After 12 years, the way he just stares out at the crowd at the end still makes me smile. Dude knew he just changed lives, and that's the stare of a main protagonist.
It's so nice to read your lovely comments about my son, Chooka! Did you know he sings too? He has a song Stay In This Moment on his channel. Chookaparkertv
Haha, that's our son performing almost 10 years ago! He now sings, plays multiple instruments, creates videos and has written a symphony! Good on you son!!
Honestly theres something so profound about the transition and progression of this piece, its not even close to perfect but thats what makes it even better, its something you'll never hear from anyone else.
It starts off like an Australian outback cowboy western. Then it gets deep. Then it gets intense. Then it gets sad. Then he ended it on cheerful goofy happy feeling. He can definitely convey emotion in sound and take us all on a journey. I appreciate so much so musicians and actors and artists that can truly inspire such emotions of the observer.
There is pretty big difference between having musical talent and being a musical genius. Cause in case anyone didn't notice - this is genius. Don't waste your life, man, because human kind needs guys like you. I've never seen anyone communicate with me via piano so easily. Surreal.
Chooka, you said something extremely important that gives us a clue as to why you could be so brilliant. What almost no one realizes is that the electronics we are exposed to today produces harmful ions that harm every cell in our body. The ions actually repel the electrical minerals. This reduces our ATP energy production sixfold. The brain can't do what you do if that is happening. As an example, let's look at this from a different perspective. In the US over 200 years ago, the people went to war with England. Some of the soldiers were barefoot, yet they walked in the cold, windy rain and in the snow sometimes. Some soldiers carried on for months or years this way. They were able to do this because there were no cell towers lowering their ATP. Today, there is not one American who could do what was done as a matter of course 250 years ago. This is what happens when our energy is 1/6th of what it is supposed to be. To keep your talent, you will want to protect yourself with Bliss Disks and the Whirling Bliss Machine, especially since you are more likely to be in places where there are a lot more electronics. Full disclosure, I am the inventor the Machine. You are what can happen with the right attitude and the right ions.
Yes mostly people stucked with his level of playing an instrument but actually the important thing was how he constructing melodies im telling this as a pianist. This kid got raw composing talent i hope he can do something with it
This guy is still humble as pie. I follow him on fb and couldn't ask for a nicer guy still loves all his fans and still is tuning out awesome tunes on the piano Don't ever judge a book by its cover you don't know what they are going to bring out
you could sit here all day thinking about why someone disliked it but you got think of it. Theres like under 1 percent of the viewers who disliked it. So thats pretty good.
2:33 - 3:08 This section makes me zone out every time. To make up something like this on the fly.... no words. Mad respect and appreciation, seriously.
Still amazing after hearing all these years. The guy is a prodigy, doing that without any formal musical training. Chooka can easily could be the likes of Mozart, who had natural talent and Europe's best teachers since he was a toddler. His natural understanding of phrasing, musical singing, harmony, chords, colour, virtuosity is a God given gift.
I agree. I come back regularly to listen to this and after all the years this is still probably my favorite musical performances especially because it's all improvised. But I do think formal musical training is very overrated. Learning anything just requires passion and dedication and just "doing it" by yourself. A teacher can only show you something that you'd have figured out by yourself anyway. And if you're really obsessed learning something like Chooka, I bet a teacher would only be hindrance. Like imagine someone is really passionate about figuring out something, and when you try to show them how it's done, they push you away like "sshh! I got this!"
Jimmy Hendriks couldn't read notes, took a right hand strat and just turned it around and made the guitar sound like even Leo Fender didn't knew it was possible!
I'm not exaggerating when I say I've seen this video well over 200 times over the years and it has given me goosebumps every single time without fail! And, of course, his amazing Aussie demeanour has made me laugh with a smile from ear to ear every time as well!
i don't understand why people say he's not a good player because he doesn't play like a classically trained pianist. This is something entirely new and amazing. Bravo sir! one of the most phenomenal performances I've had the privilege to listen to .
It's been two years now since I watched this video. I still love it. What caught me the most was not the music but the simple personality of the musician. And by simple I mean plain and clear. There is no surprise that this lovely music reflects the brightness inside a person. Way to go, Chooka! Cheers from Russia!
Dear god I have NEVER been so encapsulated by a musical performance before. I've never experienced the kind of feelings I did listening to that. Chooka you are so raw that I truly felt it, i felt your music. It was almost tangible. I could feel it in my skin and my muscles in a way I've never felt before. I hope you see this Chooka, you've touched me.

From Hungary, hi! Hard to find words Chooka, I dont think I will be able to cut the grass tomorrow without listening to this masterpiece at least one more time. Iam just speechless. Thanks for that man.
Glad to be back for my perhaps 100.000th listening/viewing in eight years. I've never wanted to be in an audience so much in my life. Still, after all this time, no one holds a candle to this performance. You are amazing Chooka. I'm so happy your talent has reached so many people, especially me!
When I saw your audition , i couldn't believe it at first ! .. you are serously wayyyyyyys too talented. Hopefully , you came to Got Talent , to share that incredible gift of yours! Big LUV from Québec, Canada !
I sure hope that this amazingly talented man has been discovered by someone. By this, I mean getting paid. He is a rare find. I could listen to this guy all day. Keeping my fingers crossed that he got his houseboat and is floating down a river playing his piano. If anyone deserves to have their dream come true, it's this humble man.
Thanks for your kind comment! I am still doing things on my own and one day hope to get that houseboat, but not for now. I'm actually recording in Hong Kong atm, but have already released CD's and singles independently. Cheers, Chooka chookaparkermusic.com/
Thanks for that :) Not at this stage, still doing it on my own, so maybe one day! Visit my YT for loads more and Facebook more current updates! ruclips.net/channel/UCsvWpadt57VvoOhGSnRyyKA Chooka PS You can also subscribe to my website.
This young man may look older than he is for good reason. Like a lot of young people who veg out on the internet in their bedrooms eating junk food, he works hard on his parent's farm. In other words....he is very responsible and very mature. And he gets it!
I don't know how anyone is fooled by that moustache, it's the typical teenage moustache although his isn't quite as scraggly as most. I could definitely tell he was a teenager although I thought about 17, even with the slight voice break.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I have done dozens of music videos on my YT channel. Released CD's and singles and still performing after the show in 2011 :) Here's one example~ ruclips.net/video/fD7576yTe80/видео.html&google_comment_id=z13hvlzj4tbgz3fir04cgdvr2ozajrv5boo0k&google_view_type Cheers, Chooka

Just saw this for the first time yesterday here in the UK and loved it, incredible. So looking forward to exploring omore of Chooka's music, hope all his dreams come true.
The coolest thing about his perfomance is that he chooses keep imrovising and not prolonging those amazing moments like in 2:52. If he wants he can prolonge those chilling moments and become a star.
Cheers mate! I've recorded lots of different styles and released albums and singles. I'm also about to release my studio version of this song :) Chooka
Chooka i've got to say that you are unique. Ive seen this video at least 20+ times and i still cant get enough and this song is always on my head. keep up the good work.
The look on their face when he said 'I am going to make it up on the spot'!! They claim that they are musicians too, If they were musicians they would know what improvisation is and as always Great job Chooka!
You know chooka I always keep coming back to view this.. you blew me away the night I seen this and it still blows me away every time I view it now. I have toyed around with many musical instruments and never could follow reading music, But playing by ear and making up your own music was very rewarding for me. I was no where near as good as you but was proud. I could only imagine how much you must shine within yourself knowing how much you can touch everyone from around the world with your music. I have read endless comments regarding your videos many from around the world that think you are amazing. Simply you are mate because as you would know when you hear something that moves you..you can't speak, move, control emotions and that my friend you do very well. Keep feeding the keys you soul brother it sounds wonderful.
Dean larose Thanks Dean, I appreciate your comment and clearly your support! It's all about enjoying what you do, not being better than anyone else to be honest. Please visit my channel, if you haven't already so you can enjoy the 85 videos there :) I've recorded this song to go with a biography that's in the pipeline (double album included), so follow me on Facebook and YT to see what I'm up to! Thanks, Chooka chookaparkermusic.com/
Chooka Parker Chooka I would like to say thank you. I am so glad I saw your videos on RUclips. The first time I saw this video I was blown away. I have watched this video and your Grand Final performance more times than I can count and think it is simply amazing. Your music is very uplifting =) Thank you very much. Regards, Curtis
I'd like to be sure that the real Chooka's talking to me... if you can send me a photo for you with my name in a paper to "hrechmail@gmail.com ". I will be really glad with it Chooooooka
His Mum and Dad must be so proud, he is remarkable. Will never understand how this sort of talent comes out in individuals , baffling ! to see it first hand in one of your on kids is even more baffling . They hear, they play , just like we look at a clock and open the front door and off to work.
He's the type of genius that would be able to make great money making background music for various things. Maybe it's just his outfit, but I could see the song he's playing being put to a comedic saloon brawl in an American Western movie. It's almost as if the scenes paint themselves in my head as he's playing.
To this day, this is one of the best! A complete improv on A minor and you still made it up on the spot! In my opinion, still one of the god damn best!
CptKickass Thanks mate! Glad you were there, you would have heard the full version then :) I'm about to release this song along with a book project soon. I've also released albums and singles with more on the way, written for documentaries, websites and hope to write for film! Find me on Facebook~ ChookaParkerMusic to keep updated :) Many more video on my RUclips channel (ChookaParkerChannel) Cheers, Chooka
Such a cutie pie! Seems to be such a good hearted person and his heart shows in the gift he has. Awesomeness! God bless you Chooka!!! Love that name by the way. 😉

Great to hear! Yes, I do and I have over 60 videos there. Most are my originals, and some collaborations with a singer. You can find my links on my Google + page or else google chookaparkermusic . com Cheers, Chooka Follow me on Facebook too :)
That's reeallyy impressive!! WOOW!.. I've never heard sb playing piano so emotional (I'm not in any sense professional I just have my own sensitivity), it really makes my eyes wet.. Now that's a kind of magic. Just great..
One of the most amazing i've ever seen.The sound was like happy and also sad.I don't know how to explain but it was beautiful. I watch lots of movies and tv series.This piano song came to me like really great 3 hours movie with like a lot of sad things but with happy ending. (sorry for my english i couldnt explain what i feel.)I'm sorry for watching this really late. Keep it up mate. Respect from Turkey.
this is one of the most talented people to ever appear on these talent shows all over the wold. as performer, songwriter and musician. truly raw maestro talent. plus he's a great guy.
After nearly 12 years and dozens of talent shows saturating the airwaves, this audition is STILL the best of the very best.
After 12 years, the way he just stares out at the crowd at the end still makes me smile. Dude knew he just changed lives, and that's the stare of a main protagonist.
Could not agree more ❤️
12 years later and I still get chills hearing this. I'm an improv musician and a music junkie and there is nothing else like what Chooka did here.
Still one of my absolute all time favorites. Come back every year lmao

I've spoken to him a few times - honestly, one of the most humble, down to Earth man.
Me too!! He's a nice young man.
I still get shivers when i listen to him play, its so amazing
Dear god I have NEVER been so encapsulated by a musical performance before. I've never experienced the kind of feelings I did listening to that.

Here in December 2019 and this video never gets old. I love it as much now as the first time I watched him over 8 years ago.
What is great about him. Is that he hasn’t been molested by current media, marketing or other major influences. This is “raw” talent at its best.
From Hungary, hi! Hard to find words Chooka, I dont think I will be able to cut the grass tomorrow without listening to this masterpiece at least one more time. Iam just speechless. Thanks for that man.
favorite. audition. ever.
Back in 2016 chooka and still loving this amazing moment...
That first bit with the judges was the most Australian conversation in all of history
Glad to be back for my perhaps 100.000th listening/viewing in eight years. I've never wanted to be in an audience so much in my life. Still, after all this time, no one holds a candle to this performance. You are amazing Chooka. I'm so happy your talent has reached so many people, especially me!
I watched this years ago but just thought of it again and had to listen again. Don't know much about music but this was amazing.
To be able to craft music on the spot like that AND have it be coherent and not just random notes is absolutely unimaginable...wow
Spectacular and talented af great job representing our Aussie talent.

I have toyed around with many musical instruments and never could follow reading music, But playing by ear and making up your own music was very rewarding for me. I was no where near as good as you but was proud. I could only imagine how much you must shine within yourself knowing how much you can touch everyone from around the world with your music. I have read endless comments regarding your videos many from around the world that think you are amazing. Simply you are mate because as you would know when you hear something that moves you..you can't speak, move, control emotions and that my friend you do very well. Keep feeding the keys you soul brother it sounds wonderful.
Dean larose Thanks Dean, I appreciate your comment and clearly your support! It's all about enjoying what you do, not being better than anyone else to be honest. Please visit my channel, if you haven't already so you can enjoy the 85 videos there :) I've recorded this song to go with a biography that's in the pipeline (double album included), so follow me on Facebook and YT to see what I'm up to! Thanks, Chooka chookaparkermusic.com/

Chooka I would like to say thank you. I am so glad I saw your videos on RUclips. The first time I saw this video I was blown away. I have watched this video and your Grand Final performance more times than I can count and think it is simply amazing. Your music is very uplifting =)
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Curtis

I'd like to be sure that the real Chooka's talking to me... if you can send me a photo for you with my name in a paper to "hrechmail@gmail.com ". I will be really glad with it Chooooooka
yassine el-hrech Finally found this post again...will do!
yassine el-hrech Thanks for your post on my Facebook page!
His Mum and Dad must be so proud, he is remarkable. Will never understand how this sort of talent comes out in individuals , baffling ! to see it first hand in one of your on kids is even more baffling . They hear, they play , just like we look at a clock and open the front door and off to work.
Cheer's from Serbia bro,you r amazing!Keep going like that! Peace
2:35 is one of the most beautiful pieces I ever heard
Dimitri Soto Thanks Dimitri :)
if i listen to that part, it somehow reminds me of tracks from clint mansel, like fountain sountrack or others, check it out maybe you like it.
gras gruen Okay, will do!
Chooka Parker You're awesome man. :)
***** Thanks for that!
He's the type of genius that would be able to make great money making background music for various things. Maybe it's just his outfit, but I could see the song he's playing being put to a comedic saloon brawl in an American Western movie. It's almost as if the scenes paint themselves in my head as he's playing.
Thanks for the compliment!
Best audition ever, ever, ever.........🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Damn, that was impressive!
To this day, this is one of the best! A complete improv on A minor and you still made it up on the spot! In my opinion, still one of the god damn best!
Thanks mate!

Maybe i'll listen to you live someday! hope so! this is awersome !!
