2) Golliwog's Cake Walk

[goshbeergosh]

a 7 year old kid can play Debussy like this.

[Jaxxey98]

What the fuck???I am 14 and I am playing this piece not good as she does.And she is 7????WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

[leeeeeeeeeelelele]

She's Asian, what do you fucking expect?

[benjaminorth]

at the start at like 0:12 when the melody comes in from the right hand, on the second note she plays either an F or a G instead of an Ab -_-

[TheKsk1997]

This shows if you've got talent , doesn't matter what age you are ..

[johncmolyneux]

I'd love to see how good she is now, 18 years later!

[magolu71]

good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!good!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NerakCraze430]

so far I still can't play this well, how come this girl can do this crazy thing?

[wirwe]

i don't wanna know how many hours per day this poor little girl is forced to practise the piano. unbelievable.

[thinkbigize]

how old was she at the time in 1993? Obviously this girl is gifted. Any more recent performances?

[CrAzY4CiNdY]

i feel soo unprofessional now. ._.

[LeadSinger892]

I learned "Mary Had a Little Lamb" at seven and thought I was so awesome. . . ha!

[EmilyBearfan]

@LeadSinger892 Well, it is, but you probably didn't start at age three like she probably did. Neither did I... O.o

[jcowboy123]

you go girl !!!

[Kestrelfire]

and of course, she's asian.

[cki765]

Ok, 9 people may say they don't like this video, but we all know they just finished learning how to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

[reefgirl994]

Amazing.

[bh4bm]

i wish i could play that lol but not like she was she did the stevie wonder

[GoatMelon]

Wow do I feel inferior......

[mrsbff123]

[DieAnderenWesen]

[Shonengirl595]

ha, way to get into it.

this girl is amazing.

[llVeXXll]

Haha! My teacher used to do that and I was the one like what the heck are you doing!?

[plasma27]

I feel so untalented now.... Child prodigies make me feel bad. :(

[KarenBilson]

Incredible sense of rhythm! The tempo is spot on all through the cakewalk!

[sugarpuppies10]

you know what's really creepy? my piano teacher tells me that i've played this piece before (in 4th grade) but i don't remember it at all. I mean, i've heard this piece before but i have no memory of playing it. and I'm in 8th grade now...

[BoredRUs]

how do her hands reach?

i'm 17 and learning this right now.

[sn00pyiscool]

hehe so cute :b

[GreenChristine1219]

It's always the asians...

[kfactor5]

@GreenChristine1219 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MoviesExpertable]

OMG!!! She made me Dizzy!!!

[mrsbff123]

[grace7281]

這個小女生好可愛

[silverglitz]

Excellent tho......

[blargansniggle]

@silverglitz I know right?

[pinkstarflower]

haha this vid was taken the year i was born ^^

this little girl is really incredible!!! this song may sound easy, but it's not, really~~~ and she's sooooo expressive for a 7 year old~^^

[TLeteger]

lol golliwogs are funny faced dolls

[hihilol0123]

GO ASIANS!!!

[TheSdenne]

hmmm, I don't see her name. 17 yrs ago? She must've given many concerts, by now. Exceptional intonation, at that age. I can "hear" the frogs leaping about. Any other songs by this, now older, girl (lady)?

[bazonce911]

it was good and shes adorable i mean shes bobbing away and trying her best and honestly it was good. if u say anything bad about it ur a douche

[PalmsThirteen]

Boy am I surprised to see she's Asian . naaat!

[endafirlif]

this is the noobish version. but im still in shock. thats amazing that she can do that.

darn those asians, making everyone else feel lame.

[oxsmashbox]

I'm learning to play this song right now and it is so not easy.

It's hard to reach a really fast tempo without missing a ton of notes.

bravo!

[hampsterbb]

omg i wanna grow up to be as good as her xD haha i'm 15 and playing this piece :P she makes me feel like a neophyte xP good job~~~ ^^

...i wonder how many keys she could stretch back then O.o'' *amazed*

[wackydude3333]

Why Asians all so good at this?

[jetibest]

@wackydude3333 cause they practice whole day.. >.>

playing the piano is all about how much you practice.. but not normal practice, i mean: Deliberative Practice;-) as said in Cognitive Psychology;-)

GoodLuck

[iloveharbour]

wow, she's quite great

[kathyki1998]

is this really a seven year old girl? i am playing this song too. omg she even plays it better than me.

[darkstorm908]

She's great, especially for her age. When did she start playing?

[monoamiga]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! This piece is not so easy....

[Miekzz]

love this performance!

[acorntechnique]

Super cute and so well played!

[ambitiion]

[thumperjunior]

[plasma27]

@kamiheart77 Me too. :(

[lifesgood929]

hahaha ilove her character =) very nice

[lowrider653]

This ist far the best play I ever seen in youtube. Perfect tempo!

Nice!

Congratulation for the little girl!

[Gr33nkiwi]

Debussy actually wrote a different tempo, quite a bit faster than this. But I agree she's amazing.

[MrBouboux]

VERY VERY VERY VERY good for the very very young girl!!

[yaniv26051983]

very nice to listen to this, little girl.  yaniv zamir, israel.

[alienat8198]

she is grown up now and famous!!

[adniv82]

too cute, she's too short to reach the pedals.

[Jude1892]

Great! ^^

[Ken2Kanzeon]

seven... O_O

oh my gawd, this is really good, if i didn't watch this i'd think it's a person of matured age...

at seven, my student is still learning 'do re mi' lol...

[carri6522]

Oh My Gosh! What a gifted little girl! I am amazed.

[marinapop95]

oh...such a serious little pianist...cuuuute!

[j2b2man]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!­!!

This is the funniest thing ive ever seen.

hahahahahaha

[marina7ayu]

soo cuute :):)

she needs a higher chair lol

<3

[jes719]

she is incredible.

i cant even play it.

[wwwplaywithpassion]

envy? wot to bob up and down and play with errors and too slow? damn it, i must be mistaken as i thought envy was wanting to be good?!!! oops, silly old me again.

ok, shes the best ever to play such complexities at such a young age, please let me buy all her recordings NOW, I was wrong to make negative comments!!!

[lalikarl]

I read here a lot of envy...

[peanutbutter997]

i played this song when i was 11,god was that hard!!!! she's extremely talented!

[4ft3rmath]

HAHAHAH this is so cute!! this seems so un real. great job!

[pianochick1]

Very cute and well played!

[zananzun]

who the hell said kid could not play Debussy ? she is so sweet with her own style.

[hailfairgoddess]

i love the way it's played! age 7, fantastic! by the way, you should disable the comments - some people are just so negative.

[manouel41]

ils sont fous ces chinois ! elle a du en bouffer du piano, abusé !

[TrulyTea512]

something about chinese abusing piano, bleh my french is bad

[v3le]

this is not shubert, she didn't hurt her fingers, and for sure she will be a concert pianist... just check her adult videos!

[ekhornbeck127]

Indeed... this is Debussy... and seven years old or not, this version is shite!

[v3le]

if you think this version is shite then nothing may please you in this world, have you think about suicide???

[ekhornbeck127]

have you think about suicide???

what does that mean?

hey, have think about speaking proper english!

your mentality worries me here, i mean why should i think about killing myself just cos some kid cant play the joanna? you've lost the plot my friend... get help, quickly.

[v3le]

haha the kid cannot play debussy... i can't speak english... how such a picky guy like you can you survive in this imperfect world? btw, i don't need to speak english properly because it's just my third language... peace.

[ekhornbeck127]

only three!

[paul737373]

i like this asian girl! she has very good feeling of music!

[ekhornbeck127]

you like asian girls huh... really? do you not think that maybe you should be interested in asian girls who have at the very least passed the age of consent... you sick bastard.

[paul737373]

what's wrong with you???!!!! i just praised she has good feeling of music and played good.

Guess you are a boring jealous white woman. (that's why you are mad about someone liking asian girls.) IF not, then you has poor ability of understanding other's words.

[lbarringer]

who is she??

[boringgirl101]

WOW 0.0!!! This kid plays the piece 100x better than me, and I'm like much much older than her!

[JoniAnwar]

ARE YOU KIDDING, this girl is amazing.

[jussiejose]

Interpretação brilhante!

Realmente "Impressionista".

[soogoonu]

hah precious! *appalause*

who better than a child could play this piece?!?!

[musicclasical]

good play 4 this age

but this tempo is to slow.....

and the body move to many...

[ekhornbeck127]

i agree... she is useless! LOL

[geigy]

Wonderful - I don't see how she can reach those octaves!

[Naizingi]

awesome!!

[sheeriohs]

This little girl shows not only great technical ability but also true maturity in her understanding & connection to music. Bravo!

[yogurtsea]

小女孩的真情演奏

不容易

[tudameltwins]

Gosh this girl is excellent! nice touch.. good feeling.. i can tell she's having fun

[lineabeta]

That was a reply to bubylugo88, btw

[arturanna2000]

She is so small and talanted!It is very nice!Super job!

[tudameltwins]

wow this was flawless.. good job kiddo!

[Furlies]

LOL - adorable x3

[asorescu]

She is adorable. This is not an easy piece for a 7-yr old. She is so talented and charming - so involved in the interpretation. Five stars little girl, you made my day!

[bubylugo88]

no feeling...i know you're young...and so look 4 something more easy if you play that way!!!

[lineabeta]

If you've nothing nice to say, don't say anything. Keep it to youself next time.

[bubylugo88]

ok ok, but let me say something: i really like kids playing piano, here there are a LOT of kids like her...but WHAT i don't like is that adult people force children to study and to play something that they really can't afford! I don't think that this lovely baby wanted really to play debussy...i see it more as an IMPOSITION of someone who want to keep her STUDY and STUDY...i feel it very sad for her

[bubylugo88]

i have nothing to say about the fact that she's VERY GOOD....i play the piano and i admit i'm not at her level (even if i'm 19 y.o.)! I cannot play Golliwogg's Cakewalk (i've been studying for only a few years)!!!! but THIS is my impression (the one i have already written)...so if she can't play it very good (obviously is a miracle she can play it in SOME way, because is So hard for a little girl like her) i think PEOPLE SHOULDN'T FORCE HER. Stop.

[Darktom119]

it's apost to be a bit faster but its cool, isnt it somet like grade8?

[Ronc777can]

It's really good. She's just a kinda short though..., it would be probably a lot better if she had one of those benches that go up and down that we have nowadays.

[Chewy427]

im gonna do grade 7 and i still haven't learnt past the first two pages! She is amazing

[Ellebellebig]

so cute! and so good! ^^

[msintrprttd]

wow amazing lol i cant even get the past the first few measures

[tornillodepapel]

o_O ¡Me imagino que habrá ganado la competición!

Quedé enamorado de esta nenita... una grossa!

[mtvesselles]

Some very young kids who you might call 'prodigies' play with a cold, 'programmed', mechanical feel but this child is playing with real expression and - importantly - appears to be enjoying it, which in turn enhanced my enjoyment of the (favourite) piece. Wonderful.

[mobusdorphin]

damn, she's hot isn't she?

[mozart20dlubos]

You're crazy.

[bubylugo88]

you're SHIT!!!!! she's a little girl, you're a DIRTY SHITTY MANIAC!!!

[raresnijboon]

Holy Cow!!!! I am learning this song and I can hardly even get through the middle part! And she has perfect timing! I mean seriously. This whole thing is nothing but weird timing and weird sounds to make a fun song! How many of you could do that?

[angela1894]

Is the song difficult ? It sounds easy. How long have you been playing the piano ?

[monkeynmusic]

same. i am learning this song right now. meh.

[piano50]

Wonderful! I love this song!

[mozart20dlubos]

Am I the only one who likes just the beginning part of this song ? I don't know what it is about classical music, but classical songs aren't always consistently good, it's like the composer has a few flashes of brilliance here and there, but just 'wings' it for the rest of the song.

[monkeynmusic]

i agree. and i love the beginning part too x]

[dehippekabouter]

Great!

I like the fact that she has to change places to play everything... It's not the best version I've heard, but it's the best 7-yo-version!!!

[xoxkittykat]

I've heard better, but thats EXTREMELY awesome for a child her age!! Great job!

[AriesGoddess92]

Wow, she's so cute + GOOD!

And...NO FAIR!

I have always wanted to learn how to play!

[PlayTheFox]

This is meant as no offense, but if you notice a lot of the young prodigies are oriental. I think Americans must be lazy. Once again no offense.

[shuttup123]

what the fcuk ... no offense too... ther... take that...

[mozart20dlubos]

Did you just refer to her as 'oriental' ? What a rude prick you are.

[mozart20dlubos]

'Oriental' is a term reserved for objects, not people. Learn some manners, bozo.

[mozart20dlubos]

Shutup.

[bubylugo88]

you again MANIAC??? GO TO BLAZES....you make me VOMIT!

[mobusdorphin]

Glad to know my job is done.

[bubylugo88]

I hope this is only a provocation!!!!

[mobusdorphin]

it is as much of a provocation as you think it is.

[bubylugo88]

i don't knw why, but i think that oriental people have a special attitude in learning and also working hard! I know the fact of LEARNING because i study chinese, and my professor told me that learn to write and read CHARACTERS (their way of writing) make them develop a certain part of their brain which make them learn faster!!

[wykowski]

god this little girl rox!

I like her dancing to it.

It makes it fun

[jenymx87]

wow!! incredible! she plays great! and she's so young. is it u?? if so, congrats!

[Exorcisedfreak2010]

Seven??? You have to be kidding me. Dang.

[asafron]

so expressive!
