Introducción: un encuentro de estrellas

"Duets" es un álbum colaborativo de Elton John, lanzado en 1993. Originalmente concebido como un álbum navideño, el proyecto creció hasta convertirse en una colección de duetos con una asombrosa variedad de artistas de diferentes géneros y generaciones. El disco presenta a Elton cantando con leyendas como Don Henley, Gladys Knight, George Michael y Leonard Cohen, así como con estrellas contemporáneas como k.d. lang y RuPaul. El álbum es una celebración de la música y la amistad, y un testimonio del estatus de Elton como un icono respetado en toda la industria musical.

Análisis de canciones y colaboraciones

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" (con George Michael): La pieza central del álbum es esta versión en directo grabada en el concierto de Michael en Wembley en 1991. Su interpretación conjunta se convirtió en un éxito masivo, alcanzando el número 1 en el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos.

"True Love" (con Kiki Dee): Un reencuentro con su compañera de dueto de los 70 en una versión del clásico de Cole Porter. Se convirtió en un gran éxito en el Reino Unido.

"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" (con RuPaul): Una sorprendente y extravagante versión de su propio clásico, reimaginado como un dueto de dance-pop con la icónica drag queen RuPaul.

Cómo le fue y qué se dijo

"Duets" fue un éxito comercial. Alcanzó el puesto 5 en el Reino Unido y el número 25 en Estados Unidos, donde fue certificado platino. La crítica lo recibió con reseñas generalmente positivas, elogiando la diversidad de los artistas y la diversión del proyecto, aunque algunos señalaron que la variedad de productores lo hacía sonar un poco inconexo.

    If you were me And I was you If you had to play my part out What would you do Two crazy stories Two different views If you were me And I was you If you were me And I was you What kind of crazy things Would I have to do Who likes to party Who stays at home If you were me And I was you Never like strangers Though never the same Two circus sideshows That laughed in the rain You stayed with the full moon You searched for the stars Thank God in His heaven Here we both are

    Letra

    On and On On and On She broke my heart, he hurt me too That's something that only unworthy souls do They said goodbye, we say hello An introduction for a perfect love to grow Let's stop thinking about the past And start thinking about the future So that love can go on and on Let's stop thinking about the past And start thinking about the future So that love can go on and on She said she'd stay, he said that too So sad when you find out your love has found a new She made me cry, he made me weep But life has love in store for us that's ooh so sweet On and On (love keeps going on) On and On (they've got the whole of life) On and On (love keeps going on) On and It's time to say goodbye to crying eyes and broken dreams And get back to the joy that to each other we will bring That starts from summer love to last through autumn, winter, spring Our hearts will sing forever, love

    Letra

    Look at you, could I have been so foolish and so green A face that smiled at every passing scene Look at you, you're lost behind the web of woven time When each emotion pinball in your mind Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile I was the judge and jury at your trial Look at me, I know the road ahead will twist and turn Now I have the time to stand and learn That you and I have come so far With a shaken faith From the pit of a broken heart To a feeling great Feel like life has just begun No more singing duets for one I hold your picture here beside my bed You had a party raging in your head Look at me, I look at you with vacancy and hurt And here today all I can do is learn Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile I was the judge and jury at your trial Look at me, I know the road ahead will twist and turn Now I have the time to stand and learn I have this picture of me looking at you Looking at me And I would like to say Goodbye sweet memory
