How to be Elton John Step 1: sing a Elton John song in a animated movie Step 2: apear in a movie featuring Elton John Step 3: apear in a Elton John concert Step 4 be Elton john in a movie about Elton John Step 5: congrats now You are Elton john
Taron also sang “Your Song” to get into music school apparently. Also, the reason he was cast into this role was because he was recognised by Elton John during the filming of Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Rockerman was a great movie. Many didn’t get it. I loved it. Particularly if you understand what EJ went through with his addictions. Im an alcoholic 14 yrs sober. Here is one of the most talented people ever, who almost lost everything to his addictions but overcame and put his life back together.
Wonder if he and his mother are still on the outs. I wonder if she really did try to blame him for ruining her crappy marriage to his father. That scene where his father says, "Don't you ever touch my records again" was like a sudden arctic blast with that contempt and hostility in his voice. I remember being spoken to that way on a regular basis by the so-called adults in my life when I was little; it's like being slapped, especially when you're trying to reach out to them.
They didn't use this at the end of the movie--it's an alternate version. It confused me because I couldn't tell if the video was all a recreation or original. I think they should have used this version instead.
@@growlusnotneeded3251 In the second part, the first half was Taron. I didn't know Sir Elton John himself CHOSE Taron for the part, that must've been such a huge moment for him
I love this mix of the movie and Elton himself. As someone who grew up in the 70s and loved Elton, this movie was such a joy. And Taron did a great job.
I admire Elton John. Unfortunately I never saw him live in concert. But he inspired me and touched my heart and soul. Wish him joy and hapiness with his family. ❤
I've watched Rocketman, it's a fantastic Bio Pic. And boy, what a bad guy his father was. I just couldn't grasp, how in the world a man can treat his own son like that?
Grandissima l'interpretazione di Elton!!! Top,top... Ecco come finisce BENE questo bellissimo film su Elton John😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤dove ad un tratto arriva Lui ....il vero e unico Elton, con un video bellissimo...❤❤❤bravissimi tutti 😂❤😂❤❤😂❤
One day I will be able to thing this great song and mean every word. Until then, I will continue to listen to this amazing music and admire the artist.
OMG! I just watched the movie 🚀 Rocketman and it was excellent! I've been listening to Elton John since my teens. When I found this vid, I didn't know it was Taron in the beginning! 😳 He did a marvelous job! 👏 Happy the movie ended with this song. I've been singing it thru all of my good and particularly bad times. Glad Sir Elton found his much deserved true happiness! 🌈🤩👑🎹✌️
Truly scene that i should depict on my body as a sincere expression of my relatability with this melody and lyrics,this should be deeply engraved on my own skin,every pinch of pain will be remainder how absolutely masterpiece this song is
Fuckin' hell, this song has always been a banger BUT this version is EVEN BETTER, and goddamn, if anyone asked which was my favourite song ever, I couldn't pick from the few hundred which I LOVE TO DEATH, but man... This would be up there.
I actually liked how Elton John danced and moved in the original music video better than Taron Edgerton did. Elton was more natural in his motions, while Taron seemed to be mugging for the camera at times.

I was in my bedroom with friend listening to the album, Yellowbrick Road in the early 1920s. The phone rang. My Mom answered it. Came to the bottom of the stairway after about ten minutes. Said the call was for me. As I spoke with my best friend at that time, she told me her brother committed suicide by shooting himself in his mouth in his bedroom. Funeral For a Friend was playing during that time. He had cancer and couldn't deal with it. I've known him since Kindergarten since 1964. I will see him again when I go to Heaven. 💔🙏😇😢
Although I'm not gay, this has been one of my favorite Elton John songs for a very long time. Rocketman was an excellent movie. Didn't know Sir Elton had such a severe drug and alcohol addiction.

I still don't know why Taron Edgerton didn't get an oscar nod for this.
I totally agree 👍
He did. He just didnt win tho
He wasn't gay

Yes indeed!
BRAVO!!!!
This movie was what made me officially become an Elton John fan.
Same actually
Me too!
Welcome to the party!
thats depressing, you must have never heard elton john before
@@ensabrenur no I heard of him, I just never knew how much music he actually made.

14 years? That's incredible 👏
You're amazing for that my friend, and EJ was to. He had almost everything but happiness and selfcontrol, but he overcome it all. Amazing
I read that wrong at first. Read, "I'm an alcoholic 14 yr old. Sober." at first and then had to reread. Congrats though,
Excellent I like how they incorporate the original version of this song classic 80’s music.!!!

@@rainamoonastrology14 They used a lot of the original video in the movie, but they remastered it so as to look better and fit the modern recordings.
Boss
Yes when I heard it was coming out I was oh no. Then I heard it and was pleasantly surprised
He did one hell of job playing Elton John
jappp
yup, brilliant preformance
Hand picked to play the part by Elton John himself after working with him in Kingsman 2. Did a great job
No...that was actually Sir Elton.
I woulda figure it’s because Taron is the voice of Johnny in Sing, who also sings I’m still standing
@@growlusnotneeded3251 In the second part, the first half was Taron.

Elton John is an amazing performer.
This isn't Elton John
@@JamievanZutphen the actual music video is Elton
Edgerton doesn't play Elton John, HE IS Elton John in this movie (voice, attitude...)

he's a true talent

I always kinda cry at this scene
Omg me too
same haha
It’s the way the song is sung
I LOVE THIS SONG

I love these song and many others of Elton John and I trully love him...

Bro u know Elton John is still alive today right?
The timing is brilliant
I admire Elton John. Unfortunately I never saw him live in concert. But he inspired me and touched my heart and soul. Wish him joy and hapiness with his family. ❤
Saw this on TV. The next day I went and bought the DVD. Fabulous.
The build up to this was LEGENDARY man
I've been coming back to this version every couple of weeks... I love the slow buildup.. There's such a beautiful feel to it..
Everything Elton touches turns to gold! Genius ❤️
I've been sober for 10 years now which I'm proud

@@heidirourke2259 did i ask.
Congrats!
@@zrxvy ....yes? you quite literally did? lmao
This adds so much to the story arc of the song seeing this slowed intro showing the begining to the eventual glow up
Elton John is one of the greatest singer of all times and there aren't that many of them.
I've watched Rocketman, it's a fantastic Bio Pic. And boy, what a bad guy his father was.
I just couldn't grasp, how in the world a man can treat his own son like that?
Tarons performance when he was back in the car watching his father carry his half brother was moving.
realizing Taron was playing Elton John, I now have a theory that Elton John was once an agent of the Kingsmen
Which explains why he was in Kingsmen: The Golden Circle
Grandissima l'interpretazione di Elton!!! Top,top... Ecco come finisce BENE questo bellissimo film su Elton John😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤dove ad un tratto arriva Lui ....il vero e unico Elton, con un video bellissimo...❤❤❤bravissimi tutti 😂❤😂❤❤😂❤
Taron not having an Oscar for this role is a crime. A crime.
That video of Taron Egerton dancing to the Bee Gees was hilarious
Loved the movie and Elton's music
Love you Elton. Never saw you live on stage, but you are incredibly strong to me
Exelente lo moderno y lo clásico siempre Elton gracias por descubrir esta bella canción.
AMAZING ELTON JOHN , saludos desde Perú, que sigan los éxitos 🎉🎉🎉i
Mi hija de 15 años.. Se obsesióno con elthon por esta escena.. Otra generación con buenos gustos musicales..... Gracias.... ❤❤❤
I can’t stop listening to this it’s too good
I LOVE ELTON AND NOW I LOVE TARON
A special thank you to Sir Elton John. Please keep giving you are a game changer.
This is so neat :) Love it.
I love the freeze frame shots of people leaping in mid air.
My gosh.. there is *so much feeling* in the first part here, far more so than when Elton takes over.
From a fighter to a singer !
Now that’s a actor/performer !
ÓTIMA INTERPRETAÇÃO DESSE
ATOR
ÓTIMA !
I love this version... and I love, love, loooooooooooooove this song!!!
Just awesome!
The original video is shot so well. A fantastic visualization of the music.
Brings /a=s to my eyes knowing that we will never see elton john sing and that song was like it just came out this year
One day I will be able to thing this great song and mean every word. Until then, I will continue to listen to this amazing music and admire the artist.
This is my favourite version of this song.

The fact that Taron wasn't even nomintated for an Oscar, let alone win it-is a travesty.
such talent and paulbonerism
Taron Edgerton is incredible...
Great song
Better than original
He did a fantastic job at playing Elton John

Awesome version, never seen the movie 👍
I really like Taron's version too. Wow such talent.
He made Elton proud 🥰😍
Great movie

Though I like the original version that was in the film, this is EPIC

Rocketman was an excellent movie. Didn't know Sir Elton had such a severe drug and alcohol addiction.
