Tom Odell - Piano Man (Billy Joel cover) Radio 2 Breakfast 

I hope one day, a girl looks at me the way Jeff Goldblum looked at that backing choir ...

Jeff Goldblum looks like he's really in awe of the backing singers!

I think we're all Jeff Goldblum when that choir kick in! 🙏😍🎶🎙️

He certainly did that justice, what a superb rendition of a superb song. Well done.

Just Wonderful, heard this live on the radio this morning and I was blown away.

Tom Odell is such a great musician

Perfection is a hard thing to achieve , but this comes petty damn close what a fantastic job he did on this great song.

Anytime you get Jeff Goldblum looking at you like that you're doing it right.

How bloody good was this!!!!

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! every time I hear it, I convince myself that the tomorrow that awaits us can really be better, if only we all never stop believing it, happiness and good life to all of you 🙌

Has Billy seen this? Is Tom on his radar? What a remarkable cover.

Brilliant live performance of a classic! I love Billy Joel's music and not usually a fan of those that do covers of his songs, but this performance by Tom is amazing!! Wish I could play the piano like that. I love Jeff Goldblum's reaction when the backing singers join in for the first time, his amazement at the sound they provided the song. Five stars *****.

The best, love u Tom from Brazil 💛💚💛💚

This is truly one of the most magical things i have ever heard in my life. I can't talk.

Breathtaking. The kind of performance that makes you fall in love with music again.

I love the original version but I have nothing but respect for Tom after he said he will donate any profits from this cover to charity.

So far the best cover I've seen.

I like Billy Joel and Tom Odell very much. This is a great meet

Please release the performance of “half as good as you” he did that morning. Simply forced me to cry, it was futile to resist the tears. Best live version of that song by far with live choir and would absolutely love to hear it again.

What an amazing performance. Very talented and gifted artist.

Fokin hell man, jaw dropped with the choir and the rendition, dayum!!!

Tom is great, I love him so much! He is gonna be a legend !!!!!!!!!!Thank you Tom!

Absolutely love this. Odell is just a different beast

incredible incredible incredible

I think that this is better than the first time well done Tom ❤😊

My favourite ever cover what a performance

Brilliant version of a classic

Tom always delivers a banging cover!

I happened to hear this at work, this morning. It stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful 😍

lovely Tommy, fantastic choir

A timeless song and a great great performance

can't stop listening this

Loved the backing singers, great cover Tom(Billy Joel fan since the early eighties)

One of my most favourite songs ever!!

Simply stunning.

I fell in love with Billy Joel in the late eighties, he was pulling a string within me that was killing me softly. Tom is tugging at the same string. Listening to him playing Pianoman is my personal overkill.

how much i love him 😍😍

This performance left me feeling alive and happy and when the backing singer sung by themselves i had goosebumps and it was amazing, thank you beautiful so glad Jenna Coleman was late and JLC was such a hoot.

I Love this “Piano Man”😘

Brings a tear to my eye like if you agree

My favorite verson ❤️❤️❤️❤️😮‍💨

A magnificent version of an already great song!

No , no, this is perfect. Like I am willing to think I half expected Jeff Goldblum to be there because why the f not? Jeff is in the weirdest and best places!

Piano Man Billy Joel It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes" La la la, di da da La la, di da da da dum Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me" As the smile ran away from his face "Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place" Oh, la la la, di da da La la, di da da da dum Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you got us feeling alright It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?" Oh, la la la, di da da La la, di da da da dum Sing us a song you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well we're all in the mood for a melody And you got us feeling alright 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I saw Tom Odell when he opened for Billy Joel. Great show.

A masterpiece!

If Jeff Goldblum is in a room, he is the center of attention in that room.

I’ve listened to this over and over again. 💕💕

This is one of Billy Joel's best songs for me.

Great version. Been a Billy freak since 1979

YES IVE BEEN WANTING TOM TO DO A BILLY JOEL COVER

What a beauty.

Love from Portugal, Tom!

I loved the ending, like in the old good times.

Brilliant well done

Ineffable is the word that describes when something is great or extreme to be expressed in words. AKA this song.

Stunning

Love it!

Full body shivers

To be honest, this kinda makes me appreciate the original even more.

We’re seeing Tom in London next week!!

That’s just awesome!

Love Tom Odell

Magnificent!

Ah Tom

Beautiful. I love to see the young kids STILL SING BILLY JOEL AND ALL THE ROCK LEGENDS...AND YES THIS IS ROCK!!

Lovely! ❤️

Joyous x

Amazing!!!

I love piano man with British accent!

❤❤❤

It's fantastic, but he dropped the best line "their sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."

Wow.

It’s not until you here someone else sing the song you realise how good Billy Joel is

Bravo Tom

AMEN to that

Love u Tom xx

Class!
