X Factor contestant, Joe McElderry, performed the Elton John classic, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” with George Michael.

He later said:

“In the original duet with Elton John, George does that high harmony in the last chorus which is iconic.

“So when we sang the song through in rehearsals, which was just before the show went out live, George said to me, ‘why aren’t you singing the high harmony at the end?’

“I said, ‘because it’s yours’, and he was like, ‘no, you need that. That’s the bit that’s going to showcase you’.
