...Elton John Lewis Christmas Ad 2018...

...So the most anticipated Christmas Ad has dropped, and I'm still waiting to feel it...I get the idea behind it, but just didn't have much Christmas theme until the end...I think they should have had Elton John at the very start as a child on the piano, then go to the end and work backwards like they did until he comes down and the stairs and plays it...

Absoulte rubbish.

Just an Elton John movie promo.

Elton was the first male singer to write and sing a song about another man. That 'Hold me closer Tony Danza' song.

He must have really loved Who's The Boss.

Ha ha all the young ones who are big in the music industry these days, have less creativity than Elton has in his baby finger.

Was thinking the same when I saw it (as i saw the promo for Rocketman last week and it's quite similar)

He got a cool 5m for it too, not exactly the xmas message you want to give, unless he donates it.

Fair play to him.

Don't see the problem with it. Both parties benefit and famous people can demand a lot of money.

Why should he donate it?

I thought that was beautiful, simple as that

Elton John is a fart knocker who promised to retire 15 years ago.
But here he is. Still annoying us.

He's a legend. Absolutely brilliant in Kingsman 2 as well.

Ad would make a lot more sense if it was Bernie Taupin that he unwrapped! :pac:

JL said that figure was wildly inaccurate... and he donated a portion of it

Turning up in your sitting room forcing you to watch him is he?

I haven't seen it yet but I bet it isn't a patch on his performance in the Marathon Snickers ad...

Boom_Bap

Good concept, good execution, hits the feels at the end.

Also, what a f*cking song.

Lollipops23

It's a great ad, but not Christmassy in the slightest.

I wish they'd open a full store here. Great shop and a great concept.

Correction, Elton John did not write this, Elton John only wrote 1 song which was ever performed by himself and it was terrible. Bernie Taupin is the talent behind Elton John and has only gotten the recognition in more recent years.

Elton is still a million times better than the absolute cringe fest that masquerades as music these days.

Would prefer a lot of todays non radio stuff compared to anything Elton John has done since the eighties.

I'm guessing you already know, but I agree, there is a weird ordeal made over their Christmas ads, which are no better than those of numerous other retailers. The bandwagon in this country is even weirder.

Vintage Sir Elt is great though.
