Elton John's music video for his hit single "Blue Eyes" is a typical quiet solo performance of the song by the artist. Here, Mr. John plays the piano in a special place
with a great view of the ocean. Directed by video editor Stephen Priest, making his directorial debut, the clip doesn't need much to show some greatness and all the attention
needed for us is to observe Elton playing or his outfit with that white cowboy hat, the ocean behind him and at times a bird can be seen flying around; the main idea to be sold
is the song, one of his most beautiful compositions. We stay there because of the sound playing rather than the images shown. It's cool and all, but the artist has plenty of other
greater things to show, both visually and sonorous. Still gets a thumbs up. 7/10.
