The wait is (nearly) over. Elton John and Brandi Carlile have spoken about their new collaborative creation. Now the Elton John fans deliver their verdict.
Radio Elton John spanned the entire Elton John World to create a special Fan Forum to debate the new album Who Believes in Angels?
One listener-cum-writer from Russia who remembers the Revolution (it would seem) misheard and thought the new album is called Who Believes in Engels? Right!
We have fans from Australia, Germany, Finland, Spain, UK, USA, and Canada on this show.
Funeral for a Fan? The last minute was the best minute? Those were some of the suggestions of Elton John fans who delivered their verdict on each and every song on the new album.
Expert fans on the show included Keith Hayward, Neil Barrett, Jim Turano, Linda Dupuis, Peter Thomas, Stephan Heimbecher, James Mackay, Tom Stanton, Urpu Kallio, Dale DeBakcsy, and Marta Coloma. The Fan Forum also voted out of 10 points for the overall album. Where did it land or is it still spinning in the stratosphere?
True, there were technical hiccups. We had guests lined up in the teens and the resulting show was over two hours long! But the smart folks at Radio Elton John studios managed to clean it up and work some magic to improve the sounds. Some major lessons were learned and we are confident to have another big line-up in future.
Everyone at Radio Elton John and Elton John World would like to thank all the guests for their patience, tenacity and contributions to this historic never-before-definitely-in-future episode that was packed with insights from genuine Elton fans.
