Don't like it, not a fan of EJ, so this was a non starter from the word go for me :-(

[naomi24]

Ahhh ..... Love it! Love Elton John.

[emmie]

for no reason i can explain it won't play, but not a big fan of his either.

[Tilly2]

I like the message behind it.

[aelmpvw]

i'm not really the sentimental type but i found that strangely moving

[ChillDoubt]

Brilliant.
Poignant Xmas story of a national treasure.
What’s not to like?

[naomi24]

emmie, it took me a while to get it to play.

[B00]

"What’s not to like? "

Where do I start? Elton John? The song itself?

It's still a massive no from me, I feel cheated they've used this crud :-(

[Tuvok]

boring!

[emmie]

keeps stopping and starting..

[Ellipsis]

Harks back to 2010 ...

[naomi24]

Try this one emmie.

[emmie]

oh the passage of time, rather good in a way

[gingejbee]

Sorry, but I don't watch the ads....and don't know why the Christmas ads have come to be a subject of intense debate. The programmes -yes, the ads - no.

[spathiphyllum]

I actually really like this advert. I hate the way Christmas adverts are so melancholy, but it's touching, aint it?

[emmie]

i loved their Bohemian Rhapsody one, that was amazing

[snags]

Christmas TV ads featuring ginger apes all the rage this year:

[Ellipsis]

Harsh!

[emmie]

snags that is a great ad with a serious message

[Old_Geezer]

Well, no idea what the connection was between Elton's "Your Song" and John Lewis. Maybe connection isn't necessary in marketing these days.

As for Elton, since we're commenting, his earlier stuff was good, his later stuff pretty variable. I like "Your Song" a lot, even though some of the lyrics seem as if Bernie was desperate to think of something that fit.

Love it. We played that song at my Mum's funeral and as Elton is starting his farewell tour next year it seems fitting that he is looking back over his career.
