      Jo I’m not out to debate or shout anybody down. In rare exceptions when a new interpretation gives fantastic new life to a tune (Joe Cocker’s take of With a Little Help From My Friends), I typically prefer a cover to be more or less faithful in capturing as much of the original’s sound or spirit. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I doubt it. These kids are talented but do not approach the fire of Joel’s original.

    I think people look for perfection in music too much today, which really drives people away from singing because they're scared to be judged. Let's be honest, there were some "flaws" in this performance, but you guys appear to genuinely love music. The fact that you all got together to do this says a lot. It shows that you put time and effort into creating something together and I think that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your hard work and talents. I hope you continue to sing together and share your love of music with the world. God bless!

      The voices are great, but the rhythm is... not as good. A lot of rushing - though very together, oddly. Good ensemble, I guess that is.
      Look, it's not nice to be insulting, but firstly, Agent Kennedy was, being fairly constructive about it; secondly, just cos something's difficult doesn't make this performance better or worse (nor does the skill of a critic); and thirdly, how can people learn what's wrong with their performances if nobody criticises them?
      Basically, what you're suggesting is a world of yes-men and yes-women and a lack of improvement because no matter how awful something is, if you put in effort is was great, champ. Good job.

    Great job, guys! It's a great feeling to get the blend of voices just right, isn't it? Whether or not you ever got together again, this was a very special experience that most people never get to experience. I hope some or all of you have continued with your music. It's a great thing to bring joy to others especially with all the difficult things people go through! I did this kind of thing about 50+ years ago. You bring it all back. Way to go!

      the vocals are great, they needed a click track in their ears, I think it'd have added a lot more punch with the confidence on each beat. Their vocal work is good, I think that would have really helped them to nail the timing of it all. This is still a hell of a lot better than I could do vocally, but as a drummer I can hear the timing struggles. Awesome work for sure, people seem to agree with the fact it's been heard 2M times.

      It's not the pitch to what we are not used to. It's the timbre of the voice we don't recognize anymore. And that also explains why everyone sings so lightly and bright instead of deep and dark like singers used to do.
