the question was stupid, but if he was polite and smart enough!, he wouldn't have acted like an offended diva. instead he could have avoided the question in a more intelligent way (isn't he a """""""genius"""""""?)
how stupid..... the reporter should know that if he ever talks bad and insults the chinese government (aka the olympics), his life and his loved ones back home would probably be in danger... in the west you can say whatever you want but not in a communist country.
*a lot of people who stands up against communism in china are sent to mental institute(fact)*
How was Lang Lang supposed to answer such a question even if from a music perspective...He handles the situation right and totally didnt stormed off...
The poster of this vid is just trying to make him look bad by putting a title like that. But you know what, it just makes you (vid poster) look bad instead.
What the olympics hosts did was essentially add a little make up to make it look better. Its what women do every day. If this fakery is somehow immoral, then women must immediately stop wearing make up. Give me a thumbs up pls people.
"Are you asking me because I'm Chinese?" Truth is, if he would have expressed any contempt of the situation he would have been sent to prison for speaking out against the Chinese communist regime, so he definitely made the right move.
Maybe he was so touchy because if you look at the olympic footage he is quite obviously miming himself, that stupid white mock up grand piano BOUNCES on the platform, so he had been forced to mime at the moment when he had his biggest ever live audience.
@Pilotsofer There was a huge controversy over the fact the girl who sung at the olympic ceremony was not the original artist, she did not actually sing she simply lip synced over a voice not of her own. Because the original artist was deemed not cute enough, therefore was replaced by a girl who was prettier.
@Pilotsofer she asked langlang about his opinion regarding lip singing performed by another person at the chinese olympics opening ceremony. lang lang simply did not want to comment on that because anything negative he says will perhaps cause significant backlash from the Chinese government, nor can he express any signs of support of such action because that will make him look bad as well.
roflmao, from the perspective of a chinese, let me tell you what lang lang didn't say as he boycotted the bitch (I would've made her lose teeth +more):
fuck you cunt "free world" "journalist" that put words into the mouths of chinese people
fuck you cunt "free world" "journalist" that explain chinese action by forcing them into the mold they created for china
fuck you cunt "free world" "journalist" that equate predatory questions with insightful questions
fuck you "free world" "journalists" that threw objectivity out the window when you fail to consider the millions of possibilities why a substitute singer has to come in:
the original singer has stage freight
the original singer had an operation
the original singer was sick
the original singer is bad at singing to wide audience
the original singer suffered emotional distress and forcing her to sing would traumatize her
@opeeum69 its all about marketing. why would you have an ugly whale in front of billions of audience around the world? western countries hire hot models/actress to do their performing, chinese government sure as hell can pick a cute girl over a less attractive one.
@fatnlazychinc ahahaha we now also know who's calling the original singer "ugly whale", ya bitch, fight for "ugly whale"'s rights while calling them ugly whales, roflmao, and this kind of argument is meant to be taken seriously? lol thanks for the laugh; b/c in china, no one thought she was an "ugly whale" by any standard, nice try at putting a textbook spin on reality to sell gossip; it is these "ugly whales" that will rule the "free world" and pick american cute girls to suck on our dicks baby
fuck you typical "free world" "journalists" that just ran with part of a story thinking you finally found another "got you" moment on china to satisfy your editor and your soviet style prewritten propaganda
and when a chinese figure stands up 2 boycott such scum "journalism", no no,he's really on the "journalists" side, he'd committ career suicide if he answered the question in ur face
u realize if there's no career in china,he's still got a career,if not more lucrative,anywhere else
fuck you "free world" "journalists" that threw objectivity out the window when you fail to consider the millions of possibilities why a substitute singer has to come in:

Who gives a shit if he answers it, jesus, what a faggot. Stand up and be a man, answer the fucking question. Just goes to show how fucking failure chinese music industry is, everyone commit suicide immediately
@Ragtime44Films That Olympic was held in and by China. And the reporter here was trying to get a chinese to talk about an incident in that Olympic (lip sync). Now you get it, right?
reporter fails. lang lang had every right to not answer that and when she pursues an answer to a question that he had already said he woudn't answer, he had every right to leave.
Well, the reporter was British.... they are famously known by their irrelevance, like "May I respectfully ask you, Your Majesty... Has the Duke of Edinburgh had younger lovers?" Fucking British journalism!
Estas pendejadas no se ven en cualquier lado, obviamente!
For the reporter: Wow... another one of those typical, inconsiderate reporters. :/
For the uploader: Do please try to understand Lang Lang's situation rather than just assuming he went mad and rudely decided not to answer the reporter's ignorant question.
what an idiot that reporter is. How sick was the question and why she picked Lang Lang to answer it. What is Lang Lang has to do with girl lipsinging? I'm not Lang Lang's fan at all, but at this moment he did a very right thing. That idiotic halfbrained reporter is lucky he did not smack her across her ugly kisser. I probably would, ot at least spit into her face. There are million reasons you don't ask Lang Lang question like that. And if she did then she is dumb as hell and should lose her job
i dont like his piano playing, but i give him respect for being such a gentleman. He realised he had a barracuda reporter and he responded in the best way possible. I admire that
Cheap journalism, Why did she ask LL questions that are irrelevant to his art. The whole world is trying to grill China, that’s fine, but do it to politicians, don’t do it to artists. Don’t think all artists are interested in geopolitics. Take Dalai Lama as an example, if it wasn’t for his anti-China stand, do you think he would still be so popular in the Western world? By all means condemn communism, but for god’s sake, this is an arts video.
at which part does he... "lose it" as the video title says?...
I don't get it.
I want my money back
I thought I was gonna see screaming, and like.. i thought he was gonna like fling the entire piano at her or something... but what he just stood up and got a towel?...
OH NO HE'S SLIGHLY IRRITATED HE'S EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED LET'S PUT HIM ON YOUTUBE seems more fitting for a title.
@crazyunicorn20 because he is fucking Lang Lang... no, honestly I don't really know. He could have been mad, the reporter could have been off-topic, or Lang Lang could have been trying to be gangster, who knows?
In China you must be very careful to say things that could be seen a "criticism", it could cost you your freedom. THAT is China. To me there's nothing wrong with asking that question... He's just to afraid to answer the question: "do you agree with their decision"...
Stalin and Hitler also send people to camps... China doesn't kill them, but the idea remains the same --> If you're not with us, your against us. If you're a pain in the ass, we will 'cure' you...
@flearis Axz92 aka ChinkShitEaster is a 120 years old Chinese pedophile which is convicted of 30 homicides in Virginia tech, he is now under mother`s basement arrest and his life consist on harrassing other YOutube users and hacking their pc, I will put this message on every video to warn the ENTIRE Youtube community about this criminal, so if he ever talks to you please BLOCK HIM asap or he will terrorize you and your family forever with his Nazi bullcrap.
@flearis You don't get arrested just for criticising the government in China. Every chinese tv stations are criticising the mistakes made by their governors nowadays and yet noone gets arrested. You only get arrested if you dare arrange a anti-government protest.
ps: Langlang is not afraid to answer this question, he left because he doesn't wanna hear this reporter to criticise his motherland anymore.
@flearis I don't think he understood the stupid way the question was put. This is typical of the Brit stirring things up to hide their own inadequacies. she is obviously racist and trying to cause trouble and make some 'interesting news'
Isn't it possible that he just to afraid to criticize the COMMUNISTIC regime in China, since he's from Chinese origin... because the fear of being seen as an enemy of the regime... Cause that's what happens if you dare to criticize them...
The reporter seems like she was provoking him then trying to do anything else. Also it seemed like a question that would produce a comment that would sale things and tarnish his reputation. What was she thinking. I have my comments. I have my thoughts. I love ASIA and all of Asian diaspora. We have our disagreements of course. These things frustrates me. What can you do of course.
I think Lang Lang probably didn't want to respond because of potential political ramifications if he responded honestly. It also was an incredibly stupid question to ask him, or anyone for that matter. I am by no means a fan of Lang Lang, but it was insulting to ask any classical performer this. I don't blame him for responding this way.
he "loses it"? he "storms off"? he's asked an irrelevant trap of a question where if he answers no he will be stamped by his country as disloyal, and if he answers yes the music community will criticize his artistic integrity. and yet he smiles, quietly says "i don't want to answer this question" and quietly walks off stage... the title and description of this vid are about as responsible and perceptive as that reporter.
1) It's not really anything to do with lang lang, or piano... so why ask him that?
2) He probably declined to answer so as not to have any comment on anything to do with the chinese government authorities. Say the wrong thing, and you may find yourself banned/censored by the chinese government.
@TheVyrox She asked Lang Lang what he thought about the whole chinese girl lip syncing thing at the Beijing Olympics. Lang Lang said to skip the question and she seemed to persist so he decided to cut it short and not get into all that - quite wisely. Respect and love to Lang Lang~
lol stupid scmp reporter, voice for the last romantic vestiges of humiliating colonialism in kong hong, in her mind she's exercising her free speech rights ~^^~
In one perspective he's a coward for not answering the question...but in another, he had every right to do that. Not only that, he handled it quite well. Most people would just throw the question back at the interviewer sometimes with a hateful question like "are you professional" or quotes like "put your manners back in (lol)".
@monicablowsclinton he couldnt have at least given a bullshit answer to the dumb question? like laughed it off, instead of storming off the stage all high and mighty as if she spat on him, then slapped him in the face? I could forgive michelangeli or richter or heifetz, but not bang bang.
watch his eyebrows! I love him :D He's like: "what the fuck do you want from me insulting my country, insulting me as chinese and insulting the little kid who's been lip-synched to just do it right in front of the WORLD for maybe being nervous" and I agree to his reaction.
Lang Lang is a high profile pianist, don't give him this report... He had the total right to walk off and handled the situation perfect. A total professional.
I strongly suggest that so called reporter to take a class call logic, cause she totally lost her direction in senses. asking people to common for Olympia opening as a musician?? what's the connection between those two thing? you should be ashamed "reporter" or "she". Go back to kindergarten ..
bag reporter asking misleading question, she tried to set a trap or mislead lang lang into a bad answering situation which might have him be losing honest and faith to his country or ruining his music career by saying a "wrong" word ...
ok people, stop crying, so he didnt "loose it"... no harm was done. christ "nikkitytom" i think you just want people to know you got a good job lol. i bet you only look in mirrors wen bashing. on a serious note tho, who cares lol
As a Hong Kong Chinese, I am shame on this HK reporter. She doesn't know what professional journalism is about. Sorry Lang Lang. I hope it won't happen again.
@radquadssjk Well, he was playing at the opening ceremony if you don't remember, not irrelevant at all. He just probably didn't want to say anything controversial.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lang Lang is a narcissist, obsessed with having people think of him as a genius, which is also why he sometimes deliberately acts "crazy" or make those stupid expressions when playing.
He's not that good a pianist, not in the world wide top 10.
the interviewer is so rude and nonsensical. what does the question she asked have anything to do with langlang or classical music? gosh, who allowed tabloid reporters to interview classical pianists??
When is the English-speaking media going to stop demonising China every opportunity they can get? I think Lang Lang did the only sensible thing he could here, and I applaud him for his integrity.
I don't see how the question had anything to do with Lang Lang, or how taking a stance on such an irrelevant issue could possibly do either him or the reporter any good. She was obviously just hunting for gossip.
The interviewer thinks she's got a piano virtuoso on the hotspot, but she is so out of place and does not deserve to be a broadcast person....and she persists!
the question was stupid, but if he was polite and smart enough!, he wouldn't have acted like an offended diva. instead he could have avoided the question in a more intelligent way (isn't he a """""""genius"""""""?)

@flearis I don't think he understood the stupid way the question was put. This is typical of the Brit stirring things up to hide their own inadequacies. she is obviously racist and trying to cause trouble and make some 'interesting news'

Isn't it possible that he just to afraid to criticize the COMMUNISTIC regime in China, since he's from Chinese origin... because the fear of being seen as an enemy of the regime... Cause that's what happens if you dare to criticize them...

The reporter seems like she was provoking him then trying to do anything else. Also it seemed like a question that would produce a comment that would sale things and tarnish his reputation. What was she thinking. I have my comments. I have my thoughts. I love ASIA and all of Asian diaspora. We have our disagreements of course. These things frustrates me. What can you do of course.

I wouldn't interpret this as storming off. It's more of a no-comment. I probably wouldn't have said anything either if I were in his situation.

I think Lang Lang probably didn't want to respond because of potential political ramifications if he responded honestly. It also was an incredibly stupid question to ask him, or anyone for that matter. I am by no means a fan of Lang Lang, but it was insulting to ask any classical performer this. I don't blame him for responding this way.

he "loses it"? he "storms off"? he's asked an irrelevant trap of a question where if he answers no he will be stamped by his country as disloyal, and if he answers yes the music community will criticize his artistic integrity. and yet he smiles, quietly says "i don't want to answer this question" and quietly walks off stage... the title and description of this vid are about as responsible and perceptive as that reporter.

1) It's not really anything to do with lang lang, or piano... so why ask him that?
2) He probably declined to answer so as not to have any comment on anything to do with the chinese government authorities. Say the wrong thing, and you may find yourself banned/censored by the chinese government.
He's choosing not to get involved in politics.

In one perspective he's a coward for not answering the question...but in another, he had every right to do that. Not only that, he handled it quite well. Most people would just throw the question back at the interviewer sometimes with a hateful question like "are you professional" or quotes like "put your manners back in (lol)".

However, Lang Lang is controlled in his temper. He talks like a gentleman and acts like one too. Thumbs up if yo agree.

Lang Lang is a narcissist, obsessed with having people think of him as a genius, which is also why he sometimes deliberately acts "crazy" or make those stupid expressions when playing.
He's not that good a pianist, not in the world wide top 10.
