Brad's story has blown me away and truly inspired me. He will compose music for film. Had me in tears. Tears of respect for him and his foster parents 🙏
Yeah his story, not his playing. On shows like this it's all about the story, not about technique and certainly not about musicality, but about how tragic the back story is. The truth is, this guy is below mediocre; he has no technique which means he will not evolve as a musician, it also means he can't properly express himself through the instrument. If you want to see an actual good young pianist, look up Yunchan lim.
Brad is amazing!! Had me in floods of tears. What a wonderful loving foster family he had. You can see how much they love each other. It’s very moving to watch. He has a fabulous future ahead of him. 😊
Well done Brad... You are truly inspirational. I hope you dont mind but i have sent your videos to some children in a very small remote village... Kokalia...Gujarat India. On my last visit there i gave them a piano. I now receive videos of them playing the piano which brings me great joy The world should be full of Brads!!! Every sucess and happiness What special people your foster parents are nurturing you and your talent and how you must be pleased you were able to thank them with such a wonderful piece of music. I hope my indian friends follow your footsteps.
❤❤❤ amazing talent. He sort of mind melds with the music and the piano. It as if that they are all one entity. The music flows through his veins into the piano into the stratosphere. Epic.
My father met his first cousin Martha after he was kicked out of foster care. She took him to the family she married into and my grandfather treated him more like a son than his own father ever did. My father married Martha's sister in law so a brother and sister married first cousins. My real paternal grandfather never gave my father a penny. But my maternal grandfather gave my father money for gas so they could come visit more often. My mother's family fed us when we visited but I don't ever remember eating anything at my father's biological father's house. We just visited for a hour and then left. My mother's father saved my father and he lived with them for 5 years and then he married my mother and they still lived there but in a different house on the same property. My maternal grandfather treated my father like he treated his own son's
This was my grandfather's mutant ability. He could naturally play both the piano and guitar. My mother said when she was a kid she asked him how was he able to do that. He's just replied, I see it and feel it.
@@theylied1776 I believed you. I didn’t choose my words properly. Some people have a natural talent and do not require much instruction to be proficient.
He's lucky to have loving foster parents that didn't kick him to the curb when the money stopped. My father and his brothers were in about 10 foster homes and they didn't tell the kids that they didn't want to be foster parents anymore. The taxi could only take 3 suitcases and 3 boys and the foster parents didn't pack toys just clothes and if they wanted to keep something from foster home to foster home they had to take the items to school everyday and back home. My father said that they would cry when they saw the taxi sitting outside of the foster home when they got home from school. They were all homeless as soon as they turned 18 because foster parents didn't get the money anymore and they didn't care about the kids just the money. They need orphanages to keep kids until they are 21-22 years old and older if they are working through college. The foster care kids are abused by the states. They need to fix the American foster care system
Nice. Impressive but...oh it's just a young guy with a good ear jumbling together some romantic piano music that he has heard into an incoherent mosaic.
And what's your point? Almost anyone could learn some famous composition to play but try by creating something unique so people could relate and react apart your stupid comment? Movie composers creating soundtrack that way by expressing own emotions into sound
Cringe commentators. Lang Lang is bad enough but the other guy is worse 🙄 The boy needs to relax his wrist especially the right hand. Just because he started at 14 is no excuse not to be able to learn to read music???
Good afternoon, I don't want to be viewed as a defender of Brad however I found your criticality a little strange given he has only ever looked at keyboards and never been shown "proper" technique. Tell that to Fosbury when he shattered records with "improper" technique. My point is that he is displaying prodigious learning abilities and shouldn't be shunned by the pseudo-intellectuals of the internet with their silly and pedantic views.
@@Liverpoolgolfgearwhy wouldn't you want to be seen as a defender. You're right to defend him against such a pompous, joyless, mean-spirited, unnecessary comment. The poster must have been weaned on pickled onions to be so sour
And you need to relax your thumbs. And just respect that you obviously have been playing piano all your life and your nowhere near his level George Harrison couldn't read music ,fun fact he done alright What songs have you wrote ciara 😂😂😂😂

I'm from the US, but listening to these makes me want to go back. I miss the UK so much. 🇬🇧
He puts such feelings into his music and the way he expresses himself.
Within 3 years this lad will be on our screens, producing a film score tune. ❤
May God Bless him & his foster parents. Another proof of " God will take care of you" you are great!❤

Congratulations to The Magnificent Seven, what a show. Well done to Brad for performance of the night.
This young man will go far! Truly inspiring performance. Well done, Brad 🎉
That was amazing, bless him!
The love of his foster parents and his own drive have propelled him to great things.
God has given him a wonderful talent

That’s a good story.
@@grioulaloula8594 Not a story, it's true. He was also clinically insane. He was the perfect example of the thin line between genius and madness.

@@grioulaloula8594 I apologize, it's me. I'm overprotective of my grandfather.
@@theylied1776 No worries! When I reread my comment, I realized that it could be taken as sarcastic.

Its so easy to take the wrong path and mess up a life..... Lads got heart and clearly a brain. Super example to all kids!
You are such an inspiration to all those that have not had it easy in life good luck in your life and career x
A prodigy
I'd like to hear him.play some classical pieces by traditional composers before i pass judgement ..
BRAD WHO????? why can't you name him???
Hey Lang Lang - have you met Evgeny Kissin?
Almost didnt make it there as was mistaken for a scally!
Subtitles please
Nice. Impressive but...oh it's just a young guy with a good ear jumbling together some romantic piano music that he has heard into an incoherent mosaic.
It's not that deep
@@vg6761that's what he's trying to allude to 😂. Couple of arpeggios. Gypsy scales etc
Lang Lang thinks otherwise.
