I saw a interview where Billy Joel said he didn't think he was a great singer,.was he kidding, he is a great singer.

Who still watches this song after new year 2024? 🎉

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

it helped Billy a lot when there were no teleprompters. he could just look at liberty and immediately knew what lyrics were coming up next.

He really gave his all in this performance. What energy. And what a voice! Incredible range and vocal power. Incredible songwriter and pianist too. He deserved every penny he earned.

I forgot how much I loved Billy Joel ❤❤❤❤.

That time I was a regular schoolgirl of the Special (as it's called) English school in the Soviet Union! Since I studied English from my childhood, I constantly listened to songs in English, to hear the real language and to learn more English words (not only the words that related to the lessons' topics about Lenin, about the capital of the Great Britain, about the political world and so on...) And the visit of Billy Joel to the USSR was a great event! And Honesty was the first song that really hooked me) So deep, so sincerely, so honestly!.. Appreciate it very much! ❤️

I'm teenager but i really love this kind of song especially to Mr. Billy Joel

Кажется я вспоминаю, то время когда по Центральному ТВ показывали Билли Джоила и он исполнял эту песню. Помню мне понравилось его искренность в исполнении, как наверное и многим телезрителям СССР.

His voice only gets better through the years. He's amazing. A Real Talent.

Wow! I cannot believe it. I was watching this program live from Vietnam in 1987. It was the Bridge program that one of the first American artists ever perform live in the USSR. We were lucky to have one of the first color television in my whole neighborhood. And this program was broadcasted to the Soviet Union embassy in Ha Noi, which was not far from my home. That was the first time I heard/saw Billy Joel and I got hooked ever since. This song was amongst my favorites, besides Piano Man, Uptown Girl, Allen Town, ... I still revisit this song once in a while now and then and to my surprise running into this very version that I saw 33 years ago. I'm still waiting for a chance to see the man perform live. Please come to LA, Mr. Billy Joel!!!!!

@@maltesers1980 I don't know that times were better then, or simpler. They were in some ways, not in others. But music was better. I think that's down to 50 years of pop music basically running its course and being exhausted. Just like Billy Joel had an incredible string of hits until about 1980, and then his music got worse and worse. He ran out of good ideas and one day, he was finished. At least he knew enough to get out of songwriting, unlike Paul McCartney. Billy Joel started to suck around the time of Tell Her About It/Uptown Girl/The Longest Time in 1983.

The drummer is like billy joel's biggest fan he is so involved

He is in fine voice in this one- maybe the best I've heard his voice sound. He reflects the influence of one of his musical inspirations, Ray Charles, but them flips from blues into angelic clarity. The long open vowel and breath control on the word honesty is epic! Chills. And to think he was playing in iron curtain Russia! Music blasts barriers.
