"But Is this a talent?" No truer words have ever been said. Maybe they should just rename the show to America's Just Different.

[@dertiarthe]

in Brazil a lot of parents give their children a recorder, but the toy version, just like violin and guitar, but I play the actual recorder, and you wouldn't believe how many times people have seem me play and asked "is this that toy? does it actually make a sound?" people think that only the flute is the real instrument, and I always have to explain etc.

[@binusam2950]

I play the recorder, people always tell me that you played the "flute" very well haha😅. Recorder is an underrated instrument, but it sounds good in the hands of a professional.

[@luisfelipedacostaleda251]

..eu gosto muito de música eletrônica, mas quando quero variar um pouco começo pelas interpretações contendo flautas. Gosto demais delas todas!

[@isaiasdaisysammy5705]

Também disseram-me isso varias vezes, mas isso é fruto de preconceito e ignorância. A flauta doce era um instrumento tocado nas cortes de nobres na Europa pelo século 17 e 18. E compositores como Bach, Vivaldi, Tellemann e Van Eick tem peças soberbas para flauta doce. O meu professor de Novo Testamento deu-me uma flauta de madeira de Ébano da Moeck, apesar de não estar no seu melhor pois já é velhinha e ainda tem um som maravilhoso. Tenho algumas músicas no meu canal que toco com ela.cumprimentos de Portugal.

[@hessu3]

it is exactly the same situation here in Germany. Many children got a very cheap recorder in elementary school and never managed to play it, not even in a simple way. There are even jokes about the recorder, which mean, something is very easy and sounds horrible. The people who decided to give elementary kids a recorder did not a good thing, in my opinion.

[@FlyingAngel69]

I was starting to learn music from recorder and then switched to clarinet. But the recorder was actually more pleasant to play then clarinet or piano for example. Though recorder is more simple and limited in the sound range and repertoir available. But that was really fun to play and hear. Of cause with a proper instrument. It should not be expensive. Just not the chiepest one. Spent just a little bit more and you will really feel the difference.

[@ThatDrawingDreamer]

Jasmine, you probably won’t read this, but every time I see a video of yours I get motivated to play. I’m in my fifth year now, and I almost stopped in my 3rd year, because I got bullied. (Because I’m a boy), but you helped me to persevere. Thank you for existing and motivating😅, thanks to you, I won a music tournament with a classic, “badinerie”. You probably won’t read this, but thanks, and sorry for my English by the way.😅

5:10 That's Bansuri and it has a lot of ornamentation techniques and the gliding is called as Meend if I am not wrong.

[@vxrtxcy566]

What bothers me so much is that AGT is so saturated with “difference” that if a renowned flautist were to perform, judges would view their performances as boring rather than realizing the technicality, tone, and articulation that was acquired through years of work.

[@DavidMulderOne]

Then again, if the goal is "technicality, tone, and articulation", a loudspeaker will do a fabulous job as well. And yes, that's unnecessarily harsh just to make a point, but something shouldn't just have value because it's difficult. At the end of the day for the large majority of us listening just to 'one note at a time' on a flute is just relatively boring. I am not discounting that there is a small group of people who greatly value someone 'being the best' in abstract skills like playing the flute, but for most the difference between 'the best player' and 'a good player' is basically nothing, because the flute itself does far more to define the experience. Not to say that AGT can't be a bit *too* focused on gimmicks, but at the same time, I don't think it would be any better if it was just a bunch of perfect sounding music.

[@BlackHermit]

This is the talent show of the Law. To play the flute well is one thing, but to reveal the truth and illusions to the masses is another.

[@omerkagan2340]

i love the relaxing, serene effect in symphonies after the most intense moments. of course people would found flute boring. i feel sorry for them because they dont have the sense for such performances. we appreciate your art❤

[@CrankyBeach]

If somebody said those things to me, I would say, "But I'm NOT a flautist! I play the FLUTE, not a FLOUT!"

[@user-kt6go1kt2n]

You can make a video where you rank the 10 parts for the flute you like best from all kinds of periods, I'm interested ;) And I love your videos!!

[@MJSpangle]

Jasmine, you have so much talent, and have put so much into your playing that you have no need of any 'crutches' to get people to listen to you.

[@manofculture8848]

There's something about your smile that's addictive.

[@carolineg.5461]

Vraiment ce n'est pas ton tuto qui m'a déplu, mais ce que nous avons vu au travers certains concours. Merci Belle Jasmine d'avoir verbalisé que ça te fesais mal d'ecouter ces commentaires. Je ressens ce sentiment aussi parce que je trouve que beaucoup de monde juge trop vite sur tout. 🥲 Trop souvent du sensationalisme ou des histoires tristes ou accrocheuses qui attirent les foules. ❤️‍🩹 C'est comme si les juges avaient le pouvoir de dire à celui ou celle sur scène si elles ont le droit de poursuivre ou non leur rêves, leur plaisir. Pourtant les juges et la foule n'ont qu'un certain créno de connaissance. Quelqu'un vient y jouer de la flute tel que toi et ils ne sauront pas déceller la beauté et surtout la complexité ainsi que ce que cet instrument représente pour toi, ni le parcours qui t'as dirigé-là.❤❤❤ Moi je ne me fatiguais pas d'écouter des joueurs de "flutes de pans", de banjo... dans la rue de Montréal. Je m'assoyais et je les écoutais. ❤❤❤ Ils étaient originaires de l'Inde, je crois, mais quels beaux moments j'ai passé à les regarder et les écouter jouer de la musique de leur culture. WoW.🎉🎉🎉

[@AliOssol]

Ah oui, apparemment... Montréal est un endroit magnifique

[@shivapal1275]

Your videos are amazing! Can you watch some videos about the Indian flute 🇮🇳🇮🇳, called the bansuri, and share your perspective? It's an ancient instrument with unique techniques and a rich history. Indian music is very precise and traditional, and there's so much to learn from it. It would be great to hear your thoughts on the bansuri!

[@zoya0909]

Love from India ❤❤

[@Gabbygg72]

Im excited!

[@obduratecb]

Hi jasmine!! i’ve been wanting to pick up the flute, and ur videos are very educational! keep it up!!

[@shipsahoy1793]

Jasmine, you are knowledgable and talented and I really enjoy hearing you discuss flute, flute playing, and hearing you. . I'm only a lowly (kidding) amateur woodwind player, including flutes, but I find flute to be as incredible and as worthy as any of the other instruments, of which I also play some strings. Music brings enrichment to the soul. Thank you for your service!

[@showman4570]

[@notilise755]

Well as for they need not just play their flute but to do other thing, that’s the way the talent show goes😅 Judges cannot judge instrument talents. But indeed it is pity they say his playing recorder was horrible for them🙄

[@jim_jim1674]

3:09 7:17 Simon Cowell was the head judge and had lots of air time to express his personal feeling because he was boss of the show, for entertainment, nothing else, it didnt mean he was good commenting on any performing art or music. Dont take those serious. 😅

[@sonja4186]

Simon Cowell just does n't like classical music. So it's not a surprise that he does nt like the flute,which is used for that a lot. He does n't like ballet either. Or opera's. Someone should make a video of all positive things he ever said as a jugde. I bet it's a short video 😄

[@katherinetang8772]

Normally, people don’t treat classical music with the respect it deserves. Especially for the younger generations, regular flutes are just boring

[@epikur394]

Unfortunately, the alto flute was a bit out of tune😂

[@jasonsummit1885]

I don't play the flute but I do enjoy the sound of the different types of them not really including the concert flute as it's too normal.

[@joshuajohnson2216]

I'm watching too

[@isaiasdaisysammy5705]

Dear Jasmine, I like to watch your videos. I started to play recorder since my fifth grade, and eleven years ago I learned flute. I just have One month classes. I learned to play almost by my self. I often listen depreciative comments while I was playing the recorder. Sometimes I felt sorrow, but I didn't allow myself to get discouraged and untill now I play both. I like the recorder for it's easy to play at the level I play. Concerning the flute I love the sound of it. I have my Chanel in which I upload Christian hymns and Worship songs. I follow like othe Koream Flutists as Yeojin Han and Yubeen Kim, I don't know if you know them. Greetings from Portugal, I like your channel you are virtuoso Flutist and look a nice person.

[@BlueYiperoo]

I play Native American flute too.

[@agatafurczyk9149]

I enjoyed the clips with people showing off real skills! 🥰 The fragments from the American edition... Hmm... If Those-Two-Guys could at least play their instruments well, one could assume they were just desperate to get some extra attention to jump-start their careers... But it wasn't even that... 🤦‍♀

[@rigakisandreadimitra8313]

[@danielliang9266]

It's a shame how these talent shows are conducted. Once anyone gets enough of the flashy meta of these talent shows, I really hope they can start listening to the music rather than watching it and see (or hear) so much more.

[@FlyingAngel69]

Piano actually can't have 88 notes at the same time. As music. Only if we lay down on the piano it would but it wouldn't be music :) 10 is a maximum for 1 person playing piano... I think. I didn't really counted but we only have 10 fingers, no?

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

I played the flute when I was young. It's an acquired taste and a skill only appreciated by the special elite. Don't bring it down to the level of America's got talent. James Galway was probably the last person who could represent the skill to the public in a tasteful way. Jasmine could probably bring it out to the public without any gimmicks. The choice of song is important like Annie's song.

[@klara-r2l]

[@blauespony1013]

Well, the crutch is just that. A crutch. Like the yawning leading up to the "reveal". But where do you go with an act like that? The novelty will wear off faster than you can say "flute". (Let's just ignore how heavily skripted that scene was - somehow AGT is okay with making their audience look uncultured and only entertained by flashy show elements). Love the video!

[@dcallan812]

A very different video today. 2x👍 I try to avoid talent shows, and still will be. But a couple of the players really did have talent. The others and the judges weeellll not so much to say. I play alto flute for myself and dont inflict it on others. ☺

[@mythshodow]

You should make a video of how to flutter tounge 😅

[@something7419]

the judges really want a circus to uplift their mood. They do not have the capacity or patience to enjoy listening to a recorder performance. I understand they might have trauma or whatever but that is not an excuse discourage or outright insult the performer promoting hate for the people who might want to play such instruments

[@RooftopAsians]

IN THE FIRST ONE IT CUT TO EVERYONE YAWNING ON THE ACTUAL FLUTE OMG WTF

[@mendyviola]

It’s all about viewership and advertisements. Reality TV isn’t a good source for good music.

[@FlyingAngel69]

I think this stripping part was actually good. Not by how it was but as idea. Music, classic opera and theather initially was actually entertainment for people. Nowdays when we have video games, cinema, KZbin and more as another form of entertainment they all compete with each other for the attention of audience. Yes, classical music is classical. But it can't compete good enough with other forms of intertainment in classical form. Making it more like a performance show with music is better then just the same music itself. I love music and if strippers could make it popular I would support this. :)

[@louiseadrien5641]

The thing is this stripping doesn’t help making classical music more popular at all. The alto flute player played out of tune + cameraman focused on people being bored. And then when the 2 topless guys played together, it was even more out of tune but it didn’t matter because obviously no one was still listening. This is just insulting for everybody : for the instrument, for the art and the music, for the players, and for the audience that is showed as totally uncultured… if in order to make classical music more accessible or more popular, you totally hide the music behind naked bodies or flashy things, the goal is obviously not achieved… it is not difficult to guess that people who really enjoys this show will never come to a classical concert. This is just sad and ridiculous :(

[@FlyingAngel69]

​@@louiseadrien5641 Well at least they have tried) I don't think better music performance with everything else the same would made much of a difference in this show. But some of the people present or watching video could catch a glimpse of an interest for the classical music still. Even if it's a question like "was this performance even good or talanted?". It's still better then have no interest at all.

[@Da_Creator14]

my dear and godess of flute Jasmine choi, I challenge YOU to play ''Blue'' by Herman Beeftink. I would really appreciate that you play this piece because I searched and no one even tried to record it and play it. Since you are so good at beatboxing, can you please do it?❤❤🙏🙏

The guy who took off his clothes and started dancing is just disgusting. If a dancer did that it's ok, that's not something strange. But if I'm going to a flute performance the last thing I want is for the flutist to take off his clothes and start dancing in my face.

[@andrewquirey7364]

Wrong type of show for such a beautiful instrument and wrong audience from a cultured perspective very surprised and angry that this instrument was subjected to that the flutes respectful place is in the classical symphony orchestra plus it is played by artists as a solo instrument the budy that came on with the alto flute was miles flat and whar has striping of got to do with flute playing. People look down on the recorder but it lost its popularity in the 18th century when it was superseded by the transverse flute but certain historical groups have reintroduced it playing music from the reainssance / baroque eara wrong show that's an alien culture hope I never see that again.
