Why Elton has remained so popular and at the forefront of music, he moved with the times, he supports the younger generation of musicians and helped them build a new legacy, really great to see
Olly did that with zero effort. His voice is amazing and he enjoyed himself. I can't look at him now without a lump in my throat, his acting was amazing in the series and the last 2 episodes were utterly heartbreaking. He's a real talent.
I feel this too. I can’t help but be reminded of him in that bed just wanting to be with his friends one last time 😩😩😩 He’s an incredible actor as well as performer and singer!!
@@MelanieNLee Normally, I don't like covers; but Eltons' version of "Lucy... " is the best cover I've ever heard, better than the Beatles & I also love the Beatles!!! 🙏✌❤
Even in this choreography there’s a quiet calmness with the pair of them. True stars both with nothing to prove. Imagine being Olly and looking over and seeing Elton John’s singing with you ... while Elton looks at Olly as if he’s thinking “another generation is in safe hands”. ❤️❤️
@@hayleydee9146 We don't need a win. What we need is to make the effort, send an entry and entrant that we can be proud of, put on a memorable show, and, eventually, in another few decades when Terry Wogan's nonsense of saying second place is losing and his conspiracy theory of buddy voting is finally forgotten, realise that Eurovision is not about winning or losing but about taking part in something bigger than a victory, with an act and song that you believe in and want to share with Europe and the world. I think Olly knows that and can be that, and so I was really happy when he was announced on Strictly to be our Eurovision act for 2024.
@@hakonsoreide Neighbour voting is not really a conspiracy. It's always been a thing, because people who are culturally similar to you probably will create music that's more relatable/familiar. That being said, its effect is usually not strong enough to determine the winner or drastically affect a nation's placing.
I love Britain. I love British music. I always want the UK to do well. But I'm often so disappointed with your entries. Especially when sending has-beens like Bonnie Tyler, Engelbert or Blue ... Come on .... Olly has got to be the one. I'm looking so much forward to it!
Their performance left me breathless, and in tears. As a nurse, I worked though the worst years of the AID's epidemic. My beautiful patient's suffering was unimaginable. In the early days we all felt so helpless in the wake of a disease that took so many bright lights from our world. I know all their radiant souls were shining down on this momentous occasion.
Not just a brilliant song, but a brilliant performance of the song. Elton didn't try and be the big star, he allowed the young performer the chance to let his voice shine through. The young guy had such a brilliant voice, I've never heard of him, until now.
We are so lucky to have Elton with us, when so many of his contemporaries are gone. Always a pleasure to see him collaborating with young artists like Olly and Rina
Finally!!!! The UK sending one of their top artists to ESC. Sending lesser artists and songs that does not even chart in the UK and then get really upset that people don't vote for it has infuriated me for many years. I wish them all the best with this one. Olly, let's goooooooo!!!!!!!
It's magical how much things have changed since elton started out. I bet he's so proud he's watched first hand how gays ect are more accepted and loved due to the likes of him. Truly am inspiration
Oh please. What did he do in the past for gays? Hiding and make do the hard work for other artists. Now we want to pretend he helped? NO. He might be gay but he did not do anything for the community.
@@StefanDot erm... the Elton John Aids Foundation has pumped $600m into AIDS research, treatments, programs and drug distribution. I'd say that was pretty major. Wanna compare your contribution?
@@StefanDot Sir Elton John has done more for the gay community than most of these attention seeking sexuality using over the top gay celebrities, youtubers, influencers

@@livb6945 you're right. I grew up watching a VHS of his 1974 show in Phildelphia where he wore bright gold sparkly costumes and glasses playing the piano upsidown, but since the late 80s he's really not done that. I think I just always remeber him from that video. He's definitely turned the camp down.. He's such an amazing entertainer either way.
I only watched It's a Sin a week ago and I have never felt such a plethora of emotions, it has left a real mark on me. This version of such an iconic anthem has elevated it further evoking the same emotions of immense joy and sadness; and what a performance by two truly wonderful artists... absolutely love it! The anthem of 2021.

He can't sing anymore when you get to a certain age singer's vocals are not what they were in their youth just take look back at his performances from way back and look at his award performance in 2021 the difference is quite obvious,some singer's give up performing because they realise that the voice isn't there anymore and others carry on thinking they still have it (although they categorically do not still have it)and it becomes excruciatingly painful to watch and so so embarrassing.
@@amarillagriffin7427 Of course Eltons voice is completly different now. Ageing, years of drug abuse and the vocal surgery have taken it's toll. But he always improved the way he sings. Most old musicians trying to sing there hits in the same range as 40 years ago and they sounding terrible. Elton knows about his current vocal range and adapts his songs to the lower key. That's what makes him still 'listenable' in my opinion. And I like his deep Barritone, fits very well to his ballads.

im so proud of olly! he's so talented and an incredible artist. so proud of him gaining the recognition that he deserves! so proud! love you olly, i cant wait for the new years&years era.
The most incredible performance I’ve ever seen at the brits. Olly and Elton were a perfect pairing for this. One who lived through it, and one who is continuing the fight and still in some ways living with the stigma of being LGBTQ+. Not sure if it was intensional but loving the little nod to Freddie Mercury at the “father forgive me” part. Love it! 👏🏻 ❤️
I kind of feel like the perf was a lil contrived and a bit TOO mimic-y; i could SEE where Weiland, Mercury and Rose were his inspo, it just came off a lil flat and obvs. Its GREAT to respect and be inspire BY the greats but you gotta be REAL careful not to be THIS copy-catty.
This made me cry. I dont even know why, but this eternal freedom on the main stage with all those lights made me feel so proud, made me feel like I belong. Thank you guys!!! This made my day

Heck yeah -- proud of you for being a trailblazer. I danced to this in a small gay bar in a small town in Missouri, circa 1993. Such a moment in time for so many of us.

Simply beautiful, iconic song, iconic performer, a true legend and I'm listening more and more to Ollie's songs, a star in the making for a future generation!
I got goosebumps listening to this earlier on tonight. An Elton John and Ollie Alexander colab is never what I expected but I never realised I needed it so badly
Ahead at his time and born to win, Sir Elton John has been the soundtrack of my entire life since long, long time ago. A remastered person, he's still standing after all this time. This video shows it very clear. Blessings to Sir Elton John.
Tonya Marinaro, Congratulations from a 2+1/2 year cancer survivor!!! My Elton helped me through my healing process with his beautiful voice & music!!! I love him 49 years!!! 🙏✌❤
So cool ! Why haven’t I watched this earlier ! 2 amazing artists of different generation working so well together! Elton john is indeed amazing to collaborate with Olly, he really is open minded and a true artist ! Great duo !
cant believe im living in the same timeline as elton john, but GROWING UP WITH YEARS AND YEARS??? olly’s going down in history and im so lucky i can see him bloom
This is for me the most classy, beautiful performance. Olly’s aura is off the scale. I have just turned 60 but I feel a lot younger now! I am inspired.
Wow that was amazing. Definitly one of Ollys best live performances ever. His live singing skills improved so much. And i love how Elton and Olly harmonize
Es ist unfassbar. Einen Song der bereits sehr gut war, noch ein mal zu verbessern. Ein riesen Kompliment an Elton John und Band. Das ist ja wohl der Wahnsinn.... Echt krass !!!
I can tell Elton is having a great time performing with Olly . That was fantastic. He loves his fans but how many times can you play the same set of songs over and over? I’m sure he loves the new experience. I did too
Can any performance top this? Elt always at the top of his game, Olly with a whole heap of game left. A tiny island filled with such creativity. Bravo!
@@shawnsnow2655 it aint like no one has watched it other than u. we have watched it but that time has passed. i like elton more than queen its just my taste.
@@satyabratamishra4670 funny how ive never heard of this performance actually talked about as an all time performance until just now. By you and this person. Queens performance then is still considered one of the best, if not the best ever.
*This version of the song "It's a Sin" by the duo Pet Shop Boys, voiced by Olly Alexandre and Elton John, was simply divine. Marcelo, from São Luís-MA, Brazil.*
I lived through the AIDS epidemic and had forgotten how bad it was. Olly absolutely brought it all back in Its a Sin, an amazing actor, and now I’ve just found out an amazing performer. Elton you smashed it as usual! But together, last night, with an awesome song, yes I love the Pet Shop Boys, you two men, absolutely %1000 stole that show!!! Keep playing it back to watch it again and again.

So damn dizzy😂😂😂Olly is an angel

Just imagine if Freddie Mercury was alive and him performing with young artists too. That would be legendary.
Or David Bowie
I was thinking this - Elton, Freddie and Olly. A powerful trio to come together for this song and honour HIV / AIDS. It’s very much a shame :(
@Deanna W. or just musical legends in general. It's not only gay people who support AIDS charity.
@@catrinstallon373 nobody said they were the only ones

AHHIS TRUE NEVER FORGETTT THE GREAT PET SHOP BOOOOYSSSS...
Now this Song buys Elton John from Pet Shop Boys because he help Years & years
Not even close to the original
Freddie Mercury would be proud. He would have been fantastic accompanying these two great singers. The three of them would be unstoppable
You read my minds...
im so proud of olly! he's so talented and an incredible artist. so proud of him gaining the recognition that he deserves! so proud! love you olly, i cant wait for the new years&years era.
The most incredible performance I’ve ever seen at the brits. Olly and Elton were a perfect pairing for this. One who lived through it, and one who is continuing the fight and still in some ways living with the stigma of being LGBTQ+. Not sure if it was intensional but loving the little nod to Freddie Mercury at the “father forgive me” part. Love it! 👏🏻 ❤️
I'm sure it was. The whole performance was amazing. I would have liked a few more close ups on Olly and Sir Elton but it was brilliant
I kind of feel like the perf was a lil contrived and a bit TOO mimic-y; i could SEE where Weiland, Mercury and Rose were his inspo, it just came off a lil flat and obvs. Its GREAT to respect and be inspire BY the greats but you gotta be REAL careful not to be THIS copy-catty.
Yes, I loved the tribute to Freddie Mercury and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody at that part. A tribute is not copying: it's a tribute.
This made me cry. I dont even know why, but this eternal freedom on the main stage with all those lights made me feel so proud, made me feel like I belong.
Thank you guys!!! This made my day
Same here. Never been prouder
Agree. Incredibly powerful. So many people's pain reflected in these words and their devastatingly beautiful delivery.

Regardless of motivations, Elton is eternal in the rock history books. He's seeing his days dwindling and has a lot to say. We love him for a lifetime of great music no matter what.
Elton john knows how to always blyze my skin. No matter what time we are in, Elton John will always shine like a huge star

I came out in the 90s when I was 18 , my parents kicked me out of the house , this became my hymn .... glad things have change ...
Attaboy 😎
Heck yeah -- proud of you for being a trailblazer. I danced to this in a small gay bar in a small town in Missouri, circa 1993. Such a moment in time for so many of us.

I admire you so much for your older generations paving away for younger people like me and many others to be our true self!

The staging of this song and the way they deliver this is fabulous.

Simply beautiful, iconic song, iconic performer, a true legend and I'm listening more and more to Ollie's songs, a star in the making for a future generation!
I love that Elton gives Ollie this big beaming smile as if to say "you have this"
This performance is a masterpiece! This is forever!
I got goosebumps listening to this earlier on tonight. An Elton John and Ollie Alexander colab is never what I expected but I never realised I needed it so badly
Hello dear friend how are you doing
One of the most iconic live performances I have ever seen. Incredible.
🌈 magnífico ❤❤
You need to get out more
STAAAAAAAAAP It!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elton John it's just perfect in everything
Of course he's Elton John!!! 🙏✌❤
Bassically
Elton John is a legend to allow other contemporary artists space, this is massively gay, on the edge and fucking fabulous! Love it!
Elton is a legend and has done so much for AIDS awareness and fundraising over decades. xoxo
Olly is an amazing artist. So strong and fragile at the same time. An incredile singer, performer and actor. Respect
Ahead at his time and born to win, Sir Elton John has been the soundtrack of my entire life since long, long time ago. A remastered person, he's still standing after all this time. This video shows it very clear. Blessings to Sir Elton John.
Go to bed, David.
They really said "we are going to give the most camp performance we can this year" and ran with it
THIS ON THE DAY I'M TOLD I'M 2 YEARS CANCER FREE. THANK YOU GOD
So happy for you .God bless you and keep you safe.xxx
Wonderful 👏
Awesome mate
That’s amazing! Congratulationsss
Tonya Marinaro, Congratulations from a 2+1/2 year cancer survivor!!! My Elton helped me through my healing process with his beautiful voice & music!!! I love him 49 years!!! 🙏✌❤
So cool ! Why haven’t I watched this earlier ! 2 amazing artists of different generation working so well together! Elton john is indeed amazing to collaborate with Olly, he really is open minded and a true artist ! Great duo !
Its maybe I'm too emotional today but Elton John singing It's A Sin had make me cry, it's so moving!!!!
He wasn't that bad Hun 🤣🤣🤣
@@francesthompson8999 he is saying that elton was amazing and excellent. u got it all wrong xd
Big Pet Shop Boys fan, big fan of the original song and still... I find this beautiful. Well done Elton. Well done Olly.
cant believe im living in the same timeline as elton john, but GROWING UP WITH YEARS AND YEARS??? olly’s going down in history and im so lucky i can see him bloom
Elton, Pet Shop Boys y Years & Years. Calidad al máximo!
Absolute genius ❤
This is for me the most classy, beautiful performance. Olly’s aura is off the scale.
I have just turned 60 but I feel a lot younger now!
I am inspired.
Wow that was amazing.
Definitly one of Ollys best live performances ever. His live singing skills improved so much.
And i love how Elton and Olly harmonize
Respect to Olly for dropping the key significantly from his solo version to suit Elton 😎 Enjoyed hearing the lower end of his range.
It’s in the same key (C Minor).

@@johnyehdego8418 th-cam.com/video/YT1FF6ug-bw/w-d-xo.html olly sang it in a lower key at the Brits than he usually does
@@kellynicholls9917 Thanks for the link, but both performances are in the key of C Minor.
Элтон Джон - бесспорно, один из интереснейших музыкантов. И сегодня. Долгих лет, сэр Элтон🙏
Sir Elton John .. it’s a sin how great your music is... and I feel a sin coming on!
Hello dear friend nice meeting you
In my opinion, this was the performance of the night!
Same here Coldplay 2
Love seeing all the nice comments about Elton John. He's a living legend.
Hi Mary
And I also love this track performed by the "Pet Shop Boys". The best boys! ❤️❤️❤️🔥
I adore Eltons smile at Ollie
This makes me so proud, Olly and Elton together is a masterpiece! Awesomeness 🌈
What ever gomez
@Orderis cope 🗿
It's just a shame PSB were unable to be there as well. This rendition is gorgeous.
Beautiful OLLY

Hello dear friend how are you doing today
Lets make it 400 likes 👊🏻
No it’s not lol
Elute
Nobody cares
Es ist unfassbar. Einen Song der bereits sehr gut war, noch ein mal zu verbessern. Ein riesen Kompliment an Elton John und Band. Das ist ja wohl der Wahnsinn.... Echt krass !!!
Anything Olly touches turns to gold..he is quite simply incredible- who wouldn't want to sing with him!
Well if everything olly touches turns to gold then eltons knob will be gold by morning 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@francesthompson8999 is that meant to be funny darling-
@@francesthompson8999 😂😂😂😂😂
@@francesthompson8999 pisser.
How are you doing?
I can tell Elton is having a great time performing with Olly . That was fantastic. He loves his fans but how many times can you play the same set of songs over and over? I’m sure he loves the new experience. I did too
I think it’s a sin that it takes a amazing song thanks to the pet shop boys that we finally listen and thanks to Elton and Ollie.
They are the perfect artist couple!!!!..... I love their stage complicity!!!...... Splendid performance!
Can any performance top this? Elt always at the top of his game, Olly with a whole heap of game left. A tiny island filled with such creativity. Bravo!
Umm Queen 1985 Live Aid...check it out.
Hi Anna how are you doing
@@shawnsnow2655 it aint like no one has watched it other than u. we have watched it but that time has passed. i like elton more than queen its just my taste.
@@satyabratamishra4670 funny how ive never heard of this performance actually talked about as an all time performance until just now. By you and this person. Queens performance then is still considered one of the best, if not the best ever.
*This version of the song "It's a Sin" by the duo Pet Shop Boys, voiced by Olly Alexandre and Elton John, was simply divine. Marcelo, from São Luís-MA, Brazil.*
Olly Alexander
Не плохо🤔🤫🥰
I lived through the AIDS epidemic and had forgotten how bad it was. Olly absolutely brought it all back in Its a Sin, an amazing actor, and now I’ve just found out an amazing performer. Elton you smashed it as usual! But together, last night, with an awesome song, yes I love the Pet Shop Boys, you two men, absolutely %1000 stole that show!!!
Keep playing it back to watch it again and again.
Thanks for your lovely comment and support I really appreciate your effort in my music career 💕💕 please kindly contact me with my email address on hangout messager for more coversation Thank you privateemail531@Email.com
I discovered that this super performer, moving so natural in harmony with rhe music and singing on the piano is Olly; wauw he s giving an outstanding,impressive joyful piece of his talent, hope to hear and see more of this artist,thank u Olly!!
This just brought me to tears!!!! xxx A legend and a legend in the making!!!!!xxxx
olly never ceases to amaze me with his amazing performance skills and it was also great to see this collab with elton after watching the interview they did together a few months back :)
Let’s go Eurovision. Bring it on…I’m speechless, well done, the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 Love from Armenia 🇦🇲
Same he knows how to own a stage so happy he's representing us in the UK next year
Such a beautiful and meaningful song. Always loved the message and this is a great version. Everyone deserves love and to love whoever they want.
Содомия🖤 этот смертный грех,все содомиты будут вечно мучиться в аду🔥🔥🔥
Fabulous. His voice he so strong. The piano is an extension of his soul
So true. That's how it was when he was a child and that's how it'll be when he passes to an angel. 😇 🎵 🎶 🎤 🎙
100% the best performance of the night
Such a spectacular performance Olly and Elton, congratulations.
You danced brilliantly Olly, everything brought joy to the stage even if it was a sin.
I m a PSB fan... and this is GOLD. Bravo !
Elton is the greatest. What a humble and amazing being.
Elton sounded fantastic. He was the real winner that night.
Michael David Of course, he's Elton John!!! ELTOOOOOOOOOOON!!! 🙏✌❤
@@standingelton6375 And the one that's gonna be remembered in 10 yrs time unlike artists of today
I agree!!!
I love to hear you sing and play the piano Sir Elton John! I just wish I had the opportunity to see you in concert one time!!! I love your
I love your songs and OMG I get lost in my own mind when you play the piano. I hope you can come back to Georgia cause I had planned to come to the Fair well concert but I was really, really sick. Keep doing what you are doing
It left me speechless. Both Elton and Olly were absolutely perfect! ❤️❤️❤️
Olly's most amazing performance with the legendary sir Elton John ❤
Brilliant performance from two icons, one who led the way Elton and a new vital force in Olly. Their stand for LGBT rights and awareness shows true, real and overwhelming courage, their artistic talents are without doubt truly amazing.
@@mcc7908 Elton John was outrageous decades before anyone else. He's done it all.
@@mcc7908 Interesting comment
@@jaggass yes elton set the standards. he set the way for lgbtq artists. first huge gay artist sir elton john. still cant believe his career started back in 1970. he is very up to date.
NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD NEED THIS PERFORMANCE. NOW IM DYING FOR MORE
I completely agree, I'm working from home and have this on repeat and max volume :)
That's one of my favourite performances EVER ❤️
