David Archuleta's version and rendition of the the song is way a lot better than original and very much heartfelt with all due respect. David's interpretation of the song penetrates the soul. He is simply incredible and absolutely flawless.

The best idol ever, Archuleta...what amazing voice..you do not get tired listening him..he has a great voice, does not matter that producers and simon fixed the show for Cook...Archuleta is the winner of that season and they did a big mistake that may 21/08, the world saw that David Archuleta won tha competition, making AI a unfair show.

Even though it seemed like Simon was on drugs. He was just careful not to give David the upper hand. David sang this song superbly. It was all planned for cook to win because simon's people from England do not consider David "all" american. That British idol group should have been fair and honest with David. They misled him and selected this particular song with hidden messages that he would not be the winner. At least according to their twisted agenda. They shouldn't have been bias.

Agree with the comments that no one beats Billy Joel. Interesting, I was thinking he pulled off Chris Brown better than Billy Joel. Come on, I can see Billy sitting at the piano with a lit cigarette after a few beers singing this. So as much as I love David, I think this was one of his weaker moments. But not his fault, it's Paula's fault. What was she thinking? Not a song for a 17 year old kid. I will always think of this as a missed opportunity to hear something more current.

Seriously?? I'm only 27, but I get so frustrated with Gen Y musicians who feel as though the only way to sing is to go rouge on virtually every note. A deviation from the printed material should be saved for particular emphasis. The way artists like this use improvisation pretty much takes away all of the importance.

The song as Joel composed it is simple, in the style of a hymn, which exposes the virtuosity (or lack thereof) of the singer's voice. Showboating it, like this kid did, completely defeats the purpose.

Honestly, you think this is an intelligent rebuttal to my statement? You're the one who looked through several pages to try and come to his defense. The kid has good vocals but zero musical talent. He has no original sound, nor will he have any of his own original music. In all likelihood, he'll be on the VH1 show "where are they now?" when 2020 rolls around. I was watching the video because I missed the show, and I was comparing the performances. Why the hell else would I subject myself?

What the...? It sounded almost unrecognizable. Way too much embellishment for me. I don't think of Billy Joel as a particularly great singer, but I much prefer his straight-forward delivery of this exquisite song. His version touches my heart. Sometimes it's just best to exercise the K.I.S.S. concept -- keep it simple, stupid.

Completely and utterly fails to capture the feeling in the song. I swear to God 99% of the people in this world, especially now with the social media generation, have no understanding of emotional resonance or the subtleties behind it. This guy is a voice machine. Technique, control. clarity, all good. Not a drop of soul within him. Horrible.

See, this forum is open to my thoughts and comments. Don't be angry because you are part of the reason his father beats him. Don't be angry that he may win this competition then make one album and disappear like Clay Aiken. Archuletta is not a talented musician. He's a talented vocalist who can only sing music he's given. He'll never write anything of his own, or contribute anything musically outstanding.
