    I think Elton John's face is priceless when he watches George sore at the very end. I love Elton's voice but omg, George Michael's voice is absolutely epic. Fantastic duet and fantastic reaction.

    the BEST duet elton john ever did. just a little side note.. there is NO studio version of this song. this live version is all there is and they couldn't have done it any better imho.

    This is by far my favorite version of this song! I love Elton John but the combination of him and the smoothness of George Michael’s voice is perfect!!

    He wasn't a "sir" at the time of this concert. The audience had absolutely no idea Elton was going to be there. I love that they filmed him walking up to the stage in the dark.

    One of the best music collaborations in music history!!! Why is it, that, most of the tortured & sensitive souls, have the most powerful & memorable lyrics, & then, have to leave us so early *RIP George Michael, you are so missed by all who loved you and your music!!!* 💖💖💖

    Yeah this is for sure one of the best duet performances I've ever heard and one of my absolute favourites. The way they go back and forth and compliment one another is incredible. The crowd reactions made it that much better as well. I love listening to this version with Elton John and George Michael together.. I've probably heard it thousands of times and it never gets old, and still gives goosebumps when I hear them together. They were great friends, I wish he was still around, they both have incredible voices. Legends🙏

    I'm listening to music over 60 years this is one of the greatest performances ever. Two great singers, all good. George was one of the greatest singers ever. He did an incredible cover with Queen Somebody to Love tribute to Freddy Mercury. Worth checking out! Best success on yr channel.

  • @brianamadden8804

    I have been obsessed with this version since I first heard it. My best friend and I do would always do this as a dramatic, belty duet on road trips, hitting the dashboard for the dramatic drums.
    I never, ever get sick of it. Elton is epic Elton, George brings this passionate desperation to the song. Their voices together are absolute magic.
    I loved your reaction so much because your shrieks of excitement and disbelief at the amazingness match how I feel when I listen, every time. Thank you!

    What makes the performance even more special is that it was Elton's first public appearance in over a year as he had been in rehab and concentrating on his sobriety. This signaled his return.

  • @jerry_6122
    @jerry_6122 2 роки тому +8

    Tragic story related to this song. Elton dedicated this song (in Charlotte NC) to Matthew Shepard, after he had been attacked and was hospitalized. You could have heard a pin drop in that arena. Sadly, he passed away 2 days after.

    This is an Elton’s song. George Michael had it covered (and in my opinion made it better 🙊). Elton John had only recently come out of rehab and George Michael asked him to join him and sing the song together. Masterpiece!

    You need to review more George Michael songs. He sang, wrote and produced dozens of his notable songs. Also, he was an AIDS activist and philanthropist to many children’s charities.
    George’s 1993 Concert of Hope for Princess Diana and the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert were fabulous.
    His duets with Whitney, Aretha and Mary Jane Blige were amazing, to name a few.
    WHAM was his and Andrew Ridegely’s introduction to worldwide stardom. George left WHAM and became a megastar with millions of fans worldwide.
    George will be inducted into the Rock & Rock Hall of Fame in Nov. 2023.

I was 14 yrs old, & my brother, 19 yrs old. So sad I never met the fabulous George Michael, so sad he passed away, he should have been a 'Sir George Michael'!! xx

So, I'll just stick to Elton John's Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. It was one of my favorites, until I heard this version. It's absolutely, stunningly brilliant!! I listened to the first half of the song with my mouth half open!! I can't stop listening!
