Billy Joel, a humble, hard working blue collar New Yorker who just happens to be blessed with immense talent. He's always seemed to be surprised by his success. I remember, back during his peak, and he was HUGE then, being asked by a reporter what it's like to be a superstar. He replied something like this "A superstar? I'm not a superstar. I'm just a musician. I can write songs. I can play piano. I can sing. What I am is competent at my job". How do you not love a guy like that?

You can't go wrong with Billy Joel. He's written literally dozens of songs as good (and popular) as this song.

Billy Joel is an amazing songwriter. Every one is a story.

This is why I like your channel. A real person having real and honest reactions to songs I'm familiar with, causing me to look at them differently. Keep being you, and no apologies necessary.

Listen to “Honesty” and Billy sings about the other side of relationships

premier piano player,great vocal range and outstanding song writer.. the complete package !

I love how intently you listen to lyrics and let them sink in. I think that Honesty by Billy Joel is a song you would really love.

My favorite Billy Joel song. This was my wife & my wedding song, and still gets me teary eyed no matter how many times I listen to it over the years

Mr. Pianoman is a National Treasure. You have a beautiful soul that is why you are crying.

It's a beautiful song the studio version probably even more touching! Billy Joel outstanding!

Every time this comes on the radio it reminds me of my wife. WE will be celebrating our 44th anniversary this April.

It’s ok to cry while listening to music….it just means you’re feeling it/relating to it! That’s the way it’s meant to be listened to.

She Got a way About Her, Lulliby, Honesty, It's all about Soul,She's Always a Woman to me,New York State of Mind,And So It Goes.

Another Beautiful reaction from a person with a beautiful soft heart to a song written from the heart by a sensational songwriter. Billy Joel wrote with such insights into any topic that he chose to write about, but his lovesongs are extra special.

This is the right way to do a love song. I met my wife when I was 16. That was 1977. This is our song. 44 years later still going strong. Thanks for the reaction.

Don't worry sweetheart. You're perfect.......just the way you are! 😍

You are beautiful. I just loved your reaction here. It is a great song - I hope you find that person!

You are such a sweetheart--the man in your life, whoever he may be, damned well better know just how lucky he is! Your reactions are pure joy to watch!

One of the best singer -song writers to ever come along.

I found her 37 years ago, And I love her more and more each day. So blessed !

Billy's life story is amazing. Monster artist at his time. lovely reaction.

Fabulous smile it is like the sun coming out lovely .

Vienna - Billy Joel It may be one of the greatest songs ever.

Billy Joel is magical--a genius,,,

You are a sweet, beautiful and very caring young lady! Stay that way! I enjoy all your reaction videos.

You are quickly becoming a historian of pop music. We, the boomers, will count on you to propagate love and admiration for some of the best pop music ever heard. Thanks!

Always A Woman To Me is another good one! Uptown Girl, You May Be Right, Piano Man! Just The Way You Are was always my favorite Billy Joel song.

I generally go completely bonkers when reactors pause the video, but YOU can pause as much as you wish. I just love how that little smile creeps across your face when you hear the lyrics, the look on your face as you take in the lyrics and the artists voice, and how you have to take a moment to collect yourself and then you let go this heart felt comment that just hits different. You react to these songs with your whole heart and it is so beautiful to see it. Pause as much as you wish, because I can't wait to hear what you're going to say. It brings a smile to my face every time. Your reaction to The Carpenters made me tear up.. the most beautiful reactions I've ever seen.. and the one to Roxanne made me fall off my chair laughing so hard. Thank you for your channel and your amazing heart. So glad I found it.

I absolutely love your reactions to awesome music that I grew up on. Billy Joel has a way with words! I’m 55 years old and I’m still waiting to find that one person to love me just the way I am. ❤️❤️❤️

There is always someone available to love you like that, YOU.

Love it! Billy Joel is a brilliant songwriter and singer! ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦

Billy Joel is a national treasure!

The first time I heard this song was during an episode filled with heartache on James At 16 starring Lance Kerwin in 1977. Absolutely loved this song ever since. You're so adorable, girl. Keep up the great work!

Aww! Such a sweet reaction to this beautiful song. Billy Joel is a classic!

Oh girl you need a box of tissues next to you❤ I'm the same way I cry because it's so beautiful!!!! Just be yourself and I can guarantee you will find that person that will love you Just the Way You Are❤

Yes,one hundred percent agree. I want you just the way you are! ❤ I'm still waiting.

That was a great reaction to a beutiful song. Never change who you are.

My favorite line of the entire song. I don't want clever conversation. I never want to work that hard I just want someone I can talk to💕

That's what true love is. Acceptance. No matter what. He's so damn talented.

You got my heartstrings with this one! My Dad sang this to me while I was folding laundry and he was setting up for rehearsal. He's a Drummer who raised 5 kids! Anyhow I was barely in 9th grade and High School was so changing for me. It was special because my dad rarely sings for the band and I got a personal solo as I pouted doing chores. 💪🤓❤😇🌹🎹🎵

Girl how can anyone not love you just the way you are, you are beautiful in all ways , your soul permeates, your beauty all thru the screen.

The world loves DayOneReacts just the way she is are !!!

Real and beautiful .... so was the song.

Love your reaction to this as it was my song to my beautiful wife, sadly she has left for heaven now , love her still always will . Couldn't ask for more from 41 years together. Thanks for your insight.

Reminder of the times I did karaoke and once in a while I did some Billy Joel songs. Amazing. Memories. I like the Lyrics too. Not just a softy. Glad I'm not the only one

your such a sweet young lady with a great heart! Don't lose that!!!

The LEGENDARY Mr Billy Joel

Another gem from Billy! Thanks

What a special song,something that any and everyone can relate to.Billy Joel had such a great run.He made some beautiful music that lives on and on.Thank you Billy Joel.

This was his first Gold single (much bigger than the overplayed “Piano Man”) and Grammy Record of the Year. It was part of the multi-platinum album “The Stranger”. If you want to listen to a complete classic album, listen to that one.

It is so enjoyable watching how much you enjoy listening to music…taking me back to my youth🎵🎵😀😀

He's actually playing it faster than the recorded version. God I miss 1977-78. Billy Joel was well rooted in classical and jazz music, and applied those abilities into pop and rock. Well thought out compositions and lyrics and themes. Rather than just songs and repetitious garbage. The use of saxophone on his records gives it that New York City American sounding feel. And one great recognizable voice. Billy Joel has class. Just the Way you Are by Billy Joel Won 2 Grammys record of the year and song of the year for 1978, award in 1979. For this song to have this affect on you some 43-44 year later speaks for itself and for Billy Joel.

And that was Liiiive!!!

That was a very sweet reaction there. A beautiful song by a great vocalist.

Ive loved with that level of unconditionality before. One day i hope to have it returned 😔

This song is from back in my day. It makes me wish the clock could be wound back. It is so real and raw. And yes, you are right, it is what everyone hungers for. Don't feel bad about your tears. They are a gift to us all, for they express what we all feel, whether we are 20 or 90.

Billy Joel in my opinion is one the best song writers out there.

For my money, "I don't want clever conversations... I never want to work that hard... I just want someone I can talk to..." is just too beautiful :)

My friends and I saw Billy and Elton perform in Ibrox park Glasgow June 2nd 1998. They were outstanding together

Love your reactions. Your sensitivity is very sweet and endearing. Also, young as you are, I've seen numerous reactors who don't sort out the lyrics nearly as well. And you're right. Billy Joel is excellent. One of a kind. We really don't have any singer-songwriters out there who can tell stories and write a great song in any genre whether it's there home turf or they went to someone else's to do a song. Hoping all the attention he and other of the great singer-songwriters from the past getting in reactions inspire the next generation to want to be more and do more than write sub-3 minute mediocre sound alike tunes that can tell no story with nothing special lyrics. I think they'll make a comeback thanks to the new attention the old greats are getting. Thanks for doing your part on that. Keep up the good work!

You're an extremely beautiful young woman - You don't need me to tell you that , you can just look in the mirror - but , my God , the beauty of your Soul 💖 The way you connect with the pure emotion and passion and meaning of this song 😍 You're positively breath taking - Thank You so much for sharing the unmatched and unsurpassed Beauty of Your Soul with us 💕💖💕

Billy is one of my all time favorites...seen him in concert over 30 times...love watching your reaction to this great song. Just discovered your channel tonight...subscribed after just two reactions.

Wonderful tearful reaction. I remember you doing it with How Deep is your Love, another magic song.

One of my favs of all time...

Billy Joel was a hit machine from the late 70s through the mid 80s. I saw him live in concert twice and his shows were incredible. This was one of his greatest hits.

You are right. Very powerful and profound lyrics.

Oh sweet pea, your genuine smile and honest breath down of how the lyrics hit you had me subscribe. I am at an age where reaction videos are my guilty pleasure. However I want to see thoughtful reaction. Say if you have perhaps been exposed but have not actually listened with purpose. (Some people push it) I enjoy your reactions. You are so lovely. Subscribed.

This song is so intimate and moving. Yes, it's what we all want. :) Love it. Someone should cover it.

I love how genuine you are. So nice to see.

This song is simply brilliant.

This one brings back a memory of a complicated time in my marriage. When I hear this it reminds me of how close my marriage almost ended. Still married now 44 years. But it was a close call back in the late 1990's.

In my opinion this is the greatest love song ever written. And I am really surprised that so few people have done a reaction to it. I agree with you, Angela, we all just want to be loved and accepted with our good points and bad points. We want friends or lovers with whom we can just be ourselves knowing we will be accepted as is.

the way this song hit you shows to me you're a kind soul that deserves the happiness and love that YOU bring to the world

You my sweet friend. are like me...deep and in love with love. You're a beautiful soul. Love your show.

"Piano Man" A Classic!! 😊💖

I echo Charles F comments. Yes, I have found that wonderful woman who loves me just the way I am, and I love her just as she is. You light up the room when a song rings your bell. Keep it up.

The word love has been so misinterpreted so much that we 4get what it means, Billy Joel this song I think I was about 5 but it was always on am radio in my mums car going down the coast surfing every weekend, yea I’m old 😂 but good music never dies ❤ thank you 🙏🏼🇦🇺

BJ never put out a bad song. He's the GOAT

From my hometown of Hicksville Long Island New York.

Mr Piano Man unico ad aver inciso solo gioielli musicali ... Il più completo e talentuoso performer songwriter

You are listening to Music that came from the heart lovely lady, hard to find that nowadays. Can't go wrong with the piano man.

For a few years, this was the song most popular song that brides and grooms danced to at their weddings.

I love that song too. Glad you loved it too,

Billy is a huge stitch in the fabric of American history because of his great lyrics and songs..I'm a 90's rap og and I know great music..He made a LOT of it. Thx for your attention..do more of everything we're here..1

I think I can safely say that Billy Joel is one of the great wordssmith'ls, as well as one of the finest songwriters we've had in our lifetimes.

Dear Angelic Sweet Angela___JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!

You are such an empathic beautiful soul. Your reactions hit me in the heart. Thank you

I bet you just light up a room. Love all your reactions. Great song.

Great song, with the best words.

You have the best energy!!!!! Great taste in music too! This is the best react show by far . Billy Paul version of this is my favorite .

Another wonderful reaction video. Thanks.

Very very good 'analyse' of songs , Day Reacts ! I'm now 60 , and I'm really happy to see young generation appreciate music of each era ! (Ali , France)

I've never been a huge fan of BJ, but I totally respect what he's brought to music in general. He's a legend, that's for sure. Just because I'm not into his stuff doesn't mean a thing since there are millions who are. But when I hear some of these old songs, it brings me back to a better time.

Beautiful your not silly you have lovely feelings, it shows your a good person. X

DayOne, You WILL find that one person for you. They should be lining up and fighting for a place in line. You are fine and smart. Do not worry. I've been married to the right woman for 37 years. I hope you have better luck. Set a record!

Billy Joel: Music Genius!!

You nailed it: that’s what we all want! Be accepted and loved just the way we are ♥️

One of my favorite songs by Billy Joel! Love the tears in your reaction!👍😊

One of my all time favorites

Awww, sweetie your adorable. I have no doubt that you'll find the love of your life. U have a beautiful heart
