Elton John - I'm Still Standing (Cannes Film Festival 2019)

[@TheMisterbobman]

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

[@dosenwurst101]

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.

[@denisebucior6603]

I so agree! Rich and seasoned wonderfully! I enjoy hearing the piano clearly without competing with back up singers guitars and drums. Nice.
