I don't think so. You can hear it very clearly on certain songs, alas, on his otherwise very nice Live in Australia album from the mid-1980s. I've often wondered where on earth it came from, because it certainly wasn't there during his pomp. |

Anyone else noticed the American twang he's adopted? Where did that come from? |

I watched that. He doesn't seem to bother to form his words properly, as if he's tired. Very strange. |

When did that start? Watching him thinging tonight on BBC4. I like him but it's getting worse and worse. McCartney gets absolutely savaged for a voice that is only really shattered by touring these days non-stop, but Elton's goes from pub bass to croaky alto these days, and he's acquired a weird lisp that was certainly never there during his pomp. Unless they painstakingly removed it from every recording he did. It's an emperor's new clothes scenario, I guess. They must all say, 'Crystal clear, Elton, brilliant!' |
