The band also needs to take credit. When I went to Elton John's shows I always paid attention to the band's shenanigans.

@@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.

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 💫

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?

What a joy to perform for your idols and what a joy for the idols to be appreciated by young new upcoming artists!

Actually, I didn't expect Puth to do such justice to this legendary song. Bravo!

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.

What an absolute thrill(!) to have the icon you’re performing to, give you a standing ovation. Good on you Charlie!

Man, I got goosebumps from this. Charlie is truly one of the most talented artists of our time. Bravo!

[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

What a fantastic performance from Charlie Puth, a wonderful tribute to Elton John and Bernie, his voice is magical 😊

I think its a hearfelt and wonderful performance. Elton and Bernie obviously approve. What more could you ask for.

One of the best EVER!! Great job 🎶🎶🎶💘☮️ the 70’s 🎸💝

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 Puth you are so fabulous! What a superb job! 4 generations of us watched together and we all 4 love you so much!

This guy is incredibly talented!

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!

Mr.Puth You Nailed it!!So Talented!

So excited to see Charlie for this !!!

Loved this performance what a talented young man. 👏

Well that was... ❤ Lovely ❤

Absolute fabulous! Wow

Aww you did amazing handsome I ❤!

Beautiful voice Charlie !!!

Charlie voice is soo sweet ❤

Nailed it ❤❤

👏 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).

Bravo!!👏 ❤

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 🎉❤🎉

This is such a vulnerable performance. You can feel his inner turmoil as he belts this out so magnificently, overcoming any fear. Amazing.

Brilliant!!!! ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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 ❤
