George Michael, Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Live) REACTION

[@milan4ever]

George Michael could not sing a false note even if he tried. He was absolutely amazing live. Phenomenal duet.

[@anncain1104]

George left us way too soon....I miss him so.

[@darkpitcher5242]

George Michael was an outstanding songwriter, vocalist, and human being he will be sorely missed

[@susanstavrou4232]

I cry every time!!! I miss George what a voice

[@rosemiller2990]

George wrote a song for Elton that was supposed to appear on George’s album called Trojan souls. He never finished that album because he was in a dispute with Sony and he didn’t want to give them anything. He shelled that album but there’s a part of me that wishes it would’ve been released because he also had a duet with Janet Jackson on that album. We’ll never know the beautiful music that was on it but no doubt since it was his album it was beyond brilliant. George did background vocals for Elton’s hit Nikita. It would’ve been great for them to collaborate on another song together. In my opinion George’s voice is like no others. And the fact that this man could sing in any style of music and sound absolutely beautiful was such a gift. Check out his other duets. He did one with Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, Toby Burke, Aretha Franklin, Queen, Muyta Buena, and Astrid Gilberto which was sung in Portuguese.

[@GF-pk4uj]

Thanks for the info. Add Whitney Houston and Mary J Blige to the list of duets.

[@poppad331]

One of Eltons' greatest songs. George Michael had one of the best voices in music, his voice "live" is better than most singers do in a studio. Both of these are also very generous men who both gave millions to charities. You should check out George singing "Somebody To Love" with Queen at the Freddie tribute concert

[@alameas6358]

Great request! It was awesome! His voice was out of this world at this tribute concert!!!

[@cathalbutler]

@@alameas6358 You are so right he was the only one in that concert that came close to matching Freddies vocal range

[@inisolation6582]

George Michael and Aretha Franklin - "I Knew You Were Waiting" just as amazing

[@GeorgeJohnson-gf2do]

I don't care what anybody says..disagree if you want, but that is one of if not the best collaborations ever done in the history of recorded music...R&b, soul, pop or any other genre.

[@God-ck5yo]

Many years ago I was sitting in the VIP area at a Billy Idol gig at Wembley Arena (it's a long story) and was sitting next to George and Elton! They were two of the nicest guys I've ever met (and, yes, I've met the lovely Dave Grohl). They were great friends but they included me, just a nobody, in their conversation - they had no massive rock star egos. Despite not being a Billy idol fan, it was one of the best nights of my life. RIP George.

[@heflinG6832]

George could really sing his ass off! He has a perfect voice! And of course Elton is a friggen legend!

[@crazyfun5150]

George Michael was so amazing. To this day, you’ll never hear a better singer live. Guy could sing a song and made it look effortless. And Elton John wrote and sang this perfectly with George.

[@thedarkstranger963]

Prince is in a class by himself. George Michael is the True King of Pop.

[@JosieReddingtonDeSanta]

This was also Eltons first live performance after getting clean of drogs and alcohol. George Michael wanted to show his support by asking Elton to join him on stage.

[@meriannestoneback7436]

It makes the song and the performance even more special. And it's even more heartbreaking now that George is gone. Elton has lost too many friends over the years, this song must really get him whwn performing.🤗

[@margalecuona3103]

This is one the.most beautiful live performance of all times and yes these two men were best friends George Michaels was a great singer, song writer and one of the most magnificent souls that ever visit this planet!

[@dinarodriguess]

George Michael sounds even better singing Alive than in records. I saw him Alive and i Just close my eyes, his vocal seems like an Angel

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

George Michael gone too soon! I still haven't gotten over it!

[@scarletjohnston741]

George's voice rips my heart to pieces. I vividly remember the day he died. I cried all through Christmas dinner. Still doesn't seem real that he's gone. I never got to see him live, but I've seen Elton 3 times & had tickets to see him again before covid came. Still waiting for that show to be rescheduled. Wishing everyone a peaceful day ✌️💜🌻

[@MrPistolpete1234]

I was gutted too about George Michael. I grew up listening to his music, never thought he would be gone so soon, tragic how things turned for him. R.i.p. one of the greats

[@mrscottify]

Fun fact: this is one of the first shows EJ did after getting sober/coming out of rehab.

[@handsome-brute2666]

And he's still around a half century later..unlike the other legends

[@irishman4671]

Yes it was. Elton's voice post rehab was so strong. Love his early 90s voice more than pretty much any other time, and I love everything about him from 1970 to today.

[@ciskoshuggs822]

One of the best duets ever, especially 2 males.

My sister had a major crush on him - of course looking back it was obvious he was gay I don't know how people didn't know!

Can we appreciate how amazing both of them sound live?

[@Lynnwoody1]

This is Elton John's song from his 1974 album caribu, it was George's idea for them to do this duet, George also sang backing tracks on Elton's song Nikita, they did another song together called wrap her up, which I love but nobody ever reacts to.

[@sopdox]

This my favorite Elton John song. This is the best collaboration for this song.

A must listen is his cover of The Long and Winding Road as a tribute to Linda McCartney. You will cry

[@djdelugach2402]

In a time when 90% of the music is just garbage, there actually was a time not so very ago when artists like George Michael and Elton John made some of the best, most heartfelt music in history. Auto-tune and lip-sync were unheard of and not needed, because real voices and instruments ruled the day...Many of today's artists might be remembered for a decade or two....George's and Elton's music will be listened to as long as there are people still around to hear it...RIP George!

[@lorettarowell8486]

George had such a unique voice, his live performances were so much better than his studio recordings. If you haven't listened to his full catalog of music, please do, George always said if you want to know anything about him, all you needed to do was just listen to his music , it was all in his lyrics . George put all of himself into his music and that is why once you start listening to his music, you get hooked. Loved your reaction

[@mollyprice1485]

I’ll never get over George Michael as long as I live. And on Christmas!

[@tnhand1022]

Amazing performance!! If you wanna get the best of George Michael live, react to his cover of Somebody to Love at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. George sang his SOUL out on that stage. He made the song his own, but respected Freddie's original. It's beautiful.

[@missd9785]

Beautiful ... miss George Michael. Great reaction!!! Thanks. Should check out George and Aretha duet I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING.

I would say this was George at his peak vocally the videos I ve watched of him live his voice was just so pure and powerful around 90 to 93 not to say it wasn't amazing before or after 😁😁

George also partnered with the remaining members of Queen after Freddy died and did a tribute concert for Freddy. It was also a great live performance by George.

[@missd9785]

Ooops just wrote that... guess I should have scrolled down a bit more. Best evidence of George Michael's vocal range I think.

[@laurenhuntsinger9170]

I always end up in tears listening to this song, of them together. Elton has always had a huge heart for fellow musicians with addiction problems. Goes above and beyond to be supportive.

[@abdouomar29]

You are wrong here Then in this tour of george michael called cover to cover tour. Elton john was the one who had problems with drugs. It was a tough time for him George michael after a long and several times, finally he convinced Elton to be part of it. And by the way it's well documented. I've seen an old report talking about the huge success of this duets And among the people who talked about it, was sting, and how happy he was, to see elton coming back and the support he's got from george. George michael drugs problem came a long after that when his partner died, and then suddenly his mother got concert and died too Then it begun the toughest period of george.he was escaping these harsh realities, 1st when he finally found a lover suddenly he was taking from him very quickly, and the song jesus to a child talking about it, then the second bad news fell, that his beloved mom got skin concert. And how elton tried to be supportive with george but he failed.

[@celinhabr1]

Brilliant performance. I absolute love George's voice. Elton is great too, obviously, but George's voice was pure honey.

Two amazing legends! This duet, in my opinion, is the best of all time. Their voices complement each other so beautifully. Their voices both have a rich tone. Sir Elton John is always going to be the best at singing his songs but this song was perfect for George Michael’s voice. I would have loved to have heard this two talented men do another duet! Growing up I listened to all kinds of music but my favorite artists are like these two men. I grew up listening to great artists like Elvis Presley, Beatles/John Lennon, Frankie Valley and The Four Seasons, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Sir Elton John, and George Michael, with so many others. George Michael may have died but his music definitely will live on.
