I feel like Tim Minchin is one of the most technically skilled pianist-singers out there. He plays stuff that would be cool and impressive on its own and then sings over it with impeccable, effortless delivery

[@cuteanimalseverywhere7620]

And the acting performance!

[@Mighty_Atheismo]

Not just singing! Singing while maintaining eye contact with the crowd!! He is almost never looking at his hands.

and comedic facial expressions at the same time. He is doing 3 things - singing, playing, acting.

I have an important story. One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith. So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana". I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly… I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling. He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car. A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

It's rare, but it does happen. It can help decongest an overpacked stave so you can follow the melody. Also when accompanying singers in rehearsal it is common for the pianist to have to play the vocal lines as well as some synthesis of the accompaniment. It's quite difficult!
