FIRST TIME HEARING Elton John - Something About The Way You Look Tonight REACTION

[@CreedBrattonTheOffice]

"The One" is another one of my favourite Elton songs. You definitely need to check that one out.

[@davidhuggan6315]

Definitely. A karaoke favourite of mine, and beautiful song and lyrics

[@ryanrysdale2214]

I’m so glad people are suggesting this song, as I feel it’s so underrated

[@davidhuggan6315]

@@ryanrysdale2214 And I feel Elton's voice was at its strongest between 1990 and 1999

[@ryanrysdale2214]

Agreed. There is a depth to it that’s different to when he was younger.

[@hopesteadholesworks1604]

The song we chose for when my wife walked down the aisle on our wedding day. Such a beautiful and underrated song

[@dmbrew54]

"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" will definitely take you for a ride like no other Elton John song. Imagine getting lyrics from Bernie and coming up with this.

[@guarddave]

This was the "B" side of his "Candle in the Wind" tribute to Princess Diana. When I first played it, I couldn't believe it! Fantastically powerful!

[@robdaviesprogm]

Both songs actually shared A-Side status on this one. The true B-Side was "You Can Make History (Young Again)", a song that had itself been an A-Side a year prior, though it didn't do very well.

[@guarddave]

For whatever reason, my CD single does not contain "You Can Make History". (???) @@robdaviesprogm

[@robdaviesprogm]

@@guarddave Strange. Is it the version with the white rose and blue background on the cover?

[@guarddave]

Yes, I see you are correct. But "You Can Make History" is not printed anywhere on the rose CD inlay card.

[@robdaviesprogm]

@@guarddave That's really interesting! Wikipedia says that "History" was the B-Side worldwide, but Google Images is showing a *lot* of back covers that don't have the song listed on there. Maybe it was only included in certain territories? I'm not sure.

[@loup4343]

Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winning artist Elton John. The 19th EGOT winner in the world. What a great talent.

[@thomaadye5620]

You 2 will love "I Don't wanna go on with you like that." Another Elton classic. Amazing reaction as usual. 😊

[@juliewhite7469]

❤😊❤

[@thcdad3632]

'I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That'.....FIRE

[@juliewhite7469]

❤😊❤

[@FelixcatGarcia]

When I haven't heard this song for a while and it comes on, it takes my breath away.

[@tinahairston6383]

This is just one of my all-time favorites from Elton.

[@S_Loucks]

Jay and Amber, This was the B-side to Candle in the Wind, the tribute to Princess Diana, in 1997. The B-side became an A-side when radio started playing the track more than the Princess Di tribute. Together, the double A-sided 45 became the biggest selling record of all time (not counting Christmas songs) and stayed at #1 for 14 weeks. I keep looking for you to listen to my all-time favorite song, "Philadelphia Freedom," which is his tribute to Billie Jean King (her tennis team was the Philadelphia Freedoms). The song is a masterpiece and was even performed by Elton on Soul Train! It's an absolute gem. And it was a huge number one hit in 1975.

[@robdaviesprogm]

This song was released as a double A-Side with "Candle in the Wind 1997" (the rewrite for Princess Diana). This single was what drew me into Elton's music in a way that it hadn't previously (for context, I was 13 at the time). I then went down the incredible rabbit hole that is his back catalogue. "Something About the Way" is often overlooked due to the overexposure it got at the time because it was on the Diana single. Thank you for shining some light on it.

[@patriciapotter5052]

My favorite Elton song is Philadelphia Freedom.

[@S_Loucks]

YES!!!! My all-time favorite tune!

[@wilmagarrett3868]

I love this song. Elton John is amazing.

[@BrendaU3]

I lovvvve this song! Elton John has always been awesome with his music. And yes, Philadelphia Freedom was one of my favs!

[@seanswinton6242]

This song is special for me because I met my girlfriend discussing Elton John. I remember us attending an Elton John concert, dancing and singing this song toneach other. Definitely one.of his best ballads ever! EJ is one of Rocks greatest artist and piano men ever! A total genius.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Philadelphia Freedom" and "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" !!!! (i'm guessing on the blocked list?)

[@VikingJeff]

I would love these two as well. I have seen reactions to them by others.

[@cameroncopus9737]

Island girl is another good one

[@amandawilmot6780]

Omg I love Philadelphia Freedom 😭😭😭

[@johnscheunemann5630]

Funeral for a Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding is a must!

[@VikingJeff]

Another one of my favorites. So many.@@cameroncopus9737

[@jennifermartin7791]

Came out in 1997. Still puts flutters in my stomach all these years later.

[@DaeronK]

Nice to see you listen to more of Elton's later catalogue.

[@MetryTyger]

Hi Jay and Amber. Jay I know you love piano and Amber I know you love Bernie's lyrics. When you get a chance, I again please ask you to review 2 Elton classics that combine both: "Ticking" (from Caribou album), and "Indian Sunset" (Madman Across the Water). You think you knew Elton before. OMG - these 2 will B.L.O.W. Y.O.U. A.W.A.Y. :) Enjoy y'all's reactions soooo much. Bill in Metairie/NOLA. :)

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Believe, You Gotta Love Someone and This Train Don't Stop are three of my favourites - that I don't think you've done yet. And you MUST watch his duet with George Michael - Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. It will BLOW you both out of your chairs. Hugs from Ontario, Canada! :)

[@shirleybuffington6420]

Would LOVE too see them react to that one that is my favorite Elton song

[@andrewkeane9077]

Dont forget his duet with Eric Clapton on Runaway Train.

[@stumm71]

I agree with you. For me This Train Don’t stop there anymore it’s my favorite Elton’s song and the video is superb!

[@penniea9098]

This is one of favorite Elton John songs.

[@vince4871]

I'm going to say it again! FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND/ LOVE LIES BLEEDING! Is a must!

[@shaneluttrell532]

YESSSSS!!!!

[@debbiel.1655]

YES!! I keep waiting.....

[@Dale0888Jr]

Im still just as captivated by this song as i was when i first heard it as a child in the 90s

[@richardkint6531]

I remember this being the "b" side of the "Candle In The Wind 1997" single a tribute to Princess Diana. A good song in its own right. Only about another 100 EJ songs to go! 😅 React to "Island Girl" or "The Bitch Is Back" next. Thanks. 😎

[@S_Loucks]

Yes to "The Bitch Is Back!"

[@barryh.4220]

Fantastic singer ...... and this is a brilliant song.

[@clemsongirl1990]

I recommend Elton John's I Want Love (with the video). It's not one of his most popular songs but it's one of my favorites. I saw him years ago with Billy Joel (The Rocket Man & Piano Man tour) at Clemson's football stadium and it was awesome.

[@jamesmiller1048]

Just a legend.

[@MiracleFound]

Love this song and Elton John

[@josephadiaz8343]

Your right you can never go wrong with Sir Elton John, loved him since I was ten in the early 70s, LoL since "Crocodile Rock".♥️🙏✝️✌️😎

[@TracyfromNC]

Philadelphia Freedom...what a banger!

[@julzy3]

Sir Elton John has had so many hits that I knew I must know this song, but I couldn't remember it at all until it began. He was known for Pinball Wizard, but he was a hit wizard.🔥🥇

[@Xtinakattv]

This is my favorite Elton song

[@Francisco-xu8ef]

This is one of Elton John's best songs. It exudes maturity and class.

[@MsBananasmel]

One of my fave songs.

[@32a34a]

Another great song like this is the criminally under rated song The One. Just a great song not to mention the music video is amazing. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the great 1974 song Harmony.

[@Rockaria23]

One of my faves by him along with 'The One' & 'I Want Love' 😊

[@mlgn21]

Great reaction! You guys should definitely react to the live version of this song that Elton did with Shania Twain, it is magical!

[@SeanONeill-ef5vb]

This is the biggest selling single in the UK. Double A side with Candle in the Wind, tribute to Princess Diana.

[@afrogirl757]

Have you reacted to Philadelphia Freedom? Came out in '75 I think. It was def early disco and paid living homage to TSOP, the sound of Philadelphia. The TSOP sound was huge in the mid 70s. Plenty of the strings and horns in the tight orchestration.

[@S_Loucks]

YES!!!!

[@brucefrancis6222]

The 50's we had Elvis, 60's we had the greatest band ever in The Beatles and the 70's -2024 generations have had Elton!

[@bigcat4376]

Just beautiful ❣️

[@vandergod]

Thank you! There is something about this song that appeals to me. I’ve always loved it.

[@nighteyes555]

I’m so glad that you did this song, it’s one of my favorites, I can play this one on repeat!

[@jmtz23]

Guys you'll love his "Healing Hands" , released in 1989 and was a top-20 hit in the United States

[@broniex14]

I don’t know why I always feel very emotional with this song ❤

[@kimmiebalestri8831]

Elton John is just the knees bees!! He turns out hit after hit.

[@kellyhilton2330]

Love this song❤ love your channel too ❤️

[@kellimartin2454]

Plz react to Sir Elton and George Michael performance of DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME. , ❤️🙏

[@TracyfromNC]

That duo is GREAT!

[@humpty_bln]

Never seen this video. But the sentiment of that song is so relatable and beautiful. Elton has some amazing songs

[@mt0115]

I started listening to Sir Elton around about 1971 ish with his album Tumbleweed Connection, then right away to Madman Across The Water and been a fan ever since. This selection is not one of my personal favourites in comparison to some of his other work, but having said that anytime and selection of songs by him is okay by me. 🍺😎☮️

[@seanswinton6242]

I began hearing Elton John as a toddler. I strictly remember hearing my older siblings playing "Your Song" along side Michael Jackson's "Ben"- the first record I bought as a 45 for $1.50. There was never a time when EJ wasn't playing in my home, job, or school even! I picked up on his music instantly especially because of his outfits on television! I, like many, have literally grown up with Elton John's music as my life's soundtrack!

[@kathibailey2926]

One of my most favorite

[@scottvanhille5688]

Another song played inside CVS, heard it a lot. Such a classic. So mellow. Elton is a legend.

[@Tobiasmax3000]

Have you guys heard “Candle In The Wind” yet? Beautiful song 🎵

[@marieneu264]

As a pianist, there’s nobody I enjoy more than Elton and Billy Joel. My piano teacher from 4 years old until I was 12, tried to make me play all the classical musicians, and I did, but she knew my heart wasn’t in it. She finally let me start doing one modern artist a month when I was 12. I stayed with her until I was 18 and left due college. She played at my wedding, and she played mostly modern songs. ❤️

[@judyparks5016]

That is a lovely story. ❤🙏

[@rexgoodheart3471]

So, as a New Orleans native I'm loving your Pelicans cap... but more than that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song... certainly among Sir Elton's top five songs... it's just astoundingly beautiful and romantic. And THAT VOICE. My God. I can't decide if he or Ray Charles is the greatest singer we've ever had... but what a wonderful choice that question is.

[@aleksanderfinstad5785]

A real feel good song of Bernie/Elton John songs ❤

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

Another great song from Elton. Whether it be ballads, pop or rock, he just hits the spot and moves you. Another great song by him is 'Religion'-Colin Ward

[@onitogames]

Amazing vídeo, amazing song, amazing people, luv you guys! Keep going with The Channel! A Hug from Bruno from Brazil!

[@Ccg9024]

“The one” is an another great Elton song.

[@sandeevaughn5082]

I’ve just recently discovered you guys and I love your reactions! I’ve had the privilege of seeing Elton John in concert 3 times, the last concert was during his final tour. One of my absolute favorites of his isn’t well known, but he has stated he feels it was underrated. Please give Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters a listen! He truly is the soundtrack to my life!

[@vastolive8]

He sang with Olivia Newton-John his famous song "Candle in the wind" in 1980, hope we can hear it soon.

[@dinomustang]

My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing him live a couple years ago and we were so glad we did...amazing show and SO many good songs, my favorite being "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"

[@stormsbrewingnc5898]

Sir Elton John. ❤ I love y’all’s reactions .

[@andreagageby4854]

Best Elton John song of the 90s in my opinion I was in high school when it come out been singing it at karaoke for 25 plus years

[@barryh.4220]

Yep, I'd agree with you .....

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

I LOVE THE ORGAN IN THIS SONG!!! It is just under the other instruments but when it comes through it is powerful!

[@shaneluttrell532]

Awesome! Elton John is so fantastic. I think you'd really love some songs from his down-home album "Tumbleweed Connection". I'd recommened "Country Comfort" and "Where to Now St. Peter" for starters! I hope you both have a wonderful day!

[@ryanrysdale2214]

He has done a duet with Leann Rimes called written in the stars, which is awesome. Also The One is a fantastic song, one of my favourites. The 90s is my favourite era of Elton’s.

[@roystringfellow943]

Elton John is amazing!

[@rickycole6327]

Guys this song came out the same year Princess Diana left us (1997) one of Elton's big hits of the 1990s. guys 1975 was a big year for Elton he had 2 number one songs that year Philadelphia Freedom and Island Girl and in 1979 he had a top ten record Mama can't buy you love probably his most underrated song hope you consider these songs in the near future. keep up the great work guys.

[@reidawilliams9375]

Elton John! The name says it all! What a legend!!!

[@Scooterboi60]

Beautiful song and again, a great reaction. “Ticking” from the 1974 album “Caribou”, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding from 1973’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”, “The Last Song” from the 1992 album “The One” which, like “Sacrifice” being Bernie’s bookend to “Your Song”, could be the bookend to the 1970 song “The Greatest Discovery” from the “Elton John” album.

[@ManuelJr-z6t]

Love you two, my family.

[@juliewhite7469]

Love this song 🎶 ❤😊

[@TheNukewarfare2]

One of my first memories of Elton John was seeing him perform this song on Oprah. I’ve loved his music ever since, and this is definitely a song I want my husband and I dance to at our wedding.

[@paulbriody297]

Lovely.

[@eskayh7734]

This is my song! Chill-inducing, romancey-dancey goodness! You couldn't not rock with it Jay.

[@Mama_San]

My favorite Elton John song.

[@cog4life]

A really beautiful one 😊❤❤

[@chrismcdonagh688]

Seen Elton live a few times, always brilliant. One of the concerts was the year this song was a hit, we were about 6 rows from the front and I caught a drum stick that was thrown into the crowd (not a chicken one 😁). So many great tunes of his to suggest but Kiss The Bride, The Club At The End Of The Street , Sad Songs Say So Much , Whitewash County and Runaway Train (featuring Eric Clapton) are great tunes.

[@robertfraser9873]

It's a great video trying to spot every famous face. The UK tv show was massive at the time and he put the cast in the video. ❤❤

[@lisasmith2660]

You really need to do the film 'Rocket man" which is Elton John's life story it is full of his music and so interesting and when your as old as me i could remember alot of what happened but the film gave you behind the scenes

[@davidhuggan6315]

I love "Made in England" by Elton from 1995, where the lyrics were written by Bernie but the story was Elton's childhood and early adulthood. Great tune too!

[@stevehamilton8824]

Check out - "I Don't Wanna Go On with You Like That", ". Also, a supergroup with Elton, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick & Gladys Knight - "That's What Friends are For".

[@pattymckitrick7436]

THANK YOU ! ❤️

[@tdub102]

from 1997. that was the year i saw him in concert the first time.

[@madious6547]

"Healing hands" is another song you have to react, you gotta love it. Love you guys.✌

[@peterjohn1217]

Yes! Thank you so much guys for doing this song. It's my favorite EJ song. About the video, it features a bunch of UK celebrities from the 90s. Most famous is model Kate Moss. Includes the cast of hit show This Life which starred Walking Dead actor Andrew Lincoln.

[@chrislogan5228]

Elton John just became an EGOT winner as well as being a Rock & Roll Hall of famer both greatly deserved !!! Also he had atleast one #1 song every year for 25 straight years he is a Legend !!

[@paulraymond-bf8db]

I always tear up with this song because it's exactly how my husband makes me feel after 20 years. ❤

[@thomaspugh6052]

Cheap trick " l want you to want me" another great 70 song!

[@chrisferguson2736]

The single and its video were dedicated to the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, who died that year

[@GNXXRAY]

You guys have not even done one of his best…”The One.” That song is absolutely incredible

[@fensti2822]

The entire "Elton John" album is worth a listen. Love the songs "Sixty Years On", "The Greatest Discovery" and "Take me to the Pilot" from that album

[@DebraJohnson-k3z]

Agree. The album “Elton John” is flawless. One of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is a masterpiece🎹

[@PurpleCinnamon-Land-Of-Misfits]

I know I'm late to this reaction but the way you love this song, Elton and they way Jay loves Shania Twain you gotta react to when they performed this song together at one of Shania's concerts from back in the day, trust me you will love it just as much❕️❗️

[@Motchy92]

I want to have the talent of Elton John

[@markowhit4604]

My 2nd favourite song of Elton's or maybe 3rd haha

[@cflo1023]

This is a major Elton John/Bernie Taupin favorite!!!

[@whitespider99]

Amber & Jay, here are some other good Elton John songs to react to: "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That", "Mama Can't Buy You Love", "Sad Songs (Say So Much)", "Sick City", "Harmony", and "Salvation".

[@VikingJeff]

Love "Sick City". A hidden jem.
