I am huge fan of Sir Elton John - He is a musical genius- I even named my only child after one of his songs 🥹💫 Love Charlie, and his music, but in my opinion he didn’t do a great job with this masterpiece of a song… 🩵 The best cover of this song has always been by George Michael 🙏🏼 followed by David Archuleta’s cover 💫
@@BabyLambCreationsI’m 70ish and have 🩷’d Elton from the very beginning of his career. I’ve been listening to/watching MANY of his performances over the years. (I went to his ‘Farewell’ concerts 2 X’s within a few months apart in ‘22 - IIR the year). HIS 🎹 is, and has always been a ‘Yamaha’ (whenever possible - either black or white colored) - NOT the red one Charlie’s playing here, or the others in this concert tribute.
Charlie Puth is one of the most talented musicians I've seen. There was a late night talk show where he took a coffee cup, recorded sounds made by the coffee cup and turned it into music and wrote a song on the spot. It was amazing.
@@BC08 yeah you clearly don’t know anything about anything when it comes to the audio world. you boomers seem to think autotune is some form of dark magic that instantly turns a shit song performed by talentless people into a number 1 hit. in reality tho, it’s just one effect. effects have been used in music for over half a century. you never hear anyone complain about john lennon’s use of “double tracking” tho. isn’t that odd?
Charlie Puth is an incredible person and an incredible pianist and musician . There aren’t many people in this current music generation that can do what he does . Bravo 🙌!! Beautiful !!! 😅
Oh my gosh, I'm blown away! What a fantastic performance in honor of Elton and Bernie, and the icing on the cake, Elton's forever awesome band backing him up❤❤❤❤
I've been here for the past 5 days and I still can't get enough of Charlie's performance of this wonderful song. See you for who knows how long I'll keep coming back here❤
Elton, Bernie - that song … brings tears every time … I’m so grateful your music has been in my life, for my entire life … 🙏… my first cassette was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, given to me by my Grandmother 😍… Great rendition by Charlie Puth❣️
[Verse 1] I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life [Verse 2] Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meanin' when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light [Chorus] Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me [Verse 3] I can't find, oh, the right romantic line But see me once and see the way I feel Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal [Chorus] Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
I rewatched the entire show last night on RUclips. It was incredible, all performances were awesome. I had my doubts about Metallica , but man, they were great.
Omg he honestly fucking nailed it! Down to every note, key, and every word!! Elton in the audience smiling the entire time as the cover of his song was so perfect and he did not fuck it up! It's hard to cover and modernize songs nowadays and I'm extremely blessed to have been alive through both versions. We love you all!
Such EPIC tracks remind us that music is our family and we could never be apart anymore, let's sing along some more, congrats for the gorgeous event yeah, very emotional indeed, big loving hug all great performers out there in the audience, fans love youuuuu guys 🎉❤🎉
👏 to everyone who was a part of this 🌟 Elton’s Awards tribute concert - not only Charlie! Since the videos 1st appeared on YT, I haven’t stopped watching them ALL - over and over again! Having watched other artists who’ve done ‘covers’ of his songs WITH him in the audience. THIS one got THE MOST positive reaction from Elton I noticed in his facial expressions of joy 🫠 as well as his singing along with everyone’s performance! The ONLY person who sadly 😥 is missing from his original band members is Ray Cooper on drums 🥁(having seen E.J.’s Farewell concerts live 2X’s in the last couple yrs, and at the age Ray is now, still plays w/ SO much energy & enthusiasm I’m in awe!). I’m 70ish and always 🩷’d Elton, and feel he hasn’t ‘lost it’, as SO many have written in 👎 comments on his recent ones. I can’t count the # that said things like: ‘he sounds like a constipated seal’, ‘a fat, old queen’, ‘time to retire’, etc. To me he’s even better NOW than in his past days - vocally as well as the additional 🎹 (vs not playing it as much then). IMHO this was a fabulous show in its entirety - and hopefully 🤞 will be available as such (but w/o the commentaries and interviews).
I am ashamed that until now, I have never heard of Charlie Puth. What have I been missing? He is a great talent. My bad. Been on RUclips catching up on what I have been missing. Love Mr. Puth's rendition of one of my favorite Elton John's songs!
Thanks Charlie for this amazing performance and for been so relatable celebrity out there . Your ' We don't talk anymore ' is my all time favourite sentimental song and I must admit that it the most well written and well excuited songs out there and I always gravitate towards it , for when I am feeling blues . Hopefully I get the chance to meet you someday. Loads of love and power to you ❤
Wow. Why did I not see this before now?!?!? Always love Charlie’s voice. He nailed this one. What an honor for him to sing this in front of Elton. He did it justice. Well done.
Whoa - that's a biggie! Having to perform THIS song while the men who wrote the lyrics & wrote the music & performed the song (with some of the best) are sitting front & centre! Props Charlie, it wasn't up there with George & Elton...but it was solid.
I found this after watching the live versions of this song from Elton and then the duet with George Michael. Charlie’s a talented musician and does a nice job here 👍🏼. I do prefer the more soulful earlier versions. Those make me want to stand up and sing my heart out ❤
I am so very glad that Mr. Puth did NOT perform this adult song with any form of flamboyance: He performed with genuine dignity and with honesty… No autotune, nor malice or anything alike. A true straight performance of and for a song that can be wrung-out and miss-interpreted. Bravo/Brava/Bravi Mr. Puth… …Truly impressive Sir ❤
Wow Charlie always blows me away. He did this beautifully and stayed tastefully close to the original.
Absolutely agree! BRAVO!! What a great performance for the legendary icon himself 👏🏻👏🏻
I am huge fan of Sir Elton John - He is a musical genius- I even named my only child after one of his songs 🥹💫

He was awesome.
@@earthlygoddess17George didn't have to play the piano AND sing.
@@timothywolfenden4478 George also didn’t have a HEAVY dose of Autotune like Puth has here
And.. you have Nigel, Davey, and the rest of the Elton John band, backing you up! What an honor!
The band also needs to take credit. When I went to Elton John's shows I always paid attention to the band's shenanigans.
Not to mention getting to play on Elton’s piano!

Why is it such an honor? We're all human aren't we. Why artificially elevate some above others. Sorry this is just a pet peeve of mine.
@@leif1075 because they were his inspiration, because they created this beautiful legacy. It's okay to be in awe of them
What a joy to perform for your idols and what a joy for the idols to be appreciated by young new upcoming artists!
My God can you imagine how much of an honor yet how totally terrifying it would be to perform one of Elton John’s songs in front of him?
Not just one of his songs...one of his most iconic!
And with his band
Terrifying for you, but not for Charlie.
I lived to see my idols from different generations together
nailed it
just a little bit lol. one of the greatest songs ever composed thank you Bernie for writing it and thank you Elton for putting music behind it.
What an absolute thrill(!) to have the icon you’re performing to, give you a standing ovation. Good on you Charlie!
DaveyJohnstone's guitar still giving me goosebumps.
Actually, I didn't expect Puth to do such justice to this legendary song. Bravo!
😂 glad you said it. I didn't either but outstanding job❤
Charlie Puth is one of the most talented musicians I've seen. There was a late night talk show where he took a coffee cup, recorded sounds made by the coffee cup and turned it into music and wrote a song on the spot. It was amazing.
It’s amazing what autotune can do 😂
Yes, this was HEAVILY auto tuned
@@BC08
yeah you clearly don’t know anything about anything when it comes to the audio world.
you boomers seem to think autotune is some form of dark magic that instantly turns a shit song performed by talentless people into a number 1 hit.
in reality tho, it’s just one effect. effects have been used in music for over half a century.
you never hear anyone complain about john lennon’s use of “double tracking” tho. isn’t that odd?
@@BC08 definitely not heavily auto tuned what are you talking about. heavy autotune is like travis scott level. this is barely any support.
Man, I got goosebumps from this. Charlie is truly one of the most talented artists of our time. Bravo!
And Charlie has perfect pitch too!!!
Charlie Puth is an incredible person and an incredible pianist and musician . There aren’t many people in this current music generation that can do what he does . Bravo 🙌!! Beautiful !!! 😅
Check out Jacob Collier
@FedericoCastro-wm8cl Who, Elton?
@naomiarram5187 are you trying to say that he does what Charlie Puth does?
What an achievement to be asked to play and perform Elton John's songs!!!
Elton and Bernie will ALWAYS be one of the best colabs ever!!!
A standing ovation from the legends themselves? Great tribute Charlie. Absolutely loved it ❤
Oh my gosh, I'm blown away! What a fantastic performance in honor of Elton and Bernie, and the icing on the cake, Elton's forever awesome band backing him up❤❤❤❤
I've been here for the past 5 days and I still can't get enough of Charlie's performance of this wonderful song. See you for who knows how long I'll keep coming back here❤

still here....🎉

MAGNIFICENT performance, Charlie Puth!! Beyond proud!!!💗❤
I love Charlie Puth. Love how he sang this song. Amazing
❤
WOW STANDING OVATION FROM BOTH ELTON, AND BERNIE!!! 🎉 CONGRATULATIONS GREAT JOB! 💯☝️🎶🌞🎹🎤🥰💞🎉
Hands down, the greatest Elton John tribute!
4:34 I love how proud eleton john is
Elton is so happy and at the end when he points at him, he knew Charlie Puth did a great job covering his song
I declare too, why isn't Charlie Puth a bigger artist? Great job. A vulnerable and amazing performance. Loved it.
Elton, Bernie - that song … brings tears every time … I’m so grateful your music has been in my life, for my entire life … 🙏… my first cassette was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, given to me by my Grandmother 😍…
Great rendition by Charlie Puth❣️
Charlie is quiet talented and knocked this out of the park. Well done.
One of the best EVER!! Great job 🎶🎶🎶💘☮️ the 70’s 🎸💝
[Verse 1]
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
[Verse 2]
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meanin' when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
[Chorus]
Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free
But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
[Verse 3]
I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal
[Chorus]
Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free
But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
I think its a hearfelt and wonderful performance. Elton and Bernie obviously approve. What more could you ask for.
I rewatched the entire show last night on RUclips. It was incredible, all performances were awesome. I had my doubts about Metallica , but man, they were great.
❤I Felt your Love and Passion singing that beautiful tribute charlieputh to the Amazing eltonjohn & bernie love to seeing this performance 💿🎹
What a fantastic performance from Charlie Puth, a wonderful tribute to Elton John and Bernie, his voice is magical 😊
Omg he honestly fucking nailed it! Down to every note, key, and every word!! Elton in the audience smiling the entire time as the cover of his song was so perfect and he did not fuck it up!

Auto tune is a heckuva tool
Elton and Bernie - a long and devoted friendship.
My heart’s beating out of my chest…I can’t imagine how it felt to be there😅…FABULOUS performance…love you Elton&Bernie💐
💐 Bravo, bravísimo Elton John y Bernie Taupin, gracias por tanto!!! 💐
Love you Charlie Puth ❤ You really did the song justice❣️ I love Elton John and I could see that he was happy with your performance. Bravo Charlie 😊
This made me so teary because it was done so beautifully by George Michael. Charlie did a fantastic job! Way to go! 💜✨💜✨💜✨💜
Talk about a spot where nerves could be present...very respectful to do it right down the middle.
can you imaging having EJs band playing on your every note, what an honour! Charlie you did great kid! Thank you for giving it the special puth touch
Absolute fabulous! Wow
Mr.Puth You Nailed it!!So Talented!
Loved this performance what a talented young man. 👏
Really like his rendition of this song, showcased his voice beautifully.
Charlie Puth you are so fabulous! What a superb job! 4 generations of us watched together and we all 4 love you so much!
He’s gotta be the cutest thing since sliced bread!
Its been a week since i can't stop to listening this version! Bravo, Charlie!❤
What an absolute unreal performance
Well that was...

Nailed it ❤❤
Fantastic. How difficult it would be to perform a legendary song in front of the legends themselves. Made me emotional.
This was amazing!! Thanks for taking care of this song, it's a treasure. Very very good.
I am ashamed that until now, I have never heard of Charlie Puth. What have I been missing? He is a great talent. My bad. Been on RUclips catching up on what I have been missing. Love Mr. Puth's rendition of one of my favorite Elton John's songs!
One of the few new artists that I have complete respect for. True talent right here, ladies and gentlemen.
Que emoção!!!! Muito lindo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Charlie voice is soo sweet ❤
Beautiful voice Charlie !!!
Thanks Charlie for this amazing performance and for been so relatable celebrity out there .
Your ' We don't talk anymore ' is my all time favourite sentimental song and I must admit that it the most well written and well excuited songs out there and I always gravitate towards it , for when I am feeling blues . Hopefully I get the chance to meet you someday.
Loads of love and power to you ❤
He has one of the most beautiful voices I've heard. I feel like he is this Generations Elton John
@@guitar-gamer yup ! Absolutely 👍
So excited to see Charlie for this !!!
I have been an Elton and Bernie fan from the beginning. I've since then become a Charlie Puth fan - so therein lies an amazing collaboration!
Bravo!!👏 ❤
Che bella esecuzione 👏👏👏👏
Holy crap, that was amazing.
Brilliant!!!! ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Aww you did amazing handsome I ❤!
WOW...JUST WOW, BEAUTIFULLY DONE
Wow. Why did I not see this before now?!?!? Always love Charlie’s voice. He nailed this one. What an honor for him to sing this in front of Elton. He did it justice. Well done.
Charlie, you are the only artist that comes close to my love for George Michael. Never thought I would ever say that.
Very nice😊😊😊😊
This mix sounds delicious
He did an amazing job and stayed true to its original values… However, I do miss the Elton Growl… this is the smoother version for sure…
👊🏼💯💙😎
You know he doesnt need auto tune , HES VERY UNDERRATED 😭

Great performance Charlie!
Wow congrats to Charlie! What a great gig! Way to go!
Glad u liked the song :D
Charlie Puth you should be very proud of yourself.
Charlie looks so nervous. :)
Think he was having issues with his in-ear monitors
@@j.c985 That would absolutely terrify me! 😳😨😰😱
Charlie Puth knocked that out of the ball park big time. I love ❤️ Charlie Puth singing this.😊😅🎉😂❤❤❤❤
Good on you, Charlie. As they would say in England. 🇺🇸
Charles has an amazing voice! This is one of my favorites.
I found this after watching the live versions of this song from Elton and then the duet with George Michael. Charlie’s a talented musician and does a nice job here 👍🏼. I do prefer the more soulful earlier versions. Those make me want to stand up and sing my heart out ❤
Go Charlie….. love you 🥰
ABSOLUTELY Amazing
Charlie sang and played his heart out on one of the most perfect anthems. The first LP I ever owned! 🙂🙂🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
This performance was much better than these comments would suggest. Nice job!! Great song!!
What a performance! Bravo Charlie.
What a thrill to perform that for Elton and Bernie, and Charlie covered it brilliantly.
There you have it! The talented Charlie Puth. Love him. And what a better person to play this song. ❤❤❤❤
❤Beautiful!
Charlie Puth is amazing
😮His voice Sounds like Elton John, So beautiful ❤️❤️
Love Charlie Puth. Enough said.
Charlie Puth, you‘re amazing but whenever I hear this I can’t only think of George❤❤❤
The words...exquisite!
Great tribute to Elton and Bernie pure legends.

The Greatest vocal performance of this song was done By the iconic George Michael- can NEVER be bettered!
Omg - I was just thinking the same. No shade to this young man, but now I gotta watch George Michael’s version.
True
Elton John's sydney 1986 performance is the best one for me or london with the orchestra 2002 or even solo versions from 1979
YESSS!
I totally agree 👍 George was amazing with this song! ❤
This is giving Adam Lambert singing Believe in front of Cher and I am alllll for it❤❤❤❤
