to think Elton John is going to go nuts when he comes off paternity leave and hears what some woman has done with his song?

[strandednomore]

Who is that woman and what has she done to Your Song?

i like it!

I hate it. It's a crime against music and she should be clapped in irons.

rubbish, it is just a bit of whimsy, and inspiration to all of us weak voiced octavely challenged singers out there

Link?

Thanks hecate - I'm glad I am not alone. My dh and I just looked at each other open jawed when we first heard this new version and said - what is that?.

Good songs should be left alone.

What about that black eyed peas one?

I think they should be knee-capped for that bugger!

i like ewan mcgregor's version

Nowt - he has already heard it and said he liked it, was out weeks ago.
Personally much prefer his version!

I disagree, it has brought a great song to the ears of the younger generation, who would never normally listen to Elton. My DS1 has looked up Elton's other songs because of this.

Paternity leave???

As far as I can make out Elton and MyHusbandDavidFunish have spent every free second since the adoption travelling the country/world doing interviews about how wonderful parenthood is. Err it's been 6 weeks and you've spent a huge amount of your time in interviews gentlemen!!! I can only hope they are doing this to raise ££ for charity & surely not for the personal 'publicity'.

i have to admit the moaning bit near the end is horrific

jackstini - he was probably just in that new baby rosy glow at the time. Once he comes back to earth he'll hear it properly!

Melika - it's good that your ds realises she isn't the original singer. It's sad when youngsters think covers are originals. Mind you it wasn't any better in my day - I thought Dollar were the original singers of I Want To Hold Your Hand

Just listened to it. It could have been worse but agree not a patch on Elton.

Totally agree with Hec on the Black Eyed Peas song though. Heard it for the first time yesterday and was just WTF!

its brilliant!

I think he has heard it and said he likes it? It's been around for ages...

Oh yeah sorry it probably has been around for ages - I only moved back to the UK just before Christmas so might have missed it when it first came out. I just heard it on the radio, which prompted the thread.

What's the Black Eyed Peas one?

it's absolutely hideous. She should be shot for crimes against music

It is very like that other English singer, what is her name - the one who stops singing and talks.

I really love Black Eyed Peas, since 'where is the love?'

mmelindt kate nash?

I like it !

Tis Ellie Goulding murdering "Your Song". Personally can't stand any of those fairy voiced tralala girlies. She is worst offender tho. Grr

No, not Kate Nash. Um. Still trying to think. Someone Allen - what is her name?

Yes there was another singer who was very similar (possibly Kate Nash) - she was also extremely annoying.
