Damn, that judge was really harsh. Lmao! Like, he played a few notes wrong and he has to give up violin because of it? Jesus crepes!

Child prodigies: am I a joke to you?!

Imagine if that judge saw the 7 year old twins playing the violin so well.... "Old, bald and greasy", huh?
Not even prodigies, just anyone with enough drive to learn the violin and stick to it.

Too be honest, that was very very really really offensive... especially since she didn’t understand a thing about it
i play violin wtf i not fricking bald
what she meant is it's nice to see black guys playing violin, wich is as stupid as what she said, but less politicaly correct.

So offensive -_-
"Ah yes, I totally agree TwoSet. 5 strings on a violin is absolutely sacrilegious!" I say sipping coffee knowing nothing about violin .

I play saxophone, so naturally I have TONS of knowledge about violin (extraordinarily high level of sarcasm)
I second this

In the minds of the judges and audience, an instrument is the same as a person singing. The higher the note is, the more impressed the judges and audience will be.
which is even more comical when you consider that that doesn't even apply to singing -_-
@@neil_surya yep, vocal agility, vibrato, support, lower register, etc. none of those matter, all for the sake of ……✨high notes✨
@@Elamado97
Actually, to sing high notes well, it takes technique as well
It is easy to strain your voice when singing high notes with proper support or technique, that can damage your vocal cords
There are ways to kind of increase your vocal range, for example, vocalizing while yawning
As for whether it’s the hardest thing in singing, I’m not sure
I’m not an expert, I take singing lessons, but I’m focusing on things like relaxing my jaw and using my mixed voice, but personally, I think whether singing high notes is the hardest thing to do depends on the person
Let’s say there are two singers who both have the same vocal range, Singer X and Singer Y. Singer X can easily sustain a high note with good support, but struggles with things like riffs. Singer Y, can sing runs and riffs with ease and use vibrato naturally, but cannot sing high notes, he either strains his voice or is off tune
So in my opinion, I think it depends on the person
(Oh damn I typed a lot)
@@Elamado97 Oh thanks, I’ll try it
@@Elamado97Only if you’re pushing the edge of your range, which varies by person naturally. Being a true soprano is more rare than contralto and alto for women but the rarest is true bass, which I the low end of the spectrum. So high notes sound impressive because everyone knows how hard it is to hit the highly notes at the edge of your rage. The hardest thing to do is develop control and technique.

I went to an America's Got Talent taping once. Before ANY of the acts audition in front of the audience, the production comes out and tells the audience: standing ovation on 1, 2, 3. now, everybody look up and look surprised/scared. Now, act bored. Then they pick some audience members for the close-up shots of people yawning, laughing, etc. (without anybody on stage.) They do the same with judge dramatic reactions. THEN, the auditions begin and you find out why you were looking up scared/surprised... there's an act with a guy doing aerial stuff. I left after the second audition.
How come they can’t just take live reactions
@@annoynmous1 I think mainly because people don’t naturally react dramatically and they need that for tv… if I’m watching a guy hanging from the ceiling I’m probably just going to look up and clap, but not with my mouth wide open while grabbing my cheeks and mouthing “I’m scared…” 😱
And if someone happens to do that naturally, what are the chances of having a camera doing a close-up of you doing it… so yeah, they tell everyone to do it and place several cameras pointed at certain people in the audience who know they are being filmed for a reaction… all those cameras are gone when the acts come out.

Imma be honest with you guys. I wasn't ready for that 'MicHaeL JacKsoN'
Notice how Twoset can already play what they are playing without practice or anything.
They have played for a long time so they know the sound and where on the string it is due to their intonation practice, eddy is perfect pitch but Brett knows sound with position on the instrument ie his intonation practice has helped he says he is bad at intonation he isn’t he’s great from what I’ve seen, I’m a pianist btw and it’s kinda the same on piano we start to recognise chords and inversion sounds and intervals shit like that keys have different colours imo like play a song in c and then in d, to me d sounds more relaxing c sounds happier more bouncy ish
@@tryinganna9883 they follow the ways of ling ling so
@@tryinganna9883 I learned piano when I was a kid and I definitely can't do that. Before I started the piano, I thought all musicians could do that just like you can read a book straight up without practise.

"This is not a competition. This is you *versus* yourself." I can't believe this was said on a *competition* show, and not one of the other judges called him on it. For one, since this is a *competition* show in which he is *competing* with other people to win a prize it most certainly *is* a *competition* Secondly, even if you were to disregard the fact that he was *competing* against other people, the fact that the judge said "This is you *versus* yourself" would have *still* made it a competition. How does something this illogical spring to someones mind? I mean honestly, if I were the judge that said that I would feel awkward and feel the need to correct myself. Maybe it's just me?
Maybe it meant something else in Chinese.
I think that when he said it, the judge may have wanted to say that, in response to him being nervous letting him do the mistakes he made, the only one he should be worried about is himself to not do mistakes and improve, but I agree that saying it's not a competition is dumb
@@Carpatouille I understand the sentiment of his words and I agree with your interpretation of what he meant. Obviously he was simply trying to calm the contestant down and make the situation seem less stressful. But he definitely should have worded it differently than he did. Because how he worded it was, as you said, "dumb" haha.
That's judge is sacarstic. He maybe wrong but the judge couldn't decided what's good for him or not( You should play another instrument or else) i mean wtf, he's not his father. is outrageous. He don't deserve became judge.
He was trying to say that he didnt perform to his potential because he was fighting himself. Not that it wasnt a competition. Also China talent shows place more emphasis on showcasing the talent rather than comparing and competing against contestants who have completely different skillsets. The translation is a bit misconstrued.
You guys are hilarious! I've recently subscribed to your channel as I am going for my first official violin lesson on Friday at the age of 59.. wish me luck!
How's it going? You're never too old to pick up an instrument as they say and these two inspire so many to do likewise. Eddy Chen has his own CZcams channel... last upload some 4yrs ago... where he posted vids about technique etc. I'm a non-musician btw...

Good luck!!!! I hope it is going well

It's interesting how different countries have different views on classical music. In my country, the judges and spectators on mainstream talent show, always appreciate, when someone plays classical instrument and pieces, unless they do something stupid, like stripping our making out new weird instruments...
What country do you live In?
@@Tariq_can_sina based on her name, probably Bulgaria or something like that
Are you Czech?
The one good thing about all of these young people trying to make their violin performance look hip (even if they aren't playing that well, or are missing notes), I think is that it allows young audience members to see that playing violin isn't just about each generation playing the exact same pieces for hundreds of years. At least they can see that there can be different styles, some variety, and it may cause more young people to take up violin.
They just need to sub TwoSet!
I'm a non-musician but have come across dozens and dozens of comments... I've watched a lot of vids... saying that Brett & Eddy have inspired them to take up the violin and others saying they've picked up where they left off... These two are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

So I have a confession to make. I’m 18, up until like a week ago I though playing high notes on the violin was something really impressive that only really good players could do. I guess because it’s hard to sing high my brain decided it makes sense for it to be hard to play too??
Well, high notes are hard to play, because you play them in high positions (when your left hand moves closer to your shoulder) and it can be hard to play in tune there, so you weren't really wrong. However, you can play in high positions, but not really high notes if you play on G string which is low itself, but it's still same level hard with playing in high positions on E string (which makes the highest notes). And it will be much harder than playing in 1st position on E string, even though 1st position on E string makes higher notes than high positions on G string. So, it's actually not about how high the note is, but how high the position is. And many other things, too ;) And also, even though it's hard, it's a skill that every violinist usually has, not only the best of them, but good violinists make it sound much better and seem easy.
It’s because you have never learnt an instrument, and therefore you are comparatively clueless about this stuff.
Playing high notes are more difficult than lower notes, because of the hand position (left hand).
However, they were pointing out the tremolo (= tremble) effect, which is made by the bow hand (right hand). The tremolo effect itself is easy to do.

@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse the judge. I believe this video is from a long time ago. This judge also made some very offensive comments in other shows. He does have a terrible reputation....
"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." - Beethoven
A little quote us pianists use to feel better about being shit, haha!
People in these clips often react to high notes as if the performer wasn't playing an instrument specifically designed to make that sound with absolutely no extra effort, but as if they were singing the note and managed to go way beyond the regular range. Which is kind of hilarious. Imagine them reacting like that to someone hitting the highest key on a piano.
I need that video.
That's hilariously accurate
I was JUST thinking that and am going to make a video like that at some point 😂 I was baffled and started laughing when that happened. It’s not like floor Jensen hitting the high note in ghost love score. You’re just going up :d
High, fast, and loud. That's what non-musicians are usually impressed by.

Sadly the playing fast impresses them even though I can just as easily do tremolo like that on Clarinet. Judges who don't know the instrument will completely factor out anything that is hard to play and takes skill and will just look for things like playing fast. Sad thing is if a Brass player went up there and triple tongued like crazy they wouldn't care ;(

Tremolo is definitely a cheap trick that pop stars seem to love to lean on. If only audiences knew how hard it can be to make a long bow stroke sound beautiful on a violin… I once shared a bill with a few different bands at a club in Nashville, almost all of them with a violinist or fiddler. Sure enough, it was the guy who played tremolo up and down the fingerboard who got the crowd going. C’est la vie.

At first, I didn’t worry about it because I thought it made my point well enough, but I eventually realized it made it sound like I was saying something completely different my from the picture I was wanting to paint. I would just edit the comment to say what I originally wanted it to say but so much the subsequent commentary is based on the original wording specifically. If I could go back and amend my remarks to be closer to what I intended, they would say....
... Excellence rarely even gets a seat at the table because Mediocrity and Good Enough always get there first.
Like "you don't have to be great. you just have to *look* great" kind of thing
myracle17 ...that’s part of it for sure, but “looking great” isn’t even a requirement though. All you need is the right person to declare your greatness for you.
It's called marketing
@@justinnamuco9096 or just showmanship.
pertinent!!
Me: plays the cadenza to Beethoven violin concerto
Friend: "Wow, your almost as good a Lindsey Stirling!"
Me: dies inside

So true when a competition sucks everyone is like u guys did great even though everything was out of tune the no rosin on the bows, the bows did not go the same direction and the violin was to low
Me. Bish leave
Threw up a little, thanks
You should have dance more, then you will be better than LS.
I felt that lmao
ouch
Fun thing is, at 5:30 the background music is the theme of a popular old British TV serie, "keeping up appearances", that deals about an old woman which happens to be a clumsy social climber 😂 if I were the girl Id be slightly offended 😂
"so what's your favourite Bach piece?"
"it's complicated"
So true in both ways
MICHAEL JACKSON
Michael Bachson*
"the intro to michael jackson's song maybe"
Some BachRock music
Is no one going to talk about how some of the judges are actual "singers", so they should be able to tell whether their playing is out of tune or not.
Autotune singing should not qualify as a musical skill, that’s just it
Рауль Каримов sis, i--
You're father will be hearing about this
Well, pop stars don't really understand musical theory, or classical music, most of them dont even know how to read a sheet note
Dralon salty
love it! you guys have good sense of humor & you are pretty kind too - nice to hear real musicians' honest critique
I really can't take the "... bald, old and greasy."
It's just - 😭
At this point it isn't TwoSetViolin anymore... It's TooUpsetViolin
Love you guys 🤙
Where's the heart button on YT?
genius
PepeScoots
Damn perfect 🌸
I am very conflicted, because today, you didn't play well.
-Ling Ling's mother every practice
Ling Ling nevers fail to play well, so his mother will never feel conflicted
exactly, because Ling Ling can never be the best because his mom is two set's tiger mom. P R A C T I C E!
LING LING HAS NO MOTHER
You are so right
Ling ling is stuck in a grandfather paradox time loop with himself as his own grandfather (so his genetics can remain 100% Ling ling)
even me, an unprofessional pianist groaned at the point that they both threw their bows. My colleague, a viola player just totally collapsed in pain lol
I suddenly feel that I need to find out what sacrilegious means.
I searched it up. It means -
grossly irreverent toward what is held to be sacred
For those of you who don't know (guitar players like me) a violin bow isn't like a guitar pick. Professionals spend thousands of dollars on a good bow, so throwing one down at the end of a performance isn't a good idea unless it's a $100 bow for a national TV performance.
Jew and Greek unless it's a 10$ plastic bow
It's like being Jimi Hendrix and destroying a guitar on stage. But you aren't Jimi and can't afford a repairman to fix your violin for you
And I get so pissed off when I lose my picks XD
I'm guessing the bows were carbon fiber. What's weird to me is that they are giving off a decidedly urban vibe, but they play like they just fell off a turnip truck from Appalachia.
@@Holozara You just reminded me to buy some new picks cause a lot of mine
That guy didn’t just spill the tea, he smashed the damn mug
lol
He was right on though lmao, he didn't hold back at all.
Justin yeah but most of China know him as an elitist cunt who does comedy like Shakespeare: poor people are so poor they are hilarious
That last one killed this singer’s heart. Honey, O Fortuna is a chorus piece! You are one singer, and you couldn’t even come in on the right note!
Do more of these it’s absolutely hilarious 🤣
petition to stop the abuse of musical instrument-like if you wanna join
(such as throwing of bows, knocking over of piano stools, etc)
Smashing the guitars to the floor after playing, kicking drums, poor musical instruments :"""D
@@Noblesse_Sapphire yep :"(
@@fartingkitty0712ikr~ i just don't get it, why did they decide to sacrifice all those instruments just to create an 'interesting' atmosphere or some kind of trademark of a particular singer O.o
I mean all of those instruments were made with love and precision and human intelligence~ :"D
Yeeting music stands/sheet music everywhere does that count
usines flutes as walking sticks
this was a trend in my band
i might cry
A violinist on an American talent show:
Sounds terrible
Judges: *Amazing*
A violinist on a Chinese talent show:
Sounds decent
Judges: "You played 2 or 3 notes wrong, you won't be going to the next round."
Because we're asians BOI. Standards are different.
us asians really want that lingling talent
I cant tell which I hate more. At least the American shows clearly differentiate between the pop and classical world (for better or for worse). The fact that the Chinese try to do some abomination of a blend of pop with classical, and then judge the playing based on classical standards, is so ridiculous amd makes no sense, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CLASSICAL MUSIC COMPETITION.
@@Checkmate1138 I agree ☝
in China people likes to watch people fail, it makes them feels like "yah, they are not that talent tho, me neither"
J'adore how respectful you are guys when commenting other people's performance or behaviour 👍 The world (and the internet 😉) needs more like you two 😍
i watched this like millions of times and i still laughwhen he screams MICHEAL JACKSON😂😂😂
You don’t even need to be a *classical* musician to understand Brett and Eddys pain
You don't even need to be a MUSICIAN to understand their pain. I never watch this show because it's so horrible.
@@GreenWitch234 your reply should deserve more likes than the comment itself
@@ipsharoy7398 thank you 🤭
yea
Hắc Bạch tbh
I feel so sorry for the chinese guy in the final, he tried so hard and actually played pretty well..... and literally received zero praise, smh🤦🏽♀️
BUT HE DIDN'T DANCE OR SMASH HIS BOW HE SUCKED
My name is not important I bet other people will get wooshed
I mean, he didn't play that well. Especially the second piece
The male judge is a host who is famous for bad, cringey, and disrespectful hosting. So I'm not surprised by his reaction.
Checkmate1138 lol let me rephrase, he actually played somewhat difficult music compared to all the other fake violinists and was at least decent😂 still no one cared tho
i was too depressed today and i was hoping i wouldn't smile or laugh today but you guys made me do both .
I started playing violin a month ago, and every time I watch one o of these roasting videos, I feel like I’ve been playing for 87 years.
5:11 "Incorporate your sexually while playing"
Me: *Starts playing as gay*
Josh Hemingway * starts playing flute in confusion *
*Bisexual cello bowing continues**
Was he talking about sexualizing their performance or did I miss something???
I better throw some chains on my piano. Make sure it knows its place in the bedroom.
@@manictiger such a cursed comment lmao
@@poop8834
Shame is for the weak.
"Most violinists are bald, and old, and greasy." Ah yes, this explains my recent interest in violin since I started losing my hair.
This gives me ideas to make Saitama as a violinist
hey im old and bald maybe people think i actually have talent lol
"How old are you" 😜
aint too young to worry and I ain't too old to cry
I see your name and I am confused on your age.
I’m going to be playing violin in a few years from now when I get a job all because of this channel. Brett and eddy, I love you’re videos!
The reason I love twoset is not only cuz of Brett and Eddy but also all the twosetters . Like y’all so creative and hilarious and amazing man !
how to win america's got talent
1. instead of a violin use an electric 5 string mutation
2. play fast
3. play lots of high notes
4. add tremelo
5. Flight of the Bumblebee
6. Have cancer
@@lechienjade7946 7. Have a missing finger or toe.
8. Wear tight leather type outfits, revealing more than necessary for playing the violin and sway your hips provocatively.
9. Add an inspirational story in your introduction
