You rock girl. Tough number to play for anyone, let alone only eight years old. That is amazing. Don't ever stop playing. Not with that talent. I'm really impressed. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Sorry, but this is just awful. She needs to practice more and with a metronome. This song doesn't call for a pedal, either. Just reiterating what her teacher hopefully told her...
Really great! I play piano too, I understand how hard that is! I am 13, and played Moonlight Sonata for people, and they didn't appreciate it! I was really ticked!
Childuftheking, I think your playing is FANTASTIC! I love this video and I just subbed you because of it Keep it up. Ignore the ignorant comments by non-musician trolls. You are a great musician and I really enjoy your vids! Thanks.
why does she put her speedy hand movements to waste by playing piano, those hands would be of far greater use washing dishes, vacum cleaning, or ironing
@TheOneAndOnlyMe92 Not sexist, just practical. besides, i did have something good to say, i complimented her quick hands and advised her of a possible future vocation which may prove successfull for her, im only being kind...
@ESmp40 So you think being a pianist isn't something useful? Do you know how much money pianist can make? A lot more than cleaning houses and washing dishes that's for sure.
@TheOneAndOnlyMe92 Well, usefull to herself yes, but to society? i think not. Now if she were a cleaner, then she'd be benifiting society and the lives of others more then just playing a piano. Now I hope your not going to reply by saying 'oh playing music benifits people because it makes them feel happy and gives them something to listen to etc' because thats just what people say when they are trying to make themselfes sound useful, when really, they arnt haha
Let's give this child credit where due. lt's likely that while all her friends were hanging out on the streets or whatever,she was at home grafting away at the piano. She's probably traded a lot of leasure time to get where she is now. l say well done and good luck to her.
I've been looking for the fast version of this. I've found one by Liberace, and one with VERY poor quality audio. There have been others who ATTEMPT to play up to speed, but none as good as Ms. Sly here. My mistake was in searching for the original performers I see ;P
Excellent, and not uncoordinated at all. Personally I believe the song should be played at a speed comparable to the original Flight of the Bumblebee, as it makes it that much cooler, and that much more technically challenging.
@Shottty101 try 8 year old Emily Bear, she`s awesome fast! And she plays it with great,um, Bumble Bee-ing feeling. "Emily Bear Academic All-Star Salute 5-27-2010" it starts at around 5:55ish
is that a recital? because she should put her hands on her lap then gently put it on the piano keyboard then play. and not flexing her fingers on the piano. that's only done on recitals. just a tip! don't get mad!
Good job! I can play this song, but not quite as quickly as you can! At some parts you sounded like you were using the pedal, and I think that it adds a bit more boogie if you don't. But I loved it! :D
this song really is hard, you have to move the right hand so fast and it's like seven pages long. A good pianist can make it look easier than it is. good job!
Where is the boogie-feeling of the song? It's called bumble bee BOOGIE, not some sort of weird interpretation that makes the left hand totally lame and the right hand sound just really uncoordinated, bleh, in my opinion this performance ruins the song
Ever seen Winifred Atwell playing this. And someone thinks this is a bit fast. You aint seen nothing nothing until dear old Winnnie lets her fingers do the talking on her famos honky tonk piano plus Liberace. This girl is superb !!
Wow!! I love it!! Ever since i was a kid and I saw a disney carton called "Bumble bee rock" and it was this version of it! Most cool playing you got a great talent!!
i love the tune Bumble Boogie and i have watched all the versions on youtube and i have to say, next to the Jules Holland one, this is the best for getting the feel of the piece, as well as getting the rise and fall and emotion almost spot on.
right on, keep up the good work. my advice is listen to Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis as much as possible and practice with a metronome or good drummer whenever you can.
