The importance of a dad can never be overestimated. How precious is this??? I don't know how he could keep it together after that song. Bless them both!
Little credit to Christie too ..having good relations with a Ex who she apparently never bad mouthed. Lesson to others...it does impact your off spring..Bless you guys! ❤️
@@forget3817 What a ridiculous statement. What does that have to do with anything? That is his daughter no matter how old she is. Nevermind the fact that she will always be a child in his eyes. You must be a child or not have any children yourself..
I was in the audience for this and was extremely shocked, because I had no idea that she has a beautiful singing voice. Her father can sing, her mother isn’t known to sing, so there was no reason to assume she would be born with a great singing voice. She also is clearly comfortable performing in front of thousands of people, and she has something else that can’t be taught: a magnetic stage presence.
I buried my dad last Friday. Officer of the law among many other things. He worked with children and families. His first priority was everyone's safety. Terry Chinn is a legend where we are. Hes priceless. Im the luckiest girl in the world ❤❤❤ love you dad. RIP Hey boy! Ill see you soon. 💙💙💙
We lost our parents young. My dad was a well known race car mechanic for various clubs, police mechanic and union president. Our mom was a great lady too. I can understand how you miss your dad very much. I was daddy's little girl too. Alexa sings lovely. That's an old song from my mom's oldies channel.
Billy Joel is a very lucky man to have his daughter sing that song for him. That was Amazing. I’m a father and it just for a moment, wished my daughter was still here with me.❤
A beautiful tribute! If you've never seen the move 'To Sir, with Love' (1967) with Sidney Poiter - and Lulu singing this famously iconic song - you owe yourself a treat!
I'll never forget the response I received from the beautiful Alexa Ray Joel, when I left a comment on her Facebook page several years ago. She was truly humble and appreciative and I'll always treasure her reply. So, Alexa Ray, if you read this, what a priceless gift and memory you shared with your Dad. Thank you for doing that.
She needed autotune. Do you know what autotune is, and how it works? Did you know that many artists have used it before it became such a bandwagon comment on YT? Many of your favs used an auto tuner in the studio before it was called auto tune. Artists have used tools just like auto tune for over 50 years.
The brings back a fond memory of Billy Joel and Alexa. In 2006, my wife and I stopped late one night to say hello to Norman, the long-time bartender and fixture at the Ritz in NYC. While sipping a drink at the bar, my wife asked me to ask the pianist to play "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (a favorite request of hers). The piano was behind a column so I couldn't see the pianist. When I went to ask, I realized why we were hearing a lot of Billy Joel tunes, it was Billy sitting at the piano playing with Alexa on the bench with him. I went back to explain to my wife that it was Billy Joel playing and she said, well, he's a piano player, marched over and asked him to play it. Sure enough, he did with my wife sitting on the bench with him and Alexa. Of course, this left me with the question "what do you tip Pianoman?" Needless to say, we (and everyone else) stayed for more than one drink as Billy played for over an hour.
what a beautiful tribute to her father. !! I am stunned at all he negative comments. She loves and adores her father ....and sang to him to show her love for him. And sang in front of thousands of people to boot. Give her a break and just enjoy the tribute for what it is. Isn't it nice to see LOVE in the world instead of hate????? Alexa....you go girl.....and thanks for the memories......
@@wagu7003 you have to read more than the first few comments.......the negative comments were more about her clothes and shoes she was wearing... not her singing.....
I just started reading so I. have not seen negative yet. But, it there is shame on them. They obviously are just trolls who hate everyone and are miserable little no ones. They need attention because no one will pay attention to their sorry selves.
It’s so rare to see genuine loving and respectful relationship between a young celebrity millennial and a father these days. So heart warming to see this.
This Beautiful young Lady has been singing, playing the piano and just entertaining for YEARS. Absolutely stunning and talented she is. You gotta know she made Papa proud with this song by LuLu. I was proud for them both just watching. And, of course, I cried 😢!!❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t believe a lot of these comments here. Just shaking my head. She’s very talented. Sings beautifully. It seems like she’s singing live without a back track, which is rare now, and which means she’s a very talented vocalist.
They are mostly just trolls that are paid to try and divide us, many aren’t even American. Ignore the lowlifes. Yes, she sang beautifully. He must be proud to have such a lovely daughter.
This was just absolutely beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen Billy Joel as emotionally involved in anything more than this. I know he's proud of her and I know how much he loves his children.
The apple does not fall far from the tree /Billy Alexa is amazing because she has an amazing dad. I look forward to many more years of entertainment thank you a million times
I love this song, SO much. Since I was a kid too. It's beautiful and sweet. I lost my father to cancer when I was sixteen. I'm so happy this young woman has her father here to do this.
Let's see-sang from the heart- was respectful to thr audience- didn't bombard the songs lyrics with the profane and modern day perversity- and kept her clothes on for the song! How entertainment used to be. She is already golden!
This song was popular when my mom was pregnant for me. She passed not quite 2 years ago. Now, my dad is nearing the end of his life and is presently in the hospital not doing well. This song truly says how I feel.
She’s a star and doesn’t realize she is. It has nothing to do with who her father is. This girl has had mountains to climb to get to this stage. I applaud her for her dedication to her dream, and her talent goes far beyond what we see here. Bravo! 🙏🌸❤️
She sings circles around Taylor Swift...and writes much better music as well. For the life of me I still cannot understand how Alexa is not as popular as Taylor. SMH.
So beautiful. Billy Joel has always been one of my favorite singers. He is so lucky to have such a beautiful relationship with his daughter. She shows that she loves him very much.
As my face is soaked in tears..I can just imagine this is the best gift any dad could ever hope for...Guess you did good mr.joel..cuz she sure loves you!
So sweet. I always liked her. She was always her own person. She has both Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel in her. Her voice is wonderful and her happiness made me smile the whole time she sang.
I can see Billy Joel getting a little choked up there while being serenaded by his daughter. What a wonderful tribute to let your father know what an incredible figure and influence he was in your life
Why do all the haters expect an American Idol or X-Factor caliber performance? As if any of you could have done better? Her performance was filled with raw emotion, and she still kept it together without her voice cracking or having to stop. I say she did an amazing job! To those saying she's flat, listen to it with headphones and you'll realize she's perfectly on key. The distortion comes from a loud live performance being recorded on a cell phone. If you haven't noticed, any concert recorded on a cell phone will have distortion between the band and the singer, that's just how it is!
@@jmark7390 She's a lot better. You have to take into consideration the emotions and sentiments at the time. I am sure it is not the easiest thing to pull off, trying to sing a song like that in front of 18,000 people to your father who has tears in his eyes.
Beautiful Alexa a fellow Long Island girl my dad was my everything passed when I was 15. your song id sing to a man who dedicated his life to education , God and love beyond comprehension ive seen your dad in concert every time i can. Tearful st your love.... and im sure his thrning from the audience was to hide his tears of love 💕.
I love watching how much he loves her. His expressions say it all. Every girl should grow up with a father’s love and admiration. She did a great job!!
Billy Joel is the Spirit Animal of my youth. How his music makes me feel is beyond words God Bless him and his sweet daughter. Beautiful family love. ❤️
I’ll never forget the first time I heard The Stranger was flowing across the quads near my dorm at Penn State. It was haunting and I had to go and get it right away. Later when we had our children it was my oldest son’s favorite singer. He’d always clamor for “Billy Joel!” Such happy times.
I’m crying too! I miss my Dad!!! Watching movies together was our jam!!! He was a decorated US Army Vietnam war combat veteran and a sky soldier with the legendary 173rd /101st Airborne brigade!!! What a lucky daughter and dad to be able to share this. Very moving! Great song!!!!
Met Billy when he came to my college to play one evening. It was snowing and only three people showed up. We all sat at the piano. He said he had a record coming out. We never knew him before that. That was back in the seventies. He played piano man. We all said it was a hit. I don’t know if any of us would have dreamed it became such a big hit. I glad it did. Who knew we would still be talking about after having adult children of our own.
Wow, this just gave me the chills not just because she has a lovely voice but you can see the love the two fo them share for each other. He must have been an amazing father and you can just see how they adore each other and how proud he is. God Bless them, you don't see this to often! My Dad left home when I was 11 so these things make me extremely emotional.
I’m so glad to see that Alexa is apparently close to her dad. If I had been her I would have never been able to get through that. I didn’t understand her outfit at first, but once she started the song it made perfect sense. Billy deserves whatever kind of retirement or slowing down he has in mind for himself whenever he is ready. Thank you Sir, for 50+ years of wonderful music! I do hope it’s not over yet.❤️
Beautiful voice, lovely daughter; made my eyes tear up at the end when she sand, "To Dad, with Love." Sweet. You done good, Billy. Thank you for all of your memorable music, too, from back in the day--the 1970s!! 💖💖
She is an oddly beautiful blend of her parents, and a solid talent in her own right. Also, it is kinda crazy how that place has such a unique acoustic signature that is even captured on cell phone video. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous in every possible way. That retro-look fits the song perfectly and Alexa Ray looks and sounds simply stunning. Thank you for posting this! Made my heart melt. 😭🥰
@@shelbytouchstone8873 How are you doing today Shelby, my pleasure to meet you here today . I’ve been listening to this song for years now & it sounds exactly the same in 2024.
Billy Joel was on tour promoting his album with the top 20 hit "Allentown." He stopped in our city and Christie was in the audience and she had Alexa in her arms. I will never forget that. It's great to see Alexa all grown up and with a singer songwriter career of her own.
One of my favorite ❤️ songs. From the movie To Sir With Love! I’ve watched it so many times growing up. I’d cry every 😢time. The Actress that sung the sung had a beautiful voice.. Sidney Poitier is a legend

It's easier to keep it together when the person singing to you is a middle-aged woman.
Love the fact that she is really real, no plastic surgery, not a string bean, just very talented and sweet. Love her! 🫶🌟😇
My mom was a wonderful woman, but my Dad was my main support growing up! His love has kept me single and happy❣️❣️

Yes she does have a beautiful voice and she has recorded music
She tried some time ago to launch a singing career but wasn’t very successful. Shame, she has a great voice !

Lulu's was an innocent version of the song, and her voice was perfect for it.
Thanks Paul, couldn't think it was Lulu

This young woman obviously inherited dad's musical ability. No auto tune or computer tricks. Just pure singing talent.
And this kid has talent
Her voice is nasally and off key. Sorry, just because she’s Billy’s kid that doesn’t automatically make her like him.
It is definitely off key. It's embarrassing for her.

Beautiful voice, lovely daughter; made my eyes tear up at the end when she sand, "To Dad, with Love." Sweet. You done good, Billy. Thank you for all of your memorable music, too, from back in the day--the 1970s!! 💖💖
God bless her!!!Great voice and love for her father!!❤❤
Hi Carol💐💐
As a dad with daughters, this had to be very special for Billy. She seems to have a sweet disposition, he must be very proud of her and should be.
One of my Favorite Songs. Beautiful Tribute
Hi Teresanna💐💐
She is an oddly beautiful blend of her parents, and a solid talent in her own right. Also, it is kinda crazy how that place has such a unique acoustic signature that is even captured on cell phone video. Thanks for sharing.
That’s Madison Square Garden for you.
She sings legitimately great ❤️🙌🙌👏👏👏
Hi Ellen💐💐
Her voice fits this song really enjoyed it
That was outstanding !!! I can't put into words how much that touched me ....
That gave me goosebumps and tears!!!!
I didn’t know that Alexa Ray Joel has a wonderful singing voice! She is definitely very talented! Like father, like daughter!
Absolutely gorgeous in every possible way. That retro-look fits the song perfectly and Alexa Ray looks and sounds simply stunning. Thank you for posting this! Made my heart melt. 😭🥰
Lovely...She did her daddy proud. Well done!
Sweet & Priceless to be serenade by your daughter. What I’d give to sing, see, touch my dad one more time. ❤️💜🧡
Alexa is so talented. ❤😊I love this 🎵 song.
Hi Shelby💐💐
Hi my friend 😊
@@shelbytouchstone8873 How are you doing today Shelby, my pleasure to meet you here today . I’ve been listening to this song for years now & it sounds exactly the same in 2024.
The time spent being a good parent are so rewarding in time. This was an excellent gift.
Not a Billy fan but loved her and her performance!

OMG! This is one of my favorite songs! I haven’t heard it since I was a kid 💕
Hi Nichols💐💐
Well that made me get misty eyed ❤️ Such a great song & Alexa sang it beautifully to her Dad. It must have been very emotional for him ❤️ xx
lol
Ur daddy is surely surprised.U nailed that song.Father & daughter moment
What a great song and her outfit is perfect for the song too😊. She’s a talented singer and I wish her well. ❤
Billy Joel was on tour promoting his album with the top 20 hit "Allentown." He stopped in our city and Christie was in the audience and she had Alexa in her arms. I will never forget that. It's great to see Alexa all grown up and with a singer songwriter career of her own.
Im not crying, youre crying!!! 🤥😭. That was so beautiful. 🙏🏾❤️
One of my favorite ❤️ songs. From the movie To Sir With Love! I’ve watched it so many times growing up. I’d cry every 😢time. The Actress that sung the sung had a beautiful voice.. Sidney Poitier is a legend
