In the world of science, a THEORY means something that is true and proven through evidence and observation... not something that is just a hunch... learn your scientific terms before you say thingss like "evolution has not been proven". Evolution certainly has been proven to take place. We have many fossil records that show evolution. We have fossil records of the development of homo sapiens(modern human) from more primitive human ancestors like homo erectus and many others.
Maybe he is a Christian Jew. Jesus was a Jew you know. That aside, thanks for playing a song that comforts my soul and takes me back to so many fond memories Jordan. As usual... nothing less than amazing.

This guy has to be the worst pianist ever. A computer can get as much emotion into a Christmas song and be technically more perfect even. There's a reason that piano plays are not yet performed by a computer at the start of the twenty-first century and that is simply that technical perfection isn't everything.
bullshit. who says jordan doesn't have passion, just because he isn't having a piano orgasm? i challenge you to listen to the music without looking at HIM or his IMAGE. (which, i'll agree, is far to "metal" these days") then tell me if you can tell the difference between that and some shit you might like.
and the answer is, you can't, because it's a cheap camera recording this video.
Fair enough, make a blind video of Rudess and a concert pianist playing the same song here and ask me to say if Rudess is the first or the second. What he plays here sounds like wood.
hes not the worst pianist ever. You're just jealous that hes better than whoever you're favorite is. I hate hicks like you who just come to videos like this just to spaz out about how much he "sucks". Id like too see you do any better
No, he's not the worst pianist ever, a random five year old isn't 'the worst ever', it's a hyperbole. I mean that a lot of 'metal' kiddies have made themselves believe that Rudess has the level of a concert pianist, that's bullshit, he has a typical 'I dropped out of classical education and focussed on rock music instead' piano sound, awful.. he can hit the notes all right, his dynamics however suck..
Your logic is undeniable. 'Prove that he does not have level of a concert pianist by showing you're better.', this argument is a fallacy for two reasons:
1: If we would both have the level of a concert pianist but I slightly better. Even though completing your task, Jordan Rudess still has the level of a concert pianist, proven true that which is false (logical fallacy) 2: Assuming he doesn't have the level of a concert pianist, but I can't play the piano. I would prove false that which is true.
Besides, if evolution were true, that means we're just random chemicals that formed in an explosion. When a bomb explodes, it doesn't create anything but destruction.
Would you even judge a person based on his beliefs?
You're just one of those useless internet trolls that society can never benefit from.
@risenfrombed, actually, evolution has been proven. The relations between species have been connected to seperation by continental drift, fossils have contained information confirming gradual change over huge periods of time to suit changes in habitiat. DNA testing has confirmed the shared genetics between species. Eg, deep sea fish have evolved to hunt with electrical impulse instead of eyes because there is no light, but you can see where their eyes should be. The bible, hasnt a shred of proof
@madpiratetommy There is no research showing that there is evolution? From Darwin (And even before that) all the way until today (yes this very moment), there is reasearch going on about Evolution. The only reason why we can't erase the words "Theory of" infront of "Evolution" is because of religion, which can't unfortunately be disaproven (just like evolution, btw). Read a book that's not the bible please. Educate yourself.
@RisenFromBed The bible hasn't been proven wrong? are you serious?
And yes scientific research has been proven wrong, but scientists are the first ones to admit it. Your bible can't be proven wrong because we don't know if it's true or not, but it can certainly be proven discriminatory, biased, and extremely cruel.
Dude...he was in Juliard at like...9 years old. If you have anything bad to say about him...You have down syndrome. And its not simple "Metal" Or "Rock" its Progressive. You obviously have some sort of jealousy toward him or some issue. Otherwise you wouldn't hang around his videos if you didn't like him. So please go somewhere else to rant. I on the other hand, will enjoy his wonderful, beautiful music and skill. Good day sir.
I really want to see a video of him performing Interstices. But while listening to it, I've begun to believe that he recorded it while posessed by the Spirit of the Lord and it is IMPOSSIBLE TO EVER BE PLAYED AGAIN!!! ... yep, it's that awesome. haha
rudess hardly uses unweighted keyboards... he was a pianist, not a keyboardist... he was the one to introduce the usage of one piano like keyboard only on stage, 15 years ago..
Channukah (or however its spelled) has crappy music. At least christmas music doesnt sound like a bunch of people gagging on asparagus whilst shoving a spoon in their larynx. Its just a better way to show off his amazing talent.
I see that every Christmas!!!

Scientific research has been proven wrong many times, the bible has never been proven wrong.
There are a lot of genres and of course you can't say he's better than Mozart, but he's definitely one of the best Prog Rock keyboardists.
Just because we are fans of someone you're not a fan of doesn't give you the right to go bashing on people because they are creationists.
