When he said "welcome to the world of genius" I already feel unwelcome
I was nearly asked to be on this show.
Lmao same😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're also a genius potentially. Find your passion, find your genius.
HAHAHAHAHAA
I once met a woman in a homeless shelter and watched her as she pencil sketched a very detailed portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II as she looked on the day of her Coronation. She did this intricate portrait with her EYES CLOSED. She later told me that she never puts her signature on any of her portraits because she doesn't take credit for any of them. She told me; "They come from some other place."
You're hillarious you must be Hallucinate or Daydreaming lady
That’s part of her gimmick. You think she didn’t practice doing that many many many times?!?
Well fyi, most schizo/ mentally ill ppl were super intelligent, A students, with extordinary talents.... not uncommon at all... its part of the defects of the human brain.... sad , makes you wonder when u see a homeless/ unfortunate soul, wat extraordinary things they may/ can/will hav accomplished,,
There has always been a fine line between genius and madness
Just an incredible comment, whether true or false
The devotion of Kim Peeks' father to his son was so unconditional, selfless, and pure.
Kim Peek died of a heart attack in his home in 2009 at the age of 58. Here's the fellow's wiki page:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Peek#
I met Kim Peek twice. He remembered me the second time even though it had been a few years. He was a sweet, warm man with an amazing mind. His wonderful father’s sacrifice to be his full-time caretaker should be praised along with Kim’s memory!
His father died 2014🤦♀️
I don't know how someone can be humble and cocky but the piano kid has found a balance between both
I'd say it's more that he knows his worth in his profession.
At that age? He's so wise
Poor kid.
lol, yeah. he did
Wht so special, there tons in china.
Passion is key. Nobody can be a genius in something that bores them.
Very well said.
Right on target.. not bragging but i used to be passionate about making hand drawings and painting since I was 3-4 years old(according to my parents) and perhaps i could have become a very good artist(I had several awards/prizes up to my university years) BUT there came a time when i just lost all interest especially when I started discovering other things like sports,etc. I’m middle-aged now and that passion never came back. That said i still could and had created some drawings for my kids’ homework after so many years of not doing that kind of stuff. I guess the ability and creativity were already carved in my brain. As for my kids, my son especially has this kind of talent and by himself created very good stuff despite not having formal training. Not even from me! Probably genetics has also got something to do with it 🤔
@CodeNation I believe passion fuels and sustains talent so they go hand in hand e.g Mozart.
True i agree😊
Also accepting, encouraging environment most definitely plays a huge role as well! Harder for one to grow or thrive in an abusive, toxic environment.
I'm sure nurture, love, protection, encouragement definitely plays a huge part. Esp to ones psych/growth. + development, personality, emotional intelligence, confidence, self Esteem, etc. Not everyone Gets as Lucky as to have a decent environment! big props to those parents. 🤗
Kim Peek passed away in 2009 and his father passed in 2014. He was such a brilliant person.
Oh really... they died?..... 😢. Both were brilliant, father and son. Wish I had met them. This love from father to son and reverse touched me deeply. That moment, dad with the patch on his cheek, telling Kim: No cancer... and Kim replied: Okay dad. 😭.
@@aarde7036 I know I was also very moved by their story. I’m sure the father was devastated to lose his son but at least he knows he was always cared for
Thank you for sharing
RIP Kim Peek and Father...🕊️💜🕊️
That makes me sad. Such a phenomenal person.
The children may be geniuses but the parents are the real heroes for always supporting them and being there for them.
The mom of the first girl has a genuinely solid reason for her way of raising her child. Let them focus and harness their amazing talent to channel it towards something important in the future
This is the Jewish ways of raising their young, let them become what God wills them to be not what we will them to be. But this video is not based on the Jewish nature of living and so be warned.
@@scorphkclark9122 right-o, I don't know how anyone is supposed to know what God wants of them, so 🤷. Sure, if I had a voice in my head telling me to paint, and developed a fantastic talent, that sounds great, but that hardly describes most people's lives, don't you think? Just seems incredibly unhelpful to most people to tell them "just do what God wants you to do"
What did God tell you to do? Cause I'm pretty sure they haven't said anything to me
The artist was my favorite.
She also seemed happiest unlike the young pianist who is already suffering from some level of anxiety,.
@@scorphkclark9122 Hmm….so this “god” you’re referring to, “wills” heroin addicts to become heroin addicts? Or alcoholics to become alcoholics? Or poor people to be poor their whole lives?
Or even worse…serial killers to become serial killers, because they LOVE what they do! That’s why they keep doing it! In fact, many of them CLAIM they’re doing “god’s will”!
And they believe it EVERY BIT as fervently as does the young painter prodigy!
They can’t ALL be right…but they can ALL be wrong!
I think other basic skills should be taught also. Her parents aren't going to live forever. Someday she may have to go to the store by herself and won't be able to calculate the tax or change and that's sad.
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." ―Albert Einstein
I don't really believe that ― but I suspected it to give rise to a flux of likes.
@@gnosis8142 Because you did not understand (I think)
@@benuenutocellini2691 - I did; but definitely - not everyone is a genius. There are many - who are, or would be - if they would be in the right environment. So I partially agree with the statement.
YOU PLAGIARIZE YOUR HOMEWORKS, GNOS?
@@JayMBusa - no idea what you said.
One things about all these geniuses is they have supportive parents. A great gift.
The world has never been short of geniuses, what is lacking is the eyes to discover geniuses. ❤
Like socialism, its not a failure when it's intentional.
Very very few geniuses, lots who think they are geniuses
China has more high-IQ geniuses than any other country but they cannot create anything new under communism.
You sound like Charlie Chan
@@Dr.Pancho.Tortilla Well it is indeed rare, about a 0.4% chance of being one. But, with a global population around 8 billion, there should be approximately 32 million geniuses across the world, which is a decent amount.
"Don't let school get in the way of your education"
~~Mark Twain~~
Lol
Be careful what you get good at though ha
Why was the pianist accompanist so reluctant to compliment the young boy?
"Don't believe all the comments from CZcams"
~~Valladolid~~
Hi
I feel so sorry for Ariel. All he wanted was his fathers approval.. Also why is no one talking about how sweet Ben is? I’d love to be friends with him. He made me smile over and over again. All the best to you Ben. I hope you found your way ❤️
Rest in Peace, Kim Peek.
You truly have a beautiful soul.
I absolutely love how majority of these parents are just allowing their kids to grow their talents, at the kids request, they're not forcing them into it like you see on most gifted kids shows
Lmfak sorry yes and no. I am born and raised American and I see that America is somehow adopting the Jewish way of raising children. Why I don't have the slightest clue but it is good. Why becauseetting children follow what they see is true is the truest way to bring up a child let God guide the children not men.
Except for the pianist's parents. He came to his father for approval after the jazz session and the father implied that he had not done his best. The boy was so tired and had a back ache, and had tears in his eyes when he realised he didn't perform at peak level. That boy will probably not grow up to be a happy adult. He was expected to excel since birth, and it shows in the way he talks and thinks.
@@halcyonsikes7018 that's why i said 'majority' and not 'all'
@@halcyonsikes7018 I disagree. My parents always told me how smart I was and blah blah. Looking back, I was a normal intelligence kid that felt like I had higher standards set. If they would've seen my grades and said "you can do better" I think I would've been disappointed at the time, but appreciative later. The father said what he did because he knows his son is capable of more. His son already knows that, he expressed it himself.
@@Malicious2013 I don't think you should compare yourself to that kid.. This is not the same childhood at all. What happened in that video was not a parent encouraging a typical unmotivated kid with avarage intelligence. This video shows a child that has already reached his limit and is pushed even further.
when the mom said that kids should focus their energy into field in which they are interested in. i agree 100%. people who have amazing skills like these practice them at such a young age they are a part of them into adulthood weather they know it or not.. those paintings were Beautiful btw!!
i wrote short stories, could draw anything, other talents. all gone. you need parents & schools to push & rcocognise these abilities. not become just another sheep,number..like the guy with brain damage. people have had head trauma,to the side,& woke up genius. what does that tell you.. i know for a fact,we have dna,turned off. put 2 & 2 together.. the girl painter. might be getting messages from a higher source,,but not god, do you belive in b/foot.?. they talk to you in your head..fact
Same, I could pick up on almost anything I became interested in art being one of the first and martial arts next followed by science and math but the main ones I focus on now are martial arts and mechanics. I wish I would have never stoped drawing but I got to caught up in the world and adulting now I feel as if I can draw a thing
@@phantomwalker8251 I have a similar experience but I brushed it off as adhd
Do what you love is living your destiny.. We are open too to change l love Jesus
@@zoecallanan5485
“Brushed it off” 😆 As you talk about painting and drawing
Loved the humility of Ben Pridmore who said 'really it's only since discovering this hobby of mine that I've excelled at anything I suppose'...good for you Ben !
Parents are showing true support for their children. They are not trying to change them for the sake of the world, but to keep them to who they are. All are inspirations.
I looked up Kim Peek and was devastated to learn that he died in 2009 from a heart attack and his father Fran died in 2014. Breaks my heart knowing they were trying to plan for Fran’s death and Kim’s care but instead Fran had to bury his son who he had cared for all his life 😔 RIP Fran and Kim Peek
Oh, sad news of today. Unconditionally, the world gets a wee bit smaller. Thx for the post Tia. RIP from Los Angeles, California, USA I remain, Sentebey at 78 years old.
That's very sad but thanks for the update
💌 Amen!!💗🕯️God bless their incredible souls!💗
I feel like it’s somewhat lucky it happened that way
They are in God's paradise already being taken care of for sure
I feel so bad for that little boy at 31:23 -- he felt like he failed everybody and almost broke down crying. His standards are so high he won't accept how brilliant he is even after exhaustion and tiredness sets in. I wish I could tell him how wonderful he really was.
his father is living his dream through his child.
@@sabatamoabi4051 And that's never easy on the child.
His dad should have praised him. Fathers a coward.
just started already reading comments.. and damn sad. i dont get people. humans are such filth even to their own kids
I doubt he’d believe you either
36:05
"My child is a genius"
"Do you think any ability inherited from his parents?"
"Yes, his interests parallel my own, age to age"
What a humble way to say "I'm a genius" 😂
Seeing a little kid play a piano like that really is an incredible experience. Not quite the same level, but I once had a 6th grade student who shocked me at the end of the year by playing Senbonzakura nearly flawlessly (at full speed) at the end of the year. Didn't even know he played. Blew me away.
Sad but true... traditional schooling system takes away the genius abilities within a child :(
Well said.
Genius ability or not, it programs the individual to conform to rules and norms, the manmade evil of society.
"What is the use of education if we do not become creative, concious and truly inteligent."
Teachers including parents, mentors etc should be teaching children from young how to think independently, providing them with opportunities to create.
Its true to say that most of the human race is unconscious, asleep, however we are good at imitating robots.
So inspiring and wonderful to see such creative power by these beautiful beings.
That and vaccines and fluoride and GMO foods.
Linda Carter. Anti semite.
Loved the Mama’s response regarding her daughter’s childhood, so true. She’s learning, growing, enjoying true nature, loved on by family and developing her spirituality in her own way. It’s an absolute beautiful almost perfect childhood. She seems genuinely happy. Truly happy. Her family also seems to be very supportive, loving and humble. I’m sure they may receive some negative feedback bc theres money being made, but this is not Hollywood. She is not surrounded by filth, ill intentioned ego driven types, she is being cared for and allowed to flourish. Most of us don’t understand what is going on inside her to push her to create the art, seems as if her family has been able to cater to her unbelievable talent as well as keep her grounded in family. I really adore her story. Such a beautiful girl and her art is breathtaking. I kept going back and looking at her pieces. Exquisite. Hope she is still doing well today.
mashallah
Shidd them bills paid don’t let them fool ya ,if your child paid the bills you’d layback and chill to ✌🏾
I have a question. It seems completely off topic, but I’m trying to figure something out here. For the family with the painting daughter, did anyone else feel like the Mom wears the pants in the relationship?
Is there an update on these ppl?
Inspiration drives me.
Imagine how much talent and passion would be in the world if our time wasnt wasted being put through school and then work. These kids were so lucky to be supported amd encouraged.
The painter girl is phenomenal God bless her 🙏
asking the boy if he's a genius,and he answered back,I will be one day but not yet. such a humble human being.😍
Lian Bergancia Arial's father seems to be living his life vicariously through his son and putting him under a load of pressure. This boy will never know a carefree childhood and that is pretty sad.
I'm super sure he will thank his dad for that later..
I disagree, humility is actually beleiving you are no better than anyone else.
+Kelly Stone he's enjoying it.and can complain if he's tired or what.
I found him to be very pretentious, and also his family has put a lot of pressure on his shoulders...
As a young child I was always ahead of my age group in reading and math, because we played games and made it fun. Then in the second year of school the games stopped and out came the books and pens, I then failed the rest of my school life and didn’t even finish high school. Now I’m 27 and studying what I enjoy and once again I’m ahead of class. If you enjoy something you can be great at it.
Hey Michael, you remind me of me. lol thx for the post
That’s a good story! Best wishes 🙏
Yep. I’m a high school junior and I love chemistry. I study chemistry on my own outside of school so I read about topics we haven’t yet learned about in class but that doesn’t matter because I have to stay constrained to what we are doing in class.
Guys, everybody is GENIUS, just don't destroy the curiosity inside you.
I'm also curious about many things, I don't care about school.
@@wm4893 a lot of the geniuses in history certainly were better intellectually equipped than most, but it was there curiosity that made them do great things.
Extraordinary, touching, very overwhelming abilities but the young pianist was particularly touching when he checked at the end of his last jaz debut "was it professional" at the tender age of around 10.
Exactly what I just heard and then saw your comment…weird. But as a jazz musician myself, I really really admire him asking that. Because I’ve certainly been very unprofessional in my music career, so…makes me as a 30 year old stop and think..from a 10 year old! Always a good thing.
I'm here for the same reason. The last comment by Areil. But what struck me was the man he asked "how was it?" To didn't seem to give him much praise at all.
As a matter of fact, his facial expression was more like you did "so so"
I heard about Akiane yrs & yrs ago when I bought her 1st book after seeing her on a talk show. I still have it. Her gift left a massive impression on me. Beautiful painter & poet! Respect to the parents for supporting their gifts!
I watched a documentary on her a couple of years ago & her talent & creativity is incredible. Her mastery of colour & texture is exceptional
Yeah but the whole "god" thing totally kills it
It seems she is supporting her parents
@@BorisNoiseChannel
Yes, but it's a family business & they're employed by her. They all have their own duties. It only showed a little bit about her business, but they handle everything from book keeping, scheduling events, gallery viewings, packaging & shipping, all her travel etc. The list is much longer, but you get the idea. Imo they earn it instead of a lot of parents of famous children in Hollywood who "manage," their child AND their money.
@@allisonjames2923
You should see her book. The 1st one. The images are stunning, but the way she explains everything is really speacial.
The piano kid is really great. You can tell he is musical, he understands how to express himself and he cares about phrasing, the emotion he gives trough music more than the technical stuff. It is a stark contrast to the countless "musical genius" kids who are just very technically drilled since they were 3 years old but don't have any musical understanding of what they do.
The pressure on him to perform must be unbearable, but I feel that he will be a successful artist one way or another.
How do YOU know?

@@adielstephenson2929 lol right! like the other musical talents are purely technical players and can't feel the music.. pssh!
My Son had some amazing musical abilities.
Without a lesson he just started playing his favorite songs
It scared me because he wanted only to play music.
Flexprog
He sounds very boring on the piano and his ears look like wings!
It's amazing how fast the rain man can answer every questions, he's like google.
Faster than my internet connection
Including the suggestions as you type lol
should not be compared to google
dnt do that. dnt compare. google is slow
Omg yall it's a damn joke. I don't think the dude meant he was actually Google.
God get a sense of humor.
My niece was gifted with a natural musical ability, following in her mother's footsteps. She learned classical guitar very young. But I don't think she wanted to be just like her mom. She did direct the school choir at a very young age, but then branched out to play tennis and was excellent at that. Then she chose to fly planes. She's thinking of becoming a pilot. She has already completed her solo flights, etc. She's talented in so many areas that she finds it hard to choose! All this, and she's only 20. On top of this she has a large group of friends and is active in church and social activities. So proud of her for aspiring to her potential!
Man, was that ever uplifting. I actually feel in a better mood after experiencing these precious gifts to the world.
kim peek's dad fran is a hero, what an amazing man
Best comment on this page! A hero for real!
Talent is God's gift that even a mad being can b given
I’m devastated. I just looked them up and Kim Peek died from a heart attack in 2009 and Fran died in 2014. They were thinking about what to do after Fran died but instead he had to bury his son he had cared for all his life 😔
@@TwinsBigLikeTiaI've known of the guy for so long, but had no idea he had been gone for 14 yrs now
The rain man is such a kind, lovable guy. He's awesome!
Rain man lol
@@brucewayne5916 That's what they call him not me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He died a couple years ago.
@@paulpolster4802 Aw now I'm sad.
Yes, he certainly is. I teared at the thought of his living father passing one day. Leaving him to be cared for by his sibling. There's no love like a parents love. I Pray the world will always be kind and nurturing to him.
A child in a late night Jazz Club. Accomplishing the keys , is note worthy.
An artist who pours out his soul in key, who relives his life's emotions in key... Epic
Akiane's talent is amazing. The most beautiful work I've seen in a long time.
"welcome to the world of genius"
me: oooops sorry wrong door
Hehehe
Good one!
Maggie Chau 😂
Lmaooo
Hahahaha
The piano kid was stressing me out. Imagine how intense he will continue to become as he journeys through life into adulthood.
...😬🤪😭same for me.
Or he'll redirect. ..
He's 22 now. This is an old documentary.
I just watched Ariel Lanyi's (that kid now grown up) performance from April 2021 of Scriabin's piano sonata and Szymanowski variations, and I must say he has become an amazing pianist, and has a much better memory than anybody else featured in this video of geniuses.
Well after he meets his 1st crush that might change
I hope Akiane lives a long, fruitful life because I am positively inspired by her work.
All of these parents are amazing. Love it
I can't quite seem to put my finger on it, but there is something about this video that says a lot about reality. Maybe there is a number of amazing phenomenons and discoveries that we just haven't realized yet. This gives me hope and excitement in a way. Thanks for sharing
I think in the same way
Yes, there is something that we can’t explain. Some guest on my channel here has answers for that. Please feel free to watch if you like. My guest on my channel has mentioned the girl who can draw on this video thats how I landed on this particular episode.
We're conditioned from birth to believe we are ordinary. Videos like this prove we are anything but. The powers that be don't want a self assured society self doubt is the modus operandi and creates a confine of being trapped in mediocrity and a reliance on government.
@@Samual_33 100%
About the first one, the artist.. This has got me feeling kinda guilty. She said once she discovered this "Gift" she never stopped. I too just learned from almost nowhere how to sculpt, all self taught. But the difference is I just randomly stop doing this art, sometimes for months. Thinking about it now I feel this is a waste of a gift on my part. This girl has inspired me to "get it together"! Thank you for that! Also, you work beautiful!
@Edward Burton Pick up sculpting again even if its something simple, I have the feeling it will save you.
Me and my two younger brothers were gifted each in various fields yet we took a speed reading course at a university and each of us out did the college students. Yet i was the slowest. 2nd oldest was the best. He read the bible 3x during a summer .i test him by reading a random verse and he could tell me book,verse and phrase. He read over 1700 words a min with 85% comprehensive. I read 900 + @ 75%comprehensive yet my abilities were great yet sad with 100 % success. Yet sad. I advice certain military generals. Yet you ever wonder how fbi could arrest 21 terrorist and convict in one year. Lol. No $$$
I play the guitar so beautifully a young man wept and committed suicide. I will never touch the strings again.
Big hug for you for finding the path again. There's nothing wrong with taking a break. Everyone has their own phase on doing things. I hope you won't feel that you wasted some years of your life for not pursuing your gift. What's important is that you picked it up again. Good luck on your new journey!
Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it. One needs to have, not only the talent, but the passion for the activity.
Akiane's gift is magnificent. GOD bless... You are a true genius
I'm a painter that was considered a prodigy growing up. I can attest that I've moved my hand on paper and canvas with brushes, pencils and chalk more often than I slept.
Are you a genius now?
The young girl painter is brilliant. The father seems greedy though. She's not thinking about money. Just loving what she's doing
WHOEVER IS GOING TO ' TAKE CARE' OF HER WILL BENEFIT. HE KNOWS SHE WILL TAKE CHARGE AT 18 ,HE SAID.SO.
It would appear u may have commented before finishing the video, I think they are doing a good job raising her
Greedy because he sold his daughter paintings with her permission and then bought a house for all of them with his daughter's career in mind? I wish my father was that kind of greedy.
The conspiracist in me wonders if the dad is painting these or has someone else painting these and using her as a gimmick to generate hype, sales etc. The first red flag was her saying she sees heaven and also they never show her painting anything.
Harry Balls they show her painting that prince painting
Interesting that Akiane sketched so amazingly, but still signed them like a 5-year-old
Thats how God is amazing
She has been lead by God of Jacob…it wasn’t really her
Great interview Robbie ! The history we have lost over time is crazy. Thanks to people like John Lander to set us straight..!
Ben really makes me feel so happy.
I don’t really know why, he just genuinely makes me feel hopeful for my future, young prodigies dont make me feel hopeful for my future even if I am proud and happy for them.
Ben just seems so lovely and I hope to be like him when I grow up, I wish the best for him!
Artists Dad says, "We actually gave her her own kitchenette"........Uhm..... She actually gave it to herself! Her artwork has paid for everything.
Chris Cross shows who has control of the money
It is typical for the parents to ruin a good thing through their absolute greed.
So God gave her visions so she could charge $300K for an original painting and her family could buy a $1M house? I don’t call that “serving others” as her father so humbly stated.
Serving others would be living less ostentatiously and giving the profits to the poor and destitute.
You people are the most judgmental idiots I've ever listened to. Do you think her parents aren't doing a good job because they use her success to provide a better life for her? When she was painting at eight years old, were they supposed to let her sale her paintings at yard sales so she could get fresh paints and the buyers could sell the paintings for thousands of dollars and her family could do whatever they did to make ends meet? Of course not. They helped her make a crapload of money off her talents and bought a big house that SHE lives in with the people she loves most in the world and they all owe it to her.
For those who criticize how they handle their money or tell them they should donate it all to charity, are you donating all your money to charity? Doubt it.
Those paintings are so amazing. They look like a picture from a camera. She’s definitely one of the greatest artist I’ve ever seen.
Well I am better. He he he he.
God told me I have to go to my Pub every Saturday and I`ve been doing it for over 9 years now..🍺
what's her name?

Family cash cow🤪
The jaw-dropping impact of this artist girl's paintings is astounding. And I have only ever seen them on this video.
Perhaps there is another Michelangelo among us today.
God bless Fran for taking care of his son. Kim is an amazing man.
I love the relationship between the little pianist/musician his base player. He seems to want to nurture his talent, but he also encourages him in a way that a child should be nurtured
No, the base player was completely out of order and doesn't nurture him at all, told him je was being unprofessional for wanting to stop playing, he is a child and was exhausted. Not encouragement at all.
I agree. They obviously know his personality better than an internet audience does. I agree with another comment I read that said he probably wants that challenge. He's not asking how his performance was just to get flattered. He actually wants to constantly improve.
why do i feel all these people are going to the willy wonka factory together lol
STOPPP I WAS LITERALLY THINKING THAT IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND I DIDNT REALISE TILL I READ UR COMMENT
Very interesting. I'm glad I was able to see these God gifted human beings who have shared their knowledge to us. Thank you very much indeed for this beautiful documentary. Much love 🙏❤️🌷
i prefer to say theyre ''unlocked'' in a certain aspect
What an excellent father of the young chemist! That is engaged and active parenting. Much respect, sir.
Same with the young pianist. Inspiring!
The pianist kid 😭😭can I adopt him? He doesn’t deserve this😔 💔and his so lovely and adorable. Kim Peeks Father deserves a noble prize🏅
Adopt me.. :D
The pianist child broke my heart when he was playing late at night and was tired and they didn’t want to let him stop playing. Idk just worries me if he is being taken advantage of by adults because of his musical genius
I don’t see him as a genius, but he is a child prodigy. He is someone who was nurtured from birth and has been learning and practicing long hours, and that has speeded up his timeline and perfected his craft. He will join other virtuosos by dint of cumulative time. However, the key was the exposure in infancy, his father’s drive, and his son’s modeling of that drive. Reminds me of Tiger Woods and his father. Both fathers created their masterpieces.
I all honesty. Her studio should be the biggest room in the house, that's an incredibly small room for the girl that's creating the work that feeds that family.
Yeah I thought about it too and she also needs more light. That shows her parents heart
boy, this guy is probably one of the greatest fathers ever; he cares his son since ever and still will until he dies.
My dad was a genius. He was the best father in the whole world... 😇
A lot of these were pretty cool and impressive, but man, pushing that kid to stay up late and perform while tired and then telling him he could do better just felt cruel.
If anything they were pushing him to just sleep. He wanted to be professional and stay up. Kid said he could do better, dad agreed because he knew that if he weren't sleep deprived it would be. Dad was letting the kid learn his limits and it was one night.
I agree with Pete. I didn't sense his father pushing him in either direction but leaving it up to him, but he could have been more encouraging than "We'll talk about it (how you did) later."
He didn't want to lie to his child and way it was amazing. His child is too mature to realise when he is being lied to. They clearly have a very strong relationship which is why the dad wanted to tell him the truth, he said they can discuss it later because he didn't want to upset his son infront of all these people. He was being a good father.
It was astounding that he considered his performance a 'flop' all the while people in the crowd are comparing him to Dave Brubek. Just incredible.
It is cruel to say that to a triggered millenial, but mature people want the truth and driven people want to do better. I realize this is alien to most in our culture, it was less alien 50 years ago.
The human mind is like a big universe.Nobody knows exactly what is inside.
Brain
every human body is a universe
I feel mine is just a black hole.
Yes and no.
Exactly, we are all the universe observing itself
Wow, the paintings by that young woman at the start are truly beautiful and fantastic.
The painting shown at 3:53 is exactly who met me at the gate and told me I had to go back. This young lady, Arkiana, is truly blessed with a grand gift that reaches from beyond here.
I think the German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, gave a good definition of genius:
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
Going by this definition, the people shown in this video are indeed talented however they're not geniuses.
Leonardo da Vinci is the archetypal genius. He was a polymath who was, in some areas, several hundred years ahead of his time.
It’s funny that this comment barely has any “likes” or comments. After being up for a year. It’s too intelligent for the average dolt to wrap their heads around (and probably their emotions as well).
I sense a strong odor of envy from within and without your comment. Are you offended by the effect of this video which causes all non-geniouses to feel like a baboon with a learning disability?
You're not making a fair comparison. These young geniuses probably compare well to a adolescent DaVinci.
None have reached their full potential, so that's only a 'now' statement. Tomorrow they all may be bona fide.
@Christigoth as goes for all famous people
What a talented piano player that kid is. And so well spoken at that age. Fascinating. Truly an intelligent being.
That boy said it all "I don't play fast, I understand the music" That's how I feel about music. I was born with the ability to be good at music(perfect pitch, quick to pick up and learn) and played piano and guitar since I was 5 years old. But dont think that doesn't come without practice. Everyone wants me to play my "fastest" piece but I think the best pieces I play are harmonically beautiful pieces and understanding that relationship.
The way the father didn't comfort Ariel when he was worried about his performance because he was tired touched a nerve. He was going to cry he didn't even want to be on film. He could of at least comforted him in public and critiqued him in private.
He did comfort him, touching his face lovingly and affectionately.
I agree. I felt so bad for him, being so hard on himself and the father didn't comfort him.
coz the father knows his son is a musical genius. Ariel just wants confirmation 😂 kidding.. there are people who are not very showy about their emotions in public, pretty sure he is supportive of his son 101%.. this is more than what a video can capture
Could've (could have)...
'could of'? What does it mean, in English.
You gotta teach the girl how to do basic maths.. her paintings are phenomenal but imagine her trying to find financing for a house and can’t add 1+1 lol
Obviously she understands basic math, the math that happens in everyday life is self taught
@@user-hg1jp1uf7w really?
Bless these people. Why are the rest of us so limited? What happened?
These people are something else. The artistic/creative people will thrive because we need their inspiration. Thank God for these wonderful souls.
I learned a lot from this video about geniuses thank you and please keep uploading videos
I’ve watched this program a few times, over the past few years, and love sharing it with friends and family. Good for him!
⭐️way to go Kim!⭐️
I love how the boy always asks the bass player "is this professional?". He truly values his partners opinion. As for the dad I know some think he's harsh, and maybe he thinks he means well but he can definitely practice being a bit less harsh, he's just a little kid. And shouldn't force him to perform at night shows. He could practice on complimenting his son that's for sure especially in public. And comfort him when he's being down in himself
Yep, that's the one think I didn't like either. The narrator said you will not find an audience for that type of music at 4pm ... of course you will. You schedule the concert at that time, and if someone is a true fan, he will make time to attend.
wish the best for these people !
i am happy to have seen this video !!! thanx so much
This really touch my heart... knowing this type of people sometimes is afraid of the world whe. The world really need them... i pray along my life weather im live short or long that my dearest son know how to achieve it and overcome his fear of the human society, and i pray his gifted godly talents get used.
This piano kid.. how? He seems made of something whole and intelligent. As if he's already lived. Like an old soul has taken form in his body. How can a child come already programmed with these abilities? There's something to how humans are created that is mind-blowing. It seems something to do with energy and intelligence that is already present, somehow their brains come already wired in a way that would only come as a result of a lifetime of experience. Savants and geniuses tell us that there is so much more to understand about what we are and it's amazing.
Reincarnation. It is even in the Bible
Yes, 100% agreed! Definitely an argument for intelligent design.
I like what you said in your comment but it brought up an old old documentary I watched a while back about the acquired savant which is entirely different they usually acquire some special ability after such a trauma as a struck by lightning in a coma for 15 years a simple fall down and bump their head and wake up and become somebody completely different interesting that we can be wired that way from conception and then be wired that way, by fault...🤔
I was reading a book that I lost. It was by a philosopher named Immanuel Kant. And, from what I read before I lost my book, is that we are born with knowledge and understanding of certain things. Were crazy beings.
The Child Has Natural Talent, But This Is Simple Memorizing, Not Genius & Is 100% In Programming. Living Life Vicariously Through Offspring.
His Father, Who Used Him As A Tool To Line His Pockets & The Pockets Of His Music Industry Friends. Harsh Criticism & Insults. Being Told You Are Either A Child Or An Adult / Professional Or Amateur. Taken To Seedy Bars For Old Drunks To Have A Spectacle At The Expense Of A Child That Clearly Needs Some Rest And Less Domination By Controlling Adults Without Talent.
Love that the world is still producing people like these. Life is brutal, doubly so for those of intellect that see the world as it is. Stay hopeful, don't forget how to human... always tempting
Blessesd that they have such supportive environment and parents
Its amazing what the human mind can do and accomplish when its fully developed.
I’d love a “where are they now” sequel to this.

For Akiane Kramarik, I was expecting an “abstract” painter splashing paint around at the age of fetus but this is phenomenal!
If she is truly channeling direct from source consciousness (ie god) then her style of painting is spot on. Modern art as you described it is not beautiful. Beauty (which is what her paintings are) is an outward/visual expression of our direct connection to god. Modern art does not have this connection to god/higher consciousness and as such does not illicit the high vibrational emotional response that paintings such as these do. Probably why for many of us modern art leaves us cold.
No it isnt, they are exploiting that little girl, and she is no genius painter let me tell you. Her paintings are hideous.
@@felipemonteagudo2165 so she gets to spend her days doing something she loves, and that’s exploitation? Or should she be in mainstream schooling being taught what to think, and then onto university to be shackled with debt and come out with the hive mind woke programming? To then find her degree is only going to get her into a dull company on minimal wage where she slowly dies a little every day (and that’s if she’s lucky). I know which life I’d choose for my child. And those paintings capture the beauty of life, might not win awards from the art world, but real people appreciate it. The art world prefers monsters like Marina Abramovich!
@@felipemonteagudo2165 😂😂
@@felipemonteagudo2165 I must disagree with your uneducated judgment.
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much.🙏🏻😊
The little Ariel was getting so emotional.. it broke my heart but he was so hard on himself . All of them are people no one is perfect although I thought they were ❤
I want to roll my eyes every time I hear people talk about god but that little girl has some extreme talent, I don’t care how it comes to her. Absolutely amazing
@@adaptiveagile seems to be all atheists can do. Roll their eyes. Wow.
Gabbi is such a great dad. I wish my own father was more like him. If my interests didnt include cars or football he didnt want anything to do with them. Once I hit teenager age and stopped trying to impress him we would go days without speaking. Its so important that parents take interest in what their children are passionate about and give them every resource available within their means to cultivate that passion.
Here, Here...I hope everyone listens, dear person!
Some people ignore awer real power but is out ther us real
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful and phenomenal gifted people living amongst us in our little blue marble we called 🌎
Akiane is a wonderfully talented artist. 🎨
There's no doubt that she is being guided by a higher power. 🙏
Just looking at her paintings gives me a sense of peace. 🕊
I only wonder what kind of "higher power" gives them such a strong love for money... 🤔
She is talented, I have problems just painting my toe nails.
yeah sure, the higher power of mental illnesses in which people commonly have creativity. Her's is delusional disorder.
@@verabolton the girl loves to paint and it truly is a gift from God. God gives talents to people to thrive with. Some see that and some don’t. He has plans of prosperity for you and I too.
@@r.c.l2569
"He has plans of prosperity for you and I too" - but not financial prosperity. God wants us to grow in knowing Him first and foremost, and He's willing to sacrifice our physical wellbeing for our spiritual maturity.
That rain man is incredible.
Many people were super impressed with my memory as a young child (I could watch a movie a handful of times and have it not only memorized but recite it word for word)... but my memory is nothing compared to that rain man. He’s fascinating... especially considering his handicaps.
same here. i could watch a movie and then play it in my head, not just bits and fragments but from the beginning til the end when i was a kid
@@beaconlight4720 but I couldn’t memorize my times tables or tell you more than 2 American Vice Presidents to save my life 😂
It’s funny how much information we can absorb (& retain) if interested, but if it’s something that bores me, it’s incredibly hard to remember.
I can still probably recite word for word the entire movies “the little mermaid”, “sleeping beauty”, all those Swedish pippi long stocking movies, the huggabunch, numerous golden book movies. And more I’m sure 😂
I remember my father (who was actually WAY smarter than me) was fascinated how I can see pictures and movies in my head.
My father was incredibly smart but in a very different way. He had aspergers.
He wasn’t able to see pictures in his head at all, therefore he had an extremely hard time recognizing people he doesn’t talk to often. I use to weird my husband out a lot. We’d watch movies and I’d say “hey that’s Robert Mitchum” or whatever. That’s an example I remember. We use to watch John Wayne westerns and I recognized him right away. Even though he was probably 50 years older. My husband was like “no way”…. It’s not him. Sure enough looked it up. I could always remember faces.
I remember a lot of things apparently lots of people don’t. I remember as a kid being embarrassed that I remembered nerdy songs and I’d deny remembering so they didn’t think I spent all day focusing on that stuff 😂. But I didn’t have to focus. It’s just some stuff, once it’s in my head, it’s there forever. No effort.
But about my father, he was incredibly smart. Smartest person I’ve ever met hands down anyways, but couldn’t see pictures in his head.
I remember one time when I was a teenager I literally dyed my hair red. It looked hideous. At first I was nervous what he’d say. But after about a week of him saying nothing it actually annoyed me he didn’t notice. I finally stopped him one morning and said “DAD!!!! LOOK AT ME”…. “Haven’t u noticed ANYTHING different about me”??????…..
He was surprised my determination and looked me up and down for awhile. He finally said “I don’t know, did you change your hair or something”?? 😂
Mind you I’ve been very blonde since a baby and he’s raised me alone my whole life 😂
Just so funny he barely even knows what I look like and he was weird weird smart 😂
You can memories epic poems or poetry 😍
Thank you Toni for sharing your story. It's very interesting. ❤ Kimberly
mine is video games...i can replay the ones i love in my head flawlessly no matter the lenght
It’s amazing to see all this beautiful souls thanks all of them for being on earth all of them have a great connection to the universe
I met Kim twice. Once when he came to my elementary school and another time when he came to my church. Him and his dad brought the Oscar with them and passed it around so we could all hold it. Him and his dad were some of the best people I ever met. Kim's dad was an angel on Earth for how he took care of his exceptional son.
Love her talent & the families passion & I’d like more natural light in her art area of the new place 🤷🏼♀️ 😊
Fran and kims relationship is so touching :3
Telling a 10 year old that late at night it's "unprofessional" to admit that he's too tired to give his best performance is just abusive IMO. I doubt there was one person in that room who would not have been sympathetic and understanding and accepted that what they had enjoyed was as much as they could expect from a 10yo at that hour.
Because abuse is in their blood. Look at what those israeli pigs are doing to Palestinians
@@FAHM-ic7dk Wow, generalisation much? Let’s face it the Palestinians are not as pure as the driven snow here either. There is good and bad on both sides.
@@catlady2525 The amount of ignorance you share with the world is stupendous. Go back to your cave troll
@@FAHM-ic7dk I think it's clear to intelligent people who is the troll here. Yes, some Israelis are at fault, as are some Palestinians. There are good people on both sides, there are bad people on both sides. It's the same everywhere. I hope that one day in my lifetime the numbers of good people in Israel grow large enough that they elect a more compassionate government to right the wrongs which have been and continue to be perpetrated in the name of all Israelis. I also hope that there are enough good Palestinians to be willing to reconcile and bring a lasting peace to the region.
The man who talked to the kid on stage about telling the audience he was too tired to play wasn't the kid's father.
What a gift from God, Beautiful work 👏👏👏👏👏
Sometimes I can microwave a hotpocket without it exploding... I'm going to be on the part 2 of this show
Brilliant comment lol.

Love that haha
I feel the same way when it comes to burning toast.
accountant guy is a really likeable person, hope he found/finds something in life that makes use of his amazing gift
These are really gifted skillsets and utilities. My definition of genius doesn't even begin to compare to these novelties.
