celeb news Elton John to Charlie Puth: "Your music sucked in 2019. It wasn't good."

When you write a song, it's important to tell the truth. And I wasn't really doing that in 2019 and the person who kind of awoken my senses was none other than Elton John. I met him at Craig's, the restaurant.

 

He came up to me and said "How are you, hi. You know.. your music sucked in 2019. It wasn't good."

It was like a gut punch but I had been thinking that as well. I'd gone through a messy breakup and that was also going alongside it. It was kind of like a wake-up call a little bit.

More surprised to hear Elton kept up with Charlie‘s string of flop singles at all

Elton knows a thing or two about releasing shitty music 

[lovedaddy]

takes one to know one

[xfreshkidxx]

It still isnt. 

[Nikko]

Not a lot has changed

[slas]

Cheating on You is a bop tho? but yeah the other sucked lol.

[PoisonCandy]

Is that the year he released those songs like Cheating on You and I Warned Myself? If so, I agree. 

[Delirious]

Well eltones music is now trash so...

[Rider]

Isnt that the year when he released I Warned Myself aka his best song?

[AlexStexaul]

i see no lies 

[Dragonfly]

so we have Elton to blame for the long wait?  

I Warned Myself and Cheating on You were amazing

[LeMésTragique]

Would a "Sine from Above" singer lie?

[Katamari]

Not y’all dragging one of the most talented songwriters and bop machine Elton

The "gods from above" singers would never lie

Elton knew what he was talking about. Those songs in 2019 were flops for a reason after all. Seems like Mr. Puth is in a better place now.

[Tasty]

hes such a bitter queen

[Mean Trees]

Considering Elton had to work with Dua for some relevancy and it still didn't come out to plan... He needs to keep it cute in the 2020s.

[Mr. Duff]

Umm, I Warned Myself and Cheating on You are both great songs, and both very left-field for Charlie, so I applaud him being able to pull off those tracks.

[MissedTheTrain]

It's interesting how Elton is kind of a pinnacle of approval for some artists, I remember reading an interview with Brandi Carlile and she was saying how she would always get his opinion on her new releases, and By The Way, I Forgive You was the first time he loved her work.

Call me when Elton writes his own lyrics.  Mmmkay. 

[Jude]

Elton's music is much worse.

Elton doesn’t write his songs. I don’t think he’s ever written a song. He’s more of a composer.
