This was by far one of the saddest days of my life Princess Diana was taken way too soon she will be so missed we love you Diana❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Her legend is still burning strong.
The world misses you, Queen of Hearts!
❤️
This performance under these circumstances is beyond human. Absolutely other worldly.
Have not see this since her funeral and I'm crying. She meant so much to so many of us.
I see it live on TV, i was 11 years, still i Love Elton ❤️
when they drove her coffin 70 miles to her families estate, people lined the roads and motorways all the way, throwing flowers onto the car. Everyone on the other side of the motorway stopped their cars and got out to bow their heads as the vehicle containing her coffin passed by. It was lovely to see. She is buried on an island in the middle of a lake in the grounds with 37 oak trees planted around it. One for every year of her life. No one knows the exact location of her grave except the family and a few VIP's All you could hear was people crying in the streets and sobbing. She wasnt perfect, but no one is. She was a perfect Princess. RIP Diana.
I still feel like it was yesterday. When he did this when princess diana death. I want her back so much this world isn't the same.
The brightest display of talent ever
Even though I was born 4 years after she passed away. Diana's life and death touched me deeply. She became somehow my ideal of what a princess is supposed to be. Beautiful inside and out, and with a loving heart.
You could see that during her public and private life she wasn't just performing for the cameras. She genuinely cared about others. This was a fitting tribute song because Diana really was England's rose. A lovely rose, that was taken from us way to soon.
It's been 26 years now since her tragic death, and she is still missed more than ever.
Rest in peace, dear princess. We will always bring you in our hearts. ❤🌹
I was gutted during this day. I watched every minute of her funeral. And the only time I smiled was when Queen Elizbeth bowed her head when her coffin came passed her. And this song became iconic. I bought it the day after her funeral because the money went to Diana's charities.
Sir Elton John and Di were close friends. Imagine how heartbroken he were performing this in her honor not as princess or whatever the public wanted her to be. This is nothing but a hymn to friendship and that is why Elton falters not. These are his words to her.
This can still make me fill up after all these years. Beautiful reaction.
A moment I will never forget. It is difficult to have composure while singing at a funeral much less on this kind of huge stage. One of his best performances ever. And the writer that came up with those words in just a few days is absolutely incredible. ❤️
Bernie Taupin was the writer.
the great lyricist Bernie Taupin, Elton's songwriting partner since the 60s when Elton started out on his solo career after being in a band.
Not just singing at a funeral- he was singing at the funeral of his best friend
Damn right. I remember this. I was 12.
i always tear up when i hear this song i was 17 years old didnt really know much about princess diana but seeing the amount of people in the streets of london the amounts of flowers given for her. and looking back this period of time after a period with hope of peace with the cold war endning but later in 95 isak rabin murdered derailing the peace process in israel , in 97 princess diana and mother teresa died and lastly 9/11 happened signaling a new era, i miss those years of hope.
i knew he had sung the song at her funeral, but I didn't know he had written new words. They are phenomenal.
Thank you Pat, for your honest reaction. Just know that we all are crying too.
I was in Hyde Park that day, with several hundred thousand others. We watch Elton sing via giant screens and I remember just crying and crying and crying, along with every other person there. It was SO beautiful, and so brave, from Elton, and what he sang that day, via his changed lyrics, was what we as a Nation wished and wanted to say to Lady Di 💔
Ilovethissongforeverandeverimissyou👍🙏😭🇮🇳goodbye🖐️🌹
From the UK, so I watched this on TV at the time. The most extraordinary performance I've ever seen. To this day, I don't know how he held it together. The whole country was in shock and this was an intesley tragic and heartbreaking event. Never fails to produce tears whenever I watch it.
This took a lot of guts and play as well as he did. His composure was unbelievable.
She was my idol
I was 33 yrs old in 1997 and back then when this was play live on TV it felt like the whole world went silent because the whole world was watching it was a very sad day
Still hurts 😢
Yeah I remember they were good friends and seen together in public quite often 😢😢😢😢
I cannot imagine how nervous Elton had to be, before that performance. Not only was all the world watching, but was a funeral for one of the most beloved women of our time. A single mistake just wasn't an option.
Her title was princess but to us she embodies the character & love as Like a QUEEN IN OUR HEARTS ...Never ever forgotten...R.I.P Diana, Frances, Spencer, Princess Of Wales
The royal family didn’t want him to sing this, they said it was too sentimental. Tony Blair had to intervene. Sold 38 million copies worldwide all proceeds went to Diana’s charities. An amazing performance. He said he had to keep himself composed he broke down when he went home. He truly loved her. RIP Diana
So many years have passed on and this song and moment still makes me cry. Goodbye England's Rose! This world can´t hurt you anymore. From Mexico, with love and admiration rest in Peace Sweet Princess!
WITH LOTS OF LOVE TO MY DIAMOND IN THE SKY. JUST A NOTE TO SAY THEY DID PUT SPEAKER'S OUTSIDE.❤❤
Nice choice. I remember watching it live, one I will not forget, the emotional impact is still high.
Me too, was broadcast worldwide, I was watching it sleepless here in the northwest of Mexico during the wee hours of night.
Im a brit. Londoner. I was 11 when Lady Di left us. I remember it clear as yesterday. The sound made from the crowds swamping London’s roads to pay their respects - wailing, sobbing and clapping after this performance was such a piercing sound, ill never forget it.
Another sad loss. Why all the Good ones. George Michael he broke his heart. Both Elton and George were very good friends with her. Everyone loved her. Another 1, gone long before her time❤
I was glued to the TV for the entire funeral. I still can't watch this without being reduced to a puddle. I miss her still.
Appreciated!! I'll never forget. I know right where I was. 😭
I will add he has said he will never sing this song again as of his connection to Princess Diana. She is very missed still to this day.
I think I cried through the whole song! Such a tragedy!
I can't listen to this without crying...😢 not ever!
Dear Patrick, You covered the video & song PERFECTLY!!! I am a new subscriber to your channel! I wanted to be there to hug you. YOU PATRICK ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
This performance still hits so hard. How he held it together I can't fathom. Thank you for reacting to this. ❤
I could actually see you doze off for a few seconds. Dont worry, I was crying too. Seen this 100 Times. This is a masterful man
I watched this on TV. I cried like a baby. Still do every time I hear it. Princess Diana was a very special lady.
The first candle in the wind was about Marilyn Monroe..her real name was Norma Jean. It is also beautiful. Bernie Taupin writes the most amazing lyrics,and Elton brings them to life!
Elton will sing goodbye Norma Jean live, but he has never repeated this live out of respect.
Wow! I remember that day and him singing. I blubbered through it all. RIP Princess Diana. THANK YOU Sir Elton John.
This is the one and only time he sang this version of this song live. Diana was beautiful inside and out and cared for everyone. Harry is a rebel just like his Mother he marches to his own drum. I will love and miss her always. Great reaction Pat. i agree with you 1000%.
That's what i heard as well.
That was a very honest reaction , And you nailed it when you said " It made me sit and watch " .
And Hats off for Sir Elton for keeping it together while singing because that must have been so hard .
Plus 1+ sub from Wales UK .
Oh, thank you for that. Lovely reaction. For a lovely woman.
Diana shocked the world by hugging aids patients, by visiting the homeless on the streets at night and introducing her children to the realities of poverty, And, by walking through a land mind field to bring awareness and help to people wounded by land mines. She was quite extraordinary.
As was this tribute, by Bernie Taupin and Elton John.
Both versions of this song, the original dedicated and about Marylin Monroe, and this amazing performance, for Diana bring us to tears every time.
Charles devil and camila monster
The funeral was watched by millions across the world. I am not sure if Her Majesty the Queen had as many world wide mourners.
Thank you Patrick for bringing back this performance and sharing your reaction. It's a beautiful song for a very sad moment in history. Peace
So sad to a wonderful woman 👠 she is sorely missed
I watched Diana’s funeral and when Elton sang I couldn’t hold back the tears….it seemed to sum up everything we felt when Diana died. Even now hearing this song again after so long takes me back to that day and the feeling of a nation united in grief. RIP Diana, Princess of Wales, gone but never forgotten….
What a great loss, when princess Diana, died so tragically in a car crash in 1997. Such a beautiful person, full of life, one who brought so much joy and happiness to people. What a beautiful song in honor, of a beloved princess Diana. I know this song, was so heart retching for Sir Elton john, to perform in memory of his beloved friend Diana. All profits, were donated to the Elton john foundation. What a beautiful song. Brings tears to my eyes, every time I listen to this song. RIP - princess Diana. You are missed dearly.
We were on holiday in Cyprus and I had serious ear problems ,and had the Dr out when the news came Thru around 03.00 that she had died . That evening we were out eating at a bar, mostly Brits there , Very quiet, and I asked The owner to play the original song . At the end ,I blew out the candle on our table , others followed and we sat in darkness and silence for 5 mins or so .
I love this…thanks Sir EltonJohn💖…. Can’t hold my tears while listening… love the lyrics… goodbye England’s rose….
Reason for the 2 titles is this was his song originally sang for Norma Jean aka Marilyn Monroe. He replaced "goodbye Norma Jean" to "goodbye England's rose". I remember this event, i was 13 an my mom taped Diana's funeral. Wouldn't be surprised if she still has it, despite not having a vhs player anymore. Haha.
This still brings tears to my eyes. She may be gone but she will never be forgotten.
He was very close to Princess Diana so can you imagine singing that without breaking down? ♥️💔💔♥️ Thx for your beautiful reaction.
That what made it sad for me not just the song but him trying to hold his tears in.I started to cry a beaurfull song for princess diana gone to soon.
Various other famous friends of his died young- Marc Bolan (car accident), John Lennon (assassination), Gianni Versace (assassination), Freddie Mercury (AIDS)...
Thank you. For what you did. For how you handled yourself. With such dignity and composure and compassion. This is literally the ONLY reaction to this song on the internet like this. You're it bro. Youd think that thousands would have done it. But no. It's literally just you. And thank you. I'm American, but I remember that week in 1997. I was 12. I remember. Had a fucked up childhood, but I do remember Mom being freaked out that week. Anyway, thank you. For being respectful. Love you man. I'm gonna subscribe.
She was my idol she changed the monarchy and her husband did her wrong
God bless you Diana 😔🏴
Had to be hard for him they were such good friends
Patrick, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. You've got a beautiful soul, young man. It matches your overall handsomeness. You make me thankful and hopeful for all our sons.
Look into the original song by Elton John, written in tribute to Marilyn Monroe. It's just as moving. It's titled, "Good-bye Norma Jean.
It's called "Candle in the Wind".
I cried all the way through, I'm still heartsick over her senseless death, gay men loved her, she went to a hospital in the 1980s to an aids ward, she hugged them and held their hands when then you were not supposed to touch them cause we were not sure just how you contracted the HIV virus and full blown AIDS, God bless her soul finally at peace
I always loved that Elton John and Princess Diana were close friends.💕💕💕
New sub from South Africa 🇿🇦
I know how great he is and still is . Thank you for knowing this too.The princess of the people and Elton were friends.Thank you for your responses to female music it's spot on.❣️
This is the first reaction I've seen by you, as I was just watching Elton John songs. You were honest from the beginning and showed so much respect. I cry every single time I see this. My heart goes out to all the lives she touched, no matter what country their from.💕😇👑
I was six years old when Diana died and I heard about her life and legacy about four or five after her death and the impact of the song makes me admire her more and more. Even 25 years after she died, she deserves all of that universal acclaim from various people worldwide.
I was a kid back then halfway across the globe, never met Princess Diana everytime I hear this song, I still feel that heaviness I felt when I was a kid. She never even visited our country but I can remember how we're still affected by her death.
Miss you princess...if you saw your sons tearing themselves apart today you must be so angry and sad
BEAUTIFUL❣️🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you. At one point you looked like you were going to speak and I was thinking, no, don’t, just let it run, and you did. This needs no more words.
Beautiful!!!!!
Elton's so emotional singing this , she was a close friend , x
Princess Diana was never treated the way she should’ve been by the royal family, in my opinion. The springs back so many memories. I believe her purpose in life was to bring those two young boys into this world. I continue to pray that those young men will live the kind of life that their mother would’ve wanted for them.
This was So cruel On the 2 Young Child princes..Who had to go through all this to buried there Mum...
I remember seeing this live as a teen, early in the a.m. I fell asleep with the news on and woke up just as the service began.
I agree... he is one of the greatest! 💕. The worst situation, and Elton gave grace, love and perfect sound. (Vocally and with the piano) Bless you for this reaction! 💗
😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈 so beautifully done. What else is there to say?
Did you know Elton John went to the music conservatory to learn concert piano
thanks for not pausing
My favourite Elton songs: Curtains, Candle in the Wind (1973), Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Rocket Man, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Tiny Dancer, High Flying Bird, Your Song, Original Sin, Daniel, Indian Sunset, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road..
It was reported that anyone attending Princess Di’s funeral was given instruction not to show emotion. This included her sons as they walked behind the procession of their mother’s coffin. So sad!
wHY???
This song / version by elton john is amazing. I remember watching TV live back then. There were probably a few tears even though I was a young adult man at the time.😀 Check out the rocket man by elton john. Greetings from Norway.
This brought me back. To the death of jfk jr. Versace and princess Diana,. . All in the same year i think. Very close time frame. I remember this, . I have heard he has never done this version again.
It was nice of Elton to honor Princess Diana by re-writing this song he originally wrote for
Norma Jean (Marylin Monroe)'s death. "Candle In The Wind" (Goodbye Norma Jean)
was Elton's tribute to Marylin Monroe, he simply changed it to "Goodbye England's Rose"
as well much of das lyrics that were speaking about Marylin Monroe's life und sad death.
It ist difficult for me to judge Elton for doing this because Princess Diana's death ist
quite sacred to me, und I will never forgive them for what they have done, but I will
always cherish more das original "Candle in the Wind" song written for Norma Jean.
Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden
Bernie Taupin changed the lyrics
@@mizofan Taupin and Elton. Best singer/songwriter dou, ever.
My mums funeral song.. No better person for it to be for...
She died 25 years ago today 08/31/1997 today is 08/31/2022
George was a close friend of Princess Diana.
First, Thank you very much for not commenting during Elton's performance.
I am British and ex-forces.
For many of us, she would be OUR ONLY QUEEN.
To be honest, I am not looking forward to Charles coronation, there will be an empty space in the monarchy.
If there was ever proof needed of his artistry.....
I am old. I was there when she married charles and when she died. Her death devastated the ENTIRE world at the time. We love her SO much. FOREVER THE UNCROWNED QUEEN. RIP, our beautiful, irreplacable PRINCESS DIANA.
Oh stop with the old. We are all OLDER. You aren't the only one grown up by the 1980s; or 1997. We are just OLDER.
🥀😢😭😭
First line in.....😭😭
You've got the wrong name in the credits for the artist, Sir Elton John wrote the original way back,and Sir Elton John doesn't write the lyrics he writes the music Bernie Taupin has written the lyrics for at least 50 years, and they don't write anything together in the same room or even in the same country, this audience was around a couple of billion worldwide and a couple of million just in London
Yeah bit Elton is the one who is performing the song. He's singing, playing, and created the music. He's the public face.
He and Diana were friends. I don’t how he did it.
When Lady Diana of Wales died, I was not yet born! But watching the video where Sir Elton John sang this beautiful song in honor of His great friend, I can only feel pride and emotion! It is a pity that after 24 years the death of Lady Diana, we know that there was a reluctance on the part of the British Royal Family for Sir Elton John to pay homage with this song!
I am glad they did.
And being they knighted him right afterward, I can only assume they did not regret the decision.
I hated this version and still do.
I'm sorry, but I'm a little bias against this version of the song. I always thought it was wrong how Elton took such a famous song that was written for Marilyn Monroe and used it for Princess Diana. I think Elton should have written a new song for Princess Diana. Here a link to the original song if anyone would like to hear it. th-cam.com/video/MYU3F8uUGiw/w-d-xo.html
What else could he do? There was public clamour for a new version of the much loved Candle in the Wind, not a new song entirely- you think he could have easily come up with one as good as that masterpiece? It was always logical that Bernie Taupin would simply change the words, a much simper task, and it was made clear the lyrics would be changed..
How long does it take to write a great song? Music+text? How much time did he have until her funeral? Elton and Princess Diana were very close friends(maybe even best friends), so he mourned her death and probably was not in best emotional condition to write music in such a short time. Great that Taupin could change the lyric but he was not a close friend to Diana.
I was 10 years old when my mom woke me up crying her eyes out about four in the morning . It still brings tears to my eyes long live our queen of hearts ,charles is not my king
