This is more annoying than Cantonese. LOL

So, with those missed notes (squeaks) on the clarinet, I wonder what she actually said...

Her voice is pretty grating. Made the clarinet sound beautiful by comparison. And I HATE clarinet.

I Liked Pt. 1, but I Disliked Pt. 2.

I appreciate the work that Mr. Collins does, but to describe that performance...I'm not sure how to break this to you...wait, yes I am: SOLSIMI

This is not how you revive an endangered language.

[AlienEffigy]

Has she taken her medication yet?

[TAfTfilms]

1:33 Redore sisolre! Everyone laughs their asses off?! WTF is she saying? Why is it so funny?

[CBGB42]

There's a reason this didn't catch on; you sound retarded when you speak it.

[Timrath]

This is not solresol. Also, she sounds like Beaker from the Muppet Show.

[Lufttygger306]

AAARRGGHHH!!

[Beholderofocean]

The woman's pitch is annoying; I think she's trating as pitched syllables rather than notes that happen to be phonemes. But the tossing colored paper is hilarious. And FWIW Solresol is more flexible in terms of perceivable media than Esperanto.

[blizteria]

The problem is they aren't really singing. It's just a lot of annoyingly pitched speaking...

if they tried singing I'm sure it'd sound amazing!!
