Micheal Jackson's long lost son in law

[elias2ma]

[altosax314]

I wonder if he would have done as well in the competition if he played as well as he danced, but could only dance as well as he just played. I bet not. Good for him, though, he's a great PERFORMER.

[altosax314]

[ingenierocivilUNI]

Eso es tocar.!!!

Eso es vivir la música.!

[shimaringo]

This song was made famous by the Average White Band not kenny G.....

@emonkey....

Little monkey I have been playing saxophone for over 30years,probably longer than you have been alive.When you get out of junior high school you might learn what real HORN players call their sax....

[AsherSax]

This guy is pretty good at the sax I guess, but he shouldn't have used the name Mr. Big "Who's the Guy". That's a little egotistic, don't you think?

[dunkading]

@AsherSax

Actually, he didn't tell the producers to use any of those names. When he filled out paperwork for the show, he was told to list all of his nicknames that he's EVER had/used. And then they used certain ones and meshed 'em together.

Mr BIG was a business nickname (business inspiration generation) and "Who's the Guy" is just a silly question, but sounded more like a statement in the context it was presented.

No ego...just a dude who likes performing ;)

I know him personally.

[AsherSax]

Oh, okay. Sorry about that then. I guess right now I'm one of those internet morons who's contributing to stuff that isn't true. I don't know him personally so I shouldn't have judged him. He does certainly love to perform. Hope he reaches his dreams one day.

[emonkeylover98]

@shimaringo... its NOT a horn. Its a saxophone. horns are trumpets, and cornets (which are the same thing) I Play saxophone and that guy is pretty dam good

[backagain010]

YEAH DUMBASS

[shimaringo]

The guy dances far better than he plays the horn.......stick to dancing and put the horn down.

[snk9045]

You dont know the music he is in

[shimaringo]

WTF does this mean "you dont know the music he is in"

Maybe you should learn how to speak english before you post.

[snk9045]

I mean the love he put into his horn the months he has worked. He is in the peaceful mind. ( I am not a hippe)

[RatherRosie]

i wonder who's better , him , or the dancing trombone guy :L

[KaptKan1]

This guy has an amazing talent. I hope that he has gigs in Vegas and everywhere else. I wish he'd come to my city! Talk about ENTERTAINMENT, eh! Great!

[AhmadAlony123]

0:54 typicall ghetto niggers dancing to a blues song

[snk9045]

It a love song and your a racist bitch

[sadizes]

omg???

[dipiu20]

Candy Dulfer - Pick at the pieces

[snk9045]

Its Kenny G-Pick up the pieces

[snk9045]

Kenny G Pick up the pieces, not some random asshole who copied Kenny G.

Candy Dulfer sucks

[Gumbo550]

[dronningmaud]

LOVED IT!!!

[acvalrieandre]

What song did he play? Anyone know?

[saxophoneninja]

he played Pick up the Pieces

[snk9045]

From kenny G, Dont get the candy dufler one. Its horrible.

[playbass08]

it sounds amazing, but I would never try to move around gthat much with my sax... ever... I play on a yas 875ex in silver... I would be sooooo afraid of dropping it.

[Jazzmanandsaxophone]

does anyone know if he went trough the finals? i think i missed this season of americas got talent

[Skiine]

Good to see someone really enjoying themselves on stage

[girlco28]

love this

[Ailliouspersona]

okay,...i'm a sax player.. i think is he kinda impersonating Dave Koz? anyone agree? ( i agree with RacoonBurglar

[Musician0at0Work]

Song????

[secter244]

pick up the pieces

[Maxwell2323]

This guy was awesome. What happened to him? And for God's sake, get Springer back. The current guy is a complete idiot. Complete fool. Can't understand anything he says either.

Ignore the previous poster with his finger up his arse out of jealousy. Liberal elitist whiner.

[stinguy30]

AWB, thanks from Uruguay

[FistofNorthstarmusic]

Pretty much some of the worst saxophone playing I have heard in my life. These judges are complete hacks and have no idea what a good saxophone sound or intonation is. They reject genuinely talented individuals and celebrate mediocrity. He sticks out like a sore thumb against the prerecorded track he is playing with. Who cares if he can dance a little if he is playing saxophone at the level of a high school freshman that doesn't practice. It makes me sick that anyone takes this seriously.

[musicista25]

some of the worst saxophone playing ? clean your ears man

[Musician0at0Work]

F that man you try to play while dancing and tell me how you sound

[MermaidLilli]

i´d probably sound like crap

[psymaster1234]

@Musician0at0Work

[RacoonBurglar]

this isn't Britain's got sax talent. its about entertaining people. the high level sax players may not have been entertaining as this guy.

[Raimis17]

I think he also is a high level saxophonist:P

[SugarSw337]

problem is, this competition is called something about talent, but it is much more about mass media, now the average guy (like myself) cant really understand how impressive it is to play a sax real good, nor do i really notice what is really good or really bad play. however a guy that plays a sax at a level i can listen to, and do some quirky dance movies and looks totally out of his place, is highly entertaining.

[zikio123]

OMG MARVEL VS CAPCOM!!!

[bandgeek89]

How far did this guy get on the show?

[Gegga2]

OMFG! HE´s my idol!

[zs1990]

whats that song ??

[Bestbuysax]

Pick up the pieces

[Quirrelq7]

2:29 hahaha

YEAAAAAH!!!

[bingandtri]

he was really good

but americans are so full of themselves

[buescher1925]

This is unbelievable,the guy is amazing. Bravo!!!

[cayenne973]

hey wats the name of the song

[were2220]

picck up the pieces is the song's name

[Izzyandleah]

at the beginning i thought he was really weird but after seeing the video he's pretty cool i guess

[galgeek]

2:53 LMAO

[nuaurea]

[GameGlitcher94]

[highlandssax08]

PICK UP THE PIECES!

[leannemcevoy]

[Barca87]

So all that time in the mirror does pay off

[tabber316]

this guys on smack or summit, he's fuckin so funny.

[stk38349]

next time play contrapunctus nine on stage, lol

[xxweeXrozixx]

"what are you going to do for us today ? "

"i'm going to entertain you "

Best answer ever!!!

[KaviarMannen]

He is a saxmachine

[upabovemusic]

He must be on something

[xavtastic]

coolest white guy ever.

[loonyfool11]

IM THE SAXAPHONE!

[sovietspyguy]

Shit I thought he was great. His dancing isn't the best but it's good enough that it doesn't distract you from the performance. I thought he was good! He's pretty good on the sax too, but he clearly has that "I'm nervous" tone. I know that well, played sax for 8 years.

[ChristianGastl]

if you play for 8 years and like HIS playing then i cant really understand you.. sorry.. i dont like that guy..

[sovietspyguy]

It definitely wasn't an amazing technical performance, but as a performance in and of itself it wasn't bad.

[ChristianGastl]

right. "not bad".. but kind of crazy.. ^^

[Azarelius]

That was very good.

[flutytuttie6]

thank you. i knew it was familiar, but i couldn't remember the name

[flutytuttie6]

what song is he playing?

[SzczepanPl]

pick up the pieces

[beastyzy]

dancing and playing sax at the same time. nice lol.

[cLarOphonist]

wow...

its amazing dat u played dis song!!!!!

wow...

1 of d Kenny G's song!!!

i love it!!

thnx 4 sharring...

hope u will success wit ur dis talent...

haha

salute u!!!

~Con La Passione di Vita di Musica~

[ABYZZ1]

OMG at the end it's SOOOO FUNNY!!!! He licks his teeth and he looks like a vampire!!!

[JPSaxMan]

Other than some issues with intonation he's got a pretty good hold on the horn. I'd rather see someone do that stuff who knows what they're doing than just them dancing around looking like a fool...but he's got it together.

[samymag]

this is the coolest guy i'v ever seen and thats cool hes got so much energi

[topmen116]

He is on caffeine :)

[AtariMaxiTariyama]

The way he does his hand to the side while playing, to me, looks COOL.

Like Sasuke from Naruto, that kind of cool. Like he should have all the ladies. I loved it. LOVED it.

[hedmunky84]

he shouldve made it farther, i really liked him

[leo2892]

Just to add on, I smell a fake.

[leo2892]

Something's wrong. At the 1:31/1:32 mark, there's a two-note chord - on one saxophone.

Can anyone explain?

[kezoomer]

Naw, only one, one is from the background music i think...

[TilCygAb]

The saxophone line is playing the the song, as well as him playing..

So you're actually hearing 2 saxophones

[don7frye]

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is not entertaining

[p0ezi]

In my opinion, thats not good. I really dont like his sound, and those dance moves is hilariously bad and misplaced. I didnt like it :)

[LoStNuMbErZ]

this guy is really really good I dont understand how he got cut? He's super awkward but hes really talented basically like a better version of that trumpet guy from this season

[GetzColtraneRollins]

he definitely was entertaining, but thats where i have to stop. musically, there was very little. people were calling this jazz, but its anything but.

[splodgeface]

man, i usually hate jazz but this dude is a lejend!

[mage05]

U r a moron, never speak again

[mynameismudd33]

how is this jazz it isnt jazz. he isnt a legend.

look up

John Coltrane or Charlie Parker..there is legends

[mage05]

I know who you are talking about. I agree that those guys are legends, however, that guy is a lot of fun to watch and he has a good time. That is all that is needed to be a great entertainer. While yes he is not as good as the guys you mentioned, he is still fun, and good enough to make you laugh and have a good time.

[mynameismudd33]

if you really had talent you wuldnt need to come on these fake game shows like, american idol and this one. you wuld be good enuff to have exposure locally.

[mage05]

Once again you are a moron and should never speak again. Just because you have talent does not mean you will just become a super star, sometimes you need something like this show to give you a start. Talent does not mean success.

[mynameismudd33]

i completely understand that! i live in new orleans but as young as i am i get enough exposure and i am not half as good as the older cats that are playing with me. besides look at the judges. you want to argue about this then seriously go do some more research on local exposure and venues. seriously if he gets famous what is this guy going to do???? and p.s. success does not mean talent

[don7frye]

agree

[don7frye]

Wtf are you talking about? This is a show about unknown people trying to make it , if he was a legend he wouldn't be here in the first place!

[don7frye]

Oh and Coltrane and Parker respect but they are fosils

[mynameismudd33]

Thats funny man because if they are such fossils then why is their transcription books of all their solos??? ppl study them and strive to play like them all the time...you obviously have no idea

[don7frye]

It's worst than comparing Poll Pots or what's his name with Pavarotti , it's ridiculous!

[stonier1066]

amazing

[CactusOnIce]

that guy was amazing! but clearly gurning his tits off. watch his jaw from 2.32-2.43.

brilliant though.

[achris02]

i love this guy man he has so much happiness in him

[TheBeastIsHere]

This guy is the greatest!!!

[zDoser]

lol piers thought he took some lsd!

[BeviCKY777]

what song does he play?

[jatuman7]

Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces

[InstrumentManiac]

He was flat though

[smokey651]

Im pretty sure he was growling some. And also even if he was flat, it doesnt matter. The point of playing an instrument is to express yourself and to entertain.. not to technically be the best.

[InstrumentManiac]

I agree with the growling but in all aspects he was not that great, now if he did the same song on duel saxes I would be impressed.

[andytheswimmer]

He's crazy but he's brilliant!!

As far from a boring singer as you can get!

[achris02]

this guy is fukin fantastic

[rdkwslayer]

he is sick he is my best one so far

[xJakeyBoy12x]

hes groovy for a white guy all i gotta say is play that funky music white boy

[Kandeeflossx]

Hahahahaha!! Oh my god, I love this dude! He's soo funny and cuuuuute!!! I laughed my ass off, and he's awesome at playing the sax, very surprised :O :D Crazyness!!! <3

[toolso76]

absolutely amazing - but is he on drugs??

[FergieHasMeanBeatzz]

he plays like nothing ive ever SEEN and he rocks the stage to the extreme
