2NE1 - Lonely - Piano Cover [2NE1 LONELY COVER CONTEST] *Finalist Video*

[mitkof13]

Hi! This will probably never be answered but I was wondering....haw long have you been into kpop? I know that you're from the US because of one of the comments...it's really hard for USA people to get into kpop because we're not used to it, but actually SHINee turned me onto kpop c;

What was a deciding point for you, like when did you start liking kpop and what band did you first hear and play piano for?

[seljanempire]

@mitkof13 - Awww, why do you think it'll never be answered? ): I hope someone answers it! :P Don't worry, I read every single comment (: I've been listening to Kpop for about 5 years or so~ The first song I EVER heard was "Be My 1004" by IM, and after that was Big Bang, who is still my favorite group. The first song I played by ear on piano was "I Don't Care" by 2NE1, which you can find waaaaay back in my videos hahaha. I hope my answer was good enough :)

[mitkof13]

[seljanempire]

@drsnowmon - Maybe :3

[MonchizzL0id]

LIKE ;D!

[clogmyblog]

too fast

[QUACKYQUACKY1]

It probably only sounds faster because he added more notes on the left hand

[demzsenpai]

Can u play the song 0330 by U-Kiss I really like how you play the "Lonely " I'am a big fan of 2ne1 I'am really hoping you can play it for me

[soominhan]

Wow you got talent at playing a piano :D!

It's a brilliant piano cover, i really like it ^^ hope you will be accepted :)

[o0oREIDo0o]

love it...you have such a good talent...

[kimberlyloveharry]

wow~your skill of playing piano is fabulous♥

you must be a fan of korean music!!

and so do i^^

nice to meet you=)

[TwilightFreaksta]

OMG. LOooooooOoOOove so FREAKIN Much !

[chewyumyum]

wow your really good at playing the piano i hope u win :D

[KuroKeiKetsueki]

it's not fast neither slow, it has an exact tempo. i ♥ it :)

[MusicalMight]

"tempo (Italian for time, plural: tempi) is the speed or pace of a given piece. Tempo is a crucial element of any musical composition, as it can affect the mood and difficulty of a piece."

The fact that it takes the same amount of time as the original does not make it the same tempo~^^

[DarlingDeanna]

@MusicalMight when played in time with 2NE1's original song, the speed is the same. so get off your high horse.

[MusicalMight]

@DarlingDeanna getting friends/other youtube accs to comment, nice. but anyway i wasn't trying to personally offend you, just trying to clear up your misconception~ ^^

[MusicalMight]

It is certainly not the same "speed"

[seljanempire]

@MusicalMight - Oh? Well here's 2 things:

First, I listened to the song in my left ear while I played it, so it is the exact same speed/tempo/length as the original song.

And secondly, my video is 3 minutes and 29 seconds. 2NE1's original music video is 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

I will be happy to answer any other questions/complaints about the tempo~ ^^

[JMBFProductions]

@seljanempire dont worry, hes just jealous :D

your great!

[ItsJas123]

@MusicalMight its the same speed.... i played this video and 2NE1's video at the same time, and it was exactly the same... he didnt speed up or slow down.

[seljanempire]

@ItsJas123 - THANK YOU. I'd like to play a song for you. What wouldya like? :)

[ItsJas123]

@seljanempire I really like the song Life by SHINee :)

it's really slow, but i love it (:

tell me if you want another song, instead of this one xD

btw, i love all your songs that you play

[jjoswalt]

You made it yours brah! Rock dat shit! Great job!

[CoreaLiliChaN]

perfect i like :)

[princesscc30]

you should have sung or you should have asked somebody to sing for you because i think you're and all but it would have been better if someone is singing in it... anyway you were great

[ShrooMIR05]

Good Luck

[banguso]

i think if you're going to play it on a piano, it should be more slower because of the song's emotion. just my opinion. good job by the way! keep it up! :)

[HIGSOFX]

Its not fast.... is it? o_O I thought it was the same speed idk ._.

Either way, this is amazing and good luck! ^o^

[seljanempire]

@HIGSOFX - Thanks for noticing that it's the exact same speed as the actual song LOL ^^

[VIP3173]

hope you win....

it's perfect..........

[NoFuturexMatrix325]

i prefer the drum dude above him

[TheLaraaaa]

Woooww!!! its reaaaally good! Amaziing! <3

[luvlifeteddy]

I think this is really good! Lovely music!

[DelvinaLychee95]

this is really really good ! How can you do this by ear ? Ur awesome :)

Can I use this for my cover? (if u don't mind) ^^

It sounds really goooooodd

[RealJudyi]

who cares if they dont pick it you were soo fast that they are going to see it ^^

[stephtjune206]

however , i think you should play it slower ....

[xAznessx]

There were some diminished chords that weren't supposed to be there......but otherwise it was fine :)

[waluxitaPH]

beautiful......i love how you play the piano.....*-*

[LeahSaysHello]

you're amazing! this is so cool :)

[debrockz]

I guess a slower version would sound good, too but I think the tempo here is fine, it still sounds pretty! i think the fast tempo makes it sound more refreshing!! :)

[triaadriana]

i wish i can play piano :(

[ZePomVerte]

Oh my, you're awesome ! *o*

[katyaYanyan]

whaaa :'D I really liked the left hand sound throughout the song

Good luck on the 2ne1 contest~ fighting!!
