I'm glad I get to hear both a classical musician's (TwoSet Violin) and a modern musician's views on this!
Same!
That's where I saw this video!! I was like I swear he already did this... But it was TwoSet who did this video too, oh my. XD
Yeahhh totally 🤣 ! I was gonna say the same !!
Legit just commented this
Same ikr
As a pianist, I don’t get how Sedo was 1 and Summer was 5. I get Sedo chose a harder piece, but I feel Summer had better musicality and technique, and was more confident. Sedo also had flat fingers. I think people just chose him because he played a popular classical piece that everyone thinks is like the hardest piece out there.
Hey! Summer here. Just posted a response video on my channel that both shows what the IG audience saw and explains my thoughts on it all in case you’re curious :) Thanks for the love. FYI the piece I performed was an original composition (“JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh - it’s on iTunes / Spotify etc.)
Yep
Yeah he didn’t even play it very well, it was a bit messy.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. You are spot on.
@@PianoBeaShar not to mention technique
The blue haired guy had the audacity to rank himself in the 2nd place. Wow.
yeah he was, okay…
It was so wild that i thought the order was from 1-6 and not 6-1.
I cringed so freakin hard when he did that😣
Talent is subject in music and he was a pretty good sport about it
In my opinion, he has potential, but the first thing that has to go is that ego.
As a working musician, I could never subject myself to this.
I would definitely put myself 6
This incredibly cringe as a working musician 😂
Same
Piano girl (Summer) here! Working musician as well (composer, studio + touring pianist / keyboardist). The piece you heard me play was an original classical crossover composition of mine (“JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh… not v accessible, but if you want to hear it in full, it’s on Spotify / iTunes etc.). I participated because I wanted to see if TwoSet would react to it (and they did, so it was worth it imho), get some feedback on my original work, maybe catch the eye of some music directors, and also bc I’m a masochist apparently, lmfao.
@@SummerSweeSingh were there any big egos on set?
I was watching Twoset react to this video, and it's very interesting to compare and contrast the opinions of two groups of talented musicians from two different genres. Thank you for the nuanced and entertaining video Roomie!
Same!
It was interesting how you were talking about how its better to be really good at one instrument rather than many, it made me think of that Bruce Lee quote "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
I too had the same quote running on my mind.
But that multi-instrumentalist wasn't even good on any of the instruments he showed.
@@kristin123a that's the point
Shoot I made a comments bout this
To lazy to delete it
This is definitely the stress reliever I've been needing so bad. Regular uploads of Joel's videos.
Same dude
Lol yes same tho
The best!
Same!
I think someone who is a master at one instrument is probably more talented than someone who's average at many. I always try to explain to people the skill level required to go from being good at something to being truly great at it is immense. You could learn 15 instruments in the time it takes you to be truly great at one.
his cello playing maneeeeee
2 really isn't that many instruments to play though. You can master 2 instruments in about one or two years longer it would take you to master 1
@@bluejay9638 Master? LOL
You need about 20 years to even get in the master category for instruments, there’s a reason why professionals have one « good » instruments and others for fun
Joel's "awkward" face is reflecting how I feel about this video.
i had to fast forward some parts, because the levels of awkward were too much for me lol. Like... when the musicians are ranking themselves i'm over here like pulling my hoodie over my face.
I would have picked the piano girl 100%. There’s something about Classical music played well that can yank my emotions around more than anything else. I think it’s fascinating how music with no words can express such a range of feelings.
Also, I am always loathe to complain about anything, but Joel, pretty please can you fix the camera bounce? I don’t know why I noticed it so much today, but it almost made me a little seasick. That said, I would still watch, even queasy. 😅 Luff you. xx
Don't say God's name in vain it's a sin against God it says in Exodus 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." Please don't make evil normalized please! GOD IS COMING REPENT! BEFORE IT'S LATE!!!! Be baptized with Holy Spirit and water. Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."
God isn't an monster God loves you and so do I. Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent of all your sins, even the ones you've committed in the past.
Piano girl (Summer) here :) Thanks for the love. I composed the piece I performed :) if you want to hear it in full/save it, it’s called “JFN” (by Summer Swee-Singh) … flattered you were moved by it!
@@angelemeana3741 For God's sake, please shut up.
Im exited that Joel is uploading more, but its best that he's happy!
“Exited”
That's "excited".
@@fahimhasan22 no one asked
I agree! :)
Agreed. He needs to find a happy medium so he doesn't do another video where he talks about how he needs another break. He could do a mixture of the big videos and the ones we are used to and he doesn't have to post every day. He could post 2-3 videos a week instead of everyday if it would help him not get burned out or get bored. I just don't want another video where he needs to take a break.
the piano dude knows summer is way better than him technically. surprised that she got 5th
The guy who played piano messed up a lot but he was trying to play “fantasie impromptu” by chopin which was by far the hardest pice/song anyone tried there, it felt like he was nervous and had just started to learn the piece
Yeah, but his finger placement was all wrong. He might be able to teach himself fairly difficult pieces, but his technique is all off. Just look at those fingers.
@@kristin123a im a guitarist but my cousin is a pianist and he told me he is probably a 2/3 year piano player who chose a pice way above his current skills
@@kristin123a Yeah, I agree. Plus that piece, as a pianist myself, isn't the hardest piece. I would say it's challenging, but a bit overrated. Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsodies and Chopin's harder Etudes are quite impressive if played well. It's very similar to that one violinist Twoset reviewed. Like it's not about playing fast, but how sharp and clear the notes are. Are there dynamics? Did you practice? But he didn't even get the notes correct. I mean anyone could run with the pedal on the piano and just kind of like whiz La Campanella for example, but it's when the notes are played clearly and with proper emotion and with all of these things sped up, but not removed which defines the skill at which the piece was played.
6. Blue hair guy: he has potential but still has a long way to go
5. Multi-instrament guy: he was good but he wasn't good enough
4. Piano guy: he was really good but if I really think about it he's just 4th.
3. Drums: if he wasn't by himself would be 1
2. Singer: great, but not good enough to top the list
1. Piano girl: very very very good. Could listen to her for a while
I'd say the blue hair guy was above the multi-instrumentalist. If he actually did learn piano a week ago, he did pretty well, but that guy boasting about all the instruments didn't play any of them particularly good. If he's actually spent time trying to learn and claims he's good from what he showed here he's almost deluded.
@@kristin123a maybe. What it came down to was who did good enough that I would want to listen to them for a longer period of time
Nah, multi-instrumentalist dude wasn’t great at the cello or the slide, but he fucking nailed one of the hardest acoustic guitar songs out there. He deserves a little more credit.
That blue haired guy really ranked himself second place...
My social anxiety could NEVER
I'd rank myself 7 out of 6 regardless of how well I did
@@marymohr2799 that's ur opinion and I respect that.
Totally agree with the idea of ranking talents being strange, ‘cause it’s very hard not to be subjective
As a pro studio piano player, I have to say that imo that guy butchered Fantaisie Impromptu and played the La La theme pretty robotically, unlike the original recording which has a great sense of phrasing. I think people just connect to the La La Land song emotionally. If someone would have played The River Flows in You they would have all ranked them #1.
Maybe you're right... But everybody was free to choose to play whatever, and convey emotions to the audience while trying to display their talent... And even with a butchered piece (which I obviously couldn't notice even though I've heard it many times before), I did feel his emotions more than the others' emotions 🤷🏾♀️. I guess it's easier when you're not a professional...
Joel said that 1 and 2 were more accessible to an average audience and I agree. I'm average. I thought they were the more enjoyable to listen to, and if I could only replay one, it would be the Fantaisie Impromptue. (:
Hi! Summer (purple shirt piano girl here; I’m also a pro pianist and composer - the song you heard clips of me playing was an original composition). Would be curious to hear your thoughts on my response video (re: Fantasie Impromptu etc.)
Sorry Roomie but as a pianist i have to strongly disagree that the guy played good piano - he played a relativly hard piece very badly. The girl was obviously much better at piano. Not even close.
It's what I noticed and I'm not a pianisti...
Yes, exactly! I can’t believe they ranked her so low.
Aw, thanks for the kind words. The piece I played was an original composition “JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh (on Apple Music, Spotify, CZcams, etc. if you want to hear the full piece). That said, I’m a very small time composer + pianist, so there definitely was no recognizability or “accessibility” factor with my music as there was with Sèdo’s performance. Funny thing, I debated playing Fantasie lmpromptu (or Liszt’s Lieberstraume No. 3) as I still have parts of both pieces memorized from my classical pinnacle over a decade ago (I’m now a studio/touring musician and rarely play classical anymore), but then Sèdo went before me and played the Chopin selection, so I decided on the fly to play one of my originals instead :)
As a beginner pianist I couldn't agree more
@@SummerSweeSingh he doesn't have a good technique (as you do) he is propably self taught you can tell by looking his fingers (were too flat), playing Chopin with bad technique is really sad actually.
This plays right in to what we as musicians SHOULD NEVER DO! We should never compare ourselves!
Pick things you like about another artist, and incorporate it into what you do, notice the mistakes of other musicians, and use that information to improve yourself, but never rank yourself to others! It'll ruin your brain!
You have a closing tag, but no opening tag....
This really supports that knowledge curve of how beginners think they know a lot very early on and experienced people learn that they know nothing, then experts gain the knowledge they thought they had earlier on. That dude in the blue hair would have been in the beginner phase.
Drummers are really very underappreciated!
Agreed.
Editor Martin really knocking it out of the park with the edits of Joel's head on things!
Purple hair girl deserved to be top 3 AT LEAST
Shoutout to Martin for always being there to edit Joel's head onto some of the strangest pictures.
The return of the crow. My life is complete.
Roomie’s head on a duck is the quality content I came here for.
“Don’t worry, duck Joel isn’t real, he can’t harm you”
Duck Joel: 6:31
7:31
As a drummer, there is a difference between playing loud and fast and having talent. Don’t get me wrong, fast and loud is very cool and when done right is very impressive but just something to consider
I wish I hadn't heard them describe talent before their performance because the guy who was all about multiple instruments just rubbed me the wrong way and that effected me being able to focus on what people were doing rather than how I already felt about them.
i agree with ur opinion on multiple instruments guy. seems like a very narrow minded opinion of talent, more doesnt equal better.
Watching Joel cringe and explain why is the best part of this video. And be kind at the same time.
love seeing twosetviolin and Joel covering the same video and seeing how they agree and disagree
Blue Haired guy starts to sing
*Joel: It's a lil bit pitchy
Me: Classic
*Joel: Buy the merch here
Me: You still sell that 😂
Been wanting to run up to Roomie and give him a hug. Like one of those long embraces, maybe a tear or two, and don't let go for a while. Ah, I've missed you so much. Thanks for making videos again. We love you so much. And I love your commentary and I learn so much from you. :)
I think that one “multi instrumentalist” guy is wrong, because most people we consider talented and successful are known for slaying ONE instrument in particular. Think Travis barker, slash, yo yo ma, Mozart etc. I’m sure they can play multiple instruments but they are known for one specifically.
Very often being the most talented isn’t what brings success. Imho It’s the determination and refusal to quit even when it seems it’s not worth to keep going.
Summer was by far the best pianist, would've ranked her #1 followed by Mary at #2
Aw, thanks for the love :)
@@SummerSweeSingh hi
I originally saw this video reviewed by TwoSet Violin and when I heard the first guy singing I blurted out "it's a lil bit pitchy". NGL when I saw Joel was doing this video too, I got a little excited to hear it come directly from the source. 🤣 🤓
I really love the vibes of your videos,it's like we musicians have a musicians community through here,really appreciate your work
Yo Roomie! The girl singing "My Mind" was actually singing that as a cover of a song of that name by Yebba. Seriously check out the original if you haven't - it's one of the most powerful vocal performances I've ever heard.
The part where he sang swedish got me.
10:46 Yes, right now I'm in middle school band, I want to become a drummer, and the fact that if you're on a drum set, you have to be extra coordinated because you have your 2 drumsticks, and then you have the hi-hat which you can control with your foot, and of course the bass drum. Being a drummer is not easy for sure.
True, drummer to drummer. I have been playing for nearly eight years and I have really bad coordination so I have to practice beats slower then their actual speed and ofbeat snares kill me haha
I'd give the girl on the end the #1 because it gave me goosebumps and made me tear up. So totally the most emotional response from me.
This is so sweet, thank you! The piece I (Summer / purple shirt piano girl) performed was an original composition - you can hear the full piece on my channel or Spotify / iTunes etc. - “JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh :)
It was cool to hear him say that he sees someone as more talented when they do one thing really well instead of multiple things. I’ve played piano for 12+ years but I’ve always wanted to play other instruments and always thought what I did was super boring. But my reason for wanting to play other instruments is more of wanting to understand how those instruments work together in a band setting and see how I can make my piano blend in better with them.
Piano is one of the coolest instruments cmon now
I feel like it comes to how good you can improvise or use whatever you have to make good music that makes you talented. I can sing and play piano, drums, guitars, and bass but I still get super amazed at some people that only showcase one of those and own the song they play.
I am so happy you are uploading so regularly... Your videos make my day happier Joel
I don't think blue haired guy was last. Piano girl was clearly on another level and singer and drummer right behind.
I just saw the twoset violin video they just posted about this haha
I'm so happy to have more videos by Joel! Thank you so much for your amazing videos! Also, I need your hat lol.
Glad you're back at daily videos thanks for making my day better 😊💗
Correction - not daily, but close (3-4 vids/week)
@@MagdaLenaS2312 close enough for me 😊
Joels face right when blue hair guy started speaking, not even before he started playing sends 💀
Ohhh!! A new video from Joel is always a nice way to end my day :D
11:41 I love the lil leg swing :)
As an artist and european i agree with you about not being able to think of myself as talented or being better than others as it's seen negatively in my country. I'm from Czech Republic and similarily to 'the law of Jante' in my country we say 'self-praise stinks'. It means the same as the law of Jante. I could never be in a video like that, or if i was i would put myself as the worst for sure. Great video Joel, i somehow always agree with pretty much everything you say.
i’m so glad he’s back to more videos
I like learning so much about Swedish culture from you, Joel. And music. 🙂
Roomie, sweet video bro, keep up the good work 👏
Thank you Joel for your videos. You inspired me to start singing and playing guitar/piano again after 10+ years away from it. You're good peeps! Sending good vibes from NorCal!
Wait so blue haired guy said this was his first week of playing, and ranked himself 1/2?😂😂😂🥺
I think music is so amazing in that it can touch so many different people in different ways, through different musicians and styles. Variety is what makes the world go round.
Roomie’s humor is just so funny
Right?
Poor girl, everyone keeps counting her out when she has the best singing out of the other two. I’d give everyone a 5/5 because everyone is equally talented in what they could do.
it cracked me up when the blue-haired guy just played piano for a week then ranked the classical players least
The speech on the end was very satisfying and inspiring for me as a beginner musician, thanks Roomie!
I love how thoughtful and insightful you are with your commentary.
This eclectic choices in posts are so friggin awesome past me the apple juice cheers
Love the content keep it up
I think what being talented truly means is the ability to know which technique / knowledge to use on the fly to invoke whatever feeling you want from your audience. Like a chef, you can imagine how your food will taste like just by looking through your pantry
Example: I wanna make my audience feel excited, I should add this discard that change tempo change genre change runs change rifts change composition and so on
I just wanna say I love this and you you are one of the only CZcams people who make me enjoy CZcams
Love your videos. Super happy to watch you more often! No pressure though, I will always come back to watch your videos! Unless I die
Thanks again for uploading more videos. 👍
I am so happy u Updated joel.. Bc u help me when I am lonely
This was a fascinating social experiment
Bro I love your vids ❤️
I used to be in a band and we used to rank each other every month on ability this made us all motivated to improve as we are all competitive people and beating each other was so important to us as long as you respect each other this activity can really improve your ability
Love the vids soooooo much
I just saw TwoSet do a reaction to this, I like seeing your take on this to!
Why am I so happy that he’s doing the intro again? 😂😂 I’m such a weirdo, lol I guess it’s just comforting ❤️
Hey rommie i have watched your vids for years, just wanted to let you know! :)
A good video to comment on + Joel's experience as a musician + Joel's personality = eactly the kind of relatively low effort video the channel still needs a few times a week.
Yess love ur vid u def a legend
The day is a great one when roomie posts :]
I love your videos 💜
As a singer who also plays many instruments, I have to point out my own reason for playing multiple instruments: to be able to make a whole song by yourself, without being dependent on other people. I mean it's pretty frustrating if you have something in your head, but you can only sing. If you don't have any musician friends, what do you do? socialize? pfff! :D . Also, singing on stage is -for me- very vulnerable, you can't really hide behind your mic... and if you dance like a fridge... it's pretty handy to know the guitar, or any instrument, and be able to hide behind it when you (don't) sing (much easier than grow your self confidence ^^" )
I love your videos!
Maybe controversial opinion, but art (of any kind) is highly subjective. YES, there is technical skill involved. HOWEVER, in terms of intent and connection; I think it is important to let the consumer just have their own perception (first at least). Regardless of the artists intent, everyone has their own life experiences that feed into it equally, if not more.
Good morning and it will be good since I get to start my day watching Roomie
A great way to start the day 😊

Yeaii watching roomie after twoset 😍 looking forward to more collaboration between the two channel❤️
So Nice👌 finnaly new stuff
"Piano is always really nice"
Yeah except when I'm playing it
I love that he's happy making videos again
It’s a good day when Roomie uploads :)
This was intriguing
I think a truly talented musician is someone who can play something extremely fast and complicated but thats just as enjoyable to the average person as a good simple song. Victor Wooten comes to mind. If you can wright something daftly simple that people like, that's half of what makes a great musician, if you can play something ridiculously complex that only really satisfies the ears of music nerds, that's the other half, if you can do both simultaneously then you are a master.
I saw Twoset do this I’m glad you are too!!
He never ceases to amaze me with his creativity in his content and his dedication to make us happy.
I like roomie too but I don't know about creativity. He's just reacting to someone else's video
@@shimmipenguin1764 I didn't just write this comment based on this video. I just wanted to share my feelings and respect.
