  • THAT WAS THE WORST ACT IN THE SEMI FINALS THAT WASENT EVEN KEYBOARD PLAYING AMANDA AND PIERS JUST ARE ANNOYING TO SIMON

  • He starts out groovin' but just can't get that triplet on (or in) the right beat

  • W-wait...on Britain's Got Talent, is Piers the NICE judge? SO CONFUSED.

  • @ChaosRocket

    No, he's a dick.

  • Jesus Christ I expected a better appreciation of Irony from a British Audience!

    This was one of the most hilarious performances I've ever seen!

  • all the actual musicians all over the world just /wrists

  • poor guy they recognize his age but still insult and discourage him. there where so much hypocrites and such nasty offensive stupid embical britanic rednecks there that it was the most nasty view in the world.

  • @belenstudent1 ...what does that even?

  • Best DJ i ever seen.

    Worst i Ever heart.

  • I love that he has a book called "how to play keyboards" with him on stage. That's hilarious!

  • Piers is enjoying himself

  • Im pretty sure this guy purposely plays bad as a kind of irony

  • he came back with vengence....... and a UFO

  • rofl the man got no rhythm

  • the poor guy

  • I was on this show when he was on there and before i went for the result i had to sit with him all day.

    And he never gives up, why doesnt someone just tell him how bad he is.

    he was showing me some music diploma of some kind and talent shows he was entering one named festival 4 stars.

    which was a big joke quite frankly.

  • Whether intentional or not, this represents some classic anti-humor (check it in wiki). He could be a comedic genius; otherwise, completely round the twist.

  • SIMON GOT OWNED!

  • Mother fucking beef yo... He might be darth vader underneath his skin!

  • I just finished watching his audition. To me, and it's just my opinion, a real good musician doesn't have tp have music in front of him. I don't know of any others on the show who had music books in front of them.

  • Michael: I have a diploma in music.

    Simon: And?....

  • I like the origanal theme thank thanks, this guy's theme is OK I guees

  • where can i find mp3 of this?

  • Comment removed

  • The uploader said " I have no idea why they let this guy through, but he entertains me." yes u do no y they let him though then

  • keyboard is the worst sounding instrument ever...it takes a symphony and shits on it

  • I'm just picturing his playing that again but with a trollface edited over his actual face...

  • What a legend

  • Simon is a little bit too harsh

  • The audience sounds like a flock of seagulls! LOL

  • I sold him Beer today in my shop. Not even messing, he comes in all the time in a karate outfit. He's going up a grade soon apparently.

    Seriously, you can't make this shit up.

  • he is going way to fast and not keeping up with the beat, i dont blame simon

  • You know you have a shitty act when the audience agrees with Simon.

  • Epic troll.

  • @th3warr1or

    He's not trolling because he genuinely believes he's awesome at what he does.

  • A metronome would be useful for him!

  • they should bring him back!

  • why was he playing the chorus so fast ?

  • He's completely and utterly deluded :D I love Simon

  • unique rendition - crap

  • I went to college with him & he was every bit as shit as he sounds there. Nobody wanted him in the bands because he couldn't hold a tune for toffee. Plus he was always so full of himself that he was amazing. The bit where he says he got a Diploma in music, I think he just scrapped it & it was a First Diploma which was at GCSE level. Can't believe they let him to the Semi Finals, even if it was just to piss Simon off.

  • @WingsOfADarkAngel He recorded a CD. It's just... yeah... His cover of Super Trooper includes a bit of Mary had a Little Lamb, which he makes a mistake on. The Star Wars cover on it is oddly enough WORSE than this. It starts out sounding like a decent soundtack to a sitcom, then a badly done cover of Star Wars bursts from nowhere. He plans to return to the show, with his son.

  • simon looks like chewbacca

    he has even the same voice

  • What does the guy say after he says "Yes I'd like to reply" at 5:52?

  • Nice bit of hair dye in time for the semi finals..

  • he's literally on a spaceship .__.

  • idk but nerds piss me off...

  • lol at 6:28. darth vader the second

  • I want him playing to my wedding dance.

  • Wow again. You can blame the guy, if i were to go on that kind of show I would also play Star Wars. Simon just doesn't like Star Wars. He's probably a Trekkie. Ha, just kidding, I'm a Trekkie. But he probably hates John William, but then again Michael didn't think that the Star Wars Theme was good enough for him.

  • Keyboard Troll meets Judge Trolls - instant match. xD

  • He needs a metronome....

  • The other judges just like to fuck with Simon

  • The thankfully rare keyboard troll.

  • Audience are a bunch of fuckwits, just let him do his act.

  • What is the audience chanting after he plays?

  • @BonesxtoxPaste "OFF! OFF! OFF! OFF!"

  • @iheartchuxx Ah, yes. I hear it now. Thank you my good man/woman.

  • The awesome thing about Simon is how few fucks he gives.

    Weird guy: "I have a diploma in music, you're knowledge of music is the size of a postage stamp! *angry face*"

    Simon: "And not a single fuck was given that day..."

  • You know, watching this video again, I think I realized something: that book, the one we keep making fun of, HAS THE MUSIC FOR THE STAR WARS THEME WRITTEN IN IT. He is literally reading straight off of it, and failing! Pathetic.

    (Incidentally, can anyone confirm that for me? Someone out there owns that book, right?)

  • Why is everything British people do so gay?

  • @highroad214 hey, it's how we roll. Heard about a certain wedding next week?

  • He seems like a nice guy, but he's not a very talented keyboard player. Yes, I do admire him for being so gutsy, but still, his timing is off, and it doesn't sound any better than the original. Just my opinion.

  • I don't understand why he couldn't even keep the melody right, it doesn't take long to learn that at all.

    As for all the defenders, I have broke a guitar string on stage before, so I know what it's like to mess up, so I have every right to comment in this way :D

  • I LIKE HIM!!! The people of the audience SUCKS!! How can you people be so unrespectful????

  • This is why Britain's Got Talent is so much better than the American version.

  • @ClassicMusicOnly I went to a taping of America's Got Talent and the production team encourages the audience to shout their opinions one way or another for every act.

  • I have a feeling this guy would get beat up by Star Wars nerds.

  • "Simon has a phobia of keyboards."

    LMAO XDD

  • It is clear to me that this poor man suffers from some sort of mental illness (no I'm not being sarcastic) and I think it sucks that the producers of this show put him through all of this so that others could have a good laugh at his expense. You can clearly see the hurt on his face. And the audience were a pack of wankers.

  • what the fuck? :D

  • Damn, this guy really knows how to make an entrance.

  • Rude audience.

    Also, "Everyone's heard Star Wars. Do you feel in space?"

  • Right you guys.

    Just shut the gell up, stop arguing and admit he was f**king bullshit, he has no talent and i dont get how he even got past the auditions.

  • Hang on. Americans are constantly bashed for being rude to people on American shows, yet the people in this audience were far harsher than any I've seen over here. Let's just cut the bullshit and say there are people who are rude as hell in both Europe and the US. Damn

  • @SenorCarnage But he sucked horse bells, come on.

  • @Goomba753 Yeah, I'm not saying he didn't. What I'm saying is that there is no difference between the cultures.

  • It's obviously just an act... I'm sure he can actually play keyboard very well

  • This guy obviously just TROLLED the entire world.

  • Piers was clearly a proponent of Machell just to annoy Simon.

  • hes so nerves poor dude and he was speeding up

  • I play the keyboard and I haven't heard star wars like this......

  • Proof that most brittish people are rednecks

  • Let's see them write and plaay that? like they boo, but they can't do any of it...

  • i just love him

  • que mierda es estoßßß FUERA VIEJO DE MIERCOLES

  • he looks like howard cosell came back from the dead

  • Forget everyone else.  I want a whole show about this guy.

  • Frankly, he deserved every boo he got. That was horrible.

  • wish he would have won loved this remix

  • This is quite clearly a joke!

  • audience suck bigtime!!!

    u guys are so rude...:S

  • simon sucks

  • no wonder there is so much soccer violence, britains got hoodlans should be the name of this show, he audience should be ashamed

  • Only in Europe do they gather socially awkward people to publicly humiliate on live TV. Disgusting group of people.

  • Comment removed

  • I think he really does suck, but the audience was rather horrible to him

    He deserves a beta shot at it

  • I think he really does suck, but the audience was rather horrible to him

  • The public is ignorant and mean. None of them would have the courage to come up in front of millions of people, and play the way he did.

    Who cares if he played wrongly? Maybe it was supposed to be that way.

    Shouting 'Off' is one of the most mean and unearthly things you could shout to a performer.

    The first judge, (I don't know his name) was very kind, and you could tell he was accepting, and he put the mans hopes up.

    Poor guy, for his way he was amazing, and I stand up clapping.

  • @ClassicMusicOnly He obviously didn't know how to play the keyboard. I play the keyboard and apparently only musicians can hear how SUCKY that was. I assume you don't play music. He's got NO talent at all. Absolutely NO talent. Why is he in Britan's got talent?

    Did you hear how incredibly off that was? It didn't fit with the background music, he held a note for too long, parts were too fast etc.

    If you enter a talent show, you should have a talent. This guy obviously doesn't belong here.

  • @Goomba753

    First off, I assume you don't play the 'keyboard'. I play the piano, and I am a professional. I have played it for 15 years, since I was 7. I never said he played well, so stop trying to act all smartass. The last thing you can be is a 'musician'. In music there is nothing 'SUCKY'. There are interpretations, and you don't have to like them.

    You should be the last person to judge his talent. You sir, are a completely stupid ignorant person, insulting a man that at least TRIED.

  • @ClassicMusicOnly Yes, I play the keyboard. I also write songs.

    And no, you're misunderstanding me. I'm not insulting him. All I said was that he doesn't have any talent. Okay, it didn't suck but it wasn't good. What he played didn't even fit the background.

    He tried, and I admire him for that, but he simply doesn't belong in Britan's got talent. No offense to him.

  • @ClassicMusicOnly Audience was rough on the guy admittedly. But your rxcusing his mediocrity is completely off-target. You have failed to understand that the show is intended to find a member of the public who is capable of entertaining hte Queen. The guy is self-deluded and shouldn't be in aposition to embarrass himself. The end.

  • @ClassicMusicOnly he might be courageous to get up in front of a bunch of people but he's still incompetent. Ya douche.

  • @ClassicMusicOnly oh boo hoo

  • the public is bad,

    he's doing his best

    omg don't fuck him off

    mayby its not good bur don't scream off off off off off

  • If that was Thelonius Monk playing like this, you'd all be saying it's fantastic.

    In this act his sense of rhythm is not as random as in the first round - makes me actually think, that this guy INTENDED to play it like that. And that sweet chord he puts on 2:25, made me laugh :)

    Look up in youtube "Ornette Coleman Sextet - Free Jazz (2 of 3)" and decide for yourself, what kind of music do you prefer - for most people it's easier to listen to this guy :)

  • i couldnt sleep last nite, i was laughing so hard over this shit

  • deluuuuusion

    makes me actually feel bad for him, probably very good person though

  • OMG and I hate the way Simon doesn't discourage the audience from behaving in that way! He clearly doesnt give a s*** as long as he's getting his £££. It's disgusting.. anyone else would hate to be in Michaels position if hes being booed :/

  • Yeah hes not the great, but under no circumstances should people yell "OFF", especially when its live! srsly, do they think hes actually going to just stop and walk off?? when millions of people are watching?? they could have just let him play, because he was enjoying it, but not voted for him. Whenever I watch the X Factor or BGT I always hate the way the audience are sometimes. They're like sheep... they all follow eachother if one person yells 'boo' then they all go crazy and obnoxious. -_-

  • duhh ok this guy has no talent ok he has no timing and ruined a masterpiece from the best orchestra in the world and he gets voted to a next round? where in America we have4 year old kids that have more talent than any one i have seen on this Brittan got talent.But same judges? i don't get it ok yea Simon is a fagot 2/47 but Pires he thinks people are grate on this where i haven't seen anything good.But in America he don't.I mean wheres the magic and fire dancers and rock stars huge acts n shit!

  • I agree with the other comments saying he shouldn't be booed. I mean, we all know he wasn't good at electric keyboard at all! But he got to the semi-final and it clearly meant a lot to him, so he should've been able to enjoy the moment (because obviously everyone knew he wouldn't get any further). Acts should only be booed when they have a shitty attitude, but this man seems nice :)

  • this guy is what British civilization is all about..a class act..I love him

  • He tried his best !!

  • It kinda sounds like he knows the song and he's just fucking it up to be funny.

  • I think he went there just for the laughs and for the funny replies to simon. I don't think i'll be suprised if i'll found he actually has a diploma in music.. :3

  • how come he got to the semi?

  • Pretty sure this guy is somewhere on the autism spectrum, probably Asperger's. I don't mean this as an insult, of course - simply an observation. Delusions of talent where it's not present are very common with Asperger's, his fixation on star wars is a pointer, and his lack of social understanding and overall behavior kind of point to that, to me. I agree it was mean to send him forward to be laughed at more.

  • I love how he still has basic instruction booklets sitting there on his keyboard through the whole act. That's world-class talent.

  • I gave thumbs up boz of his talent/ his playing on the keyboard and the sound, not for the retarded audience and that really dumb Simon :S

  • i seriously doupt about ever going to england, what a dumb audience and what a dumb judges except the one giving him good critics ofc :D.

    how retarded are those people, just like the one who posted this vid.... : this has to be one of the funniest, and yet depressing things i've ever seen. Dumb bitch:S

  • Hey calm down, i seriously think this guy is doing this as a joke I mean, just look at the books "How to play keyboard" "The complete keyboard player". He just wants to entertain and upset everyone who doesn't realize he's doing this for fun, and he succeeded!

  • @feifeille

    Soo...successful troll is successful?

  • @feifeille the reason he has the complete keyboard player book is because that song is in it.

    

  • he has a DIPLOMA of music? SCREW HIM LOL. i thought he would be humble, yet he was INDEED BOASTFUL. . hahahaha you suck big time moron...

  • i liked it

  • fuckin asshole

  • how the HECK did he get through to the semi finals?????? HOW???

  • Poor dude. I think that it was pretty good. That whole audience was filled with pricks that day.

  • this guy could be related to me.

  • maybe he should get his money back...

  • HAHAHA...postage stamp :P

  • Man his playing reminds me of Wakeman and Emerson.

  • I think he knows a lot about music, but he did absolutely terrible on purpose, just for fun to see if he could actually make some progress in the show.

  • The audience suxxxx

  • FUCK THE PUBLIC!! Really, fucking bitches they are!! They can shut the fuck up!

  • Comment removed

  • This man was evidently failed by the so called 'Centre of Learning' that gave him his Diploma in music; Amanda and Simon were blatantly and evidently correct in their comment. Ergo, i'm sure that Piers only carried on his 'act' to spite Simon.

  • @2112murphy lol awesome~

  • Yep

  • I don't think it was horrible but the background music did not go with wat he was playing just didn't sound rite together

  • I actually think this guy is enjoing what he does. He is doing it for fun. He is not stupid.

  • Plus, I looked up a video of him playing in what looks like his home. There's a nice piano in the background with (again, what looks like) a mound of sheet music on top. And I found a link to him on a UK Music Teachers site. It says he teaches theory, keyboard and piano. His qualifications are "GRADE 5 THEORY ABRMS" and "DIPLOMA IN PERFOMANCE OF MUSIC."

    Again, I really believe that this man CAN play. His inability to play is an ACT! And a damn good one at that! The man deserves an Oscar! :)

  • I think the whole thing was the joke. Anyone take a look at his piano books? "The Complete Keyboard Player" and "How to Play Keyboards"!!! He didn't even need the second one, so why would he bring it unless it was meant as a prop?! Honestly, this guy is HILARIOUS! I really believe his whole personality is just an act, a character he's made up for this show alone. Ten bucks says he really IS a brilliant keyboard player with a wicked sense of humor!!! ;)

  • As someone who has played piano for half their life, I am still wondering HOW he managed to get through auditions... what the heck?

    Also as a pianist, I would really love the spaceship-keyboard.

  • to be honest this really sucks, this dude is completely retard.

    And talking about his vengence he should suck Simon's dick and stop those craps forever.

  • I can't tell if Pierce is being an Asshole, or not....

  • What a brave guy. Heh, I seriously want a little UFO chair...keyboard...thing.

  • I thought it was going to be something stunning but no, he's pretty cheesy and piers looks like a complete moron saying yes. It's so funny!!! HA HA HA. Poor guy but no, he has not much talent. He sounds more like a well intentioned old man trying to entertain his grandkids. However the audience needs to show some respect at least.

  • HAHAHAHAH VERY ENTERTAINING

  • I realy can't belive there are people like the audience ..

    this man is enjoying himself, he's doing what he loves to do.

    okay, he's not a talent, and maybe it is his own fault, but people, don't pick on this man.

    He has the guts to perform on tv, and you can say what you want, but not everyone dares that.

    And most important of all, he's doing what he loves, and that's the most important.

    WELL DONE MICHAEL MACHELL ! (L)

  • I would have voted him just to see simon's face when michael made into the final. lol

  • Poor guy XD

  • I'd like to see the audience get up there and try to do what he just did! Absolutely disgraceful audience who don't even deserve to be there.

  • What does the guy say at 5:55?

  • This Guy is Ok but the timing is completely wrong. Check my channel and I play electronic Organ and Keyboard but I only have my organ videos there is my music teacher as well and he is great at playing. This Michael Maechell has a great keyboard but not a great way of playing it. That I know is one of the top of the PSR range of the time that this video was taken and this show was on.

  • He's not all that good, fair enough.

    But what a professional.

    Deried and mocked, viciously, and he played on.

    Fair play to you mate.

  • 6:30 his face :')

  • Simon forgets - Peirs is completly and utterly dilluded aswell

  • piers is such a twat he needs a smack, amandas just plain fit and simons a ledgend lol :L

  • I feel sorry for him :(

  • Aww shame on that audience, barely giving him 10 seconds of happiness playing that keyboard. All you could hear in between notes were ''OFF'' and ''BOOOO''. He was never given a proper chance, poor guy.

  • @blugal102 Are you dumb? He sucked horse bells, he wouldn't be matter no matter how many chances he got.

  • @Goomba753 Do you mind not replying to something that I commented on months ago? I didn't say that he would be good if they were quiet, I am just saying that the audience were incredibly rude.

  • @blugal102 Does it matter how long ago it was?

  • @Goomba753 Yes, because its quite annoying.

  • @blugal102 If you don't want replies, don't post a comment.

  • @Goomba753 Fair enough, but you don't have to keep bugging me.

  • @blugal102 You replied.

  • @Goomba753 Very observant!

  • @blugal102 ...what are you talking about?
