He sounded brilliant!

Hi Lukuzz - thanks for popping in. He was a bit good wasn't he. I thought they sounded good together - :wub:

Thanks from me too Lukezz. Over the years Will and his fans have had to put up with so many c**p remarks, it's lovely to hear the good remarks.

Elton's New Year extravaganza January 01

 

HOWDY XS-ers everywhere and Happy New Year!

I’m, somewhat tragically, in the newsroom preparing this week’s column with just a little sore head, but feeling very envious of everyone else who got to sleep in today.

 

I’ve got a round up of where some of London’s biggest wreck headed out to see in 2009 but first I have to tell you about the extraordinary ELTON JOHN New Year extravaganza.

 

I was there as the piano man counted down in front of 17,000 people at the 02 in East London before launching into Auld Lang Syne.

 

The spectacular performance, which was based on his Las Vegas shows, was broadcast to HALF A BILLION people across the globe, including the US.

 

Some people have claimed today that X Factor winner, who sung Hallelujah earlier in the evening, stole the show from the piano man but I couldn’t disagree more.

 

Elton is a true showbiz legend and performer, and Your Song to close the night blew everyone away. Although my favourite moment had to be his duet with Will Young on Daniel just before midnight.

 

Although I couldn’t help get the feeling that for him it was just another night doing what he loves best, especially when he said: "'I do not drink anymore. I've been sober for eighteen-and-a-half years so New Year is always a predicament for me because we usually don't do anything.

 

"I've never really liked New Year's Eve, never enjoyed it that much. I'm a musician and would rather be playing."

 

Well, thank goodness you did!

 

HERE IS THE LINK FOR THIS NEWS TOO, IT IT IS IN THE SAME PAPER.

He'll get no arguements on here on the favourite moment. :wub:

 

Thanks BYM+M's.

 

Such a shame the comments appear tobe only online. :(

This old thread on O/S has been bumped up from 10th October 2005:

 

Sunday Star:

 

'Sir Elton John has dubbed former PI star Will Young one of the hottest talents on the planet. The gushing Rocket Man is desperate to team up with him and has told pals: "Will's voice is unique".

 

It just took them a little while to make it happen :lol:

 

Thanks for the NOTW review BYM&Ms - all good stuff.
