Vennagram #3: Just the Way You Are (Bruno Mars vs Billy Joel)

There's an old old saying that is nearly forgotten, "Be yourself" and "Don't ever change." And these songs help us remind us these, specially to someone we love. And that's why I choose this topic for today. These two songs have a way with how to convince a girl to be herself. But who has the better approach to this. Let's find out.

In Bruno Mars's Version, the guy complements the girl that she is beautiful to him. But she doesn't believe him. So he tells she really beautiful and ask her not to change the way her looks.

In Billy Joel's Version, the girl the singer is referring to wants to change her looks to please her lover probably because she thinks he doesn't love her anyone. But the guy tells her that no matter how much she change, he will always take her by being herself.

Now let's contrast:

Similarities	Bruno Mars's Version	Billy Joel's Version
Both are a relationship to the girl.	He is somewhat flirting with her.	He has a deeper relationship with her.
Both are dedicated to the girl.	He will always stay be her side to cuddle her.	He would leave her in a bad situation.
They are both convincing the girl to not change...	...for she is already beautuful to him.	...for he will still take her as she is.
A notable instrument can be heard.	Piano	Saxophone

To me, I think I like the Billy Joel's Version better for the reason that it represents a strong relation between the two couple (to be together for better or for worst), which make it more romantic to me. The Bruno Mars's Version is okay too but it's better to sing this when you're dating a girl and you want to flatter her. Some wise, the Billy Joel's Version could be sang to you're fiance or to your wife because of its deeper meaning.

With that said, you can check out this two songs below:
