Totally agree

The best voice

Me too.

Yeah, especially 97, prob his best year

He's lip synching here

Charities lol .. ok

Who is bashing Elton John???

@@preesi1403 yeah, probably nobody in these particular comments, but he certainly has his critics, a lot of it centering around his personal life these days it seems, and he's the first to admit that over the years he's been a nightmare to deal with on many occasions

The same could be said about Jimmy Saville, although in his case he didn't start fundraising because he thought there'd be a risk of himself catching something

​@@mrs.columbo1803some people are, spelling experts! Leave the man alone! It's very rude, to correct people!!

Enya still does it!

But why does it need to be "dramatized for TV"? Of all the musicians in the world, Elton John would seem to be one of the most capable of just sitting down and playing and singing and being AMAZING. We''ve seen him do it many times as part of interviews, including the one where he sang "Daniel" during one of the James Lipton interviews. Since reading his book, I've been watching his many live performances available on KZfaq and I found this not even worth watching by comparison. When I realized he was lip syncing I stopped to read the comments...

@@epona9166 Its simply an advertising stunt to promote the song/CD/Record. It’s done a lot so that it sounds exactly like the version you’re going out to buy......... which makes you go out and buy it! (And he has the gall to criticise Madonna for doing exactly this!)

How can you tell?

You can tell by looking at the way he's singing and playing the piano, he normally sings into the microphone and the microphone is ages away from him, (the track is the exact same as the music video and hes not actually playing live, after it he looks a little nervous as well@@smartiboo

It´s a paradox that he always criticized lip-synching so hard and still does it a few times, like here. Yep, the micro is not only "miles away" from him but also clearly to one side of him, to his right shoulder. It seems to me that in here he even missed the first "Let´s recover" opening the song...I am no piano-player, but even the way he plays the piano here sounds too smooth for the way he normally plays it and makes it sound. It seems as if they had all those cables connecting the piano with the loudspeakers switched of or something. And the bass and all those other instruments heard during the song?... Well, there are people who only lip-sync every time that they sing, while professionals like Elton only do it a few times only, so let's spare him about this then... Beautiful, beautiful song, anyway. One of Elton´s noblest songs alongside "The One, Live like Horses, Can you feel the love tonight, The Last Song, Friends never say goodbye, Original sin, Believe"... Impossible to pick just one.

That and comparing the official audio of the song with it.

@Falcon Well how come you can hear drums, guitar, and other instruments in the background but there is nobody playing them. This is lip-synced.

@Falcon Yes, I have

@Falcon The volume of his voice sounds the same from when he's "Miles away from the mic" to just Centimeters. It's lip-synced.

You don't realise he's wearing a wig?

Recover Your Soul from The Big Picture album

That’s because it was a weave. Try to yank that off and you’d be in deep trouble.

He detests lip syncers who do it live in concerts where people pay to watch them.

He lip synched to I want love on Parkinson a few years later as well

People who are making a big song & dance about lip syncing. SMH

​@Karen DeGenerous​ Appalling.

Assholes

I don't think he cared tbh and he knew he was doing it 😂 but yeah he probs got forced cos Elton hates it and has always held predjudice towards artists that did lip sync in concert

Well, that’s silly because it’s such a great interview.

It is a shame to see the great Elton lip syncing as he is one of the greatest live singers you will ever see and that has always been the case. Great interview of course.

What does that mean?

No
