That was good but I really struggle with Elton singing. He sounds like he's got constipation.

Yup - pretty much this. It's annoying as he hams it up to 11

I can't understand why PSB were not there.

Perhaps a poll might uncover the reason?

I thought it was disappointing that PSB didn’t get a name check before or after the performance. I can understand why a piano / vocal version would be just Olly and Elton but when it crashed into the full electro version it seemed a little strange not having Neil and Chris there instead, and a bit more like a stage production. A bit am-dram. Knowing the whole thing was produced by Stuart, Neil and Chris makes a bit more sense. It will be interesting to see if they call it out on social media.

Just got it on iTunes. Love the change from piano ballad to stomper. Also love the "still don't understand" bit. Would be better with the Latin Mea Culpa at the end though. Neil could have done that bit.

It's Elton and Olly. It was never going to be understated.
Great publicity for their song and catalogue and more royalties for the pension pot.

So did Neil and Chris just miss their best chance in decades to top the charts?
I’m kinda bummed about it but at the same time fair play to the boys ... the charts ain’t what they used to be!
