This performance is so damn amazing and flawless. His whistle gives me chills, he is playing the piano like a master, he has a legendary voice & the song lyrics is beautiful

@taquie: Check out "Root Beer Bag" from Streetlife Serenade. That is some sweet stuff there.

My favorite albums are The Stranger and 52nd Street.

Your a nice person. I had to keep my opinion on Coolio too myself. Didn't have anything positive to say on the matter.

@heatblaze123: Lol do you really think that is comparable to what Billy Joel did in that performance? I noticed Coolio's voice was a bit shaky & he did some lines wrong. Billy Joel on the other hand proved his amazing talent of doing multiple instruments at the same time and making it sound great. His voice is perfect there too

@naamah_obyzouth: Haha thanks, i treat people how i want to be treated (As long as they don't start to mess with me and get on my mind)

I don't think Coolio has the natural talent that Billy Joel has, but I still do like some of his songs because they are classic to me

Nah, not comparable. Coolio's was way better. I'm just joking :P.

"he did some lines wrong."

Aside from mixing up 10 with 11, that's the only one.

"Billy Joel on the other hand proved his amazing talent of doing multiple instruments"

Playing one instrument doesn't count as playing multiple instruments. Although I will give credit where credits due since it's hard to sing and play a complicated instrument like the piano.

"a bit shaky"

Everyone sounds a bit shaky on live, even mr Joel himself..

Aw why? =(

Because Lady Gaga is one of the banes of my existence musically speaking, I despise her music and find it abdominal. I almost dislike it as much as I hate Taylor Swifts, which is on a whole other level of putrescence all together.

We do indeed have extremely different tastes in music. Because I do indeed detest two of your favorite performers. You can keep Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift all to yourself, and I'll take Madonna and Katy Perry instead. :)

Eh heh heh well at least you like Katy Perry, she's one of my favorites too. =) And Madonna? I haven't really listened to her music but she's known as the queen of pop so nothing else has to be said about her. :P

Though I believe Tay Swift will take that title from her by the time she's Madonna's age. Hell, Gaga probably will too. >:P

Not if there is any justice in the universe. Actually in my honest opinion, it will be a cold day in hell that ever happens, but dream on. :)

This is too me an example of me not understanding why people are so big on him. Sure there are a couple of good songs but this isn't one of them in my opinion. I'd ask for someone to explain it to me so I can at least understand even if not agree but I think this is just one of those things you either get it or not.

Marvin Gaye easily rivals Smokey Robinson in terms of Music Quality... Smokey was a better Songwriter though. Elton John may have more quality singles than everyone else I named. Stevie Wonder is another honorable mention while I am thinking about it.

I disagree with you is all. Smokey Robinson trumps Marvin Gaye IMHO, and Billy Joel trumps Elton John IMHO. Elton John has better showmanship, but Billy is a better pianist.

I don't know who smokey robinson is but I wouldn't put Freddie mercury above Billy Joel. While Freddie has a stronger voice & is a great entertainer. Billy Joel is the much better piano player and overall instrument player & I might even reach and say that Billy Joel is more of a poet. I'd rate them equally

I take it you don't care much for Elton John or Marvin Gaye then since you didn't even mention them.

Billy Joel playing at the bar three in the morning is the reason I throw up.
