His old stuff is good! I first heard some of his early stuff before he got really big and never thought he’d blow up since it wasn’t what mainstream was used to then one day when he finally got on the radio was so surprised and happy to hear it amidst the very contrasting music. Wish he’d go back to that just him and his guitar stuff.
Between Elton always hopping on whomever is popular to keep his own relevance viable ( which is smart because it ups his status as a Rock/Pop elder statesman instead of looking sad and desperate by railing against the kids like some of his peers do) and Ed giving Elton a shout out in that terrible song he wrote for BTS, I suppose this collab was a painful inevitability. Yuck.
I do like what Elton is doing too (that song with Dua is a bop).
I wish Madonna would have gone this route. There was promise when she did the VMAs with Britney and Christina and wore those "Britney Spears" and "Kylie Minogue" shirts around the same time ... although I recall Kylie being asked about it and she felt it may have been shady. She ruined her legacy with a new generation by competing with, rather than uplifting, those who came after.
