Jennifer Thomas ft. Armen ksajikian
Hey Jennifer, I was wondering if you could let me use your music in a video that I MIGHT upload on youtube. Nothing is certain but Im looking for music so that I wont have copyright issues. And listening to yours I was enchanted. It is so powerful... your playing and the cello. Please let me use it, I will give the best credit ! Answer me as soon as you can!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING
beautiful
JENNIFER IS MAGICAL!
everyday life cant be this elegant and beautiful so this is such a treat
Having met Jennifer I can tell you she is a beautiful lady inside and out with great family support.
Jennifer, your music helps me more than you could ever know. Thanks to getting hit by a car 3 sperate times (none my fault and last was hit and run and left for dead) now 26 surgeries I suffer with severe pain 24/7. I go to bed in pain, get woke up in the night in pain and wake up in pain. Threw the day becomes worse and that is where your music comes into play . I use music to distract my mind to put the attention on the music and not on the pain as much. Also lye in bed relaxing to music and do self hypnosis and let my mind go on a journey and leave my pain riddled body behind. When I wake up I am in less pain.
I'm so sorry for your pain, and I'm glad that my music is of some help to alleviate some of that for you. Sending all my best.
I discovered this vidoe four yrs ago. I fell in love with your arrangement. I have just watched it again, (1/30/2023), all the way through. The entire time I kept saying to myself how stunning you looked. I thought so four years ago and I still think so today. We all deal with self-doubt at times, but this video never even gave off that vibe. Thanks you for being so open with us and for sharing your gift.🤩🤩
Really really appreciate you saying this!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️ Thank you.
I found you many years ago on Pandora. I found your confession very touching and ironic. It is perfectly clear to those of us "with eyes to see" that you have grown in grace and beauty. Thank you for your music and your heart.
I LOVE this song from Beauty and the Beast, and you made it even better! Amazing work! And your yellow dress is stunning. You and your music are beautiful!! I love the cello...you two make a wonderful duo.
That prologue gives me chills every time
Jennifer (after listening to what you said at the end): Let your inner light shine. 🌟🤩⭐🌠💫
And just so you know. There are actually not very many people as beautiful as you are on the outside. But true inner beauty is much more important. It's who you are that counts.
And I hope all the children in your family (including nieces) are learning the same thing. ^___^
Good job. Nice work. 😍 🌟🤩⭐🌠💫
That's so kind of you, thank you for taking the time to write this, and for your kindness. ❤️❤️
My wife couldn't find a wedding dress and the custom fitted dress fell through the day before our wedding. But my beautiful wife had a gown that she didn't ever dream would be a wedding dress. She wore it on a cruise of our first kiss, beat that! It was beyond awesome and she's still awesome today. Is she a supermodel? Thank God no. She's perfect for me and I'm perfect for her. Love much and laugh often, together. It doesn't come naturally. You have to work and fight for it. Hold on to what you love with respect and honor. He/She will hold on right back.
I thought at first Jennifer was performing at The Fox in Atlanta where I had the pleasure of interviewing Izak Pearlman who is also one of the great cello players. I think Jennifer has also played with Tina Quo whom I also love.
What’s inside your heart is so beautiful. Thank you for your vulnerability and strength
This arrangement really demonstrates love and respect for the music and the spirit of the film. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, thank you for this.
Thank you so much Nicola - that means a lot coming from a B&TB purist such as yourself! :)
I love the Beauty and the Beast intro!!
Beautiful rendition, love this. Greetings from Zimbabwe. Have subscribed :)
so beautiful and awe-inspiring! You are an amazing talent and we are all inspired!
This is a beautiful arrangement, and you are a beautiful daughter of God! making beautiful music.
This is my favorite Disney movie of all time. Thank you for doing it justice. This was stunning
Aw thank you very much! I appreciate that. - JT

So perfect to listen to and so beautiful to watch
もっと伸びてほしい.....！👏
Incredible !! there’s just no other words. ❤️
Thank you so much!
WOW!!! This is my introduction to Jennifer Thomas and I’m so glad I found this video. The cover piano and cello arrangement is just so beautiful that it is beyond words!! And the video is just outstanding!! I’m addicted to it, and I’d like to say I’ve been driving up the views, but I see it already has so many and for very good reason. I love the back story that Jennifer provides at the end, and I do think it is helpful to many. Her inner beauty and talent really do shine through giving the world an absolutely beautiful person on the outside as well. Artists like Jennifer enrich lives and make the world a brighter place, and Jennifer, thank you so much for that and for sharing your talents!
Hi Tony! Thank you so much for this very kind comment! I really appreciate you taking the time and your words really mean a lot. I saw that you also became my patron on Patreon and that means a lot too! Thank you so much! Excited to have you in my little inner circle! ❤️
This is an absolute masterpiece. It’s like taking the original beauty of the score and pushing it to the absolute extreme. Wonderful job on this, you are both incredibly talented and am glad I got to hear your rendition of the song
Aw wow, thank you!! The prologue to the theme of Beauty and the Beast is actually my favorite part of the entire score so yeah I just wanted to take that snippet part of it and really amp it up. So glad you loved it!
Les mando toda mi gratitud i esplendida alegría me siento plasentero lleno de infinita felizidad al escuchar tan espléndidas musica que cautiva en todo su esplendor y me llena de dicha e increíble felisidad divina
Exquisite and magnificent!!!
Amazing!!!!!! 😍😍😍 Just perfect in every aspect!
Wonderfull!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🥰🇧🇷
Absolutely stunning! 😍🎶
Instant chills. Fantastic!
Just wow! When the music started I was instantly transported to this beautiful world you've made - the piano is incredible! I hope there are plans for sheets - I would love to play this arrangement. ❤ AMAZING work, Jennifer!
You are beautiful and your talent is wonderful and you are loved. That is all that you need to believe. 💖
Wow. That was amazing. Powerful, beautiful and haunting. Seriously a masterpiece. Congratulations.
Thank you so much SLC Pops! Truly a wonderful compliment coming from you!
Salt Lake Pops Orchestra Hoping you can invite Jennifer to play for you one day.
Agreed! Beautifully said!😌🙌🏻💜🌈
Excellent video, I also listened to this in audio and it really stirs the imagination. World class pianist and cellist, a double treat.
Thank you so much Alf!
I am so glad my friend told me about you and your music. I’ve been listening for over a year now and it just keeps getting better and better. ❤️
Aww, very kind of you, thank you!! (And thank you to your friend!).
Beautiful performance.
Everything about this is stunning and top quality; I wouldn't change a thing Jennifer! You should be so proud of this. I hope you're now having a well earned rest!! Lots of love x
Thank you Eurielle! Such kind words! Not completely rested but at least now catching up on replying to comments! The feedback has been overwhelming and good. Talk very soon! Hugs!
Omg Eurielle and Jennifer I’m the same comment thread I can die happy now
Loved your cover of my wife's and my own favorite Disney prince/princess movie! What an amazing story is Beauty and the Beast! Your interpretation adds both a magical and soaring element (you on the piano) as well as a somber tone (Armen Ksajikia on the cello) to the entire tenor of the musical image this piece paints on our hearts and our minds! Thanks for writing, performing, and sharing with us all!!!
Wow what a beautiful compliment....thank you so much Martin. So glad that you and your wife enjoyed it!
What a beautiful piano and cello!
I knew him for the first time. Armen, AWSOME!!
Good to see deserved Billboard classical chart success with her new album 'The Fire Within'.
I can't believe I found this masterpiece at 2020.
This is really amazing. Thankyou for the work you have done , I'm going to listen to this all day XD
Instant classic, Jennifer! The piano, the cello, the videography, the message, all of it. Instant classic.
I appreciate that, thank you Cory!!
You're beautiful, you're amazing, & I love your music. Don't ever stop what you are doing!
I’m totally not a fan of the beauty and the beast story, however the song here is truly beautiful. Thank you for your music.
You Rock Jen! I was so blown away from your talent and thought, she must so be a diva above all of us and then you show your human insecurities which only elevates you to a saint. Your insperation and music change me for life. I love every part of you inside and out!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment 🙏🙏❤️❤️.
The human qualities are the best part and they show that you're not a saint, you're human. ^___^
Regular humans can play beautiful music too. Or at least, some of them can. ^___^
Nothing wrong with being human.
I don't think any of the divas are above everybody anyway, and if they think they are, they can think again.
Jennifer, you don't think like that. Good for you. ^___^
It's so nice to see (and hear) someone beautiful and talented who knows that there's more to life than being beautiful and talented. ^____^ (You know what I mean. 😉)
Love your work. Awesome job with Beauty and the Beast. Thank you for playing and posting. 😃😊🙂😀
Love. ❤💙💜 🌹💐🏵🥀🌹
Wonderful piece. So fabulous to have women composers today.
Thank you Kathryn! I agree!
Enchanting, a perfect match of song, piano and cello.
Thank you Alf!
What rock have I been living under for the past few years? How is it possible that I have not heard of you? Your talent is incredibly amazing and you are so sweet and beautiful!! I’ve subscribed, am buying your CDs and will be sharing your beautiful music with everyone I love. It’s just what 2020 needs right now. ❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, thank you!! You are seriously the sweetest! I really appreciate your kind words! ❤️
Absolutely beautifully well done! 👏
The musicality of this arrangement is truly entrancing. Loved every minute of it. In my opinion you pulled out the most beautiful pieces from the score and made it sensational. Inspires me to play more. Thank you!
So glad it inspired you to play piano more, and thank you so much for the kind words!
My tears are a testament to the beauty you have created. You have moved me with your song and story. Thank you
Robert McKenna
What more is there to say but 'Perfection'. Jennifer is one extremely talented and vrry Beautiful lady.
Thank you VERY much Millie!!
How can so much beauty exist in one human being??
Thank youuuuuuu Wayne
That's wonderful, Jennifer! I just saw your shoes ... I did not know that Cinderella played the piano so beautifully! It's awesome! Congratulations also to all the musicians on the production team.......!
FANTASTIC! AWESOME! BRAVO!
You are so beautiful and your music touches my soul, thank you, I am so glad I found you on RUclips...
Awwwwwwww thank you!! ❤️
I'm looking forward to her new album out in June 2024
Found you tonight. Love your work. Wish I had your talent. You are BEAUTIFUL. Wonderfully and mysteriously made as the Bible says in Psalm139. Thank you, you made my night.
wonderful, a delight Jennifer & Armen!
Que maravilha!!! Amei ❤️!!
Beautiful piece, to have this remake however many years after the original has restored the magic of the music and the message. Thanks for sharing!
Aw I really appreciate you saying that, thank you so much! So glad you liked it.
Jennifer, I can't say enough about the wonderful music you create on your piano.. You are Incredible. Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift of music.
You are so kind, thank you Wayne!
Oh Jennifer, never worry or make excuses about your figure, you are voluptuous, beautiful and oh, what amazing hair! All my life I struggled to be thin at great cost to my health. Too much emphasis on being unnaturally skinny is placed on men and women these days, for what? Your talent and beauty shines through and your dresses are magical! Focus on your music and creating wonderful musical videos for us to enjoy. I see young men look, with interest, at my 23 year old gorgeous daughter who has a voluptuous figure, so forget what rubbish the media bombard us with about skinniness, it isn’t the real world. The reality is what is inside of us that counts. God bless, Karen UK x
WOW ES ALGO SORPRENDENTE QUE JENNIFER TOQUE PIANO TAN HERMOSO ME AS PARTIDO EL CORAZON
I love this song ❤️
This theater is near and dear to my heart, and this entire video is just LOVELY! CONGRATULATIONS!
Aw thanks Emily!
The first 3-4 minutes caught me COMPLETELY off-guard, then my amygdala went into hyperdrive and I started bawling like a baby in the library. Needless to say, I had my membership revoked, and I would do it again for music like this.
Abhishek Bandyopadhyay aww wow, this means a lot! I'm so happy you enjoyed it (sorry you got kicked out of the library though hahaha😂).
Jennifer Thomas haha thanks! Have you done a rendition of Lacrimosa yet? I would love to hear your interpretation of it!!
what an amazing arrangement. I have loved this story and the music for as long as I can remember. I love hearing talented musicians own rendition of classic pieces. This arrangement made me fall in love all over again. Thank you for it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Kayla!
Thank you Jennifer❤⚘️🎵🎶⚘️i love your music❤
Your inner beauty shines through in all your music. You are beautiful inside and out, and thats what sets you apart. Keep up the great videos and music, we love it, and appreciate the effort and hard work.
I appreciate your words so much Alex! Thank you!
Simply amazing... the production quality, the visuals, the beautiful ARTIST (inside and out). She is my absolute favorite instrumental artist and deserves to be known the world over for her talent. Share her video... it's a gift you give to others.
Awww THANK YOU Goody!!!
Gosh this is amazingly beautiful,the piano is beautiful, the theater,the guy next to you,love the shoes,the dress everything but above all I ADORE how you play the piano to me is as if you give a soul to the song is hard to explain.I never had any dreams but if i could have one it would probably be to play piano even a slightly well as you.
Aw thank you Ale! I appreciate that so much!! I had a couple of people tell me I needed to smile more in this video, but honestly I was playing from the heart and giving it all my feeling and concentration and really "into" the moments. Thank you for noticing the "soul" of it. Hugs!!
The quality of music and perfomance is completely breathtaking! Your cover evoked much more emotions than the original! Good job!
Thank you so much Kristiana!!
Wow just heared it...it is amazing almost magic to hear...
Lots of love from Greece!
You are beautiful inside and out. Your music gives me so much energy to get thru the day. Please keep it up.
That is so kind of you, thank you so much!!
