remember when this video came out. Love it. So humorous.
One my favorite songs....very up!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Elton John! More of his, please, India :)
I love all of Elton John music. Love Levon
Definitely a song that makes you want to dance.

I think this video is filmed in the South of France and inside footage is inside a museum, 🇫🇷😉
"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" "Candle in the Wind" "Harmony"
Please react to "Someone saved my life tonight" by Elton John. Such a sad/beautiful song.
My favorite Elton John song
"Something about the way you look tonight" " I don't want to go on with you like that" by Elton John. Fun song, "Club at the end of the street"
Love the song, now I'm trying to get that video out of my head.
Amazing that no one does any reactions to Elton in his prime (Hunky Chateau, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Caribou, Don't Shoot Me, Madman Across...etc)
Love Elton.

I grew up listening to Elton John
Madman Across the Water is a must!
Freddie Mercury and Elton John next to each other sounds EPIC!
"Sacrifice" by Elton John also good
That was off the first Elton John album I ever bought - "Too Low For Zero"
Elton John was a good friend of Freddie Mercury's☺RIP Freddie💋💟
Elton my go to singer
Can’t even begin with Elton...where would you start?
Funeral for a friend, Daniel, Someone saved my life, Tiny Dancer...
Someone saved my life tonight
Tiny dancer
Goodbye yellowbrick road
Your song
are some good ones to check out
The dancer in black? Recognise him? That's Bruno Tonioli, the judge in Dancing With The Stars!
I love seeing Bruno from Dancing with Stars in this video.
Ironic footnote to this song, in the late eighties at a concert he fell off stage while performing this song....... True story!!!!
Released in the UK as “I’m still stood there”
- “I’m still stood there (background singers: ‘guv-en-nah’).
I highly recommend Sugar on the Floor. It is definitely not one of his most popular songs and is actually a cover of a Kiki Dee song (also covered by Etta James)
You should listen to "Skyline Pigeon" (the piano version, which is on the "Don't Soot Me I'm Only the Piano Player" album) by Elton John. It's a beautiful song...Elton played it at Ryan White's funeral.
You should spot Bruno Tonioli, the judge from Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing With The Stars! (red pants & black t-shirt)!
Bruno from dancing with the stars is the dancer in front on the beach
We both posted that about the same time
If you're a fan of "Dancing With The Stars", one of the Judges, Bruno Tonioli, is the dancer in the spiffy high cut black outfit ;-)
This song was a tribute to him getting off drugs and alcohol. Pretty sure he came out with this right after he got clean.
Nice vibes India.!😁

Check out Madman Across The Water, Tiny Dancer, Levon, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Someone Saved My Life Tonight and/or Ticking.
This was the point where Elton went from being an important musical artist to an MTV hack.
"I Want Love" by Elton John features Robert Downey Jr.
Sooooooo good. And “This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore”.
