She's always going to be compared to her parents. Which I think is ridiculous because she looks nothing like her mother in any way and she'll be compared to her dad. How do you try to stack up to the piano man? She's in a no win situation. I think she has talent but not on her dad's level. She does sing this song better than he does though

If I wrote a song and my daughter sang it like this I would be weeping tears of joy. It's hard to play an instrument and sing at the same time. For being the daughter of someone as famous as Billy Joel, it must take tremendous courage to know that every note you sing is being scrutinized and judged, and yet, Alexa Ray is having such a great time singing this song and putting her heart into each note that she sings. I really love this rendition.

I dislike its use at weddings, as if you listen to the words, it is about someone whose deep love for another is not recognized. Therefore, her more bluesy style fits it perfectly.
