Elton John and Years & Years - It's A Sin

[AGinAg (38)]

I don't really understand this. Olly sounds fine and Elton sounds... well he sounds like Elton John, and we all know what happened there. The crescendo around 3 minute mark is pretty decent, but otherwise WHY?

Elton sounded dreadful performing this at the Brits. I saw a lot of praise for it online though... somehow.

It’s been done for his AIDS charity. I just wish Elton didn’t insist on being on it, but I suppose he may have a lot of completist fans internationally and it would make more that way.

I like the music in this version. I can see why Tennant/Lowe had suddenly “contractual issues” shame tho as it’s doing well be nice for them to have a big hit with them on it

Also did Olly pre record his vocals because when I saw them live years ago he was horrific . Elton sounds ...I dunno..it’s just parody now

When Elton did that Covid telethon thing last year I thought he was debuting a new song called 'I'm Jill Dando' until I realised it was just that his diction has gone completely to shit.

It would have been nice if the Pets turned up as well but I quite enjoy this. Elton obviously doesn't sound good, but he isn't given that much room in the song to go and make too much of a horror of things. Olly doesn't really go off piste as he usually does which is good, I'm glad for the most part he sang it more 'straight'.

Yeah Elton wanted top billing. He's such an odious nasty piece of work.

 

[FetchFugly]

I thought Elton was friendly with Neil and Chris? The Pets should have had top billing - it is their song - but how many would even have registered which way round their names were?!

Is there ANY POINT doing singles for charity anymore, they must generate MINIMAL INCOME?

Its to RAISE AWARENESS (of the artists' sainthood).
