Absolutely spine tingling. EXCELLENT!
Its so strange to actually understand all the words man
As a guy who struggles with raspy... I think this is the hardest Elton John song to sing... She sounds awesome.
This woman can sing! Love those high raspy notes! 👏

She can sing anything honestly! She can sing operatic, blues, rock... she likes rock best though ;)
You absolutely nailed this song!
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
My favourite theme from my favourite Elton's album (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, 1973).
And on the guitar!!!! Mr Ted Gärdestad!!!!
Such a great voice!
So freaking good!!!
Lena's voice gives this song such a great "kick." Would love to see a cover of "I'm Still Standing."
I want to give this song sooooooooooooo many thumbs up. I'm a fan now
Sorry for saying this but I did never listen to the whole original version of this song but this lady made me repeat the cover three times. Incredible interpretation
Terrific cover. Maybe my favorite. Great voice.
lena hall has done so much covers of all my fav songs :D
howww.... muito bom, estão de parabéns pelo excelente trabalho realizado.
A great performance!! Y love it, you have a great voice!!
FANTASTIC!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! MARVELOUS!!!!!!!
Well done, awesome job. Great attitude and feel
This made my day Cheers sister
Finally a freakin female version!!!!
Omg! I love everything about this! The arrangement, the vocals, the look!! You are amazing!!! Thank you for making this! 😀 happy
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.

Same, well not to much for me. It's supposedly "Saturday" butas but as I pronounced it, it became "SARURDAY"
Hermoso uwu
Raw pure excellent voice on that girl,one of the best covers,cool base and acoustic well done 👍
WOAH! That was powerful! Awesome cover 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I _really_ enjoyed [guitarist] Justin Craig's arrangment and performance. Strikingly agressive, reminscient of John's piano expression, but CLEARLY distinctive. "Got Tabs?" (h/t Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board)
This sounds sweet at .75 Fucking love this god damn song

Which model of Yamaha guitar it is? I like very much its sound...
Essa gata é areia demais pro caminhãozinho do sr. Wilford...kkkkkkk
"The Bitch is Back" is an _EXCEPTIONALLY_ wryly ironic choice opening your "Elton EP."
🚀 Rocketman?!” 💃 )Tiny Dancer ( 🕺 would be awesome hmm 👍
Wow
thats it
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?)
a hand to the hip, attitude !!! and show you are pissed.
This song always makes me think of GTA V
🔥🔥🔥
what is in the right pocket.
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...
Whell, Thenn, Boys and Girls, ^^^ _THAT_ ^^^ surely _doesn't_ suck. (Or bite?) (Or Blow?) (Or Hurl?) [Sometimes, English is _soo_ confusing.]
Ketty Perry 😶😶😶
뭐가 부족하길레 조회수가 이렇게 없냐
I'm bettin' Bonnie Raitt was one of her influences.
I prefer Sunday
I wonder can Ed Sheeran keep up with this rhythm?

LMAO she's a professional actress and singer who has been on Broadway and won a Tony. Maybe you should find a job so you can afford to learn a few things
Idk this just lacks energy to me its missing something
i dont feel freedom. hard to listen. it's rock'n'roll you don't have to be so concentrated
Elton is better

Thats a cover. You know whats a cover right?
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.
