Billy Joel - Honesty REACTION/REVIEW

[@davidmaholchic6146]

He surely does not miss here what a wonderful song love you

[@John_Locke_108]

One of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Amazing vocals.

[@lindalawson7600]

He’s a precious talent.

[@wpollock1]

This album "The Stranger" is fire! He writes the lyrics and music. The whole album is full of great melodies and lyrics....one of the best albums by him IMHO.

[@otisdylan9532]

Agreed. I think that's his best album.

[@ronnix23]

You could've stopped after the word albums.

[@rogerdaly6326]

As true as that is this song is off of his 52nd Street album which was the album after The Stranger.

[@joelliebler5690]

This was from Billy’s 52nd street album which was equal to or even surpassed The Stranger album!

[@lisahaverluk4037]

He's a goat man!!! More please... anything 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@hongfang2348]

'He don't miss'...you got that right Biz. He is a top 10 singer/songwriter from the rock/pop era

[@otisdylan9532]

I recommend "New York State of Mind" and "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" for your next 2 Billy Joel songs. Both songs are absolutely essential for anyone that likes him.

[@13terapyn]

Immaculate song! Next up..."She's Always A woman". ❤‍🔥🔥

[@justkaron]

Billy Joel has it all. Top tier musician, great voice, great songwriter. His music spans decades. And he's not hard on the eyes. Not for me at least. LOL I do think he had some hard times with alcohol for a good while. I think he's a little genius myself.

[@jamishops]

I had to look twice to make sure I didn’t write your comment. Lol. You took the words out of my mouth. Billy is down to earth and so relatable. My absolute favorite entertainer.

[@thomastimlin1724]

No, he's big genius in a smaller body....

[@justkaron]

@@thomastimlin1724 truth. LOL

[@laurahatzes6964]

I love this song. I just listened to this the other day with my teenage son. He loves it. The lyrics! His voice! Great reaction Bizmatik! More please. I think you should do Big Shot next!

[@guyturbide6348]

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Another great song by Billy Joel "LIVE " is 🎵NEYORK STATES OF MINDE 🎵 You gonna adore this song Keep the good work my friend ✌️ 👍🏻 👏

[@nancywest1926]

The Angry Young Man, especially live.

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

Billy Joel owned the 70’s & 80’s ❤️🔥💪🏼

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Don’t know why it’s not mentioned more often. Guess it’s hard when it’s Billy Joel - he had so many great songs.

[@johndavidson5228]

I have to agree with you and Billy Joel about honesty being so hard to find. It's impossible to be completely honest to get through life and we all do want to make good impressions on others. Complete honesty can also get us into a lot of trouble, especially with people who are not ready to accept it. Nice reaction to this song; honestly!

[@marvinbaudoin7769]

Billy's killing it!

[@vovindequasahi]

Great song! Billy rocks!

[@glenjohnson9128]

Perfect song

[@lisamorejon9943]

Billy Joel has been my favorite since 9th grade in 1979, and he still is to this day.

[@maryhuhnke4706]

Consummate Master Story Teller.. That's Billy Joel! Gotta check out Scenes from an Italian Restaurant Definitely Piano Man are my Favorites! ❤❤

[@marlonwilson-zf8sl]

So happy you reacted to this song. It is one of my favorite BillyJoel songs that most people don't give any recognition to. Big love ❤ my brother

[@adrianfernandonoya5196]

What a great words = I DONT WANT SOME PRETTY FACE TO TELL ME PRETTY LIES ALL I WANT IS SOMEONE TO BELIEVE thanks Billy Joel. and sadly = everyone is so untrue.

[@leslieroth698]

Pressure is a great song. Saw him last summer at Notre Dame. 73yrs young and rockin a 3 hr show! 😎

[@normanrose2711]

different vocal styles, a great vocal range and powerful lyrics... Billy Joel

[@bexxgenx3165]

Billy is a true lyricists.

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

Billy Joel was SOOOOOOO good

[@joelliebler5690]

Billy singing from the heart!❤

[@jillk368]

That lighting on him by the piano; it's just so moody. I love it. Another great reaction, too!! Interesting commentary. Thanks for posting this!!

[@roccosalvino3554]

Such a beautiful song, one of my favourites

[@mjm5081]

That's how it's done ❤

[@mariaportengen2959]

A great song from a great voice. 🎶🎶🎶👍

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Billy Joel "SCENES FROM AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT" and "GOODNIGHT SAIGON" are my favorite songs of his. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MoMoMyPup10]

I mean, he does it in every verse but the genius rhyming here just astonishes me. Lines 1 and 4, 2 and 5, 3 and 6 in every verse, and in every chorus, and still can make the story make sense.! _"When I'm deep inside of me Don't be too concerned I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone But when I want sincerity Tell me, where else can I turn? 'Cause you're the one that I depend upon"_

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Billy Joel. 45 years old 🎂. 1 of the great 1970s ballads. 😃 Suggested video 📹: Billy Joel sings I Go to Extremes

[@spikebeans9563]

My favorite is You May Be Right❤❤Love this song. 😅😅Love his music.

[@danjohnson2986]

Nice

[@danm9460]

Tony Bennett once said billy Joel wrote the new generation's great American songbook

[@jasonmccluskey3623]

Preach Biz!

[@geniousatqw]

Your Music Mirrors Your Mind A song sung by Lady Liberty to the American People!

[@jackiesconiers4230]

Thanks for keeping great music alive! Great song!

[@kevinmalone2218]

Your next reaction should be "Just The Way You Are" its absolutely beautiful!

[@justkaron]

I liked your little rant you went on there. It's too true about honesty being a RARE thing.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Another good one from the "piano man". Loved it...

[@suemontague3151]

Piano 🎹 man, We didn't start the fire 🔥, Uptown girl, She's always a woman

[@DestonieSalazar]

I believe he wrote this song in response to his experience in the music Industry and how much he wished that he could just create music without all of the BS.

[@rogerdaly6326]

Most people say they want you to be honest with them until you are then they think you're an a-hole.

[@dizastro5437]

Lungs on this one.

[@etc7070]

Billy Joel really went through some Stuff to be able to write songs like this. For a good chunk of his career, he was indeed lied to, by his managers, lawyers, business associates, record producers... It really didn't help that his first wife was his manager and her brother was his lawyer, and they both stole millions upon millions of dollars from him. That being said, I hope you can check out a song called Stiletto, about a super toxic relationship that most likely reflected his situation.

[@jamishops]

I don’t think Elizabeth actually stole any money from Billy, she just got her divorce settlement. Frank, her brother, took over the manager position after Elizabeth stepped down and you are correct he stole millions, but I think the betrayal hurt Billy more than the money. A lot of those emotions came out when he wrote the River id Dreams album. Billy thought so much of him that he is Alexa Ray’s godfather. That had to have really hurt. They say great artist have to suffer. I guess Billy paid his dues.

[@etc7070]

@@jamishops you're definitely right, it was a betrayal of who he thought was family. He just seemed like a guy who couldn't say no, thinking that they knew what was best for him in terms of finances. And yet he still came out the bigger man.

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@etc7070 There is a certain irony under the circumstances that as well as this song Honesty, Billy has also written and recorded other songs called Got To Begin Again, Last Of The Big Time Spenders, Get It Right The First Time, Easy Money, A Matter Of Trust, Temptation, Code Of Silence and Shameless.

[@andysielaff2252]

You can’t hide from the truth no matter what, where or when…

[@mikemiller3069]

Your comments at the end of the song sounded more like you were describing Billy's song, "The Stranger" which is about the stranger within each of us. If you haven't listened to that one yet, it might be a good one to do next.

[@dizastro5437]

And just do your best for your fellow person.

[@sharonpeterson5415]

I was going through an abusive marriage when I found Billy Joel. A street preacher introduced me to him. I was sitting in a bar, alone. I had escaped my husband, and was hiding from him inside. He just came up and started talking to me, he must have seen the desperation in my face. Good grief. I haven't thought of that day in years.

[@sharonpeterson5415]

Everyone has things they never want to talk about. Mostly in the past.

[@jayeell1253]

this was released 3 years before I was born, but growing up through the 80s, 90s til now I remember hearing this song back home before coming to u.s. Learned about all type of music from my dad and one of my uncles - they always listened to any genre of music and I love that I experiened it

[@richardjacobs7632]

Angry Young Man is entertaining Biz!

[@riccardoangeli802]

Piano Man talento totale .... Live poi da giovane era stratosferico ....

[@leeannmcdermott8313]

“Goodnight Saigon”,”New York State of Mind” and “Scenes from an Italian restaurant”

[@andysielaff2252]

You can hide or run but it’ll catch you eventually

[@paulrt3]

If you happen to do "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant", you should do the video (Live from Long Island), where he grew up. Great performance.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Billy wrote this song as if he were Beethoven, different style, doing Moonlight Sonata, just brilliant. Yes he was a clsasically trained pianist, but where the hell did he get that singing voice? Just fabulous!! I had almost every Billy Joel Album at one time.. He was a songwriter's songwriter...the George Gershwin or Duke Ellington etc of his own era. Look those guys up if you wanna get a musical education beyond the corporate radio playlists...

[@gregoryalbanst.bernard6193]

If you are still doing reaction videos/songs, here's a suggestion, arguably one of the best love songs ever recorded, Never Never Never by (Dame) Shirley Bassey.

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

You gotta do LAURA! Best song the Beatles never wrote!

[@robertelee63]

This was from his 52nd Street album, his breakup album with his wife.

[@Beatles4Sale.]

House is Billy’s half brother. Everybody lies. 😂

[@jeffreythaw3333]

You might want to check out Rick Beato's analysis of this song on his What Makes This Song Great series on KZbin.

[@alrivers2297]

I've heard this song a million times, and yet I still got goose bumps listening to this just now. Unfortunately, honestly seems to be a dying trait nowadays. Check out his song The Stranger

[@godcandy108]

If you want another Billy Joel song that doesn't miss try Captain Jack kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaDJpZKPqMibpMU Sometimes it's way too honest...

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

next should be Captain Jack ... yes I suggested this song again! lol

[@jayeell1253]

biz in this climate - we see (and I know not only women cheat) women on videos encouraging other women trick men out of their money resousrces in the name of MODERN FAMINISM. This isn't what feminism was created for. This is why I live and keep listening to these songs and have the memories - these days are something else

[@JFinSD2]

Love this song. But can't listen to it w/o crying.

[@PeterZeeke]
