Is your album available on iTunes? I'm dying to hear your music. Well, don't die just yet. You like him, I don't. I'll leave it there. I just cannot get into Elton John. Have you seen Bohemian Rhapsody, the movie? I recommend it. I knew very little of Queen's music but it's a real foot-stomper during the musical scenes. "iTunes" sarcasm aside, it's healthy to vent spleen now and again on here. Yeah, Bohemian Rhapsody is great, this movie could learn a lot from it, but it seems they didn't.

There's loads of documentary/speculation stuff on YouTube about the darker events surrounding Queen and Freddie Mercury which wasn't, thankfully, exposed too much in the BR film. It was an entertainment piece which I came out of the cinema feeling pretty good about, despite knowing about all the less enjoyable stuff available to view online etc.. Well, if you do see Rocketman, post a review, maybe. (but not biased LOL!)

Check out Kenny Metcalfe perfectly performing Tiny Dancer, even the impossibly high chorus vocals! Astonishing.  |

...but he's doing his own singing in the movie anyway. What the actual fuck? This is going to be a disaster. Its called interlacing. They inter lace the actors voice and the original singers voice, and they auto tune too. They did it with Rami Malek and he won the Oscar! lol It burst my bubble too when I found out. Oh well...

Bohemian Rapshody IMDB Trivia... "Canadian singer Marc Martel lends his voice to the biopic as Freddie. They use a mix of his voice and Freddie Mercury's together, on top of Rami Malek's. In an interview, Malek said his singing was seamlessly mixed with both Freddie's and Martel's." www.imdb.com/title/tt1727824/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv^I seriously doubt any of Malik's voice was actually left in, though.

Wrong, he's a musical genius that can make a song out of an oven manual. Again, he's useless without someone else's words to work with, even if it means making a meal of utilizing a household instruction booklet as a crutch. That was embarrassing, a haphazard example of his ineptitude to compose a song off his own back, with his own lyrics. Richard E Grant perhaps should have said "Sing us a song now using your own words." Instead of that we get a sycophantic audience delighting in a pantomime where Dwight, resorting to third-rate vaudeville-esque pomp and an all too familiar and generic melody, stumbles through an attempt to perform a "song". Fun fact... Robert E Grant WAS on Game of Thrones 😁

Excellent performances by the entire cast and Taron did just fine with his rendition of Elton's songs. He is of course not going to sound exactly the same, but he was so believable nonetheless.

Taron did a great job overall, while not sounding like Elton at all. Enjoyed the movie a lot, though I've never been a huge Elton fan. I've never cared too much for his melodies, though within the framework of the film, the songs felt iconic.
