When I wore out the casset tapes of greatest hits 1 and 2, I bought the cd's. Some of the songs were different and this was on the second version. However, "You're Only Human" was no longer in the collection.
Not bad, good piano work, high notes at end were good. You have power and decent vibrato and pitch control but you need to take more air and have it for notes at the end of longer phrases.
Great rendition!! You have a very nice voice and the piano sounds very good. I really appreciate you recorded this with a proper equipment and not with a cheap camera with a horrible mic. Just watch the attack when you sing, maybe you can make it a little smoother.
SEXYYYYYYYYY!! BUT: everyone is buying your bullish about having your performance edited with the original song, which makes you sound almost like billy Joel. Lets face it; if you sound like that, you would win American idol, or Amercas's got talent.
@sofrito34 What??? I can't understand what point you're trying to make to be honest. There wasn't much to making this recording other than recording it, EQ'ing the vocal track, adding a few effects like compressor, reverb, and ambience, and then mastering the final audio.
Wow, Jimbo ... awesome playing and TOTALLY awesome singing. It's a very difficult song to sing, but you do it like it was "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Love your vibrato. From 1:42 until 2:03, it sounds like you have "staggered breathing" (not breathing through notes without "really" taking a breath). Thanks for sharing.
oh my good! this is amazing, congratullations from Bolvia, can you make a tutorial of this song??? i would really apreciate it, i would love to play it
@CapitanCalifornia i think so to, i favorited this song probably over years ago and im still watching it today once in a while lol its my favorite cover on youtube =D
You are great. But you lagged during the song. Don't get me wrong, your a great singer. Is the voice filtered through a program? Or is this your original singing?
what Keyboard are you playing ... is it Kurzweil. ... sounds good.... Weighted keys? ... Difficult song ... when are you guys doing another one together ... I suggest something like 'Soldier of Fortune'.... classic... check out David Coverdales unplugged version ...
Kurweil, PC2X (check my channel page for description of equipment. Yes, it's weighted. However the 'sounds' you hear are a sampled "Steinway" and not the factory sounds from the Kurzweil. The Kurzweil is pretty good on stage, but for recording purposes, it's not the best piano sound... But the board plays really nice with the weighted action.
it should mean, that not ONLY you two could make a concert^^
with other musicans of course. but i (maybe i only speak for me^^) also like, that you play all the instruments and just put the sounds over each other ;)
Jimmy ! just one word .... "Wow !!" . I didn't think anyone could sing it as well as Billy Joel but you did ! Your version is emotion rich ! Actually you sang it better than Billy Joel ! How come you don't have a record deal yet ! You'd make Billy Joel proud with your version !
@febus75 Wow Febus... your words are more than I deserve. Billy is the king of his songs. I only try to respect him by singing one of his greatest... :)
Thank you so much for the comments! :) I really appreciate it.
Your choices of songs are well appreciated here in the Philippines, if you do a concert here in Manila and I'm pretty sure it would be a blockbuster, bring Bastiaan along with you.
So does that mean a group like Bon Jovi shouldn't (or can't) do concerts? Since they need to hire additional musicians for their concerts on top of the "Bon Jovi Band" members?
You should always look at what is 'possible'... not at what is 'impossible'... The only limitations one has are the ones that are self-imposed...
This is one of my favorite BJ songs! I absolutely love your cover of this song....Jimmy you are such a talent, I know in my heart that your music will bring you much success!
You have a very unique voice. I'm 16 and grew up with the music from the 60's-80's and I love and listen to that kind of music. You have that kind of voice that not many people have now a days.
Incredible!!!!
Make some more please. I would like to suggest a journey song or the song tears in heaven my eric clapton.
You have an absolutley beautiful voice. I saw your video with Baastian77 - Stairway To Heaven and i thought it was brilliant, the way you made, and both of you are musically gifted. keep it up, you deserve great things. :)
god dammit. This is the best cover I have ever heard of this song... That was sick man! Fantastic! Your voice is very familiar to Billy Joel´s. Awesome job!
Nice cover...but if you want to do something REALLY impressive, why not cover "River of Dreams." THAT song takes a LOT of range and a LOT of control to sing.
I mean, if you're doing Billy Joel, why not do it righteous?
COngratulations !!! REally Amazing. You got a great voice !!! Could you please play Too much love will kill you bye FReddie Mercury ? Mauro Guillén from Argentina. REgards
You got a lot of talent. Your version of Honesty is wonderful. Can you do Dust in the Wind? I now keep tab on all your videos. Your simply amazing. I'm gonna put your music videos on my cellphone to keep me company.
Wow Jimmy what an amazing job you did on this song. It gives me chills listening to you sing love it!! Your voice and piano planning are absolutely fabulous!! ~ ♥xoxo♥
SO much better then that other guy whose rendition you commented on... he is terrible! lol and he clogs youtube with his garbage... his voice is terrible and he tries to mask it with effects... You on the other hand have a great natural voice - great vibrato.. playing is totally solid. you're a real musician though
You have a beautiful voice and the choice of song "HONESTY" A word that people need to feel more of. Music is within, it got me through my life when I couldn't express what I was feeling. Thank you for helping feel again:)I will continue to listen to your music because I know you feel your words and that makes an excellent singer:)
Jimmy...I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to get over here and see this new video of yours... I love this song, and your performance is absolutely AMAZING. Billy Joel is one of my favorites! He would be proud to hear your version of this song. Hope all is well with you!!! 5+++++*'s
Awesome video, really. Billy Joel is one of my favorites and he'd be proud of this version. Just one question, how do you find the time to do all this and respond to all these posts :-)?
Great job man. I agree with ladyvirgil though. Maybe shorten some of the long notes, but that's being really picky, and that's what makes this song yours and not an exact duplicate of Billy Joel. Awesome job.
What a clean voice, I love it when you do long notes (though sometimes it could sound kinda cool it you'd shorten some words to make the rythm a bit different- still I loved those special moments you sang long notes). I think it's a very good cover, very sweet and well played. Also it's hard to play ans sing a long, so extra credits! You did a great job, I enjoyed it very much :)
Well done! From one singer/songwriter to another . . . nice to hear some expressive piano playing and singing! Also nice to hear that you are making some changes to the phrasing, really making the song your own!
I kind of forgot about this song. I'm not sure how, considering it's something I learned to play and sing so long ago... It's probably one of my most favorite songs to do.
Wonderful performance Jimmy. 5***** is not enough!
One thing, I clicked in the info box where it says "HIDEF VERSION HERE!!!:" and it opened a new tab leaving the original playing - so I had TWO of you singing slightly out of step.
I don't know details of how it works, but you might want to change that :)
Hey Jimmy, well wow my friend this new video is brilliant! Your voice, as always, sounds so great and your piano playing is simply out of this world! A huge 500 stars for you!! :0) Lots of Love, Tamara xx
...You really deserve to get what you want. You really work so hard at it. I commend you! I LOVE your videos, btw ... You are amazing! I marked this one as one of my very favorites.
You're really good, Jimmy. You have such a deep appreciation, understanding ... I could see you do contemporary big movie scores one day! I love your singing a lot **** You inspire me to buy additional computer/recording stuff someday soon for my videos.
I respect the fact that English isn't your first language. I know that if I had to write in Chinese I'd probably sound as foolish as you did!
I think you meant it as satirical nonsense..and Jimmy probably didn't take it the wrong way. But, please..choose words and phrases a little more carefully next time.
Hey all! If you're the States or many English speaking countries, you might be a little "WTF" about lokutube's comment...
However, for a Chinese person trying to speak English, it's common to use the word gay the way Lok does here. They don't make a big deal of gay or straight.
cool dude . you are really amazing , you got the talent just keep it up dude

You're really good, Jimmy. You have such a deep appreciation, understanding ... I could see you do contemporary big movie scores one day! I love your singing a lot **** You inspire me to buy additional computer/recording stuff someday soon for my videos.

Lok..
I respect the fact that English isn't your first language. I know that if I had to write in Chinese I'd probably sound as foolish as you did!
I think you meant it as satirical nonsense..and Jimmy probably didn't take it the wrong way. But, please..choose words and phrases a little more carefully next time.
ok?
Thank you..

Hey all! If you're the States or many English speaking countries, you might be a little "WTF" about lokutube's comment...
However, for a Chinese person trying to speak English, it's common to use the word gay the way Lok does here. They don't make a big deal of gay or straight.
