Clever musician…….. sometimes.
Some great songs, but a lot of dross IMO.

Would have been better if the poll was public
Well he has already done Kingsmen, so he's had practice.

Pedant alert: Performer and musician yes 100% but most if not all of his lyrics have been written by Bernie Taupin.

That abomination of a Tiny Dancer rehash with Britney is truly shite.

Music has such great diversity that there is something for everyone...I happen to like Elton's tunes and singing combined with Bernies brilliant lyrics..
.I know the late and lamented Catfish had very esoteric tastes in music which differed from mine but that was not a problem for either of us, besides, I couldn't afford the amount of drugs needed to listen to Leonard Cohen.

I like early Elton and prefer late Laughing Len to early but he wrote and sang some brilliant songs
You do not need any drugs for this

I went to see both Cohen and then the Webb Sisters with Catfish. Lovely days. Lovely people. Lovely songs.and as it happened….. lovely drugs.

Travesty of a cover with Britney Spears. 
I love Elton’s songs and his voice, but he seriously needs to stop. It’s embarrassing now

That was one of one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen (albeit on the telly).
Absolutely electric. I’ve not seen Elton so interested in a gig in, well, my adult life to be honest. He was absolutely on fire tonight.
That was one of the greatest Glastonbury headline performances of all time, the crowd reckoned to be the largest in history, and all for (I was reliably told) a very uncool and out of touch 76 year old guy nobody cares about any more.
Seeing him live a few times, I was very impressed. Tonight was a different level; despite the new hips, advanced age and making his Glastonbury debut.
What an absolutely phenomenal way to go out. Banger after banger, brilliantly sung despite the obvious changes in his range being closer to 80 years old than 70. Band absolutely perfect.
Wow. Be interesting to do a new poll tonight.

I don't think I've ever seen an artist so heavily reliant on autocue for the lyrics before.

One of my favourite Glastonbury moments was sitting in the grass watching 3 sexy girls in front of me dance to him playing this magical song, late afternoon sun dipping. Beautiful.
