[@alenemarie1726]

Imagine having Elton John tell you he loves you and just wishes you success and watches you and wants you to thrive. That’s honestly amazing and I love you Chappell! You make me feel like what happened when I listened to Lorde for the first time 💖

[@carrbarre]

Haha I was wondering at how Chappell held it together after statements like that from Elton. I'd keel over

[@1313shishishi]

I came here to say the same thing. SHE DESERVES IT

[@GarethOfByzantium]

What happened to Lorde?

[@doublefeature]

you know every time he says i'm not a stalker, chappell is like DO IT!

i just love how much Elton appreciates and reaches out to the new young artists.

this brought me to tears honestly, its not often we’ve had queer history documented nor do we have enough communication between queer youth and elders. so this conversation between elton and chappell is really genuinely important and so so so healing like wow omg

[@MsSchneewante]

I can feel your words so much. This is living queer history and it's an honor the be able to witness it

Important comment

[@ZacharyKrane]

This reminds me so much of how Elton was so supportive of Gaga and rode so hard for her. Elton stays supporting the talented pop girls.

[@firouz256]

He just did it to annoy Madonna! 🤣 Nobody cares about Gaga’s career! Not even Elton!

[@01forest]

Elton is such a gift. THANK YOU FOR HAVING CHAPPELL ON.

[@emilymisty798]

Good Luck, Babe! was the song that got me into Chappell Roan, to me the song I think is such a relatable lgbtq experience around the denial of feelings, how a relationship is stunted by denial, the longing for someone to admit they want you. You don't really hear this in many songs, in fact I only know of 2 other songs that touch on this but this does it in its own unique way which is addicting and great to listen too.

Hi beautiful, how are you?

[@Cat-tastrophee]

Elton John could be chilling in his mansions sipping his beverage of choice wnd enjoying his life and I would 100% support him, but instead he's getting excited about new artists and supporting them, making my love of him increase tenfold. Thank you for being amazing, Elton John ❤ and you have exquisite taste!

[@elyset911]

I am 47 years old and Good Luck, Babe resonated with me because I love Kate Bush and 80’s music. The interlude where she says head in your head sounds like Kate Bush to me so much! I love Chappell Roan and her beautiful voice, quirky style, and how smart her songs are ❤

[@michaelfleming528]

I am a 65-year-old straight, white male. I’m also a former lead singer and musician with a love and passion of all genres of music. I discovered Chapel about a year ago and told all my friends about her. I’m so glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves. When it’s genuine , it just shines through. You can’t make it up. I had the privilege of seeing Dua Lipa in a small club in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida seven years ago and I thought the same thing then I was witnessing something special. I believe Chapel will have the same success. “Good Luck Babe”😊

[@ale_lingua]

@@michaelfleming528We love to hear it!! As a queer woman close to Chappell’s age, that is. ❤ Same experience for me, just hearing Lorde on the radio. Knew she was going places, if she wanted to.

[@vinylsx92]

I’m a 27 year old straight male she’s just incredible I’m still curious and discovering myself. I’ve rejected toxic masculinity a lot in my life the past year embracing girl bands I liked as a kid just overcoming insecurities about the artists I like.

[@JasonJervis1]

The bridge on "Good Luck Babe" is the coldest piece of song writing and vocals I have heard in a VERY long time. Chappelle's work is so authentic and transcends barriers. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more incredible art from her.

This was so sweet. Sir Elton has such beautiful appreciation of other musicians who he likes, regardless of them being gay or straight. His talks with Joni Mitchell and joy talking about Billie Eilish, for example, show such wonderful excitement about good art, good music. 💖

[@joeshields9083]

I’m a 66 man and discovered you after your appearance on Jimmy Fallon. Wow. That album! I passed the album along to my son and daughter and they LOVED you. My daughter said I love that Chappell girl.

Maybe also at Gagas shows but it was palpable!☺️🏳️‍🌈

I just got into Chappell Roan a few days ago, but I can already tell what an amazing talent she is, and as a queer woman myself, I find her music so fun and relatable and genuine. I can't wait to see her keep getting more and more famous, the world needs queer pop ICONS like Chappell Roan.

[@NNM5844]

[@bernardhoward4813]

Hello Stella 👋 How are you?

[@amelielemelin9766]

*wow! What an amazing "ok quick" but still an amazing interview. I love this interview because he is a genuine, honest, sincere, supportive and one-of-a-kind loving man and artist. I don't know how to explain it but he has something special in him that makes this interview so addictive that you can't stop listening to it over and over again. You can clearly feel how much he loves her, how happy he is for her that her career just exploded because of one song. At 77 years old he is still able to recognize new generation talent and success. I am pretty sure that Chappell was thrilled, happy and truly honoured to be interviewed by him. Who wouldn't be? This man has an exceptional career spanning 6 decades. He is a true source of inspiration for so many artists and people like you and me. To this day, I can honestly say that he's in my top 3 favourite artists of all time. As I grew up my parents used to listen to him and was able to learn what real talent is. When an artist just doesn't sing a song but lives and feels each lyric and then transpires in his or her singing.*

[@michelebella677]

I LOVE to see Elton give Chappell her flowers. Its great to see them both enamored eith each other.

[@mzbeatz]

I love Elton John for being this… His support for Artists and the music industry is limitless in his work that supports Artists in times of addiction and getting them back to their best lives and best music… ❤

[@repboy1]

Elton’s love of music and the industry is inspiring he could have just retired but to support new talent is such a gift from him.

[@sophis9453]

Elton loves the queer kids from Missouri first Jake Wesley Rogers now Chappell Roan! (Also if you haven't checked out Jake do! He's another pop/ballad piano artist my favorite from him is "Pluto")

"It's astonishing to hear someone new and vibrant like you, and the songwriting quality you have." YES!! Exactly this. It's been so long since an artist excited me with new music. Chappell doesn't just stand out from the crowd, she's created a whole new crowd. Can't wait to see what Chappell comes out with next.
