To bad there wasn't more pop flair to "E-ticket" (Elton is cool)

Watched the Dodger Stadium concert on Disney+ which made me listen a bit to Elton this past weeks, which I usually do not do. Mostly because of how tired I am of the hits (excluding the Lion King songs ofc, I do have a heart)

But it's hard to deny the two remix singles from his COVID album, the remix with Dua Lipa and the one with Freed Britney.

Too bad E-ticket ride with Eddie is sort of bland in the great scheme of things. Should have brought Eddie in on the Tiny Dancer remix with Britney or something else cool. Surprise with some third collab element. 

Picture off Eddies album is amazing though. Yes it is.

An interview with Elton on the two Eddie collab songs could have been included in a 2023 issue of DEEP.

    E-Ticket Ride and Picture are both awful. They’re up there with Shattered as the worst songs Eddie has appeared on.

    The Shattered cover wasn't meant to be taken seriously

    I know, but that just shows how bad the 2 Elton John songs are. At least Shattered had some novelty value, these are just unlistenable.

    I actually really like the elton/eddie duet on Earthling.. I guess I'm in the minority.

    Agreed. By far two of the worst. I could barely make it through E-ticket one time. So bad.

    Sorry D, but for once you don’t have a gif to rescue these songs!
