I heard jokes about his driving after he crashed into somebody's house (IIRC) but not about his music. I like some of his stuff but I think he got some criticism a few decades ago because he dumped his wife (or GF?) after he released "I Love You Just the Way You Are".
-
while not being his greatest fan his earlier work was not to bad ...just his later stuff left me feeling cold, and you'll find that those who bag him often have musical tastes in their arse's ...so please forgive them as they know no better...dude!!!

People make fun of him? I'm not aware of that. Personally I like some of his songs:
-
He has definitely gone down hill and I think it has to do with his drinking. Don't know if he's recovering now, but he really had some problems as a result of his drinking.
-
I've liked him since Piano Man...
-
Hmmm. I dont know who Billy Joel is. is he the one from good charolette?
-
Well, I think jealousy is the reason. He doesn't suck. Not my favorite, but he is obviously a skilled, talented and inspired songwriter, composer and singer. I don't want to believe that people think he sucks because he doesn't talk about the white man keeping him down- and what gangsta is going to pop some cop with his nine. You may not like Billy Joel- but you have to respect him. He's been in the business too long- made way too much money to be someone who "sucks." Now you've got to admit- he is a bug-eyed wop from New Jersey- maybe that's why they make fun of him. But anyone who thinks his music sucks knows nothing about the music business. Period.

Because Pop Stars are often easy targets. His success is undeniable and his songwriting and piano playing are really stellar. Lately, his drinking and driving have really made him appear to be an ass, and I am so disappointed in my musical idol for that very reason. It could be attributable to that.

You know, I always wents with girlfriend to the 3 Billy shows. Guys just said to me anyway" chick band" all the girls are singing along. Too many love songs, what ever, He was amazing and now, my guy will listen to his duet with Ray Charles, my baby grand....but I don't know. I sure thought he was sexy.. and oh, yeah, the girls were all over it, back in the day, He's not that really cute, but that NY thing..oh yeah.

I can think of a LOT of performers who suck. Billy Joel wouldn't be among them. You have to take those kinds of criticism with a grain a salt, since there is no certified instruction that qualifies anyone to be a music critic. You just have to know how to shoot off your mouth and be willing to look like a snob.
-
Critics think he is an embarrassment and mockery to pop and rock music,but I would have to disagree. I think he is a great musician who deserves all the credit he can get. I'm not sure why so many hate his work.
-
He knows how to write a "hit" song by putting in a "hook". He has no real style of his own but copies various styles of others. His piano playing is mediocre. I do give him credit for being able to tap into what the general public wants. That is a rare talent indeed.
-
I don't make fun of Billy Joel but I don't like his music. The other day a song of his came on and I REALLY gave it an honest try but I could not get into it. Some people don't like chocolate or country music either, oh well.
-
Who even brings up the topic? I have always enjoyed his music, but I have never had occasion to discuss him with anyone. ???? . Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa" And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound I have charted a course to the Vineyard But tonight I am Nantucket bound http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/The-Downeaster-Alexa-lyrics-Billy-Joel/AB0A755BDDC9E59048256870001F1792
