    This feels like an album designed more to move tickets for his farewell tour, even if the first 60 shows did sell out on day one. You do get some selections on Revamp where the guests assert their personalities in interesting enough ways.

    The best moments on Revamp, featuring big names from pop, rock and R&B, are those least faithful to the originals. ... Less successful are efforts of John's glam-pop heirs, like Lady Gaga, who tries and fails to match the master's rococo ebullience.

    When it’s good, Revamp is very good. When it’s bad, it’s awful. And in between there’s the requisite amount of anonymous competence.

    Taken on its own terms, Revamp is dull, but its companion album Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin--a modern country tribute that takes chances--reveals what a missed opportunity this is.

    Revamp is a mixed bag. Several of the artists here take chances with the tunes, and at times are wildly successful. ... When things are bad, however, they are bad.

Cada una de las canciones contenidas en el álbum representan grandes épocas de la música de Sir Elthon John y Bernie Taupin, pero ahora re interpretadas de una manera gozosa por quienes hacen un homenaje a una de las figuras mas importantes del mundo de la música.
    Vale totalmente darle una oportunidad, pues contienen muy buenos trabajos y colaboraciones, así como que es fácil de escuchar.
    Como puntos negativos están que no todos los invitados a participar en el disco tienen el mismo nivel, puesto que hay quienes tienen mayor presencia que otros.    … Expand

    Alessia e Florence salvaram o álbum enquanto Demi e Miley poderiam ter sido descartadas.

    Listen to the covers by Alessia Cara, Ed Sheeran, Florence + the Machine, Lady Gaga, and Queens of the Stone Age. I wasn't a big fan of the rest.
