Elton John: there's five or six different versions of "Hold Me Closer," this is the version Britney chose

[Slayer]

Looks like he’s doing promo!

Elton revealed there were 5 or 6 versions of HMC but this is the one Britney chose.

Full interview is on global player.

This was so sweet.

Not just a marketing strategy but also to boost her confidence.

And of course now Madonna is "gagging" to work with Britney again.

Legend 🚀🌹 ‘s

Elton is literally the most in touch and giving person in the industry. He has mentored and supported so many current artists. 

[Slayer]

He seemed very genuine and supportive when talking about Britney which is so nice to see.

[s&m]

can someone summarize it?

[MikeHunt]

I love that he praises her artistry and talent but he makes her seem so weak and all he is doing is charity work to make her feel confident, because he is the one person that can inspire her. And he admits it’s her ear that picked the one version that chose the global hit. 
I respect and like Elton, but the more Britney/family drama there is, the more he lays it on that he’s doing charity work for her and is just tryin to get her to be a confident woman.

[Intoxicatedbritney]

He is so genuine with her; it’s not false; he generally cares about her well-being and as he said, this version is the one she chose, and she got to choose it, that’s amazing for her to be in control of that choice 

[Dave92]

I love the Britney and Elton friendship. So much more genuine than Madonna and other *****es, God I hope she doesn’t work with her again.

I have to admit the same thought crossed my mind, like this is the kind of thing you don’t have to share… cause I don’t think anyone wants to hear that someone is trying to bring back their confidence as if they were their saviour. But I still think he means well. 

[fays1]

Im going to see him in tour very soon, hope he performs the song. And maybe Britney joins him while hes in California?

[MathCarmignani]

okay so exhale hackers when are yall planning to go get those other 4 versions?

It's nice to know that Britney chose the final version.

I personally prefer the demo version but I 100% support the final version because Britney was the one who chose it. ❤️

ONE OF MANY VERSIONS 

Yes Elton a confidance boost of help was def needed, but lets not undermine how much SHE IS HELPING YOU as well with bringing in the attention and talent thats got the song on top of the charts. 

Its Britney Bixhhh 

[PaMisMuchachas]

I was interested to see if Elton ever spoke of her before, so I googled and this what i found:

Quote

But in a wide ranging attack, Sir Elton John said today's 'processed performers' such as Britney Spears lack the skill to perform live. And he dismissed the majority of contemporary pop hits as 'packaged crap' - while his songwriting is inspired by the likes of Bach and Beethoven.

He fell in my eyes. Very opportunistic of him to work with her now. 

[Groundbreaking]

One legend supporting another and I love to see it

Our new 6 or 7 change costume versions

Did he actually say Britney's name or did the journalist just assume he was talking about Britney? Because when the only thing in quotes is "processed performers" it looks like Elton never actually mentioned any names. In the past he has actually praised her and said he'd like her in one of his music videos (after JT appeared in one and it was around the time they were dating).

Get that promo Hold Me Closer!! Interesting Britney chose the version to be released.
