It’s not really been good since 2013, but the ones before that were great
I remover the ones from 7/8 years ago more than the most recent ones

[Headie]

Other stores do better ones idk why it's always the John Lewis one that people countdown towards and hype themselves over

[T*]

I only like the ones with cute animals the ones based around old people are ****e

[Cal.]

The Lily Allen one will never be beaten!

[LaLaLand]

The Man in the Moon one was so sweet <3

[Amy Jade]

The Man in the Moon one was so sweet <3

It gave me the creeps. An old man looking at kids through their bedroom window with a telescope...weird.

[Matthew.]

i really like this year’s one :love:

[Cherie]

no merchandise, unless they are going to shift pianos :worry:

It's very different and not particularly Christmassy but I like Elton and that song so...I guess it will grow on me

[Denver]

Love it although mess at them reusing a song

[Cherie]

Don't they always use an already established song?

[Denver]

Don't they always use an already established song?

Yes but they has Ellie Goulding cover the same song for them years ago

[Crimson Dynamo]

Beautiful advert :love:

(and most if not all of his fee is going to charity as you would expect from someone who has raised more than any other celeb in his lifetime)

[Strictly Jake]

At first I felt underwhelmed I was like why are we just seeing different versions of Elton John are they trying to promote the new Elton John film

Then the younger he got in the advert it started to make sense and when he was a kid at the talent show I was crying by that point and I was a mess by the time he came down the stairs. I don't know why that advert hit me emotionally it's strange how they do it but they tend to be able to pluck at my heart strings every time

[Strictly Jake]

Still think the sainsbury one is the best so far though

[Cherie]

Yes but they has Ellie Goulding cover the same song for them years ago

Oh I see what you mean

[Crimson Dynamo]

I have now decided to buy the TL a Piano for Christmas so that in 25 years she will be a very gay millionaire pop star

we will be raking it in


:dance2:

WHAT ? its total crap and no mistake - what the **** has Elton the billionaire got to do with a John Lewis Xmas or anyone else's .

You paid a fat billionaire ! piss off John Lewis and take your totally shyte ad with ya.

[Liam-]

I love it :flutter:

[Braden]

I think this year's ad is really sweet, but a few people in my local town have taken issue with it on the Facebook group because Elton John never had a good relationship with his mum like the ad depicted. Bizarre, imo.

Yes, and Elton is for life, just not for xmas.
The ad is good, but only for adults, xmas is for kids.
We need snow, Santa, toys, snowmen etc.

Agree, nothing about this makes me feel christmassy and of all the songs in the world they use Your Song for the second time in eight years.. very disappointing
