New York State of Mind, Billy Joel & Alexa Ray Joel & Della Rose Joel, Madison Square Garden, New York, May 9th, 2019; MSG Residency; Billy's 70th Birthday Bash Show
Ohhh that was absolutely fabulous!! That’s one of my favorite Billy Joel songs, and to see his beautiful daughter sing it with him and to share in his birthday celebration! Wow! She’s beautiful and talented, too! The whole package! 🎉
They look like they are genuinely happy to be together and performing.. I love how they both showed their talent while letting each other shine . What a hidden treasure Alexa turned out to be . Beautiful and talented !.
Wow, she has a unique voice. I hope she finds a safeway to enjoy her voice and everything shes widhes to be. As an outsider, shes got a strong sounding soul! Let her singgggg
It is such an affirmation of this girl’s spirit and determination that she has become this beautiful woman. It is also so apparent the deep fondness they both share for each other. I really enjoyed the video.
The dynamic duo! Love them together! She has her dad's gift, such a beautiful voice, beautiful young lady! Would love to see them someday together in concert. Way to go Alexa!
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music 💕
Absolutely Beautiful.. Hope your birthday was beautiful!! Love seeing dad and his elegant daughter singing a song that touches my soul. Grew up in Syosset with MarySue (Elizabeths sister) except I went to catholic school while she went to Syosset high with my year older brother whom she had a mad crush on. Cristiano‘s was my pizza place and hang out. Living in California now since 1981, I can’t tell you how much this song brings me home. I look forward to retiring soon and moving back east. Stunning voice this beauty has. Love to watch your interactions as “pop’s” and daughter. ✌🏻🌷❤️👏🏻
Never seen alexa live before. Just saw photos. All I can say is WOW, pics do not do this beautiful young lady justice. She is so vibrant and electric live.
Oh, my mom shared my music with me; Loved Billy but Alexa’s torch would have found a way into her soul...Thank you for sharing the vid and thanking all for the music! 🎤🎼🎹

Alexa-you are a lovely lady and have a beautiful voice. Your outfit however is beneath you. Shoes you can barely walk in and skin tight pants-you don’t need that, they detract from your beauty.
The Joel family is a family I wouldn't mind hanging out with. Maybe get a few keyboard/piano pointers from Billy and Alexa. A few harmonica pointers from Billy, too.
I saw him in concert on his birthday in 1998. While he took a brake the crew asked us to sing happy birthday when he came back out. He did a long set that night. I think he was just happy having fun. He's a great live performer. He does all his music just like he recorded it. Awesome talent. 🎹🎶👍✌️
She is soo beautiful!!! Her voice is, ... just amazing! ..... slow it down! Give a slow, sultry. Like .... Kathleen Turner, ...... Beth Heart.... OMG!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! DON’T sing dad’s music. I love you! BE YOU!

Alexa, what direction has your career taken? I remember your 2006 gig in Arlington, VA like it was yesterday! And the autographed picture made that show even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!
There has to be major substance in a voice to stand out. Billy has that of course. It's as if he's singing directly to you as opposed to simply mouthing the words.
....and she’ll carry on her father’s legacy, recreating his great songs... then she becomes another Ariana Grande.. Love Billy. But sadly no one lives forever.
that’s mark rivera, billy’s saxophonist saxophonist since 1982. since richie left in early 1982, billy needed a new saxophonist after releasing Nylon Curtain, david brown (the lead guitarist at the time) knew mark and introduced the idea to have mark be their new sax man. billy accepted and had mark auditioned for him and got in after billy stopped the band just to say how good mark was. mark hasn’t left since, and richie’s played with billy a few times, mainly in the Piano Man to Innocent Man tour. sorry this is long
She hasn’t learned how to use the mic yet, like dad! That’s why she keeps fading in & out. Wow, is that frustrating as heck! Listen to dad! Watch him sing directly into the mic, at ALL times. Stop walking & waving to people until you know how to work the mic! If you’re going to pull away from the mic & move it back & forth, adjust your voice or take lessons on how to work the mic! It’s important, and quite frustrating to listen to. She doesn’t seem confident in delivery, which is why she’d pull it away & soften up her voice, when trying to hit those high runs...yes, notes were off key.
Thank goodness someone else noticed this! Who the heck wears shoes that they cannot walk in - and needs escorted onto stage… that just makes them look ridiculous.😂
She has been trying to be a singer for a long time she has carved a small niche in the upscale hotels bars ect. Had a lot of work done to make herself prettier. She’s a lovely talented girl but won’t be big like her dad and that’s ok. If it was gonna happen it would have already. She is still talented and lovely and has a great family. What else is there? She really fine tuned her look. Did a great job. Go Alexa !!
Dang, I must be the only one who doesn't think Alexa Ray is pretty or can sing. You can 't please everyone, I guess. New York state of mind and Captain Jack are my 2 favorite Bily Joel songs.
This is the second video I´ve seen of Della Rose with Billy Joel. I don´t understand why she´s "asked"(forced ?) to go on stage. She´s just standing there, doing nothing but holding the microphone. Don´t get me wrong, I know how terrifying this must be, but she´s obviously not ready. Let her decide for herself when she´s ready
How does she need to get over herself? She clearly has a good relationship with her father "a legend" and they are giving a performance together, she has to be confident with her own singing talent or what's the point.
I agree. I don't know why everyone else feels the need for worship. She needs to ride the nepo train for many years to come, or she'll starve. It's just TOO competitive--everyone can't make a living from singing today.
