Answer
Hi Mariana,

   I'm well, thanks for asking. Hope the same for you. The best thing about Elton?. Well, there's a few. His heart. He has a gigantic heart, with all of his work and activism for AIDS, as well as his nurturing new talents. Plus, just for being the survivor that he is. After 36 years as a recording artist, highs and lows, pain and happiness, he is still here and as successful and popular as ever. He is an aritst of which few others can measure up to. What would I change?. Nothing too fancy. Maybe doing a little more up tempo rock numbers on future new releases, since he hasn't done much of that on newer material give or take a song or two. Lol. Thanks for writing!.
