This has so much Judy Garland energy that I'm just reminded that this is why we still love Judy so much... she was an entertainer for the ages

Not only her energy, but her vocal cadence

Usually I'm sceptical whenever somebody dares to try Judy Garland's style, but Stella did a fantastic job, really! You can tell that Judy's been a big inspiration for her, she sounds so much like her :)

Brilliant version, wonderful arrangement and fabulous singer. It’s amazing how great songs are still great no matter what style they’re sung in.

It's amazing how great styles are still great no matter what songs they are applied to.

That this song works so well in this style points to just how traditional Billy Joel’s songwriting is. I mean that as a compliment-his music is in the great tradition of American songwriting, as much Harold Arlen and rock ’n’ roll.

The color of her voice and vintage accent is pleasing to my ears.

Stella is an absolute QUEEN and collabs with PMJ is exactly what my soul needs!

What a great tempo! One of the wonderful things about PMJ is the amazing dynamics they achieve when playing as an ensemble… the ability to hold back and soften things up a little so that when the time comes to punch it up, we really feel it. Stella Katherine Cole has the ideal voice for this. A full-range contralto with that unique head-tone delivery that can peel back the decades allowing us to escape into a more innocent time. Plus, her performance is simply joyful! If you ever need reason to see these folks in person, this should be all it takes. Another brilliant artistic achievement from the masters of time!

Wow! The reharmonization from 2:06 to 2:12 is the icing on the cake of an already fantastic arrangement. The performance is perfect!

They also did something similar in the closeout chorus line starting @2:30. Changing up the key and chord progressions underneath the same melody has always been a staple of many a jazz remake throughout history, they did a phenomenal job with this.

Any PostmodernJukebox cover graced with presence and beauty of Stella Katherine Cole and her smile is an immediate like and yes from me

YESSS the most fun arrangement of all time!!! I’m obsessed !! Come see me with PMJ on tour in Australia and New Zealand this month ❤️❤️ XOXO

Congrats to our Stella by Starlight! 💫

I hope that made Billy Joel smile as much as it made me smile.

Stella’s hat and dress are fabulous. It’s the little things like that that truly make a performance

Tambourine guy is back! First watch I didn't noticed him, and saw his name in the credits. So I had to rewatch. Not even barely a second, but that big smile wil make anyones day.

She really takes us back to the era so well, I love her tone

STELLA COLE!!!! BABY SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!! SO PROUD, BEAUTIFUL RENDITION!!

50 more covers with Stella please

Usually I at least want to glance at the other performers during their performance but I just can't stop staring at Stella. She's entertainment defined.

You had me from the first few notes but then you added an incredible singer and I am completely blown away! ❤

Wooooow the Judy Garland is palpable. Amazing performance

Stella with PMJ is the most obvious match made in heaven

I cannot stop smiling every time I see/hear Stella sing! The lady IS an endorphin rush!!!

Stella and the band killed this rendition!! I hope Billy Joel approves this! Music 🎶 🎵 is such a cure tor a crappy day..

This cover is one of PMJ's Best Ever!!! And Stella knocked this version - Out Of The Park!!!

Yes, please do more classic songs!

So refreshing to hear a rich vocal in todays musical world❣️

I really love this singer! And I love her dream to keep the Great American Songbook alive!

Pmj never disappoints, it is that simple and that good

I have never heard the words "time" and "mind" sound so beautiful than in this rendition. So Lennon Sistersish! Such a dish!

Love this version. Another PMJ classic!

I'm so Happy that you did this with Stella.. i'm following her and she's so talented and charming!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FABULOUS!

uptown girl, you know I can't afford to buy her pearls. but maybe someday when my ship comes.......(3... 2... 1...) IIIIIN!!!! SHE'LL UNDERSTANDS THE KIND OF GUY I'VE BEEN, AND THEN I WIN. I love it!

My favourite Billy Joel song, and now in this PMJ version is simply perfect... Thank you from Brazil! 🎶

Thank you PMJ for sharing This amazing version Of Uptown Girl hello Stella Peace and love and greetings From New York

Always great to see takes on songs older than a year or two, they’re usually pretty darn good. Singer nails the style for sure!

Amazing voice, and the music was superb. Just brilliant.

What a fun version…. Pure joy and wonder! Thank You!

This rendition is actually phenomenal. I just wish 1:10 had background singers

Yeah, this is flawless and truly inspiring. Brilliant!

Stella is my classic uptown girl. Just so talented.

Stella has such an amazing voice! She freaking brought it with this rendition.

Great voice. Band was rockin it. Adam driving it hard on the bass. Outstanding.

I followed her tiktok immediately after the first video i saw of hers. Her voice is so you're unique and pleasant.

This came across my google feed. Many thanks to Google. Much enjoyed this.

Wow, this lifts my mood and brings me such joy! Thank you!

WOW! Very much like Judy Garland! Love what you guys do!

This is so good that for me 3 mins is never enough lol.

Glad to see Judy Garland in the title! This is so fun

Always happy to see a new PMJ video drop, and this one does not disappoint! Not that they ever do.

Stella-r Performance!

Wow, the race for three million views is on! 🤩

Christie Brinkley approves.

Is this what they call "a match made in heaven"? She fitted perfecty into the show. Congrats!

Thanks to youtube and PMJ it's a pleasure to get to see and hear so many incredible talents across the world!

the music is so classic but what can i say "WOW" I'm impressed 👍👍👍👍 can never be faded this type of genre

I love how this still works for the time period it would have been in (in Judy’s earlier singing days)

Stella always crushes

Wonderful. One of the best 80's songs that most people have forgotten about. This is a fair tribute to Billy Joel.

See you front and centre in Brisbane in a couple of weeks!

She sings like it's effortless. It's stunning.

Amazing performance!

The perfect pair, Stella Katherine Cole and PMJ❤

The horns are great! Lovely version!

Another masterpiece has just been added to our world 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Jazz vibes 😀

I always wonder how the original artists would react to these covers. I think Mr. Joel would like this, though. It's amazing. Everything you folks of PMJ do, you knock it out of the park!

So classy!!! I absolutely love it!!! So much talent!!!

So excited to see Stella on PMJ! She was made for this. ❤

Love these oldies

What an awesome interpretation!.. a classy vibe.. luxuriously done.. by the power of a woman👏😀

Holy cow! Sooo incredible!

This was very refreshing on a warm day like today. Thank you!

oh my glob this voice is so smoooooth

I love it! Stella sounds great!

One of my favorite songs 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Interesting to have this in the 2020s - an 80s song done in the style of 60s Four Seasons songs and now in the style of the 1940s. Pretty elaborate. Sounds great!

So good! Amazing job, keep it up! Loved the appearance by tambourine guy at the end.

wow - amazing,beautiful

Adam Kubota can really swing that walking bass -> makes for a cool jazz version

I have goosebumps

J'adore Billy Joël et votre version est sublime Bravo pour ce remix génial

STELLA!

Thank you for this amazing gift for my playlist!🥰🙏

this is absolutely brilliant and her characterization of the song is spectacular!

Cool Peace Love Nice PMJ and The Pearls Nice

Outstanding all the way around! Wonderful Stella, great horns, awesome arrangement, super!

This is the second time I've watched this and I just noticed the cheeky little cameo during the fade-out...good to see he's still smiling and loving life 😂

Absolutely amazing!

Absolutely channeling Judy, I love it!

YES BEEN WAITING FOR BILLY JOEL PLEASE DO MORE OF HIS SONGS

Another gem Scott and Stella🎉🎉🎉
