Xuefei Yang at the Classical BRIT Awards

[mishasita]

Hopefully she'll shed the John Williams influence, he's just way too uptight and clinical to be emulated. I'm not a Williams fan, obviously. Pasty, white, Protestant, Brits always forget the SOUL in their imitations of great art. Except maybe Jimmy Page. Jeff Beck? OK, he's great too. Tom Jones? I think he's Welsh. And Van Morrison is Irish, right? That's it, no other soulful Brits. I've run down the whole list - Page and Beck. Hold on, I forgot Duffy! She's cool. Anyone else?...Ah, Cat Stevens.

@mishasita ..williams is the single most great artist in the classical guitar world of this and the last generation like him or not he,s the man and technically streets ahead of anyone else in his feild as the great segovia said God had mopped his brow ...tom jones dont make me laugh and whats the soulfull brit thing there is oodles of great british talent your just being bigoted my friend take a chill

[mishasita]

@agapeyish Wrong! That's a word you should accustom yourself to, because you're sure to hear it frequently in your life. I am not judging you or your taste in all things, but I have frequently encountered your particular brand of self satisfied, smug, arrogant, tight assed, common thinking. I don't care for it.

[agapeyish]

@mishasita ;;sounds pretty judgemental&rascist to me i,m sorry your offended by my comments jw has spent his life dedicated to the guitar as xuefei yang too and worked very hard 50/60yrs on his craft clinical or not like him or not ,also you dont know me although you,ve made certain assumptions about me ,,,,your good ol brand of pasty white self satisfied smug protestant common thinking so and so ,,,take your shot ..!

[Pre114]

To be honest, i am surprised that there are no racist comments in here. And go, Yang Xuefei!

[tou658]

Pretty girl ...She speak English so well ...I love her !! (Taiwan)

[paulkaikwonglee]

xufei has a very cute and lovely Chinese accent.

[dochurna]

Incredible talent! The John Williams influence is apparent. She will only become better. Hopefully, she will travel to the US more often and to the Tampa Florida are specifically.

[M0ONB0Y]

wow... she can speak english so well... can't believe it... a chinese girl... @.@

[helehu39]

by the way, what' s the piece that is played in the beginning when the BRIT awards logo & 5tm & so on appear?

oh, and yes she really plays well i like her recuerdos most :)

[Atienne01]

so well spoken... go John Williams

[dalecampbl7]

that's pretty funny that guitarists are lonely...because she's right

[taishan0000]

love her madly

[adognamedsally]

Such an incredible guitarist.

[dawg00000]

Yet another Asian of color brainwashed to play music of straight white christian males. The girl should be playing a pipa, not an instrument of white cultural hegemony. The parents too are betraying her and their culture by listening to a straight white christian male like john williams when there are so many powerful role models of color out there. Sad.

[Ferdiad1]

@dawg00000

John Williams' mother is Australian-Chinese.

[dawg00000]

@Ferdiad1, then Williams should be playing a pipa and not wasting his time with the musical language of the oppressor.

[wgtroutman34]

@dawg00000

so you're not a Christian?

could that explain why you are so sensitive to race and culture, and blind of the beauty of mankind in itself?

[VictimOfBoredom]

@dawg00000 Idiot. -_-

[moralesm10]

she is so cool. =p

[JazzyZenBrotha]

She is such a beautiful woman

[statsrelick]

yup

[789vbc]

[steviej0289]

its funny that you say she "talk" funny when you cant talk yourself

[DijunLuo]

She's cute...

[paulkaikwonglee]

Her accent is cute, too.

[jeffreyclaudekevin]

chen zui should be the first.

[1996classical]

@jeffreyclaudekevin chen zui is her teacher !!

[VictorDanDan]

Her second guitar teacher is professor Chen Zhi

[kkkkkkkk1986]

Why isn't Zhi Chen?

[Rentaghost76]

I wanna marry her - Asian women are so damn cute and hot!

[mjmredleaf]

[dukedelta1]

@Rentaghost76 and american men are so crass and vulgar

[VictimOfBoredom]

[Zstriker]

[jnsotak]

[willashland]

[stfli]

Her english is so much better. And her accent is actually lovely. She is so beautiful and talented. God bless you, Xuefei! I am sure all Chinese guitar lovers always wish you the best. I hope you can come to Atlanta one day and I will lucky to listen to you in a concert.

[ralph0057]
