@@Ojas97 Actually, to sing high notes well, it takes technique as well It is easy to strain your voice when singing high notes with proper support or technique, that can damage your vocal cords There are ways to kind of increase your vocal range, for example, vocalizing while yawning As for whether it’s the hardest thing in singing, I’m not sure I’m not an expert, I take singing lessons, but I’m focusing on things like relaxing my jaw and using my mixed voice, but personally, I think whether singing high notes is the hardest thing to do depends on the person Let’s say there are two singers who both have the same vocal range, Singer X and Singer Y. Singer X can easily sustain a high note with good support, but struggles with things like riffs. Singer Y, can sing runs and riffs with ease and use vibrato naturally, but cannot sing high notes, he either strains his voice or is off tune So in my opinion, I think it depends on the person (Oh damn I typed a lot)

I went to an America's Got Talent taping once. Before ANY of the acts audition in front of the audience, the production comes out and tells the audience: standing ovation on 1, 2, 3. now, everybody look up and look surprised/scared. Now, act bored. Then they pick some audience members for the close-up shots of people yawning, laughing, etc. (without anybody on stage.) They do the same with judge dramatic reactions. THEN, the auditions begin and you find out why you were looking up scared/surprised... there's an act with a guy doing aerial stuff. I left after the second audition.

[@TheInsomniarules]

@@annoynmous1 I think mainly because people don’t naturally react dramatically and they need that for tv… if I’m watching a guy hanging from the ceiling I’m probably just going to look up and clap, but not with my mouth wide open while grabbing my cheeks and mouthing “I’m scared…” 😱 And if someone happens to do that naturally, what are the chances of having a camera doing a close-up of you doing it… so yeah, they tell everyone to do it and place several cameras pointed at certain people in the audience who know they are being filmed for a reaction… all those cameras are gone when the acts come out.

These clips simply support what I have known for years, and that is: people are easily impressed by things they don’t understand. Excellence doesn’t even have a seat at the table because mediocrity always wins. Edit: When I originally posted this comment 4 months ago, I rushed into getting my comment out there and botched what I meant to say. At first, I didn’t worry about it because I thought it made my point well enough, but I eventually realized it made it sound like I was saying something completely different my from the picture I was wanting to paint. I would just edit the comment to say what I originally wanted it to say but so much the subsequent commentary is based on the original wording specifically. If I could go back and amend my remarks to be closer to what I intended, they would say.... ... Excellence rarely even gets a seat at the table because Mediocrity and Good Enough always get there first.

So I have a confession to make. I’m 18, up until like a week ago I though playing high notes on the violin was something really impressive that only really good players could do. I guess because it’s hard to sing high my brain decided it makes sense for it to be hard to play too??

[@elly_hermione]

Well, high notes are hard to play, because you play them in high positions (when your left hand moves closer to your shoulder) and it can be hard to play in tune there, so you weren't really wrong. However, you can play in high positions, but not really high notes if you play on G string which is low itself, but it's still same level hard with playing in high positions on E string (which makes the highest notes). And it will be much harder than playing in 1st position on E string, even though 1st position on E string makes higher notes than high positions on G string. So, it's actually not about how high the note is, but how high the position is. And many other things, too ;) And also, even though it's hard, it's a skill that every violinist usually has, not only the best of them, but good violinists make it sound much better and seem easy.

[@patinho5589]

It’s because you have never learnt an instrument, and therefore you are comparatively clueless about this stuff.

[@someone3187]

Playing high notes are more difficult than lower notes, because of the hand position (left hand). However, they were pointing out the tremolo (= tremble) effect, which is made by the bow hand (right hand). The tremolo effect itself is easy to do.

And listening now, it sounded kind of out of tune.

@@beatm6948 The third note in tremolo was supposed to be C#, but she plays it ao out of tune, the tuner interprets it as a C. Yet she still gets a violin she does not deserve.

Hey she was a bit hangover

[@AMAR-ym7sz]

"Wow, she must be hung over" hahahahahaha! Superficiality and mediocrity rein supreme. I can totally relate. As a young guitarist I recall killing at a guitar contest, being congratulated backstage by all the other contestants, only to hear it announced that I lost to the worst of them all because he did splits, rolled on the floor, and slid on his knees while playing the most sloppy, basic crap. Never mind that it was a PLAYING contest, he won simply on the dramatics. #reallylame

F Man, I'm really sorry. It's so unfair. They should have actual musicians judge musician-based talent shows or competitions.

The last part when the Taiwanese girl started to sing and when Brett laughed embarrassedly was so painful to watch. Reminded me of myself as an undergrad science major having an illusion of being starter than I was, just because I heard some buzzwords. That's what I must have looked like in front of my professors... 🙃💔

I'm surprised Lindsey Stirling's audition for agt wasn't in the video. She's had a lot of success in modern violin. You guy's should do a reaction video to some of her performances, covers, and music videos.

[@sandsand5483]

They've dropped little references to her here and there throughout their videos basically as She Who Will Not Be Named.

[@badguy4032]

They're friends with her. They parody her all the time.

So these judges think a tremolo is cool when 6th graders are being asked to play it at my school. *Good job.*

They think Canon in D is amazing when a beginning orchestra class is playing it in a concert at my school on October 28th, 2019.

[@hersheyprajapati9082]

@@snailuka, to be fair, playing Canon in D is pretty impressive for a beginner. I speak from experience.

@@hersheyprajapati9082 you're probably right. I had been playing for 2 years when I played the piece.
