Elton John - I'm Still Standing (Cannes Film Festival 2019)
/ eltonjohn - Hudba
its cool how he has adjusted his style of singing to compensate for his voice as he ages. Still sounds as great as ever, just in a new way
I think theres no other artist in modern music history who has improved his style of singing this often like Sir Elton in his 50 years of career. Absolutly unique, an absolute Legend who is still able to belt out great new music.
I so agree! Rich and seasoned wonderfully! I enjoy hearing the piano clearly without competing with back up singers guitars and drums. Nice.
@@dosenwurst101 Paul Rodgers' voice hasn't changed at all, in all fairness.
God bless elton thats the king of swag Elton would still have it older and all...always swagger dead or alive !!!!!
i agree but by the way he had a surgery and i don,t know the details something with his vocal chords but still i totally agree on how he adjusted his voice!
72 and he’s still standing and preforming... incredible
You must be a fuckin fossil
@@oliviakate8172 what does that mean? I'm 14 and I love his music. Just because he's old doesnt mean the listener has to be
Yea . I Hope He Will be with us for longer. For that great 💯 years.
Love him And i still Will do.
Hope I am at 74!
It’s crazy to think that Paul McCartney also performs sometimes.
His voice isn't what it was, but then again who's would be at his age!!!
His piano technique on the other hand is absolutely unreal. Blessed to be on this planet at the same time as this guy.
It's mostly because of the throat surgery he had in 1988
Don Mclean is older than Elton and his voice sounds literally almost exactly like it did in the 70s.
@@haydenfrobenius9818 I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make in comparing two artists who could not be more different.
I chuckled when I read this because that reminded me of an interview he have when he basically 'bashed' himself as a singer saying (and I’m freely paraphrasing here) that he didn’t have the foggiest why people’d ever listen to him because ‘I’m not a singer. I can’t sing if so my life depended on it, I’m a pianist!'. You’ve just got to love Elton John! ^^
It's the songs 38th anniversary this year!
He makes simple piano accompaniment sound like a whole band. Incredible.
Yes this is unreal
yes, such drums
eh not really 💀
Oh and when I do it I'm overplaying /s
I love the intro piano arrangement. Thank you Elton and Bernie for the soundtrack of my life. ❤
Well said😊👍👍

Am I living for Elton John?
*Yes I am*
I'm sorry but I like QUEEN more 😂
@@wiertw1183 that's ok, they're amazing too
@@wiertw1183 I like both oops
Wiert W I like both queen and John Elton both of them have great music
@@Faithful0988 queen is fucking overrated
His voice isn't what it used to be... but that doesn't matter in the slightest. This was truly incredible.
when singers get older their voices are lower
Somehow he still makes it work tho
@@MakiSmolRoll becuase it’s the same legend that sang it 38-39 years ago
He had throat surgery in 1988 which would alter his voice in a more Baritone.
1:46 his younger voice is still there
I love this version, it gives the song the anger and resilience it's meant to hold. Too often it's seen as a happy go lucky song, it's really not.
This! ❤
"Hey ya!" says hi 👋.
It's not happy. It's...triumphant.
Only a piano or a whole orchestra?
Doesnt matter for Elton !
Ké'tágé Nakiná'iłtsih - way to miss the point 👍
@@xxxghost1320 There you go. I didn't get up this morning to ruffle any egos.
Ké'tágé Nakiná'iłtsih 👌
The background voice in the video is the pipe organ not the orchestra. This performances is on piano & pipe organ.
John Taliaferro Thompson - my point was that elton dont need anything else than a piano too entertain us :)
World: How good can you still sing Elton ?
Elton: YES !!!
Yeeeah yeeah yeeeah
STOP MAKING COMMENTS LIKE THAT
@@myonlyoneuniquerose ikr its annoying
Also elton doesnt sing good anymore but I still respect him
@@myonlyoneuniquerose You are so beautiful !!!

the piano intro is the best one ive ever heard!
Does someone know the chords
Daniel Soellner why yes
@@robocopmbl3155 the intro ones? Can you write them here in the comments please😉
I got it i think

After watching Rocketman.. I can say that this song will forever mean so much more now.. Elton is so strong, what a legend!
Absolutely. Even though he wasnt sober yet when this song was made originally
At first it was Bernie’s idea of a break up song but music is art, I’m sure it became something more than a breakup song for Elton, you can sorta see it in his performance :)
@@benny2427 oh I agree, and it means a lot different things to me personally.
@@benny2427 every time I check this inbox and read the first sentence , I think you're referring to Bernie Sanders and I was like wait we are breaking up the music industry now 😂.
@@ozmond Yes because "I'm Still Standing" came out in 1982, and Elton became sober in early 1990s
*Elton is a king!!!!*
Actually, Elvis is.... But well...
@@hacantyapradipta1119 there could be more than one king
Je heb gelijk
the best is michael jackson
@@giorgio_1618 he is pop
that opening piano gives me chills every time i hear it
love how he builds the tension in that intro, amazing
Legend says he still is standing
Hilarious 😂😂
I feel so lucky living at the same time as elton john

I love you’re profile pic as you wrote this

I'd like to have Elton as my piano sensei anytime soon, like holy shit he's *insane*
The Dingwall me personally I’d choose billy Joel, but Elton is an amazing pianist
@@mxoon3722 Billy AND Elton are 2 of the top pianists, vocalists and showmen of all time.
Saaaaaame!!!
Watch Freddie Mercury.
@@thegroup9025 He was a very good showman but he is talking about pianists. And although Freddie played the piano, he didnt like it because he wasnt very good and ended up dropping it
Elton and Freddie the two greatest queens of music!
What do you mean queen
@@johnfarrell6512 they're both gay
Wait really
@@conner5611 as a joke or like for real?
@@LuisGomez-gf3rr yes elton has a husband
"Look at me! I'm 72...AND I'M STILL STANDING!" (Sir Elton John)
Thank you, Sir, for not giving up. Thank you for your strength and having the courage so you could share your gift with the world💕💕
@WILD BILL Elton John is a GENIUS and a great human being. 👏🎶👍❤🙇
@WILD BILL Damn this is some pretty shitty bait, try harder buckaroo
You could say He's Still Standing
Man, his piano talent is something extrordinary!! No wonder Hans ZImmer said he was intimidated by Elton John and his skills when he appeared in studio recording music for "Lion King". This man in a powerhouse, no matter how old he is.
Legend appreciates legend.
@@29subhra true it was the same relationship between elton and freddie but there will never be another elton john
As a pianist... i just can explain Elton's technique whit one phrase: the guy came from a planet whit men born whit two rigth hands
I am 11 years old and i only listen to 1960-1990s song! 🤘🔥😃 Sir Elton🔥🤘😃 You Should live forever! 🥺🔥🔥😃🎹
tambien tengo 11
Gen z be like

00:32 Elton missing 80's when there werent cell phones...
Elton doesn’t have a cell phone
Nutella and Breadsticks hes looking at the audience where everyone is filming on their phone
Ikr that's what I thought
Fernando Lopez Cuervo Gutierrez I don’t think Elton remembers a lot of the 80s
@@zach346 hahahaha
Elton John is like the greatest grandma ever
I couldn't like and ruin it (used to be at 420 likes)
@Aidan Vlogs C'mon, really?
Lmao
Fuck you
@@Hi-jx6mk lol
My god put down the bloody phone, and just enjoy something. It doesn't have to be recorded every time, all the time to leave an amazing memory. Just enjoy the moment
Those jazzy notes he adds are just fantastic
This song was a fitting outro music choice for the film. This is one of my favorites.
0:33 those are the eyes of a man that has lived a lot, suffered a lot and is still standing strong
I rather think hes annoyed with all the cellphones in the audience tbh
@@cooxy9964 I mean, he is a boomer haha
One year,one month,one hour...
ILUMINATI
@@darlin4237 One second lol
His playing here is just so awe-inspiring. This is decades of mastery at work here. Just incredible. And of course nobody has that soul in their voice like he does
I agree. Do you play piano yourself?
Never realized a piano could make such a sound 🥲

@@Hydrouzz fuck you
My favorite song of Elton John❤️
SMASH mee too
I think it’s not his best song but... he stay the best in my heart 😂
Me too
Narvalooo your song is better
Narvalooo Here here!
I saw Elton in concert once. I was brought by another because who he wanted to bring couldn’t make it. I was blown away! I’m so glad I came. Wish I could remember the year. It was as wonderful as seeing John Denver in concert. Twice. And when I saw Benny Goodman we’ll that was even greater because my father admired him so much and had all his albums. Dad was from Goodman’s era.
Am I the only one being surprised that in the live versions, at the end of each verse there's a little fill that changes between tonic and (subdominant over tonic) which doesn't exist in the recording? I didn't realize until yesterday. So much better!!
I wish people would put their phones down and just watch it with their eyes!
Well they want to record it
@Eagle1 then why are you on CZcams?
you can do both lmao i’m recording my elton john concert so i can watch back whenever i want
Lexi Reid concerts always sound terrible recorded through phone speakers. And when professional recordings are available on CZcams why even bother? I suppose humans just can’t help sniffing their fingers after scratching their ass
Christopher Hutton Wow are you recording on a brick? Guess you can’t let people try and remember things that they enjoy. Sure I might be sniffing my fingers after scratching my ass but at least my head isn’t stuck up my ass.
Dude, this was absolutely amazing, he is such a genius with the arrangement. One of my favorite songs by Elton.
Nick Saunders This is my favorite Elton Song!!!!
he"s still standing after all this time - a legend more incredible than greek fantasies
It's the strongest song ever!
I like how he adjusted his tone as he aged, so the song is different in a way, but sounds just as great as the original! Good job on that one Elton!
Elton, I love you! ❤️❤️ you’ve come so far in your life and I am so proud to be your biggest fan! Who’s with me? 🙌🏻👏🏻
🙂🙏
Book Wormed-Geek 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I have been a fan since 1969 when I saw him at the Filmore West in S.F opening up for the Kinks!♥️♥️♥️
Honestly, it's no surprise that a song named "I'm still standing" just keep getting better therefore it's a joy to listen to it.
Whenever i see my grandfather at his 92 walking without any cane, still mostly sane of his mind this song comes to me. Such a wonderful and long life. He and my granny rise me as a kid because my parents job was very tim consuming, my granny is not with us anymore but he is still here with me after all this time.
Loved Elton since the 70's. Rock on Rocketman.
I'm 18 and just recently got into his music because my friends and I went to go see the movie. Phenomenal talent right here, and a great story. I've officially picked up most of his records and can't stop playing them lol.
@@CryingCupcake If you have the chance to see him one last time live in concert, spend the money and do it!
Memorys for a lifetime, I'm only 23 and I saw him 7 times since 2015 in Germany. Best spend money ever.
Robin Just spent all my graduation money on tickets!!!!
My only hope is that Sir Elton John knows how truly love he is ....
Love Life I think he does, he expresses it during each concert.
@@ActionMediaProductions then that is totally awesome . He deserves every bit of it for all that he has given all his fans .
He does know how much he is loved one of the most amazing people out there
I have been playing on piano since 1994.Playing this song on piano get me pleasure more than other songs
Do you have a sheet music for the version you play?
I've been thinking a lot about this song, my ex-wife and her mother tried everything to ruin my live after we broke up, but i'm still standing after all this time! thank you Elton John!
This song is pure energy! 🎹🎶👏
Festival Organizers: Elton, we can’t give you an entire orchestra.
Elton: you clearly don’t know who I am.
This piano version is even better...OMG!!!!!
You ever thought that Freddie is the queen and Elton is the king
he's still amazing, still sounds great, a true legend, and I'm a rock and roll fan, but Elton is one of a kind, my thirst for music is well served by Elton...
The Rocketman still has it! Love you, Elton! 💕
This song gets more powerful the older it gets, still standing after 40 years, towering over everyone like the king he is.
He’s a true survivor still standing , this is Elton
Elton you are the King of the music ever❤️
I like queen more, 😂
Wiert W me too but I can not choose between Freddie and Elton❤️😂❤️😂❤️
@mr.. M too
@@wiertw1183 Sameee😂
Freddie mercury is the GOD
I love the Tamber of his voice ..its very husky and soulful..I've seen Elton 5 times 1974- 79.. including Dodger stadium and a 2 man show with him and Ray Cooper.. fantastic then , and still standing now! Elton Rocks!!
*Timbre
What a lucky man
He really is still standing. Most legends leave us earlier than we want, but I'm happy to say that we've got to keep this one
I saw Elton John in Australia when he came over, it was the most amazing experience I've ever gone to and probably ever
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
🎶
Matheus Novaes thank you for this lyric§
Our modern day Mozart, Sir Elton Hercules John...
I've known this song all my life, and this is the first time I see Elton performing it just on a piano.. simply amazing considering the original arrangement was pure 80s pop
The Million Dollar Piano are those that had been touched by Elton,s Hands
Dear Sir Elton John,
You are a beautiful legend. Your life means a difference to the world and to our individual lives. May God bless you and your family.
Elton John is amazing
Made it through 2020 I'm still standing
What's the point of filming this on your cellphone? There's a profesional camera crew there recording everything. You are literally one google search away from reliving the moment in full HD and a higher audio quality then you can ever dream of recording on your cellphone.
I luv hearing that piano just one key at a time
Lets play this at the beginning of 2021
Straight facts. Exactly what i was thinking.
Someone need to put this song just in the 00:00
Mission completed
It’s just marvelous to see how he can still manage a piano and adapt his style to his “new” voice! Certainly the greatest of all performers!
Sir Elton John, there is only one.
I love it how Elton is playing I'm still standing. And how it is covered to a different style. I want to learned so hard. Thanks for this great song.
I like how he sing im still standing in a new way
I love the power in his voice absolutely legend
Im still standing the best song😍😍
Elton looks like like a nice grandma, those nice grandmas that are always asking if you wanna eat something or if you want cookies:3
He’s not a pianist he’s a whole band
The piano is amazing. I think it was one of the best piano version of I'm still standing
His voice aged like a fine wine...so good.
Elton John is one of a kind! A brilliant musician! Unbelievable!
Thanks for the wonderful performance! Best wishes from Brazil, Elton!
Elton is 72 amazing that he can still do this
A.w I mean he literally has been playing piano his entire life
When EHJ hits your space, please immediately buy that ticket. This man delivers a 2.5 hour performance of our favorite songs, the B sides, and tells us what led to those lyrics he got from Bernie! He hasn’t forget those lean times, and is the most humble man in the industry. Long may he stand!
I saw him in Fargo north Dakota. He put on probably the best concert I have ever been to.
Is it just me or does he sound even better?
Best intro ever! This version of this amazing song is so great. It's such an amazing piece of music
It certainly is, he is a master of his craft.
Say whatever what you want. Nobody can be as Flamboyant and as talented as Elton John. The man is surely Unique
Best version ever one of the greatest musicians and singers to bless us with his talent Thank you SIR ELTON long may your music entertain generations to come
Thank you Elton. Please be immortal for us, ALL of us
He may be getting old, but his songs are never forgotten. We love you man. Stay strong💪.❤
I wish I could do anything in my life half as good as SIR ELTON playing the piano 🎹!!!!
He is a living legend! ❤️
What a performance, I still can't believe how he did that at 72
Elton doesn't have a great voice like Freddie but many people liked his songs,including me which is actually addicting,what a great song,ELTON IS A KING
I love how his just rockin the heart shaped glasses
Elton is a master and king
I've seem Elton many times. He has always been a class act and amazing performer each time. Last show was in Albany, 2019.
72,
And he’s still standing better than he ever did
Elton is the POWER 💎🔥
HE IS THE KING.
He's still standing after all this time!!
