Speaks volumes, huh? Just more Hollywood propaganda trying to normalize and glorify hedonism, eroding religion, breaking vows and the casual destruction of families. Oh but he can sing catchy piano songs, what a mensch!

Spare me.

he warned you that he'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints so maybe you can just move on from this thread

He is a virtuoso! Even if you don't like his music,there is no denying his talent.

I was confused if his ex-wife, Elizabeth, knew that her brother was defrauding him. This was never explained.

+ He's an amazing musician. The music composition, lyrics that are top-notch poetry, plus he can play the piano and sing.

Something is very wrong if a person does not enjoy listening to Billy Joel.


The Stranger is one of my favorite songs of all time. Also Innocent Man as I went through something like that.

I always thought he didn't get enough respect as a musician and songwriter. Already see the evidence on this thread.

It's a bit the same reaction Taylor Swift gets...oh you have written literally dozens of songs that speak to people and are insanely memorable melodies and oh you play an instrument flawlessly....but you are popular so you are overrated and kind of a talentless hack.

Totally Agree. The masses sometimes pick apart talent that is essentially virtuoso level, in favor of one trick ponies/ flashes in the pan.

It's almost like if he wasn't an astonishingly great pianist, and had a quarter of the number of hits he had, people would respect him more. How silly!

I do feel the same way about Taylor Swift.
