No longer alone

Posted by Sari

I have been mocked over and over again for my Billy Joel habit, Our DJ friend Hauta Blommila and Jukka* have been calling me Billy Joel's only Finnish fan, and Hauta even dedicated a Billy Joel song he played on national radio to "Sari in Valimo". But behold the power of Idols: the winner of last night's semi's Ari Koivunen sang Billy's "Piano Man" and now (Friday night) that song is number one in Finnish iTunes. So there!

Also, I wonder how many sold copies will get you on that bestseller list...

* I have to own up that even though Jukka mocks me, he also bought me a 4-cd limited edition Billy Joel's Complete Hits collection. He is sweet that way :-)

You have never been alone. I like Billy Joel too! And Ari rocks.

Heh! And now Kristian, who has been pals with Ari sang Billy Joel's "Entertainer" and won his semi. I suspect cooperation. Maybe somebody will sing next the most melodramatic Vietnam-song ever "Goodbye Saigon". The Helicopter Rotors! The Angst! They met as soulmates on Parris Island and left as inmates from an asylum. God, I was into this when I was fourteen and the world was a cruel, cruel place and nobody understood how I felt :-)
