  • Vsause2?

  • PLEASE READ: We are a recently set up youth broadcaster from London and are promoting musical talent from all over; we need as much promotion as we can. One thumbs up could help our channel grow :)

  • @thunderscratch66 Well said. Please check out our Busking Session with Billy Cooper in London, it's on our channel :)

  • Great video ! NY-3

  • I HATE ppl who think busking is the same as begging. It's SO NOT the same. these ppl have something to give, and try to be creative. It's also the perfect audience: If you don't wanna hear the music, you just keep walking. unlike concerts (the captive audience) or cd's that you pay for first and quite often walk away wanting your money back. If you like it, you stand there and listen a while. this kinda stuff livens up any city. its good for the soul.

  • @thunderscratch66 I definitely know that busking is not the same as begging in Seattle. The musicians I know walk away with less than ten bucks for a whole day, while the beggers hats fill up with 5s and 10s, in just an hour.

  • @thunderscratch66 thats why i illegally download, if i like them then ill but their stuff

  • NEW YORK <3

  • looks like the cray pedo guy off green mile

  • thank you... i resonated with all the buskers as i am one too. I especially liked what Beth Wild had to say. thank you

  • wow, what a prick LOL

  • "what would i be taking a break from? im standing in the middle of the street in my underwear playing my favorite song" lmao

  • Busking hte big PEAR

  • !! Thank You for the video!! 

  • Don't clap. Throw money :0)))

  • Beautiful..

  • Congratulations on winning the award for the documentary last year.

    I hit my 500th Day of street performing on January 23rd this year . It was a quiet celebration - not much notice - but in my heart, I celebrated the day as a milestone.

    I'm still street performing and loving it - and continuously striving to create new opportunities to work more, and grow more fully as a singer and as a person.

    Thanks again for the beautiful work , "Busking the Big Apple".

    SIncerely,

    Bethany Wild

  • naked guy pissed me off.

  • @gravelftw the naked cowboy?

    nah man he's a really nice guy.

    try talking to him personally. come by nyc sometime, go to times square on a weekend and you can probably find him.

    He's hard to hate.

  • Nice video, I really want to go to NYC.

  • Great documentary.

  • great video

  • 2:07  men wemon and CHILDREN will lick my balls

    lol

  • love it amo voglio farlo

  • i busked yesterday. after 30 minutes i gave up because I didnt make any money.

  • always start with two bucks and some coins! that'll get ppl started.

  • I was especially touched by several of those people expressing their experience such as the woman singer Beth Wild and Yovani, the flute player.

    People in the city become disconnected with life. Street preformers serves the purpose of reconnecting us to our hummanity through beauty of sound and art. They provide a human service to the mudane exsistence of these times.  I congratulate you all (ICTV) for your wonderful documentary.

  • We Definatelly need to link up. that way we can link The USA from NY to San Diego and have the Busker's Unite

  • well done documentary!!! great work, i had not anything personal with the naked cowboy, but i would consider removing him from the film.-

  • ha ha ha wtf...with the naked cowboy wanting men womena nd children to come and lick his balls! omg lol

  • the video editing, cinematography, and audio chosen documents the culture and experience superbly! Well done.

  • In the definition the part about soliciting money isn't appropriate, more so that "generous public donations" are encouraged and what definitely keeps the street arts thriving. Thank you. ~ Vi An (Canadian)

  • Nice job! Very well put together!

  • Very nive video, come in Italy to make a new one with italian buskers like me...!!!!!

  • this is a great video.... we have a lot of people in india doing street performances too trying to make a living out of it, but we never exactly look at it like art ... this puts a lot into perspective.. do what you love doing.

    cheers from India

  • Very well put together perspective from the buskers. A lot of personality, and almost aggression coming from the Naked Cowboy.

  • I'm a full-time busker in South Australia. I found this very inspiring...we all have the same ups and downs, but I'd hate to work NYC in the winter!
