Elton please stay away from crap.

[celldog]

This is the stupidest idea ever!!! :( :down

[Joker]

You know, I think if he does it, the universe might implode on himself. You have a s**ty singer, making an album of a genre that's 90% s**t...that's too much s**t for the galaxy to handle.

[Alpha and Omega]

:confused:

"It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don't know until you try."

I thought he'd hit a new low when he did American Idol; is he trying to outdo himself again?:o

[Tsunulia]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Run away!!!!!!!!!! :(

[The Chairman]

Elton please stay away from crap.

Agreed. I love Elton, but he should not ever rap. Ever.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

The only song I've ever liked from his is "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?":o

[The Chairman]

The only song I've ever liked from his is "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?":o

Then you have terrible taste. Elton has literally tons of better songs than that.

[Tsunulia]

I can see it all now. *flash forward to a Elton rap-revamp of Benny and the Jets*


:(

I've never bothered to listen to anything else from him.:o

[The Chairman]

I've never bothered to listen to anything else from him.:o

You're missing out. :p

[Joker]

You're missing out. :p

Yeah, you're missing out on some p**sy ass soft rock crap.

[The Chairman]

Yeah, you're missing out on some p**sy ass soft rock crap.

To each his own. But his early stuff really isn't soft rock. It's some of the best music ever made.

[Cyclops]

Ahh... The Joker must be one of those self-righteous "heavy metal" fans who looks down his nose at anything that's not "heavy metal".

[Alpha and Omega]

If Elton was making an R&B album, that wouldn't be such a stretch, but hip-hop is mostly **** nowadays.

Little known fact: Elton John started out as the Isley Brother's keyboard player before he became a global superstar in his own right.

"It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don't know until you try."

Also, I vaguely remember Lucas saying something to this effect in '95.:o

[The Female Torch]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's really scary

[HellOnEarth]

You know, I think if he does it, the universe might implode on himself. You have a s**ty singer, making an album of a genre that's 90% s**t...that's too much s**t for the galaxy to handle.

LMfao!

Crocodile Rap?

What happened here,
As the New York sunset disappeared?
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there.
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
And now it all looks strange.
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain.

And what's it for,
This little empty garden by the brownstone door?
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more.
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
And we are so amazed! We're crippled and we're dazed....
A gardener like that one, no one can replace.

And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking, most all the day.
Oh and I've been calling,oh hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play?

And through their tears,
Some say he farmed his best in younger years.
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger, if only he could hear.
Who lived there?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls.....
We hear, we hear your name.....

And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking, most all the day.
Oh and I've been calling,oh hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play,
In your empty garden?
Johnny?
Can't you come out to play, in your empty garden?

[Manic]

Hold me closer, tiny dancer.
Count the headlights on the highway
BIYOTCH!

U forgot ROCKETMAN:o

[8Ball2/JanG5]

I think this is a great idea, and it follows the trends of a lot of younger pop stars, especially the european ones.

I can't wait to see Elton John do it since he's older.

[The Chairman]

U forgot ROCKETMAN:o

As well as "Tiny Dancer", "Honky Cat", "Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding", "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)", "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting", and "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters", the latter which has become somewhat of a personal song for most New Yorkers post - 9 / 11.

Of course, it would take way too long to name all of Elton's best songs.

One of the most moving songs in the history of recorded music. :up: :up:

[St. of Sinners]

Well, he would probably be the first openly gay rap artist so that would set an interesting precident. I think he should go for it.

[Electrix]

Elton just wants to die knowing he had a bit of black inside him at some point.

:D

[Mr Sparkle]

Well, he would probably be the first openly gay rap artist so that would set an interesting precident. I think he should go for it.

well, I've always thought sisco was pretty gay

[St. of Sinners]

well, I've always thought sisco was pretty gay Yeah, same here, but he's never come forth about it. That pussy. I think that Elton John, if he got together with a decent producer and made some serious music, might actualy be able to dispell some negative stereotypes regarding gay people.

[St. of Sinners]

Elton just wants to die knowing he had a bit of black inside him at some point.

:D Wow, this post manages to be negatively stereotypical towards 2 different types of minorities in a single sentence. High five!!!

[Electrix]

The :D indicated that it was a joke and was meant to be slightly humorous. If its offeneded anyone then sorry.

[Sensi]

I think this would be awful and it possibly could be the beginning of his downward spiral

I love his music as is ..Why change a good thing?

[St. of Sinners]

The :D indicated that it was a joke and was meant to be slightly humorous. If its offeneded anyone then sorry. Fair enough. I take no offense as the comment doesn't apply to me, though I think you could see how people could easily be offended by it.

[Manic]

I'm black, and I didn't find that comment offensive at all. It was funny. Of course, I was thinking of throwing an overt gay sex joke into it, but the moment for that has passed.
