As a pianist, I don’t get how Sedo was 1 and Summer was 5. I get Sedo chose a harder piece, but I feel Summer had better musicality and technique, and was more confident. Sedo also had flat fingers. I think people just chose him because he played a popular classical piece that everyone thinks is like the hardest piece out there.

Piano girl (Summer) here! Working musician as well (composer, studio + touring pianist / keyboardist). The piece you heard me play was an original classical crossover composition of mine (“JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh… not v accessible, but if you want to hear it in full, it’s on Spotify / iTunes etc.). I participated because I wanted to see if TwoSet would react to it (and they did, so it was worth it imho), get some feedback on my original work, maybe catch the eye of some music directors, and also bc I’m a masochist apparently, lmfao.

@@kristin123a Yeah, I agree. Plus that piece, as a pianist myself, isn't the hardest piece. I would say it's challenging, but a bit overrated. Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsodies and Chopin's harder Etudes are quite impressive if played well. It's very similar to that one violinist Twoset reviewed. Like it's not about playing fast, but how sharp and clear the notes are. Are there dynamics? Did you practice? But he didn't even get the notes correct. I mean anyone could run with the pedal on the piano and just kind of like whiz La Campanella for example, but it's when the notes are played clearly and with proper emotion and with all of these things sped up, but not removed which defines the skill at which the piece was played.

Sorry Roomie but as a pianist i have to strongly disagree that the guy played good piano - he played a relativly hard piece very badly. The girl was obviously much better at piano. Not even close.

Aw, thanks for the kind words. The piece I played was an original composition “JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh (on Apple Music, Spotify, KZread, etc. if you want to hear the full piece). That said, I’m a very small time composer + pianist, so there definitely was no recognizability or “accessibility” factor with my music as there was with Sèdo’s performance. Funny thing, I debated playing Fantasie lmpromptu (or Liszt’s Lieberstraume No. 3) as I still have parts of both pieces memorized from my classical pinnacle over a decade ago (I’m now a studio/touring musician and rarely play classical anymore), but then Sèdo went before me and played the Chopin selection, so I decided on the fly to play one of my originals instead :)

I think people just connect to the La La Land song emotionally. If someone would have played The River Flows in You they would have all ranked them #1.

Maybe you're right... But everybody was free to choose to play whatever, and convey emotions to the audience while trying to display their talent... And even with a butchered piece (which I obviously couldn't notice even though I've heard it many times before), I did feel his emotions more than the others' emotions 🤷🏾‍♀️. I guess it's easier when you're not a professional... Joel said that 1 and 2 were more accessible to an average audience and I agree. I'm average. I thought they were the more enjoyable to listen to, and if I could only replay one, it would be the Fantaisie Impromptue. (:

I think that one “multi instrumentalist” guy is wrong, because most people we consider talented and successful are known for slaying ONE instrument in particular. Think Travis barker, slash, yo yo ma, Mozart etc. I’m sure they can play multiple instruments but they are known for one specifically.

It was cool to hear him say that he sees someone as more talented when they do one thing really well instead of multiple things. I’ve played piano for 12+ years but I’ve always wanted to play other instruments and always thought what I did was super boring. But my reason for wanting to play other instruments is more of wanting to understand how those instruments work together in a band setting and see how I can make my piano blend in better with them.

Very often being the most talented isn’t what brings success. Imho It’s the determination and refusal to quit even when it seems it’s not worth to keep going.

The part where he sang swedish got me.

I feel like it comes to how good you can improvise or use whatever you have to make good music that makes you talented. I can sing and play piano, drums, guitars, and bass but I still get super amazed at some people that only showcase one of those and own the song they play.

Wait so blue haired guy said this was his first week of playing, and ranked himself 1/2?😂😂😂🥺

Maybe controversial opinion, but art (of any kind) is highly subjective. YES, there is technical skill involved. HOWEVER, in terms of intent and connection; I think it is important to let the consumer just have their own perception (first at least). Regardless of the artists intent, everyone has their own life experiences that feed into it equally, if not more.

what's the best way to request reactions? i feel like Joel would LOVE citizen queen's singing stuff on tiktok

My personal belief 1. Purple shirt piano - she had the most expression in her playing. The dynamic contrast, the varying emotions, and the fact that the piece she played is way more difficult than it sounds. 2. Black shirt guitarist and singer - the singer had good timbre, tone, intonation, and the song itself, while simple was perfectly executed 3. Drummer - basic beat with fairly simple fills but he executed it perfectly and confidently and kept the tempo which is super important for drummers. 4. Other pianist - while the piece he chose was super hard, it wasn’t that well executed. There was too much pedal, sloppy and non fluid runs, and occasional short pauses which I feel some didn’t notice. But the fact he could play Chopin at an okay level is enough to put him in the fourth spot 5. Multi instrumentalist - ngl that cello playing was kinda bad. It had pretty poor tone and sounded like an amateur musician. The guitar was good, and that last instrument didn’t really seem like anything to me. Just like a little quirky thing to add another instrument. 6. Blue hair - his voice had pitch fluctuations and his expression was meh. The piano was basic chords almost anyone could play in a couple days. Overall very amateur and lacking in demonstrating actual skill. From a former pianist and current trumpet player

I think what being talented truly means is the ability to know which technique / knowledge to use on the fly to invoke whatever feeling you want from your audience. Like a chef, you can imagine how your food will taste like just by looking through your pantry Example: I wanna make my audience feel excited, I should add this discard that change tempo change genre change runs change rifts change composition and so on

As a singer who also plays many instruments, I have to point out my own reason for playing multiple instruments: to be able to make a whole song by yourself, without being dependent on other people. I mean it's pretty frustrating if you have something in your head, but you can only sing. If you don't have any musician friends, what do you do? socialize? pfff! :D . Also, singing on stage is -for me- very vulnerable, you can't really hide behind your mic... and if you dance like a fridge... it's pretty handy to know the guitar, or any instrument, and be able to hide behind it when you (don't) sing (much easier than grow your self confidence ^^" )
