  • Wow, this is the best cover I have ever heard...You have an amazing voice..Well done, I will be checking out more of your work...

  • nice job friend keep the posts coming

  • Beautiful! Loved hearing you sing this - better than the one Billy Joel did! Bravo!

  • ok, uhh... I love Billy Joel, he has a one of a kind, superior voice etc. But this IS AWESOME! Great Job!!! Keep up the good work!!!

  • What a great cover! you've got a fantastic voice dude!

  • WOW, It's......WOW!!!!

  • Great Job! Good voice too! I would love to have the music! Please emailme at coryreidmiller@yahoo dot com Thanks!

  • Great Cover! You have an awesome voice

  • sounds great! 

  • Fantastic performance! That's my favorite song of Billy Joel.

    

  • You deserve to jam with Billy.. I hope someday he shall meet you..

  • I like this version a lot. You seem to put your own spin on this classic which is hard to do. Fantastic

  • i have a great deal of respect and admiration for people like you, i love the song, and i think you did a great job

  • This is my favorite Billy Joel and I have to say you did such a great job on it.

    WONDERFUL singing and playing

    It was a pleasure listening~

  • Terrific job on a great Billy Joel song!!

  • !!! Espectacular !!!! ers lo maximo !!!

  • could you send me the sheet music to that arrangement on piano? I love what you did with it and your voice is a good contrast to Joel's!

  • Altismira he cant send you the sheet music to that because he doesn't have it. He plays by ear and has a phenomenal one.

  • no he has the book

  • And no it wasn't taken from the book. Just the chords were.

  • Actually, even though I sounded this out, I transcribed it in sheet music for some people. It was a matter of replicating the "finger picking" style and applying it to the sonorities of the piano. I have the basic pattern if you want it.

  • that would be fantastic! thanks so much. can you scan it or something and send it to me here on utube?

  • what I'm having the most trouble with is the part when it goes to Am with the "home can be the Pensylvania turnpike..." I love what you do in your right hand then and in the instrumental solo afterwards. any advice?

  • great job, you've got some real talent there.

  • Great job. Seriously. You nailed the piano.

  • One of my top 5 Joel songs and you nailed it. Bob

  • awesome job on one of my favorite songs ever

  • are you young Bill?

  • Great!!

  • nice plaing.....

  • Still love it J

  • Great job. The piano is pretty accurate.

  • うまいwww

  • You're like John Denver with a piano, go for it

  • top performance

  • hey great job!

    did you ear out those notes or did you get a score?

  • Had to sound it out...

  • great work dude! well done!

  • awesome. Great voice..

  • Dude, I love Billy Joel...great taste in music and you are awesome. I wish i Could sing, and wish i'd learned to play piano, but i do play guitar pretty good

  • Well that's a strange comment mdflyhalf!

    Firstly, the song doesn't require a great range.

    Secondly Justin covers every note with no pitch problems,

    Thirdly It sounds "right" and perfect for Justin's voice

    Fourthly You're a wanker

  • Heh, thanks for the defense Firelord...

  • Classic comment lol, well done :)

  • Dude...you just dont have the range for this song.....you need to find music that better suits your style

  • Dude...you dont have a clue.

  • Still one of your best Justin!

  • Thanks... I have something very special being uploaded either today or tomorrow...

  • oh wow....hint?

  • Sort of a Steely Dan arrangement; except they didn't write it... I may have said too much...

  • You haven't said too much, not enough! I'm totally intrigued! So Steely Dan but not Steely Dan....mmmmmm

    Why not upload it now?

  • I still have to play it. It's only instrumental piano. I started transposing the Steely Dan instrumental onto paper just because I liked the piano solo of the song... then I felt, why not make an arrangement of the whole song and include the solo. It was originally a Duke Ellington tune...

  • Is it East St Louis Toodle-oo? From Pretzel Logic? Love that!

  • No hang on, that doesn't really have a piano solo....I'm in your hands J...don't keep me in suspense!

  • No actually, you nailed it.

  • Well I can't wait to hear it! Strangely, I was listening to it yesterday! Hmmm...yes there is piano now I think of it....

  • Played and sung really well Justin! Quite a mature performance. You carried the song along nicely man.

  • Okay. Its your cuz Laurie. Your voice has changed and it sounds so good. My mom wants to know what got into you to grow your hair out. Well done. Hopefully you can come down to Cincy.

  • Hey! Thanks. Yeah, the long hair was entirely my idea. It's a musicians suit. And yeah, I would love to come down; I need to get out of Connecticut.

  • I realized I just used the wrong log in name to comment you back but yeah, in case you were wondering, that was still me.

  • I love Billy Joel's music. You do him up proper Jay. Make something of yourself bud.

  • Justin - that was really great mate, I enjoyed it totally. An underplayed BJ song and you did it extremely well. Haven't listened to you for a couple of months but I think your voice just keeps improving!

    Well done; gather some other muso's and play together you'll be great!

  • Thanks... what were your requests again? I forgot which video you posted the comment on...

  • you are awesome !! I would love to see you do your version of "My Life"......

  • yeh I agree u do sound like a young Billy Joel

  • pure talent!!

  • wow you sound just like Billy when he was younger looking forward to seeing more of your covers on here!!!! :-)
