[@lovecraft5878]

Jaxon in all the music oriented videos is a must. He knows his stuff.

[@robinmorales-s1216]

YES

[@pedroalfredohernandezmoral351]

He have a great musical culture (y)

[@michaelhxhdhdjdj]

Very true even since i watched thischannel 10 years ago! His trim needs too go though hes a hansome guy but a very dodgy trim now

[@route2070]

His parents raised him right. Yes, listen to the new and modern stuff, but you can and should listen to music through the years.

[@andreahamilton5947]

Jaxon has been one of my favorites since I started watching this channel a few years ago.

[@Abyrae]

You can tell Jaxon's parents loved all kinds of music and must have played those songs a lot in his formative years, because he's familiar with so many artists, both old and new, in all the videos he appears in.

[@jeffreytsao5710]

Jaxon is a surprisingly decent singer, and how much he gets into it is great. I don’t think I would mind a video of him just jamming to Elton

[@melissacoviello2886]

Jaxon needs to be on all music related videos!!!

[@JustdifferentKr]

*Jaxon needs to be in all videos!!! 😉

[@nadinehoogenboezem4798]

I agree

[@redikusuma1817]

True Jaxon raised with good knowledges about the oldies I remember when he was kid react He choose Take On Me

[@rainbowflowerx]

Jaxon's parents did an amazing job, he keeps surprising me with his music knowledge lol

[@RisingExult]

I’ve loved Elton John since I was young and I’d never gone to a concert before so I figured my first should be his farewell tour in Tacoma. It was AMAZING. He outfit changed three times, his piano rolled around the stage, and he ascended into the heavens at the end while singing yellow brick road. Absolute 10/10.

[@jacquedenise86]

I saw him about 8 years ago, and it was definitely the best show I've ever seen!

[@KittyKraftStudio]

I saw him in Hershey, PA last year (show was delayed by COVID, was originally scheduled for 4/20/20, very bad timing) and it was great. I watched his final US show live-ish on Disney+ and when he ascended at the end I laughed because he stopped to pull his pants up first but then cried.

[@sheliamccullough1472]

I seen him when I was working at The Georgia Dome he's good

[@karinberonius8799]

Wow! Lucky you!

[@Alexcia236]

I say the exact same thing!! I saw him in DC with his final tour. He was literally one of the best! And he went DOWN playing on the piano too! I cried with GYBR but still sang along.

[@DavidMaxwell-fp5dw]

Kudos to the young guy in yellow and his parents. He's been raised right!!

[@Gadeberg90]

Yes Jaxon is the best. He has a lot of knowledge and is always openminded.

[@michellefey3741]

Princess Diana's funeral is the only time Elton John played that version of "Candle in the Wind", and after the funeral service, he made a statement that he would never perform that song ever again. Princess Di was one of his best friends, and was by his side at the funeral of Versace just a few short weeks prior to her own death. She is still so very much loved and missed by so many.

[@DBoy38]

He said he wouldn't play it ever again unless either Prince Harry or Prince William ask him to.

[@RBernsCarter]

The fact that he managed to get through it at the funeral was astonishing really

[@photone]

The reason Sir Elton looked so devastated at Princess Di's funeral was because she was actually one of his best friends...I'm amazed that he managed to make it through this performance without crying...

[@katelyn27480]

can we just give a round of applause to jaxon and his shocking amazing vocals

[@Team503]

Jaxxon's got PIPES! That boy needs to start a band, he's a big enough music geek anyway!

[@pinklori13]

Jaxons parents gave him an amazing childhood if they showed him the artist because every video with 80s 90s 00s he knows them all 😅

[@bethy82_bookworm47]

He knows a lot of the 70s song too.

[@redikusuma1817]

He is the most educated reactor for the oldies

[@kopper7509]

This is in his wheelhouse for sure. He often doesn’t know the modern songs, so it’s great to see him actually knowing the lyrics to songs.

[@lyzeashley2285]

I try to do the same for my 13&17 y.o. new music is not as good

[@thatgirl9532]

Not surprised Jaxon knows Elton’s music & life… his parents are what other parents should aspire to be like

[@nicolesaunders2964]

Man Jaxon can SING!! I could watch him react to music he loves all day 😂

[@davidlynton9930]

Jaxon really is the gift that keeps giving. His parents should be so proud of the job they did.

[@wendy.allison]

I love that these young kids know who he is and know his songs.

[@venadacent7696]

Jaxon rocking out to Rocketman....got the feels 🥰🥰🥰

[@nadinehoogenboezem4798]

Jaxon seems like an awesome guy to go on road trips with and blast music, ask for recommendations or just talk about it in general

[@LeviHill4]

Elton John is iconic.

[@malanisuewheeler8092]

Jackson has such a great voice. Several of them do. I just love seeing anyone so turned by music.

[@scotthodgins7975]

I am stunned that he knows all the lyrics

[@redikusuma1817]

Big respect for Jaxon He always good with the oldies

[@armincagoodwin367]

Jaxon is so knowledgeable about music. Well-rounded. His parents should be congratulated🎉

[@DrizzFizzlebeatz]

He also has 2 sisters that are over a decade plus older than him.

[@chloemilburn8482]

He was actually friends with princess Diana so that’s why he sang…that’s why he is close with William and Harry…he even sung William and Kate first dance song. And Eminem he is great mates as he helped him so much get sober as Elton has had been drinking for years and drugs…he has helped so many people….btw may need to watch film rocket man

[@OhYeahItsAmy]

Fun fact: In 2016, Johnny the gorilla sang I'm Still Standing in the movie Sing. In 2019, Taron Egerton, who played Johnny, played Elton John in the movie Rocketman and got to sing I'm Still Standing for a second time (Elton said that he wanted Taron Egerton to sing the songs instead of Taron pretending to sing and someone adding his voice in later).

[@eddmario]

And Taron Egerton acted alongside Elton John in the second Kingsmen movie as well.

[@gaffer2602]

​@@eddmarioand Elton John was asked to be in the first one, but declined. He watched it and his reaction was "I'm such an ingrate." I think he asked to be in the second one

[@eddmario]

@@gaffer2602 That's not the only funny fact about the first Kingsmen movie when it comes to the cast. In the original comic it's loosely based on, one of the people that gets kidnapped is none other than Mark Hamill himself. In the movie, they changed it to a random professor...who was played by Mark Hamill.

[@petitehobbitte]

Props to this generation for being in tune with Elton.

[@zuzuchoi1374]

Jaxon singing = TOP TIER :3

[@nirmalsuki]

Elton's performance at the funeral of Princess Diana was one of the nexus events of this multiverse.

[@musicandmoviefan9217]

None of these kids is even 18 and yet they are singing along word for word.....Elton's music is multi-generational and incredible

[@masgalsakti]

Jaxon is 19, lmao

[@musicandmoviefan9217]

@@masgalsakti and at 19 his taste in music and his manners are better than many people twice his age. He is a well brought up young man so kudos to his parents

[@TheBloobster]

bro im 38 and they know more lyrics than me huge props to them for getting into old music... lotta kids dont bother now

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Seeing all these teens singing along to Elton songs warms my heart so much. I grew up with these songs as a young person in the 70s and they mean the world to me. They're timeless songs and I'm so happy they're still loved with each new generation.

[@teryn7904]

Fun fact: the guy who was the gorilla in sing, Taron Egerton, actually played Elton John in Rocketman.

[@corriezech4501]

I was so suprised that no one said ANYTHING about this!! Taron Edgerton ROCKED as Elton John!

[@TaraJoan449]

Can we talk about Jaxons vocals in this? Cause damn!

[@TheRealBevHD]

As someone with perfect pitch, there were very little to zero time Jaxon was off pitch! He can sing!

[@815MikeB]

It's so awesome that the kids this age know Elton John so well. And, when you showed all four groups singing at the same time it gave me literal goosebumps. For a second or two I felt like I was at a live show. 😀

[@danajefferson5793]

He was also close friends with Freddie from Queen & he still got the gift that Freddie gave him, when Freddie passed away

[@brianstites3761]

This episode was good Elton John is a legend. I will say Jaxon has a pretty decent voice. When he was singing along to rocket Man and a couple of others .. would love to hear him sing the whole song.

[@davidcromer3065]

These videos give me hope for future generations. That some of these young people are not only familiar with Sir Elton John, but can sing along makes me smile.

[@jenniferfroggatt9245]

Jaxon is such a lovely young man

[@randyvalgardson774]

The performance at Diana's funeral was the one that MOST impressed me because he held it together singing at the funeral of someone who was SOOOO close to him. They were well known and very close friends for years.

[@Xiroi87]

Those of us who were around back then saw Princess Diana comforting a distraught Elton John at Gianni Versace's funeral. Three weeks later he was singing at HER funeral and it felt so surreal.

[@vCoralSandsv]

"He is just heart." Yup sums him up! So much love for Sir Elton John!

[@MrFrankhdgs]

JAXON!!!! YES!!! Jaxon never fails to 'bring it,' on these Music REACT episodes! I have been a fan of Elton John, since before I saved up enough money to buy the album, "Elton John: Greatest Hits," in 1974!

[@joeywood9333]

I LOVE that these kids know and love Elton John. It gives me some hope for the future. Also, I'd love to see them react to Queen.

[@Kvl-2968]

I applaud Lucas for personality and character progression over the time hes been doing the react channel videos. When he started out he was a little kid spouting a parents kinda hateful words about LGBT and other things and now hes just authentically himself.

[@tonygold1239]

I love the fact that Jackson knows every single Elton John song

[@kristiwinkle5686]

Jaxon has a hell of a voice!

[@dylanrogers3723]

I was literally about to comment about this. If he doesn't try and use his voice I'll riot

[@user-pz5ge9xx6j]

I mean it's good but idk if it's THAT good

[@AzaleaLuna]

I was their age when Elton John first started becoming popular. I was almost 13 when the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album came out. I remember popping it on the turn table, turning the sound up really loud and laying down in front of the speakers with the album jacket and I listened to the album over and over. So good. The guy in the yellow jacket can sing.

[@MikhaelErick]

Jaxon parents raised him right

[@user-pz5ge9xx6j]

Yep, enza needs to be back on the channel

[@UCWStone12]

Facts

[@xConflictGodzx]

Go on Jaxon! Pure vibing out in this one I love it

[@kristineb.mcanelly3304]

Delightful watching these teens diving in without reservation. Joyfully... I'm still standing...

[@furbysmith3240]

I remember when Elton John first started. My friend Becky had his albums in the early 70's and we would listen for hours.

[@ShaunMichael5]

Love seeing the younger generation react to classics! This is how music lives on! Sir Elton John is the man for sure

[@Robie212002]

Jaxon never fails to keep me entertained.

[@donnacarter2617]

Growing up in the 70 & 80's, I had the privilege to listen to the songs all the time. I remember the most the car rides, played at pools. He was everywhere.

[@michellebrown7714]

holy shit, jaxon has a set of pipes on him.

[@chrisdoesgaming331]

I'm sorry, but can we appreciate Jaxon is a pretty good singer xD

[@DiscoRaptor]

Dude... kid in the yellow jacket is UP on his Elton! 👍

[@kurtsudheim825]

On nall. Music. He knows so much

[@laurieshorts4905]

Jaxon kills it once again!!!

[@pegasusgold50]

It was hard for him to sing at Diana's funeral because she was a personal friend- they'd had a falling out, and had only reconciled a very short time before she was killed. "Candle in the Wind" was originally about Marilyn Monroe, but Elton and his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, reworked it to honor Diana.

[@airbrushpower]

"He did not edit himself into the Lion King?" ..Oh little man, he IS the Lion King Music! Well, he, Tim Rice and Hans Zimmer...

[@brotherkhrayn3525]

“He didn’t know who he is, but his Gaydar went YOU!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@StanleyKuo184]

No Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Daniel, and Sacrifice.. seriously? We need a Part 2 for Elton John hits pronto.

[@kodahansen8080]

And Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me

[@SCAP3I2]

And also 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting'

[@michaelscott7166]

It says a lot about just how good he is that there's as many comments about the songs about the songs that aren't here that there those that are.

[@sheldonlamey7010]

"Can we get a fashion line I would invest" was hilarious 😂👍🏾

[@reboss44]

I’m impressed with these kids’ music knowledge!! They’re adorable

[@TerminalFailSafe]

I grew up with Elton John music always in my life.. the first time I ever told another boy “I Love You” was while “Your Song” was playing. My heart broke at the end of the ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” concert. I think everyone was shedding a tear or two but wearing a smile. Thank you Elton for all the music and the memories.

[@khmaster12]

I love that most of these teens know Sir Elton and his songs. Gives me hope for the future of music.

[@stevenbaker107]

Yeah Jaxon knows all of the lyrics and songs that they play.

[@sshellhorn1]

JAXON YOUR VOICE BRO!!

[@wendydenning5709]

Oh my gosh Jackson is so adorable in this video just singing along and enjoying the music He's so precious I love him

[@starlitz6]

Can we just have Jaxon do a music react video of his top favorite songs???

[@jaymcs]

Jaxon knows his shit. My fav.

[@cameronburdette8565]

His parents are probably cool af

[@katiethebonelady]

Do these kids realize that not only was princess Diana of beloved person in general, but that she was a personal friend of Sir Elton John? Which makes his performance even more heartbreaking.

[@alifc1082]

Really endearing and encouraging that these kids know more or less Elton or just discover him, but they like his music and his fashion. Fun kids

[@brendastanford9545]

You know when I see all these reactions. I'm happy that the younger generation is being able to see what I grew up with. And yet no one was touched among upon the beautiful song daniel

[@lkf8799]

I love that Jaxon knows all the best Gen X music 🤗 Your parents have made sure you have great muscial taste! 🎶

[@jessallaround13]

I love that Jackson has been with us for so long. He's SO knowledgeable and clearly engages to support these videos.

[@kerrycronin3581]

Give the kid in the yellow a recording contract now!

[@marke7441]

I know

[@whedonite81]

I really enjoyed this video. It included all the Elton John moments immediately thought of and more! I was surprised the producer didn't bring up the fact that Elton was close friends with Princess Diana when the teens were saying how much pressure/how hard it must of been to sing at her funeral because of how beloved she was. It must have been even hard for him as someone who knew her on a more personal level.

[@otakubancho6655]

Sir Elton could sing the phone book and make it sound amazing!😍😍😍

[@musicandmoviefan9217]

You know you are an icon when generations all have the same feeling of love for you and your music!

[@kimboslice589]

I’ll always be grateful for being able to see his him in person for his final tour. It was incredible.

[@lindadeters8685]

It makes my heart glad to see these kids enjoy the same music that I did at about the same age, only many years apart.

[@cristaizzard4039]

As a child of the 70s and 80s, I'm very impressed that these young people now sir Elton John.😊

[@Veyron1967]

The lad in yellow is based. He's going to make a great father one day.

[@kiralynch2423]

Every vid, esp music

[@idalily3810]

I love how young people know all the words and notes of Elton John! Wow. And the dude in the yellow jacket needs to go into music as a career.

[@andreahamilton5947]

Great reactions. Jaxon also sounded great singing along with a Rocket Man.

[@polyliker8065]

He sounded great singing along to all of em.

[@runoffrelle3176]

I turned 18 yesterday, thank you for the best years of KZbin REACT

[@farmall1947]

Fun fact: The actor who voiced the gorilla in Sing played Sir Elton in the bio-movie Rocketman

[@kurtsudheim825]

That ls how he got the job

[@GiuseppeStromboliESQ]

Jaxon’s parents are good people.

[@ladycatsinger]

One of the dancers in I'm Still Standing is Bruno Tonioli, one of the judges on Dancing with the Stars. One of my friends from school got Elton'sfirst album for Christmas and she played Your Song on repeat so much that she wore the track out

[@brucedillinger9448]

Makes me very happy to see these young folk singing along to Reg. ✌

[@shyannec.2419]

It’s so crazy how the kids from kids react are now teens 🥹🤧

[@xavierklaw]

Sir Elton is an Icon. I have a relative that is staring his musical career and Elton has taken him under his wing and has really helped promote him. Thanks for all you do Elton!

[@leiasanchez348]

All due respect dua lipa did not put him on the map again. Elton is the map

[@danielkarlsson258]

Vivienne, Juliana and Kiefe were great in this. But Jaxon...Jaxon must me singing in a band and I really want to see them!

[@rebjack2]

Funny story: My husband and I were listening to Elton John, and "Can you feel the love tonight?" came on. My husband exclaimed, "I didn't know he covered this song!" I was like,"Really dude?" I thought everybody knew that he wrote it!

[@olivierrice6044]

ok, but can we just appreciate the blonde girl and yellow jacket guy's singing, cause they were good. Also Elton John is a natural treasure and must be protected at all costs

[@olivierrice6044]

short blonde hair girl to be specific

[@NashaWriter85]

The parents are raising these kids so dang correctly. Proud of Gen Z for just...rocking to Elton here.

[@DrizzFizzlebeatz]

Might be just them as well. Elton John is one of those rare talent that transcends generations.

[@NashaWriter85]

@@DrizzFizzlebeatz Thats true! Let me give credit, as well, to the teens for being open minded ^_^

[@norasmith2474]

I like that you included moments from award shows, Diana's funeral and the music video with RDJ. I think it helps show who they are culturally

So proud of these kids for knowing and loving these!

I love Jaxon dude, he knows so many songs and other things someone his age shouldn't. Very cool dude.

Right? I'm 40 and I love Jaxon and his knowledge.
