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!
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 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.
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.
It's almost impossible to know someone through a TV screen...mannerisms, voice inflections and eyes tell alot though. You seem REAL, intelligent and funny and quirky. Which to me is awesome. Best suggestion I've ever used is the oldest one...just be yourself. The trick is to do it somewhere new. Every culture appreciates something different. A beautiful rose may grow among weeds and it just needs to be moved to a new place or...cut down the weeds around you. You are beautiful just the way you are, embrace it.
I remember when this first came out, I was in the throes of first love and we would listen to this album. I still can’t make it through any of his poetic romantic songs without crying! It is also remarkable how timeless these songs have proven to be!❤
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.
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❤
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 💕💖💕
He literally said he dont think he cant even sing that good. THE MAN IS A LEGEND, an unbelievable lyricist and just an overall experience. PLS LISTEN TO HIS LIVE VERSION OF 'SCENES FROM AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT' from Long Island. :)
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!
Try 'Rosalinda's Eyes.' It's a song he wrote for his parents. Very cool. Was kind of a sleeper for him, but still a great song. To me, some of his songs capture the essence of New York City, especially the sax solos. New York State of Mind would be one obviously, this one, and a couple of others from his early career.
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
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
This song is from back in my day. It makes me wish the clock could be wound back. It is so real and raw. And yes, you are right, it is what everyone hungers for. Don't feel bad about your tears. They are a gift to us all, for they express what we all feel, whether we are 20 or 90.
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 🙏🏼🇦🇺
You are such a sweetheart--the man in your life, whoever he may be, damned well better know just how lucky he is! Your reactions are pure joy to watch!
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.
When my wife (girlfriend at the time) first got together and were getting"serious" this song was out. I told her that this song is me and how I felt about her. We have been married now for 42 years and I still love her just the way she is........
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!
Every time this comes on the radio it reminds me of my wife. WE will be celebrating our 44th anniversary this April.
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
Mr. Pianoman is a National Treasure. You have a beautiful soul that is why you are crying.
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.
Day one I love you just the way you are.
You are beautiful. I just loved your reaction here. It is a great song - I hope you find that person!
premier piano player,great vocal range and outstanding song writer.. the complete package !
I bet you just light up a room. Love all your reactions. Great song.
No baby, we don't want you to cry, but we sure enjoy you hearing the best of the best from our generation. I think this good will never return
The world loves DayOneReacts just the way she is are !!!
Billy Joel in my opinion is one the best song writers out there.
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
One of the best singer -song writers to ever come along.
There is always someone available to love you like that, YOU.
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 ❤️
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.
Vienna - Billy Joel
It may be one of the greatest songs ever.
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
Billy Joel is a national treasure!

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.
"Isn't that what we ALL want - someone just to love us how we are..." YES! yes yes - I love your reaction to this song.
I remember when this first came out, I was in the throes of first love and we would listen to this album. I still can’t make it through any of his poetic romantic songs without crying! It is also remarkable how timeless these songs have proven to be!❤
I remember when this song came out and the ending had such a beautiful sound on the radio. Didn't realize what a great standard it would become 😊
Billy's life story is amazing. Monster artist at his time. lovely reaction.
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.
I totally agree with you Day One🙏. Billy is sooo good and I am happy you like him too. 🙏
"You never let me down *before*. " It's a beautiful song, I agree.
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.
I found her 37 years ago, And I love her more and more each day. So blessed !
The original solo brought Billy to tears 😊
Don't worry sweetheart.
You're perfect.......just the way you are! 😍
Real and beautiful .... so was the song.
The LEGENDARY Mr Billy Joel
Well Im single and have found true love. MYSELF!!
My friends and I saw Billy and Elton perform in Ibrox park Glasgow June 2nd 1998. They were outstanding together
That's what true love is. Acceptance. No matter what.
He's so damn talented.
Such a beautiful song. Always loved it!!! Billy is fantastic!!!
That was a great reaction to a beutiful song. Never change who you are.
This song is simply brilliant.
For genuine tears, 'It was a very good year." That has made me cry since I was a kid
your such a sweet young lady with a great heart! Don't lose that!!!
Mr Piano Man unico ad aver inciso solo gioielli musicali ... Il più completo e talentuoso performer songwriter

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!!
Awww, sweetie your adorable. I have no doubt that you'll find the love of your life. U have a beautiful heart
Her beauty stopped my troll dead in it's tracks!
I've been lucky enough to go to a Billy Joel concert...every song a masterpiece!
Who could not love you ❤ 💕

Hey I used to watch James at 15/16 when I was a kid too!! You had Excellent taste, my friend!!
💯💫❤🔥Billy Joel is an Iconic Legendary Writer/Singer/Performer...

It is so enjoyable watching how much you enjoy listening to music…taking me back to my youth🎵🎵😀😀
Great song in every sense of the word!
Billy Joel always wrote the best lyrics. He could distill his feelings down to the common person.
One of my favs of all time...
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.
You my sweet friend. are like me...deep and in love with love. You're a beautiful soul. Love your show.
Billy Joel: Music Genius!!
Some of the most romantic lyrics ever written. When I drink to much and my wife gets mad I put this on and ask her for a dance.
You are right. Very powerful and profound lyrics.
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
"Piano Man"
A Classic!!
😊💖
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
You are absolutely a stunning beautiful lady. Normal reaction to a great song.

Magical lyrics at every turn with billy!!
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💕
It took me 50 years to find mine. But I still found him. ❤️🥰
This song is so intimate and moving. Yes, it's what we all want. :) Love it. Someone should cover it.
Billy Joel is magical--a genius,,,
You are a sweet, beautiful and very caring young lady! Stay that way! I enjoy all your reaction videos.
