Vienna (Billy Joel cover)

after listening to a couple other versions of this song on youtube I feel I should make the following disclaimer: I did *not* try to reproduce the actual instrumental. I improvised over the chords for the verse.

[@davidhelmut26]

i can't believe it took me 14 years to discover the best vienna cover on youtube...

[@johndalton3180]

Right? I hope this kid (with whom I share a last name) still looks at his KZbin comments and sees that people love this cover. It may be somewhat technically imperfect, but no matter. What makes it great is the spirit with which he plays and sings. He's putting his heart into it with his youthful exuberance. And, he's physically beautiful as well.

[@idunno72]

You sir, have without a doubt, uploaded the greatest cover of Vienna on youtube. Respect, my friend!

[@sapphire6302]

I can't believe this is 14 years ago.

[@kizzysfr]

will you marry me? this is just my favorite song - I even have "Vienna waits for you" tattooed - and you covered it amazingly! kisses from Brazil! :)

[@sammitchell8848]

bro its my fave too. such a good song!

[@Carolynrtomecek]

This is the best cover of "Vienna" I have ever heard. Bravo.

[@RScholar]

... Speechless. Please, either teach me or marry me!

[@awilderbj]

I usually hate covers but this is amazing and beautiful in every sense of the word. I think Billy would even enjoy listening to this. Props

[@gymmerz]

My gosh. I haven't heard many good covers of this. You did a marvellous job and it touched me. Thanks for the music.

[@PiNkLoLiPoPs]

This was beautiful. Your notes and harmony collided seamlessly and just beautifully. Thanks for making me smile. :)

[@767900]

Outstanding. I have a new favorite amateur cover of "Vienna". Only one trick you missed: Stretch the final vowel of "Vienna" just a bit like you are imagining its wonder before moving on to "waits". You made it yours, though. Good job.

[@rodrigoaugusto1352]

Congratulations on this incredible, exciting cover. Hugs from Brazil!

[@JaYSpRE2007]

Your voice, I can't get over it... Please don't stop playing and singing. That's one hell of a voice. I'm seriously reallly impressed on this cover.

[@LifelsGood]

Wow. Its safe to say your version leaves billy joel in the dust. Fantastic.

[@awilderbj]

Wow...This was amazing, and usually I don't like Billy covers, but this was fantastic. I like how you added your own little touch to it, too. Added a little swing feel. Very nice job.

[@ToxicSweetners]

Holy crap man, I wasn't expecting your voice to be that amazing. Thanks for posting!

[@BirdPhobia]

When you started singing I instantly thought it was epic. 5 stars.

[@48candycane]

[@Djcraig95]

Dude, you kicked that songs ass!!! Other than Billy, I've never heard that song done so well.....You rock!!!!

[@xsnoopylove422x]

I've never seen a better cover. you are incredible. in any case, you can read the hundreds of other comments people left you to see that I'm not the only one who thinks so

[@tothemoon1999]

Hallo from 2021 viewer :) amazing cover ❤

[@unbreakable_lindi_schmidt]

Holy christ. This is the best Vienna cover I've ever heard. Amazing, love the unique, jammy arrangement Well done sir!

[@kathleenreally]

You are truly amazing! Listening to your music makes me so happy.

[@michellepiano]

I rarely subcribe to people, but when I heard this I did immediately! :] This is amazing in so many ways.

[@peterflagerty1468]

Man that was fantastic. I like what did with the solo. You blew my hair back haha. I felt like you got lazy with the stabs right before you get back into the intro, but the singing and piano variations more than made up for it. Good work!

[@stemla61]

Holy amazing! You're majorly talented, this is the best piano cover that I've ever watched on KZbin. Thanks for recording this :)

[@gibran800]

[@ohhyea09]

nice... very sweet voice... heartfelt performance too!

[@Createdtosing06]

wow your voice is incredible. great rendition of this song.

[@LRilea]

I've always loved this song, it means more now that I know someone who IS that 'crazy child'. I was hoping to find a really good cover. Any lounge pianist can do a perfect cover, you spun it a little to your own style but maintained the integrity of the song, & your voice adds something interesting. Also, no denying, you're pretty da** cute. ;) *applause* =P

[@oarman3]

ridonkulous mate, absolutely phenomenal

[@targetthehit6103]

*Just watching covers from 11 years ago* Great job! I want to see what you can do now!

[@nacgames]

that's a really impressive cover job i tried doing this song before, but my voice just isn't high enough to comfortably hit the higher notes, but you did a great job making it seem natural and your own. props man

[@Zugisonfire]

This is so goooooood!! You have a lovely voice.

[@melonkellys]

I've been looking for the sheet music to this song!... that's when I discovered this. You do this song so beautifully I'm jealous. lol Thanks for the inspiration! Keep it up! ;)

[@wrogirl]

you;re amazing. Love this song and love your voice. Good choice

[@austinsher]

if billy were to get sick. you would be the perfect replacement. sick man. great voice

[@bratt136]

amazing voice!!!!!! amazing amazing!!!!!!!

[@Floorispurple]

Oh. My. Goodness. This is fantastic.

[@ciscoman95]

I remember when this first came out in 07'! Watching it in 2016 almost 10 years later :)

[@JosephBayot]

[@aprilla101]
