Elton's music makes me fall asleep personally, I love Billy's music, and yet your assessment is completely unfair. Elton could have teamed up with tons of other lyricists and still been just as successful.

I kinda wish he would've kept the " You fucked it up, you stupid ass" part.

@racerx719 I'm sure Billy doesn't completely condemn every contestant. As I said, SOME have true skill. He can't hate the show entirely when he was originally set to appear during the finale of Season 8 with Scott McIntyre, but had to cancel due to intervening business.

Up there with Elton John? You mean Bernie Taupin & Elton? Every great song by E.John is co-written by Taupin: My opinion. I checked and Billy Joel has written EVERY single hit song hes recorded by himself: FACT. So as far as i concerned Billy genius stands alone - well above Elton and his sidekick. Without the lyrical contributions of Taupins musical mastermind, It seems Elton John would be a performing pianist humming melodies behind the talent of some other blokes intellectual properties.

Thanks for posting this!! Really cool to hear how this song evolved. Great changes and rhythm shifts, plus horn solo on the final version.

@HammernHeads Many people are quick to poke at American Idol. It's a competition on national television. Sure it's commericial, but you don't have to worry about the men behind the curtains. Sometimes there is actual talent that comes on the show. In fact, Scott McEntyre or however you spell it was an avid Billy Joel fan and shared "Just The Way You Are" one week, possibly introducing many young viewers to the excellence of Joel. So it has it's ups and downs.

Billy is a musical genius, up there with Elton; Billy writes the music first, gets together with his band, and, "makes up" as he has put it, in interviews, the words, lyrics, as he goes along, re-playing the song, adding to it, etc. He COMPOSES the song. Listen to his band-and this is just a "demo" they sound better than most finished garbage you hear nowadays....the band and him were TIGHT. And talented.

Amazing,Thanks for sharing.What a magical accomplishment the final version is with every syllable of every word eventually becoming absolute perfection in Spirit,Emotion and Narrative.Billy Joel makes me proud to be a human being.

They don't make em' like Billy Joel anymore. This guy literally defined a generation through music. I remember when these albums came out our family played them 24/7 non stop for years... Good days! People kept it a little more REAL back then. It shows in the music. I miss real people...
