@@JAYV45_ He has lost a lot of weight compared to earlier this year.
@@JAYV45_ wdum wdum? 🙄Go back and take a look!
Elton: I'm gonna change my glasses, so I can actually read
*puts glasses looks exactly same but with correction*
Elton: And here we go!
Lmao
Hahahaha
Probably tinted reading glasses
They don't look the same.
Really - what other kind of reading glasses would he have? Flamboyant reading glasses - I WANT some!! And I don't even need them yet.
he is always so well-dressed and charismatic. my respect and admiration for this man only grow💙
🎵🎵🎶🎶💕💕😘😘 👈
he has more money than God! 😂
💖🙏🌻
@@byjamie-hillierrubis god doesn’t have money..?
@@byjamie-hillierrubis but money doesn’t buy you class or charisma...you have it or you don’t; Elton does.
Thanks for loving and listening to my music I really appreciate that alot dear and I would.love to know you more if you're don't mind dear❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does he even know how cool it is for a long time fan to see Elton John looking at Elton John, saying the titles of albums and songs, looking at the album covers? For some reason, it hit me hard to see him acknowledging those very same albums I've had in my possession for well over 40 years. Him looking at the same photos I've looked at for so many years. But moreover, knowing how much of himself went into this box set makes it even more of a reason to get this set.
Hey, Elton! You were not only played in our home when I was a child in the 70s, but you were also part of the entire home, my childhood. My mother, my older sister, and older brother kept bringing your albums home week after week. My brother handed down a copy of Captain Fantastic (books, poster, and all, and a consistent skip on "Tower Of Babel" I still hear today when I play the song). The Christmas my parents got him Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and on that old 8mm home movie he opened it up to show the three-sided gatefold still burns in my memory every time I hear "The Ballad of Danny Bailey" or our favorite track, "I've Seen That Movie Too". The day I heard "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" when I was 15 let me know, you didn't go away, and was thankful you were still producing amazing music. Or the lawns I had to mow to get a first-day release copy of 21 at 33 in 1980 at the age of 12.
Since I was 5 years old in 1973, you were a part of so many things. From that Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on Christmas, you my first lawn-mowing job, to my teens in the 80s into everything but pop music, to my first marriage where "Your Song" was our wedding song, to my son's birth and "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer" played night after night feeding him so he'd go to sleep, to the 90s when I started working radio and received new copies of every 90s album you released... you were there. Everywhere. All the time. And to this day, I still love your music, your concerts, music videos. So, thank you, Sir Elton. I will be first in line to buy this box set and spend a few hours alone with my self exploring NEW-old Elton John. Thank you.
(Not that I think you will read this, but I just had to go there).
I loved hearing him mention ‘I Fall Apart’! A great song from a very under appreciated album!
What a beautiful post
Legend
I really hope he reads this. You should repost it to all his social media. I reckon he'd bloody love hearing this. It's such a genuine heart felt compliment, Elton needs to hear this 😍❤️
Well said.
Usually The Unboxings are boring, but with Elton Jhon everything is good ...
I love his great personality. Sir Elton makes every gloomy day bright
He is lovely.
l had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times x xx
@@neilmccann5593 I hope I have that privilege someday. He is my first hero.
We’ve lost so many great artists to drugs and alcohol. It makes me so happy to see Elton John is still here with us and thriving because he got the help he needed in time. We’re so blessed to still have such a gifted person still here on Earth.
Sir E. You are looking absolutely fabulous!
Love you, Elton.
As always looking sharp! Can’t wait to see you in NYC in 2022! ❤️🎹🎼🎧🎤
in alternative universe: ‘wassup, guys! Elton here, today we’re gonna unbox...’
smash that like button
If they give an award for the design of a box set then you have won. It is beautiful! You are beautiful! That jacket is amazing! Love you always and forever Elton. Thank you for being you ❤️🎹🎵🎼❤️
I decided to write your lyrics to say how much I love you ...One of them is...
"How wonderful life is while you are in the world".
The second one is "More than ever I simply love you, more than I love life itself".
Thanks for your songs, thanks for Bernie's lyrics. I love you both forever.
From São Paulo - Brazil
I remember hearing your music coming from my sister's room and that was when I was hooked on you it was around 1970 .
I was 11yrs old. Congratulations Sir Elton.
Your sister had/has great musical taste. ✓
My first experience came in a cereal box. Something about the way you look tonight!
So cool that he did this and showed to his fans. The Box set is something like I've never seen anyone do and so detailed. I love his colors of his dining room and of course his jacket. Doesn't everyone think he looks so young still? Well I'm certainly passing this on so others can enjoy this video. Thank you for all your music all these years and I think this is spectacular🎙🎶💿👍
This video was so much fun to watch. It's a chance to feel like I'm having a conversation with my hero, in such a relaxed way.
May I comment that the jacket you are wearing here looks beautiful on you. Dear Elton John, thanks for this. Good to hear you speaking to your fans - your enthusiasm makes everything look brighter. I hope I get to sing along somewhat at a concert again - that gave me so much positive energy.
Elton John the best!! 🎶
You look amazing! Very beautiful box set as well.
His style is fabulous 😍😍☺️
Thank you Elton for this gift!
Thank you Elton and Bernie! Love you.
Love Elton John. Back in 1978 I did my senior thesis on him and got a 95.
THANK YOU ELTON FOR JUST BEING YOU!
Elton you have always been my musical idol. My two daughters were raised on your music,and now my grandkids. Thank you for all your incredible music, and all the incredible charity work. Even your tantrums, it’s very entertaining! 😂❤️
I told myself that if I got this life and career-changing job, this girl from Alabama would finally be able to see Elton live. My dad, when I was a child, introduced me to rock and roll through Elton John and ZZ TOP (from Elton, specifically the "Made in England" album, with "Blessed" being one of the songs that meant the most to me). My father passed away when I was 12 and I told myself that one day, one day I would see Elton live for my dad (as well as myself because I love his music). I now live in the UK and have LANDED that job ("I'm Still Standing" got me through job rejection after job rejection and finally the day I interviewed FOR that dream job). If nothing changes, with that first large paycheck I'm going to book a ticket for his farewell tour. My dad would be so excited for me. In a way, Elton helped to give me my sense of wonder and desire to see the world from a young age, as well as the drive to keep fighting through the hard times... and he'll never know how much that has meant to me. I just hope I'm going to be able to get (and afford) tickets. XD
*From Alabama to the U.K.? You've gone far. Your Dad IS proud of you!*
Happy for you! And I assure you, Elton is worth every penny! Hope you get tickets!
Goodluck with your dream. Hope you can get tickets. I had to beg my parents to death for mine and the cheapest we could find were like almost $300 with taxes. Most we have ever spent on concert tickets but Elton is worth every penny. :)
Last time we saw him in Richmond he played over three hours! It was fantastic.
I've been to 2 of his farewell tour concerts with my sister. I also bought tickets for my grandson to see him with a friend. He said it was the best concert he has ever been to. He is 26 and has seen all of the Hip Hop, Rock, etc. bands. He now has a collection of Elton John everything. Most of them are gifts from me. I ordered this set for him as one of his Christmas gifts. He doesn't even know it exists. The 2nd concert that I went to.....my sister and I had the first row on the floor middle seats!!!! It cost us more than 11 regular concerts would, but it was amazing to be less than 15 feet from him. Definitely go and see him. I wish I were able to travel to see him at his last concert. What is the dream job that you got?
ELTON!!!! 👏👏👌
Love you.. will have it.will love to know if your no commercial favourites are mine too....thanks for all the love you have spread to humanity . Love you so much. Proud you to be my favourite musician...
He is just so wholesome and naturally loveable, its nuts.
Like hydrogenated peanut butter.
Thanks for all the years of great music Elton - Life would've been shitty without it. #Legend #GOAT
Elton is proud of his life's journey and receives comfort in sharing his experiences & his music. He's a real trooper. We love you Elton.
Elton you are amazing !
FINALLY, something GOOD in 2020! ❤ Thank-you and much love to you Sir Elton. 💜
Can’t wait for the explosion, what a true Legend and icon, he’s songs are soul satisfying
Love this makes a great Christmas gift. Elton is the master love his music forever 💕
Thank you Elton. What a fantastic idea!
long live sir elton john. The packaging is very nice indeed , very good
Elton John your the greatest
The new boxset sounds and looks awesome! So happy Elton/Bernie were and are so hands on with this new release. What a treat. Also..Elton looks 40! Looks happy, healthy and still has so much passion!
love you so much Elton!😘 you're looking so healthy and young!
Brilliant Sir Elton John.
Elton is a jewel . His music has been and still is part of all our lives .. Loved watching him on tv at Live Aid. Benny & The Jets was spectacular.
I love the fact that Elton John mentions 'The Union', one of the greatest albums released in the last 20 years. Highly recommended.
I preferred The Captain and The Kid, but that’s just me!
They worked together so well..
@@foxpianocovers Me too ... 'And The House Fell Down' is one of the best EJ songs no one seems to know!
@@groofoot It's a sad fact that that is the only song he never played live from that album...
@@foxpianocovers Dang, I didn't know that ... I Love that song! Wicked piano solo!
Elton John a legend in our own time. Bernie and Elton super song writers. Box set is incredible. Thanks Elton for picking such an assortment of songs that are brand new treats for us. Cheers
I love the fact that this was filmed vertically lol. Lots of love fans from indonesia ❤ the box looks wonderful looking forward to get it soon
Thank you Elton...Thank you Bernie....Your music has been a very big part of my life since I was 12. Stay Gold
I was 12 as well, back in 1972
I'd love to meet him someday!!!! What a musical legend!!!
Elton is one of the all time great singer/ songwriters. Amazing career. Multi platinum albums. Thousands of concerts and millions of fans attended. Keep playing Elton. Thank you to Bernie too - memorable lyrics and your support band who sound brilliant live.
Book looks interesting. Always had a fondness for the music. And, Elton John himself. Loved everything he has ever done. Much love to David and Elton.
I've always loved elton's enthusiasm for music. His own and other people's. He needs his own radio station. EJ the DJ.
Had the pleasure of seeing Elton John at Red Rocks , 3 hour show, simply amazing performer, and the band was spot on.
I was there too! Great show from the Jump Up! Tour.
Visited red rocks last year, unfortunately it was only a short sightseeing visit but I bet the concerts there are fantastic!
I honestly don’t believe I would be here today without your music. There was a song to get me through every situation I had to deal with growing up.
I received my Jewel box today ! It is so beautiful 😍 I'm going to wait to listen to it when I can be alone and savor it! Thank you Elton and Bernie!
Elton is the real Jewel in the Box. I’ll cherish him forever
It's beautiful! The things I miss about albums are the liner notes. This is a dream and boxed beautifully.
We're in a swirl of chaos and you reading from the book is a great start to the day.
Brimful❤
Thank you so much for putting this together. I love hearing you talk about the process of revisiting these songs. Truly a gift of love to the fans, and we love you!
I'm so excited! I can't wait! Thank you for opening with us! Amazing!🎶🎶🎶🎶🥰🎶🎶🎶🎶
Always good to catch up with one and only EJ. Can’t wait. Kindest regards!
An amazingly lovely set at a reasonable price just in time for the holidays. Elton is adorable anytime he opens his new merch 😊
Excelent xmas gift for my son i love love your jacket you look perfect as always love it 😊😘
Thank You Elton John for all of your wonderful music! Thank You for being so authentic with your fans! You are so appreciated! God Bless!
Best style of the century
I was fortunate enough to see Elton (my first time) last fall in Edmonton, and I have to say, it looks like he has lost a lot weight.
Staying healthy I hope!
It was sad to me (43yo lifelong fan) that this was the final tour, and because of it, I splurged - for me, it was an incredibly expensive pair of tickets, but in the end it was a wonderful night, he put on a fantastic show, and I can now say that I have finally been able to see Elton John live :)
The way that it ended was really the cherry on top of it all;
Everything and more that you might come to expect from 'Captain Fantastic'.
You're lucky that you saw Elton even one time! I've never seen my Elton live in concert; I wish I WAS DEAD! 💔💔💔💔💔💔 But, I thank God I have my Elton DVDs, CDs, books, magazines, and my piano! I have some emojis to give to Elton: ❤💋🥇😁👑💎👏💪👌👍🙏💋✌🏆🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@Elton John My Dear Sir Elton, I am a 48 yrs.( & counting ) fan of yours, Darling! I, as a considerate & Loving 💓💘 fan of yours & underSTANDING kind person that you would know how I feel. As much as I love my 🚀Man, I'm kind of glad that you cancelled 2021; as you are a very caring Father & Husband. You & your 3 boys ( as you so lovingly call them ). You have worked your bum off all of your life; even before "Bluesology " You've always thought of your fans & other people before yourself! Now it's s time to take care of My Elton & your 3 boys! If anyone complains about you cancelling 2021 concerts due to covid; I'll tell them off as they are not Real ELTON fans! As you would sing " The Bitch Is Back "; Well, that's me when need be! By the way, I had my DNA tested & I have 5% British in me. YAY! I'm so proud to have British blood in me; as My Elton has! Only 5% , but, it's better than nothing! I love your singing, piana playing & ALL of your Great HUMANITARIAN work for people all around the world! Thank you for being YOU. 🙏💓💘💕❣💖💜💙💚🧡❤ 🚀 xxxxxxxxxxxxx 🚀 I thank God that I have your beautiful voice on my cd's. You are the Greatest, My 🚀 man! You have SARTORIAL ELEGANCE AS WELL AS SARTORIAL ELOQUENCE! 🥰😇 p.s. My Elton please give me a rocket & a kiss! 🥰🥰 🚀 🚀XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 🚀
Elton, you’re considered family in my family. Since birth your music is on my rotation.
I’m sending this to my dad now! He supplied your vinyls growing up, and I’m grateful for both of you! TY!
Listening to this treasure trove on a rainy day here on Long Island longing for Elton John Live at Nassau Colliseum in 2022!! "Peter's Song" deserves a shout-out. So does "Things Only Get Better With Love". Dang, they ALL do!!! Beautiful songs, beautiful poetry. I have enjoyed tracing echoes of other songs in the songs in this box. God bless Elton and Bernie and all the people and stars that aligned to bring their music to the world.
I don’t even have a working CD Player but I must have this! Elton, your music is the soundtrack of my life. So much gratitude. Wishing you so many blessings! 💜💜💜
ELTON JOHN i love you💜💜💜💜💜
He looks fabulous. slimmer and sharper than years before. The Corona retirement seems to be really good for him.
Love you Elton, can't wait for the Box set and to see you again
Agree with all you wrote
Happiness arrived to you!
Finally I can see it on your face.
❤❤❤❤❤
Elton you're the best
👁❤you, Elton, 48 yrs. & counting! You're the best singer & piano player EVER! God has BLESSED us with your Beautiful Talents & HUMANITARIANISM! 🚀 🚀 XXOO! Stay Healthy (& your 3 boys) & Mask Up when you go out, my 🚀 man!
Chloe- such a beautiful piece. Thank you Elton, and Bernie.
ELTON, YOU LOOK DASHING AND FULL OF HEALTH!!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR MY COPY TO ARRIVE!!
Hello Debra, I can see you are tripping lol .. he got the swag and charisma, my favorite of all time ..GOAT
@@marshahbina5519 Amen amen!! Elton is a constant on my grateful for 🙏 list.
I have to say Elton looks great! Happy to see him healthy and stylish as ever!
I met Elton at his book signing at Waterstones. What a kind, lovely gentleman who absolutely adores his fans. I can't wait to buy this Jewel Box.
I love you Elton John. I hope u can come to Asia again in the future. I listen to your music every moment . I hope you will notice me one day
@Elton John prayers lifted for you all and fans. Jesus loves u
Loooove Elton and Bernie!
Elton, you look so good!! Thanks for this personal tour.
My Elton always looks good!
Elton John I have been a fan since I was a pre teen. It tickles me to see u on u tube promoting your box set. This is a great way to promote it. Straight to the fan. Any way when will u be releasing remastered old concerts? Like the concert series u did over the summer? I am still waiting on a remastered concert you did with a orchestra in 1972? Fan forever!
Elton I think you should definetly play more obscure kind of songs! I love them so much ! i really wish youd play them more live! i love the hits but i also love the songs that arent that well known or songs youve performed less live. For example Club at the end of the street, ive seen that movie too, part time love, and soo many more :) love you Elton❤️
I’ve seen that movie too is in my top 5. Hopefully he’ll do an obscure concert residency after the farewell tour...that’s the plan.
YESSS!!! As much as I love his hits, Elton's deeper cuts are FANTASTIC!!!
I also love I've Seen That Movie Too. Not a weak cut on GYBR.
@@mikemprov1303 Jamaica Jerk Off is the only song I’m not crazy about
And we love you right back, EJ!
@Elton John Okay, “Elton.” 🙄 You might want to brush up on your English before impersonating a genius.
Amazing style Elton. 🥰
Sir Elton could do more blogs, I would watch his life all the time
You always look so sharp in your dress. Not a hair out of place. Your beautiful glasses. Am going to call the book store and see if your book is available now. Thank you Elton John ! You are a grand treasure as an entertainer and a grand human being!! Wishing you the best for you and your family always!!😘🙏❤️
I Got My Copy Of Elton Jewel Box For Christmas - I Am Loving Reading & Listening To It! ⭐
💚💙💜 Elton you look great!! 😎🎹🎤
@Elton John 💚
Down to earth and lovable! This is pretty cool. Love Elton, and appreciate his, and Bernies, collection of work. Best to Elton - he deserves it.💕
I absolutely adore this man
I can’t get out of my memory seeing you at Werribee Mansion I think it was the rocket man tour how you walked on stage sat at the piano played and commanded your audience like an angel. Your audience were totally in awe and loved filled the air that evening. You’ve done so much in your life and you’ve been through so much and yet you still remain humble. I feel your music only aged in time like a good wine. My son born in 1981 I named him Daniel, and yes he’s been to Spain. He took me to one of your concerts in Melbourne a few years ago, the moment in time I cherish forever when you sang the song Daniel. Many musicians loose their mo jo as they get older, but you are still standing better than you’ve ever been. I adore you.
this is adorable and i LOVE your jacket!! yowza.
Excellent .. Great memories thank you 🎶💜
Grande Elton!!!
I love this message from Elton, so candid doesn't seem prompted or edited, quite natural .. and talking about the box set, which in essence is him talking about his records.. which of course is his passion, collecting albums and singles... but this time it's HIS work. This IS a fabulous box set, love the artwork and photographs. I still have the vinyl singles with the b sides, which to be honest was the reason I bought the singles. He was always very good value Elton, through-out the years he always had a different track as the B side, not so much in the late 90's onwards.. but its great great that everyone has a great digital copy of those songs now, there were some gems! So, happy this box set was released, the contents are very good indeed!
Tumbleweed Connection (1970) was the first John/Taupin album I bought. I went there to get the latest release, Madman Across The Water (1971) but they were out. I was also collecting 45s that had songs not appearing on the albums like Step Into Chrismas, Sugar On The Floor, Cold Highway, House Of Cards, and Planes. Good times!!
Sir Elton, life would not have been bearable without you and Bernie sharing your gifts with us.
With all my heart, thank you so much for helping me survive many migraines and other traumas in my young life. You filled my heart and I am thankful.
PS I sent you a gift in 1992, a copy of my butt with a pink silk bow, as a joke. I hope you got a chuckle or at least John Reid Enter. found a good home for it. Cheers!
@Elton John, thank you for a chance to tell you how much your music and Bernie's words have shaped my young life in the 70s, 80s and beyond. You have filled my young heart with color and beauty no one else could have. I saw you and Ray Cooper in Toronto in Oct 1979 at the OKeefe Center... it was an experience I won't forget.
I trust you and your loved ones are happy and healthy during this time in our COVID world.
Please stay safe and when you can do your tour, it will be awesome!! Cheers! NLDelaney
@Elton John PS I love your obscure tracks and I have always thought they needed more exposure. ie. Sugar On The Floor, Planes, House Of Cards. Whatever you release it will be good.
It looks like a beautiful book with lots of enjoyable information in it. Love the colors and the glossy pages. I'm a portrait artist so I'm OCD about how things look. It's very well put together.
Thank you sir Elton forget again standing out above the rest. Brilliant idea . It really is a Jewel!♥️
Ive.got all your compilations
Greatest hits 1 2 & 3
Very best
Hits 1970-2002
And now I'm gonna buy diamonds and Jewel Box
Saw my first Elton John concert in 1976 and my ticket cost $8.75 yes I still have the stub. I have seen you 11 times over the years. Interested to hear some of these jewels!
It is amazing how masculine and strong and energetic Elton appears. I really miss it in modern men, I don’t see it very often.
Elton, just in case you have the time to read any of your viewers comments (I hope you do!) I’d just like to say that your music has brought me so much comfort over the years and happiness. Thank you for all of your terrific music. My favourite is “the one” just brilliant. I think you’re a really great character and an even more special musician. I just wanted to tell you. Hope you’re well. 😊
@Elton John I’m so touched by your reply! Wow. I didn’t expect that ☺️ it just goes to show that even stars like you are in touch with your fans and want to hear from them. Your music has brought me lots of pleasure, as I mentioned in my first comment and I have no intention of stopping listening. I wish you and your family all the very very best and I hope as you say, the world heals quickly so you can continue your tour. Without gushing too much, I wanted to tell you I think you’re a top guy and for gods sake don’t let anyone breath on you 😉 peace and love from GB
i love you elton! :D
Elton we love you!!!🤘🏿❤️🤍💙
