Elton john can be a master of the sleight of hand. the arrangements make it seem like there are substantial melodies underneath the tracks - but almost nothing demands repeated listenings. similarly, he always sounds like he's singing up a storm, but his voice glosses over the material, reducing most things to an uninteresting sameness.

The only criticism heard with any frequency of elton john's first american album, 'elton john,' was that the production was too grandiose. the melodies were superb, and lyrics frequently very good, and the performances flawless.

I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.

Fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. you change direction but the sandstorm chases you. you turn again, but the storm adjusts. over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. why? because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. this storm is you. something inside of you. so all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step.

I definitely see the voice as an instrument: it makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything. vocals can be so many things, like, "hey, i'm michael jackson, and this is my iconic voice," or a choir of people sounding like mozart's requiem. mariah carey is my favorite singer because her voice sounds utterly groundless. it's not even a human voice; it almost sounds mechanical.

Elton john himself never seems pretentious but bernie taupin's lyrics often do - sometimes pretentious in a clever sort of way, but pretentious nonetheless. there is a conflict between elton's and bernie's personal styles, no doubt about it.

Many are whispering that voldemort must be behind it. however, that is the point: they whisper. they daren’t confide in each other, not knowing whom to trust; they are scared to speak out, in case their suspicions are true and their families are targeted. yes, voldemort is playing a very clever game. declaring himself might have provoked open rebellion: remaining masked has created confusion, uncertainty, and fear.
