      100% I agree. I once saw John Denver who did an outdoor concert in Toronto Canada with only his own accompaniment & 2 hours like Emily. So comforting with only his own voice & piano or guitar. The best.🇨🇦👍

    My dearest Emily, Billy’s songs have always ranked right up on the top of the list for me. You sound amazing Em. You always do of course, but I believe his songs are a great match for you, and he has so many songs that you would shine brightly performing. I hope he hears this, because I think it’s the best cover of his song I have ever heard. I love the chord changes at the end, and of course your beautiful smile. This is truly a winner for you young lady, and I hope you perform more of his music. You are the best to me, the very best. 💕♾🌹👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹Thanks to your mum and Elvis for the great audio and video work to help make you shine.👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹

    Wonderful cover, Emily. There's no denying Billy Joel's original is an absolute classic. Your very subtle change of slowing the tempo just a fraction and keeping the instrumention stripped back to allow your voice more space takes the song to another level. Brilliant.

Then I get notifications that they love the songs.. You play great guitar and fantastic Piano but , Your voice Em. The soothing control , OmG, That is one thing we are missing in todays music. You are a star in my world. I listen to you every day. I would love to collaborate a song with you someday. I post my covers here also.. This is a true statement and please take it to heart. >There are people that hear you sing a song and just love it and never heard it before you covered it. That should tell you something.. You have that talent Em. To dust off a song and breath new life in it. And I love most of all when your doing a Piano solo and put that EL Twist on it. I say, there she goes again with those astounding fingers.. I have heard you do covers I have never heard before and I love them. And we can't forget your originals as they are off the hook.. You will be in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame one day, right here in my hometown Cleveland Ohio.. I may not be here but you will.. Keep it up. Your a natural.. Take care and thank your mom and dad for the music gene. Music is my life and thanks for being on the top of my list. Always, Nicky Cristino. USA.. We Love You Em.....

      I think it's a little bit of her piano playing, the words of the song, and when she sings it sounds like she is right there near you singing the song to you. She is not trying to show off her power, or hit notes that are hard to hit, she just sings the song the way it was intended.

I remember when I first heard this from Billy Joel back in the late 70s,, it pulled at my heartstrings Then as a young man and falling in love with my wife. I'm old now, no longer have a wife, so it felt good to cry listening to you as you took me back in time to a sweet moment. Your smile at the end was gentle and true.

    Yes, Billy Joel has written MANY wonderful songs, I agree! and you do it very well, too! I agree with Brad that a number of his songs are a good match for you.
    As I was listening to you do it, I did note that there were a number of differences from the original, but then I remembered back when I was close to your age I would always find my own interpretation. Then when I would hear the original and it was very different, I would just nod and smile, thinking, "Yep, that's another way to do it". Kudos to you for finding your own way of doing it.

    Thanks Emily for that BEAUTIFUL performance! Your parents must be in Heaven, getting to
    hear their extremely talented daughter performing a lot of the songs they grew up listening
    to.....lucky them! Perfect tempo, flawless musicianship and you look stunning, too! I'm sure
    a lot of your 109K! subscribers also grew up listening to Billy Joel, and love to watch and
    appreciate listening to a young persons interpretation of these classic songs. Keep smiling,
    too!😃🤩👍❤

    Even though a female singer there is a deepness & richness in her voice which is very special & unique
