Amazing family, but I do wish the judges would stop saying that no one likes classical music, that people think it's boring etc. They really don't, there are loads of people who love and appreciate this kind of music.
+Kassie Stepanova - I agree! I blast ballet music in my car so much that every 3 years or so, I need new speakers. And as I drive past people, they start dancing to the music. Classical music is indeed loved!
I do my research and I'm glad I did🤗!! I'm here after watching the Royal Wedding and seeing the 19th year old cellist Sheku Kanneh-mason. Amazing musical genes...
Artistry at its finest. I have loved classical music all my life. I love all music. Judges who have opinions that no one likes classical - have no idea what they are talking about. It is loved by all ages, colors, and genders. This family should of won!
Everyone should applaud the hard work, support, talent, charisma of this family. Such talent is the result of a gift, but more importantly dedication & practice.
I was brought up to appreciate classical music . These kids are amazing. Little did they know then, that simon Sheku would end up playing for the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meaghan.
Cedric R that's right !!! The whole wide world knows of Sheku Kanneh Mason "Today!" I did not know of him!!!..... but I know him now!!! I will differently support him in his music as I spread the Word!!
Absolutely amazing gifted family...I look forward to what the future holds for you, young ones! Congrats to Mum & Dad for doing an incredible job of nurturing such talent.
Absolutely amazing. I'm a big fan of America's Got Talent and wish they had come to America to portray their talent. The young cellist was magnificent at the Royal Wedding. You made me proud. An amazing gifted and beautiful family. God bless all of you babies.
Wonderfully done. You young people are already on your way to greatness. Stay grounded, don't drift from family values or love of family; the business is selfish, will and can cause division in attempts to exploit your gift. Heads up. ⚘
Mason Pitman look at there ethnicity that mostly a reason that gets taken into play around the world most White people don't want blacks to win anything thing
these kid,s make you happy by listening to them,most classical musician,s are mean looking and miserable,but they are happy all the way through..love you guy.s looking for your cd...
There are many beautiful and handsome classical musicians... The record companies look for people with the whole package, talent, looks and intelligence
I find this thrilling. These young people are contributing to the arts which are still important to a society. Unfortunately in the United States, the arts are the first areas in the curriculum to be cut. Perhaps some school board members will hear this and be inspired to keep the arts in the curriculum.
And parents especially in African-American families would rather put their children in sports. They think that music is not an important subject and that their children cannot find success in it. The public schools in most large U.S. cities do cut orchestra programs. They are likely to keep band, because they are entertainment for football games (including majorettes, twerkers, I mean, dancers, flag squad, etc.). It has been an age-old thing that school officials cut orchestra from predominately black and Latinx schools, because they feel that it is a field for those students of European descent. They are so wrong, because there are a lot of African-American string players that are doing very well playing some of everywhere - television, music videos, concerts behind recording artists especially at awards shows (Grammys, etc.), playing as solo artists in all styles of music (jazz, hip-hop, R & B, rock, gospel, etc.) and so on. Soloists are creating their own market and are doing quite well. There is a youth orchestra in Africa called the Buskaid Soweto String Ensemble (they are on RUclips).
How this family didn't win is beyond me. They are amazing. They bring a freshness to Classical Music, too....not that I think it needs it, mind you. Love them.
I was classically trained and i've been following this fabulous family a long time now. My father was actually the Director Of Culture of Trinidad and Tobago. This is the music we absolutely adore. Yes I do play different genres but this is the foundation. I do not understand the terms some of the judges use regarding classical music. I've had very exciting times growing up playing first the violin in the orchestra and then switching to the viola. Every single one of us who played in the orchestra enjoyed it 100% I then got the opportunity to play with the Caracas Youth Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela which was very exciting and so much more. There's absolutely nothing boring about classical music.
What a bunch of ignorant judges saying "that kind of music" and saying, would be sad playing it. Ugh, Shows how uneducated they all are. I don't watch this show because I'm in the US and don't watch the American version either. I only came here today because of the Royal wedding and discovering Sheku from that and then his sister from seeing his other videos and then finding the whole family through RUclips.
Who would have guessed that Sheku would come out to win "The Young Professional Musician's Award for 2018". And he also played for Prince Harry's wedding and put goose bumps ALL OVER my body. What an awesome cellist, what an awesome young man! Hopefully he will have a pen on him at all times to sign the many contracts that will be given to him.
Richmond Punch Violinist - it does not matter how many views/likes/comments Kanneh-Masons get...they will be recognised very very soon by da right peoples! AND wot better recognition recently than being requested to play at Royal wedding of Prince Harry & Meghan on 19 May 2018!! Go Kanneh-Masons... an excellent job! 👏 👏 👏 👏
I am a fan of this extraordinary musical family since their apparition on BGT three years ago. Sheku's performance at the Royal Wedding 2018 has finally brought the recognition that all seven siblings of the Kanneh-Masons Family Orchestra so rightfully deserve . They are a joy to look at them performing and to listen to their music. To the parents of the clan.... BRAVO !! Best wishes from Canada.
I learned to play the violin as a young little black girl in 6th grade here in Texas. I'm not anywhere near this caliber but I do love to play and teach classical music and the violin. I love seeing people of color doing this; it is very inspiring!
Beautiful Phenomenal Worthy of winning it all A loving family filled with lovely talented people... That in itself is beyond any external winnings. Based on the performances I've seen, they are the winners of BGT. Amazing!
This is fabulous! Britain's Got Talent features things like this, while America's Got Talent features the guy that gets hit in the balls with random objects....
Abigail King there have been many talented musicians and magical acts that have won America's Got Talent! Great talent all over the world! No need to look down your nose and be pious.

+Kassie Stepanova "THAT kind of music." She couldn't even say "classical."
*****
I know, right?
+dogfaceboy47 That also got to me it felt like a hit to the head every time she said THAT
+Kassie Stepanova - I agree! I blast ballet music in my car so much that every 3 years or so, I need new speakers. And as I drive past people, they start dancing to the music. Classical music is indeed loved!
ikr me too
The Jacksons of Classical Music! Genius family!
"The Jacksons of Classical Music..." but with real talent and none of the perversion.
+sagahammer No disciplinarian slave-driving father either!

And yesterday with Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding, millions of people got to hear the young cellist playing! Congratulations to the whole family!
Everyone should applaud the hard work, support, talent, charisma of this family. Such talent is the result of a gift, but more importantly dedication & practice.
...and on 19th May 2018 Sheku played to a TV audience of nearly 2 Billion people worldwide. Just another day for this extraordinary family.
OMG! The Royal Wedding brought me hear. Can't believe there is a whole family of musical Kanneh-Masons! Cheers from Philadelphia, PA USA!

What a delight t learn that young Sheku is "one of a bunch" of super-talented musicians! Thanks for the post!
thanks to cbs sunday morning for introducing me to this gifted family.
Little did you know that your son would perform at the Royal Wedding.
This marvellous family was too brilliant for this public to win ? Great disappointment for me! :(
They have achieved a lot more since, winning a mainstream talent show is nothing to them now! Especially Sheku!
What a wonderful family. Fabulous parents❤️❤️👍👍
Amazing young people with amazing talents who have amazing parents! :) Thank you for sharing your talents with the world! :)
EXCELLENT Kanneh-Masons! Bravo Bravo Bravo!! 👏👏👏
Take back your words Papa Sheku, now you can say the Royal wedding is the greatest Sheku has done by far.... Well done !!!
Falling in love with this talented family of musicians... BRAVO!
Absolutely amazing. I'm a big fan of America's Got Talent and wish they had come to America to portray their talent. The young cellist was magnificent at the Royal Wedding. You made me proud. An amazing gifted and beautiful family. God bless all of you babies.
My heart just fills to overflowing watching this amazing family perform!
Wonderfully done. You young people are already on your way to greatness. Stay grounded, don't drift from family values or love of family; the business is selfish, will and can cause division in attempts to exploit your gift. Heads up. ⚘
Great family tradition and talent. The brother's exposure at the Royal Wedding will do much for their popularity one day.
Wow!! Brilliant, effortless, flawless. Great mix. Black magic. Black excellence! Love it!
This performance brings tears to the eye. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

This is talent! Their hard work in practice is going to pay off. And they look like they really enjoy it. I commend their parents.
The most incredibly talented family I'd never heard of until today-- the royal wedding.
I’m so happy we were introduced to this family after the Royal wedding. They deserve worldwide recognition. What beautiful and talented kids.
I would love to see them in concert!
Liz P they’re having a concert in Nottingham to which I’m probably going to and they go to a school which I put down as my second choice
You guys are so GOOD

Sadly, I'm afraid that is not likely to happen under the current administration.

Love ❤️ this family. You make classical music fun, trendy and books. Thank you Kanneh- Mason for this inspiration.

Classical music isn't boring. Think of it as the popular music of that time.
For me classic music is the music that I really enjoy
I learned to play the violin as a young little black girl in 6th grade here in Texas. I'm not anywhere near this caliber but I do love to play and teach classical music and the violin. I love seeing people of color doing this; it is very inspiring!
So much fun! Thanks guys for all your hard work!
Didn't make it to royal variety but still gotta perform for the royal family though!
Sheku had an even bigger audience at the royal wedding - biggest ever!
They are amazing. Now the youngest has joined in for a total of 7, ranging in age from 21 to 8. Awesome!
💕💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
What a lovely family! God bless you all 😇😇😇
Wow! God has showered this family with blessings and favor!
Fantastic! So talented!!!

*The Royal Wedding brought my soul here*
I love it too
oh my god they're so talented!!!
Wow, talented family! I believe the eldest child was asked to play at the upcoming royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan. Good for him!
Fanniumen I did not, but I'm sure he gave a spectacular performance. He is extremely talented after all
+Fanniumen They didn't win because they were too good.
It wasn't the oldest child. It was the cellist. He did an awesome job!
He’s not the eldest. Sheku is 3rd child
LOVE IT!!!!!
Wow! And Wow ! And yes, I am here because of the royal wedding.
