Elton John

[joeluke]

........criticises some of todays chart acts

He may have a point but when exactly did he himself last have a hit single/album

I can't remember, can you?

[ummmm]

The last one I remember was the song from Lion King...

[society]

Morning Joe. I think he's right.

[joeluke]

Hi society, wouldn't a better response be to release new material of his own instead of slagging others off?

[society]

How could he release something probably which he hasn't got? It's human nature, we all voice our opinions or criticise especially if something is n ot to our liking.

[joeluke]

True, he's far too busy buying babies to make any new music

[ummmm]

I think he has every right to *** them off. Like him or loath him...he a song writer and a musician...which puts him into a different league to the likes of Cheryl Cole.

[ChuckFickens]

He has always been known for being outspoken about a lot of things and from a performers point of view anything that gets him in the news is a good thing.

I think he has earned the right to criticise other performers music, like him or loathe him he had proved over the years that he has genuine musical talent which is something a lot of modern "artists" are somewhat lacking in.

[society]

I'm not into celebration and following their life stories, but, I thought the baby was his. Didn't know he bought him.

[society]

I meant to say celebrates up their ^^^ instead of celebration. lol

[ChuckFickens]

Or even celebrities?

[joeluke]

WAS a song writer and a musician!

[ummmm]

Do you think he's lost the talent?

[joeluke]

Society......do you not think the woman who carried the child for nine months and bore it was not handsomely paid for it?

[society]

Jeez, don;'t know what's wrong with me this morning. :-)

[ChuckFickens]

He's doing a world tour this year so I'd say he still is a song writer and a musician.

"He may have a point but when exactly did he himself last have a hit single/album"

quite recently. it peaked at 9th globally and was nominated for a grammy.

Why do you have to be in the top ten before being allowed to speak? You *** people off all the time, and with far fewer credentials than Elton. Since he's retired, he doesn't have to make new music.

[jno]

sorry, the asterisks rhymed with flag

[weecalf]

Does he write the songs I thought a man called Benny Tupin or summit like that wrote then

[ummmm]

And just because he's not releasing new material himself doesn't mean he's not writing hit songs for other people.
