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

[joshcurrie]

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

[amustard]

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

[martspatterson]

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.

[terrystapley]

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

[luisteps]

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 🙌

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

[matthewgardner]

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

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.

[garymclellan]

Very talented and gifted artist.

[EvilDogProductions]

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

[lucyfoster]

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

[przemysawdziak]

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

[lucysky]

Absolutely love this. Odell is just a different beast

[jmac]

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

[Lnitedave]

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