No.....I'll leave it at that.

TMZ = thirty-mile zone = hollywood
they have a strange way of getting their "news"

seeing Prince's rep for showcasing other black musicians
i'd be quite surprised to see him give up part of the spotlight to joel
the only validity i could see in this is if it was at renato's request

Well, the reason I say it, is because I can't stand Billy Joel, I find his music boring. He might be a good piano player, but I don't like his voice or songs.

I don't think it would be a good matchup since the halftime show is all about energy and some guy sitting at a piano, probably drunk, wouldn't be very entertaining. The only fun I'd have watching it would be hoping he'd fall off his bench.

It's going to look like the Revolution circa 1986 up there.

It's the "We are the World" that never happened!

Yea, they are gonna sing Ebony and Ivory.

VANITYSprisonBYTCH said:

What's he joining Prince on-stage for?
Jeeezz we don't need his crap.

Wait a minute I just read it's Beyonce singing the anthem!

Alasseon said:

Just like Billy can't teach Prince that much about guitar, drums, and bass???
I didn't know he could teach Prince anything about those instruments at all!

LOL... Billy plays guitar. He's doesn't play it much, and rarely in public, but he plays.

Also, Billy is a great composer. He's got a tremendous grasp of music theory. So even if he can't play the guitar or bass or drums at all, he can still translate what he knows on piano to any instrument.

The piano (and keyboard) is called the king of instruments. On it, you can duplicate or approximate the sound of almost every other instrument. If you ever hear Billy Joel break down the structure of an "ordinary" pop song, you will understand how deep his understanding of music is.

Billy Joel also has an increasingly extensive background with classical music.

So, umm, yeah, he might be able to share ideas with Steve Vai and Jaco and Buddy Rich if they were all alive, even if he couldn't duplicate their technique on their respective instruments.

Having said all that, Prince is still da bomb.

You're right....Prince is da bomb.
Fuck a Billy Joel.....

Now it's Shelby Johnson too! Gosh, will there be any space left for the spectators?

if this is the case I will have to turn the channel! why not add Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp while your at it

VANITYSprisonBYTCH said:

This would only be interesting if they are doing "It's Still Rockin' Roll To Me". Other than that I don't see them doing a duet of anyting together.

Well according to wwwBeyonceworld.net She will be singing the national anthem.

According to the offical Super Bowl website, Billy Joel is doing the National Anthem, not Beyonce. I think it's wishful thinking by her fans that she'll have anything to do with the SB.

Arron Neville sang it in 1990 and again last year with Aretha Franklin.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

I'd like to see them do "Big Shot" with Prince's mic not working and Billy Joel singing all of the lyrics.

My wife is a huge Billy Joel fan, so this pairing would suit us well!

What about "We didn't start the fire" which then fades into "Controversy"?...
Just an idea I had

VenusBlingBling said:

i'd rather hear dwight schrute sing that.

I don't think he's going to be performing with Billy Joel.

Serena said:

You have obviously never seen Billy Joel live - one of the top three most exciting live performers in the world in my opinion (Prince being number one, with KISS and Billy Joel a close second and third)

Let's be clear...

#1) There is no way that Prince is going to share his half-time stage with a Billy Joel. That is just too corny and doesn't even make since. He's too much of a pimp for that. Maybe when he's 70 for some type of oldies gig when they're both getting lifetime achievement awards. Until then, nah...

And, #2, let's not be confused, Billy Joel would hand Prince his ass on the piano. He is an extraordinary piano player. Remember, it is his primary instrument and he is a great musician. Let's not get so crazy that we start thinking that Prince can beat everybody out in every instrument at any time. Only place where this is true is on the guitar, as was previously mentioned.

So once again I ask the question.....Why the fuck is Billy Joel joining him on-stage?

dseann said:

Uh, because they are FRIENDS!
Wake up people!
We're talking about the 2 greatest musicians alive!
I'd be expecting them 2 play Ray Charles and James Brown songs!

princeboomer said:

Yes, you're right! I've never seen Billy Joel live and pray to all the gods above and below that I never do.

I don't like KISS either, so you'll have no competition for tickets to either one of their shows from me.
