I AM DISAPPOINT! >:|

[frentsonlee]

u used minecraft song =D

[ART1E057]

@frentsonlee what

[Jamaicobs]

@frentsonlee

What has any of this got to do with Minecraft?

[gta4szakis]

You are not the First :(

Sad thing :(

In my view this is the first =)

[sjl0523]

@gta4szakis Yeah, I still can't believe that freakin sock puppet won.

[12multiraven]

Dad I'm hungry." "Nice to meet you hungry!" "Dad, I'm serious..." "I thought you were hungry?" "Are you kidding?!" "No, I'm Dad." :|

[Ringthehedgehog]

@12multiraven

1. what?

2.wtf

3. what does this have anything to do with the video?

4. why did you post that here

5. this is strange

my 5 reasons why this comment should not be here and makes no sense.

[DougRattmann]

I love Doug Rattmann sooo much, I changed my name.

:-)

[SpaceRazzer]

Very nice! :)

[lampyish]

I always cry when I hear this song... idk why :)

[randommusicify]

What is wrong with being adopted

[ps3hater221]

@randommusicify have you played portal 2 its a running joke

[randommusicify]

@ps3hater221

Wheatley: You have no parents, cause you are adopted!

GLaDOS: What is wrong with being adopted?

Wheatley: Well..erhmm.. I don't know....

[Ldinos]

you should write PORTAL2NATIONALEXILE in the title too.

[Neptunequeen42]

@IISilverSoul24II YES. And Caroline is her mother, who was always bitter about Cave adopting a daughter. Thus, GLaDOS's hatred.

[KillerX3189]

@Neptunequeen42 Actually, it is unconfirmed Caroline adopted or has any related to Chell. Caroline IS GLaDOS though. An AI with the personality of Caroline, which was given under Cave's request as he passed away from drinking grinded moon rocks.

[Neptunequeen42]

@KillerX3189 Oh, I know it's not confirmed. But it would still make sense if Chell was Cave's daughter. You know that she at least had a parent who worked in the lab, because when you're going through the 'bring your daughter to work day' exhibit with the potato batteries, the last display is very clearly signed by Chell.

[Jamaicobs]

@Neptunequeen42

You do know there was probably at least 5000 or more people working in such as huge facility. Plus, Cave was already dead and Caroline was already put into GLaDOS, so who would have brought Chell to the "bring your daughter to work day?" If Chell had to be related to ANY of the main characters in portal it would be the ratman, but even that's unlikely

[Jamaicobs]

@Neptunequeen42

Also why would she be adopted?

[IISilverSoul24II]

Chell Johnson

[IISilverSoul24II]

@SuperHappyRobertTime It's the Portal 2 comic, it's in the extras section.

[1jim3bob]

Saw this video. Immediatly favourited.

[runetimon]

Any one else playing snake while videos are rendering? no? hmm...

[SuperHappyRobertTime]

whats that comic dude did u draw it?

[1jim3bob]

@SuperHappyRobertTime If you look on the portal 2 extras, you'll find out. Also, you probably havn't got the game. Please prove me wrong.

[SheosMan117]

If you don't win, I may just have to go burn down some houses. With lemons.

[j0KKKer]

I hope you win man...

[JorshItUp]

I love it! It really captures the song. But, as a note, open the console and type "crosshair 0" in future! :P

[cynergene19]

According to my friend, the National's lead singer looks like Doug... just a thought

[Popcultureguy3000]

Amazing! I'm so glad I subscribed to you. If I hadn't I may have never seen this brilliant contest entry.

[Ptiteigne]

Magnificent, You should win! 5 people are so stupid...

[MrFlyingAmoeba]

I love Valve and how they've inspired all these wonderful contest entries.

[Jamaicobs]

If you love this song to bits like me, and you play the piano, then you must check out his site (just remove the spaces :P)

[Lindontt]

Brilliant. U should win

[mooshlovely27]

Gasp!

[GameGlitcher94]

taioo i love this so much, thanks for playing this amazing piece

[XycronClawX]

IM GOING TO KILL 4 PEOPLE!!

[Ganzicus]

10/10

[whiteboii1017]

You should win!

[Ldinos]

you can turn off the cosshair by writing in the console "crosshair 0" :)

[earthigan]

Damn, I hope you win.

[ZeddyThaMaster]

That's a hell of a video/song! great song, great pianist

[runetimon]

I just listen to this for the beauty of the song, not because it has anything to do with portal, portal 1 & 2 are great btw.

and however it is one of the best songs i ever heard, i think it doesn't realy fit in portal. portal is more about weird sounds and songs. and this one is just... beatifull.

[Jamaicobs]

is it just me or is 2:13 another moon reference valve tried to smuggle in (as the lift goes up it looks like a half moon)

[TheMrBayn]

I reflected briefly on this piece of art.

[OrionisBeta]

Wow, that was excellent. You definitely captured the feeling that the song was meant to have, while still staying with the Portal feel. Thank you for making this, I definitely hope you win. You deserve it.

[Eman299288]

Taioo your music just makes me cry. I love it! Your videos, your channel deserves more and more viewers. You are a true artist and we all appreciate and love your work. Thank you for giving use the gift of your music.

[Exitou]

I want you to win so much this is really good!

[Tomanecicacenek]

you should win! i seriously doubt others made piano and violine covers like you..

[JaxonSheppard97]

I can't stop watching this its so amazing thumbs up if you came to tears

[XycronClawX]

im pretty sure that this video is so perfect that if you dont win ill kill myself

[aarondogman97]

i cried, you are so good at making videos to go with the perfect song! i love you taioo!

[88FingersEddward]

This is incredible! It really is! I do hope you win; this entry has everything. Very good timing with the visuals as well - I got chills when Caroline's face overlapped with the clip of GLaDOS' head being dragged across the floor. Bravo.

[JaxonSheppard97]

Oh my god portal 2 is won of my favorite games and this brings it all together in such a beautiful way! Way to friggin go man!

[Decpeachyboy]

This song makes me think of Wheatly, stuck on the moon like that.

...And princess Luna to an extent...

[MicahSmart]

Insta-sub. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen that relates to Portal, Valve, heck, even video games. Amazing.

[OriginalAlphathewolf]

This is what everyone should be looking up to. It is original while staying with Portal 2, it's not over the top, and there is a gentleness to the changes of scene and things being seen that is very much needed with this song. So many other entries I have viewed have missed the point of this slow song and are just putting in gameplay clips or going off on a whole new idea with barely any relation to Portal. The blending of scenes here is perfect and winning material I believe.

[Taioo]

@OriginalAlphathewolf

thank you! :)

[wowddo]

@OriginalAlphathewolf faceofdoomness?

[BluePi1313]

Just a question, How can you not win???? Im serious, I really think you will be the winner :)

[freecake1]

this game has one of the best stories evar . . .

[Anthony42ly]

No other word

it's just beautiful

[Robotgangsta]

I want a Portal movie. Better yet, I want a movie completely on the Half-Life and Portal universe.

[Raklryja]

I haven't paid much attention to this contest. But then I saw this in my sub box, and I clicked on it, because I know your stuff is worth watching

[beepzoo]

This is fantastic.

I hope this wins. Good Luck in the contest!

[BluePi1313]

Lol i just have 2 learn how to hit the chord on the third measure.

[easytobuild518]

Wow. Even I could not do this good on the piano. Even if I can play it, I could not do the comics and the clips. Good Luck.

[DangerousMuteLunatic]

F**KIN' PERFECT. Actually, I'm making a movie based on (read: ripping off) the portal comic, any suggestions?

[ProfessorRuthiie]

This is beautiful, absolutely stupendous. The clips are edited together so brilliantly, it really gives a flow to the music's emotion. And of course, your piano skills are a great addition to your entry~

Your talent never fails to impress me, and i wish you the very best of luck in the contest.

[Redbulldog98]

Great Video. Makes me feel pretty sad knowing there's a chance they wont make portal 3..... But I REALLY REALLY want them to keep going in this series.

Great job. You did a great job capturing the feel of all the desperate fans :)

[Favre4ever123]

Incredible video. Awesome editing. Your definitly gonna win something for this.

[Taioo]

Thanks everyone! =D

[GRTart]

that's a win.

[jerrydude101]

I hope you win. Good luck.

[ZOmbiesXXShooTers]

the world Has To Come to an end and that is By you Breaking our Hearts...

[killthenerd5]

[YokonAA]

YOU MUST WIN! YOU DESERVE IT SO MUCH :D

[4thDimensionOfArt]

Amazing! ^^ Good luck in the contest!

[Fumblepuff]

You must win this!

[mediafire09]

Absolutely amazing!

[WindScar48]

Good GlaDOS, this is so beautiful. Hope you win!

[vangel4e]

THIS SUCKS!!!!

Nahh just kidding :P

This is perfect and I seriously hope you win, you have my vote! :)

[yony121]

Great job !

[DarkMajesty100]

We all hope you win 'couse you deserved it :)

[imonyourfacewoot]

How strange... I've just bought Portal yesterday, and I first heard The National yesterday too... wow.

[Flowersim]

*cries*

So beautiful...

[neoneoz4]

where did you get the comic clips?

[EDEDDEDDY9]

@neoneoz4 Before Portal 2 was released,well During the week of Release,IGN Put up some Portal comics.So that MIGHT be where he got them.There might be another site with those comics,and that could be where he got them.

[Dr33mcrusher]

Awesome as allways, the only time i would get suprised would be if you once did something bad or mainstream.

[deogrou]

Oh god, I sooo hope you win to be honest, this is the best I've seen so far! From the moment I had discovered your videos I was amazed, so I subscribed right away, but I never thought you'd enter this comment and make such an awesome entry!

This is simply Perfect! :)

I really hope you win, good luck!

[Alexandterrara]

This is wonderful, although I think there is a bit too much overlaying

[easytobuild518]

Good luck!

[360guyftw]

THIS IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I FUCKING LOVE YOU MAN

[lameowizard]

you deserve to win.

[Tomoc7667]

Perfect as always ;)

[nullic1]

you are too good to lose,

 good luck

[HL2EpThree]

Personally... I think you won. :) Even if they don't choose you. I'm still making my video, but I can't imagine it being better than yours. xD You're wonderful. You play beautiful and you totally deserve to win this video contest :) God bless!

[TheGTRacer97]

EPIC video dude (if i'd have to look for something to complain it'd be that the piano-playing's timing is a little bit off of the actual music, but i don't wanna complain, so...oh...wait...)

[DragonFire381]

Absolutely brilliant! There's definitely something wrong with the world if you don't win! <3

[emfolkerts]

you got this in the bag!

[UtterlyMoot]

fantastic. I hope you win. Your videos are always great and if you win that guitar..you can start posting guitar videos for us :P

Also.. I'm honestly surprised there are no ratman themed ones. My first thought for a music vid with this song would be about ratman, alone, coddling the radio, finding things to paint with

[darklol261]

@UtterlyMoot there is one other one

[DrVFries]

If we all thumb up and favorite. He might have better odds.

[Lostinblue777]

This is absolutely amazing. Just everything about it: the editing, your playing, the clips and pics...all are just simply amazing. I really hope you win. *crosses fingers for good luck*

[Taioo]

@Lostinblue777

@wtfzombiesftw

Actually I'm not playing the piano nor singing here, that's part of the song, though I was really playing this song when I recorded the piano part. The only thing I did was the video =)

Thanks anyway!

[AlmostAGamer]

@Taioo You win. Forget all the other entries. Don't even say it. You just fricken win.

[kazoodac]

@Taioo saying "the only thing you did" isn't giving you enough credit. Not only are you a fantastic musician, but your editing skills and passion for something worth working for are amazing as well. keep up the great work. Watching your videos are an inspiration.

[TheDrumStickPolicy]

@Taioo can you create a cover of you playing just the piano? like you usually do

[wtfzombiesftw]

Really great video, with awesome editing, and of course great skills on the piano. Those judges would've made a horrible mistake if they don't pick you.

[MrTidgemo]

amazing..best of luck!

[aBloodyMonk3y]

:O Loved this! Especially the parts the close up on you playing the piano andwhere your hands are just part of the background. It just felt really classy. All of this was amazing and you are awesome. Hope you win the contest!

[laserbeahm]

This is amazing! You should win!

[XxXKIMM3HXxX]

Good luck man!! Hope you win ;)
