  • anyone know the name of this song?

  • He played it like a pro just beautifull

  • he really has talent:>

  • Comment removed

  • i sware thats a claranet

  • @insaneninja2010 NO its a soprano sax not a clarinet 

  • i like the real julian smith better

  • Now play it without the mic.

  • @Leowen2 the instrument isn't nearly loud enough for everyone to hear on its own. That would be a terrible idea.

  • How can you not like this?

    26 Beiblers have been on this page.

    I hate Beiblers

  • This music would fit in well in a romantic porno scene,,,, Just saying.

  • HE PLAYED THIS FOR YOU!

  • To all the haters, try and get that nice of a sound out of a soprano saxophone. That is a shit ton harder than just playing the song.

  • Simon's face xD

  • saxaphone? i thought it was a saxophone

  • @TheDesteos it is saxophone

  • As a saxophonist, there is nothing difficult or special per se about what he did. The most difficult thing he did was performing well in front of a large audience...He just put a ton of vibrato and dynamics into the piece, which is always good, but is not "a huge talent"...High schoolers can play this.

  • @xxna5xx exactly. there's nothing technical here WHATSOEVER. this guy makes kenny g look interesting. if he made it that far on the show I wonder how far I could've got lol. but obviously, nobody knows jack squat about the instrument on there anyway.

  • west side story ftw

  • thumbs up if julian smith brought u here

  • Sweet Sexy Sax

  • This is amazing :D

    

  • Fantastic

  • Everyone who plays any instrument say that is nothing special.

    Slow, beautiful music. Easy to play. I've been playing for 15 years and this kind of songs I played when i was 10 years old :) Thats all :)

  • @HugoGreen1988 lmao EXACTLY!!

  • god i hate it when the audience starts clapping before the act is over its annoying!!!!!!

  • really? might as well go to Britain's got talent and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and make the audience cry with my amazing skills of spooning and stacking

  • this is hilarious, yeah he was good but it wasn't something extraordinary or something! i play the saxophone too and i can probably do this!

  • haha eugene :))

  • Ron Burgundy should come on here and play the Jazz Flute

  • That was a really sucky sound on that and he was NOT anything fantasic, all saxplayers plays like that, its totally normal.

  • @ERIK000000000 A Saprano sax (the instrument Julian was playing) is the hardest to keep in tune and the fact that he pulled it off fantastically was impressive.

  • i dont understand, what have this of extaordinary??

  • I think this guy sounds amazing. My son plays classical clarinet, flute/ picolo and just recently has picked up alto and soprano sax. I am sending him these videos of Julian as I think he will love this guys playing. So humble yet so talented. Go Julian. Great to hear such a talented player.

  • Play it without the mic.

  • It's like these judges are trying to compare the noises coming from that sax to a human voice. Hitting and holding a high note for ten seconds with your own voice is a whole hell of a lot harder than simply blowing air through a tube and holding a button down. That was possibly, just possibly enough to go to the next round, but nothing near enough to deserve any sort of semi final appearance.

  • @Riverweasel09 playing saxophone isn't that easy as you think. I play guitar myself, and people think that's easy too. As a musician, you appreciate other musicians faster, because you know how hard it is. You can immediately say that you aren't one. I know singing is difficult too. You just cannot compare those with each other.

  • @Riverweasel09 There are more singers than people that play the saxophone.This was a rare appearance on Britain's got talent.I bet you don't even play saxophone,so how could you possibly know if it's harder than singing or not? You get out of breath alot quicker doing the sax than you do singing.Learn something before you judge someone's musical skills.

  • @Riverweasel09 I speak as a vocalist and an instrumentalist - both forms are equally difficult and lovely. If it's just as easy as blowing air through a tube, then singing is just like talking but louder and longer. Knowing how to operate an instrument, knowing precisely how to hold your mouth and fingers, and how to manipulate the air through the instrument is just as difficult as knowing how to shape your mouth, where to place the sound, and how to manipulate the air through the vocal chords.

  • @Riverweasel09 I actually agree the piece e played was not technically that difficult (fingering) I play clarinet and soprano saxophone, but what made his piece amazing was the sound the saxophone made. I will probably never be able to make my saxophone make such a sweet sound. To make it sound so good is incredibly hard, the shape of the mouth, the position of the mouth piece and not letting any air creep through on the high notes is incredibly difficult.

  • @Riverweasel09 Dude, have you ever played a sax? I've blown through one before and its a hell of a lot harder than you think. And its not just holding a few keys down and blowing, its about controlling your breath. The way you form your mouth and not to make a squeak. Don't even get me started on the amazing febrato he was able to produce.

    I play the oboe and I also sing. Playing something like the saxophone (or flute for example) is a hell of a lot harder than singing. Why? You use more breath

  • @DeathEaterChic16 well, i wouldnt say a hell of alot harder, theyre both equally hard in their own ways. but he did sound great.

  • @Riverweasel09 jesus christ you sure are stuck up and misinformed

  • Thumbs up if you got here from Julian Smith's parody of this....

  • for real? I've heard a lot better things come out of a saxaphone.

  • As a sax player this annoys me slightly, as all he's really doing his holding on long notes and playing through an amp, if he didn't look as cool as he did he wouldnt have got so far.

  • Amanda I think you cry everytime

  • I MADE THIS FOR YOU!!!

  • @txasrnger That's what I thought as well

  • It's a saxophone soprano ... some of the best are made by Selmer .... but it's not an amazing perfomance

  • And of course, this Julian Smith is a black guy, so ironic.

  • the saxophone is a combination of a clarinet and a trumpet.

  • @jon96ify that was at @vitormangraviti

  • That is NOT a saxophone! It's a clarinet! This is the first musician in the world who doesn't know the instument he's playing.

  • @vitormangraviti niggah, please! google soprano saxophone and come back later.

  • @vitormangraviti wrong. It's a soprano saxophone. Look it up before you spout off.

  • @vitormangraviti lol I play the clarinet and that is not a clarinet......fail...

  • @vitormangraviti That's a Saxophone! The Clarinet have much less pistons.

  • @vitormangraviti

    U dont know whut instruments u tellin is look like, a clarinet is shorter mostly black and is a woodwind instrument nd not a sheetmetal one...

  • 1:23 he's getting high ^,^

  • I came here from Eugene  :P

  • hey, does this song have a name? if anybody know that, please tell me!!

  • I came hear from eugene too he is amazing kkkkkkkk

  • @pauloricardolethal Hey, I wanted to know too so I looked it up :p It's 'Somwhere - Westside Story'

  • @HazardousBeast22 HAHA me too lol

  • @HazardousBeast22  eugene oregon

  • i thought he was going to rap or breakdance or anything like that hahahaha XD

  • he's ok..not as good as sexy sax man...

  • Wow. Brits are really talented.

  • THAT`S NOT A SAX!

  • @asdejeya its a SOPRANO saxophone. because its higher than the alto and tenor sax its shorter so its similar to a clarinet. the alto and tenor sax have the conventional shape you are thinking of

  • @ARCANINE6 :o THANKS 4 THE INFO! :D

  • @asdejeya hahah right, thats what i thought..

  • @MsKhallas lol! xD

  • "Somewhere" from West Side Story

  • @anabellesparrow thanks :)

  • pls,what is the name of this song? i know a part of the text,but not the name :(

  • @gothiclady007 "Somewhere" from West Side Story

  • I used to be a saxaphone player and then....................I took an arrow to the knee

  • Amanda: The well-dressed-good looking clapping seal.....!

  • he should play more in the high register

    it sounds so damnnnnnnnn good!!!!!

  • thats fucking beautiful.

  • anyone has a clue what song is he playing??

  • @BABILONKA "Somewhere" from West Side Story

  • @BABILONKA "Somewhere" from West Side Story

  • wow, wow.....wow!!

  • @saxitysax Seeing as your comment was posted 3 months ago, I can only assume you've been kicked out of whatever music school you were going to by now. If you haven't, you should consider changing your major. I am a saxophone major too, and I couldn't even listen past a minute.

  • suprb...

  • actually, I played that song, at my first year with my alto saxophone, 3 years ago, the pitch was a little hard for me though, but with time it's easy. and it's not jazz, or blues, were everything is more complex, and yo have to create random solos. And I was like 10 I think. But it was a great choice, soothing, relaxing, but it's not something that amazing.

  • ok im not being nasty and im not hating so please dont troll me im saying this before i comment,

    im sorry but im just not feeling it with this music

  • they need to fucking shut the fuck up when hes playing holy shit

  • @MrPigglesworth fuckshitcockpenisvagina

  • Saxophone music is so soothing <3

  • the end was amazing loved it..........

  • which song is this?

  • Hes good. But can he beat Epic Sax Guy?!

  • I really love british people..

  • Seriously? Every conservatory student would play this with no effort.

  • Bleh... chllls, everytime....

  • The sax is the perfect instrument for songs like this which come from musicals. It's about the closest thing to the human voice that you can get without actually singing. Brilliant performance

  • @bromixsr Actually, Cello is the most closest to the sound of singing.

  • I don't like wind instruments... but this was amazing and I loved it

  • @LissiiWebber Brass instruments lol

    

  • i came here after the Bodybuilding Moonwalking Michael jackson wannabee!

  • Wie schön kann die Musik dein, wenn man das Leben vergißt. :-)

  • that is so not a saxophone

    

  • @ForeverDivaPink please read more about saxophones from wikipedia

  • @ForeverDivaPink you dumbass that`s a soprano saxophone the highest one.

  • @thomas13est well you didn't have to mean about it, I just didn't know it was....

  • @thomas13est Actually in recent years technology has made it possible to create smaller saxophones such as the sopranino and soprillo. They are a bit too high for my liking though!

  • @ForeverDivaPink Yes, it is.

  • That us Angel of Music from West Side Story

  • Beautiful! What happened to him?

  • @queenpalm2 I ate him

  • beautiful utterly beautiful..........

  • He makes me weep... beautiful

  • NO SOUN TOO BAD

  • @MrChady1 You sound too bad you retarded

  • I am a saxophone major and this shocked me it makes me honestly wants me to take my bari and through it in a corner and take my dusty soprano case blow it off and learn the song hes plays because he plays beautifully and i can tell you why he is what a musician is expressive,passionate, and puts his emotion into music because music and art are pure raw emotion.

  • @saxitysax You should learn how to spell first. :D

  • Comment removed

  • @saxitysax U play the baritone wen there is a soprano in ur house!

  • @MrPranoy bari sax is what i think he means

  • @itachi456789 I now wat he meant. I was just kind of surprised at the statment

  • @saxitysax there is no such thing as a "saxophone major" as a title/profession; and you aren't an experienced saxophone player yet, you're 14. There is nothing really impressive about his performance, anyone at a high school jazz band or youth band is capable of playing what he played. It's the basics,(, dynamics, feel, control, timing breaths) anyone who pursues jazz performance at a university pass's this level before auditioning.

  • @saxitysax You are honestly a dumbass. While this may have expression it shows no skill whatsoever. I am a sophomore in high school who mainly plays alto and bari. I have been playing soprano for about a month and I can play like this easily. The fact that you are a sax major worries me since you are so affected by this mediocre performance.

  • @TheFish4884 Amen, brother. Calling this mediocre is an insult to mediocre musicians.
