Billy Joel found a new “Uptown Girl” — one who was born long after that classic 1983 single became one of his biggest hits — at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. That would be Olivia Rodrig…
And, fittingly, Rodrigo joined Joel to sing both “Deja Vu” and “Uptown Girl” for some in the audience who were old enough to be her grandparents. But there were surprisingly more people in the crowd who knew the words to sing along to “Deja Vu” than you might have expected. Meanwhile, Joel smiled and nodded approvingly from his piano bench.
“I love her music — and so do my kids,” said Joel from his revolving piano as he introduced the three-time Grammy winner. And after letting Rodrigo have all of the spotlight on “Deja Vu,” Joel got up from his piano and joined her for an “Uptown Girl” duet that was fizzy fun. It proved just how much the 73-year-old’s music transcends generations.

It was almost as if he was letting New York know that he wasn’t about to be the irrelevant old guy in his own house.
