    Jacob Collier is there too, and you definitely need to listen to his stuff. He’s arguably one of, if not the, most brilliant musician alive.

      The amazing thing to me is this understates Jacob's unique gifts and contributions to music theory. He might as well go straight to Collier's Moon River on the first listen!

    Nothing more needs to be said of these 2 absolute geniuses Cory Henry and Jacob Collier. Brilliance.
    The BBC Proms are a multi-week music festival in England, from chamber works up to full orchestral performances, covering many genres. The Metropole Orkest is an orchestra that specializes in these types of performances, kinda like a big band with strings. One of my favorites of Metropole at the Proms is this performance with Leo P on baritone saxophone, and Christian Scott on trumpet. Absolutely bonkers. Shows off their big band side. ruclips.net/video/BARAHLk-8dk/видео.html

    You talk about a life dedicated. You couldn’t be more correct. Cory Henry started playing the keys at 2 (I think?). There’s footage of him playing music in church, as part of the church band, at 4 years old. FOUR YEARS OLD. And not bullshit playing. Real playing. Improvising and stuff. At 4. Cory is unreal.
    And while he wasn’t the focus of this song, the other pianist playing, Jacob Collier (who yes, you did react to) is a musical prodigy, multi-instrumentalist, and so far ahead of seemingly everyone else compositionally. Just nuts.

    The BBC Proms is usually a classical music event that takes place in the Royal Albert Hall in London. They have hosted many great orchestras and soloists for decades. However, in recent years it has ended up being a kind of cultural hotpot as you can see here. The Proms used to take itself super seriously, as classical music demanded, but now it's so much more accessible to regular people who just enjoy music. They even did a Comedy Prom in 2011 which is definitely worth checking out, in your own time if not for a reaction.

    It is already requested before in your comments, but as fas as I know (excuse me if I'm wrong) it has never resulted to a MrLboyd reaction. And you will regret dying without knowing. At North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, the homeland of Metropole Orchestra (the same orchestra playing at the Billy Jean song). The Michael Jackson challenge for Cory Henry was to do a different interpretation of a MJ song, since MJ only wanted to reproduce the recorded verson playing live. Prince was the opposite: he never played a song the same twice. And after you've listedned, you know why I mention this difference.

    This is just my opinion. I believe they're certain songs that are so iconic and so attached to the original Artist they should never be sung by any other singer. Just like in sports when they retire a Jersey. Can you imagine an NBA player on the Chicago Bulls wearing Michael Jordan Jersey and number? No! because it's just too attached to Michael Jordan.
