I'm Still Standing - Elton John | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION! 

Edit: A lot of you are saying this was not the place to start with EJ, we enjoyed the song a lot so if it only gets better in regards to checking out his 70’s catalog then we’re all for it!! What’s next?! Time to check out some Elton John!! We’ve been wanting to dive into this for a while now!! What’s the next track we gotta check out by him?!?! Cheers friends have a great and safe weekend! 🔥🤟🏻

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND -LOVE LIES BLEEDING IS LEGEND!!! blows this song away boys... DO IT PLEASE

"Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" is essential. It's a musical masterpiece!

Elton John's has a record that I don't think will ever be broken. He had a song chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for 31 consecutive years. The amount of talent, flexibility to new tastes in music and just putting out good music that requires is absurd.

"Someone save my life tonight " a song that pulls you in...

ELTON JOHN - Funeral for a Friend - Love Lies Bleeding

"Madman Across the Water" is a must my friends.

This track is unfairly maligned by snooty 70s people. This is a super vocal, and a perfect example of optimistic 80s pop.

EJ ballads: Your Song, Daniel, Tiny Dancer, Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Candle in the Wind, Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me EJ bangers: Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, The Bitch Is Back, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Crocodile Rock, Bennie and the Jets

"Saturday nights alright for fighting" - Elton John

"Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", "Levon", "Saturday Nights Alright (For Fighting)" and "Madman Across the Water" "Benny and the Jets" is also great.

"I've Seen That Movie Too" will change your life. It has the most clever drum part ever recorded, a perfect vocal performance, a soaring guitar solo way ahead it's time, and production values that give a beautiful song the right amount of grit without anything remotely cheesy.

"I'm Still Standing" is a good song, but it is middle-of-the-pack as far as Elton John's music goes. If you want to hear some real gems, I would suggest "Levon", "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", "Your Song", 'Philadelphia Freedom", "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". For some really good rockin' fun, try "The Bitch is Back" and "Saturday Night's Alright (for Fighting)". When you do that Music Share Monday, definitely do "Rocket Man". It is his most iconic tune, and deservedly so -- definitely an S-tier, in my book. I like your attitude about honest reactions. Your experiences are going to be different than those of us who grew up on these songs, and your reactions are enlightening. For example, you guys were not all that impressed with "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones, and yet I think of it as being in the top five rock and roll songs of all time. But my early experience of that song was in a completely different context. That song was released in 1965, and in the world of 1965 rock and roll, that song was an incredible standout, a real game changer. But, if you have never heard it before and listen to it now, it might sound kind of dated, and the production may seem crude, because the techniques available to producers in 1965 were far short of what was available just a couple of years later. Your honest reaction highlighted those facts and make it easier to understand the reactions young people have to classic rock songs. I thank you for that. Have fun and stay safe, guys.

Rocket Man and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are something else!

“Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding”....i've told you about it a 100 times, c'mon! And you still owe us a new reaction to "Thick as a Brick", because you did the short version! ahahaha

"Empty Garden" Elton John -- he wrote this for John Lennon

Kudos for branching out and daring new artists, but not even close to him at his best. Try "Levon," "Tiny Dancer," "Madman Across the Water," "Rocket Man," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," Benny and the Jets," or "All the Girls Love Alice." All are great, but for my money, "Madman Across the Water" is the best song he's done.

He has such a huge catalog of killer tunes. Tiny Dancer is my favorite. Candle in the Wind, Yellow Brick Road. So many great songs. Thanks guys. Stay safe.

"Tiny Dancer," "Your Song," "Madman Across the Water," and "Candle in the Wind" are my favorite Elton John songs, but almost everything is worth going out of your way to listen to. My opinion: everything by Elton John is B+ or better; most is A or better, and there are more than a few solid S tier. He's had an outstanding career

You could throw a dart at 50 Elton John songs - and all of them would be a worth to listen to.

Elton in person, in concert.....amazing. Three hours with NO breaks. He's a performer!

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is a mini concerto,but then,Elton John has such a massive catalogue with so many great tunes,you'll end up a fan for sure. Best album? Probably Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,every track a winner.

“I’m Still Standing” is okay if you wanted to review pure late 70s pop, but you should have reviewed “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding”. 💯

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is the Elton John song you've got to react to.

Saturday’s Alright for Fighting is definitely one song y’all need to check out by Elton.

You should listen from Elton: "Goodbye Yello Brick Road" and "Tiny Dancer" Too... And on similar style Billy Joel - It Still Rock and Roll To Me, his first n°1.

"Take Me To the Pilot" is a banger as well.

You’ve got to listen to “Take Me To The Pilot”, in my opinion it’s his hardest rocking song

Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting is his hardest rocking song. You WILL love this!

I definitely would suggest some older Elton John. "Tiny dancer","mad man across the water","Levon","burn down the mission" and my personal favorite"Mona Lisas and mad hatters" ☮️

You guys have to check out "Funeral For A Friend - Love Lies Bleeding In My Hands". Won't be disappointed. Thanks for your entertaining videos.👍

In 1983, I went with my wife on vacation to the South of France. We spent a day in Nice, and on the Promenade des Anglaise, outside the amazing hotel the Negresco, were a film crew, actually filming the official video to the song. If you get a chance watch the official video, its great fun.

Next: "Saturday Night's All Right for Fightin'" ...a real banger!

HAVE TO DO BENNIE AND THE JETS!!!!! Oh, Alex has heard it... lol... And 'Your Song,' 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' "Young and ignorant"... lol... ALL of us old timers were too! 💛

Love Lies Bleeding / Funeral for a Friend , Madman Across the Water , Goodbye Yellow Brick Road , Someone Saved my Life Tonight. , Honky Cat , Levon. So so many - stay in the 70s with Elton to build up your knowledge base then dabble with later stuff

Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting

One song to kick ass: Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting!

Elton John-I Guess that’s why they call it the blues.Great song!

Elton John's "Madman Across the Water".....

To honor Bill Withers who passed away today, any of these: Use Me, Ain't No Sunshine, Lean On Me.

My favourite Elton John song - Funeral For A Friend/Love lies Bleeding His BEST SONG EVER

Funeral for a friend/love lies bleeding. It HAS to be done. Or at least Tiny Dancer or Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

"Your Song," "Come Down In Time," "Where to Now, St. Peter?" "Tiny Dancer," "Madman Across the Water," "Have Mercy On the Criminal," "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," "All the Young Girls Love Alice." And those are just songs from 1970-73, his most intensely creative period, not all of which were hit singles, but stand the test of time. Hopefully you can find a way to avoid copyright strikes.

‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight’ or ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’

"I'm Still Standing" is the bullet train of pop rock.

"Tiny Dancer", "Your Song", "Honky Cat", "Daniel", "Crocodile Rock", "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", "Philadelphia Freedom", "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues".

"Saturday Nights Alright For Fighting" is a great banger. It rocks hard like two whiskey sippin', rock listening college kids I can think of.

Saturday Night's Allright for Fighting is the Elton Banger that was a college Friday Night get ready to party song for me growing up. If you need more proof, the Who covered it in an Elton Tribute Album and their version kicks ass as well as you can imagine.

As an avid Elton John fan, I got to say: why? Out of all the outstanding Elton John songs that are out there, you 2 snappa-heads decide that this is the one that you want to react to??

You need Funeral for a Friend Love Lies Bleeding

Some other great songs are "Tiny Dancer" and "Your Song"!

That song is This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore. Elton has always been one of my favorite artists of all time as has Billy Joel.

"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" will always be my favorite Elton John song.

Saturday Night's All Right For Fightin' and Crocodile Rock. Two bangers.

Best Elton John song for me is Saturday Nights Alright (For Fighting). Great track to rock out too 🤘🏻😃

I was a huge fan of Elton John back in the day. Saw him at the Spectrum in Philadelphia for my16th birthday with a group of my girlfriends. He was wearing his huge glasses, feathered hat and platformed boots. And, when he sang Philadelphia Freedom in Philadelphia, all the house lights went up in the arena and everyone seated on the floor stood up on their seats. he stopped singing and just let us go ... "Philadelphia Freedom, shine on me!"

Oh, btw.......Candle in the Wind is about Marilyn Monroe and was written as a tribute to her. Elton John performed it at Princess Diana’s funeral, changing some of the lyrics to fit the circumstances.

First reaction - Why are people continually down thumbing you, what’s so wrong in their life that they can’t feel the joy you put into these things? Right, now time to listen to your review ...

great choice guys. i've always been a huge elton john fan. so many great songs. ballads for sure. Levon is my very favorite elton song

I'm stunned that you guys haven't heard more Elton. His entire library, even the pop, is great. I can't name a favorite, because there's many.

I wonder if these fine young lads know that Elton John was a totally different and MUCH better artist in the 70's. It's not even close.

I would agree with A and A+ because as good as this song is he has songs that are so much better.

"Funeral...." the obvious choice, but "Saturday Night's Alright for Fightin'" was alway my fave.

I actually saw Elton John on his very first American tour, at the old Electric Factory in Philly. John, a drummer and a bassist. A truly remarkable show.

Strong suggestion for another Elton John reaction: "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" (studio). Amazing bass line. It's slow but powerful. Let me also re-suggest "Josie" (studio) by Steely Dan. Thanks, guys.

Bennie and The Jets, Saturday Nights Alright, Crocodile Rock

If you want an Elton John banger, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting is the one.

You're referring to "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore", the second single from his 2001 album Songs from the West Coast. Funny enough, it didn't chart on the Billboard Hot 100, although the music video, starring Justin Timberlake as a much-younger Elton, got a huge amount of rotation.

The lyrics reflect Elton's resurgence on multiple levels. He'd had a lot of #1 albums in the early to mid-seventies, but had started to decline in recent years. He'd struggled with drugs and was coming off that period, in addition to being more open about his sexuality. In a way, it was a coming out song for him (watch the music video sometime), even though it was still incredibly difficult to be out in eighties.

Try anything from “Tumbleweed Connection” or “Madman Across TheWater”

You guys have such positive vibes I always feel better about the world when I listen to music with you. Thanks for being who you are. Please don't change.

Usually I just sit and enjoy watching your guys faces as certain bits of the song hit. This I couldn't help but sing along the whole time. Man you have a fun rabbit hole to go down if you're going to do more Elton.

More Elton Songs: Levon, Tiny Dancer, Yellow Brick Road

Hold On Loosely by 38 Special everyone check it out

I think "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and "All the YOung Girls Love Alice" are up your guys' alley.

Love the reaction - Bob Seger's "Turn the Page"!

He's never been on my playlist but I respect his talent for sure. He and Bernie are probably one of the best singer songwriter duos of all time. Together they've produced radio hit after hit all through their careers. I normally wouldn't listen to this poppish music but your reactions make it worth it! Great job as usual guy's! Keep rocking and stay safe!!!!

Pretty much anything you pick is a winner. Try "The Bitch is Back". Love it! ✌️♥️

"Dude if I'm not ignorant and young, I don't know what else I am!!"~Alex. ANOTHER GREAT QUOTE!!! Andy, I appreciate your comment about the "yeah, yeah, yeah" part because I never thought of that myself. I usually don't get sick of that part, but I can see how some people may feel indifferent about it over time. This is one of my favorite Elton John songs, along with "Bennie and the Jets" and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me." Whether you like Elton John or not, you can't underestimate the power of him and Bernie Taupin. They are a really great songwriting duo, it's insane! Overall, great reaction video and great way to end the week! Stay safe, Andy and Alex!!! :)

Philadelphia Freedom is a MUST!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Long time collaborator Davey Johnstone on guitar and backing vocals. Glad you liked this cheese, but please avoid starting with the 80s for any band that started in the 60s and 70s. Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting is his banger.

All right got a killer song! Still need some ten years after dudes!👍

You guys low key sound like you’re killing this song with kindness. The A+ won’t hold up over multiple listens, I promise you.

This is the first Elton John song I remember hearing. I was 7 when it came out, the video was on MTV all the time. Any Elton song is a good place to start, pay no attention to the music snobs.

The biggest myth is Elton wrote this after he got clean. No. He was at his worst. In an interview he said he was very wacked on coke even making the video. He got sober about 7 or 8 years after this.

To me, "I'm Still Standing" is mediocre (I'd give it a C) compared to other EJ songs. It's nice that you like it, though. I'm not hating. 💖But since you all can review other songs, ... check out his classics: "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", his rendition of "Pinball Wizard", "Daniel", "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", and, of course, "Good-bye Yellow Brick Road". And maybe you two should do something live? It doesn't have to be reaction to a song, you can answer questions. We can hear more of "Alex's Stories" or "Stories by Andy"? Cheers and stay safe! 😀🥂

Oh you guys....there's SOOOOOO much more greatness from Elton. Dig into his catalog. Brilliant artist. Legend.

Yeah Elton!!! A TRUE LEGEND!!!! Glad you guys LOVED it!!! Too bad you're so young. We had great musicians in the 60s and 70s!! Welcome to two new FANS!!

In an interview Elton John said he and Bernie Taupin could, at their peak, write songs in 20 minutes. After Goodbye Yellow Brick Road exploded time was probably a precious commodity anyway.

Not my first choice, and that means there are lots of better songs coming!! Thanks

I'm an 80's child and this definitely will be the song I play when all this coronathing ends... and also because I now Alex hates 80's songs and watching him enjoy it, brightens my day. People tend to be a little "purist" with artist when they changed gears between the 70's and 80's. The 80's was a deep changing era and there are song that still hold themselves and sound fresh (and better and different than the "music" now days). I will always love when you do 80's songs and will always enjoy when Alex love them or hate them. It amuse me to see his reaction.

“Love Lies Bleeding/Funeral for a Friend”

Peter Gabriel..."Shock the Monkey"

Guys (or as you would say, Dudes)! I'm still a fan of the series but as with Bruce Springsteen, Thin Lizzy, Yes, and most recently, Dire Straits, you're misfiring on song choices. To be clear it's the SONG choices that are the misfires, not the artist choices. This song doesn't even come close to the "real" Elton John classics. Here is a list of songs you can't miss with (some of which Alex mentioned); Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Rocket Man, Crocodile Rock, Bennie & The Jets, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Levon and many more. The duo of Elton John as singer/songwriter and Bernie Taupin as lyricist is unmatched in pop/rock music.

People are such haters. Song's a total 80s banger and I love that you guys recognized it right away and aren't constrained by preconceptions. That said, looking forward to you hitting the heavier stuff. Madman Across the Water!

Fun fact about "I'm still standing" , Elton was in concert in Germany during 80's, and dedicated this song to Freddie Mercury (who was one of his best friends)... Freddie was in Germany at the same time with.... À leg plastered 😁

I’m still standing? Really? Not sure how many songs Elton John has but this is somewhere near the bottom. Try Levon, Madman across the water, The bitch is back, tons more. Keep rockin fellas. Enjoy watching!

If you guys liked THIS song, I can't wait for you to go back and discover his older stuff. This one is...ok. but it's Pop, not rock. Im gonna pile on with Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding . Stay away from anything he did late 80s through 90s lol

I watch your guys reaction vids not only for the step back in time for the memories, but also to see you guys step back and grow with us.

ELTON IS THE MAN! Daniel, Levon, Funeral for a friend....thousands of songs!
