"Electricity" a été, dès mars 2005, la première chanson à être dévoilée pour la comédie musicale inspirée du film du même nom, "Billy Elliott", dont Elton John a signé toutes les mélodies. Lee Hall a écrit les lyrics.
Cette chanson est simplement d'une pure beauté, comme l'est le clip. Elle a été numéro 1 en Angleterre durant trois semaines, en juin 2005, ce qui a cloué le bec de nombreux critiques qui pensaient Elton John enterré, ne pouvant d'après eux plus composer de succès !
La comédie musicale "Billy Elliott" fut un énorme carton à Londres durant plus d'un an et demi. Il est question qu'elle apparaisse à Broadway en 2008... croisons les doigts !

"Electricity" was, since March 2005, the first new song to be unveiled for the forthcoming musical "Billy Elliott" inspired by the eponym film. And Elton did write all the melodies of the musical, Lee Hall did write the lyrics.
That song is simply beautiful, as is the video too. It was number 1 in Great Britain, during three weeks, which was good for the critics who said that Elton wasn't able to write hit songs anymore !
The musical "Billy Elliott" was a huge success in London during more than one year and a half. It's in the words that the show will be shown in Broadway in 2008... let's keep our fingers crossed !
