    As a guy who struggles with raspy... I think this is the hardest Elton John song to sing... She sounds awesome.

    My fun is searching all the acoustic covers of old songs I used to like. Occasionally I come across a jewel like this one. I wonder why there aren't a few thousand likes. Keep it up gurrrrrrrrrrrrrl

    This was freaking awesome, but i have to ask: after saying "saturday" so many times did it stop sounding like a word? I tried saying "Saturday" the same number of times and after a while the whole thing started to sound weird to myself.

    • @catherinemarasigan7195
      @catherinemarasigan7195 4 года назад

      Same, well not to much for me. It's supposedly "Saturday" butas but as I pronounced it, it became "SARURDAY"

    I _really_ enjoyed [guitarist] Justin Craig's arrangment and performance. Strikingly agressive, reminscient of John's piano expression, but CLEARLY distinctive.

    Requst: "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You." ===> Blues-ie works for you, [ICYDK... ]
    Robert Plant's "Zep style" bluesy-rocky timbre could fit _VERY_ well.
    (In fact, LOTS of Zep would work for you, between "errands" retrieving Tony and Grammy trophies. And what about Oscars and "Globes"? What's that about?)

    "The Bitch is Back" is an _EXCEPTIONALLY_ wryly ironic choice opening your "Elton EP."

  • @bobbimke82

    Justin: [do you mind if I call you "justin?"] ==> Considered "Take 2" on a 12-string acoustic with each course's "second string" tuned a few cents off the octave [or unison] to get a "ragged jangle" to match Lena's ragged screams?
    Just a noodle to stir, there...

    This song is just not for a female. I have to sing it in a coverband and I know Lena. She’s amazing but this song is just not good on a girl. It’s where it sits in the female voice.
