See What Happens If You Play Queen Bohemian Rhapsody & Don't Stop Me Now in China Hotel | Cole Lam
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 29. 12. 2019
- This was so cool! We went to China in the Summer and stayed in a big hotel. Downstairs in the reception lobby area there was a grand piano. It was always covered up, but one day there was a party or some kind of celebration - and the piano was open! I jumped on and the manager/reception started to come over to get me off - but when I quickly started playing something they let me keep playing. I think they were worried that someone would start bashing away.
So after playing a little bit of classical - I decided to pull out Queen in China! Bohemian Rhapsody and Don't Stop Me Now. The Bohemian Rhapsody movie came out in China in March and it was censored, which is sad, but also good that it was showed at all!
I had a lot of compliments (my mum had to translate!) because there are many young pianists in China, but many are classical and many don't show as much "passion" in their playing. Usually they also play in arranged concerts or school performances, and it is very unusual to have any children play in "public" randomly, so there was a lot of interest from the guests in the hotel.

It is not often you find a grand piano out in the public available for playing. We stayed in this hotel, and the piano was always covered up and locked (I checked!). But it was open and on show because I think there was a party. I jumped on and started playing something before I was kicked off. The reception started to come over to take me off, but when I played "properly" classical, they were fine. I then played Queen! Crowd and public all around the world are the same - Bohemian Rhapsody will always get some attention! I had a lot of compliments (my mum had to translate!) because there are many young pianists in China, but many are classical and many don't show as much "passion" in their playing. Usually they also play in arranged concerts or school performances, and it is very unusual to have any children play in "public" randomly, so there was a lot of interest from the guests in the hotel. Also my Arsenal top got to come out again!
Great playing as always.
up the gunners
An amazing artist blends in plain sight đ€đ€đ€
No, born in UK. My parents are from China and Hong Kong
COYG!
He played in front of Asian parents! I can only imagine what their children will go through after they get home.
Their childs already can play it since they are 2 years old
All the dads making a video so they can go home and demand their kids get this good. :D
I know the feeling, our daughter is 9, half Chinese, plays the piano since she's 4, three years ago she also started saxophone.
To be fair, it was an OK performance, but nothing really to shout about. I won't even say the emotion is well expressed.
@@ycgoh9215 OK Mozart!
So it really doesnât matter where in the world he goes. A small crowd of people always forms around him! Music is the universal language that connects all of humanity. â€ïžđčđŒđ¶ đ”
Music is a great gift đ¶đ”đ đž
Yes.
Music is from the heart and the soul. The musician interprets.. through his/her heart and soul.
next is north korea
Music bring people together. That how powerful music is
I noticed there were 103 dislikes???? Even if you don't like Queen or the piano, how can you not like or appreciate the talent of this young man. Cole... You rock. Humans!
Probably members of the chinese government.
Or because the piano was so badly out of tune
I was hoping the audience was going to do a Wayne's World headbang.
@@wheresthegovernance4350 because I sure did đ€
Or they didn't like the name of the video when literally nothing happens.
Asian parents after his performance: *you have to be as good as him. Play 40 hours a day*
Ling ling insurance!
Sadly, this is 90% true... lol
A day only have 24 hours?!?!?!?! WTF
noname my friend, u are not cultured
@@Abcdefg25152 well son, build a time machine!
Why is it that even though he's playing the same song I've seen in other videos I still click and watch? He's that awesome! It LITERALLY never gets old! So cool!âș
ALSO... How cool is it that Cole sees a piano and just jumps on and starts wailing away?!?
Cole, as a retiree who has always loved the music of Queen, no matter that the piano maybe wasn't tuned, or where you were playing, that was a fantastic rendition of Queen's music.
Thank you
This young man got balls man i tell ya.... I know how to do bumblebee but im to shy af....... Give this youngman a big applause...
Go for it next time you see a piano. It is a buzz! Haha see what I did?
Heâs got balls or no brain, theyâre both one and the same đ
It takes a lot of courage, confidence, and overwhelming passion to perform.
Omg same! Im like really good but i cant play infront of ANYONE im so shy
It's a pity, that the piano wasn't tuned.
its called a e s t h e t i c
honestly the detune sounds nice but either the acoustics or maybe the piano itself make it sound kind of thin.
Par for the course re hotel lobby pianos. (Keith Emerson intentionally detuned the piano he played on a few of his pieces.)
He played the wrong notes or an absolutely miserable version of the Bohemian Rhapsody
LOL Jealous much?
@@ShadowShiranui No. The piano needs to be tuned.
You are amazing Cole. I can't believe you can play all that from just memory without any sheet music in front of you.
I arrange these myself, after listening to them on Spotify and watching CZcams videos of their live performances so these are my cover versions of the songs. I am a Signature Artist with Musicnotes and my sheet music is on MusicNotes: bit.ly/CL_SheetMusic.
Thank you for the music. Your choice of songs is inspiring and being played by the younger generation, passing on the message of Freddie mercury And Elton John. What Freddie mercuryâs words meant donât stop me now are symbolic to you and your performances. You take them to public forums and play your heart out. Freddie Mercury would be proud that he has passed on the torch to you so you can play your heart out with confidence and passion. Donât stop me now is not just a song but a message for you to continue to work hard forge your own path. Keep up the good work, keep performing bravely in public and by all means donât stop. You have a bright future. I cannot wait to hear when you come out with original songs that are inspired by such great classics that you have chosen. All the best.
Thank you - have you heard some of my own compositions - some are contemporary classical like this one czcams.com/video/nWvM60kFji0/video.html , but I have written a few songs, that I have not videoed yet.
Yours are very beautiful words of praise... all the best to you also!
Great arrangements. I was lucky enough to see Queen live a few years ago, when they played in China. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
"a few years ago"
@@maxflute7893 2016 to be more precise.
? ? ? Adam Lambert in China??
@@cliffbraun3850 Yes, September 2016, Queen with Adam Lambert.
Never heard such a paucity of response compared to the quality of performance.Brilliant-I feel Freddie would have approved.
And note heâs playing all that without any sheet music ,,, heâs amazing đđđđđđđđđ
Very wise of you to have demonstrated your skills and talent as a true pianist to the staff allowing you to continue playing. Talented and smart. A great combination that will take you far. Looking forward to Cole 13.đ
Just over a month to go!
@@ColeLam Oh no! Cole the teenager? :-)
@@PNEKarl not yet!
@@ColeLam I'm sure you'll make a teenager your parents will be proud of. You're an inspiration to all teenagers out there. Keep 'em coming Cole and thanks for sharing your efforts. Roll on February :-)
@@ColeLam hello your very talented sir but can you play my moonlight sonata 3rd movement or hammer klavier.
Was about to comment on the last video for another Bohemian Rhapsody before 2020, and here we are.. Legendary Cole Lam!
k den What the heck are you doing here? Lol
A very impressive performance of Queen songs in China. Even more so, seeing a young boy walk up twice on his own for a closer view - Epic! đđč
You play so gracefully Freddie would be so proud well done. đđđđ
Bravo, Bravo young man! Not only balls of steel but an amazing, spot-on rendition of Queens iconic music!
How refreshing for the audience. Im sure if your mum taught you the language you would master it well just like your piano playing. Well done đ
lol, this song is not really something new to Chinese actually.
your performances always make me cry. U put so much emotion into your music. Keep up the great work. The future is bright for you young one.
I love that you know how to play Queen and are sharing it with the world! I cried when Freddie Mercury died. You are helping to spread his legacy and itâs so wonderful to see!! đ
As always, you exude the finesse and impeccability with your fingers on keys. Excellent, Cole!!!
Just love the time you spend playing very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Where Are there public pianos in Newcastle
@@ColeLam central station used to have one, dunno if its still there
@@ColeLam will try find out let you know.
I never tire of hearing you play all the legendary "Queen songs. You Rock these songs!
I hope you get to travel the world and always show us your videos like this one of your playing the piano. I enjoy watching your videos.
You're an inspiration for all ages to play the piano or any musical instrument.
The story behind your being able to play the piano in the hotel lobby was funny.
Your talent is God Gifted. XO
Never forget cole lam đ€
You played piano in Chinađč
Good luck and your piano performances are world-classđïžđïžđïž
Excellent! Thank you for another great video as they all are. Amazing progression in perfection!
Always get goosebumps when I hear you play this Cole! So sad that the film was censored, but awesome that it was even shown in the first place. Just awesome playing as always!! Thanks for sharing!! :-)
Cole, you definitely got the attention of the little boy who probably ran off at the end, to beg his parents to put him in piano lessons. I'm so proud of you. I feel possessive of you as if you were really my own grandson. But thank you for always sharing yourself with me your favorite fan in Kansas City.đ€Șđđ„Žđ„Žđ€đđ
You have a lot to be proud of being a Kansas Citian. Born grew up and went to school outside Kansas City myself.
Shows how great a music writer Freddy was too create this
Freddie***
Freddy was indeed a good performer and occasionally a good composer, but most of the Queen classics were written by an even greater music writer : Brian May!
@@caseys9392 They all made tons of classics.
@@caseys9392 Freddie*
@@caseys9392 and radio Gaga was written by the wonderful Roger Taylor đđ
You are wonderful Cole. It has to be said though that Bohemian Rhapsody is an extraordinary piece of music.
Not bad, and good selection of music to play.....those are classic great tunes. R.I.P. Freddie Mercury.
This young man has a future in music indeed. I hope to see you in the concert hall in my city one day. Bravo!
I've always thought of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody as classical music. There's something of Mozart about it...
There are so many styles in Bohemian Rhapsody. I like the operatic parts too
It's classical rock, I guess
LOL I don't hear Mozart in this piece. I hear the transition from classical music to show tunes, Musicals... the music of the 1920's -30's.
more like bethoven than mozart...
roger le phoque I donât think it sounds anything like Mozart.
A truly beautiful rendition of an amazing song
This Is Amazing. EXCELLENT Playing young Sir. Thanks for posting.
0:00 Bohemian Rhapsody
6:05 Don't Stop Me Now
3:30 that little girl jumping in the back had me dying
Over the top performance! Thank you!
I'm so GRATEFUL you played here at Asia... Your inspiring â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
You are very talented thanks for the awesome rendition
I'm glad some people were into it but seems like a criminally underwhelming crowd response. You had me dancing and singing, thanks đ
U kill it again..amazing n superb talent..good job..excellency always be humble..godbless..luv u..
Amazing! You're so talented. Thank you for sharing.
If you ever come to Taiwan dinners on me for sure!đ
I'd love to go to Taipei, Taiwan one day :(
Jonarez you definitely should! Great food and culture, and most importantly, lovely people.
This is the first time I do know somebody else in Taiwan listens to Cole Lam. I always think I'm the only one since October 2019.
I rarely have a âbadâday, but for several reasons, this day was awful and seemingly had me locked into an emotional cesspool.. Your video of Music of the Night started off and rolled into Sweet Child of Mine, and into this Queen video. They each immediately lifted my spirits! I am inspired. Thank you!
Im a fan. Keep going, you have the world in your hands. When the going gets tough, you stand up and face it head on. you got this. Your amazing and I wish the best for you.
Awesome opportunity! Glad you were able to do that. Great selections for the session also. Keep up the hard work and showmanship!
You are so gifted, welldone
Queen's songs unite people around the world.
one of the finest performances đđđđđđđ
I love seeing how you add and improve each iteration of your songs. And i loved seeing that spotlight come on for you! Awesome dude.
Iâm sure you can play Hey Jude by The Beatles âđŒ
Here you go! czcams.com/video/GNf1wbBf3tY/video.html
@@ColeLam good kid
Cole Lam thank you đđđâđŒ the best
Me too. You can play everything you want!!!!
If this was in Europe a bunch of out of tune people would join in singing, and it would be gloriously awesome
that was not the case in his other videos...
bro thats cap lmfao only a drunk English man would come singing and then accidentally fall on the piano ruining the show
Another awesome performance â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđđđđ
Loved it! Thanks again for a wonderful performance especially in a country like China! Greetings from Minnesota!
Cole, I love the way you get into and feel your music. Your passion for music and playing the piano definitely shows. Keep doing these fantastic performances! (On a side note, try to pick up your mom's language too. It helps you connect to your heritage and better understand the culture and its people. :-) Of course you already understand two languages... English and Music. ;-) )
I am so impressed by Coles videos! He is simply amazing subscribed and Liked! There arent words to describe how impressed I am by your talent. Keep it up kid you're Awesome!
Awesome job Cole. You played that very well. I sure wish I could play the piano myself. I do agree that this was very cool.
What a wonderful experience đ Glad they enjoyed your fantastic playing! đđ đž
Its very relaxing when you play it
I think they were just amazed that that such a young player could play like you do. You are amazing :)
Hey Cole Wow. I think you had stunned the audience, thus the lack of applause from such an amazing arrangement. Didn't seem so rushed this time but had the required allegro when needed. Fantastic. All the best for 2020.
Great video and performance! You did an amazing job with the arrangements as well!
Brilliant Cole...Freddie would be proud
Dude I included myself on your fan list lol.. You really got the skills. Playing instrument is my greatest frustration so I just decided to listen đ . I'm amazed by your renditions specially "Don't stop me now" my all-time favorite. Looking forward for more. đ
Cole, I just love listening to you play - even if I've heard you play it before!! You are outstanding - keep up the great work!
Great job Cole! I was thinking many more would have clapped? Superb!
Premier league strarts at weekend. You are in you favorite Arsenal FC top. I wish to you that your Gunners, make you as happy with their performing on the court, as much as you make us happy while we are watching you and listening you performing. So good luck, bigest fan, Gunner, of Arsenal FC!đȘ
Stay safe, healthy, perect, precious.
Ser đ Cole, maestro, my friend.đ
Freddie & Queen will be proud.

Cole, moments like this are an inspiration to me to continue learning music and seeing just how much music moves people. Thank you.
Edited for punctuation*
It's a glorious day there in China and seems you enjoyed your time there. You played and the people liked your music.
Great talent, thank you for sharingâ€ïž
Still learning how to play Bohemian Rhapsody đ
And every hotel I go, I look for piano to play. Some of them are old, and broken but it still does work! Even itâs broken đ
I prefer Yamaha Grand piano and acoustic piano because of the sound is very unique and awesome and my Piano teacher has it. And my piano is very old..
Youâre the MOST talented boy
Also Iâm a fan of Queen I listen and I donât forget my fave Beethoven songsđ
Have a NEW YEAR cole Lam!!
Have a blessed new year
Peace đ
That piano sounds like it's out of tune.
It is a bit
I have no musical ear at all and even I can tell it's out of tune, so it must be bad lol.
Cole Lam I kinda like it the piano sounds like a rock piano out of tune like that
@@demonitized1020 yes, that's also why I like public pianos. They are all different and sound different like accents
you are correct 100%, either shit tune or shit quality piano.
Awesome! You can feel the each note!
Hello Cole, again a really fantastic performance. Many thanks for your wonderful piano playing always. You make me crying of happiness very often. A Happy New Year 2020 to you. Cheers, Norbert from Germany.
Nailed it again, my friend.
That piano with your piano skills sounds perfect
Absolutely brilliant
Querido Cole. Fascinada con tus bellisimas interpretaciones. Puedo pasar las 24 horas del dia oyendote tocar el piano. Sos luz para el alma. Dios te siga bendiciendo. Un gran abrazo desde ,đșđŸđșđŸđșđŸ
It gets my attention little pal.......as good as ever......................love it!!!
It's amazing how he has time to play the piano so well, do his studies, and like & reply to the hundreds (or even thousands) of new comments on all of his videos everyday... Keep up the good work :)
Thank you. I like reading the comments đ
That was brilliant as always!! đ Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!!! đđ
Oh my God đđđCole you're so amazing đđđâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđđđ!!!
