ELTON JOHN PASSE L’ÉTÉ À MONTE CARLO


Elton John Recruits Marc Ribot, Neil Young, & More for New Album

I enjoy a good Elton John pop song as much as the next guy, but Tumbleweed Connection is truly my jam, so it’s great news around here that John, Bernie Taupin, and company have “cut fifteen songs ranging from Stones like rockers, Country tinged ballads, Gospel and even a Sinatra like weepy similar to something torn from the grooves of ‘In the Wee Small Hours’.”
That quote is from Taupin’s official site, where John’s longtime lyricist provided an update on their forthcoming as-yet-untitled album with Leon Russell, one of rock’s unsung heroes. T Bone Burnett is producing the album with a backup band featuring the one and only Marc Ribot, drummer Jim Keltner, Jay Bellerose, Dennis Crouch, and Keefus Ciancia. Pretty exciting lineup so far, but wait, there’s more!
ABC News reports that Neil Young and Booker T. Jones are also among the album’s guests. Well played, Sir Elton.

Elton John Working With Neil Young on New Album

http://www.spinner.com/2010/03/06/elton-john-working-with-neil-young-on-new-album/


Posted on Mar 6th 2010 3:00PM
Sir Elton John is working on an album with longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin that will feature guest spots from Neil Young and others.


Sir Elton and Taupin are working with songwriter Leon Russell, and together the three have laid down 15 tracks for the album, according to an update on Taupin's website. Veteran producer T-Bone Burnett, recently in the news for his 'Crazy Heart' soundtrack accolades, is overseeing production of the recording sessions, as Taupin previously reported, and the trio is "about to start vocals and overdubs immediately."


The three have "cut fifteen songs ranging from Stones like rockers, Country tinged ballads, Gospel and even a Sinatra like weepy similar to something torn from the grooves of 'In the Wee Small Hours.'"


Taupin adds that the album is "varied in scope and drenched in a rich tapestry of atmospherics. Don't expect to hear the old EJ/BT sound; this is organic recording unlike anything you've heard from our duo before."


ABC News reports that Young and Booker T Jones will be featured on the album. The trio has also recruited guitarist Marc Ribot, bassist Dennis Crouch, and drummers Jim Keltner and Jay Bellerose, with more collaborations to come.

Madonna com ou sem Jesus na festa Pré-Oscar?

Joyce Pascowitch posta a seguinte noticia no Site Glamurama:
Quem pode, pode! Glamurama foi o único veículo do Brasil, e também da imprensa da América do Sul, que participou da festa pré-Oscar promovida pela Grey Goose, em Los Angeles, nessa quinta-feira. E como foi? Celebridades para todos os lados… Confira os detalhes!
* O Soho House, clube Inglês que até então só existia em Nova York, abriu as portas nesta quinta-feira em grande estilo. No lugar só entram sócios, já que ele funciona como uma espécie de clube de lazer – diurno e noturno. Só que, na nesta noite de quinta-feira, ninguém menos que Sir Elton John, com a Grey Goose, estava convidando para o agito pré-Oscar.
* Com um espaço na cobertura de um prédio supermoderno, colado em Beverly Hills, o clube é circundado por um terraço, que dá uma vista de 360 graus de Los Angeles, de tirar o fôlego. Na chegada, no estacionamento, dezenas de manobristas estavam a postos para pegar os carros dos convidados – e dos desesperados para entrar na festa. Uma cena bem São Paulo, guardadas as proporções.
* Hostess na porta – com lista – e tudo o mais. O que não era para menos: depois de pegar o elevador, chegar à cobertura e ainda subir um lance de uma suntuosa escada, Glamurama deu de cara com Jennifer Lopez e o marido, Marc Antony, Dustin Hoffman, Sir Elton John, claro, que estava na mesa central da casa – fazendo as honras – Quentin Tarantino, com sorriso de orelha a orelha, Kelly Osbourne – loira – Topher Grace – mais conhecido pelo papel no seriado “That 70’s Show” - Edward Norton, Juliette Lewis e… Para quem pensa que parou por aí, se enganou: Madonna, sozinha, também foi, apesar de não ter ficado muito, e Clive Owen e Joaquin Phoenix também. Os dois, supersimpáticos, estavam só com amigos, para a alegria das lulus, que eram bem poucas na festa, diga-se de passagem. Ah, pista de dança não tinha. A música, que começou com o jazz norte-americano e acabou no pop – leia-se Madonna e Beyoncé- rolava a um volume mais comportado, digamos assim.
* Glamurama conseguiu tirar algumas fotos exclusivas, mas a direção da festa logo proibiu, uma vez que tinham contratado um dos melhores fotógrafos do “fashion business” para clicar o evento: o suíço Michel Comte. Ele, inclusive, fez questão de dar “oi” ao Glamurama em um português carregado de sotaque.

Dustin Hoffman e Natalie Portman, Madonna, Josh Hartnett, Eva Longoria, Elton John, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Lopez e Marc Antony, LaTanya Richardson, Angela Bassett, Regina Taylor, Viola Davis e Gabourey Sidibe, detalhe do menu, Clive Owen e Carey Mulligan na Grey Goose Party at Soho House West Hollywood on 4th March: noite para poucos.
Porem, anteriormente uma fonte disse ao ‘The Mirror’ que Madonna estava com Jesus na festa.
De acordo com o ‘The mirror’, Madonna aproveitou bastante o jantar da festa pré-Oscar no ‘Grey Goose Cecconi’ em Melrose, beijando seu namorando Jesus Luz assim como Elton John e David Furnish, Sienna Miller, Matthew Rhys, Dev Patel e a indicada ao Oscar Marisa Tomei.
“Madonna parecia completamente apaixonada por Jesus e ele por ela”, contou uma fonte ao ‘The Mirror’.
“Eles ficaram a noite toda no canto à luz de velas e mesmo quando Elton John chegou eles sequer levantaram para cumprimentá-lo. Madonna costuma ser reservada quando está com um homem em público, mas ela não estava se importando que os outros a vissem com Jesus”,completou a testemunha que esteve na festa.
Pois é… mas tem mais um detalhe nessa história…
Só esqueceram de avisar a quem inventou a história do The Mirror que Jesus Luz estava em Lisboa enquanto Madonna estava na festa em Los Angeles.

Elton John to Rock Chichen Itza

Elton John to Rock Chichen Itza

http://vacations.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Elton-John1.jpg

The ancient Maya ruins of Chichen Itza are one of the top attractions for travelers on Riviera Maya or Cancun vacations. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chichen Itza is home to El Castillo, The Castle, one of the best preserved and restored pyramids of the Maya world, along with many other impressive structures. It’s a place of profound spiritual significance for the Maya people, especially during the vernal and autumnal equinox, when the rising sun casts a shadow in the shape of a feathered serpent that crawls down the steps of El Castillo.
This impressive archeological site has also become an occasional venue for the hottest concerts on the Yucatan Peninsula. The latest artist to announce a concert there is the Rocket Man himself, Elton John. Riviera Maya hotels are filling fast with fans who want to take part in the special evening concert. Sir Elton John will perform on April 3 on a stage set up at the foot of El Castillo.
Tickets are still available for the show on Ticketmaster, but many vacationers will probably end up buying the tickets as part of a package. Hotels and tour operators are all trying to create unique Elton John concert experiences. Most of the packages include concert tickets and transportation, but one hotel, the Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya has gone a step further to create the ultimate Elton John concert experience.

The Mandarin Oriental’s Elton John Chichen Izta package starts with four nights at a beachfront casita. The casita comes with its own private infinity pool of course. The package also includes a preshow party at the hotel’s cocktail lounge, private transfers to and from the concert, as well as two VIP concert tickets. Knowing that you will be worn out after a night of concert revelry, the package also comes with a personal butler, spa treatments, dinner for two at the resort’s Ambar restaurant, and a bottle of French champagne with Beluga caviar. All this could be yours for a mere $13,000 for two.
If that’s a little too steep for your wallet, there are tickets available for roughly US$80, $160, $240, and $400 each depending on the seating. There won’t be caviar included, but you might get to experience a little “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”  just as it is doing exactly that.
John’s famous song “Crocodile Rock” will most likely be part of the playlist given the abundance of that particular reptile in the Yucatan region, but if not, you can always stop by the Riviera’s Maya’s Crococun Zoo for your own hopping and a bopping.


Vendors at Chichen Itza Vow to Protest and Blockade Elton John

http://www.americanegypt.com/blog/?p=816

Maya 
vendors at Chichen threaten to protest and blockade Elton John concert
The association representing hundreds of vendors who flood into Chichen Itza every day to sell crafts and trinkets to tourists has vowed to begin blockading Chichen Itza over the next month in protest of the forthcoming Elton John concert April 3.
While the vendor association maintains that the Elton John concert is illegal, of greater concern is the current ownership situation of Chichen Itza. The land under many of the most significant monuments is owned by Hans Thies Barbachano, who the association is claiming discriminates against them.
In retaliation for actions by Thies Barbachano and the Elton John concert, the vendors are threatening to protest and set up blockades to prevent tourists from seeing Chichen Itza. In a statement, Viveldo Pech Moo, representing the vendors, demanded that a dialogue be opened with Yucatan states Patronato Cultur and the federal Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), which co-manage Chichen Itza, and with Thies Barbachano, so that the indigenous Maya “are taken into account when it comes to tasteless performances,” referring, presumably, to Elton John.
The purpose of the protests and blockades will be to bring attention to the plight of the Maya, who desire to be able to sell their wares at Chichen Itza without interference and, at least according to the news source La Jornada, to be able to see the concert for free, if they so desire.
Meanwhile, INAH has released a statement in response to a declaration by three members of its staff representing hundreds of workers that holding concerts at Chichen Itza is illegal. According to INAH spokesman Julio Castrejon, steps will be taken to insure installation of the concert stage and audience platforms will not affect the archaeological remains of Chichen Itza. “We will protect all archaeological remains.”
Organizers of the concert have also argued that a portion of the proceeds from the Elton John concert and previous concerts held there (Placido Domingo, Sarah Brightman) go to the communities affected and to augment research efforts at Chichen Itza.


Elton John set for Oscars bash

Sir Elton John is hosting his annual Oscars bash
Sir Elton John is hosting his annual Oscars bash
Sir Elton John has invited the Olympic gold medal winners to his Oscar-viewing party this year.
Construction of the massive marquee, home to one of the biggest parties in Hollywood, has begun in the grounds of the city's Pacific Design Center for what looks set to be another massive fundraising event for the singer's charity.
Scott Campbell, the director of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, said this year's guest list promises to be pretty impressive.
"It's a great list and it brings together a diverse group of people, including this year's three Olympic medal winners," he said.
"We have a very loyal group of core friends - everyday people and people in the media and entertainment world who come together."
Following tradition, after the stars finish watching who wins this year's Academy Awards, Elton will take to the stage to perform a special set with a musical guest. This year he'll be performing with Grace Jones.
But fundraising is at the event's heart, explained event producer Virginia Fout.
"You have an Elton John hosted event which, as we all know, Elton wants to be beautiful elegant and nice... but you're also raising money for charity so you have folks that have paid a lot of money to sit and have dinner for a good cause."
The five-course menu includes a spring vegetable compote, risotto carnaroli with saffron liquorice, a choice of either New York steak or Wahoo with black olives and stewed lentils, and for desert a 'crispy milk chocolate bar with a bitter chocolate glaze, meringue sticks and apricot coulis'.

Elton John, Billy Joel sing to 15,000 in Wichita

The Wichita Eagle

http://www.kansas.com/2010/03/04/1208910/elton-john-billy-joel-sing-to.html


The two stars, both now in their 60s, wound down their "Face 2 Face" tour with a stop in Wichita, where they performed more than 30 of their best-known hits.
"It's been 31 years since I last played in Wichita, back in 1979" Joel joked from the stage when it was his turn to perform solo. "I'm not really Billy Joel. I'm Billy Joel's dad. Billy's home messing with his hair."
The show started with the two stars emerging from two separate sides of the stage — first Joel, wearing a casual suit with a blue T-shirt. He stood, smiled and soaked up the applause for a few minutes before motioning to the other side of the stage as John appeared, wearing a black tux with tails, purple-hued sunglasses and a scarf printed with the words "Stardust Kiss."
The two sat at black grand pianos facing each other and launched into cooperative performances of four hits — John's "Your Song" and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and Joel's "Just the Way You Are" and "My Life."
Joel exited, and John launched into a solo set that included "Levon," "Rocket Man," "Madman Across the Water," "I'm Still Standing," "Daniel" and "Crocodile Rock."
He ably kept up with his hour-plus set, standing up from the piano to dance every few songs. But his age showed on "Tiny Dancer" and "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road" when he skipped his famous high notes. On "Tiny Dancer," John purposely stayed in a lower register. And on "Road," he let the band members take the high notes.
John didn't chit-chat at all from the stage, but Joel's solo set was full of jokes and one-liners.
He opened with "Angry Young Man" and played his way through "Movin' out (Anthony's Song)," "Allentown," and crowd favorite "We Didn't Start the Fire," a song during which Joel left the piano and played the guitar in the center of the stage.
At the end of his hit "Always a Woman," the oft-married Joel joked,"... and then we got divorced."
Joel's more energetic set had the crowd on its feet dancing through other hits, such as "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me" and "Only the Good Die Young."
At the end of the show, the two returned to the stage and performed an encore together, collaborating on "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues," "Uptown Girl," "Candle in the Wind," "Bennie and the Jets" and finally "Piano Man."
Annie Sauber, who got seats in the third row after the seats she purchased were blocked by a camera, said John and Joel provided the soundtrack to much of her youth.
She brought friend Marilee Nordhus along with her, and the two spent the concert dancing and reminiscing.
"I can remember my mom cleaning to 'Bennie and the Jets' when I was 5 or 6 years old," Sauber said. "It reminds me of the smell of Pledge every time I hear it."

Sobre Elton John
Sir Elton John é  dos artistas mais bem sucedidos de sempre. Após ter vendido mais 40 milhões de discos e ter actuado para milhares de pessoas em todo o mundo, o britânico vem ao Rock in Rio-Lisboa 2010 revisitar e cantar os maiores sucessos da sua carreira para o público português.
Ao longo da sua carreira, o compositor inglês já editou 29 álbuns de originais e esta será a sua terceira passagem por Portugal. Entre os seus grandes êxitos encontram-se temas como Your Song, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Something About The Way You Look Tonight, I'm Still Standing, Sacrifice, Nikita ou Candle in the Wind.
Todos estes hits deram a Elton John dezenas de galardões, entre os quais se destacam o Brit Award para “Melhor Artista Britânico Masculino” (1991), seis Grammys, incluindo o de “Prémio Lenda” (2001), e onze prémios Ivor Novello.
No seu percurso profissional foram vários os artistas que com ele actuaram, incluindo John Lennon, Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Sting, Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti, George Michael e, mais recentemente, na cerimónia de entrega dos Grammys deste ano, Lady GaGa.
Sobre os Trovante
Os Trovante, grupo formado no Verão de 1976, em Sagres, era inicialmente composto por João Nuno Represas, Luís Represas, Manuel Faria, João Gil e Artur Costa. Mais tarde, Fernando Júdice e António José Martins juntaram-se ao grupo. Têm no seu repertório temas como 125 Azul, Noites de Verão, Outra Margem, Perdidamente, Timor, entre outros. 
Em 1977 gravaram o primeiro disco “Chão Nosso”, com uma forte componente política e música tradicional portuguesa. A partir de 1980, o grupo concentrou-se mais na vertente tradicional e lança “Baile no Bosque”, que conta com êxitos como Balada das Sete Saias e Outra Margem. 
O concerto do Jornal Sete foi o ponto de viragem na carreira dos Trovante, tornando-os referência no panorama musical português. Em 1983 o álbum “Cais das Colinas” é lançado e José Salgueiro substitui João Nuno Represas. A célebre música Saudade é parte integrante deste projecto.
Passado um ano, lançam “Trovante 84” com uma série de temas que se tornaram memoráveis, entre eles Xácara das Bruxas Dançando, Travessa do Poço dos Negros e o famoso Molinera. Nesse mesmo ano, dão espectáculos no Coliseu de Lisboa e no Rivoli do Porto, ambos com lotação esgotada, e encerraram a Festa do Avante, onde actuaram para cem mil pessoas. 
Em plena explosão do Rock em Portugal, os Trovante revelaram-se uma das mais importantes bandas nacionais, compondo temas que permanecem até aos dias de hoje.
Sobre Leona Lewis
Leona Lewis, que actuará  pela primeira vez em Portugal, conquistou a fama após ter vencido o concurso X-Factor. “Spirit” (2007), o seu álbum de estreia, foi um enorme sucesso que vendeu mais de sete milhões de cópias em todo o mundo e alcançou sete discos de platina só no Reino Unido. Deste primeiro disco, que esteve em primeiro lugar no top britânico, norte-americano, canadiano, irlandês, australiano e neo-zelandês, resultaram singles como Bleeding Love, que alcançou o número um no top português, Better in Time ou Run.
Em Novembro de 2009, a londrina lançou o segundo disco. “Echo” está a ser um sucesso de vendas um pouco por todo o mundo e os temas Happy e I got you tocam frequentemente na maior parte das rádios.
Na sua curta mas consistente carreira, Leona Lewis já foi foi nomeada para quatro prémios Grammy em 2008, venceu o prémio “Ivor Novello” na categoria de “Melhor Single Britânico de Melhor Venda” com A Moment Like This, e Bleeding Love arrecadou o prémio “Melhor Tema” nos Virgin Media Music Awards. Nos MTV Asia Awards 2008 venceu ainda o prémio “Artista Internacional Revelação”.
