Two weeks ago the event of the year happened in Romania! I had the pleasure and I felt honoured to be there! On the 12th of June, Sir Elton John & His Band stopped by in Bucharest for the most expected concert since he last visited us seven years ago. What a show!! I was impressed by his force, enthusiasm and virtuosity...The brilliant guys from the band were genial: the way they show appreciation for the audience by their pantomime and by their dedication to a marvelous performance of complex musical compositions. Actually, as I gladly expected, most of the less known songs sounded live classical music-like. Elton's improvisations make any performance of his worth taking delight in... To a perceptive good listener it's such a thrill discovering each time something new in his new piano impromptus ...With sparkles of jazz, rock & roll melting with noble symphonic and classical waves, those moments of magic give an unexpected insight of his great talent and his real substance as an artist of such a value... The second part of the show seemed more vivid and accessible to the wide public who jumped right up to dance on Elton John's most known hits... It's a real joy to sing along with him at his cheer the amusing "Crocodile Rock"... However, I was still longing for a masterpiece as "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" so full of meanings, so autobiographical for Elton John. Sadly, he didn't perform it live to us that hot night... It was a great surprise to read on their faces how good they were feeling on the stage! Elton and the band skipped the planned break and played the additional half hour! What a luck! He even signed two autographs and received the flowers thanking many times ... " The Bitch is Back" was the episode with the jolly moments I was waiting for: the piano jumping and sitting on the piano make the show spicy enough to ask for more: what a great entertainer and what an original relationship with his piano Elton has!!! Yes, he admitted being influenced by Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard, but it's obvious Sir Elton brings his special unique touch... All in all, the sound was great, they all looked so nice wearing their fine outfits-- Sir Elton appeared like a gentleman with an elegant suit with the charming embroidery...(not to mention the eye glasses with his initials! Oh, and the earring!)... It's so impressive to see members of his band in the 80s video recordings and after so many years they are still working with Sir Elton : he actually introduced them speaking about it... Valuable artists attract themselwes to one another (as it is with Bernie Taupin and Sir Elton)... Nigel Olsson was absolutely brilliant on drums : like a spell, so good- humored and involved, full of energy... They were so entertaining ,so masterful, sending a feeling of well-being. They seemed natural, not getting above themselves... I shot a big part of the show with some problems due to some annoying people in the crowd and farness from the stage ... I was quite nervous as this may be the chance of a lifetime to see those amazing artists live, so close and yet, so far... The videos are both mine (sorry for the faults), I'm proud of how I've managed anyway, it's a lot of emotion involved... Hotnews owns the rights for the photos, so if you want to see the rest of the gallery follow the link. And now, ladies and gentlemen...enjoy the first part:
I wish this wasn't the end of the show... Let's hope for a soon comeback with a brand new playlist: I've gladly heard about the new album which will appear this autumn with the brand new single "Never too old" ...
I hope you had a marvellous time celebrating Easter! This is the spring holiday that not only makes us meditate about the Resurrection of Christ, but it also revigorates all of us while we come to life along with nature in all its aspects... Talking about creatures in the wild ... ... I've always been amazed about squirrels: their speed, the way they look : their fluffy fire-like tail, the ears' horns ; how they gather food grabbing it in their funny grip...I've just captured a beautiful specimen on film (what a luck!):
The small cute creature didn't seem that untamed anymore...I even got the feeling the squirrel was playing with us .... How telegenic...".the little flame" smiled & posed too well for the camera!
This can be a follow up of my previous post "Whitney Houston Has Returned"...What a better way to celebrate these days than dancing on and enjoying good music. A more energizing song of Whitney's, "Million Dollar Bill", reminds me of her good times once again. The video is quite entertaining, though not stunning...but her diva image is brought back on track: it gives me a good feeling about her come-back. Enjoy it!!!
Christmas is a great opportunity to return to the joys of childhood! Feed your souls with its unique energy and allow your dreams to fly freely! ---------------- Now playing: Elton John - Cold As Christmas via FoxyTunes
Thank God a great singer as Whitney Houston has returned! In her new album she has a slightly changed voice: more mature and rough imprinted by the harsh times in her troubled last 8 years... There are songs in the album that tell the story of her trial in a moving way: the one that gives the title for her album "I Look to You" has also a video, and it brings back the classy style describing her in the past. Simple means elegant, touching, honest, especially this time... It's still the Whitney Houston we looked up to in her successful artistic past, with a taste of bitterness overcome with the help of divine guidance. Indeed she seems confident and radiant, giving us reasons to consider her a winner, in spite of her long career break along with a few bad chosen songs that were not representing her as an artistic personality of high class... The song may not get to be a hit, but the message in the lyrics is very well expressed and it's the confession she needs to make to the viewers in the beginning of her new road...
It's so moving to spell the title above and realize how it's all about the same 5 letters "E" "L" "V" "I" "S"...Today we honor the king of rock& roll for all that he has been as an artistic personality and as a special human being. A special tribute to Elvis can point out the musical style in which he had excelled in, ever since he was a child: that is gospel. I was impressed by a gospel medley added to a collage of great photos of ELVIS PRESLEY that show him how he truly sang: full of energy, soul, dedication, always looking for perfection with the joy in his heart on the privilege to express himself freely.(I'd like to congratulate Jackiej61too for the lovely ELVIS page design and emotional videos!).
Elvis performed this production number in his NBC 1968 Special, which was filmed on June 28, 1968, and aired on December 3, 1968. The songs contained are Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child (lead sung by Darlene Love), Where Could I Go But to the Lord, Up Above My Head, and Saved. The vocal and instrumental tracks were recorded June 20 or 21, 1968. Elvis lip-synched the number, and no audience was present during the filming. This medley is available on Memories The 68 Comeback Special
(Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long, long way from home A long way from home)
(Words & music by J. B. Coats)
Living below in this old sinful world Hardly a comfort can afford Striving alone to face temptation so Now won't you tell me? Where could I go but to the Lord
Where could I go oh where could I go Seeking a refuge for my soul Oh Lord, Im Needing a friend to save me in the end Now Won't you tell me Where could I go but to the Lord Now Won't you tell me Where could I go but to the Lord
(Words & music by Brown)
Up above my head there is music in the air Up above my head there is music in the air Up above my head there is music in the air, oh yeah! And I really do believe, I really do believe I really do believe there's a heaven somewhere
There's a heaven somewhere
(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)

THE BRIDGE (Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Bernie Taupin)
I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long And they built it high and they built it strong Strong enough to hold the weight of time Long enough to leave some of us behind chorus: And every one of us has to face that day Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away And every one of us that ever came to play Has to cross the bridge or fade away
Standing on the bridge looking at the waves Seen so many jump, never seen one saved On a distant beach your song can die On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide [repeat chorus]
And the bridge it shines Oh cold hard iron Saying come and risk it all Or die trying
I hope you had a marvellous time celebrating Easter! This is the spring holiday that not only makes us meditate about the Resurrection of Christ, but it also revigorates all of us while we come to life along with nature in all its aspects...
