I always though Elton John sung the song 'Christmas Shoes'


It sounds so much like him when this song is played on the radio. I also could picture in my mind Elton John singing this song on stage or in a music video. But i found out it was by a band called "New Song". Just something interesting i thought i would share with ya.

Elton is gay and Jewish, do you really think he'd sing a conservative Christian song?

I love that song. It makes me cry every time.

Hmmm, the vocalist does not have an English inflection and has a deeper voice with what sounds like a country inflection. Billy Goodwin vocalist for Newsong.

No, Elton John has talent.

Elton John has talent.

Have you heard his Diana tribute? Makes the Christmas-bloody-Shoes sound like it was written by Wordsworth.

No, I can't imagine Elton John doing this song. Elton's take on the theme would be very dismal and the meaningless of life in the greater scheme of things, like dead leaves falling into a black river on a dismal night and drifting away.
