Elton John praises school kids cover of I'm Still Standing

[aceplace57]

There’s no higher accolade than praise from the Rocket Man himself.

I’ve watched the Video cover and agree the kids did a good job. The guitarist & percussionist were grooving in the pocket. The vocals were quite surprising. They were recorded & pieced together because of the quarantine. I would love to hear them after practicing together as a choir.

Sir Elton John’s reaction. He took the time to make a video.

Elton John 'blown away' by Telford students' music video

A school cover of I’m Still Standing by Elton John found its way to the singer, who sent pupils a personal message to say it had “really cheered me up”.

The video of the students’ performance has been shared hundreds of times on Facebook.

In the video message, Sir Elton said: "I watched it three times in a row because I couldn’t believe how good you sang and played it.

“You did something brilliant and made a brilliant version of I’m Still Standing.”

I’ve got a blank area too, but I found Elton John’s response on Youtube:

I’m not sure why the 2nd video in my OP broke.

Could be the switch to Discourse. 2 embedded videos may not be allowed. Or maybe YouTube took the video down?
