Julien Smith is as famous as Susan Boyle on Britains Got Talent 2009

[banerjeeashok]

Never thought so much emotion can be evoked with just an instrumental and some power of the lungs to hold the last bit.

[jimmyinmass]

AWESOME !

GOD bless u!!! just amazing!

[JulianOJay]

Hey guy, I'm French and we've got the same first name, I'm so PROUD of you, Julien ! ^^

[ashwinchester]

You ever notice, Simon Cowell kind of only really likes the ones that can sing? If they don't sing, they don't get nearly the reaction out of him. ;P

[gslusher]

@ashwinchester

BS. Simon loved Flawless, DIversity, Aidan Davis, George Sampson, the Mini Mezzos, MD Showgroup, Ben & Becky, Luke & Charlotte, Stavros Flatley, Scott Holtom, Cheeky Monkeys, Boogie Babes and Sophie Mei--all dancers. He also loved Craig Wormersley (baton twirler) and Kate & Gin (canine freestyle), Sue Son and eScala (violinists), Kieron Gaffney (drummer) and Julian.

[ashwinchester]

@gslusher First of all, that's 19 out of MILLIONS that have auditioned, and second I feel sorry for you, that you know all that.

[gslusher]

@ashwinchester

Not "MILLIONS" but a few hundred a year. In 2009, a bit less than 450 actually auditioned. That was more than in any year before, so the total is more like 1,000. There were more dancers (15) in the 2009 semifinals than singers (13--some of whom also danced). (There were 3 instrumentalists & 9 other acts--juggler, dog, ventriloquist, etc.)

Besides, you said that SImon likes ONLY singers. I showed that wasn't true.

BTW, you can find all this out in seconds.

[ashwinchester]

@gslusher Wow you sure think you're clever don't ya?

[ashwinchester]

@gslusher And for the record, I said he KIND OF only likes the ones that can sing. I was just joking, since the last several videos I'd seen were ones in which he buzzed out the ones who didn't sing..you're making a big deal and wasting a lot of energy on something so small.

[RedRoosterbabam]

@ashwinchester Ashwinchester got owned.

[rgb1982]

@gslusher is a fat fag i'd say

[manicame]

he's great forever

[Batidunya]

Yesssss

[tomizking]

Julien will make it as a career. He is a brilliant player! I haven't heard anybody play the sax so good sincw Acker. Well done Julien.

[Dare2meet]

He's Hot!

[dennis123138]

He's Married!

[LADYJANE55]

He is great, I will vote for him.

[seasonsat9nt]

he is hot !!!

[anotheronem]

He is married. ;)

[shelleyriling]

The U.S has a similar feel good story, Donald Braswell came in 4th on AGT last year. On his first audition he came out in a crumpled business suit and the crowd was mocking him like they did Susan and America was worse, they started booing him, but instead of running off the stage, he kept singing and his voice is a God given gift that turned the crowd around to where they were giving him a standing ovation like they did Susan. Check out Your Raise Me Up on Youtube. Susan/Julien are awesome!

[peggysmum]

Thanks for leading me to Donald Braswell. What a singer and what a story.

Cheers!

[YewandeRae]

Thanks for the heads up I watched Donald Braswell, what a spectacularly bad mannered audience!! In Britain booing and jeering is frowned on as poor manners, they almost drowned the poor guy out! Luckily he had the balls to carry on!

Julians sax playingmakes me cry xx

[shelleyriling]

YewandeRae, I'm an American and am ashamed of the crowd's response but very proud of Donald's courage in the face of that negativity to still deliver an awesome performance with his heart. I really love Julian too! To give the spectacular performances he does has to come from the heart also!

[YewandeRae]

Actually if I were a judge on that show Id have stopped him turned to the crowd and siad either shut up and let the man sing or get out now!

They were responsiblr for allowing it to continue and they shouldnt have, how can you judge something with that racket going on?

they behaved like soccer hooligans he should have stood up and cleared the room.

its all about breeding isnt it...... if it were them on stage, well none of them had the balls to do any better! x

[shelleyriling]

YewandeRae, Donald was the last performer of the day and the crowd had seen really bad acts up to his entrance on stage @ 5:30pm. Donald said they were booing him as he walked on stage. What you don't see on the video is that Piers stands up and faces the crowd and motions for them to quiet down which they did and then they could hear Donald and started cheering him. Donald was on a PBS special and shared that with the viewers so I know it is fact. Thank you Piers!

[YewandeRae]

You know its what I would've expected from an Englishman, that's what disappointed me so much, I dont know if he was there for Simon Cowell whose programme it is, but that's why I was so mad! Its the very least I would've expected & Im glad he did that because as you said Donald could not be heard. Booing is so frowned upon in the UK its so not cricket, booing people are ejected for being bad sports,these shows maybe a vehicle to fame but by god they make my skin crawl,

[SmashBr0thers]

look at his eyes at 2:39

[barbi1sky]

Your a good player, but Susan has a talent as a singer.

[cuculeana26]

and is diferent, is'n it?

btw i wait to see him in semifinals!

I was not impresed by Suzan in her's second performance and i was feeling really bad for her, but this is the true in my opinion!

[mcmadlyns]

shows like this do nothing but flood the market with cheap talent

[Blacknarcissa]

Saddos like you watch videos of programs you don't even like.

[cuculeana26]

if you have the occasion please just try to play for 2 seconds and you will see what difficult it is just to made a noise with the saxophone! JUST REMEBER THAT AND TRY-IT!

[tmonkeypunch]

What's this song he actually plays? Anybody?

[Blacknarcissa]

Somewhere - Westside story.

I think.

[tmonkeypunch]

That's right! I knew I heard that song before. My dad's a huge West Side Story fan. Wow, it sounds so much with the sax solo. Thank you!

[wkillinger]

The World Addicted to Negativity! You find em' everywhere. People should take care of their own life negatives before applying them to others...GO Julien your kids deserve it!

[SrintHiiL86]

[ZaraAdam22]

Wow, that was absolutely beautiful. I can listen to it over and over again.

[kelbag07]

You play like my old dad.... so so so beautiful, you too would have sounded like a gift of the gods. My dad played the tenor sax... he would have admired you so much....

[z0ken]

AMAZING!!!!

[Herallddo]

[titofagbenle]

Omdaze

by Kenny G next

he wud definately get through on that

[marshmallow22342234]

KENNY G IS GOD AWFUL.

no one should every play anything by kenny g. hes a disgrace to jazz

[tomicek09]

This is Very Good Job VERY GOOD

[tubebound]

Great job Julian.

[monojo9]

i am admire this guy as i admire susan boyle. he's great. she's awesome

[basssax913]

anyoen who says he wasnt good is freakin retarded

[nikhilmalik62]

anybody who says he is good probably doesnt play an instrument, all the guy was oing was employing a ton of sustain, occasionally mixed with a softer, breathier attack speed.. there was no complexity there. people just think hes inspiring, because of his story and his face.

[djking10XO]

thats not entirely true im a saxophone player guitarist and percussionist and well its true he is not very complex he is simple but but i think hes good just for the simple reason that his music is admiring and so is the way he plays it with great emotion and feeling not very varied but smooth clear and right just the way an instrument is meant to be played

[Gabeybaby7]

one person can only do so much

[shfbdfi1273]

Anybody can do that.

[ryansur]

KENNY G IS BETTER!

[littleMissTrouble10]

he's great :))

[djking10XO]

the guy is amazing is not just hitting the notes right but the emotion the feeling he puts into his instrument truly amazing

[nikhilmalik62]

honestly though, i agree he puts emotion into his music, he achieves that thru sustain. but honestly, its not winner material, or even professional material.he did not demonstrate mastery over his instrument, and even his emotion could have been more complex than single note sustains.

[stvnkmr1]

You wouldn't know an alto sax if you saw one.

[mankbeast]

i get what you are going at but I play the alto saxophone and I think slower music is designed better for it. It may be the same for the soprano. But i don't know how well a fast song would go, plus what is mastery? If mastery is able to play every type of combination possible then he surely didn't do that. But he did show that he could play well which you can't deny.

[marshmallow22342234]

i agree. i wasnt really impressed. i have seen much better sax players

[yellowrose011]

i buy your cd julian, go getem your great.very best of luck too you

[Mill66wall1991]

what is the real song???

[strato46]

the song is "somewhere" from "The West Side Story"

[fatmanwill]
