Moonlight Sonata

[hotmail1929]

At 1:06 she messed up bad, she felt that bad i saw it on her face. Too fast can't get the feeling of this song

[MrPuiuF]

WHAT A SHAME!! She does not play it at all!!! look as her fingers and listen to the sound... sec 0:48 and the interval 1:05-1:10 In this interval she should play E:E - G:G - E:E - B:B with her left hand, but she touches the keys randomly... what a shame to playback with a piano!!

At 0:26 she touched the A with her 5th right finger, but there is no sound there!

Moreover, the sound alternates between strong-calm, while she is so relaxed during the entire representation :)) Abnormal!

[5633bailey]

@MrPuiuF i play this and she did not mess up at 0:48 k deal with it cuz u cant play that well

[memoirs56]

Don't make me laugh, if they only gave her a certain amount of time, then she should have refused to play it. What do think Rubenstein and Kempff's reply would have been, if they were playing at a concert and they were told to cut it short. The second word would have been off, will leave it to your imagination what the first word would have been.

[Megatron9843]

Ok for everyone saying she is playing too fast think about it. She had to play fast they only gave her a certain amount of time.....don't hate I hate it when everyone is so negative...at least she isn't playing video games all day. She's doing what she loves....she's not claiming to be perfect...the only person who can play it absolutely perfect is Beethoven. The day she gets her own show and can waste 7 1/2 minutes is the day she play it slow like it's suppose to be

[jegspillerpiano]

@Megatron9843 It's incredibly amatuerish actually. But she can get away with it because she is beautiful and cavorting sexy-arsed around on the piano stool, and she's a TV celebrity. Thousands of professional pianists (or even good amatuer ones) are vomiting at this video. For what it's worth: 1) a proper 'slow' rendition takes 5-6 minutes not 7&half 2) she's not only fast, it's stylistically AWFUL with far too much playing around with the rythmn, and no finesse of touch.

[memoirs56]

Not bad Myleene, however it was played too fast. Please listen to Wilhelm Kempf playing this, total perfection.

[sunlight3009]

i'm sorry but her bracelet is the only thing i like about this performance

[BigMacEater343]

I didn't know the spine bent that way O.o

[Melissavictoria24]

This sounds like it is being played on an none sensitive keyboard....

[Andyjzr]

Dreadful. No touch, no feel. Celebrity pianist. Shite.

[jegspillerpiano]

@Andyjzr Ha. You put it better than me - in a lot less words!

[samtan2988]

Spoils the piece of music art.

You played TOO FAST!

[Havelneft]

wtf, this rendition belittles it, too fast



[elbones1982]

how does she get so many dislikes?

[jesuscrised]

how can u play with closed eyes xD

[DarkCavaliero]

why are you all saying too fast ? Glenn Gould played it too fast too and he was a Legend , he also played the best version of the 3rd mvt in my opinion

[avril149]

@DarkCavaliero this is not adagio, so it's clearly too fast

[thiagosobral]

Don't care if it's well played or not. At least she is not subject to the trash 'pop' music and other crap artists we have nowadays. But yes could have more effort.

[fatalangel34]

Too fast and where's the melody?! Worst version of such an amazing song... who cares if she's hot?

[fanbrazil11]

You are very good! Maybe a BIT fast, but that's not so tragic. And you are HOT as hell. ;)

[aomf58]

Dear Myleene, this piece is profoundly refined, it only seems like an easy and smooth melody. I would recommend that you seriously listen to other performers - Lisitsa, Kempf for instance.

[Alex4gators]

Great song...at times she plays it too fast.

[feebeeliszt]

My only compliment is that she rescued the wrong notes quite nicely (like 1:04). If Beethoven knew someone is raping his music like this, I am sure he would jump up from the grave and smash her into pieces.

[hadephobiac]

WAAAAAYYYYY TOOOOOOOOO FAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTT

[quinn244]

Played way to fast. The dynamics weren't all that great. She needs to play softer on the soft parts. And theres not enough emotion behind it. It really wasn't good. She ruined a beautiful piece of music. But thats just my opinion.

[beepee2005]

If only this were a true Piano. :|. although on occasion she sped up in the song in odd places, well we all view songs differently from another :3

[good1dawg]

This is not an classical music concert; it's a tv show that she's trying to jam a piano piece into before the credits roll so no wonder she's playing fast. Sheeesh.

[twiztidMage]

gorgeously played :D head spins so sexy. I do love it played more traditionally but some times its sexy to hear a variation

[uchiha4641]

Only concentrated on the body instead of the music

She's playing way too fast, at times too loudly and with no emotion

[Thisismyfirstopinion]

This made me sad inside... Not in a good way... Where is the emotion? Great song put to shame...

[132000Volts]

She has a very nice arse. Who agrees?

[blackpiano0]

without emotion and so fast!

[kartofobelachka]

Mhm-we talk about triplets but still the girl`s playing it too fast........The first movement needs more passion and has to be played slowlier......

[rachelovesfernie]

Too fast

[crustylion321]

this girls ass turns me on,

[MrJuno6]

Myleene seems to be a little bit tense and is rushing the piece, I think its just nerves.

[massimiliano123123]

Very out of sync, very bad played, very bad pianist!

[rasputozen]

no passion

[moldred82]

I hate when this great song is played fast.11

[ValentineNation]

GAH! This is supposed to be a sleepy song, not a train wreck. X_X

[dustyandlevon]

A little bit fast... Maybe a bit nervous but much better than I could do. Good job. 

[DaimDamnTV]

hot ass

[sneaker24p]

so fast hunny... :S

[carthus1324]

omg way to fast and not emotion ill show you how to play it right just dont murder bethoven lol

[misscvaughn]

if my ears could cry, they would be.

[RangRing68]

This is too fast and emotionless. Nice ass though.

[miamimoogle]

@RangRing68

Agree. Way too fast. She obviously doesn't feel what this piece was intended to communicate.. No emotion transmitted through the music. It's a shame.

[Wishka86]

This is so fast it literally sounds like shit. Garbage

[monobrow638]

True sonata form...Exposition, first subject, transition, second subject, coda...NOT! LMFAO and she calls herself a musician? I hate to criticise because anyone attempting to bring classical music to the mainstream deserves respect if nothing else...but come on! Although...I doubt many of her "listeners" are really concentrating on the music XD

[doghous3]

Bit suprised by the performance.. I don't think it's the speed that kills it, but the distinct lack of emotion she puts into the piece.

Perhaps she hadn't played for some time, and felt a bit nervous.. *shrugs*

Still, nice to see it.

[fufusuru]

nice ass

[ValerieRulez]

I'm trying to learn this song, but it's pretty hard without the music :S

[TailPress09]

Three words

1. Way

2. Too

3. FREAKING FAST WTF YOU DOING

[siLlyChuB]

@TailPress09 uh that was nine accually.....

[AlexSlams]

WAY TOO FAST!!!!!!!!

[950SilverStar]

She is playin` too fast...

[thaidum]

doesnt matter how fast or slow she plays it ... she is still hot lol

[sh856531]

She plays the piano a hell of a lot better than all the fucking douchebags who have come to this video to comment on how shit it is...

[zoe12390]

way too fast and loud

no emotion 

[shabs124]

play with some feelings? please?

[Xtrandom]

a bit rushed

[Vesivian]

this is talent? rofl... this is not hard at all.... only grade 3-5...

[Doodorz]

@Vesivian Coming from some fucking loser who sits and plays Xbox and Minecraft all day.

What the fuck do you know about talent? Is talent to you getting the most epic quickscope on modern warfare 2?

That aint shit kid.

[Vesivian]

@Doodorz :( awww so if i play minecraft and i dont play xbox i cant play piano? D: awww

[Doodorz]

You can't play shit, haha, except guitar hero. Gtfo with your plastic instruments.

[Vesivian]

@Doodorz urm dude....... i dont have guitar hero.................... p.s Just because i commented on one of my friends video of guitar hero does not mean i play it......... p.s you cant play shit too :) i dont see and vids of u

[Doodorz]

@Vesivian I don't need any videos because I don't troll talented people like a faggot.

[Vesivian]

@Doodorz Ok dude you either : A guy who thinks he is good in piano and boasts around the internet or A g guy who just started loving classical music and gets angry with people who say negative comments or a supper immature adult who has no like but to swear around or a troll. p.s i commented something like '' wow this is easy, grade 4-5 + only cause i know she can do a lot better and was wondering why she played sych an easy piece to play e.g her tocatta and fugue. Now... Be gone.

[Doodorz]

@Vesivian No, you're just an asshole who trolls youtube comments and makes multiple accounts to thumbs up himself like a dickhead. Grow the fuck up kid.

[Vesivian]

@Doodorz Oh wow. How immature can you be. I said be gone and you come back. I do not make fake accounts btw. Now. STFU. i dont want to talk to dumbshits who will never grow up.*Blocked*

[Doodorz]

@Vesivian 'cause I tend not to listen to idiot jackasses who think they own the world.

[Vesivian]

@Doodorz PSSSSST! Which one of my comments made me sound arrogant and makes me own the world?

[MegaWowful]

@Vesivian  THIS IS AWESOME... i need some popcorn..SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

[Vesivian]

@MegaWowful ???

[MegaWowful]

@Vesivian i'm sorry ,i only said that coz i like seeing people fail like that guy XD but i don't see why he/she was so angry coz i don't see any talent in this.

[Vesivian]

@Doodorz Check your facts dumbshit, i am right.

[BocadillosYum]

way too fast in my opinion -_-

[kexynadine]

lmao this is sooooo off

[smotnick]

Who cares? She's hot!

[LuDAcRiS1547]

Too fast and no feel.

[AlexCheungTV]

I play piano and it looks fake, idk if that's true or something :P

[Gtrplyr1]

i love it how people complain how a version of a dead persons song isn't played properly as if they can teleport back in time to hear the original version.. Hell this beats the mainstream crap on MTV

[TheLovelyPiano]

@Gtrplyr1 - Chronic complainers are miserable people that's why they complain in the first place. Ugh!

[azfsiguy]

@Gtrplyr1 The "original version", as you put it, is written in music. it's not like playing Led Zeppelin on a guitar when you can slap the CD on and try to copy it.

This PIECE was not played anywhere near properly if one knows what they are talking about. She does look good though. A very nice bottom.

[Gtrplyr1]

@azfsiguy you must be over 180 years old... And yes i agree with the second part. ;)

[merdufer]

well think britney spears with at least some talent...

[GeGeMus12]

nice posture aka nice butt

[sunlight3009]

oh my

she has no emotions, she plays like a robot

she thinks that playing fast shows that she's a great pianist

sorry for my poor english

[sunlight3009]

oh my

she has no emotions, she plays like a robot

[Murt25]

jesus come on,, it wasnt that bad,,, better than most of you douche bags could ever do in your whole life...

[SamMarksOlyver]

very good!

[antonab1]

In all fairness she was on a tv show which has limited time so she probably had to make the song speedy.

[TheIndieShow]

It seems like she's just playing a role... It doesn't look genuine, she plays the piano just to be noticed, it's never about the piece. What is worst than TERRIBLE?

[eilidhl93]

Terrible!!!!!!!

[MegaMrxy]

No good

[SasaYamaoka]

awfully done

[moondancer33]

She's too fast, and she's not putting any emotion into it. I'm sorry but she needs more practice and she needs to play slower. This is Not how it is supposed to be played..

[JosephKrammer]

Nice cumbia :D 

[FSPCS]

i would give a kingdon to be the chair...

[badata69]

that was beautiful....would have loved to hear it just a tad bit slower!!! fabulous job!!!

[AnOm75]

Beethoven's bones will roll over...

[Chakiejan]

Freakin television show and they couldn't afford to bring in a grand? Or a real piano player?

[13257214]

i'm in love <3

[C0nstellati0ns]

wow that was bad... but she's pretty, that's why she'll go far. Stupid shallow world.

[koirose88]

This song needs and is intended to be played in a slow/creepy/emotional/relaxing kind of way! My opinion!

[dirtbikin65]

toooooo fasssssstttttt itttt neeeeddss toooo beee slooooowwweerrrr

[LoftyProduction]

MORE EMOTION MORE EMOTION MORE EMOTION! TOO FAST! technique is good though I guess. all I can hear is BASS when she plays this. she needs to use her pinky to make this sing.

[cosmicjazzer]

@LoftyProduction The problem is much more the 'piano' than you might realise. This is not actually a real acoustic piano that we're hearing but rather a dynamically challenged piano module being triggered from a real piano. I've suffered similar at the beeb myself when playing live piano. grrr!

[LoftyProduction]

@cosmicjazzer ratio of likes to dislikes ........ nuff said XD

[cosmicjazzer]

@LoftyProduction Well people are expressing a dislike based on what they hear. But what they hear is not actually a reflection of what was played. The Yamaha piano module that was being triggered has a very limited dynamic range so no matter what the pianist plays it will sound soulless, with the melody not singing out as it should. However I do agree with many that the tempo is too fast here (though Gould played it faster!)

[LoftyProduction]

@cosmicjazzer the piano isn't controlling her tempo .......

[chechemko]

then, the only thing which matters is her ass

[chechemko]

it s quick because it was just a tv show.. no time for the whole sonata

[uller500]

to quick !!!!

[GOATAli]

I realise there is no PERFECT way to play any piece, but there are limits

and criteria; unfortunately Mylene is off these limits with her tempo.

[ssbn6000]

whoa this is not a race slow down!!

[upatree2009]

too fast dumbass!

[LostReverence]

It's clear that she's a very talented musician, but the problem with this is that it's being played too fast. I'm not feeling the music, and usually Moonlight Sonata sends shivers down my spine. Maybe it's got something to do with where she's playing it or the audience or whatnot, but it's not the greatest interpretation of a beautiful piece of music.

[williwinzigmann]

Playback

[sprtichck]

are these people serious, music can be played differently thats what it's for or people to be able to iterpret it in their own way, its one thing to have an opinion but to state it as a fact, now lets see you play the piano that well 

[Urvy1A]

Can she do other songs from Earthworm Jim 2?

[ZekBlek]

very bad ! too fast n no emotions ... better no play such music if you don't know how to play , omg .. she's known for nothing @@

[Sophia3733]

needs to play wayyyyyyyyy slower and with true feeling. its looks like she is just pretending and is showing off

[warriorblad]

elle joue bien pas de doute possible, elle est belle , bon okay , mais je ne sais pas, cette partie est empreinte de lyrisme de calme, de tristesse.. la c'est juste trop rapide.. mais ça ne reste qu'un avis.. inutile =)

[SausageLinks131]

In my opinion, it's too fast. Moonlight Sonata was meant to play slower...

[meenksellaan1]

she sucks, she tries to be modern but she sucks, damn can't people just play with feeling instead of trying to change te music...

[secret2oo2]

She's better do fashion instead of piano.

[BryanHereford]

This is played far to fast and has no feeling. Just try it a bit slower and put more feeling into it. Im sure you will see the difference. Regards Bryan.

[JonRob2109]

bloody awful, has anyone ever actually seen her play anything with any skill at all considering shes "classically trained"

[ednuttah]

@JonRob2109 Why play piano when you can grasp the teet of music and milk it for all it's worth?

[manok750i]

big booty :p

[zac6756]

the way she is sitting is so unnatural! she needs to do some weight training to strengthen her lower back so she can sit up straight!

[Couperin1221990]

amateur

[Tunaan360]

Rubbish. Why are the triplets drowning out the melody?

[Ryjowka24]

I like this version much better than slower one. It is more exciting in my opinion.

[123horrocks]

Too fast and too loud

[DancingAngelicR]

Very lovely!!

[JustlOVEiit]

too fast

[elmalak1]

too too too fastt

[LazyLizardProduction]

She was probably asked to play a quicker version of the song. The song itself is very long and definitely too long to be played properly on television in front of people with short attention spans. She probably hated playing it that fast, but hey, it is what it is.

[123horrocks]

Too fast and too loud.

[MamaLuvsOpera]

Way too fast! The timing is all off!

[guyNbluejeans]

When I was a kid, 1968, the TV rock group The Monkees got into a lot of hot water because it was learned they didn't actually play their instruments (yet, somehow, the music they made came out beautiful). ("Stepping Stone," "I Saw Her Face," "Last Train to Clarksville," etc.) Now consider that a while back on the TV show The View, that heavy-set lady, Sherry, said to the rapper 50-cent when he came out on the stage, "What's it like to have reached musical super-stardom?"!! Standards have fallen.

[hilbert2547]

way too fast

[greerchloe]

Tooo fastt :/

[PianoTHIS]

Where's the rest ?

[rtworincinerator]

too fast

[thenotoriousadin]

lol she sucks. id pork her in any given second tho

[Dashland13]

AWFUL INTERPRETATION! Beethoven is rolling over in his grave! her timing sucks! OMG where's the emotion?

[SiMoN6873]

shes very hot, but apart from that nothing special. this is a an easy piece. please no1 troll my comment, this really is a very easy piece. i did not know why she chose this piece. lol she even makes a mistake :D

[jedimastert0810]

alittle fast, but very good, plenty of emotion.

also, i like the wrist bling

[burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

hot chick, hot music, what else is hot around here??

[XEA6L]

good looks or not, her interpretation of this piece is utterly soulless.....

[SiMoN6873]

@XEA6L Well said! :D

[hystria1]

@XEA6L souls are not the same my friend. . that's hers singing

[MissChloeexxx]

its not terrible i bet she can do better than all you lot god im amazed at her own version

[vulpecula999]

I'd like to see her play the third movement

[bachzzz]

is not a Beethoven taste

[catavbest]

tempo !?

[wookierocker123]

@catavbest its out the window because its day time television, they would of made her go that fast to fit it in.

[TheAviationDreamer]

WTF

[hotmail1929]

no good, cous of the speed, more mistakes

[MikiSanders]

damn, kinda ruined the piece, far far too fast and the dynamics were terrible

[crx59crx]

Not good. Listen carefully at 1:07 as already commented.

Dynamics are dire also!

[knettertje90]

it's realy bad its to hard and she playing as a MONKEY

realy bad

[mamoulian69]

this is terrible, you can hardly hear the melody.

[Dollymayfrosty]

I personally like the was she makes it her own.

[FreddieSausage]

LOVE the 13/8 bar at 1:07 !

[MediaAde]

It's really good, but it's different from the original piece so it has different emotions.

Personally I can do this piece too, but I do it differently, especially the beginning (and slower too compared to hers) lol

[xMandalorex]

its good, but not like the other versions,

i'll give her 8/10 !

kool

[ponchogarciainfante]

fast... and furious!

[ubermallic]

I RETRACT MY EARLIER COMMENT!

Its my mistake .. i say she murder this .. Im wrong, i listen again & again,, something in it makes me always wonder what do i hear ??

I love music with my whole soul ,, i love this piece ,,, i play it since a small boy.

now i can understand & can hear .. and your nerve's .. but this is a deep piece how you play , your well suited to it

Play on beautioful girl ... never to let some old fool like me who cant hear first time bother... Im 100% wrong! u r 5*

[maysoona99]

too fast

[coolperson05]

she made a mistake can't you hear it, about 2/3 way through...and the tune isn't being brough forward on the top, too many triplets...Grrr Myleene

[mossydie]

What about Agerich?

But this isn't a good version at all, I agree.
