  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Accent the like button,

  • and legato the subscribe button.

  • I'm not judging. Don't judge.

It's back!
