New BJ fan
I’ve been an Elton fan for 20+ years and never gave Billy a chance because somehow i imagined him an American Elton, and why bother right?
Ever since the Rick Beato interview with Billy, i somehow got drawn to him and then hooked and been listening to him non stop for the last months, and boi i was wrong. The American style of his is exactly what i ended up liking. Elton has a more emotional discography while i find Billy to be the life of the party.
They both share similarities, like chords, song themes or styles and even song titles. But to plainly say he’s an Elton made in America was, unjustified to say the least.
I think music grows on you with time and sometimes even departs your taste, much like opera, i loved it as a kid, now i rarely play Luciano anymore. It’s a shame i became a fan now but, i hope he’s going to have many more concerts so that i can experience him at least once just like i had the luck to see Elton live.
