I assume he always perfomed "Live" unlike some of the acts he mentioned etc.

I concur

He does. He's one of the few people who can get away with slagging that shower of numpties off.

Elton John is one of my all time favourites.O

I may have to put some of his stuff on if I can get Muse off


He is also really good mates with Gary Barlow which shows what good taste he has

Well then. He's no hypocrite.He's right as regards some of  todays "performers" with their  enhanced  vocals etc or even no vocals.

I love it when Elton gets a bee in his bonnet about something - he just lets rip

He has a point.  Cheryl Cole is absolutely shite.  Most people who are autotuned sound better, but she still sounds crap.    She has a horrible voice.  Heaven knows why she is successful.  She just has no talent.

I agree with him ,he has the talent to challenge and expose them.
They could always sing live and prove him wrong

I really don't think she's as bad as the press she's getting, but everyone to their own 

I don't either, but if she mimes she's not really a singer. He's quite right. Ditto Westlife who are unashamedly talentless anyway.

but they do get off their stools in unison....that's talent!!........

Stools.....sniggers!

And sometimes, I bet Elton wishes he'd asked them to mime...  

He is one of the "old school" performers and has now become a dad and a grumpy old man. He has his views which in some repects i agree with, yet the people he is slagging off will just carry on as usual laughing it off. What was surprising to me was that he said Lady GaGa is a star of the future. ( Quoted from Fridays Daily Mirror)

Well that's cleared it all up then. He's off his fekkin rocker 

We're all gonna have our own opinions Prom  allthough I think Gaga's an oddball, she's harmless 

Elton John surely belongs in the same bland musical department as all the other people mentioned on this thread. I enjoy listening to his opinions mind.

Elton John, Mr Exciting and innovative? No. But bland? Well, if you want bland personified I present to you ladies and gentleman Carlos Santana . I'm sure he wrote all his music in an elevator while people visited various floors in the building.

 This should be good!

   My ears have just committed suicide. 

Elton`s face is a picture!  

Off to bed now afore the s**t hits the fan. Night all and thanks for the chats

 I love Plan B's music, but I don't think I'd want to see them live! 

I think that you may have mistaken my previous mention of Mr Santana as some sort of support for him. The secret Carlos Santana chord progression is actually a piss take from a superior guitarist. He remains the Chelsea of the guitarist world. Did anyone see the Peter Green prog tonight? Wasn't it great ?

The truth is, we all have differing opinions, you're never gonna please all of the people all of the time  

Yes, you mentioned that before. Sorry, I forgot 

Aren't guitarists great though?

  Don`t think you`ve got a choice Blizzie. He just died on stage. 

Lady Gaga is only doing what Madge did  twenty/thirty odd years ago.Just the technology is better now.

Speaking as one, yes they are! The other ones need to get their act together though. Apart from Johnny Marr, Angus Young, Brian May etc....

Where is Hendrix from that list? Brian May. Big hair but knows how to play a tune or 6

I love him too but more of an enigma with a guitar than a legendary guitarist for me, soz 

Isn't it a bit late for Jimmy to get his act together?
