No way…
After nearly 12 years and dozens of talent shows saturating the airwaves, this audition is STILL the best of the very best.
After 12 years, the way he just stares out at the crowd at the end still makes me smile. Dude knew he just changed lives, and that's the stare of a main protagonist.
Could not agree more ❤️
12 years later and I still get chills hearing this. I'm an improv musician and a music junkie and there is nothing else like what Chooka did here.
Still one of my absolute all time favorites. Come back every year lmao
It's so nice to read your lovely comments about my son, Chooka! Did you know he sings too? He has a song Stay In This Moment on his channel. Chookaparkertv
Honestly theres something so profound about the transition and progression of this piece, its not even close to perfect but thats what makes it even better, its something you'll never hear from anyone else.
It starts off like an Australian outback cowboy western. Then it gets deep. Then it gets intense. Then it gets sad. Then he ended it on cheerful goofy happy feeling. He can definitely convey emotion in sound and take us all on a journey. I appreciate so much so musicians and actors and artists that can truly inspire such emotions of the observer.
There is pretty big difference between having musical talent and being a musical genius. Cause in case anyone didn't notice - this is genius. Don't waste your life, man, because human kind needs guys like you. I've never seen anyone communicate with me via piano so easily. Surreal.
Thanks for your support and comments :) I really appreciate it! Chooka
Chooka, you said something extremely important that gives us a clue as to why you could be so brilliant. What almost no one realizes is that the electronics we are exposed to today produces harmful ions that harm every cell in our body. The ions actually repel the electrical minerals. This reduces our ATP energy production sixfold. The brain can't do what you do if that is happening.
As an example, let's look at this from a different perspective. In the US over 200 years ago, the people went to war with England. Some of the soldiers were barefoot, yet they walked in the cold, windy rain and in the snow sometimes. Some soldiers carried on for months or years this way. They were able to do this because there were no cell towers lowering their ATP. Today, there is not one American who could do what was done as a matter of course 250 years ago. This is what happens when our energy is 1/6th of what it is supposed to be.
To keep your talent, you will want to protect yourself with Bliss Disks and the Whirling Bliss Machine, especially since you are more likely to be in places where there are a lot more electronics. Full disclosure, I am the inventor the Machine.
You are what can happen with the right attitude and the right ions.
Kelley - Please stop.
Just ... don't. Not here. Thanks.
lol
Yes mostly people stucked with his level of playing an instrument but actually the important thing was how he constructing melodies im telling this as a pianist. This kid got raw composing talent i hope he can do something with it
This guy is still humble as pie.
I follow him on fb and couldn't ask for a nicer guy still loves all his fans and still is tuning out awesome tunes on the piano
Don't ever judge a book by its cover you don't know what they are going to bring out
After so many years I am still watching this video...AMAZING Chooka.
613 people here are just deaf, ignore them. Cheers!
Wow, good on you Giovanni! Come visit my channel here for loads more and updates~ th-cam.com/channels/svWpadt57VvoOhGSnRyyKA.html Chooka :)
2019 here
Yup same
@@tjcmoto5484 his new channel is Chookaparkertv. He's singing now, writing his own songs and composing symphonies and multiple instrumentals.
it's 2020 and i still come back to it :D
It's been two years now since I watched this video. I still love it. What caught me the most was not the music but the simple personality of the musician. And by simple I mean plain and clear. There is no surprise that this lovely music reflects the brightness inside a person.
Way to go, Chooka!
Cheers from Russia!
Man that melody... this is a timeless masterpiece that should be turned into a recorded song.
It is. He recorded it, and called it, 'Beginnings'.
@@QuestionThingsUseLogic thank you!
@@pablodebella7695 you're welcome. I'm Chooka's Mum 😊
@@QuestionThingsUseLogic cheers hope he is doing great!
I'm not exaggerating when I say I've seen this video well over 200 times over the years and it has given me goosebumps every single time without fail! And, of course, his amazing Aussie demeanour has made me laugh with a smile from ear to ear every time as well!
Me too! Thousands - listen to it constantly
@@courtneypope1234 his you tube channel is ChookaParkerTV.
Same!❤️
First time I've seen it! Won't be the last
i don't understand why people say he's not a good player because he doesn't play like a classically trained pianist. This is something entirely new and amazing. Bravo sir! one of the most phenomenal performances I've had the privilege to listen to .
Charlie Burnap Thanks Charlie!! Lots more on my channel (80+ videos) you can enjoy. Chooka th-cam.com/users/ChookaParkerChannel
I watched this years ago but just thought of it again and had to listen again. Don't know much about music but this was amazing.
From Hungary, hi! Hard to find words Chooka, I dont think I will be able to cut the grass tomorrow without listening to this masterpiece at least one more time. Iam just speechless. Thanks for that man.
i think i'm about 2000 of those views... this gent is by far the best pianist of our generation...
Glad to hear it, thanks! Have you seen the other 50 videos on my own channel? Chooka
that bit in the middle when he had his head down was magic.
Dave T he had his head down the whole time...
sounds like from transformers
Savage That was the joke.
No it wasn't a joke. He clearly pointed out that "bit in the middle", so jokes on you InvictuZ. LMAO you doofus
I'm glad I could make you laugh.
Glad to be back for my perhaps 100.000th listening/viewing in eight years. I've never wanted to be in an audience so much in my life. Still, after all this time, no one holds a candle to this performance. You are amazing Chooka. I'm so happy your talent has reached so many people, especially me!
Still amazing after hearing all these years. The guy is a prodigy, doing that without any formal musical training. Chooka can easily could be the likes of Mozart, who had natural talent and Europe's best teachers since he was a toddler. His natural understanding of phrasing, musical singing, harmony, chords, colour, virtuosity is a God given gift.
I agree. I come back regularly to listen to this and after all the years this is still probably my favorite musical performances especially because it's all improvised. But I do think formal musical training is very overrated. Learning anything just requires passion and dedication and just "doing it" by yourself. A teacher can only show you something that you'd have figured out by yourself anyway. And if you're really obsessed learning something like Chooka, I bet a teacher would only be hindrance. Like imagine someone is really passionate about figuring out something, and when you try to show them how it's done, they push you away like "sshh! I got this!"
Jimmy Hendriks couldn't read notes, took a right hand strat and just turned it around and made the guitar sound like even Leo Fender didn't knew it was possible!
@@barrymantz6026 Hendrix was a freak of nature though, we may never see a talent as innovative as him again.
@@Ryanrea2002 did you know Chooka can play improv on guitar too? He has a few videos on his channel Chookaparkertv.
What is great about him. Is that he hasn’t been molested by current media, marketing or other major influences. This is “raw” talent at its best.
That first bit with the judges was the most Australian conversation in all of history
I've spoken to him a few times - honestly, one of the most humble, down to Earth man.
Me too!! He's a nice young man.
Even though I am from the U.S., I love to watch Autralia's Talent Shows. They have so much talented people out there. It's Amazing to watch!
2:33 - 3:08 This section makes me zone out every time. To make up something like this on the fly.... no words. Mad respect and appreciation, seriously.
I still get shivers when i listen to him play, its so amazing
This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen Chooka... I hope one day I can play like you! So inspiring! Thanks mate! +Chooka Parker
This is the most humble 16 year old I have ever seen! And incredibly talented!
you could sit here all day thinking about why someone disliked it but you got think of it. Theres like under 1 percent of the viewers who disliked it. So thats pretty good.
This guy is genius, learning and composing wounderful pieces by himself. That's amazing!
He’s got some much raw musical talent. Incredible to listen to.
To be able to craft music on the spot like that AND have it be coherent and not just random notes is absolutely unimaginable...wow
Dear god I have NEVER been so encapsulated by a musical performance before. I've never experienced the kind of feelings I did listening to that. Chooka you are so raw that I truly felt it, i felt your music. It was almost tangible. I could feel it in my skin and my muscles in a way I've never felt before. I hope you see this Chooka, you've touched me.
i love you Chooka ty for that, it will stay in my heart forever
Watched your auditions at least 30 times and they still give me goosebumps....Alan from Scotland
alan birrell Thanks Alan from Scotland! Appreciate your support. Please visit my TH-cam channel for loads more th-cam.com/users/ChookaParkerChannel Chooka :)
A true virtuoso, the most amazing piano playing I've ever seen hands down.
Thanks for that :)
Wow! what an amazing talent and the fella seems a real down to earth gent. Great.
Thanks Ritchie! Chooka :) Also, here's my own channel link~ th-cam.com/channels/svWpadt57VvoOhGSnRyyKA.html
Spectacular and talented af great job representing our Aussie talent.
made that up as he went? wow! now that's a gift! it takes me two weeks to perfect the music I write. just wow! God bless ya mate, good work!
When I saw your audition , i couldn't believe it at first ! .. you are serously wayyyyyyys too talented. Hopefully , you came to Got Talent , to share that incredible gift of yours!
Big LUV from Québec, Canada !
Thanks! Yes, I did and I have loads more on my channel too :) Chooka
Back in 2016 chooka and still loving this amazing moment...
favorite. audition. ever.
I sure hope that this amazingly talented man has been discovered by someone. By this, I mean getting paid. He is a rare find. I could listen to this guy all day. Keeping my fingers crossed that he got his houseboat and is floating down a river playing his piano. If anyone deserves to have their dream come true, it's this humble man.
Thanks for your kind comment! I am still doing things on my own and one day hope to get that houseboat, but not for now. I'm actually recording in Hong Kong atm, but have already released CD's and singles independently. Cheers, Chooka chookaparkermusic.com/
I remember watching this on TV in 2011 and thinking, wow! This guy is amazing. He then became my favourite for the rest of the series.
Thanks for that! Appreciate it :) Chooka
The look on their face when he said 'I am going to make it up on the spot'!! They claim that they are musicians too, If they were musicians they would know what improvisation is and as always Great job Chooka!
Cheers!
To the haters - it doesn't matter, he still really is that good. Even if you're right, that doesn't change anything. It doesn't matter if he's not really just 16. It doesn't matter if he's not just making it up and it's something he wrote before. He still played that. It was still better than anything you'll ever do. Don't shit on his talent just because you're jealous.
@jameshill2450 Thanks for your support of Chooka! He certainly was 16 at the time of recording and *he did* make this piece up on the spot. I was freaking out because he refused to practise anything for the show prior as he wanted it to be fresh. I know this because I'm his Mum!
There's magic to be found in watching someone bare their soul in the form of music. Thankyou so much for sharing your gift, very touching.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I have done dozens of music videos on my YT channel. Released CD's and singles and still performing after the show in 2011 :) Here's one example~ th-cam.com/video/fD7576yTe80/w-d-xo.html&google_comment_id=z13hvlzj4tbgz3fir04cgdvr2ozajrv5boo0k&google_view_type Cheers, Chooka
Here in December 2019 and this video never gets old. I love it as much now as the first time I watched him over 8 years ago.
I know there are many great pianist but man he is truly a genius, one of the few. I swear.
BEST SONG EVER!!!FOR EVER!!!
Probably the most breathtaking and talented works of ingeniousness that i have ever witnessed in my entire life. Well done Chooka, simply awesome.
Best performance I've ever seen on any talent show! World tour anytime soon? Pure magic all the way, Incredible talent, a star in the making!
Thanks for that :) Not at this stage, still doing it on my own, so maybe one day! Visit my YT for loads more and Facebook more current updates! th-cam.com/channels/svWpadt57VvoOhGSnRyyKA.html Chooka PS You can also subscribe to my website.
I have no words. Just amazing. Pure talent. Just listening this song brought me to tears. Tryely fantastic. Be proud of your talent. I love your work.
Sisinka Haruno Thanks heaps! Please enjoy my other music too :) Chooka

Sisinka Haruno Good on you!
It's not that good but it's goodddddddddddddd
*truly
Most amazing thing I've ever heard or seen.
Greetings from germany and thankyou for this Music, I like You
I've been trying to find this for so long! This is literally my favourite audition ever, i cant stop watching it.
His channel is Chooka Parker TV and this song is called 'Beginnings' on iTunes etc.
He was so chill but the moment he touched piano it electrified him
Is just amazing!. so rare to see someone with such pure unadulterated talent, self-taught, sixteen yrs old country boy, can just make up and play the piano like that! "Omg!" is just incredibly soul-lifting!
You're born to play piano Chooka Parker, you're a genius!. Cheers!
Every time I watch this I get happy tears !!! Love you Chooka !
Wow Jesus that was bloody amazing!! Just came across this by accident. By hell Chooka you're one talented bugger!! Well done, Rock on mate!
***** Thanks heaps! Check out my channel for loads more :)
Chooka i've got to say that you are unique. Ive seen this video at least 20+ times and i still cant get enough and this song is always on my head. keep up the good work.
javironi joseph Good to hear! About to release this song on iTunes, actually. Thanks :)
This is one of the most amazing, genuine things I have ever seen. Incredibly inspiring.
I have watched this over and over, and it's awesome every time.
This young man may look older than he is for good reason. Like a lot of young people who veg out on the internet in their bedrooms eating junk food, he works hard on his parent's farm. In other words....he is very responsible and very mature. And he gets it!
Or maybe it's the fact that he grew out a stash
Uurr, those God dern millennials!
Calm down there, oldtimer
I don't know how anyone is fooled by that moustache, it's the typical teenage moustache although his isn't quite as scraggly as most. I could definitely tell he was a teenager although I thought about 17, even with the slight voice break.
I know lots of people who don’t work on a farm that look like that
GeminiStargazer he literally said he was 16
You know chooka I always keep coming back to view this.. you blew me away the night I seen this and it still blows me away every time I view it now. I have toyed around with many musical instruments and never could follow reading music, But playing by ear and making up your own music was very rewarding for me. I was no where near as good as you but was proud. I could only imagine how much you must shine within yourself knowing how much you can touch everyone from around the world with your music. I have read endless comments regarding your videos many from around the world that think you are amazing. Simply you are mate because as you would know when you hear something that moves you..you can't speak, move, control emotions and that my friend you do very well. Keep feeding the keys you soul brother it sounds wonderful.
Dean larose Thanks Dean, I appreciate your comment and clearly your support! It's all about enjoying what you do, not being better than anyone else to be honest. Please visit my channel, if you haven't already so you can enjoy the 85 videos there :) I've recorded this song to go with a biography that's in the pipeline (double album included), so follow me on Facebook and YT to see what I'm up to! Thanks, Chooka chookaparkermusic.com/

Chooka I would like to say thank you. I am so glad I saw your videos on TH-cam. The first time I saw this video I was blown away. I have watched this video and your Grand Final performance more times than I can count and think it is simply amazing. Your music is very uplifting =)
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Curtis
Rommel1l Hey, thanks Curtis! Have you seen my channel? I have the final’s piece that is ‘Grandad’s Song’ on my channel without being edited :))
Just saw this for the first time yesterday here in the UK and loved it, incredible. So looking forward to exploring omore of Chooka's music, hope all his dreams come true.
I could listen for hours
I've met this guy... Amazing experience and he was a big thing at my small town (About half an hour away from Maryborough) :)
The coolest thing about his perfomance is that he chooses keep imrovising and not prolonging those amazing moments like in 2:52. If he wants he can prolonge those chilling moments and become a star.
Cheers mate! I've recorded lots of different styles and released albums and singles. I'm also about to release my studio version of this song :) Chooka

Cheers!!
Chooka Parker
What do you call this masterpiece? :)
Andrew Hargett It is called 'Beginnings' and will be out on iTunes soon!
Here it is..called ‘Beginnings as Chooka said. ’itunes.apple.com/au/album/beginnings-single/id1200339631
Absolutely, positively, one of the most talented young people out there!
Still one of my favorite videos even in ‘22
Best thing about u brother is ur simplicity . Ur god gifted never leave anything u luv da most even if u face difficulties my wishes to u . Cheers
deepak pandey Thanks mate, really appreciate your comment! I'm on the net now, so you'll find lots more music and updates from me :) Chooka (TH-cam won't allow me to post a link here, but if you google chookaparkermusic, you'll find me!)
:)
i am watching this video every day since a week, and i'll continue... cause this is the best thing i've ever seen!!! love it
TrainRyouko Glad you like it!
Chooka, I just saw your audition from 2011 this morning ... I shared it on my studio facebook page and commented as below:
This is honest and true .. God-given raw talent honed by passion, thoughtfulness ... and dreams ...
Oh Chooka is good. Who knows where else she is goose bumped or what else except her beautiful eyes is welling up?
The most amazing thing is he has no idea how good he is. AMAZING!! All I can say
15jayh Thanks, glad you liked it :)
He's the type of genius that would be able to make great money making background music for various things. Maybe it's just his outfit, but I could see the song he's playing being put to a comedic saloon brawl in an American Western movie. It's almost as if the scenes paint themselves in my head as he's playing.
Thanks for the compliment!
Saw him in Warnambool about 3 years ago. He was in a music shop playing piano amazingly
Not everyone can become a legend, but a legend can come from anywhere.
Cheer's from Serbia bro,you r amazing!Keep going like that! Peace
To this day, this is one of the best! A complete improv on A minor and you still made it up on the spot! In my opinion, still one of the god damn best!
Thanks mate!
Wow this is good! Way to go Chooka you orlando bloom looking beast !
Genius...love running into stuff like this. Wow.
chooka is australias treasure..... agree?
when he plays piano it reminds me of Davy Jones from pirates of the Caribbean
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dududun
THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT
Progenie he looks like Will hahaah
No lol Davy Jones is sad, you can feel the hurt when he plays.This was too fast paced, uppity and happy.
Or maybe that’s just me.
Part of his song is from pirates of the Caribbean, but, mashed up with his own variations
have to be one of the best piano players in the HISTORY of the world, un believable man, well done, up here in canada

One of the most amazing i've ever seen.The sound was like happy and also sad.I don't know how to explain but it was beautiful.

His Mum and Dad must be so proud, he is remarkable. Will never understand how this sort of talent comes out in individuals , baffling ! to see it first hand in one of your on kids is even more baffling . They hear, they play , just like we look at a clock and open the front door and off to work.
