Just so we're clear, the marquees will read "Jyqm, featuring Amber," right?

No, seriously,
People will be like "Jih-quim?" "Jickem?" "???"

Yeah, that's fine. Everyone always pays more attention to the girl anyway. Start planning the specific way you will bitch when someone asks me to do a solo album. Or when the paparazzi ignores you, even though you are standing right next to me. "I MADE her what she is!!!!"

Where do I get my ticket..

[Richard B]

Another tough choice on this round. I'm not particularly fond of either piano player, but they both have amazing songs and careers. So now I start thinking who has the edge here for me. BJ has some unforgettable tunes like My Life, Big Shot, Just The Way You Are, You May Be Right, New York State of Mind and of course It's Still Rock and Roll To Me. His newer stuff, like EJ, I can not stand.
When I think of EJ, I think of Nikita, I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues, Sad Songs, Your Song, Daniel, Little Jeannie, and always loved I'm Still Standing. His early stage theatrics was kinda funny in a clownish way and I never took him that seriously growing up.

So with all this in mind...I'm voting the Billy Joel.

Look, when the karaoke bar first called and asked us to perform, they only wanted me! They said that their old regular - Fat Andy, who used to sing "Closing Time" by Supersonic at the end of the night every Saturday - couldn't stand up under his own power anymore so they needed somebody else to take his place. And I said sure, but can Amber come along too? And they were all like, "I don't know, man, we really don't need another chick, we already got this one girl who comes in and does this 'Bette Davis Eyes'-'Walking After Midnight' medley," and I was all like, "Hey, Amber comes too or it's no deal," and then they were like, "Fine fine, geez, don't be such a hard-on, man," so if it weren't for me you wouldn't even be on the bill!

Who works so that you can even go to the karaoke bar?? Who buys your drinks? Who slaves away at the restaurant while you sit at home practicing your "choreography"?

[Moony]

God, I hate them both. But I hate Billy Joel even more. So, here's to you, Elton.

Look, just stop being difficult! You're such a diva! This is worse than the time you stormed out of the bar just because I threw the "Songs Listed by Artist" book at you.

[DavidMn]

Just as a suggestion, a couple of rap stars the next round?

Nevertheless - we do sound great on the harmonies in "We Built This City".

elton. for tiny dancer. although his don't stop is to kill for. I mean hang him for. In the largest tree one can find.

[jannieC]

This was a hard one. I do love Billy Joel (I'm from Long Island and everyone from LI loves Billy Joel, I think), but Goodbye Yellow Brick Road pretty much IS my childhood. So many good songs. So, even though Elton wasn't the songwriter, I'm giving him my vote.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

Billy Joel! All the way...

[ontheEdgeof17]

I with with Mr. John.


The outfits. The music. He is a legend.
