August 16, 2011 - World TeamTennis (WTT)
http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4276058

New York, N.Y. (August 16, 2011) --- Longtime friends Sir Elton John and Billie Jean King are bringing their annual World TeamTennis Smash Hits charity night of tennis to Cleveland for the first time in the event's 19-year history. Tennis greats Andy Roddick, Martina Navratilova and Amelie Mauresmo will join other top players for WTT Smash Hits presented by GEICO on Thursday, Oct. 27, at Public Hall in Cleveland. Tickets for the one-night event go on sale on Tuesday, Aug. 30, at 10 a.m. Eastern. The event is produced by World TeamTennis in association with the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission.Smash Hits has raised more than $10 million for the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) and various local AIDS charities since 1993. This year's event will benefit EJAF and the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland. The funds raised at the pre-match Smash Hits VIP Reception will be specifically targeted for local programs.
Captained by King and John, the players will form two teams and play a match using the World TeamTennis (WTT) coed team format. The music legend will also participate in a celebrity doubles match to open the event. Additional participants will be announced in the upcoming weeks. King and John have split the series so far with nine wins each.
"It is always such a great pleasure to co-host this wonderful event with my dear friend Billie Jean King," said Sir Elton John. "I'm so pleased that we will be teaming up with the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland to raise awareness about the continuing challenges of the HIV/AIDS epidemic both locally and nationally and to raise urgently needed dollars for community-based HIV prevention, education, treatment, and care services. I urge all of the tennis fans and concerned citizens in the Greater Cleveland area to support this event and bring their families for a wonderful evening of tennis for a great cause."
"It is great for Elton and I to return to Cleveland and we are looking forward to a night of competitive and entertaining tennis," said King. "WTT Smash Hits is much more than a tennis event. It's a way for us to give back to the local community and make an impact by generating awareness and much needed financial support for HIV and AIDS. We hope the Greater Cleveland area will help us reach those goals and support Smash Hits."
"This year the AIDS Task Force created a commemoration video in which people shared their reflections on 30 years of AIDS. The Smash Hits event will help ensure that resources remain available to help fight this terrible disease. Congratulations to the Sports Commission for attracting such an important event to the city of Cleveland," said Mayor Frank G. Jackson, City of Cleveland.
"The Greater Cleveland Sports Commission is thrilled to work with World TeamTennis in bringing this high-profile event to Cleveland. Beyond being an evening of great entertainment, it will benefit such a worthy cause and support our local community in a tremendous way all while showcasing Cleveland," stated David Gilbert, President and CEO of the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission.
Roddick, who is playing in his 7th Smash Hits event, is a former world No. 1 and continues to be one of the most successful players on the ATP Tour. Roddick has won 30 singles titles, including the 2003 US Open and has been ranked in the top 10 for nine consecutive years. In 2001, Roddick started the Andy Roddick Foundation (ARF), a charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all children based on the principles of respect for family, education and morality.
Navratilova, a 59-time Grand Slam champion in singles, doubles and mixed doubles, will be making her 9th Smash Hits appearance. Navratilova spent 156 consecutive weeks as the world's No. 1 singles player and shares the all-time Wimbledon record of 20 titles with WTT co-founder Billie Jean King. During her storied career, the Hall of Famer won 18 Grand Slam singles titles, 31 Grand Slam women's doubles and 10 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles. Navratilova holds 167 singles titles, more than any other player, male or female and 178 doubles titles. She is also one of the most successful WTT players in League history, leading her teams to five championships during her 20 seasons. Navratilova impressed off the court as she publicly dealt with a breast cancer diagnosis last year. Navratilova continued to play tennis and commentate for Tennis Channel during her months of radiation.
This is the first Smash Hits event for Mauresmo. In 2004, she became the first French woman tennis player to be ranked No. 1 in the world. Mauresmo won two Grand Slam singles titles during her career, the 2006 Wimbledon Championships and the 2006 Australian Open title. Mauresmo has won 25 singles titles and 3 doubles titles during her WTA career. She has also represented France in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games.

A Olimpíada de Londres não vai só despertar o esporte na capital inglesa, mas também a música. Elton John é o mais recente artista convocado a se apresentar durante os Jogos de 2012, de acordo com o jornal inglês The Sun. A expectativa é que o cantor faça um show especial para o evento esportivo.
Segundo o jornal inglês, Elton pediu para a banda inglesa Muse o acompanhar no palco, uma forma de trabalharem juntos e dar mais destaque ao show. Uma fonte disse ao The Sun que o cantor planeja uma apresentação ousada, mais do que o usual.
Além de Elton John, Paul McCartney está quase certo de fazer a abertura ou encerramento dos Jogos. Outros possíveis destaques para Londres 2012 são os Rolling Stones e Led Zeppelin, que ainda são procurados pelos organizadores.
Ainda haverá uma série de eventos musicais como parte da programação cultural do evento.


Elton John quer se juntar ao Muse para show durante as Olimpíadas

http://www.vagalume.com.br/elton-john/images/84572w249.jpg

Uma fonte ligada à Elton John disse que o astro planeja fazer um grande concerto para celebrar as Olimpíadas 2012 que acontecerão em Londres. Essa mesma pessoa conta que ele adoraria poder contar com a presença do Muse no evento.

Ainda que ande mais comportado ultimamente, Elton John ficou conhecido por seus shows grandiosos e extravagantes.

Ao que se consta ele quer que esse show seja ainda mais exagerado e grandioso que o normal, daí a vontade de poder contar com o Muse no line up da festa.

A fonte conta ao The Sun que o veterano astro que toca mês que vem no Rock in rio, é um grande fã do Muse e que há tempos ele sonha em colaborar de alguma forma com a banda de Matt Bellamy.

Os organizadores das Olimpíadas 2012 estão sonhando alto quando o assunto são os shows do evento. Aparentemente já foram feitos convites para que Paul McCartney se reunisse com Ringo Starr (o mais próximo que se pode chegar de uma reunião dos Beatles) e também para que os ex-membros do Led Zeppelin se juntassem. Os Rolling Stones também estariam na lista.

Que astros da música inglesa você gostaria de ver se apresentando nas Olimpíadas? Comente.

Elton John será a grande atração da abertura da edição 2o11 do Rock in Rio, que volta à Cidade Maravilhosa após dez anos.
O show do cantor, compositor e tecladista britânico ocorrerá no dia 23 de setembro, e certamente será sensacional.

O Cantor Elton John mandou uma mensagem a todos os cantores da atualidade

imagem


Um dos grandes cantores dessa e da geração passada deixou uma mensagem em seu twitter e facebook, a mensagem era interessada a todos os cantores da atualidade. Na mensagem o cantor, Reginald Kenneth Dwight (Elton John) Disse:

"Essa nova geraçã global é realmente bem estranha para min...
Eu Lembro da época em que cantar não dava muito dinheiro, e não dava muita fama, O grande michael Jackson que o diga, ná época em que ele começou junto com seus irmãos na banda jackson five, ele e seus irmãos não eram muito conheçidos, nem sequer chegavam a ter o numero de fãs que hoje eles tem! Eu lembro quando eu iniciei a minha carreira, era o ano de 1964.
  Eu fico impressionado com esses cantores de hoje em dia e essa juventude de hoje em dia, eu vivi os anos, 60, 70, 80 e os 90 e digo que essa geração não é tão diferente das de decadas passadas, a diferença é que dos anos 60 pra cá a juventude que acompanha música, ficou mais: Rebelde, meio maluca, e se comporta de um jeito que se fosse a 40 anos atrás essas pessoas sofreriam uma vergonha enstrondosa, só que não é tão diferente de hoje em dia, um exemplo é aquele cantor canadense de 17 anos Justin Bieber, digo que se ele apareceçe daquele jeito e canta-se daquele jeito para um publico dos anos 60 ou 70, ele iria ser muito vaiado e muito envergonhado, porém nessa geração as pessoas mesmo as mais velhas e experientes acham normal, um garoto se "maquiar" ou se preparar todo só para cantar! infelizmente é uma dura verdade, eu ainda não acredito que minhas músicas foram passadas para trás por um garoto que devo dizer tem uma voz um tanto feminina, então eu vou deixar uma mensagem não só a esse projeto de cantor, mas para todos os cantores de hoje em dia, que para falar a verdade hoje em dia ser apenas cantor ou cantora não é nada! A pessoa que canta tem que ter algo atrás dela, como sei lá fazer uma série de Televisão ou algo do tipo, mais a mensagem é!"

"Não é preciso parar de cantar, mas é preciso mudar o seu jeito de cantar! Claro que todos tem um jeito própio para cantar, mas o jeito que vocês estão fazendo é errado, procurem primeiro uma boa motivação para cantar, depois trabalhem suas vozes, o estilo de vocês também precisa ser mudado em opniões de várias pessoas! Mas em minha opnião o que faz um cantor ser bom não é o estilo dele, e sim a sua voz! Por mais estranho que o cantor seja, o que vai importar é a sua voz! Agora se você não tem voz para cantar não tente cantar, acredite! Mas é válido lembrar que mesmo que a voz não seja compativel com o cantor, se tiver pessoas que são seus fãs então não vai importar se você tiver uma voz de um ex-presidiario loco, ou de uma meninha de 6 ou 8 anos! O que faz um cantor é a sua voz e os seus fãs!"

Reality Version: Elton John – Jennifer Hudson – Circle of Life

http://versesandversions.com.br/2011/reality-version-elton-john-jennifer-hudson-circle-of-life/

postado por  
Música Circle of Life do Elton John na voz de Jennifer Hudson
Estreia hoje no blog uma nova sessão a “Reality Version”, destinada somente aos reality-shows, algo que eu gosto muito. Inclusive algumas versões dos “recém conhecidos” são infinitamente melhor do que a original.
Não podia estreiar essa sessão sem falar de uma das cantoras mais talentosas e injustiçadas que passou pelo programa americano de maior audiência nos USA, o American Idol. A ganhadora do Oscar, Jennifer Hudson.
Mas antes, uma geral sobre o artista que lançou a versão da qual ela canta e um pouco sobre ela também.
Elton John, cantor de sucesso há 4 décadas, começou sua carreira em uma banda na adolescência em 1967, mas o sucesso veio mesmo com seu álbum “Elton John” em 1970 que incluía o sucesso “Your Song”. Conhecido também por suas trilhas sonoras de sucesso estão os desenhos da Disney: “Rei Leão” (1994) e “Tarzan” (1999).
Jennifer Hudson participou em 2004 da 3ª temporada de American Idol, só conseguindo entrar para as Finais do programa pelo o Wild Card (segunda chance  de se apresentar e entrar para o programa) do jurado Randy Jackson.
Mas ela só ganhou visibilidade e popularidade depois de cantar “Circle of Life” música para mim  a melhor dela na competição. No entanto, Hudson mesmo assim não conseguiu tanta popularidade ficando em 6º lugar na competição.
Depois do programa, em 2005, Jennifer Hudson estrelou o musical “Dreamgirls” com a também cantora Beyoncé, escalada para interpretar Effie WHite onde teve que engordar 10 quilos para o personagem a levando a ganhar o Oscar de “Melhor Atriz Coadjuvante”.
Hudson já lançou 2 álbuns, o “Jennifer Hudson” em 2008 e o “I Remember Me” lançado esse ano.

It's a family affair: David Furnish's nearest and dearest join him and Elton on first ever summer holiday with baby Zach 

Last updated at 10:15 AM on 19th August 2011

They've been in the South Of France for most of this month on an extended summer holiday with their new baby Zachary - and now Sir Elton John and David Furnish have made their stay very much a family affair. 
The popstar and his partner have been enjoying the Mediterranean sunshine with their eight-month-old treasure but have now invited all of David's family along too. 
David and Elton, who don't seem to have stopped smiling since Zachary was born on Christmas Day, were seen walking across the beach with their party to a jetty to board a yacht.

Little Zachary even had tiny lifejacket fitted as they made the short trip across the waves in a launch to the vessel moored off-shore, with a cut patterned sun hat with a chinstrap protecting his delicate skin from the fierce sun. 
The gorgeous little chap was also sporting titchy denim shorts and a little pale blue patterned T-shirt, while daddy David, 48, was in a white T-shirt and light grey camouflage shorts with deck shoes.
Daddy Elton, 64, meanwhile was wearing a smart royal blue short sleeved shirt and blue checked shorts, with white plimsolls.

They've been joined in St Tropez today by Jack and Gladys Furnish, as well as David's brothers John and Peter, who've all flown out from Canada.
The entire crew are now cruising the area in a stunning superyacht basking in the 33°C (91.4°F) temperatures.

David and Elton have loved having their friends and family around them this summer.
Earlier this week, David had joined David Walliams and his supermodel wife Lara Stone at the resort's trendy Club 55. 
Lara, 27, and her 39-year-old comedian husband were seen strolling along the sands arm-in-arm looking completely relaxed as they soaked up the sunshine on Pampelonne beach.
Lara and the Little Britain star were joined by David Furnish, who has spent plenty of time at the beach club this summer.

He and Sir Elton have visited the exclusive venue on a number of occasion in recent months even taking their baby Zachary too. 
The couple have spent time with Kate Moss and her friends as well as enjoying a playdate with Neil Patrick Harris and David Burthka who brought their twins along. 
Meanwhile, Glee star Lea Michele has revealed she wants Elton to play the role of one of her gay dads on the show.
She said: 'It would be my dream if (her character) Rachel’s dads were on the show finally.
'Even if they were just watching her perform and she waved at them in the audience. She would look in the crowd and there would be Elton John!'

por Elton John: The Million Dollar Piano, quarta, 10 de agosto de 2011 às 08:35
 NASHVILLE, TN. (April 20, 2011)

World-renowned singer, songwriter and Yamaha pianist Elton John will return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace this fall with an all new show, The Million Dollar Piano, named after a stunning, one-of-a-kind instrument made exclusively for him by Yamaha.

A team effort between Yamaha Entertainment Group and Elton John, the million-dollar piano has been 4 years in the making and is called such because it cost $1 million to create. The designers and engineers from Yamaha Pianos in Hamamatsu, Japan worked with Elton John to bring his vision to life. The result is a spectacular, highly modified CFIIIS grand piano, representing a marriage of tremendous technology and art. There will be only 2 made in the world: one for Elton John and one that Yamaha Entertainment Group will help auction off for charity at the end of the Las Vegas engagement.

“A major visual component of the overall experience, this custom-made, state-of-the-art piano will be a stunning addition to Elton’s show,” said Chris Gero, Vice President and Head of Yamaha Entertainment Group. “We think you will be blown away when you see the entire production on stage.”

The Million Dollar Piano debuts Sept. 28 and will run for 16 shows, marking the beginning of a three-year residency at The Colosseum and Elton’s second as a Caesars Palace headliner. The first was for his production The Red Piano, based on another collaboration between him and Yamaha.

"Caesars Palace is just a perfect, idyllic place to play, and the show will be a gargantuan feast of music and imagery," said Elton. "I'm going to have a fabulous piano that Yamaha has been working on for four years, and that's the reason why the show is called 'The Million Dollar Piano.'"

Tickets for the first sixteen performances of The Million Dollar Piano go on public sale on Monday, April 25 at 10 a.m. PST. These 16 dates are Sept. 28, 30, Oct. 1-2, 6-9, 13-15, 18-19, 21-23. Tickets may be purchased in person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Box Office, open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. PST, as well as online at Ticketmaster, keyword Elton John.

In 1994, RPM company in Britain released an album entitled Reg Dwight’s Piano Goes Pop. This album collects together Elton's contributions to a variety of “sound-alike” covers albums issued during 1969 and 1970.



This CD was the first reissue of 20 of those anonymous tracks since they were released back in ‘69-70. After it was withdrawn, the tracks were released on another CD by the same label, entitled Chartbusters Go Pop. The full name to the latter release was Chartbusters Go Pop! 20 Legendary Covers from 1969/70 as Sung by Elton John. Yet another edtion was released in 2001 which includes sixteen of the original compilation’s twenty tracks.



The following quote is from Wikipedia: “These recordings - - are taken from a variety of periodically-issued budget-priced compilations of hit songs, under brand names including Top of The Pops, Chartbusters and Hot Hits. These were issued by budget labels including Music For Pleasure and featured current or recent hits re-recorded, with varying degrees of note-for-note accuracy, by nameless 'soundalike' performers. Like many other jobbing session singers of the time, Elton John worked as a vocalist on these albums. He specialised in copying the vocal mannerisms of the original singers of soul and rock hits.



“These covers compilations were cheaply recorded, cheaply priced, and sold in large quantities until, in 1972, compilations featuring the original artists were introduced by such labels as K-Tel. The public obviously preferred to buy the original recordings and the era of the cheap cover compilations quickly came to an end.”



The 1994 CD booklet includes a thorough look on the subject, written by Tim Joseph. In his essay, Joseph writes: “If the aim of these tracks was to sound as close to the original single as possible, it could actually be argued that Elton failed totally in his job! Despite the fact that he is meant to be a great mimic - -, every track here sounds like nobody other than Elton John himself. For which - - we have reason to be grateful, because throughout this disc Elton puts on the kind of performance one might have thought he would reserve for his own recordings. Quite simply, on several of the tracks Elton rips the original to shreds.”



The first track on Reg Dwight’s Piano Goes Pop is “My Baby Loves Lovin’”, which was the top selling single (UK #9./US #13.) for the group White Plains. The song, which was written by Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, was released on January 1970.



The group White Plains didn't exist as an actual recording band. They were merely one of the showpeices for studio singer Tony Burrows, who sang lead and recorded under many different band names; it was an ingenious marketing ploy to create record sales. One of the most well-known chart hits where Burrows sang lead is Edison Lighthouse’s chart-topping single from 1970, “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)”. He also sang lead vocals on The Brotherhood of Man's “United We Stand”, which reached #10 on the UK charts and which is also track number five on this collection.



The next track “Cotton Fields” is a song written by blues musician Huddie Ledbetter, better known as Lead Belly. The Beach Boys released the song as “Cottonfields” on a single on April 1970, and it became a big hit in the UK. The version on their 1969 album 20/20 was different, although both versions featured Al Jardine as lead vocalist.



“Lady D’Arbanville” was written by Cat Stevens and issued on his third album Mona Bone Jakon in 1970. Released as a single, this track reached #8 on the British pop charts.



“Natural Sinner” was originally performed by Fairweather, a British rock band formed in 1970 by former Amen Cormer guitarist and vocalist Andy Fairweather Low. “Natural Sinner”, which went to number 6 on the UK singles chart, was their only hit record.



“United We Stand” is a popular song by Tony Hiller and Peter Simons. It was first recorded in 1970 by The Brotherhood of Man, who scored a worldwide hit with it. The song, which became the band’s first hit (UK #10./US #13.) is considered a worldwide standard and has been recorded by more than 100 artists, according to Wikipedia.
