Britney Spears Thanks Elton John For 'Hold Me Closer'

Graeme O'Neil takes a look at one part of Britney Spears' 22-minute YouTube audio note where she shows her gratitude for Elton John reaching out to her to record "Hold Me Closer".

Thank God, because she really needs a break from her family especially telling her kids bad things about her, that the kids don't want to be bothered with her and she loves those kids. Thank you Mr. ELTON JOHN for being there for her.

I just listened to it. She needs to be praised for the STRENGTH she expressed all these 15 years!

Wow. That really touched you mister. I hope you’re doing ok. Big hugs. 🤗

I'm so heart broken for Queen Britney!!! She is an amazing human being that has been through so much but still assuring the rest of us weirdos we are not alone 💜 💖

I think you're the best at what you do, Graeme. Nobody can tell stories about others' lives with the same amount of passion and empathy that you do, whilst also making your videos entertaining and fun. I haven't watched ET since you left, but I'm so glad you carried on on here.

Love how emotional you got at the end there, Graeme. Got choked up too listening to all 22 minutes of her audio. I'm sure we're all collectively hurting for Britney and we all want the best for her. This new chapter in music is only the beginning!

[charlottelaw]

Yes my Britney is back! More confident and smiling! You deserves to be happy after all you've been through. ❤

So happy for Britney and where she is on her journey 🎉❤️🌟

I can’t listen to this beautiful masterpiece of a brilliant song without crying…yet. It’s been a couple of day’s. Maybe sometime soon I can. But for now I just can’t. I’m so emotional over this. Britney needed this. In the music video the rocket makes me think of her rising and rising and rising..up up up..💕 🚀 I love hearing her sweet voice singing to this. It’s just beautiful. I love you Britney Jean Spears!! 💕🚀💕🚀💕🚀💕♥️

I love Britney so much! Thanks for keeping all of us updated

Awe that is so nice to see others in the entertainment industry emotionally impacted by the misfortunes of their peers.. and make an effort to lift them up. Both with Elton and this entertainment journalist. It is emotional... at times we didn’t know better than to judge Britney’s situation from the outside looking in. The people trying to manipulate her were also manipulating us. We can only forgive ourselves and do better in the future. It really is a same how many people rooted for Brit’s downfall due to their own insecurities.. it’s was neither their fault nor hers.. thank you God today is a brighter day ☀️🌈

I love you Britney and I am sorry that your family made you suffer for so long. You didn't deserve that. You are a beautiful, sweet and talented woman. ❤

I balled my eyes out when I first heard the audio 2 months ago. Britney is so special to me. She is such an inspiration. And it breaks my heart all the negative hate she is STILL getting.

[LIVEFIREANDREA]

Your such a gifted and personal celebrity anchor! I appreciate your videos and your heart!
