An 8-Year-Old Acrobat Pianist on Ellen Degeneres

[MHortonIII]

Everytime I watch someone on Ellen do something my first thought is "Okay, I can do that" then I keep watching and my mind ALWAYS gets blown away.

[itzsarahB]

of course, she's asian

[KellyGilchrist]

THATS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

[coenmarneweck]

Music is a serious bussiness and should be treated with respect. This girl is a seriously good piano player and she should leave her baba-blacksheep tricks behind. I would love to hear more of her music. What is her name?

[Nisha63001]

Of course Asian child but well talent and very elegant she seems like a respectful little one Asian parents they do stay on there children once they are born to be successful in there life i will say that.

[Jareddevon00]

She's absolutely wonderful

[eunicelovegir4life]

I LUV ASIANS!!! LIKE... me!

[eresfsfsfsf]

im speechless............

[TheXyzizzle]

And of course she's Asian. Big SURPRISE :)

[Mnskittles98]

Wow...

[Sw33tLittleLady]

Damn, she got fast fingers!!!

[quickbrownwolf]

That was amazing. I did piano lessons a few years ago and i loved it, but i couldnt be bothered with practising every single day, so i quit and now i can only read small amounts of sheet music :/

[KellyGilchrist]

oh my fucking god! i cant believe what i just watched , NOW thats what u call TALENT! i want to play like that haha

[DadaAlano]

When she started playing, she was like possessed with some kind of spirit of a dead pianist.. or sumthin

[DadaAlano]

OH MY GAAWWD!

[b5lovermore]

BEAUTIFUL. God bless her.

[somebodycares16]

MOZART CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD!

[fapestar]

Man, i've seen adults struggle to play gnomen at this speed.

[zhilmyster10]

i hate it when people say about asians pushing their child to much, i mean not all of them do it because they arfe forced but fot the love of music.

[TheSwagBieber6]

SHE HAS NO SHEET MUSIC?!?! Oh my gosh! What a talented young girl! I think she has a new fan... :)

[hyundaihan98]

shes not asian! :)

[redphiveII]

i bet her mother wont force her to practice like all those asian mothers.

[AssaadDaoudi666]

Which neighbour can get annoyed of THIS!?

[EtudeOcean]

@AssaadDaoudi666 Because to play that well, she'd do doing the same pieces over and over for at least four to five hours a day. it gets very very annoying. 

[AssaadDaoudi666]

@EtudeOcean True that, but she can be my neighbor I would enjoy the music!

[julestags]

Now THAT was amazing What a little princess!

[chillathechinchilla]

Imagine her when she's older typing essays on the computer...

[s328169347]

@chillathechinchilla XD...you just made me laugh...

[BoredDank]

@chillathechinchilla ahahaahahaha

[babyqirlforever]

ive been taking piano since i was 4. now im 14. im not no mozarts or nothing special but i do know piano amazingly well. and after watching this i feel like i play with a broken hand. she is amazing.

[YesImAnAltoid]

she's probably the most proper 8 year old ive ever seeen

[spartan1081990]

this is sad, stupid brainwashed mericans are impressed by someone playing a level 1 piece, I really hope the world ends.

[ChocolateMadness5000]

@spartan1081990 shes fuckin 8 you racist bastard

[spartan1081990]

@ChocolateMadness5000 "OMG SHE IS GENIOUS OMG" "OMG SHE IS BETTER THAN THOSE GENIOUSES" shut the fuck up.

[piano803]

@spartan1081990 Excuse me, she played GNOMENREIGEN. That piece is one of Lizst's etudes, considered among the hardest pieces for solo piano. I believe it's beyond the grading scale. Look it up if you don't believe me...

[Smallwitz]

@spartan1081990 gay fish

[spartan1081990]

@Smallwitz spermswapper

[spartan1081990]

@Smallwitz sperm swapper

[Smallwitz]

@spartan1081990 ur a cunt , go live ur life as a cunt and have some more cunt kids

[spartan1081990]

@Smallwitz u cant even play a fucking instrument u piece of shit, so acquire some taste in real HARD music and then comment, I dont wanna have kids in a world where some poor fuck is impressed by someone playing a level 0 piece

[xLing93]

My expressions to this video..: O.O->>OoO

[owenrhysmagic]

I'm 15 and I'm grade 8 on drums and percussion and Diploma level on piano and I feel like fucking crap after watching this. There are loads of 'child prodigies' that make me feel sick cos they're crap but this little girl is truly amazing. Her musicianship is incredible and phrasing and emotion is astounding. There's a lot of potential here. Not like that crappy little uk 'drummer' kieran gaffney.

[hriseto2406]

After watching this video I fell depressed about my playing xD

[adavidphelpsfan]

my gosh! that girl has some major talent :D

[BeckiLouisee]

wow she has only been playing for four years :o

my friend has been playing for six and shes is no where near that stage!

[neazysoonocent]

I love her passion.

[Ruthlesslnsanity]

Children are amazing(: And EVERY single one has the potential to be a "Prodigy" no one is more special that anyone.

[JJFLIP101]

That's exactly what I do when I'm bored...

[barrents]

No, she is a robot thats why she looks asian. The asians made it

[dyston1c]

now thats a real prodigy, you can tell that she actually understands the music as well, rather than just be a robot with only amazing technique

[kadyshmady]

MAGNIFICENT

[andrew33323]

I see a scholarship in the making ^__^

[mygarage95]

I freaking love kids like her. Who truly loves doing whatever. She is all kid-like and childish (I mean it in a good way) when she's not touching the piano, but when she starts to play, you can tell she is determined and loves the piano. TRULY an inspiration.

[HiddenBehindShadows]

Oh god... those keys just got their asses kicked by the mini ninja fingers of an eight year-old little girl. o___o :D

[BlueEyedSoul21]

Wow... she will go far.  Blew my mind!

[PucktheFolice1]

she is the definition of sweet!

[5033481boy]

ok im just gonna be a retard..lol the tittle says Pianist.. hahahahahaha get it?

[sing745]

@made2dance823 jealous probably

[made2dance823]

I dont understand why you would dislike this...

[RandomProductions777]

WOAH its like her hands are having a seizure, but amazing, beautiful notes are coming exploding from within 1093589438254y28583901-58418/1­0 stars!!!!

[SaiPavel]

How come!!??? She's not asian!)

[Pianoman077]

i wish i was this good :(

[JordanClunn]

She actually has brilliant phrasing, unlike a lot of "child prodigies" ive seen.

[garyojlai]

@JordanClunn I completely agree. Most of the time, they just play in one block, she on the other hand, has beautiful phrasing.

[BoredDank]

@JordanClunn soo true.

[coenmarneweck]

I agree - what's her name?

[NickLovesPopcorn]

Amazing

[SuperGugis]

I started piano when I was 6 and my teacher told me I've got talent but after 4 years I didn't like it anymore and now I'm 14 still playing the piano but I practice about once a week because I don't like it anymore:(

[snailkit]

@SuperGugis take a break. near the end of said break, find a rock/jazz pianist you really like and listen to them all the time. (I recommend Ben Folds, but the choice is up to you.) Teach yourself some songs by said artist. Keep learning them, and expand your horizons from there.

I say this from experience (actually, I quit at 14). I HATED piano because I never practiced, and I never practiced because I hated it. But if you're playing the songs you love to hear, you're never bored with it.

[JordanClunn]

@SuperGugis Take it from me-you do NOT want to stop playing piano simply because you don't like it anymore. You've got to find enthusiasm in it.

[AakwardAardvark]

@SuperGugis ive played piano since 3rd grade or something and ive always found stuff i enjoy and i never practice what my teacher gives me.

[Musiclover1494]

Someone's going to Julliard.

[dragon143143]

i started the piano at 3yrs but didnt keep up when i was in high school. my piano teacher said i had talet beuond norm man do i regret not continuing now i am not that good

[HeyQRules27]

i play the piano been on it for 5 years and this just makes me look like shit.

[Blobbleblob123]

how can she only be eight years old.

[MsAuthor101]

She is very good.What I dont like is that some of you who are commenting that because she might be asain so she might be talented or her personality is going to be good.Look anyone in any race could be good at something at that age.It just depends on wether you practice or not.She didnt wake up one morning and was as good as she is now.She had to practice like anyone else to get better.

[stazrocks]

i hate it when people post stuff in videos just to get likes.

[shiningstars1997]

aww she's adorable!!! i fell in love with her after her "thank u very much" at the beginning, she is just so sweet!!

[aannonymous3]

No matter how good you are at the piano, there's always gonna be some little asian kid who can play better

[OniLordMiki]

@aannonymous3 Except she isn't asian.

[lindz257]

Lol we saw her first! Lol aha

[fendy321]

wow AMAZING !!!!!!!!

[Tinafigureskater]

Oh god... ouch! my chin just pounded the ground! I just love Ellen's faces qhen she stops playing!

[EmoRockOut]

this kid reminds me how boring i am I LOVE HER

[jgracelicata]

You have got to be kidding me.

This makes me feel so behind...

[1298musicluver]

Im laughing in awe!!!!!!!!!

[5829florence]

[saraifullofhappyness]

[a13jrsy]

[Kissy299]

[marysarabeth]

[KookieMonster1235]

5 People Can't Go Upside Down

[danny29914]

1:18 

[eraserchewer]

[smits92]

seriously, OMFG! 

[koalacutepuppy]

: O

[thecupidshufflerules]

It depresses me that children this young are more talented than me

[MrProctology]

umm, i just wet myself and swore at myself for being shown up by an eight year old...

[lissiem1]

Oh.

My.

Frikkin.

God.

[h0yin]

@lissiem1 Our God :D

[ddTAYdd]

wow!!!! its like the modern day female mozart!!

[WavebordingBunny]

OMG!! 

[Technotronic1996]

WTH

[duhhh86]

she's got real musical talent...nevermind the funny tricks...but really, just her pure piano-playing itself is enough to blow me away....

[xpinkxpolkaxdotsx]

so she had only been playing for 4 years and can do that and ive been playing for 10 and can just about play songs that are in the charts!!! OMG that is talent!!! you go girl!! xxxx

[18mackenzie18]

@xpinkxpolkaxdotsx whats the name name of the song?

[YeahGirl03]

she looks kinda like the girl on orphan. haha(:

[funfest24]

bahahaha look at her posture when she gets into it :P she looks like Glenn Gould...lol she is very good though

[AMANI52]

god bless her shes so cute

[papcyrill]

omg!!! amazing

[Blackcurrant122]

*0* OHMAIGAWD

[RonLarhz]

ok,this is kinda freaky...the song she's playin reminds me of nodame cantabile!!!!

this gurls rocks ur house down!!!!i think shes alerady grade 6 and above?!!!

[The6childeren]

THAT WAS AMAZING! She has some skillz!

[Soccer4ever0510]

goosebumps!

[shejean]

I bet one of her parents is Japanese (hence her first name of UMI). The Japanese make sure their children have top-notch education-and lots of it- and a lot of musical instruction. It certainly shows in this very talented little girl!

[Prissyrox4vr]

THAT LIL GIRL CAN PALY BETTER THAN MEH!!! (srry for yelling)

[headstronggirl4ever]

ahaha omg Ellen's face was priceless when she saw what she could do! xDD she's amazing ;]

[HandwhistlerBen]

How amazing and gifted a pianist she is!

[shawdavari]

wow. that was incredible. thanks for posting.

[theBaekgirl]

"We saw her first, everybody" haha! Ellen is so funny!

Aww! the little girl is so cute! She seems pretty smart for her age, and the acrobat-style piano playing was pretty impressive! :D awesome

[juanmikhael]

that was very impressive!

[skateboards86]

wow

[genesys117]

Wow! you got to love them :)

[Sanibu]

She looks just like Winnie Cooper, the girl from "The Wonder Years".
