Okay, I admit, I just can't stop looping all his songs. It's Billy Joel but in an inexplicably and 10000000 times sexier voice.

One word. WOW.
I can't imagine how this youtuber transformed Billy Joel into something completely extraordinary. I love that raw edge to his voice. His covers are quite possibly the best versions I have ever heard! In fact, I would say, I prefer these versions waaaayy more than the originals. Why on earth has this person not been discovered yet?!

Just the way you are...Category: music
Wish my committee would say this to me. Alas. Alas.
Not a note out of tune. I prefer this version to Billy Joel's version!
And let's not even talk about that infernal kid Bruno whatever. All the really good Billy Joel's covers are sunk in searches by his absolutely awful song. WHYYYYYYY did he have to choose the same name!?? The universe should have rules against someone picking a classic song name and then destroying the whole concept by some hideous teeny-bopper version,
Even searching for "Just the way you are" -bruno is sometimes polluted with Bruno covers. UGH. Super UGH.
Anyway, in spite of bruno-polluted searches, I found another brilliant keyboard version (without the vocals)

If it looks like a troll...Category: i-tech
"If it looks like a troll and walks like a troll, it must be Apple."
The company just fell to a new low of what it is to be an ultimate champion in hypocrisy.
It just filed a patent for haptic feedback - a super convenient feature that has ALWAYS been around in Android. No doubt the next step would be some stupid patent office clerk signing off on this and then Apple suing the Android world to get its grubby manicured camouflaged paws on even more profits that is definitely not theirs and then claiming that they came up with the idea to begin with.
Disgusting practices +++
Given these hideous underhand dirty market practices coupled with snooty elitism and a horde of facade-drivensheep creeps, who feel they have inherited some kind of glory by using CrApple products, is it any surprise that even considering buying any kind of CrApple seems revolting?

Quote from that link:
"Sakoman took Kaplan's idea, and in the same timeframe GO developed its pen computer and operating system, Apple developed the very similar Newton. Interestingly enough, you rarely hear this part of the Newton's history - but as we all know, history is written by the winners. This "stealing" - as Apple calls it - is simply a core aspect of Apple's DNA. However, thanks to its incredibly loyal and unwavering fanbase, the very fabric of space-time is generally altered until it looks like Apple came up with everything all by itself."
Sakoman: Apple Employee at the time of Newton
Kaplan: Founder of GO corp :::link:::
Typical CrApple.
I would be fine if they kept all their stolen ideas, did whatever they wanted with them and did not attack the very people they keep stealing things from. But their whole MO seems to be, let's steal and then use our sheep for erasing the fact that we stole and then turn around and kill or bankrupt the people who created this tech so that they can never speak out. How evil is that?!

TTFN.Category: the odes
I used the word better where I shouldn't have an have to say sorry about that... That reason is why I don't watch American Idol.... To me American Idol is like saying we prefer this voice over that voice... But look to rock Music people like Neal Young, Bruce Springsteen and some might even put John Bon Jovi in there, Axel Rose all have bad voices..... But if that is so then why do they sell so many Records... Why is Gun's N' Roses going the Rock N' Roll Hall of fame... I think Axel has a great voice he just doesn't use it very often.... If I didn't want Christina to rape me and if it wasn't at the same time as WWE and my Fox monday night shows I would watch the voice I think it is cool idea... I also liked when they had some rock band that people tried out for that was a cool show......
So I was actually searching for a musical/broadway/pure unmodified piano (no strings or synth) version of "Just the way you are" and found this instead. There, you now have background on my bias. :)
Take La Roux for example. On its own the voice is nothing to write home about, but with the tune, it has its own charm.
heh, funny you say that. I was thinking how wonderful this bloke would be in musicals. I don't know if you can call one voice better than the other. They all have unique voices in their own way. Some voices are more suited to carrying melodies, some stay in tune, some have a delightful way of changing timbre and yet stay in tune. It's difficult to assess voices. I like the Allentown cover (below) the best. Somehow it has more raw feeling in it than Joel's for that theme...
Well I'm glad you found cover songs you like..... Now granted Joel's voice has changed some over the years but his voice is way better then this guy.... Now I could see this guy maybe doing plays and musicals but rock star sorry no.....
