Elton John Super Bowl Commercial 2012

Pepsi, always known for its star-studded commercials, this year featured Elton John as a high-heeled king who withholds the soda from his subjects.

At least until The X Factor winner Melanie Amaro sings a crowd-pleasing rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” and takes the Pepsi for herself, banishing the king to the dungeons. He won’t be lonely in his imprisonment, though, as rapper Flavor Flav turns out to be a fellow prisoner.

What do you think of Elton John starring in this ad for Pepsi?

Are you conviced by his interpretation as a King on a throne? 

Or do you prefer him in the dungeons?
