Every term, the students in my program run a for-fun talent show. Last year, I chickened out from playing, and I really regretted it, so this was a redemption of sorts. This is Cateen's rendition of Jump Up Superstar from Super Mario Odyssey.
Every time someone else does a piano performance on KZfaq, I hate that they point out mistakes that they made that I wouldn't have noticed anyway. Anyway, time to do that. As I mentioned in the video, I rushed so much without even realizing it, because I was so nervous. The pedal was slipping away from me too, so I was kind of mind-flooded for most of the performance. I had this song really well rehearsed but I just couldn't pretend like the audience wasn't there, unfortunately.
Even with all the mistakes, I still feel good posting this video because 1. It's probably still impressive to 99% of people, and 2 It's good to post imperfection, to show fallibility in a world where only the best takes are shown (i.e. it's okay to make mistakes!). I was also pretty happy with my story at the start, I think that was pretty well executed for a shy person like me, though I can definitely work on reducing the number of filler words I use.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. This song is so fun to play, and easier to play than it looks, so definitely give it a shot. The sheet music is free on Cateen's channel so check him out.
