Chelsea performs on The Ellen DeGeneres Show at age 9.

[GreenDotDress]

@tornich1

what do you mean what's my point?

the cough cough part explained the whole point >.>

you basically responded to every comment on this video

and just to throw it out there it's very rare to find a person who would reply to a comment from 2 years ago -.-

[Maniaclaughter]

This girl is awesome. She plays very very (very) well. Also, I like how she looked disgusted when Ellen blasphemed. I hate blasphemy.

[bigmar1982]

u are so nice on keys keep playing and God bless u more and more

[ThePtizoi]

Wow ! Wonderful ! good luck for her

[cyclofrene]

For my reaction, she's performing, like adults want her to do. Just wait for her mind to evoke.

[souljaboiification]

@cyclofrene Exactly! The problem is that adults are forcing these talented kids to sit up straight at the piano and play a song without emotion, they need to teach kids to color outside the lines, this girl is too talented to be boxed in.

[cyclofrene]

Some think it's a mischief, but she's lurking behind of it. See? Wait when she's gonna have a go for it from within.

[814sprocket]

wow great !! but uh like ellen said she looked bored cmon smile, girl smile!!

[HelTra91]

why does emily bear get brought up in every video of a child playing a piano? we know that she is talented, extremely talented. Let others have the spotlight on their own videos.

[carldudesons]

its mozkowski etude wow~

[angelvy07]

Emily Bear has more feeling when she is playing!

[HelTra91]

@angelvy07 And Umi Garrett has more feeling than Emily, but what does that matter?

[usethefarce]

u are so cute one

[MchDrummer1]

who could tell me what's the name of that song?

[CheeseyPie101]

AMAZING

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

She is so Cute.

[49kasey]

@jordany777 You must be very young to make such a blanket four word statement without qualifying it in some way. How can you even compare a classical pianist with someone who leans toward jazz and who would rather compose than do anything else? It's not about who is the best, per se. You just do your best.

[Kwood4]

whats this piece called?

[toocooltocare96]

omggg!!! shes soooo gooodd!!!!:)

[VictorECooper1]

SIMPLY ADORABLE

[b00353]

I hope her parents don't leech of her talent

[musicels100]

Very talented girl, I enjoyed watching and listening.

[Adorableicious]

omg chelsea!!!! im so proud i go 2 school w/ u!!! aww ur so amazing!! im jeaulouss!!! now imma bother u w/ this wen we take the train home on mondayy (all outta love) :-D

[tacoluvr00]

this is good

[romanitza24]

She is very good. this is called virtuosity...

[baraettord]

57 people think they're going against mainstream. they're just annoying. lol.

[hco4af]

wtf. this kid judt plays the music. what ever happened to feeling the music ?

[TxTechRox123]

@hco4af someone's a jealous little fuck......lolz. Whatever happened to put up or shut up???

[abigalefaiy]

omg im 13 now and barely getting anywhere this girl is born and tought lessons and shes like amzing SHES 9 for GOD sake kill me it just makes me wanna give up with music and i know that wont get me anywhere i thought when i got an electric shock when i was born that it would make me some prodigy not some talentless teenage sado lol :D

[Luvisacrime48]

@abigalefaiy i feel ur pain =='

[xBeeecc]

sweet jesus shes good

[kidrainenfina]

grabe

[TheErrolll]

omg, i played that a few years ago. i injured my hand when i practiced for this etude.

[letschat6]

awwwwwhhhh she says she memorized songs from god. :')

[matt74055]

Bravo!

[Treyb2]

Wow...you've been at this a wow. You're fantastic.

[survivrs]

I love the discussion between Chelsea and Ellen. Ellen feels so inferior when she can't even get chop sticks right! lol

[choppinyews]

More classical then Emily Bear I can tell you that and 57 people missed the like button

[speedsac]

Reading the comments is more interesting than hearing the piece. There seems to be an emperor's new clothes mentality when it comes to musical children on youtube. Any child who can hold a tune and bang a note is amazing or a prodigy. To voice reality check opens the doors to a flood of uncheck hate. Talent and hard work is not enough.. A prodigy is a miracle seldom seen. Aimi Kobayashi is one,

[torinich1]

@speedsac Chelsea Dock is also a prodigy, but many people see her skin color and have difficulty giving credit where credit is due. Can you do any better? If you're simply an Aimi Kobayashi fan, go to her page. Why come to Chelsea's video and make unwanted, unwarranted and unqualified comparisons? You are the worst of the cowards: you disguise racism as a constructive criticism. At 6, she had more talent than you.

[Kofforda]

Its not that she isn't great, because she is. It just seems like shes playing it as fast as she can, so whats impressing is that shes playing it sooo fast and shes soooo young. But runshing a song too much, doesn't make it well played.

I'm not saying I can play better, and I she is really really good. I am truly amazed. :)

[torinich1]

@Kofforda since you play (though nowhere near as well as this 9 yr old, by your own admission) then surely you can graciously allow that nerves may have caused her to speed up the tempo, as with many musicians, professional or otherwise. What is impressIVE is that she is playing it at all. the speed is a bonus.

[awhitrob]

Moszkowski Etude op.72 no.6

[phelpslvr12]

whose better? Chelsea or Emily Bear?

they were both on Ellen.

[BeautifulMusic1000]

@phelpslvr12 don't compare Chelsea or Emily...they are both good on the piano at there own level of performance. They both have the dedication to stick with it. Its like asking the question..."A black lab or a golden retriever?" if you understand what I'm saying that is.

[LajitizN]

oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tomgirl51099]

i wouldnt to be able to play like that if i were 20

[jlc33300]

wow!

[trey28june]

she blows Tione Johnson away as far as talent in my book! This girl is awesome!!!

[EvanWaggerman]

Who wrote this?!

[sbooksta]

@EvanWaggerman moszkowski

[sbooksta]

Horowitz has an incredible recording of this piece. This girl couldn't play it any more dryly unfortunately.

[EvanWaggerman]

@sbooksta

Title? Opus number? all of that please...cant find it anywhere

[torinich1]

@sbooksta I suppose you could do better? well, i think we both know the answer to that... which is why this is a Chelsea Dock video, and not a sbooksta video...

[sbooksta]

@torinich1 Yes, I can play it better. She has a video because she is 9 years old and playing it.

[gmpeck322]

Does anyone know what this is called and who it is by? I have no idea but it is great.

[vanna9888]

I think it's lovely. I'm 11 and I play the piano too I teach myself a lot of songs but man do I wish my fingers could play that fast! And for all you tards!!!! LAY OFF!!!!

[screenflicker1]

@vanna9888 just practice more and more and more and you can be like her

[LooneyM3]

this is really amazing because she is not asian

[cprostudio]

wtf has that got to do with anything you daft twat

[LooneyM3]

@cprostudio

your a fag..

[isolatedmynde]

@cprostudio what does what have to do with what ?

[19Gui86]

@LooneyM3

LOL

[LooneyM3]

HOLY FUCK TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

thats good

[biggirlevie]

I'm SO jealous. I love Ellen hahaa <3

[gouloum2222]

no she 's not amazing she's boring.

[EminaHanic]

Don't give God all the credit! Sometimes people are just born with special talents.

[StatiusCure]

Chelsea is talented like that just because God made her that way, accept defeat , gf owned little 10 yr old kid omg owned so hard bring it

[EminaHanic]

- and you got to accept that not everybody believe in God...

[torinich1]

@EminaHanic whether they believe or not, 1 day, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess His name

[StatiusCure]

I give who the hell i want credit, whateva i do what i want 10 yr old fat kid gf , so hard owned

[torinich1]

@EminaHanic people are born with special talents because God MADE them that way

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

Sexy Kid.

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.

Great Piano Player.

[Shelby1241]

@AnonymousWhitePerson lmao love ur name XDDD

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

She is SOOOO CUTE.

[ccen1]

nice technique for her age but.....  sad she plays with no feeling whatsoever...

[zzzeebee23]

fkn know it all she's not mozart

[MrRicksStudio]

Mozart couldn't play Moszkowski at the age of 9, chronological issues aside.

[ccen1]

@MrRicksStudio Moszkowski was born 63 years after Mozart's death, and i don't believe you were there at the time to make such a judgement. get your facts straight..... you can't just put a statement like that and say "chronological issues aside"

[8javed]

Really love your positive attitude, Chelsea. You're one of those people who ever existed on earth that I'd clone - if I could. :)

[patrickchensley]

@ccen1 shes also nine

[TIPorchestra93]

ummmm what!!!!!!! shes amazing

[rameyes]

all talent comes from above..knew she was from brooklyn cause she was rockn the shiny name belt lol

[LLawlitaxDD]

wow she rockz ^-^

[EvanWaggerman]

THAT IS FANTASTIC!

[smithkaitlyn54]

dam shes good

[mikejr41387]

very ungraceful of ellen. awkward interview

[GreenDotDress]

*Cough, Cough* Emily Bear? She's only 6 years old

[froshizzle101]

@GreenDotDress she played at age six too

[torinich1]

@GreenDotDress Chelsea Dock has videos from when she was 6 and younger. What's your point? how well do YOU play? Where is YOUR video. sheesh!

[camcamomille95]

I bet that's what Alicia Keys looked like at her age.

[dars2607]

So what? She plays very well, and she is a nice girl who behaves normally. Can't say that for Emily Bear.

[tsukichu]

what do you mean? are you implying that emily bear has bad behavior or something else??

[Kitty95Cat]

what do u mean emily bear? what do u think emily bear does wrong, just wondering, do u mean her playing or behaviour? x

[cageynerd]

I always say this but I'll say this to you. When you were her age, could you play like her? No... Some were able to -- but those people don't have the arrogance that you have to put down a little girl. Go to hell bro -- what an ass you are.

[torinich1]

@cageynerd WELL SAID!!!!

[chutdigadut]

dude, WHO CARES? This is still AMAZING! What's the point of comparing these young prodigy kids? Just enjoy there gift for what it is. I'm pretty sure you were NOT able to play half this good at the age of 9.

[ShootingStarDream]

I will NOT say this girl isnt good..coz i started piano when i was 4 and i still cant play this kind of thing lol...its just, music is supposed to make u feel emotions..and this piece lacks ANY sign of emotion..Shes amazing TECHNICALLY but except from that...Which is why i agree with other people who say that Emily Bear might be better than her. Coz Emily makes us shiver by the sound of her music. Thats my opinion :)

[yalepolish]

total mindfuck. that... was beast.

[danceforeternity112]

You think she would dress for the occasion.

[tralee2006]

nice going chelsea...but for crying out loud look like you are enjoying playing and SMILE!!!

[PrettyNicca]

most piano players have that serious face thing going on...

[tralee2006]

not this piano player. i guess i've gotten to a stage where i like piano for engoyment whereas for some it goes past that and becomes more serios and they lose the smile

[markcruiser64]

It's concentration. A VERY developed artist.

[letschat6]

@PrettyNicca It's not that they're trying to show no emotion in their facial expression. We have to concentrate, especially in a song with that speed and amount of notes.

[darkstar1345a]

@PrettyNicca

the face is probably her trying to block out any negative comments by her parents in respect of her accuracy

[lordch111]

You sound like you don't know this, but it takes a lot of concentration to play such a fast paced piece especially in a show.

[barbieofsweden]

I agree with you, LordCh111. I have played piano since I was 3 and that was really good for her age to play that! :|

[blueskyyanime2]

yeah emily b. not only is six and extremely talented but has written over 130 song of her own even before her 5th birthday. this girl has talent but emily kicks ass!!! go emily!!!! :D

[edawg792]

@blueskyyanime2 Composing isn't everything. I think Emily Bear is overrated. She has good talent and skill, but I don't think she deserves as much credit as Chelsea.

And why would you bring up Emily Bear on a video that's not even about her? Stop trying to undermine the main character of the video.

[lorysg]

Utterly amazing!  Nobody could compare. Emily B is... may one say.... slightly precocious.... Chelsea is the best...

[imbored1996]

woah that is crazy!!!! haha i thought she would go up there and sing some alicia keys xD. but wow i am blown away.

[JonothanSiple777]

wow amazing

[eatcakebecuzitsgood2]

what about Emily Bear? emily is only 6.

[torinich1]

@eatcakebecuzitsgood2 Chelsea has comparable video at age 6. this isn't about emily bear. get a LIFE!!!

[BbYLtheoriginal]

O..M..G! i m speechless!

[timoteo123456789]

she is great but emily bear is far more impressive and gifted

[tightKnit]

How does one give her a compliment and then insult her in the same sentence?

Not taking away from Emily Bear, but this video is about the talents of Chelsea and she is indeed talented, disciplined and need not be compared to anyone else.

[torinich1]

@timoteo123456789 you mean emily beqr is far less black. MORON! go away! the world is better without people like you!

[KRDEAN00]

wow

[oliviacnb]

nice hair...

[AVABlinkDrWho10]

damn she'll get arthritis when shes older, but it what happens when your amazing on piano like she is!!

[Lenan94]

wow! she is really tallented!

[m1o1n]

retarded in normal life

[IheartVolleyball1]

how the hell does she do that???? o:

thats amazing

[EdwardCullenslluver]

OH MY GOSH amazing

[smoke117]

Not all musicians are also songwriters. She is an amazing pianist even if she doesn't write songs.

[torinich1]

@smoke117 and she does write beautiful songs :)

[careooo]

holy crap!

[xxpinkstrawberriexxx]

she is AMAZING!! <3 (and she listens to mariah carey, too.. <3) :D

[TEEFAKNEE4]

W0W!

[levinshon7]

what composer is this ¿?¿?

[puppylovergirl303]

holy crap! that girl's awesomely coolio!

[slikkyboy]

good lord! my fingers are cramping up just watchin that. amazing!

[Skaz32225]

Oh boy, she's playing the piano like someone is typing on a typewriter. So easy, so smooth, amazing. Wish I had her talent and skill.

[littlemisslula]

chelsea plays with a lot of ease - doesn't force her notes and has a few ups and downs in her music. emily is still learning this hence why chelsea may seem better. both of them are AMAZING and i would kill to have either of their talent/determination.

[galanie]

Chelsea has a few years on Emily, she is some 4 + years older. They are both very good, I prefer Emily but it's only my opinion and it's really not fair to compare them.

[shunnehling]

And emily can compose which even most 20 year olds cant do

[pollyanna4163]

holy. shit.

[mikech78]

Who gives a shit? They're both stellar piano players, especially considering their age.  Why does one have to be "better" than the other?

[treehugger012]

whyd ellen say idiot??

[mikech78]

She was talking to herself.

[Kateaclysmic]

Ask mikech78 said, she was talking to herself. As in, she shouldn't have been looking for a longer answer.

Having said that the answer the girl gave WAS idiodic, but that's not what Ellen meant.

[NeverAshcroft]

it was more like: silly me!

[panther0816]

lol she wasn't talking about the girl she was talking about herself. cuz the girls answer was so simple. she was trying to be funny.

[anzdf]

Excelente, Chelsea sera una gran pianista. Felicidades nena.

[whoknows2007]

Wow, fast fingers! However, I don't really get the impression that she's really FEELING what she's playing, she's just ... playing. Very well, I might add. XD

[Aever1988]

Me too, she's great but I don't have the feeling she puts her heart into it ...

[animemangalover5]

yeah I got that too- it was a bit mechanical...but good non-the-less

[chab911]

yeah thats what i think too :)

[josthebomb]

I agree that Emily Bear is better. Composers are the truly talented ones.

[swanningaround]

josthebomb. I don't usually compare. To my mind Chelsea is much much better than Emily.

[treehugger012]

oh.emm.gee. you are goooddd!!

[CavendishRobot]

i cant even do chopstick on the piano wtf

[ariellerox527]

wow she is amazing! i've never met any kid (or even adult...lol) who can play that well!

[BananaPancake]

Very impressive!

[2Looper2]

She's amazing!!! 9 years old, i'm still using one finger! xD

[gsfilo123]

ive seen younger ones the youngest ive seen is 5 years old

[UNCbasketball610]

It's like she has 15 fingers

[Toddy5800]

How can she remember all the nodes?!

[thalia121694]

probably from god .. lol

[doubleAKCunit]

when i play the piano the way i remember my notes is think of it as a finger dance

[samuelishmedia]

its easy to remember the music. muscle memory

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

A lot of music is easy to remember. But some are damned difficult. This particular one is quite easy to memorise. I've always had a lot of trouble committing the Chopin 3rd sonata first movement to memory.

[YankeeDoodlePoodle]

what year was this

[belhuux]

woow!. i can't even play 5 keys fast! LOL

she's amazing

[anikinhajorg23]

Chelsea and Emily Bear are great!!!

[absurd0502]

i totally agree. they put so much time and passion into their playing.

[4873664]

wow! love it amazing kid right there!

[rakey37]

U R AMAZING!!!!!!!! Rock on!

[theinexplicable1806]

I'm 13 and I can't do that . . . I couldn't even keep up with your fingers. AMAZING.

Sad thing is is that she doesn't write her own songs. (Chelsea)

And Emily does.

But they are both great players.
