  • I'm glad she covered this amazing song by Billy Joel to get it out there more; and although I love her voice I have to say she doesn't even come close to Billy's power. Beyonce's version is just ok. Billy Joel's original blows me away every time!!!

  • is this dedicated to her father?

  • 33 people arent honest.

    

  • Where are the credits to Billy Joel?!

    Beyonce is not the original singer of this song...

  • @ZakkVanBurace Makes me mad.

  • love this song.

  • does anyone know the chords of the verse the key is d!!!

  • Yes, listen to the original by Billy Joel, preferable some newer concert version. I think his voice has developed while he has gotten older. He has other fantastic songs, too. Check 'em out!

  • Not a credit to Billy Joel?

  • wow

    

  • Shame.Yes lyrics the same-others non professional voice,hard breather.She is not Dolly Parton

  • IDC WHO SANG DIS SONG FIRST! SHE DID GOOD....<3

  • I was expecting a crappy cover but... its not bad, to be honest.

  • Crappy cover

  • cry me a river shes aloud too cover whatever the fuck she wants too cover.

  • RANT ALERT:

    Seriously?!? Beyonce shouldn't even be ALLOWED to make a cover of a beautifully written, amazing song sung by the magnificently talented Mr. Billy Joel. Well, I guess I should just be glad that at least she recognizes the huge mass of raw talent he possesses. Still, I can't believe she had the nerve to butcher such a great song.

  • @ninjacoralinekitty She has every right to sing whatever song she likes. She covers songs she loves by musicians she respects (Beautiful Ones - Prince, Proud Mary - Tina Turner, One more try - George Michael, Sweet Love - Anita Baker, Amazing - Stevie Wonder, At Last - Etta James, etc, etc, etc). She just happens to have more classic, almost eclectic, taste than most of her peers...she should be respected for her appreciation of the greats if anything.

  • @Xhaterlover I'm really sorry about what I said. It was the middle of the night, and I wasn't thinking, I was just really pissed off about this. I'm really and truly sorry if I offended anyone, and I hope you can forgive me.

  • @ninjacoralinekitty lol I'm not offended. I just didn't understand the animosity.

  • I have to admit, I clicked on this song so I could complain about a cover being butchered, But I am totally impressed with it. Beyonce did this awesome

  • @ftw924 Have to admit the same thing. Because I admire Billy Joel so much as an artist and writer, and feel for the most part the exact opposite about Beyonce, I was geared up to shot it down. But I actually didn't upchuck listening to this.

  • It's nice to hear B sing a song with a melody. Most of her songs are very choppy. This is a good way for her to stretch her talent. Good job.

  • Her songs are never choppy, but this is a good song

  • Alright I love this song :)

  • original sang by Billy Joel, dosent matter who sings the song..the meaning of the words are sooo true....the 21 disliked ppl are so fake in thier lives...lol..

  • original sang by Billy Joel, dosent matter who sings the song..the meaning of the words are sooo true....

  • I love her. Everyone can relate to her songs

  • @MsUniquestarr This is actually not HER song, it's Billy Joel's... This is just a cover. Now, if you want to see someone who's lyrics you can relate to, listen to the original and some of his other songs. He is a true poet, and has beautiful lyrics.

  • Such a True Songg!! :)

  • Guud song

  • With Beyoncé, Its hard to draw the line between good singing and actual feeling.But i love it anyway

  • @Primadonnalea I Found That Kinda Funny Because I Was Thinking It And Then I Looked Up And You Had Wrote It

  • i really don't know what to say but, it makes me remember all the other times i have ever been used and lied to.

  • I'm a male though, like this version very much and also passionate with

    listening to Billy's original songs as well.

  • Love this song :)

  • Comment removed

  • oh my gosh....she sounds like a "tween" singing this because her tone and timbre falls into that age bracket. she's not up to par for singing this song....B, just stick to the "cutsey" stuff..., your voice might grow into more mature songs..might.

  • @BocaChicaGirl I'm sure your opinion means a lot to Beyonce'.............

  • @BocaChicaGirl Do you even have a voice, to know so much about them? Why don't you go judge your mom's moaning's timbre?

  • @mrpostman476 uuh, yes, I do actually have a voice and I do know about timbre and tone. I sing tons of jingles for commercials for products YOU use, mrpostman. So, I DO know what I am talking about. I don't knock Beyonce, I do like her attitude, but she should be aware that some tunes shouldn't be touched and should stay "as is". and my mom was a gospel singer and she WAS very respected. Now, sit boy.

  • i like this song alot its so touching

  • ;)

    

  • seriously it's awesome, though she's kinda missing tune.

  • billy joel sings this with more passion

    sorry beyonce and her fans...

  • @litojonny Go listen to his version then. Problem solved.

  • @litojonny whose song is this?

  • @Mfaithwomen190989 Billy Joel. I like his version better, just sayin.

  • never new this song exsisted till now

  • here's another singer hu sang this song beautifully, enjoy! =)

    angela aki - honesty

  • A completely uninspired cover of an amazing song. If anything it feels like a watered down version of Billy Joel's masterpiece.

  • @GiraffeColin Than don't listen to it. Problem solved.

  • @NewTech101

    Excuse me for having an opinion.

  • @GiraffeColin you're excused.

  • ATTENTION ALL BEYONCE FANS

    On 4th September we will all watch "Single Ladies" in honor of her 30th birthday. Let's give her the best birthday present ever: The highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give her what she deserves and what Justin Bieber, and etc.. does not deserve to have!

    Copy and paste to all of Beyoncé's videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly

    THUMBS THIS UP SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE

    LET'S GET THIS NOTICED DO IT FOR BEYONCE

  • @Kaiuchka- I think it sounds like crap. Honestly I hate when other "musicians" cover songs that are too good for them.

  • @chotovec82 you just have a maserable life. i mean wtf are your the one she covered ? i didn't thought so

  • @chotovec82 I hate it when cunts like you click on beyonce covers to rant about how bad they are.

  • @chotovec82 Clearly they're trying something new. They're not all perfect but she has guts to try. Asshole

  • best song eva

    

  •  I used to listen Billy Joel's version. This version makes me like it even more. Beyonce is very good in this song.

  • wat a beautiful song..........

  • @SlimShadyLPx yep music has no limits and no generation

  • Yes it's billy joels song. She didn't do bad with vocals but she added a lot of crap to the melody.

  • @chotovec82 I like it.

  • My dad used to always sing Billy Joel's version to me and my siblings every night before we slept.. brings back so much memories :)

    <3

  • @foxbobofever. Lol x

  • @slayer3to10 sunshinee has a point. Even though she sings it well let the youngsters here the original. It is so much better than this version and thanks to beyonce they get the chance to listen to it.

  • @BLYFEEEEEE

    Youngsters?!?! how patronising is that?

  • Love this version.. mayby becorse I'm a woman who's been lied to once too much

  • do i lie to you???

  • can anyone do this instrumental to this song? i really need it

  • love this song. honesty :)

  • seriously, get off of here and listen to the original. no cover can ever compete with the original.

  • @21sunshinee

    Um...I don't really like Billy Joel's version.

    Also, chill the fuck out. Now there's a ton of people who have never heard of Billy Joel who now about this song.

    She's not trying to do better than the original. She's not insulting anyone, so don't insult her.

  • ..i agree more than 100% to dis songs meaning...this song is so true.luv iht!!

  • so true...! <3 honesty is such a LONELY WORD..") EVERY 1 is soooo UNTRUE..LOLX

  • i really like both tbh. it's good to have a female singing this song.

  • Not a bad cover at all, people need to get off their high horse

  • Billy Joel's is definitely better but I can't deny that Beyonce did a great job. She made it her own but it kept the passion of the original.

  • uhh lol whos billy joel? ha ha lol

  • When was music a competition? They are both world-class musicians, and both sound fine.

  • Billy Joel!! way better then this.Sorry but no matter how hot she'll never touch hes passion when singing this song.Beyonce do not transmite the same emotions has Billy Joel.

  • @adrianaveliz well prbably not for you but, over 100,000 more fans says different!!
