Natasha in America's Got Talent Semi-Final

[k73f]

she said she didn't miss a note, when in fact she missed a lot. but she did a good job.

[LongMoneyTrey]

never call notes 'tiency wientcy" they all mater

[KittieKata]

What's this song called that she plays?

[k73f]

@KittieKata toccata and fugue in d minor by j.s. bach

[avayatrue]

great

[so2cute4u2002]

omg her older sister used to be my friend. i would go to her house and shed always be practicing! and then her sister showed me this vid and i was like wtf you didnt tell me your sister was on this i thought she just practiced alot!

[MenFuny]

u all idiots she is wonly 8 ffs whats wrong if all u grown ups

[JZS713]

I think most pianists would agree, not including Glenn Gould. But that is probably why great pianists like Paderewski, Rubinstein, Horowitz are known for playing composers of later periods.

[JZS713]

I'm probably being a bit harsh but it sounds like she's playing Rachmaninoff or Liszt rather than Bach. The baroque style has a different touch and feel i think. True, she is 8. However, I have seen eight year olds play harder pieces and well. Yes she is very talented, but surely not good enough to win AGT. If she was playing the Appassionatta Sonata or the Mephisto Waltz, then she has a good chance. But any baroque piece can be considered not a good choice for performance.

[dracoslover123]

@JZS713 I agree. While I am no great pianist, I still listen to and learn the technique. I agree that the feel was a little wrong.

[kevmarkpat]

lol The Hoff wouldnt know if she missed a note. Shes amazing

[ValkiriouS]

It's chaotic.

But, I'm sure that she can play clearly and impressively when she grow up.

[JavaCakes101]

guys she's only 8, give her a break. i think she's great for her age, and will be amazing when she's older

[SufferingPlanet]

And there are pianists who were better at eight.

[Xerxes3902]

ive studied piano for 9 years and this is not terribly imprsesive. she made mistakes and on moderate piece. talented, but not amazingly special.

[mintymoo98]

she's only 8 though

[socalguy2186]

What the heck is this crap? That was Toccata and Fugue in D minor for 3 yr olds. When I am on next season of America's Got Talent, people will finally see how well I can play.

[djphilmore]

lier lier pants on fire i heard like 4 mistakes she made

[Rasheeeb]

Haha i'm learning this..

But i don't like the way she plays it, parts are missing. :( and at 2:10 she is only supposed to use one hand. Not to mention the mistakes. Where are the other 9 pages?

She should try a slow song.. and add some feeling.

[crystaltee93]

I think she moves her arms too much. it's not stable enough.

[freeqwerqwer]

that's all chinese do. Acrobatics and classical piano. Big whoopee doooo!

[pinkprincess1010]

seriously ; imean dey need to

try sumthinq new imean daymm

[were2220]

u forgot math...

[Kalen1457]

Who made this transcription of Bach toccata in D minor?

[tomekkobialka]

F. Busoni

[desty1234]

u knw what .. there's should be a tool for a lil kid to step on the paddle ... poor Nat ,, the music gonna come out so much better with paddle ... sry if i speel it wrong but yall pianist knw what i meant.

[foreverpeace12]

wow i play piano and im only a beginner! this girl has real talent! she derserves a check!

[FunkyMunky5315]

actually rite now she is like 11 cuz we are good friends and she is like 100 times better now.

[jkllover12]

at 2:05 doesnt she mess up?

[percphs]

Yes. She does. This isn't the original either. Haha. By far. It's a wayyy watered-down version. Much simpler. But, nonetheless, she's great. And she'll be really great with age. No doubt about that.

She's not good enough to win whatever show this is though.

But she's great.

[BadFurDay88]

She plays it far to fast and makes mistakes, I'd have been more impressed if she played it at the right speed and without any mistakes, still got some talent though but not exactly a musical genius if you ask me

[DeathWolf348]

0:18  they're all excited, bahahaha.

[illidan123123123]

She is very good, indeed. But this has nothin to do with Talent. Talent is something that you're born with. And what she's doing is pure skillz and anywho can come to play at that level that's she's playing on. You just need practice. The only impressive about it is her age. Everyone is thinkin ''How can she do that?? Amazing''! BULLCRAP!

[chrisw1405]

You honestly thing you could learn to play a classical masterpiece note for note if yu dont have some built in musical talent? If thats true why arent all people who want to be, musical geniouses?

[auna234]

illidan123123123 ,

SO WHAT ?!

I call that 100 percent talent . You are just jealous that you can't play that well like her . Not everyone can play the piano, you know . She devoted her time and putting her talent in this masterpiece to make it sound awesome . Someone like you shouldn't say anything like that without thinking . "Pure skills" IS talent .

[Ziggy1614]

BAHA are you kidding?...Shes only 8 and shes already at that level...and you think she was born with no talent? By your understanding, wouldnt that mean everyone who only practiced music would be at the same master level. Your ideas are a joke.

[bbbaaa1813]

wow that waz amaziing cause of her age and ery thing

[JDSpiderman3]

shes hottttttttttttttttttttttttt

[DeathWolf348]

i hope you're a ten year old...

[michelonboy]

asko los chinos

[alexis6ladyhornets]

man that waz amzing i wish i could play like that some day

[PrincezzMoi]

its my name hehe

[jaybaybay22]

she goes to my school. :)

[NtracoCy]

what's the name of the piece?

[velikopakovanje]

The name is "toccata and fuga in d-moll". Bach. Great music :)

[mMBotz]

To be a nitpicker, its only the toccata in d-minor (;

[velikopakovanje]

I didn't know how to express myself on English, and I made a mistake... :) I'm no an American(o) or whatever...

[mMBotz]

Hey, no offense. :) As is said, that was just representing nickpickery ;)

[cinderpelt17]

this is really great! she picked a great piece to impress the judges with...

[liddoxpenguin]

She's my cousin. x]

[L33TOboist]

I like how she completely drops her wrist when one hand goes over the other. What a noob.

[annxiong]

aww that was FANTASTIC!!!

[Gearoid2006]

All you guys who are fuckin bitching, the original wasnt played as fast as she played this. AND SHE IS 8 OR SOMETHING!!!!!

[TFLE2]

shes great!

[ihrtmusic12334]

keepin classical music alive. you go

[FFPianoDude]

keep going, kid!

[Kalen1457]

yuk........exellent perfomance but I dont really like baroque music as much as romantic and modern.

[k73f]

aww shes really good!

[k73f]

wait nvm..... sorry lol

[Silent3pointShooter]

i think ....... tooooo fast

[ProtoCosmos]

It's really difficult to play solo in front of a large audience,not to mention a panel of judges included. If you're going to do something like that,you have to practice at least 5 hours a day. Any concert level musician does just that. Personally, I like to hear a few mistakes.

[xChinaDoll]

Just because certain people on here are pianist, overall for her age, it is very well done~

[rachmaninoffdarts]

2:06 wrong note

[klaxtriz]

shes not that bad!!

she played it waaaaay too fast though

[slytherin0queen]

im no expertt but she doesnt sound that good to me!

ive heard loads of people play much better

[shmalex888]

come on, srsly...

fuckin 3 hrs a day? no wonder she played like that! she's asian, and her parents are like, "U MUST PRACTICE YOUNG ONE, FOR THREE HOURS A DAY! U WILL NOT HAVE A LIFE, NO FUN AT ALL! PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!"

[Silkemaage]

3 hours a day is not a lot

[Nina931]

I beg to differ for her age it is a lot and Plus she plays beautifully, stop hating.

[velikopakovanje]

3 hours a day is not much! My friend who was the best in my country was practicing 8 hours daily!!! He was the champion... And your comments are not very polite. There is 6 billion people on the Earth, of course that there is better than she is...I don't think that you're so good, but you love to say that, 'cause you want us to think how you're the best one... Isn't it?

[ViCkJhee]

ááááánd, may i ask how old your friend is??? I guess as old as natasha is.... If he is older, than it's pretty normal that he practise more than natasha, OMG she's just 8 years old!!! She has a normal life too...

[velikopakovanje]

Yes, yes, he is older than Natasha. Natasha is pretty good in this... I like her... Greetings for you and her of course.

[Chrononmusic]

It wasn't a very hard piece really, could have more expression after my opinion. But that fact that she is only eight years old it is truly amazing, isn't it? She is only eight years old playing piano like 3 hours a day, I rarely see persons with such much motivation either.

[lailah89]

Only people who don't know anythink about piano can say that she is so brilliant. Of course she has some talent but honestly if I would play like that on some of my exams in music school I wouldn't pass! She can't keep the rythm and she isn't enough dynamic! She is good for her age but she will never be a virtuoso.

[elnansi]

I thought it seamed like the mother was pushing her kid.

[Guest3791140]

MAN! try moving your fingers like her! FREAKING HARD!

[berridreamer]

she plays so hard on the piano... as if shes hitting it...

[auroraamber]

There may be other children more apt on the piano, but Lord I wish I had her talent!

[ltlg]

I think she is good but I'm afriad she will never be good enough, there are just too many kids her age that could play the piano better with less practice. 3 hours a day is far too long for a 8 year old.

[shmalex888]

i agree! there are ppl who are truly talented, who practice less than half that time, and play better! i know from experience, cuz i play the piano, and i dont play feaking 3 hrs a day, i only play like 30 minutes or so, and i play better than her!

[KarinMozina]

yeah right..:) with 30 minutes a day...sure u are. and hm..how old are you? 8? i don't think so.

[risktaker89]

Wow, then i mus expect dat u're way more famous than her? And so wat if she really isn't dat talented as u guys said? It really is admirable for her to be able to put in so much effort for wat she does and she deserved everything dat she got from her own work...stop soundin like a jealous immature spoilt brat

[MissKimberlee]

she is really good :)

[XPancakeMix]

practice makes perfect, and she NAILED IT!!!

[kloekloekloe]

I am a professional pianist and i can say that there are thousands of children, even younger and playing much better. The music is not only how fast do you play, but what are you trying to express.

[nightsaturn]

You're totally right :)

[Silkemaage]

couldn't agree more. no expression, and a lot of kids her age is better. and i cant be serious about this when hasselhoff is talking like he knows something about playing classical piano.

[Kynio19291832]

hehe kiwa się jak żydek :D:D

[sunshinecutiebre]

wow shes good 4 8

[Nina931]

What song is that?

[Dragonrider123]

Johann S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue

[Nina931]

ty :]

[Silkemaage]

it is NOT a song..

[Nina931]

That is a song for your information. So i've heard the song is Johann S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue. She couldn't have composedxc it herself, and a song is a bunch of notes put into a melody.

[jero13595]

This is NOT a song! It's a PIECE!

[Kryptoman333]

OMG!!!! and ppl think i play the piano well ... (i play Fur Elise :P)

[Silkemaage]

wow............... haha

[finalgenius]

whats the name of the piece. its very relaxing,horror and genius

[Kinh9999]

this is what u call Talent. to me, Singin is not a talent becuz the if a person know the Notes and have the voice then that person can sing. A voice is a gife from mother nature, parents or God, if u have it then u got it, nothing talent about taht. Playing the instruments is the real thing.

[babemonalisa]

omg she did play good so what she made a few mistakes????? hoqw many 8 years old kids can play like her???????

[rockinforjesus]

what in the world do these judges know about piano?

[XAytherxRedictusX]

That kid is 10 years younger than me and 10 x better than me at the Piano. o_o

[rumplemasashi]

she's sooo cute!

[jacydc]

holy crow, she's going to be a wizard when she grows up.

[lancao]

Phew, you shouldn't lie about missing notes or not when you have an audience listening to every note you play. :DDDDD Nevertheless, she's amazing. But I can still see some bad things in her playing, but that's just ok ... even the best can't always make it perfectly.

[kiyabyers]

It would have been nice if she'd played a proper, nice-sounding piano song. There are people that can play like that or better that are the same age or just a bit older.

It would have been a lot better for her to take graded exams on piano than to be on America's Got Talent because she'd get far more out of it.

At least she took a stand to get on the show. :)

[azjw2007]

wows thats amazing and shes only 8. im 15 and i couldnt do that.

[epsben]

she made several mistakes

[sondano]

It wasn't good at all. There are kids who can do much better.

[jackjiezhang]

theres plenty kids out there play better than her, they just have to come on the show.

[psychic13]

Very talented little girl. :')
