He used to sneak in the back, but I think the last time he came, he said, F*** it, and came in the front door. The press door-stopped him and asked him what he was doing there, he said, "I'm simply visiting a friend". God bless you Elton.

    Elton sang this song with love, loss, and honour. He has nowhere near the vocal range of Mercury, but he is a hell of a musician and knows how to make it sound good regardless of his restrictions. You don't need to have the highest vocal range to be a star. Freddie and Elton are both legends in their own ways. If only Freddie were still here.

      Elton did a good job here, he did make it sound good even though as has been stated here he doesn't have the voice, the incredible vocal range of Freddie Mercury. By the way, how many do? Appreciate each songs performance for what it is, and don't expect perfection from those that are not the originators of the song, but are doing their best as a tribute to a fallen comrade.

    For all the haters here, Freddie had 4 octaves, Elton got barely 3. Sure Freddie is the singer for this song, but this is his tribute concert. That means he is dead by this. How the hell he can sing it here then? Don't you get it? Im not Elton fan but he did just fine. Elton is an amazing singer. That's why they call him Sir Elton John. Too bad Freddie didn't even get a chance to perform this live. We'll miss you Fred. R.i.p.
    PS- i know he was knighted by the queen. But why would queen give him the honors if he wasn't a good musician. I know handful of musicians that have been Knighted by the queen. And i know even a few musicians like David Bowie who has turned down the offer.

      Elton's range is a bit smaller at this time, due to a surgery he had 87. It significantly lowered his range (by probably an octave and a half). There's a few songs of his he's had to lower in key so he can even do them live anymore.
      But still, this was a very touching tribute to Freddie, and to give credit where it's due, Elton in all honesty did a tremendous job with this song.

    Eltons voice was great in the 90's even after the voice surgery in 86/87 people need to understand Eltons voice isnt meant for Freddie's songs they are difficult and his range was unreal. Elton sounded great at his concerts all the way through the 90's.

      parafraseando a un comentario que hicieron en este mismo video, se nota que Elton no estaba queriendo hacer un cover, sino que mas bien queria cantar para recordar a su amigo. Vocalmente no es lo mejor que dio Elton, pero tiene todo el sentimiento y en mi opinion esta dejando la piel en la interpretacion.

    You can't compare Elton and Freddie. Completely different and unique both in their own way. Elton did a brilliant job here a few years after his vocal surgery which changed his voice completely.

      Maybe these people should have a good look at Elton in his prime, the seventies. He had a pretty impressive range then. Surgery and age changed his voice, but he's still a great singer. I wonder if Freddy was alive today he would still have that range or would age have changed it.

    It took me years to finally understand what a great cover this version was! Elton did great here. Of course no one can ever be able to recreate those notes as Freddie could but Elton did a tremendous job here! Great performance.

    Elton actually sounded alright on this. Y’all needa calm down, it takes balls to sing with queen because you’ll have everyone hate on you for “trying to replace Freddie” he sounded great. Good tribute man

    I’m 16 and I absolutely love Queen and I’m a old fashion music kind of teen Elton John did a really good job singing this song I think he deserve a lot of respect for doing this

    Elton said he loved this song, and of anyone, he knew full well what Freddie was going through when he sang the original. Great Tribute from a true Artist to another.
