If Sir Elton John‘s career had only spanned the 1970s, he would still be a music legend, an icon of glam and progressive rock. Fortunately, he forged on, segueing into each new era of rock and branching into film and Broadway with comparable success and his signature aplomb and style. As John celebrates his 76th birthday, we’ve undertaken a nearly impossible task — narrowing a huge catalogue of memorable compositions down to the 25 best.
John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, and showed an affinity for playing the piano at a young age. In 1967, he answered an ad for songwriters and met Bernie Taupin, which led to a long and successful collaboration, with Taupin writing lyrics to which John composed music. It took a few years of struggling, but in 1970 they had their first top ten hit with “Your Song.” In 1972, “Honky Chateau” became his first of seven...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 10, Episode 5 of “The Masked Singer,” “A Celebration of Elton John,” which aired Oct. 18 on Fox.
Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote the track “Philadelphia Freedom” in 1975 at the behest of tennis icon Billie Jean King (whose team was the Philadelphia Freedoms). So, it was wildly appropriate that King performed the song on Wednesday during “A Celebration of Elton John” on Fox’s “The Masked Singer.”
King performed “Philadelphia Freedom” as the Royal Hen — and the fact that we know she was on the show means that, alas, she was also the next celebrity to be unmasked on “Singer.”
“A true trail blazer, she is famous for championing equal opportunities for all, and has made it her royal mission to be a voice for the voiceless,” a “Masked Singer” voiceover shared in giving the hints to whom the Royal Hen might be.

If you’re a fan of soccer – or, in most of the world, a fan of the game they know as football – you probably recall some details from this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup tournament held in Australia and New Zealand. If you’re a follower of the Spanish women’s team, for instance, you no doubt remember that they beat England to win the tournament; if you root for the U.S. team, you probably remember (but want to forget) that they barely made it out of the first round and were eliminated in the 16th, becoming the first defending champion not to make the semi-finals.
But fan or not, you likely know nothing at all about the 1971 Campeonato de Fútbol Femeni, known unofficially as the 1971’s Women’s World Cup. At the beginning of “Copa 71,” a documentary about the tournament that screened Thursday on the...

Just four days after wrapping his record-smashing, 330-show “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, legendary musician Elton John received his very first Emmy nomination for headlining Disney+’s “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium.” Given the program’s status as the clear frontrunner in this year’s Best Live Variety Special race, its Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-winning star is well on his way to finally joining the exclusive Egot club.
In order for John to reach this massive milestone, his special will have to win against “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” and the latest editions of the Oscars, Tonys, and Super Bowl Halftime Show. Since Rock and all three of said institutions have been honored by the TV academy before, every nominee in this lineup should be considered a serious threat.
To determine what advantages the other contenders might have over “Elton John Live,” let’s take a closer look at each nominee.

It was a balmy Sunday evening on the last night of Glastonbury‘s 2023 edition and the most casual of observers would’ve been forgiven for thinking that Worthy Farm had transformed itself into an Elton John clone factory. Across the site, festival-goers were decked out in sequined knock-offs of the legendary singer’s iconic Dodgers Baseball outfit, feather boas, and oversized sunglasses befitting of the man himself.
The scene was testament to the excitement for John’s Glastonbury debut and, to add to the scale of the occasion, what might...

A version of this story about “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” first appeared in the variety/talk section of the Comedy Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Elton John’s mammoth farewell tour has been going on for five years with Covid interruptions, but it hit a peak of sorts last November with three shows at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, his final American shows ever. The last of those became the first-ever livestream on Disney+, “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium.” The rock icon spoke about the show along with David Furnish, John’s partner and the executive producer of the special via Rocket Entertainment.
Obviously, Elton, you have many decades of experience making a concert satisfying for the live audience. Does it change things when you have to consider a viewing audience as well?
Elton John: Well, I’ve never done this kind of thing before.

Busted’s Charlie Simpson has been crowned the winner of The Masked Singer.
The singer, 37, who rose to fame with the pop punk band which produced hits including Year 3000 and Crashed The Wedding, performed in disguise as Rhino throughout the ITV series.
Simpson performed three times across Saturday’s finale show and beat Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, who was disguised as Phoenix, and All Saints star Natalie Appleton, who was hiding behind the Fawn mask.
The Busted star admitted he did not expect to win the show and just tried to “remember the lyrics and have fun”.
Asked how he found the experience, he said: “I was terrified the entire time because the thing I was scared most of was remembering lyrics. I often forget lyrics to my own songs.”
He added that his last song of the show, Try by P!nk, was the only time he did...

Today Miley Cyrus is entering a new decade as she celebrates her 30th birthday.
From teen star to pop icon, the last 16 years of the “Wrecking Ball” singer’s illustrious career wouldn’t have been the same without her performance on the beloved Disney channel series “Hannah Montana”, which ran from 2006 to 2011, along with its related soundtrack albums.
Cyrus was just 13 years old when the first episode debuted on March 24, 2006. Her iconic role as Miley Stewart, the girl from Malibu who lives a double life, transforming herself into the famous pop singer Hannah Montana at night, quickly catapulted the young actress into stardom. The character’s secret identity kept fans intrigued and propelled the popular sitcom into four memorable seasons, just shy of 100 episodes. Cyrus even described her blonde alter ego as a “rocket that flew me to the moon and never brought me back down,” when she paid tribute...

Minutes before 8 p.m., JoJo Siwa emerged from a VIP area inside Dodger Stadium to take her seat for Elton John’s final North American tour stop ever. But before the 19-year-old could sit down, she was approached by hordes of enthusiastic concert-goers eager to snap pics of Siwa’s ensemble.
The entertainer was decked out in a head-turning ensemble inspired by one of Taron Egerton’s looks from Rocketman, John’s 2019 biopic. It featured a flame-embroidered yellow-orange Lycra jumpsuit topped by a rhinestone cap with orange and black horns and a giant pair of wings with red, black and orange feathers that stretched nearly three feet over her head.

“Donald Trump” made an unexpected cameo in Disney+’s live broadcast of Elton John’s U.S. farewell concert — but the ex-president’s name popped up in the closed captions due to a technical glitch at the streaming service’s external vendor, not because a hack or an employee going rogue.
Some Disney+ viewers watching “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium,” the artist’s final North American concert on Sunday, spotted errant “Donald Trump” text in the closed captions at a few points in the livestream, according to posts on social media.

Forty seven years after he took the stage at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in a sequined-studded baseball uniform as the world’s biggest pop star, Elton John walked on to the same stage on Sunday night wearing a bedazzled Dodgers bathrobe, a uniform more fitting for a 75-year-old man on the verge of retirement.
The crowd of more than 50,000 roared at the moment that came in the final minutes of the final North American concert of a tour John says will be his last.
“I want to spend time with my family because I’ll be 76 next year, he said. “I want to bring them out and show you why I’m retiring.”
He embraced and kissed his husband, David Furnish, while his two sons, 11-year-old Zachary and 9-year-old Elijah, wearing matching Dodgers jackets that read “Elton” on the back, waved gleefully at the crowd.

Neither the arrested individual nor the victims were named by the LAPD, but in an interview Sunday with KCAL9, CBS’ Los Angeles affiliate, the two victims — one man and one woman, who requested not to be identified — detailed their attack.

The show at Dodger Stadium brought the final North American leg of John’s grand “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour to a close. It was a fitting place to wrap the trek, as the venue looms large in John’s lore thanks to a pair of sold-out shows he performed there at the peak of his powers in 1975.

The year was 1975. Elton John, backed by a barrage of No. 1 albums and hit singles, hit Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for back-to-back sold-out shows.
The concerts became legendary in pre-viral times, thanks to an electric set from John, then 28, who tickled the ivories and roared into the microphone while dressed in a shimmering Bob Mackie-designed Dodgers uniform, blue sequined baseball cap and oversized white glasses. John was the first act to perform at the stadium since the Beatles in 1966, and a superstar was born. “In October, 1975, no one was bigger than Elton John. He was like Elvis at the height of his career,” once explained Terry O’Neill, the photographer responsible for the iconic images of the Dodger Stadium shows. “Elton still is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met and he gave his all at those concerts.”

Elton John’s audacious 1970 U.S. debut at a local nightclub moved a critic to declare that the slight young Englishman would become one of rock’s most important stars. It didn’t take long.
Within five years, his reputation cemented by a string of hits including “Rocket Man” and “Daniel,” fans packed L.A.’s Dodger Stadium for two rousing, sequin-bedecked concerts. This weekend, John will close out the North American leg of his last tour at the ballpark.
He calls it the right choice.

Britney Spears has just released her first new music in six years. Now that’s an occasion to celebrate. A moment that pop fans have spent years waiting for. “Hold Me Closer” is her collaboration with Elton John, tripping through a few of his classic hits with a disco throb. If you’re a longtime Britney fan, it’s a massive emotional experience to hear her sing again. To hear her step into a studio and unleash her growl. To hear her dust off that “baby.” A joyful day for...

Writer-director Siân Heder makes it very clear she knew the double meaning of “Coda,” the title of her new Apple TV Plus film, an acronym for Child of Deaf Adults. It’s used to describe the movie’s star, Emilia Jones, who plays would-be singer Ruby, a character eking out a living with her father Frank (Troy Kotsur), mother Jackie (Marlee Matlin) and brother Leo (Daniel Durant) — all deaf actors — aboard a fishing boat in scenic Gloucester, Mass.
“When I learned about the use of the term within the deaf community, in the context of music, it resonated for a coming-of-age story,” explains Heder, whose previous film was the gritty 2016 Sundance hit, “Tallulah,” with Allison Janney and Elliot Page. “To me, ‘Coda’ also represents the end of childhood, saying goodbye to the identity which exists within your family, bringing that part of your life to a close.”

Elton John celebrated his 30th year of sobriety with a pair of messages and photos on Twitter: “If I hadn’t finally taken the big step of asking for help 30 years ago, I’d be dead. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the people who have inspired and supported me along the way,” he wrote.
John also shared photos of a cake shaped like the number 30, a 30-year recovery chip and a table filled with cards from friends and family. The latter photo was accompanied...

Five months after the 1975 Grammys, Elton John and Diana Ross drove onto the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium stage in a futuristic-looking golf cart to host a ludicrous awards show that has been forever lost to time.
Producer-manager-impresario Don Kirshner, who had long since earned his bona fides as the capo of the Brill Building, manager of the Monkees, and, later, as the dry host of Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, which featured countless A-list acts, was looking for an alternative to the Grammys.

To kick off the second episode of “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” the eponymous lead played by Jane Levy wakes up in bed with a song in her head. This constant condition, in case anyone has forgotten the events of the pilot (which first aired more than a month ago), serves as the foundation of the series: After an earthquake strikes during a routine Mri, Zoey can hear anyone’s innermost feelings, but these deeply felt emotions are only expressed through elaborate song-and-dance numbers.
So why not start with one? Set to Kiki Dee’s infectious “I’ve Got the Music in Me” and performed with comparable energy by Levy herself, the number builds and builds as she brings in character after character to join her ever-expanding dance troupe. Skylar Astin, Peter Gallagher, and Mary Steenburgen all happily jump and clap along, as Zoey leads a well-choreographed romp from her bedroom to...

Elton John’s “Rocketman” closer, “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again,” is a joyous, infectious, summary song about love and redemption, which perfectly captures the merging of his amazing “Captain Fantastic” life with the surreal portrayal by Taron Egerton in the musical fantasy biopic. It’s also the Oscar favorite for Best Original Song (John won his first Oscar for writing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” for “The Lion King” along with lyricist Tim Rice).
“We wanted an uptempo song to capture the spirit at the end of the film,” said John by email. “It had to sit perfectly alongside ‘I’m Still Standing’ [the anthem-like hit from ’83] and lyrically refer to my recovery from drugs and alcohol, and the personal redemption that has come with it. I always wanted it to be a duet with Taron. That way the song builds a bridge between Taron playing me and the real me.”

Welcome to this week’s Nxt UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this is the first Nxt UK review of the year, so let’s blow it like Disney with Star Wars.
Match #1: Dave Mastiff def. Kona Reeves The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Prior to the first Nxt UK matchup of 2020, Nxt’s Kona Reeves took to the mic to blame everything in sight for his loss to Trent Seven several weeks ago. But when Kona turned his words to Dave Mastiff, “The Bomber” made him pay with a hard blow that sent his outspoken opponent to the canvas. Although the nefarious Reeves fought back with an earth-shattering assault, the dominant competitor sent his prey Into the Void for a big three-count.
My Opinion: 2.6 out of 5 – This was…enough. Mastiff looked like he was trying to eat Kona the whole time. El Pescado.

Newly revealed “Rocketman” soundtrack details include a previously unannounced duet between the movie Elton John and the Og Elton John. John and his big-screen portrayer, Taron Egerton, team up on “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again,” which will likely play over the end credits, if its positioning as the final cut on a 22-song tracklist is any indication.
While the rest of the soundtrack was solely produced by Giles Martin, “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” was coproduced by Martin with Greg Kurstin. Interscope, which is releasing the soundtrack, confirms that “Love Me Again” was freshly written for the movie. That makes it eligible for a best song Oscar, which would put it in a category that the otherwise nomination-hoarding “Bohemian Rhapsody” wasn’t able to compete in this past year, with its obviously all-catalog soundtrack.
Although the Queen biopic comes up for frequent pre-release comparisons, differences from “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the soundtrack level abound,...

Team Kelly Clarkson on ‘The Voice’: Alexa Cappelli was robbed of place in Top 12, say 41% of readers
“The Voice” coach Kelly Clarkson is hoping that first time is the charm when the Top 12 perform on the live Monday, April 23 show. She has three strong artists in contention for the season 14 title. America got to decide on two of her team while she was limited to making just one choice. She was faced with a particularly tough decision as her four remaining artists each had merit. In the end, she went with D.R. King over Alexa Cappelli, Dylan Hartigan and Tish Haynes Keys.
We asked you which of those three artists that didn’t make the cut with Clarkson was the most deserving to move on to the live shows. Your choice, by a slim margin, was Cappelli, who has 41% of the vote as this writing. That puts her four points ahead of Keys while Hartingan is down at 22%.

Kelly Clarkson is coming on strong in her first season as a coach on “The Voice.” She heads into the first live show on April 16, which will feature the Top 24, with one of the strongest of the four teams. This one-time “American Idol” winner is rivaled only by three-time coach Alicia Keys. The two veterans of this reality competition series — Adam Levine and Blake Shelton — lag well behind according to our readers.
Clarkson’s six artists earned a combined 11 chair turns during the blind auditions. Four of these made the cut by winning a knockout while one was saved by Clarkson and the other was stolen from a rival coach after losing their knockout.

Clarkson pitted her original dozen artists against each other in six battles. The winners of those — Alexa Cappelli, Brynn Cartelli, Jorge Eduardo, Jamella, Justin Kilgore and D.R. King — move on to the knockout round, which kicks off on April 2. Clarkson used one of her two steals in Battle 1, picking up Tish Haynes Keys when Levine opted to go with Rayshun Lamarr after their duet on “Sweetest Thing.” She used the other in Battle 3 when Shelton went with Pryor Baird over Kaleb Lee after their performance of “Don’t Do Me Like That.”

Kelly Clarkson is only in her first season as a coach on “The Voice,” but she is proving to be a formidable opponent to veterans Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as well as the returning Alicia Keys. Her 12 artists earned a combined 24 chair turns during the blind auditions; that is second only to Keys whose original contestants numbered 29 chair turns between them.
Clarkson has pitted eight of these dozen artists against each other in battles on March 19 and 20. The four winners of those — Brynn Cartelli, Jorge Eduardo, Jamella and D.R. King — move on to the knockout round. Two of the four losers — Teana Boston and Amber Sauer — saw their time on “The Voice” come to an end. However, the other two who went down to defeat – Jackie Foster and Dylan Hartigan – were rescued by Levine and Shelton respectively.

Kelly Clarkson faced her first big challenge as a coach on “The Voice” when the battle rounds begin on March 19. She must decide which six of her 12 artists to take through to the next round, the knockouts. To help her make these tough choices, she has brought in teen singing sensation Hailee Steinfeld as an advisor. Clarkson, who won the first season of “American Idol” back in 2002, certainly understands the pressures facing these would-be stars.
We have done some digging and discovered the match-ups of the 12 artists on Team Kelly Clarkson. We recap these below, including the songs that each of these contestants performed in the blind audition episodes that brought them to this point in the competition.

The first winner of “American Idol” used that experience to mentor artists during the make-or-break knockouts.

Going into Night 4 of The Voice’s Season 14 Blind Auditions, I was thinking that Alicia Keys wasn’t kidding, like, at all when she told Kelsea Johnson that she was an unstoppable beast who had every intention of winning the show again, as she had with Chris Blue in Season 12. Ahead of Tuesday’s episode, her team was made up damn near entirely of singers that I either liked a bunch (Kelsea and Britton Buchanan) or flat-out loved (Johnny Bliss, Christiana Danielle and my current favorite, Jaclyn Lovey).

Shaquille O'Neal and Jimmy Fallon went head-to-head in a lip-sync battle on Monday night's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Fallon kicked things off with House of Pain's "Jump Around," but O'Neal proved to be stiff competition when he topped the host's performance with his own rendition of Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative."
"I'm bringing 1988 back," the NBA star joked as he ditched the standing mic for a mic headset and invited audience members up to the stage to dance with him. Musical guest Pitbull made a surprise appearance during O'Neal's set.
The two competitors made nice toward the end of the battle, as O'Neal forced Fallon to join him for a duet of Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." O'Neal, mouthing Dee's lines, got affectionate with the host,...

What an epic Lip Sync Battle!
Shaquille O’Neal helped kick off Jimmy Fallon‘s weeklong taping of The Tonight Show in Orlando, Florida on Monday by going head-to-head with the late night host in the show’s wildly popular pretend-singing contest.
