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.

You can watch it on the CBS website: https://www.cbs.com/shows...my-salute/

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

Yup. Same reason I never saw The Grammys this year.

Highlights for me (No Youtube videos as of yet of these performances):

Maren Morris(Elton & Bernie praised her soulful version of Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters from the audience out of all the performances)

Little Big Town - Rocket Man

Alessia Cara - That's Why They Call It The Blues

Miley Cyrus - The Bitch Is Back(While not a fan of hers thought she did a good job)

Why are all these hacks messing with my Elton?

Because he wanted 'em to.

That's why his old ass is retiring.

Records sales.

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.

I didn't know the country artists had a separate album... that's handy No I got some other CDs recently instead
