Billy Joel, a humble, hard working blue collar New Yorker who just happens to be blessed with immense talent. He's always seemed to be surprised by his success. I remember, back during his peak, and he was HUGE then, being asked by a reporter what it's like to be a superstar. He replied something like this "A superstar? I'm not a superstar. I'm just a musician. I can write songs. I can play piano. I can sing. What I am is competent at my job". How do you not love a guy like that?
This is the right way to do a love song. I met my wife when I was 16. That was 1977. This is our song. 44 years later still going strong. Thanks for the reaction.
You are quickly becoming a historian of pop music. We, the boomers, will count on you to propagate love and admiration for some of the best pop music ever heard. Thanks!
This is why I like your channel. A real person having real and honest reactions to songs I'm familiar with, causing me to look at them differently. Keep being you, and no apologies necessary.
Love your reaction to this as it was my song to my beautiful wife, sadly she has left for heaven now , love her still always will . Couldn't ask for more from 41 years together. Thanks for your insight.
Oh girl you need a box of tissues next to you❤ I'm the same way I cry because it's so beautiful!!!! Just be yourself and I can guarantee you will find that person that will love you Just the Way You Are❤
I echo Charles F comments. Yes, I have found that wonderful woman who loves me just the way I am, and I love her just as she is. You light up the room when a song rings your bell. Keep it up.
I generally go completely bonkers when reactors pause the video, but YOU can pause as much as you wish. I just love how that little smile creeps across your face when you hear the lyrics, the look on your face as you take in the lyrics and the artists voice, and how you have to take a moment to collect yourself and then you let go this heart felt comment that just hits different. You react to these songs with your whole heart and it is so beautiful to see it. Pause as much as you wish, because I can't wait to hear what you're going to say. It brings a smile to my face every time. Your reaction to The Carpenters made me tear up.. the most beautiful reactions I've ever seen.. and the one to Roxanne made me fall off my chair laughing so hard. Thank you for your channel and your amazing heart. So glad I found it.
I absolutely love your reactions to awesome music that I grew up on. Billy Joel has a way with words! I’m 55 years old and I’m still waiting to find that one person to love me just the way I am. ❤️❤️❤️
Love your reactions. Your sensitivity is very sweet and endearing. Also, young as you are, I've seen numerous reactors who don't sort out the lyrics nearly as well. And you're right. Billy Joel is excellent. One of a kind. We really don't have any singer-songwriters out there who can tell stories and write a great song in any genre whether it's there home turf or they went to someone else's to do a song. Hoping all the attention he and other of the great singer-songwriters from the past getting in reactions inspire the next generation to want to be more and do more than write sub-3 minute mediocre sound alike tunes that can tell no story with nothing special lyrics. I think they'll make a comeback thanks to the new attention the old greats are getting. Thanks for doing your part on that. Keep up the good work!
Reminder of the times I did karaoke and once in a while I did some Billy Joel songs. Amazing. Memories. I like the Lyrics too. Not just a softy. Glad I'm not the only one
This was his first Gold single (much bigger than the overplayed “Piano Man”) and Grammy Record of the Year. It was part of the multi-platinum album “The Stranger”. If you want to listen to a complete classic album, listen to that one.
You got my heartstrings with this one! My Dad sang this to me while I was folding laundry and he was setting up for rehearsal. He's a Drummer who raised 5 kids! Anyhow I was barely in 9th grade and High School was so changing for me. It was special because my dad rarely sings for the band and I got a personal solo as I pouted doing chores. 💪🤓❤😇🌹🎹🎵
What a special song,something that any and everyone can relate to.Billy Joel had such a great run.He made some beautiful music that lives on and on.Thank you Billy Joel.
The first time I heard this song was during an episode filled with heartache on James At 16 starring Lance Kerwin in 1977. Absolutely loved this song ever since. You're so adorable, girl. Keep up the great work!
He's actually playing it faster than the recorded version. God I miss 1977-78. Billy Joel was well rooted in classical and jazz music, and applied those abilities into pop and rock. Well thought out compositions and lyrics and themes. Rather than just songs and repetitious garbage. The use of saxophone on his records gives it that New York City American sounding feel. And one great recognizable voice. Billy Joel has class. Just the Way you Are by Billy Joel Won 2 Grammys record of the year and song of the year for 1978, award in 1979. For this song to have this affect on you some 43-44 year later speaks for itself and for Billy Joel.
You're an extremely beautiful young woman - You don't need me to tell you that , you can just look in the mirror - but , my God , the beauty of your Soul 💖 The way you connect with the pure emotion and passion and meaning of this song 😍 You're positively breath taking - Thank You so much for sharing the unmatched and unsurpassed Beauty of Your Soul with us 💕💖💕
DayOne, You WILL find that one person for you. They should be lining up and fighting for a place in line. You are fine and smart. Do not worry. I've been married to the right woman for 37 years. I hope you have better luck. Set a record!
Oh sweet pea, your genuine smile and honest breath down of how the lyrics hit you had me subscribe. I am at an age where reaction videos are my guilty pleasure. However I want to see thoughtful reaction. Say if you have perhaps been exposed but have not actually listened with purpose. (Some people push it) I enjoy your reactions. You are so lovely. Subscribed.
This one brings back a memory of a complicated time in my marriage. When I hear this it reminds me of how close my marriage almost ended. Still married now 44 years. But it was a close call back in the late 1990's.
The word love has been so misinterpreted so much that we 4get what it means, Billy Joel this song I think I was about 5 but it was always on am radio in my mums car going down the coast surfing every weekend, yea I’m old 😂 but good music never dies ❤ thank you 🙏🏼🇦🇺
Billy is one of my all time favorites...seen him in concert over 30 times...love watching your reaction to this great song. Just discovered your channel tonight...subscribed after just two reactions.
Very very good 'analyse' of songs , Day Reacts ! I'm now 60 , and I'm really happy to see young generation appreciate music of each era ! (Ali , France)

You can't go wrong with Billy Joel. He's written literally dozens of songs as good (and popular) as this song.
Billy Joel is an amazing songwriter. Every one is a story.
Listen to “Honesty” and Billy sings about the other side of relationships
You are beautiful. I just loved your reaction here. It is a great song - I hope you find that person!
Every time this comes on the radio it reminds me of my wife. WE will be celebrating our 44th anniversary this April.
My favorite Billy Joel song. This was my wife & my wedding song, and still gets me teary eyed no matter how many times I listen to it over the years
This is the right way to do a love song. I met my wife when I was 16. That was 1977. This is our song. 44 years later still going strong. Thanks for the reaction.
That’s so beautiful. Congratulations! You are an inspiration to us all.
She Got a way About Her, Lulliby, Honesty, It's all about Soul,She's Always a Woman to me,New York State of Mind,And So It Goes.
premier piano player,great vocal range and outstanding song writer.. the complete package !
You are a sweet, beautiful and very caring young lady! Stay that way! I enjoy all your reaction videos.
I love how intently you listen to lyrics and let them sink in. I think that Honesty by Billy Joel is a song you would really love.
Fabulous smile it is like the sun coming out lovely .
It's a beautiful song the studio version probably even more touching! Billy Joel outstanding!
Uncle Charlie I agree with you. The studio version is much more beautiful ❤️
Mr Piano Man unico ad aver inciso solo gioielli musicali ... Il più completo e talentuoso performer songwriter
You my sweet friend. are like me...deep and in love with love. You're a beautiful soul. Love your show.
It’s ok to cry while listening to music….it just means you’re feeling it/relating to it! That’s the way it’s meant to be listened to.
Great art deserves great emotions.
I'm In Love With you Are You Married???
fun fact; Barry White did a cover of Billy's ''Just the way you are'' and Billy himself cried listening to Barry's cover

That was a great reaction to a beutiful song. Never change who you are.
Another gem from Billy! Thanks
You have the best energy!!!!! Great taste in music too! This is the best react show by far .
Billy Paul version of this is my favorite .
Isaac Hayes
I found her 37 years ago, And I love her more and more each day. So blessed !
Mr. Pianoman is a National Treasure. You have a beautiful soul that is why you are crying.
Vienna - Billy Joel
It may be one of the greatest songs ever.
Love your reaction to this as it was my song to my beautiful wife, sadly she has left for heaven now , love her still always will . Couldn't ask for more from 41 years together. Thanks for your insight.
Real and beautiful .... so was the song.
Ive loved with that level of unconditionality before. One day i hope to have it returned 😔
Oh girl you need a box of tissues next to you❤ I'm the same way I cry because it's so beautiful!!!! Just be yourself and I can guarantee you will find that person that will love you Just the Way You Are❤
I echo Charles F comments. Yes, I have found that wonderful woman who loves me just the way I am, and I love her just as she is. You light up the room when a song rings your bell. Keep it up.
Billy's life story is amazing. Monster artist at his time. lovely reaction.

your such a sweet young lady with a great heart! Don't lose that!!!
Always A Woman To Me is another good one! Uptown Girl, You May Be Right, Piano Man! Just The Way You Are was always my favorite Billy Joel song.
Great song in every sense of the word!
Billy Joel is a national treasure!
Love it! Billy Joel is a brilliant songwriter and singer! ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦
There is always someone available to love you like that, YOU.
You are absolutely a stunning beautiful lady. Normal reaction to a great song.
I absolutely love your reactions to awesome music that I grew up on. Billy Joel has a way with words! I’m 55 years old and I’m still waiting to find that one person to love me just the way I am. ❤️❤️❤️
My friends and I saw Billy and Elton perform in Ibrox park Glasgow June 2nd 1998. They were outstanding together

One of my favs of all time...
Aww! Such a sweet reaction to this beautiful song. Billy Joel is a classic!
You are listening to Music that came from the heart lovely lady, hard to find that nowadays. Can't go wrong with the piano man.
This song is simply brilliant.
My favorite line of the entire song. I don't want clever conversation. I never want to work that hard I just want someone I can talk to💕
From my hometown of Hicksville Long Island New York.
Reminder of the times I did karaoke and once in a while I did some Billy Joel songs.
Amazing. Memories. I like the Lyrics too.
Not just a softy.
Glad I'm not the only one
This song is so intimate and moving. Yes, it's what we all want. :) Love it. Someone should cover it.
Beautiful young lady with an amazing reaction. You need to dive deeper into his rabbit hole. Try joe Cocker: You Are So Beautiful To Me.
Wonderful tearful reaction. I remember you doing it with How Deep is your Love, another magic song.
It took me 50 years to find mine. But I still found him. ❤️🥰
You are right. Very powerful and profound lyrics.
This was his first Gold single (much bigger than the overplayed “Piano Man”) and Grammy Record of the Year. It was part of the multi-platinum album “The Stranger”. If you want to listen to a complete classic album, listen to that one.
Great song, with the best words.
That's what true love is. Acceptance. No matter what.
He's so damn talented.
Dear Angelic Sweet Angela___JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!
Sweet song!
It is the best one for me!
I love how genuine you are. So nice to see.
You got my heartstrings with this one! My Dad sang this to me while I was folding laundry and he was setting up for rehearsal. He's a Drummer who raised 5 kids! Anyhow I was barely in 9th grade and High School was so changing for me. It was special because my dad rarely sings for the band and I got a personal solo as I pouted doing chores. 💪🤓❤😇🌹🎹🎵
❤❤❤
Magic momment...like Bobby Orr scoring the Stanley Cup winning goal❗
What a special song,something that any and everyone can relate to.Billy Joel had such a great run.He made some beautiful music that lives on and on.Thank you Billy Joel.
Day one I love you just the way you are.
The first time I heard this song was during an episode filled with heartache on James At 16 starring Lance Kerwin in 1977. Absolutely loved this song ever since. You're so adorable, girl. Keep up the great work!
i remember when it was James at 15 in its first season ...
Hey I used to watch James at 15/16 when I was a kid too!! You had Excellent taste, my friend!!
'New York State Of Mind' is another fantastic Billy Joel song you can appreciate..
World favorite -- as how you wear your hair dearest Angela
"Piano Man"
A Classic!!
😊💖
Billy Joel: Music Genius!!
Beautiful your not silly you have lovely feelings, it shows your a good person. X
He's actually playing it faster than the recorded version. God I miss 1977-78. Billy Joel was well rooted in classical and jazz music, and applied those abilities into pop and rock. Well thought out compositions and lyrics and themes. Rather than just songs and repetitious garbage. The use of saxophone on his records gives it that New York City American sounding feel. And one great recognizable voice. Billy Joel has class. Just the Way you Are by Billy Joel Won 2 Grammys record of the year and song of the year for 1978, award in 1979. For this song to have this affect on you some 43-44 year later speaks for itself and for Billy Joel.
For me the late 70's (77, 78, 79) and the early 80's (80,81) were simply the best year's for music..miss those days very much!!
That was a very sweet reaction there.
A beautiful song by a great vocalist.
Girl how can anyone not love you just the way you are, you are beautiful in all ways , your soul permeates, your beauty all thru the screen.
The LEGENDARY Mr Billy Joel
Such a beautiful piece, words and music. Will always be a favorite. I hope you also listen to his " Leave A Tender Moment Alone".
One of my all time favorites
The world loves DayOneReacts just the way she is are !!!
Love this song. Captain Jack and NY State of Mind my triad of Billy Joel song's
You're an extremely beautiful young woman - You don't need me to tell you that , you can just look in the mirror - but , my God , the beauty of your Soul 💖 The way you connect with the pure emotion and passion and meaning of this song 😍 You're positively breath taking - Thank You so much for sharing the unmatched and unsurpassed Beauty of Your Soul with us 💕💖💕
DayOne, You WILL find that one person for you. They should be lining up and fighting for a place in line. You are fine and smart. Do not worry.
I've been married to the right woman for 37 years. I hope you have better luck. Set a record!
One of the best singer -song writers to ever come along.
Oh sweet pea, your genuine smile and honest breath down of how the lyrics hit you had me subscribe.
I am at an age where reaction videos are my guilty pleasure. However I want to see thoughtful reaction. Say if you have perhaps been exposed but have not actually listened with purpose. (Some people push it) I enjoy your reactions.
You are so lovely. Subscribed.
Billy Joel is a literal hit machine
I think I can safely say that Billy Joel is one of the great wordssmith'ls, as well as one of the finest songwriters we've had in our lifetimes.
That sound you hear at 5:21 is the sound of my heart just breaking wide open. Clean in two! 🤪
I love that song too. Glad you loved it too,
This one brings back a memory of a complicated time in my marriage. When I hear this it reminds me of how close my marriage almost ended. Still married now 44 years. But it was a close call back in the late 1990's.

Billy Joel in my opinion is one the best song writers out there.
I just love your reactions!!!
I think of all his songs this is his best
Billy is one of my all time favorites...seen him in concert over 30 times...love watching your reaction to this great song. Just discovered your channel tonight...subscribed after just two reactions.
Sista you get it At 70 yrs old Billy said "You can get what you want or you can just get old" on Vienna sent me to get my MBA 40+ years ago
Luv ya Angela, well analysed, and beautifully reacted to..
Very very good 'analyse' of songs , Day Reacts ! I'm now 60 , and I'm really happy to see young generation appreciate music of each era ! (Ali , France)
For my money, "I don't want clever conversations... I never want to work that hard... I just want someone I can talk to..." is just too beautiful :)
Another wonderful reaction video. Thanks.

And that was Liiiive!!!
Definitely like you just the way you are.... cry, it's good.
Grew up with Billy Joel, my dad used to sing to my mom
