Tribute to Elton John April 10, 2018

lol Did no one watch this? I can't find a thread on this.

I knew Lady Gaga had recently covered "Your Song" in the studio and apparently it is from a whole disc of artists covering Elton John songs.

But last night on TV, these people performed them live.

What I have been told:
Shawn Mendes & SZA "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"
Miranda Lambert "My Father's Gun" (?? don't know the original)
Little Big Town "Rocket Man" (apparently this was really good)
Sam Smith "Daniel" (someone said it was good, someone said it wasn't)
Ed Sheeran "Candle In The Wind" (Elton helped get Ed onto The Grammys and expand stateside)

Elton John himself did "I'm Still Standing", "Philadelphia Freedom", and "Bennie And The Jets"

Anyway... I have yet to see this and did not record it. Hopefully it will be re-shown or On Demand.

That's too bad. Maybe someone will upload it to an...accessible website soon. Free TV should be free for all. razz

I watched it this weekend and REALLY ENJOYED IT. Actually, my least favorite thing on the studio disc was my most favorite live performance.

This is the one that sounded terribly autotuned on disc but flawless live? That effect has gone overboard.

My only critique would be that the original is basically a disco song and when they played it live, the first 1/3 of it had NO drums.
