"Longest time" is friggin acapella, and actually good. He's one of those GOATs.....

It's called "versatility" and what is sorely lacking today in most music.

Scenes From An Italian Restaurant, and Longest Time

Billy is not only versatile, he's also a true poet and storyteller while also being a great musician. If he wrote a full on opera, my reaction would be "of course he did."

Just the Way you are~ The Stranger~Anthony's Song~Always a Woman. Billy Joel is THE piano man !

Wait ‘til you hear Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind”! With your family being from NYC, you’ll relate and enjoy.

Billy Joel - Pressure - Moving Out - My Life - Only the Good Die Young - Just the Way You Are

That blond in the background with the baby is Christy Brinkley, his wife with their baby Alexa. And he has sold out Madison Square Garden 100 times.

Most keep forgetting "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" which will give you yet another side to Billy. Peace, Love!!

Billy is doing his 100th concert at Madison Square Gardens tonight, which is what my wife is watching in the living room right now. I believe he's done a concert there once a month for over ten years consecutively, and every show sold out.

He wasn't "acting"...he was just being Billy.

FYI, Billy used to get bullied when he was a kid because of his size, and he decided to do something about it and became amateur Golden Gloves boxer. Also, he didn't want to take piano lessons (another reason why he was bullied), but his Mother pushed him to do it (and I'll be he is so thankful that she did - and so is the rest of the world).

Yes that was Christy and their daughter. She was in several of his videos including Uptown Girl!!!!

If you want to see him cover other genres I recommend "Longest Time" which is a acapella song, "Still Rock n Roll to Me" which is a rockabilly song, "Big Man on Mulberry Street" which is a blues rock song, and "Baby Grand" which is a blues song. I also recommend "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" which are three songs which weren't so he combined them into one song made of vignettes with the framing device of being set at an Italian restaurant.

Every Billy Joel album is different from every other one. But Billy Joel always sounds like Billy Joel. For another twist, see the official video for River Of Dreams.

Don is correct, that was Christy Brinkley his wife and she had their child in her arms.

Billy is a chameleon! So many songs in different styles. Amazing songwriter, pianist, singer, performer crossing so many genres!

Not movies, this is what I call Real Music videos, first three years of MTV played all these great videos....I miss it.

FYI - Billy Joel does the voice of Dodger in Disneys Oliver & Company.. he plays the piano.. he sings.. he wears sunglasses.. exactly what Billy Joel as a dog would be..

Longest Time is another great one. He also has some great love songs like just the way you are!!!

One of my favorite Billy Joel songs!

No need to be an exceptional person, being the real you is all you need.

Yes! More Billy Joel! We Didn't Start The Fire Still Rock N Roll To Me Honesty And Don... [giving Don The Mom Look 🤨]

Goodnight Saigon (official video ) will blow you away. It effects me now as it did when I first heard it in 1982.

"Innocent Man" is a MUST!

New York loves their Billy Joel !

The River of Dreams is another whole vibe. He is an incredible song writer. He once said on one of the late night talk shows that has never considered himself a real vocalist. Who ever the host was laughed out loud & told him that the whole world would disagree!

Billy joel is the soundtrack to my life and years of memories with my dad who passed in 86..... Billy is a legend

You gotta go with older Billy songs “Only the Good Die Young”, “My Life”, “Big Shot”, “Say Goodbye To Hollywood” just to name a couple

Apart from his first amazing album Cold Spring Harbour, every album is a reaction to/ or tribute to a generational or genre type he loves. Genuinely one of the greatest songwriters in the Western canon. A genius!

Billy Joel is THE goat of the last 50 years. "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" is his culminate anthem. Lyrical storytelling at its finest and multiple genres of incredible music in one song! As a kid, my first concert in 1983 was to see Billy Joel with my family. Parents bought the tickets and as a teenager I expected it to be LAME. It was anything but and to this day he is my favorite artist. Consider reacting to "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant." You won't be disappointed. At his concerts he can stop mid-song and the entire arena will sing it from start to finish 😊

Yes! More billy joel! 😊💜💜

More Billy! lol Hands down, the greatest concert I have been to in my life. Billy Joel

Being a Gen X, I had to listen to him on the radio everyday on the radio! 👍🤙🇺🇸❤️

One word for Billy Joel..timeless. You may be right is a banger.Peace out ✌️☮️

Its still rock and roll to me by him is yet another tipe off vibe.

BJ and elton john together was my first concert at age 16.

Another great reaction from the FUQ Boyz! You can't go wrong with Billy Joel, and you never know what genre you're gonna get. Please react to The Stranger.

Such a super talented singer song writer!!! You are also right, none of his songs sound the same !! Great review ❤

My favorite Billy Joel song. The lyrics are so good.

He is a artist

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,Innocent Man, Honesty,You May be Right,Still Rock in Roll,Big Shot,River of Dreams,Goodnight Saigon

We didn’t start the fire. I’d be back for that in New York State of mind.

Billy Joel is a fascinating song writer and an artist. Anyways check also out another classic group Fleetwood Mac. For example THE Chain live from The Dance 1997😊

Dude is a class act! He got tired of scalpers buying up all the front row seating at his concerts and selling them way overpriced so he held back the first two rows of tickets and gave them to his road crew who handed them out to the real fans in the back seats! Respect!

Also “hey girl “cover by him exposes his vocal range

Write these songs down to react to next by Billy Joel: "Only The Good Die Young", "Keeping The Faith", "Big Shot", "River Of Dreams", "Tell Her About It", "The Longest Time". Those songs there are a nice variety in different styles and is still just some of his biggest hits and best songs. Still plenty left to react to, but those 6 should be up next.

The blonde carrying the baby in this video is christy brinkley his wife and child

So much more for you to discover with Billy Joel. The greatest ever.

Your Only Human (Second Wind) is another great song.

I don't know if anyone has commented on this BUT AFTER like 1981/82 he was in a motorcycle accident that almost killed him and he had complete reconstructive surgery on his face. So a WHOOOOOOLE NUTHA LAYA is not ONLY is he versatile AND a MUSICAL GENIUS you're looking at LITERALLY the REBIRTH of the SAME TALENT 🤯

You wanna hear a song that he really brought that Do Wop sound to, “ The Longest Time”.

My band used to do “You May Be Right”, which is one of Billy’s Bangers! Also check out River of Dreams if you want to get blown away again. The song that makes me tear up every time - and those who have young children will get hit even harder - is called Lullabye. It’s devastatingly lovely.

Billy Joel is awesome. Deep deep rabbit hole.

Threemore songs of his that have even crazier range, style wise. In The Middle Of The Night, Innocent Man and Big Shot.

The Good Die Young, The Longest Time, Scenes from and Italian Restaurant.

Man i loved being a child in The 80’s 🖤

Starting with piano man Billy Joel entered into the top 10 best selling artists and he stayed in the top 10 for 20 years , amazing , he evolved with the times. Instead of revisiting just continue exploring , for example he did a song during the punk rock Era called " its still rock & roll to me " and it was also a hit. It's not as punky but shows how he responds to the times. No wonder he stayed in the top 10. BTW, he also has played Madison Square gardens way more then any other artist , almost always a sell out crowd. Billy currently ranks #7 of best selling artists. Elvis Presley did not Write his music , Billy Joel wrote 40 of which 33 were hits.

River of Dreams, For the Longest Time, Movin' Out, New York State of Mind, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Still Rock and Roll to Me are a few more songs you might like. Another deep rabbit hole to your list...lol.

So many classic Billy Joel songs. You'll have to react to his new song Turn The Lights Back On too.

My favorite Billy Joel song is "And So It Goes". Just Billy and his piano, laying his heart out on the stage, singing about the end of a love affair (it wasn't about Christy, it was about Elle McPherson, another supermodel he dated). I also love "Captain Jack", "The Entertainer", and "Lullabye" (which he wrote for his daughter).

Once again... The"Canyons of NYC" The Revirb is phenomenal

My favorite Billy Joel song! Music is the best, and the lyrics outstanding. Love the line "I won't hold back anything and I'll walk away a fool or a king." You've gotta commit to it, no matter how it turns out!

The sheer amount of flavor the ordinary citizens of New York had in the 80s is unmatched. Entirely too many people on that street are a WHOLE ASS VIBE.

So thankful to have been born in the sixties, the great music we got to enjoy in real time. This generation of people doing reaction videos have just barely scratched the surface. The rabbit hole is deep, but the musical ride is fantastic.😊 Goodnight Siagon is must listen. One of the best tributes to Vietnam veterans.

"Longest Time" is another changeup in style.

Love this reaction! Billy Joel has so much variation in his music! Growing up I noticed this really stood out with he and Elton John!

Obsessed with this song to this day. They actually did do that live so everything they’re showing in that video is what happened real time and that lady screaming out the window is timeless.

Great reaction to a genius.

HONESTY is soooooo great… and so true.😊

I forgot all about this song...lovin' the guitar...great hit!

This song came out around 1986 or so, my teen age years, always had a love and appreciation of this tune, not the first song you think of with him obviously, but a true top 3 for me of his song's!

keep doing the Billy Joel deep dive! He has SOOOO many amazing songs!! And maybe the most versatile artist ever

His style changes over time. He has so many hits that are amazing!

For some variety and more examples of this man’s talent: Travelling Prayer And So It Goes Billy The Kid Just love Billy and his music 💖

I love a bunch of Billy Joel songs for different reasons, but this one and “All About Soul” are my personal anthems - so glad you enjoyed it!

So many songs by Billy Joel to check out. The diversity of his music and the style that he incorporates is incredible. He cannot be pigeon hold into a specific category. Check out - "Pressure", "Allentown", "Laura", "Goodnight Saigon", "Big Shot", "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant", "My Life", "The Stranger", "Still Rock n Roll to Me". The catalog of music is huge

If you hear his guest channel on Sirius radio. Wow! The guy oozes musical genius from every pore of his body and every word out of his mouth.

"The Longest Time" is one of my favorite songs by him. It's from an ablum he did as a tribute to Do-wop and music from the 50's and 60's (it was the same ablum that had Uptown Girl on it.) The reason it's one of my favorites is because of how he recorded it. Every voice on it, in every range, is his. No one else sang that song on the Album.

Billy Joel is one of the greatest. I saw him in concert in the 80s, at Madison Square Garden. It was a great concert. I was a teen when I went with my sister, who was a teen as well. Memories. Lol. You should listen to Wild Cherry, Play that Funky Music. I think you would enjoy it. You should also listen to Barbara Streisand, The Way We Were, anything from Carol Kings Tapestry album... So many greats! I grew up in the 70s and 80s. We had such diverse music. We didn't particularly listen to any one type of genre. We were familiar with them all. I grew up in NYC and country was played, disco, funk, r&b, jazz, musicals, instrumental, oldies but goodies, rap, everything! We were exposed to it all.

Billy was a boxer and in a metal band before his career took off. Every album he’s made has its own vibe. And Pegasus, you nailed it with Uptown Girl. That whole album, “An Innocent Man,” was a tribute to 50’s music. Guy can do anything he wants.

The range and poetry of Billy Joel is absolutely incredible. I have seen him live twice and it was insanely amazing!

Billy Joel is a master at doing impressions - I once watched him sing a Bruce springsteen song while doing a springsteen impression, and you'd swear you were listening to Bruce. I also once went to one of his concerts where he kept interacting with his band and the audience while doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression

Did you watch his concert on NBC a few weeks ago?His 100th consecutive sellout of Madison Square Garden? Awesome-he’s still doing it.

❤ Cannot go wrong with Billy's songs. Enjoyed this reactions video. Reaction videos to Billy Joel songs people will come to you're channel.

These are the times to remember is an amazing song. A nice little reminiscing tune about how time moves so fast but memories are forever

You need to catch his concert at Madison Square Garden. He started I believe in 2014 and he just did his hundredth sold out show Madison Square Garden longest in resident performer.

He does the full 4 part harmony.In the longest time it's only him singing this song but it sounds like four people😊

I'll always love his song Vienna!!! Just beautiful!!

He`s great with so many hits! He also has a little reggae/Jamaican sound in his song River Of Dreams you should check out,it is a great song! He can do about anything!

This is one of my top 5 Billy Joel songs and I love that you are reacting to it bc I think it gets overlooked in his massive catalog. I’ve seen him live and been a fan since I was a kid in the 80’s. He is an unbelievable musician. Goodnight Saigon and his duet with Ray Charles on Baby Grand are 2 non radio songs that are so good!

I saw him during The Bridge tour, where he opened with this song. Great intro that set the tone for one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.

I adore this song!! I have watched the video probably 100 times and always notice something new that I previously missed.

Billy Joel themed his records and has said that he wrote this song around the guitar instead of the piano. He has written songs in many different styles. Billy Joel is a style of his own as he uses influences from the Everly Brothers to Ray Charles and even has put Baytooven in his writing credits.

Christie Brinkley was also in the video for "UPTOWN GIRL" guys!! Yes that was Christie you saw in THIS video holding their baby girl Alexa (who is the spitting image of her dad now and absolutely gorgeous and she is a singer too.)

So glad you guys enjoy Billy. He is a MASTER songwriter/composer. Please consider Billy Joel’s DUET w/RAY CHARLES, “BABY GRAND”. 👍🥂

i love the lyrics and the drive of this song. it barely takes a breath.

Billy Joel is a true music chameleon. You haven’t even touched upon his absolutely beautiful ballads. And so it goes is pure poetry. She’s always a woman, she’s got a way, And just the Way you are are some of the most beautiful songs you’ll ever hear

Great videos: Tell Her About It, Pressure, River of Dreams. You should also check out Goodnight Saigon - - it's so beautiful. Two other recommendations: Old Grey Whistle Test performance of Root Beer Rag (no singing/just amazing piano) and a song called A Room of Our Own which is almost hard rock/funk/blues - - really cool. Billy wrote Uptown Girl for Christie Brinkley, when they were dating. They have been divorced for a while but are still friends. There's footage from a concert he did last week where he and the audience serenaded her with Uptown Girl, and she was dancing and stuff. She still looks - - wow.

Hello, great reaction. I am watching this video of the presentation of the Award of Merit to Billy joel and the live compilation of Billy Joel's hits at the 1998 American Music Awards. It starts at 2:15 minutes of the video. Several artists and groups sing sections of his songs with reworked lyrics directed towards him. "Billy Joel's the pianoman."... You've only reacted to some of them, but you will still enjoy it. The first 2:14 minutes are the awarding of Garth Brooks for best country album of 1998.
