First things first: is the original of this a classic? Yes. Is it better than this cover? You could certainly say so if you wanted. Does that actually make this cover bad? No.
I'd say the word for this cover is 'sweet'... low key, well sung (without overdoing any of the emotion of the song), nicely arranged and definitely worth a look if you're fan of that kind of thing. If anything this is a good example of how to make a cover your own without destroying the song altogether. If the very idea of a well known song being covered by another artist in another style horrifies you for some reason, however, you'll want to avoid it.

I admit I'm not a huge fan of Elton John, and perhaps that's why I really enjoy this cover version of one of his songs by Ellie Goulding. I agree with the reviewer who pointed out that her emotion is restrained rather than absent. The song is deliberately understated. Can't understand the point of view that emotional outpouring in music is necessary to render the song or singer 'great'. True, i don't think Ellie's voice is outstanding, but I really enjoy this cover.

Beautiful
I think this is a gorgeous interpretation of a classic song. Ellie's voice is lovely and understated, and gives the song a really relaxing and peaceful tone, leaving listeners with... Read more

Not My Song. You Can Keep It Ellie.
Surely one of the worst cover versions in the history of pop music. What a complete waste of time, with a pathetically lazy arrangement consisting of a piano being played by an... Read more

A beautiful song
When I heard this on "Dancing on Ice" I resolved to buy it to add to my favourite downloads so that I can make my own favourites CD, it is sung so beautifully.

Pretty good I reckon
Well I think this is beautifully sung, breathing new life and meaning into the song. I can't understand how people find it emotionless - it is brimming over with emotion and... Read more

Dreadfully repetitive piano ruins any chance of an interpretation. When I heard this I thought it was an X factor reject. Truly awful. An example of how to ruin a passable song.

Bluffer Ellie Does It Again
Just awful. How do talentless 'singers' like this beat their talented peers and get the contracts so undeserving. This is badly sung. Read more

Strange little version of a classic
Listen to adverts on TV at the moment, and you'll be bombarded by classic 70s/80s songs slowed down and sung mournfully with a minimal instrumental background. Read more

Ellie Goulding
One of my favourite songs of the year. I think Elton John must be very pleased on this version of his classic hit.

Dont know what people who rate this song 1 star are listening to, mayb they are just tone death. Great song, excellent voice.

heartbreakingly beautiful
I profoundly disagree with the negative reviews. EG's emotionally constrained and tender version is very moving. Read more
