    I think that Elton was and is one of the very few people that can pull off great covers of John Lennon's solo work. Wonderful performance, and so full of emotion, it makes you want to tear up a little.

    Sir Elton John is one of the worlds greatest musicians. His songs, music, choice of words and melodious tunes rock this world. Imagine what a wonderful voice and a powerful representation in our universe. He is simply the best! There is no other man that can sing so sweet and demonstrate kindness and passion via songs. Cheers and Keep it going....I wish we would meet some fine day and I could compliment such a great artist in person.

    I never thought Elton's biggest gift was his signing voice. It's sufficient but unremarkable, IMHO, but I still love and respect him. And I agree that George Michael has a better singing voice. :)

    John Lennon and Elton John were good friends, and Imagine is a message, not just a song. Elton John plays and sings it beautifully; John Lennon said "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one". Elton John is just proving that.

    I actually was in Melbourne - Australia when John passed and Elton played this song at his concert a mere 2 days later. The audience- many avid fans to this day of JLs sat and actually clapped to the beat tears streaming down there face and the lights dropped immediately after- it was then that Elton reallized John was dead. He recovered the show continued without fault. This version makes me think - God - I know who would have been there. Both versions brilliant. But why did we have to cry

  • @mpdsmom
    @mpdsmom 14 років тому

    this is pretty much one of my favorite songs of all time...it's message is wonderful, he's not knocking religion or being part of organized religion he's just basically saying, "chill out we are all the same, why the hatred, and rules and need for possessions and other things?" We are all the same, created and loved by one god or higher power, can't we just live in peace? Very basic, sadly many won't embrace it... would rather start arguments on youtube...such the antithesis of his message...

    Good cover from a friend & fan of the original singer/writer. I especially like the fun Sir Elton had when he changed the phrase once to "You might say I'm a screamer" !! Come on...any fan of John Lennon has to laugh!!! John must have loved it!!!! It's exactly the play on words which John always threw into live performances in order to drive Paul CRAZY ! (Back as far as: "She'd love to..Yeah, Yeah, Yeah). Brings John back a bit when I think how he must have enjoyed it! Thanks for the post Reg.

  • @shellyewert03
    @shellyewert03 13 років тому

    John Lennon: hard if ever will he be outdone in the music industry in the past or future; and the passion he composed with the Beatles and on his own, but I believe Elton John did a beautiful job playing this song!! That is what is wonderful about U S of A, everyone is entitled to their opinion. People should listen to the part of the song that says, "the world will be as one" meaning no boundaries, segregating based on beliefs, color of ones skin or lifestyles!!!! To each their own.....

    it doesnt matter who sings it- the point of Lennon's music and life was to spread a message to the world about peace and love. Elton has as much right as anyone to spread the word. Lady Gaga sang it, Elton sang it, Lennon sang it- 3 very different people 3 different styles, but one song and one message : Peace.

    they were very good friends, i dont know how anyone could hate either of the two, obviously both were incredibly talented, im a huge elton john fan but im also a john lennon fan, I think for the younger listeners, its nice to see someone from the time John Lennon was still huge, playing, because other than elton there arent many who can cover him and be considered respectable, obviously its not the same but still, id rather watch elton than some nobody cover John Lennon

    But then, wht else to expect from him? Another guy does all the lyrics, he turns it into beautiful music, turns the lyrics into perfectly composed songs, initially mostly using the piano but now the full scale of what a band can deliver.
