Hi Guys, Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments and your continued support. It really means a lot! I wish you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. ❤️ Lots of Love Julian Smith X
Over 10 years have past, and he is still playing, well the best Sax I have ever heard. I just bought his box set and wonder why the entertainment industry doesn't take care of someone with such God given talent and put him on the global stage.
@@zilverheart if you mean the top 1% of today's A-Listers, that is a compliment to him. He far exceeds them as both an entertainer and person. I have had the opportunity to meet this young man since I wrote that comment, and this experience has made me a better person. While other entertainers are out there trying to dabble in politics, Julian is simply out there trying to make the world a better place for everyone around him.
He's above and beyond...truly doesn't need a global stage if he's appreciated as much as he has been. He's in a league of his own in my opinion. He's very successful and appreciated across the world. And a teacher. I think that says so much about this gem of a man...
Julian Smith...oh wonderful...not only for your performance but also for your humble manner and nice choice of repertoire, and your eyes really earnest. Good luck and blessing to your family.
I play the saxophone for almost all my life ever since I was in 5th grade and now I am 37 almost 38 and I am very proud to here that solo and now I am playing that solo to my wife thanks Julian keep up pushing foward and never give up your dream in what ever you may play for!!!!
I could not only listen but watch him perform all day. I love the way his body just absorbs and then projects his feelings n the emotion of the music. He's just magic.
I JUST found this. 8 years later. I sure hope all great things came Julian's way after his stint on BGT !!! It just HAD to have opened so many doors for him. I loved his humility and his talent! Nothing sexier than a sax!
Brilliant song choices. Pop classics from Broadway and West End shows of 60 yrs. ago! Their beauty is hauntingly familiar and he builds upon that,using his whole body, soul, and instrument, projecting it all to the audience. Listening to Julian and his sax is a complete experience.
I would love to attend a concert by this man. The way of playing the saxophone is not only fantastic but also very sensual. I could spend a whole day listening to him.
The world is blessed with such a wonderful person as you bro....May God continue to provide you with the knowledge to improve your talent so that the world will continue to receive emotional and uplifting musics, that brings joy in the heart. Wonderful ta;emt Julian....so wonderful...it really matches your personality...God bless
Each performance gives more insight into this performers skills; there is no difference between the instrument and the performer = beauty at its' ultimate best.
Man it's absoultely beautiful! 2009 BGT was absolutely stacked! Any other year he would have won! 2009 had Diveristy, Susan Boyle, Flawless, Julian Smith, 2 grand, the best line up ever!
As a saxophone player, he is amazing. I wish I could play like him. That would be my dream. Now my goal is to play a soprano solo at some point in my high school career. I love this... And now I have some one to look up to who adores and loves playing saxophone as much as I do!
Amazing talent. I watched him live yesterday in Tamworth, Staffs and he's absolutely brilliant. I must admit i'd never heard of him before but i'll certainly remember him now :)
I have read on here that several people are complaining that his pieces were not difficult enough. I just want everyone to know, I am a sax player myself, and it is not about the difficulty. It is about the style. my college professor told me. "the work on A piece of music is as follows. 10% note work......90% other" Other meaning: Style, breath work, balance, and tone. So I say he was spot on with his song selection!!
I love this guy, he has so much control and very secure playing its almost perfect, being a player myself I respect this guy and playing in front of a huge crowd and national TV like that is amazing, and anyone that talks trash are haters, unless kenny G or Cannonball Adderley lol talks trash I don't wanna hear it from lil jazz club or street players 👌💪
havenhay I don't think Julian Smith ever won Britans Got Talent , but the emotions that flowed over my wife and i and brought back 50+years of memorys together of our favorite song There's a place for us by P.J.Proby, But Julian had the edge
Critics and the person I am talking knows who he is, about come and go. They think they know everything but in real fact know nothing. Sadly we have to put up with bullshit like this. Julian great job. You are a simple humble family man who puts his all into your performance. Loved it...and I wish you well!
Cliff Riley I'm afraid he's not the man you think , I'm Julian's 1st born child to which he hasn't seen in over 10 years , he mainly prioritises he's other two children , it is so sad to see so many comments regarding how he is a "family man" when he has made no effort with me since I was 8 , now 18 Ive been without a father so long it feels normal it just really shows you never truly no a person you just see in the media
Hi Julian, You brought me the cold shivers over my body, man, this is just AMAZING, we wish you and your family all the best for the future !!!! Dearest greetings from Chris and Mayka - The Netherlands - Western Europe.
For the haters, the detractors, and the clueless: Playing a soprano saxophone with the level of control of tone this man has, coupled with impeccable intonation (and if you're even thinking the words "auto-tune", you are deep into the "clueless" category), and his control of phrasing and expression, is indeed extremely rare. Almost anybody can rake their fingers over the keys, playing a million notes per minute, and play with an abrasive sound that makes you wonder if the reed is made of metal
BrassTeacher as a novice Soprano player I can attest to the difficulty, but as a seasoned Alto and Tenor I cannot excuse his choice of music. Being able to play hot cross buns with pretty vibrato is great but it doesn’t constitute extraordinary talent. I’d like to see him play something with more movement to the melody rather than hoping his tone will carry him through. Have him play something like the third movement of the Heiden Sonata or even Flight of the Bumblebee. Playing Intervals at 70 bpm is just lazy
Julian has "IT" in my humble opinion. In this case the "IT" is that way some artists, regardless of medium/instrument, are able to draw out the emotions of the rest of us.
I think he was really relying on that final note a bit too much. He should have performed a different song instead of doing the one he did in the audition
You really under estimate his ability if you believe that. This is one performance, every performance he gives has something special in it. The thing that makes his talent so special is that he gives every performance the same energy and effort as he gave the first performance.
It's a technique called "Vibrato" it gives an extra dimension and feeling to music, if you play a peace of music without vibrato it will sound ok but now if you play with vibrato it will sound brilliant...
Jullian, if you read this: one can only "lose" and "not make it" if one uses the imagination to guess what the future SHOULD be like, & then finding out that the future is not what we thought it should be. The solution is to FAIL to set up a competition in your mind. You are competing only against your own expectations. The future is built on the actions of the present & one can only act well if one is fully present. Study how to be present - keep your mind where your body is at & U will succeed
I never played the sax, but I did play the flute ... I have not touched the flute like ages, and when I once did after a while, I got dizzy ... you can see that I know what you mean :) ... for those people who were complaining that these pieces are not difficult, good luck getting dizzy like me ... and good luck getting every note so clear like julian smith's

@@sjoormen1 appreciate that !!! New album out soon too ) hope you’re well !!
@@JulianSmithSaxOfficial Thanks Everything all right. Take care. Can't wait for the new album. Brilliant.

Well maybe because he isnt top 1%

@@pinkiesvlogs2 he has been giving me weekly saxophone lessons for almost two years. He is a teacher of more than musical skills though.
Julian Smith...oh wonderful...not only for your performance but also for your humble manner and nice choice of repertoire, and your eyes really earnest. Good luck and blessing to your family.
Great talent

Julian Smith is Da Man! Luv Ya Jul, I was on board with you on the Q2 from Southampton UK to NYC this past May, 2024! Dave, NJ
I JUST found this. 8 years later. I sure hope all great things came Julian's way after his stint on BGT !!! It just HAD to have opened so many doors for him. I loved his humility and his talent! Nothing sexier than a sax!
That last sentence. Yup!
I love him, he plays so beautifully it makes me want to cry. aww he's amazing!! ♥

Wonderful ta;emt Julian....so wonderful...it really matches your personality...God bless
Well said, its not the tune its the feeling, the heart and the effort put into music that makes it brilliant. and i can't play a note but I love music
knockout performance, remember it well, back in 2009, so glad he's getting on, totally talented good luck julian
This kind of music heals the mind but uncommon for our days
Absolutely beautiful. He and his music. It's time to buy his CD. Awesome!!
This was my all time favourite on BGT will never be bettered well done Julian
Each performance gives more insight into this performers skills; there is no difference between the instrument and the performer = beauty at its' ultimate best.
Man it's absoultely beautiful! 2009 BGT was absolutely stacked! Any other year he would have won! 2009 had Diveristy, Susan Boyle, Flawless, Julian Smith, 2 grand, the best line up ever!
Its music, and the song is played brilliantly and with such emotion, I truly just get lost within the notes!
As a saxophone player, he is amazing. I wish I could play like him. That would be my dream. Now my goal is to play a soprano solo at some point in my high school career. I love this... And now I have some one to look up to who adores and loves playing saxophone as much as I do!
15 yrs ago, and i am still listing to him, goodluck julian from saudi arabia
Amazing talent. I watched him live yesterday in Tamworth, Staffs and he's absolutely brilliant. I must admit i'd never heard of him before but i'll certainly remember him now :)
Zo ontzettend mooi dit!
This man is amazing with his saxophone. Listening to him brings deep emotions. Your dream is over Julian dfo what your good at and play sweet harmony
Holy Crap!! he is so good, he gives me the chills everytime i hear him, I play the alto saxophone and I hope I can become as good as him one day.
How's it coming, 7 years later? Keep playing!
I admire everything about this unassuming beautifully talented man.
It is incredible what he can play on that sax. I cannot take one one out of a mouth harmonica......super
Genious.
Soprano Sax is incredibly hard and takes a long time to get a grasp on it.
Excellent Julian! Awesome talent!
每次在家喝酒 一边听这首曲子 很感动 老实说 我都听 两百遍有了 真好听
What a beautiful man..and sax player.
exceptional performance of Julian Smith after 10 years !
Wow! This guy can play! And Amanda was really beautiful back in 2009!!
really amazing performance and very humble man

i felt goosebumps ...... really amazing
many of the acts play the song that got them through in their audition for the finals...I don't care what he plays, I love listening to him
it may not be a super difficult song, but he plays skillfully, with emotion, and heart. isn't that what is most important to the top musicians?
Wow! Great music, God bless him for the future....
such a humble and talented person... keep it up man...
Hi Julian,
You brought me the cold shivers over my body, man, this is just AMAZING, we wish you and your family all the best for the future !!!!
Dearest greetings from Chris and Mayka - The Netherlands - Western Europe.
if he gets a album out i would buy it straigh away i think hes brilliant
Obviously not the hardest of pieces but he has immense control of the Soprano which is not easy. Very good playing.
Julian ,my friend you are a real Hero, the world is yours! Love you.

Very true. Anyone that picks fault cannot play the saxophone

Beautiful, best wishes sir, and keep playing
Julian has "IT" in my humble opinion. In this case the "IT" is that way some artists, regardless of medium/instrument, are able to draw out the emotions of the rest of us.
Julian should never think he lost he won
amazing performance by Julian smith, sax player.
to me u r a WINNER JULIAN ! u touched my heart ! GOD BLESS U ! All the Best

Beautiful one, over the rainbow

Great...amazing performance...
3 yers old and i``em stil lookig at it:)) realy good
There's place for us. Beautiful!
Julian is HOT. He is not only physically beautiful, but he has a wonderful soul and incredible talent. I would pay to see him for sure.
What a star. I am crying.
Love this amazing
I love how he almost cry talking about how much he wants to play is music. It really shows through his playing. :D
I think he was really relying on that final note a bit too much. He should have performed a different song instead of doing the one he did in the audition
Maybe. Do what you got to do to win. Right?
no, don't play to win, play to perform. just sayin
he played the same song over and over and over again, didn´t he? this was average
You really under estimate his ability if you believe that. This is one performance, every performance he gives has something special in it. The thing that makes his talent so special is that he gives every performance the same energy and effort as he gave the first performance.
julian is the real winner, a phenomenon
WOW!!! When I Play The Saxophone I DO I DO NOT Sound Like That . Now that IS AMAZING!!!!!
very relaxing music, good job Julian.
ive been playing sax for 43 years
this guy's got talent
He is the one and only
Jillian You’re the best. !!!
May be an extremely easy song, but the vibrato and tone is amazing!!
It's a technique called "Vibrato" it gives an extra dimension and feeling to music, if you play a peace of music without vibrato it will sound ok but now if you play with vibrato it will sound brilliant...

Beautiful
i play the sax...but this is a different league ...you just inspire me julian !!
simply awesome
Sounds like the Trumpet of heaven.
I never played the sax, but I did play the flute ... I have not touched the flute like ages, and when I once did after a while, I got dizzy ... you can see that I know what you mean :) ... for those people who were complaining that these pieces are not difficult, good luck getting dizzy like me ... and good luck getting every note so clear like julian smith's
julian, you make me weep... :')
Lindo, espetacular, Fabuloso!!!
Um verdadeiro artista.
