Anyone heard it? I LOVE it! Such a great video too! Can’t stop watching it!

There's a certain part of it that gets stuck in my head on repeat. It would be OK apart from that one line that I just can't shake.

WeirdCouncil · 01/09/2021 14:57

It sounds like no one is really trying and especially not Elton John. Sure it'll make them a lot of money though.

Interested in this thread?

@NiceGerbil re the backing that's it exactly! It sounds like Alan Partridge getting his keyboard ready.

WeirdCouncil · 01/09/2021 15:03

Just to remind everyone what Elton John is really capable of ie not very fucking much anyway:

Reminds me of the awful mixes capital radio put together in the 90’s

I think it’s awful

AuntieMarys · 01/09/2021 15:12

Dreadful

FlorallyBankrupt · 01/09/2021 15:13

That's three songs I think. Sacrifice, Kiss the Bride, and Rocket Man.

Bizarre but not too bad on the ears. Video is proper creepy.

Ofnorman · 01/09/2021 15:15

It's pure shite Grin

They haven't done enough with it for it to be good. It does just sound like the originals with a Bontempi backing track. I was almost expecting a Stevie Wonder/ I Just Called 'cha cha cha!' ending.

Mariell · 01/09/2021 15:19

Now that I’ve listened to it and mopped up the bleeding from my ears I can confirm my suspicions that it’s awful.

She’s ‘in’ at the moment so it’s a pairing to capitalise on her popularity without much care or thought going on producing anything half decent.

Just said to my daughter "that's dead fucking lazy that, innit ?"

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 01/09/2021 15:55

It's ok but I'm not hugely keen.

Tal45 · 01/09/2021 15:57

Just Awful. Why doesn't he write something new instead of keep rehashing? I don't think he's even bothered to sing Sacrifice again it sounds exactly like the original just with a different backing track.

OhWhyNot · 01/09/2021 16:20

Anyone remember Stars on 45

It’s similar

Really boring and half arsed

Ifyouarehappyandyouknowit21 · 01/09/2021 17:01

Its not a not new song! Just a remix with her on it.

Stars on 45, yes, that’s what I was thinking of.

It’s ok, but I like Elton, in fact I’m off to see him in December, and Sacrifice is my all time favourite.

I think it’s awful

It's like a very dreary attempt at some sort of Jive Bunny effort.
ClemDanFango · 01/09/2021 17:19

I LOVE Dua Lipa but I hate this song.

0blio · 01/09/2021 17:21

Are those the hybrids from Sweet Tooth dancing in the video?

PuppyMonkey · 01/09/2021 17:22

At least it's not Elton trying to sing a new song, lordy his voice is awful now.

Thelikelylass · 01/09/2021 17:29

just stunning - Elton at his best

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 01/09/2021 17:31

A new low. Even worse than when EJ did a record with Blue.
