- www.ted.com At TEDxRotterdam, world champion whistler Geert Chatrou performs the whimsical "Eleonora" by A. Honhoff, and his own "Fête de la Belle." In a fascinating interlude, he talks about what brought him to the craft.

Lmaooo yo best comment
Hahaha LOL good one. earlier I saw another hilarious comment I can't find anymore, but I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe :'D
it said: "Take it easy R2D2..."
Hahahaha, you really cracked me up, goobs.
lmaooo
Haha Haha
Most men's catcalls: Two syllables.
His: . Fantaisie-Impromptu in C# minor
+Cucha Racha I guess I'll stick to the quick one, but Für Elise or Midnight Sonata might also be very nice.
Whistling Gran Vals people start checking their phones ever so often, at least the Nokia users.
+The Major I whistle the Samsung over the horizon text message version, have had people ask me if I work for Samsung (I'm korean) :)
+Dieman-D Eyes I do that sometimes, but I also meow well enough to confuse people, so...why not?
+The Jew moonlight Sonata
...and still gets rejected!
This guy must've been a bird in his past 37 lives.
you know the tweeting technique?
yeah, that too
Birds actually don't whistle. They don't even have lips...
Simon Piniel
A whistler mostly whistles with his tongue
and with the natural liqud in his mouth.
If it's not enough for such songs like this,
than he adds some water,as you can see here.
Precious fun fact there... So does it takes lips to whistle or not? In any case, I guess we can agree birds are singing using their vocal cords while he does not.
Simon Piniel
BOTH , dear Simon.
I wrote: MOSTLY he whistles with his tongue,
( while breathing IN ,above his lips).
*
I ´d like to say it clearer:
It´s like playing harmonica~
You make the melody while breathing in & out
using your lips AND your tongue.*
*
I never got it, to play harmonica between the lines of a song.
So I tried to whistle the intermezzi.
You may watch a clip I uploaded
Maybe you can hear how I do it betweeen the lyrics~
czcams.com/video/xRhKVpkdW_8/video.html
that's exactly how I imagined a pro whistler to look
Lmao
that comment hah
GHOSTLYSPY you must be fun at parties
Like Weird Al Yankovich's fat uncle?
That's just mean, c'mon man
this is opera for birds
chu y 😂😂😂😂🇰🇪
Purdy cool! .......

Guitarsquatch M.
yes ice was a beast
I am jealous of this man... I can relate a lot though, everyone in my family hates my whistling and tells me to stop every day but I still do it because it helps me relieve stress and discomfort
Bruh, nah wtf
ky for president
Kill
ндчdэи шгiтэ omg same I do all the time even at school
😁😁😁😁😁
When you misread the title and want to watch the "World champion wrestler" ... and find this.
Same here....wtf
make room for the WRESTLER WHISTLER!! *strutting around flapping his arms and whistles*. We could be on too something here.
😂- funny
Hand in pocket like a boss.
***** lmao
Xd
Haha yesss
Chesty would be proud
He was masturbating
dude swallowed a flute
lol yes you say right
More like he has a penny whistle for a vocal chord.
I feel bad for my man, he just wanted to eat some free tacos
not a whole flute
😂😂😂
Omg your comment made laugh so hard!!
Seriously, this man's got a gift, whistling at a difficulty level that lots of people won't even reach after years of trying
every time he takes a drink...
...he's wetting his whistle
I don't get it
that wasn't much of a joke was it
The others might not appreciate it, but this joke is fantastic.
Good pun is good.
cried
Imagine what the world would be like with someone like him going through the streets everyday to work and whistling…
What is more important than the flashiness of it is the tone. It's sweeter than it is piercing.
This is actually amazing. It felt bizarre watching someone with such 'whimsical' ability, such control and finesse but for me, seeing no physical instrument was odd, as compared to singing. Fantastic!
Why is everyone posting such hateful comments about this guy? He's got a wonderful talent!
Sylvan Evergreen not hateful. Actually every comment is laced with comedy but certainly most if not all are amazed
His hair. That is why
@@isaiahallen6241 Oh screw off, he's got a style.
@@EggwardPolska the same style a mop used to clean Mc Donald has
Sylvan, you're a fool with no sense of humor.
Is that a tinkerbell name?
I just watched 12 minutes of a guy whistling... I think it might be time for me to leave CZcams for the night. Also, was the three-minute Rolex advert really necessary? I'm watching a dude whistle on the internet, do you think I have the kind of money to afford a Rolex?
Hahaha so true mate. Hahaha.
You can hear the rolex wearers whistling in the audience...
You could afford a Rolex if you could whistle like this guy!
He's brilliant.
+kevvome Not sure about that

Once heard someone at my old graduate university whistling like this as I was walking across campus. Had to just stop and listen to him until he stopped! Was blown away! Honestly, I'm probably the one who considers this amazing and not completely annoying! :)
Misty K blown away...he...shouldn't have been standing that close then! ;)
@@MrAnd3rs3n ... underrated bro 👌🏻
It's 3 am, I should be studying for a Calc test.
Motifo so I'm not the only one who gets to urge for professional whistling while doing calculus
Out of curiosity, did you pass your calc test?
HA
Just whistle while you work...
How did you do on the test?
I have never heard a whistler have such control, pitch and technique. Actually, I didn't know it could sound like this!
Imagine if this dude was Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy
Time to die
thanos be like , its fckn unpredictable im dead
Lmaoooo
I watched this video and became obsessed with learning to whistle, after 3 days of no tone and hours of daily trying I finally got a tone, a my mouth was super sore, by the next day I had several tones and now on day 5 I can do small tunes and my tone is improving tons! You can learn to whistle! Still trying to get vibrato down but I wanna get good, not some half crap whistle but for those first 3 days I wasn't sure I would ever figure it out. XD
Geert's whistling is like an instrument, and he plays it superbly !
"I will try to do this in English" - proceeds to speak perfectly fluently. ah, the Dutch! god bless em!
Thanks bro
It's so cringe to listen to. Doesn't sound like English at all
@@jelle7 no it's not...
@@deviance7331 They mock our Flemish (Dutch) accent, but at least we are better at mimicking a real English accent.
This guy takes music to another level.
this sounds beautiful
This guy is a genius. Brilliant whistling.
i was just thinking "i could keep up with this" until he started really going.
Amazing lip flutist. Just beautiful! Never heard a more talented whistler! Bravo!
ok now do thru the fire and flames expert mode
deltafox399j *intense whistling*
Except he probably can 😆
Hahahahha
Those lips are insured for 3.45 Million Euros, and he is allowed to only kiss another person on the cheek.
@SHIELDGG nah of course not, tis is a joke
r/suspiciouslyspecific
why do some people find whistling annoying? i don't get it?
It's annoying when people do it out in public
U know people and my school say to me ‘’stop whistling it’s so annoying’’ ‘’UGH SHUT UP!’’ I totally agree with u
@@nomdeplume7612 Well just don't do it where its annoyance is obvious
It’s very high-pitched, and that bothers some people.
It's a genetic thing, higher pitched tones are similar to a baby's crying
when you try to whistle after the video 😂
The whistling is great...but who the hell needs a wristwatch that survives a depth of -35000 feet ?!
Ahhh now we know #MH370
Someone from middle earth of course
This guy gives a lot of flutists a run for there money... He sounds like a frickin' piccolo!
Seriously, especially with the fast note changes you can hear that... sound; I can't describe it.
You know, he really does like someone who would be a world champion at whistling.
You can tell it was recorded in europe - no whooping and whistling from the audience.
+Paul Murray seems like the respectful thing to do. then again, i'm biased as one of those 'europeans'.
+Quinten Sarn I'm American and i find whooping and yelling to be really annoying.. Especially if there's good music going on
Thank Christ I don't have to share a country with you, dude.
+Paul Murray Yep, enjoy your wooden shoes.
J.R. W what a strange comment, since when do australians wear wooden shoes?
What am I doing with my life
Imagine going to a music concert and he is there, best cheering ever.
If the Germanic tribes had him along in the woods when they snuck up on the Roman legions, to freak them out, it would have been over in 5 minutes.
This classicist loves this comment... *dorky grin*
Bows humbly
I'm setting this as my alarm tone.
how do you record it ?
JohnnyBotz F
There's lots of free CZcams to MP3 sites. Usually just have to enter the video URL.
acronus thanks I appreciate it
*ladies swoon*
I love it! My Mom could whistle, but her special talent was that she could warble - I loved it and I would give anything to hear her again 💞
How is this coming out of his mouth!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
when a reply has more likes than a comment.
Incredible whistling!!!!! Now THAT'S talent!!!
Amazing and unbelievable!!! Wonderful to listen to..............it's easy to visualize little birds singing listening to him!!!
I think in a few years i will be like him. I am like the only kid in my school who seriously whistles since the 40s
Wow,
Talk about having the perfect look for the chosen art form, and visa versa.
you haven't lived if u haven't watched professional whistling at 1:37 am on Halloween lol
It's 1:54 a.m. . . . 2yrs later.
These are dark times.
For a second I thought his goatee was his lip sagging from whistling over the years lol
Ryann me too lmfao
LoL
I too thought like that
Whistling over the years will make your lip muscles stronger and tighter, not saggy
Damn, it's hard to keep the same tone whistling in as whistling out. This guy's good!
wtf was with the Rolex watch story
And here I sit not even able to whistle..
It does indeed.
I didn't know how to properly whistle until after I got to college. Just took a lot of practice and patience!
just put your lips together and blow.
Calvin Lee are you okay
Legend X i don't really know. probably not.
thank you for your concern though.
you're nice.
My birds started singing with him this is beautiful
a minute and a half in I realised I had forgotten to take a breath
I can burp my ABC's
czcams.com/video/4Ma16ZJr1Sc/video.html
I can count to potato
I can nuke stuff
@@DustinDawind DUDE I ALMOST FUCKING DIED WATCHING THAT.......
try to fart them
This video always makes me smile
Absolutely incredibly beautiful.
I knew a guy, WHO could almost whistle like this. It was awesome.
Siempre me he considerado muy bueno silbando, pero este señor, este está nivel Dios
its fun and joy to hear whistling music
imagine 100 of this guy whistling at the same time in a group
I immediately imagined them covering ride of the valkyries
Acho que, nem se eu voltasse a esse mundo como um pássaro, eu conseguiria assobiar com essa capacidade👏👏👏👏👏👏
it's like beatboxing old schooler
I'm going mad with his whistling, it's so enchanting! So mesmerizing! Hypnotic!
That is just as amazing as a superb singing voice. I used to whistle as a child when living with my lovely grandparenets but my grandad didn't like it & told me off for whisteling. I loved him dearly though, he loved us more than our own dad, he just didn't like whisteling! :o)
What an amazing voice, but an even better whistle
Amazing ability !!
What a delight. I just got the biggest smile.
Whistling is a magical skill that I just don't have! Trying to hit the same note, on-pitch, multiple times just escapes me. The whistler I listen to the most is Roger Whittaker who also plays guitar and sings. He is an artist that both my mother and I enjoyed while I was growing up. 🎶
There were two guys in class. The one who studied all day and night and did everything he could to succeed. Then there was the guy who just whistled away and did nothing. Good choice whistler!
omg that is talent. he has made his whistle into a classical instrument.
Thanks so much for this. Made me feel happy!
Can he play flight of the bumblebee?
H N Q that would be nice
No, but I hear he can whistle "The bum of the flighty bee" !
He can whistle it 10x faster
Sike
This guy is second rate to the masterful and BEST. Roger Whittaker.!
Wow I wish I could whistle that high. Amazing
So glad I started my day off by watching this video
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. This is the Pro of whistling. He makes it fun to be on earth. Nice Job.
This guy is nuts, so clean. I am a pretty decent (and annoying/penetrant) hobby whistler, too. If playing this video at 0.75 speed, that would be kind of my skill level. Actually I can do faster things too but my "voice" will break here and there and it will not be as clean as from this guy's golden mouth. He really is on another level. I am jealous of his very high notes, like the last note of his first song, at 2:18. I cannot do these, only sometimes when I am whistling very loudly
Dude, I am a beginner but this piccolo-like whist just stuns and shocks me out!
So I'd love to ask you a few questions, as a beginner in whistling!
Do you have any advices to "newbies" like me? Maybe any techniques or practicing methods.. also i can barely switch between pitches, and my whistle sounds noisy and unclear, idk how to fix that, maybe it's a practicing thing...
Wwell, the most intetesting thing afterall, is how long did it take for you to be good at whistling?
@@mark_hoik2нету
he's a fabulous birdie
Wow this is so amazing!
That was so much fun. Great job.
I wish I could whistle that good!!!
I like TED Talks
wow that is amazing!!
I know!!! I think whistling is awesome!
Same!
this is right up your alley (also i did like the horn on saturday)
He probably loved the beginning of the Andy Griffith show
just amazing!
Thank you for your whistling.
the whistles in the crowd sound like baby birds
Don't say "Blow me" to this guy. Or maybe do.
I WAS listening to Roger Whittaker's FINNISH WHISTLER. But now, I am totally gobsmacked. My cheek muscles ache just listening to him!
This is so great to see and listen to, my derar whistling friend! Tormod in Norway.
Coincidentally, chat roulette was named after this guy.
Geert is a unbelievable whistler and a wonderful musician. If you like him then I suggest you watch this great documentary on him that was posted by CZcams user Jasper ten Berge. You can search "Geert Chatrou Part 1" in the youtube search bar.
Amazing!!!! I enjoyed your performance SO much! I love "hidden" talents. :)
This guy is phenomenal!
Haha. "Whistling is deviant behaviour... I whistled at a Christmas party". You naughty, naughty boy.
Still better than Justin Bieber.
You're right.
Kim Jong Un Dumbest comment i've seen to date.
Kim what are you doing watching this video? I thought you never stopped torturing and executing people.
Raymond Nazimek This is my hobby
Oh. Maybe you should make videos too. Do you play an instrument? Or do you dance? Please no beheading videos though. We're so over it. That was way last century.
Gee, I have no words! Amazing!
I used to be pretty good at whistling. Then I got braces and It just didn't work anymore. After a year I still have them but I can whistle a little now. I love whistling! x-x
