Billy Joel - Uptown Girl (REACTION) FIRST TIME REACTION

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Billy was married to that Supermodel, Christie Brinkley for 9 years & they have a daughter together. And Billy can sing anything, His catalog is very diverse & I'm here for it. You are a joy to watch Saeed.

Billy Joel's just amazing this is a great song.

[@JaniceMagenheimer]

Great song, he always brings his game when he sings. That was his wife, Model Christie Brinkely. He is no longer married to her but was then.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing song! Thanks for letting me know! Learning a lot! 😀

[@terri2494]

I don’t think they were married yet when this video was made, but they were seeing each other.

[@garyluchau432]

I still have vinyl records of Billy Joel. 👍 Great artist.🎉

[@ellencourtney7187]

The heyday of MTV & VH1 was great fun. We often got a creative video when a radio single was released. The video channels were mostly music then, plus weekend countdown shows. It was fun to see the artists & bands, concept videos, brief artist interviews, etc.

[@threekidzmom04]

How can you not love and smile at this movie?? She was also in Vacation with Chevy Chase ...epic memories of a fun time

[@tcanfield]

I get a kick out of the throwback style, an homage to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Reminds me of early 60’s radio, when pop music grabbed my attention as a young boy.

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 this is a super fun video- he's just great !

[@leeyaferguson9019]

❤Billy❤

[@marianclough8577]

His 'uptown girl' was his second wife, Christie Brinkley. She's in the video.

[@Nance52]

I think it’s great that you have followed all the TV shows , movies and music while growing up in Belgium. I love it also.

[@lauralackner6856]

Billy Joel always knows how to bring awesome production to his videos. I personally think of a scene from the movie Grease everytime I see this music video. I can't say it enough, love his eclectic catalog ❤ Great reaction Saeed! Tbh I thought you were American with hints of New York City in your voice the first time I watched a video from your channel. Now it makes sense, the way you learned English 👍

[@cyrilmauras4247]

Billy's ex-wife Christie also appears in his video for his song "Keeping the Faith" you should check out.

[@michaelbeckwith6177]

I always have loved this song and video but your comments make me appreciate the song even more!! If you haven't checked out "Allentown" or "she's always a woman to me" I think you might enjoy!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

I havent listened to "Allentown" yet, but i did react to "she's always a woman to me". Great song!

[@davidvsr]

The beautiful woman is Christie Brinkley, a super model , and Billy Joels second wife. Lucky guy. I remember her poster on my wall as a teen!

[@jeffkooistra264]

If I could only take one Billy Joel song along with me to a deserted island, it would be this one.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great choice!

[@teresasullivan4588]

Oh and btw… Rush has a song called Middletown Dreams from the Power Windows album. Another thought provoking track!!!❤

[@kweile4339]

Great job!

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 so at the beginning of the video when you see Billy Joel, there's a poster behind him of Christie Brinkley who is a model. she is his wife and the one that he's singing about

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for letting me know about that!

[@hopeklemann1]

@SaeedReacts. I never know if reactors already know some of the facts of different videos but since you hadn't mentioned her I thought maybe it might be a nice piece of information

[@lucabraga3471]

Great reaction, as always! You could react to Billy's "Leningard" and "Storm front", they have such incredible lyrics!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for watching and the recommendations. Definitely will be exploring many more of his songs!

[@welle5086]

❤❤❤

[@d.l.607]

And of course Christie Brinkley married Billy Joel and had a daughter Alexa Ray Joel and ended up divorcing her (m. 1985; div. 1994)

[@mattleppard1964]

How I used to love this!

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 so you didn't really ask for suggestions but...... two of my favorite songs of Billy Joel's are *Big Shot & * only the Good die young. I think you would like both of them 😁

[@SaeedReacts.]

Suggestions are always welcome, even when i forget to ask 😄. Thank you!

[@rubroken]

Saeed, I hope that you've reacted to "Piano Man" by Billy Joel, probably his most well known song

[@SaeedReacts.]

I did react to it! Incredible song!

[@kweile4339]

Most people here don't want to talk about things either. This is communication, somewhere between snail mail and zoom....

[@mongooz24]

The Seinfeld reference - it was SueEllen Mishki, the heiress to the O’Henry candy fortune! Great callout 🤣🤣. Greetings from down South (France) 😉

[@germankitty]

Just FYI, "downtown" refers to the city center, and "uptown" means the areas where the well-to-do live.

[@jmiltier-pu9dd]

BJ is so versatile with his music. A softer side you might like is And So It Goes.....

[@teresasullivan4588]

Love the reaction. Love Billy Joel! But you really need to hear Red Barchetta from RUSH!!! Such a great story!!!❤😂

[@SaeedReacts.]

That one is on my to do list. Hope to get to it when i get back!

[@miconis123]

Christie was in the background of the last Billy Joel video you did

[@YeungSze]

To go along the theme of cross class romance, an interesting "response" to "Uptpwn Girl" is Pulp's "Common People". While "Uptpwn Girl" is a joyful fantasy, "Common People" is sarcastic to the rich girl who wants to sleep with and lives like common people. Perhaps it reveals the differences of US and British perspectives on social classes.

[@dagmar.6954]

Billy Joel is such a great singer-songwriter from the 70's-90's. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. This song "Uptown Girl" is from his "An Innocent Man" album. It features his then model wife Christie Brinkley. Lots of great songs on it "Tell Her About It", "The Longest Time", "Leave A Tender Moment Alone", "Keeping The Faith", "This Night" etc. My favorite album is "The Stranger" album. All the songs are great including "Just The Way You Are", "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Only The Good Die Young", "She's Always A Woman", "Vienna" etc.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing artist! Been enjoying the songs i have discovered. Thanks for watching and the recommendations
