It's back!
Our favourite show ever!
Britain's Got Talent!
That's right. It's back.
It's not something classical musicians usually follow,
but as you all know, on our channel we like to-
Reveal the truth and speak honesty.
Yes.
So we got a few clips today that we're gonna watch together.
Let's hope humanity has-
Let's hope humanity has progressed.
Yes.
What was that?
- I feel like just got stabbed in the eyes. - Yeah.
But what I saw was just pixels.
Dude, that's two seconds in.
Oh man.
How fabulous!
Oh wait, that was like a little prequel.
- Oh... - Yeah...
So now I'm curious like...
But we didn't see the instrument, right?
Well, it's an opera singer.
Oh, that's true.
Duh.
We didn't see the instrument.
OHH...!!
He didn't strip enough, guys.
Cutting a highlight and putting it in the front
is a very common technique
- when they feel like they need to capture your attention. - Yeah.
So basically, they're saying...
"That's the type of audience we have."
"Gotta show the strip in the very first second."
It's opera! It's opera! It's opera! It's opera!
It's opera!
It's opera! It's opera!
Dude, like...
- Why they- - I've never seen that EVER...
- ...in my life. - You don't go to a concert...
"It's Bach! It's Bach! It's a violin!"
Just ******* grab your friend.
- BRO! You don't understand! - It's opera!
Dude, I wanna watch that again.
It's opera! It's opera! It's opera!
- You don't even know! - All that- That's just- he's in a suit.
They just assumed it's opera 'cause he's in a suit.
No, he assumed it's opera
because he was told to say that line.
OH...!!
We should play a game called...
"See if we can find the lapel mic
that's on them to capture the audio"
- Yeah, yeah. - Because it's clearly planted.
Why would you scream at that?
Alright.
"Everyone in the audience,"
"the moment he takes off his first item of clothing,"
"I want you all to cheer."
Hey, my name is Brett.
WHOOAHHH!!!
Dude, what is with that obsession with stripping?!
Every year!
By now, this dude.
He's probably over it.
He's probably seen
- 50,000 stripping performances by now, right? - Yeah, he's probably like...
- Mm... - "Just, just think of the money."
Yeah, think of the money. Just...
Who even watches this anymore, man?
I mean, look at the views.
There's actually talented people out there
that deserve the attention.
Yeah, like, why can't they just have an opera singer?
Just have an opera singer sing!
I know why.
Because actual good opera singers
aren't going on the show.
OH...!!
The actual talented people are like...
Don't get me wrong, like,
being a Pilates instructor, and you can sing.
Good for you.
But,
the fact that this- so many people watch this,
it just blows my mind.
Don't judge.
Don't judge!
Take it off, buddy!
Oh my god.
Dude, they're such bad actors, too.
It's the same two be like...
"Take it off, buddy!"
Maybe like the script writer is like...
"Say 'take it off, buddy.'"
Yeah, and he was like
"Take it off, buddy."
It feels really forced.
I don't know about you guys watching.
It was very forced.
Audience: Stop it!
Ben Noir!
What are we doing with our lives again, Brett?
Why do we exist?
- It's times like this I feel like... - Dude, it's like...
the very act of existing...
is pain.
It's like every one of my body cells is just like...
Why?
You really thought he did something, too, like...
- take it off on a high note. - Yeah.
So far, his singing hasn't really offended me at all.
But I haven't... really like... paid attention to it.
- No one is paying attention to it! - No one has- yeah...
They are looking at the stripping anyway.
I'm gonna call it out.
It's basically saying stripping on stage gets views,
- Yeah. - But it's a bit too out there,
so we're gonna distract them with talent.
Let's just dumb it down.
'Cause no one's listening!
- No one's really listening. - Everyone's just watching him take it off.
Yeah, 'cause you can't listen
- while you're cheering over the opera singer. - Exactly!
Imagine you're playing Bach,
everyone's like "WOO! WAH!"
It's like "guys, I wanna hear the singer."
Dude, that guy is just like...
He sees the producer, director in the corner like...
and he was like...
It's alright. We get it.
- It's a job. - We get it. It's just a job.
Good on you!
A M A Z I N G !!
Dude, his pecs are staring right at me.
I can see why they stripped instead.
I totally forgot about the singing.
- I know. - I'm just looking at his, like, pointy-
Dude, I swear they look back at you, man.
- They're looking- - Yeah, they're looking back at you like...
"I'M HERE!"
- Two talent right here. - Oh, that was the big reveal!
- "Opera with a big reveal!" - Yeah!
Hutcha!!
How fabulous!
I'm impressed at who designed those pants.
- Yeah, you can just rip it off. - Yeah.
I just love the reactions, right?
"Oh, I gotta look shocked."
Like minimal effort.
I can relate to the people that think it's shocking, so...
And then this guy's...
How fabulous!
HOW FABULOUS!
That is what you say when you know you have nothing to say.
HoW fAbUlOuS!
What does that mean?
Of course Simon is the one that buzzes.
- Yeah, he has to. Yeah, he has to play the mean- - 'Cause he has to play that character, right?
He did the same thing in the other one...
- He did. Yeah, oh, the fl- oh my god! - where the flut- flautist stripped.
Don't remind me of that one. Oh my god...
Dude, this is getting very...
I gotta say that
at least this guy's more in tune than that flute player.
- He was. - That flute player was so out of tune!
- Yeah... Yeah! - I can still hear it. Like a quarter half tone.
I mean I get it.
- I mean I guess it's- - I get what they're going for.
Like, he's showing how he has a vocal range.
He can shift between guy and girl.
I'd rather just... actual talent.
Okay.
Um.
Opera singers, what do you guys think?
Well, I could see why he had to strip now.
Yeah ha ha ha!
Aw... Listen to him!
- I love the glass sound effect that they added in. - Glass. Yeah.
- Singing-wise, not the best but not the worst. - I don't know.
Like he missed a few notes.
Actually I'm curious what opera singers think.
I'm not a fan of the stripping.
- Yeah... - They're trying to make it more forgivable
because they had the whole cross-dressing aspect
- as a narrative. - Yeah.
I will say that's pretty clever.
- They've gotten a little bit more sophisticated. - Like, they've added-
They've added like 5% more intelligence.
Yes.
We are progressing!
- We are progressing. - 1%.
- Maybe next time just, just skip the stripping altogether. - Yeah.
Just a thought.
- Guys- - Ling Ling, please protect our eyes from next video.
We haven't seen this one,
but let's just start it.
Oh, they just cut straight into it!
He's a lecturer!
It sounds good. It sounds good.
Yeah, it sounds good.
- But why do I feel like something bad is gonna happen? - Sounds good. Yeah, I feel like...
- something's gonna ruin it for me. It's like... - Yeah!
Dude! It's good!
They all follow the same plotline.
Start... normal classical,
- and then some weird thing's gonna happen. - Isn't classical music enough?
Haven't we, TwoSet Violin
and you TwoSetters out there,
established that classical music is cool?
We are cool!
- Dude, he missed it! - He missed!
- Ha ha! He missed it, like- - He's like "Oh-oh sh-"
He's like...
Glasses off...
"Oh! Okay!"
Dude, did he just get worse?
Yeah, he played wrong notes.
He played a freaking G natural.
- Yeah. - And it's out of time.
- And the piano is out of tune with the backing track. - Yeah.
He messed up!
G. It's meant to be an A.
Start of Sibelius.
Simp Sibelius! FYI, 3 mil subs!
Okay, that's it.
Out of time. Rhythm, bro.
Dude, you can't mess up that bad.
You can't play...
...so perfectly, and then fail to play...
Actually, the quality is different.
- Sounds different, right? - The sound quality is very different!
It's a bit suspicious.
If you listen really closely- I mean...
I'm not an audio engineer,
but if you listen to how polished the sound is here...
and then you listen to...
This one sounds more like a Honky-Tonk.
The other one is definitely edited or something.
- It felt like a bit more reverb. - Yeah.
And also, if you listen to his arpeggio,
- he's not playing even. - It's not even.
- The other one was- Yeah. - The other one was so even!
What about his pedaling?
OH... BUSTED!!
He's not pedaling!
The pedal would have changed within that.
You would not be holding down the pedal for the whole thing.
- Did he hold it? - The pedal would've- Yeah, he's holding-
Look, look.
And then he changes.
When he pressed it, the quality doesn't change!
Look!
Eddy's got his feet on the pedal,
and he's playing now, right?
Eddy: That's what it would sound like. Brett: Yep.
Brett: That's no pedal. Eddy: I mean it's a little bit.
Every pianist knows.
- You gotta be doing something. - Yeah, you can't just hold it down.
You can't just hold it down for a whole bar of semiquavers.
And piano gang, please comment below.
What do you guys think?
Dude, was that mashing the keyboard?
- He mashing! He be mashing! - He's like...
Oh my god.
That was the most sacrilegious thing.
Off with the bowtie!
Oh no, he's stripping as well!
He took- OH!
He's trying to take it all off.
I think he messed it up.
'Cause he was like this, and he ripped it off.
The clothes is designed to strip.
- Yeah, he messed it up! - Yeah, yeah!
Oh look, it's the same reaction.
Yeah.
Copy-paste?
Copy-paste, yeah.
- Control C, control V. - Very effective formula.
This is the most...
off-key, out-of-time thing.
I can't, I-
Where is the music? I, I'm...
My ears in all 20 years of musical education training
cannot figure out what he's doing.
But...
impressive biceps.
Oh look, it's Simon again!
They're literally copy-pasting.
I can imagine all the pianists out there...
the real Ling Ling wannabes out there practicing every day,
honing every single note,
making sure that pedal's working well,
just so we get this here.
Ah, he just gave up on the piano altogether.
He's like "Actually, I can't actually play,"
"but what I can do is take my pants off really quickly."
If you can strip slowly, you can strip quickly.
Bruh, bruh, bruh.
There's only one type of lecturer I know
that's so good at taking their pants off quickly.
The ones that end up in jail!
OH...!
Dude, imagine your teacher
that you get education from.
I mean, I don't know.
- Maybe he's just having fun. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Maybe- - Maybe this is some level of talent that is beyond my
narrow-minded classical thinking.
- Wow, he is really butchering that piano now. - He's really butchering it.
Nah, he's not even kicking over the piano stool,
but the way he's playing is...
Dude, that face.
"I should be smiling, but I'm in shock."
Oh, he did throw the piano stool.
- I take everything back. - You don't do that to the piano stool.
I was just like...
"Oh, you know at least he didn't throw the piano stool!"
And then he threw the piano stool.
Do you know how expensive that piano stool is?
Dude, these guys clearly have not seen our video.
Can someone that knows the producers at Got Talent
send them the video where we said...
"Do not throw piano stools."
R.I.P. piano stool. We're sorry.
Piano stools are important.
Dude, that's just so disrespectful.
...be honest with you.
Because I've seen this type of act a lot.
Where?!
Where did you see this?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHERE?!
- Literally every talent show! - Dude, look at the guy on the right.
His face is like...
Can I just say, I'm really glad we're on YouTube.
Most of the time, we can just say what we feel honestly.
To a much greater extent.
Yeah, I'm sure there are a lot of musicians out there
that feel the same.
The surprise is gone now!
"Surprise is gone."
But...
we all know the producer made this happen anyway.
If you don't want the same content,
stop getting the same contestants doing the same thing.
Why don't you actually let through
someone that actually can play piano?
I actually prefer the piano playing when your clothes were on.
That's 'cause it was a backing track.
No one can play the third movement of
Beethoven Moonlight Sonata properly,
and then not be able to play like...
- a basic arpeggio. - I know!
Like, chokes on arpeggios,
like, that's not possible.
Audience: What on earth?
He's not my cup of tea, that one.
You know-
Ugh... I don't know. I have to-
- My brain is... - It's like "you know very well what is happening."
Oh God. Anyway, guys!
I'm out.
I'm out. I think that's enough for today.
We gotta get back to practicing
'cause we all have to practice together.
