It's for the best. Go look up what happens with the contestants on the show..

Yes, but on the other hand... Flight of the bubblebee

Yeah in France with "Prodiges" it's mainly classical music played by talented people

I refuse to believe that the girl violinist (Youlan Lin) did baby shark later in the semifinals

respect for calling it piece and pop song

I think it's because these are the only performances that actually aim to perform music, rather than using it to introduce a gimmick (or strip)

This made me laugh, thank you hahah

Just wanted to say... nice name

It’s because it’s just just stuff from the “got talent” tv shows sadly

@@whatchaseehoppy yes they are awesome 👏

It's a pity really, that for you to perform on that stage you have no much say in what you play. And I only can imagine what heart wrenching is that all those pieces that you love and practice are rejected in face of marketing because they are classical ones, as if... your musical choice is not good enough to be displayed to the public! (What a lie! And I wonder, what impression gives that situation to young musicians that are doing their best to develop their education/future career (mostly those ones that want to perform in this venue and find this)? Thankfully, there are other platforms/events where classical music is truly appreciated. (This channel being one of them) Sorry, I don't know if I'm expressing myself correctly here... English is not my main language, and maybe I'm looking to deep in all of this.

@@CL-jf8qs I think he was the only one on the show

Yes Elijah definitely wanted to do a classical piece! 🎶But that was a no go so he tried to stick some classical stuff here and there in the performance.❤️

And also we had practiced for the performance in A minor. But 2 days before we got the backing track and it was in C# minor lol. So we had to come up with something on the fly! 😂

That's what I was thinking. If one's looking for talent, just go to the de la Motte family at The Happy Caravan!

But that's such a self-fulfilling prophecy. They don't actually give the people a chance to be familiar with or get to know classical music. Maybe the audiences wouldn't mind. The TV shows just decide for them that they would probably hate it.

@@Casutama yea, exactly! Also sometimes the arrangements classical musicians play in talent shows just don't sound good, because the song was not written for classical instruments, so those shows kinda fool the audience two times at once.

"since [they think] the audience wouldn't get classical music" FTFY AGT clearly underestimates the intelligence of the audience (well, not saying that "getting" classical music even requires intelligence, but that's exactly the point - the show thinks that a good musical performance is too high IQ on its own, and needs to be more "entertaining" so that the audience gets it). In the Finnish version, they let the musicians be themselves, and talented musicians tend to do pretty well, regardless of what kind of music they play.

What a way to underestimate the audience

I know and I agree

@@veenusthampy8539 they are good, kindhearted lads when it comes down to it but serving us up that excellent saltiness when it's deserved!

Gordon Ramsay moment

@@lu-cipher YES!

@@kristbjorglara definitely the best way to do this kind of roasting :)

does he often grimace like that when he plays?

Yeeeess, he's an amazing cellsist and incredibly talented, just as all his siblings.

@@oxoelfoxo yes

I love listening to the arrangements the de la Motte family plays and am always excited when there's something new from The Happy Caravan!

That's stupid of the show.

YESSSS Im sharing this comment to my two setter group chat 🤣

@@Night23 Omgggg pls let me in there

I am concerned at how Brett thinks blood donation is essentially being hooked up to a vacuum cleaner though.

@@themathhatter5290 we all are fellow wanna be... We all are.

yeah, he couldn't help it, lol. what did Brett say that even ___ wouldn't clap at that point? couldn't catch it. captions say Ibo but is that legit?

I knew I wasn’t the only one that noticed lol

@@oxoelfoxo yeah ibo is their tone-deaf friend we met in a video a couple of months ago

honestly this kinda thing can throw people off and could make someone mess up the rhythm

@@EvanKaplanPianist oh yeah, I'd forgotten his name

Oh god 💀 I'm sorry they did that. I have cried after stages too 😂

He seemed to feel annoyed at it, the clapping definitely threw him off.

Yeah totally! Like there’s a lot of focus involved in this which is why people are s i l e n t during classical concerts. Like if one person coughs I’ll get caught up, not to speak of many people clapping “on beat”, putting even more pressure on being on time, plus making it difficult if you have tempo changes. Literally every song I play has a dim or acc, or a rubato. What are you supposed to do then if people are clapping?

@@Miipmiip You tune them out of your mind. On a stage like that, you're not playing for a typical audience. They'll cheer and clap whenever they feel stimulated. Best thing a musician can do is ignore the audience and focus on the music.

@@CopShowGuy yeah. I’d personally have to practice with family etc to start clapping at random points so I could get used to the initial distraction

Me too. Imagine if that happened in a real concert. Oh, wait. It has!!!😂

@@carollewandowski7192 yes, but clapping is at least better than a ringing smartphone at the end of a fermata. Hahah!

@@allie7480 They were making a joke, no?

@@allie7480 Congratulations, you just discovered what a joke is

@@allie7480 yeah I believe he was saying that from a non musician perspective, such as talent show producers like these, classical music is anything with the listed instruments. Also yes flutes are in orchestras

@@allie7480 no flutes are in full orchestra meaning they can be technically classical

and anything with a sax is jazz

Yes. Portugal got talent. Not public.

Thank you for clearing things up 😊

I love it (the 24TET not the reverb lol)

dadash hagh minavazi🤣

The Persian guy is one of my friends! We went to music school together before he went to college =) Such nostalgia hearing him play again!

im also iranian yep sadly 90% of persian music is bad and not pleasent to listen to the reverb is bullshit its a shame that the best persian violinists play that piece and its not even hard vivaldis winter is harder lmao

I bet that’s annoying! I have a hard time already keeping in time when I write my songs 😆

And how many people are going to watch it?

Many of the major piano and violin competitions are livestreamed these days, like the Cliburn and the Chopin competition and the Menuhin competition. A lot of people watch them. But you don't hear snarky comments from the judges, who are themselves all virtuosos and experts, unlike the judges on these shows, who don't know much about anything except showmanship. That's what these shows are really all about.

Comps like Cliburn or Wieniawski are hard enough without intruding on them the way reality shows do.

In Spain we have had a few of them dedicated to classical music. There is one called prodigios (prodigies), that is more or less successful. I would encourage you to check it out.

There are some, like Prodiges, or Virtuosos. The international final can be found here, on youtube (virtuosos final)

We had the same show in France ("Prodiges") and same, it was more about music than show which is a good thing

That would be great!

Support the algorithm! May 2set see this

@Don't Read My Profile Photo you are bot right?

@@sourabhchoudhary1264 yeah seen this same bot all over TwoSet videos unfortunately

Wow. This is one of the many comments below this video, which shows that AGT and other TV competitions are trash...

they force them to say and do things to fit their narrative

@@valenz1234 Yeah you're right...

Yeah I’m pretty sure their videos landed them a regular gig in Las Vegas doing this stuff.

@@Anacgn_ No suprises there. Anyone who does not realise these shows are completely staged and scripted is already brainwashed by the media

I think we had to watch that for school lol

I’m just wondering, how was it kind of rude to the other contestants??

@@iyanubanks100 the kid received the golden buzzer for his back story, not for his performance.. while other contestants would be judged for their acts.

@@Sgbear_ I see

@@Sgbear_ cancer beats act.. you learn that in advance stone paper scissor classes..

@@sab.p3026 lol it is my first time to see a persian fan of TWOSET :)))))))

@@parsahekmatpanah7033 yeah same!!!

@@sab.p3026 thanks god, btw what is your real name? Do you have any social media that we can contact?

same here man we rarely get any good press😭 its fun to see something positive about iran every so often

It would be nice if TwoSet made reacted to some of the musical performances from the "Prodiges" show, maybe together with clips of similar shows if they exist in other countries. I think it is was a good idea from France 2 to have a dedicated show for classical music (and ballet) because most other talent shows are judged by the lowest common denominator: whatever is popular or "looks cool" to the general public wins. This is a prime time show, so it still has to be entertaining for the audience but it is an opportunity for these kids to show their skills in a positive environment and be rewarded for their years of practice! It is showing to kids of all backgrounds that classical music and ballet can be "cool" and hopefully it inspires and motivates some of them to start learning or, if they already started, to persevere in this endeavor.

"Maestro" (a Dutch tv show) is also a guilty pleasure to react for TwoSet. Some famous Dutch people (many without any musical training) try to conduct a professional symphonic orchestra. They get coached by real conductors etc. Some are a disaster (cringe fest), but the winner is actually decent after weeks of training. So it's both entertainment and a portayal of how practice and determination can actually develop skills. :)

Yeeah we also had show in Hungary, it was great.

We had something similar in Germany called superkids although it also had other acts too

@@musicsperfume Wow the Maestro show sounds really specific yet interesting! Definitely something Twoset should have a look at

Do you mean objective(not biased/fact based) or subjective(biased and opinion based)?

@@Nerdwithtoomanybooks Omg thanks for correcting me! This is the n+1th time that I made this mistake! English is not my first language and I don’t know why I always confused at these two words 😭

I think "classical" refers to the instrument. The logic is probably: if it's not guitar, bass, or drums, it's classical.

Found u :)))

@@autoghg 🥳🥳🥳

I agree :) Portugal em primeiro sempre

My thoughts exactly. The audience is usually never on time and its very distracting, even to me who isn't even musically trained. Like where I expect the beat to land the audience is always slightly ahead or behind or the clap kind of gets... drawn out.

I have never once, as either a performer or an audience member, encountered an audience that can keep time. It's the *worst* thing an audience can do.

@@halinaqi2194 cue Whiplash meme

I can't keep time for the life of me. I always have to look at the person next to me and hope they aren't leading me astray. Church is a nightmare, so much audience clapping.

​@@sonablom That's why I appreciate the singers who clap to the beat when they are at rest. The congregation would then follow their lead. Will there be people who still clap off-beat? Yeah, but at least most of the people are on the same page.

I would love editor san to come in a vid one day

Not that secretly really.

ThreesetViolinn

Yaa

I think it takes PRACTICE!! 😂

Especially when the music is in 4/4 or 3/4 which are very easy to clap on time. If it was an odd or irregular time signature, I'd be more forgiving XD

Hahaha, they did XD

When Eddy said "Imagine...", I already knew what's coming 😂

Yea can we petition for a bloopers vid

9:47

I was wondering about the Persia got talent show? It's not televised from Iran, so Iranian musicians who are still in the country wouldn't be represented. I would be interested in any links to authentic Iranian music that you could post.

I can't put KZfaq video links KZfaq deletes it

If you search these names on KZfaq, you will find good videos. These are the names of Iranian music greats. Mohammad Reza Shajarian, Gholam Hossein Banan and many others, you can also listen to Homayoun Shajarian and Mohsen Namjoo.

@@morteza_b thank you. I will.

7:44 is a bit late, around 7:42

As a brit, no need to apologise we're very sacrilegious when it comes to classical music on "got talent" 😭

I think the audience is just used to concerts where it is normal to clap during the music, such as after a jazz or rock solo.

@@grutarg2938 Agreed! While I understand the frustration the performers may experience, the audience was cheering and clapping because they enjoyed the performance...

Britains Got Talent is the original so it makes sense it's the most sacrilegious

@@SamuriLemonX18 I always thought the US one is the original...now that makes sense

@Don't read profile photo bot?

Same here! 💕

yes.i will be glad

I think so 🙄 like "thanks but no thanks" 🤦🏻‍♀️ so painfull, poor guy

Granted those kids are 7 (?)

lol my french Canadian ass got curious and yup! interesting indeed!!! would be fun to see them react to That.

@@homiiciidalkiitten6650 Yes, I got curious too & checked it out - ah...no.

Second ladder came out and I was done...

@@lizbethstringer3583 lmao I stopped at the first one, you brave!

And then there’s Amira Willighagen on HOLLANDS GOT TALENT.

I definitely agree. I feel like because modern country is viewed (often rightly so) as basic and formulaic people constantly miss good instrumentation in older country and bluegrass altogether.

i been like w e g o t h a c k e d

@@ecioma that’s true lmao

Absolutely!

Is Alex LaMotte (the composer of the Rigadoon from a fan compositions episode a while back) part of this family?

@@Ava-cw3jf I have no idea, never heard of him.

I was really surprised too 😂 It would be cool if they watch Bijan Mortazavi bc he’s a great player!!

But if it’s a trumpet, trombone or saxophone, it’s jazz

the arrangement was still made by him like they said
