Amazing chemistry by Elton and Kiki, and also a classic song
Rodrigo_Amaro6 April 2023
One of the most perfect duets in music history (at least in my books), "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" still stands as a classic romantic and humored song that one cannot go wrong when listening to it. The music video presents Elton John and Kiki Dee singing along, full heartledly and somewhat acting out the lyrics in some parts.

The cloathing might be awfully dated and funny to look at, but their chemistry shines brighter than the sun. The duet is performed inside a record set and even though for a concept is kinda boring to most, this actually works for them since they seem to be enjoying each others presence and that makes it all more appealing. And just to prove that this idea was well-accepted and successful, the song was a hit and marked as Elton's first duet after a streaming of successful hits, and when he decided to make another duet, he made a similar video, the one with France Gall in "Donner pour Donner", this time sung in French. That video is a little obscure and quite weird to look at but the concept was quite similar though they are seated behind a piano most of the time - but the song is equally romantic and awesome to hear it.

It's hard not to melt with the effect, the chords, words and sounds given to "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", and for a pre-MTV video this one is pure awesomeness. 10/10.
