Piano girl / purple shirt here (Summer)! We actually all wanted to do that but they had to film a different episode as soon as our filming for this wrapped as they’re on a tight schedule. We all might eventually jam at some point though :)
I just can't believe that somebody who started playing their first instrument a week ago would genuinely believe they are more skilled than well rounded and experienced musicians.
I think it’s pretty close-minded to assume something like that after seeing such a short video that’s simply a little window into their lives. Cut him some slack, think of a time you said smthg in the moment and then regretted it; and this is stuck on TH-cam forever.
@@sickosnake2673 hey! So, on flute I played a cover (“Lovely” - Billie Eilish & Khalid) and then on piano/keyboard I played an original classical crossover composition (“JFN” - Summer Swee-Singh) which you can find on all major streaming music platforms etc. (Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes …if you want to hear the piece in full)
Summer is definitely the best just from a technical standpoint and the fact they gave her a keyboard as opposed to at least an upright is such a major disservice to her dynamics and articulations since clearly there was a lot more variation than the keyboard could possibly demonstrate.
Hey there! Thanks so much for the kind words. Just wanted to let you know that I actually brought my Nord keyboard you see in the video (full disclosure, I’m endorsed by them and truly do love their keyboards) bc they told us they would not have an acoustic piano on set. Nords are surprisingly responsive (that one has fully weighted keys and pretty solid action), so any lack of dynamics is probably just me not playing to the best of my ability. As I’m a studio and touring keys player / pianist, Nords and Korgs are basically industry standard for us. That said, of COURSE :) I’d prefer a 7ft concert grand Ravenscroft, Steinway, Shigeru Kawai, Fazioli, Bosendorfer, etc. as I feel most at home playing one of those brilliantly crafted pianos. I’m a definitely pianist first and a keyboardist second, but that said, pianists who better than I am likely can still find ways to add more nuance in their playing with any sort of limitations keyboards may pose because of their immediate response to the difference in action through years of experience playing on not-very-ideal pianos and keyboards. Just like any “you gotta make do with what you have” situation, if that makes sense.

@Gabriel oh wow, this is so flattering. Thank you for the encouragement! Yeah, I quit after a year so I could focus on school and piano, violin, soccer and volleyball lol (my parents were def pushing the extracurriculars). I know my breath control has never been good (back in 6th grade and also now lol), but it’s been really fun teaching myself scales and figuring out songs by ear :) I still have the beginner flute with all plastic hole covers in; I tried taking them out to see how it sounded/felt, and it was TERRIBLE lol, so I definitely need them as a crutch :)
Okay now I get why Michael was ranked in the middle and not higher cuz I think multi-instrument playing = talent. The rushing may have hindered his playing
Multi instrument playing most definitely does not equal talent. Playing an instrument is a learned skill like any other. How well a person can play one instrument tells you a lot more than how many instruments they play. This dude played guitar well. So clearly he has some ability. But his cello playing was absolutely terrible. Painful to hear. Like I said, he played guitar well, so he’s not without talent. But the mere fact that he played multiple instruments means nothing in itself
@@76JStucki Agree, I play violin and also piano and guitar and a tiny tiny bit of cello, but I practice violin for 40 hours a day and when I'm asked what instruments I play, I say only violin and do not drag about the other instruments that I only play to a begginer's level.
I think the musicians undermined their performances by trying to fit as many instruments as they could play under their given time. They would have excelled more had they simply performed the instrument they were most skilled in (of course, if they needed to accompany themselves with another instrument, that would be an exception). In a performance like this, less is definitely more.
Exactly! People put too much stock in the ability to play multiple instruments with no regard for how well they are played. Jack of all trades, master of none is how it usually works out
Yeah I only clicked on this to listen to Summer. no offense to the others but her piece moved me the most. Someone please tell me I can find this on spotify or something
Hi! This is so kind :) So flattered it moved you; It’s an original composition of mine -which I wrote for my husband-called “JFN” (by Summer Swee-Singh). It’s on all the big music platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and Bandcamp, (etcetera).
@@SummerSweeSingh Thats amazing. The expression on your piece is everything. Im definitely going to listen to it. I cant play but I wish I could play like you. Thanks for the reply.
@@ashantigilroy1982 thank you so much! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 it’s just practice, practice, practice (and personally for me, a lot of that was ear training which I find to be the most helpful imho) :)
I watched the shortened version first and now that I've seen the whole performance, as a musician myself, my ranking has changed. Summer is still #1, you can tell how comfortable her hands are on the keys regardless of the shapes or movement and being able to play technically AND with feeling is a sign of well-practiced talent. Mary moved up to #2 for me. No doubt she has an amazing voice and the guitar playing was solid but nothing crazy. But they didn't show her playing keys and singing in the other video and that showed a much broader range of talent in vocal control and as extra instrument. Daniel moved up to #3 for me because they only showed him going ham on the cymbal and as a drummer myself, I thought "ok, a little sloppy and this guy just knows how to beat the crap out of a kit" but here he had WAY more range and showed off some subtle stuff that only a well-practice drummer can do naturally. So he actually is good. Sedo got bumped to #4 only because they did actually show his best performance in the shorter video. He's a really talented pianist and if I could he'd be tied for #3 but the longer performance didn't wow me like some of the others did. Michael dropped to #5 after hearing the increased talent from some of the others because while he picked up the most instruments here, each one was an example of "I have this instrument and I spent a few hours learning to play it" rather than some others who have serious proficiency with their Instruments. Though the guitar playing was solid and he can probably do more, he didn't show it here. And Julius owning the number 6 spot because his talent is raw. Clearly a musical guy and had great artistic talent and all the praise for his songwriting is well deserved but he showed piano and voice, neither of which he had serious crafted talent in. They weren't bad but he hasn't practiced like the rest of the musicians here. It has tons of potential, but is raw as it sits on the stage there.
Summer, Mary, and Sedo impressed me the most. And this is coming from someone who’s been singing in a 100+ person choir since middle school. Seep’s voice was good, and woulda been so much nicer if her wasn’t so nervous. Summer was extremely skilled in the Piano and was definitely the best. And Mary had a beautiful voice.
i feel Daniel and Summer absolutely slayed their pieces, even though i wish Summer was presented a better keyboard. the longer one to the far left doesn't look like one with weighted keys, which i wouldn't have touched either, but i also can't play my favorite pieces on anything less than an 88 key.
My opinion (I am a rhythmic pianist): 1: Summer. Clearly a professional. Stuck to what she knew. Great stuff. Just not much more to say. 2: Michael. Steady guitar player. Should've shown more of that. It's hard to show real musicality on an instrument where you lack experience. Even though he obviously also had practised a lot on the cello and pedal steel too. 3: Mary. Chose songs to get to show her voice, which was a smart choice, because she nailed it. Her guitar playing was also good and steady, but not too technical (only a few chords). Also stuck to root position chords on the piano 4: Daniel. A bit sloppy, and not really much variety. Clearly a rocker, which he probably does allright. 5: Sedo. The piece is not too technical, and it was still a bit sloppy in parts and not as dynamic as it could have been. But it was steady and good. 6: Julius. Maybe he's a better singer than he got to show here, but it was sadly not that great here. Maybe it even was harder to sing as he tried to do it while playing an instrument he just started learning. Was really unsure about if I should switch Michael and Mary. But it doesn't matter, both did good.
I know a Jack of all trades makes a master of none. But it’s also not easy to get to the level of proficiency Michael had at each instrument. It matters less to me that he’s not a concert cellist or w/e. His passion for music is clear to me because of how many things he was interested in trying. He’s still no. 3 tho 😂 Summer obv 1 and the guitar girl is 2. Her guitar playing might seem average but her voice is an instrument just as much as the others are. And it’s CLEAR she’s spent years practicing and developing her unique style.
@@beccabrns1723 that’s not the case in music though. For music you need to be able to do something with it though. If you can’t pick up one of the instruments and do one well enough to put on a album or on a stage then what’s the point outside of for fun. The multi instrumentalist was definitely second worst there. No hate ofc, but he’s not got any real skill in anything outside of Guitar and the lap guitar was for show, if that’s the best he’s got to offer with that out of tune SpongeBob then he can’t play it.
1. Summer (No question) 2. Daniel 3. Mary (piano and guitar parts were relatively easy, I give her 3rd because of her voice) 4. Michael 5. Sedo 6. Blue hair guy Playing multiple instruments does not make you a good musician. It's not hard to get to a basic level on a few different instruments, but it's insanely difficult to become exceptional at just one instrument. I'd also say there's a pretty large gap between 4th and 5th.
I would say, as a guitarist (I'm not pro, but I gig a bit), Micheal fairly decent at guitar. The other instruments, however, he probably should have left them out
Playing and understanding multiple instruments makes you a good musician. The more instruments you study, the more you are able to understand them. You can write music easier for those instruments and you are easier to work with as well. His main instrument was clearly guitar which he played very well. I think he came off as showboaty though.
@@PhoenixSplash playing instruments doesn’t make you better though, it shouldn’t be rated as such. On a gig will the hiree ask the best guitar player to whip out their saxophone? Or bass? No they’ll place them on guitar. Understanding the roles of other instruments can be done through learning them or nit as well, it’s not a free pass into superiority like a lot of people think it is if you can play more than one instrument. After all if you’re tryna get a gig but everyone beats you out for every part bc you can play 30 instruments but can’t compete for any of those gig spots bc your skills aren’t honed enough in any specific region then you aren’t the one making the money. No hate to the way he plays music though, if how he finds enjoyment in it is learning more Jack of trades kinda stuff then so be it
been a pianist, flautist (both grade 8) and singer (grade 5) for 10 years, here’s my best to worst ranking! Summer, Mary, Sedo, Daniel, Michael, Julius
He certainly wasn't terrible, but it is quite clear based on the comments saying how amazing Daniel is, that the general public doesn't really know much of anything about drumming. Fast doesn't equal good, and though he stayed in time for the most part, there was no control of dynamics. It was actually a rather sloppy performance. He certainly has talent, he just needs more time behind the kit
Exactly! I think that to the average person who knows nothing about drumming, the faster a drummer is, the better they are, and most won't hear the sloppiness if it's masked with speed . I was probably the same way before I picked up the sticks myself and realized fast linear chops are probably one of the easiest things to develop. Its the really experienced jazz drummers that blow my mind with their extraordinary dynamic control, complete limb independence, and the ability to execute very complicated subdivisions without losing the pocket. Those drummers are the real example of what talented and technically proficient drumming looks like.
my rankings 1) Summer (pretty sure she was classically trained) 2) Michael (probably writes music for tv and commercial purposes) 3) Daniel (Drums are hard) 4) Sedo (good at piano, but no fancy finger work) 5) Mary (to similar to other social media singers) 6) Julius (I feel like he's been on the top100, but he didn't show us much here)
It’s so beautiful I love it!!🥰 all of them are so talented. I understand the first guy doesn’t have much experience but he still has a beautiful voice haha
Ikr, I play double bass, this guy plays cello totally rudimentary level (nothing wrong with that of course like Mary said it’s not a competition) but he shouldn’t be ranked 2nd like a lot of people are putting him for it. Just having a lot of meh skills can’t put you on an album or stage ya know
Julius is definitely a great songwriter! You call feel the emotions he expresses in his song; it's nothing to take personally though when it comes to the lack of vocal/singing ability. One can always take lessons if they want to get better in that regard.
Hi, guitarist here. I'm not particularly fantastic, but I'm not bad either. I would consider myself amateur in terms of musicianship. With all of the introductions out of the way, I can say for a fact that Julius has a sub par voice and almost 0 musical talent. If everyone in the world learned three chords and knew how to put words on paper, then the world would be full of great song writers. Sorry for my rant but the fact that Julius is even being considered a musician is really annoying me, and it further pisses me off that he had the gaul to rank himself second. Sincerely, An Angry Guitarist.
Sedo 6. Plays one instrument and it wasn"t too hard of a song (only arpeggiated base line) Julius 5. Songwriting is not separate from musical talent. Good singer. He just learned piano and I suspect he plays more than that. Daniel 4. Great drum player. I especially like when he takes it soft and jazzy. Piano meh Mary 3. I love her voice so much. It doesn't take much to use open chords with a capo and simple piano accompaniment. She has a killer voice Michael 2. Plays a lot of instruments and genres. I bet more than we got to see Summer 1. Flute meh. Very breathy (keep practicing) Her piano was amazing. That is a difficult piece and she played it with so much emotion and and dynamic range. I appreciate this even more than the dynamics Michael showed though I suspect he would have been able to show that better were he not rushing to play many instruments. But as it stands, Summer is my #1
not sure if u saw the first vid but there was 2 songs sedo played, idk y the first one in the other video isnt here, i wanted to hear the full perfomance of that one it was way more complex but they only showed mia and sebastians theme here.
Thanks for this! Summer here :) I’m a total amateur on flute, I technically only brought it as a joke because the Jubilee folks told us to bring as many instruments as possible. When I have spare time) once or twice a month for an hour or so I’ll try to practice scales and breath work. Do you know any flautists I should follow for tips? Definitely would love to teach myself more and improve to become more of an intermediate player someday. On piano I performed an original composition that I wrote for my husband - hence the added emotion - titled “JFN” (by Summer Swee-Singh). It’s on Spotify / iTunes etc. in full if you feel so inclined to listen/stream/download/save/playlist it :) there’s also a music video for it with a string trio prelude on my TH-cam channel titled “JFN (with Prelude)” :)
I think blue haired guy rated himself so highly because of the emotional attachment he has with the song. Like how in English class, when you write about your trauma, you expect to get a higher grade. He probably thought everyone would say he was amazing because he expressed his emotions
First guy has potential but definitely needs vocal lessons to get where he needs to be. Second guy seems to soft and needs to pick his voice up. 3rd guy, I’m gonna roast you because I’m a drummer but fast doesn’t mean your good bro, slow it down and just feel the beat. Also he is not a piano player. I can play the piano and use the same finger technique he does in piano which means….we have no idea how to play piano right but we are able to do it. 4th chick was super lovely to hear. She got them tunes bruh. 5th guy, I’m gonna pull a Simon Cowell and say don’t sing again brother man, it’s just not for you. Although his piano skills was beautiful. 6th chick was good. I don’t know much about flute but it sounded alright….her piano skills on point though. Love her hand movements. Soooo smooth.🤘🏼 I personally pick the last one playing piano as a winner. That was soooo freaking smooth and beautiful. But second place goes to the chick that sang 4th.
1- summer cuz good 2 - Mary cuz good sing 3 - Sedo cuz pretty good piano 4 - drum guy pretty beast drums but kinda just hitting really fast 5 - mid guy 6 blue hair guy
Any decently well-known musician loves to Google themselves so to all of you who might see this, thank you for taking your time and facing any embarassment head on for this awesome video. Yes, even Blue hair guy, I hope he learned his lesson, both in humility and in the piano
I still think even after watching this that people are confused because vocal artistry and being a musician. they aren't the same thing... why was Mary ranked so high? her skills were rudimentary when it came to playing. she has a beautiful singing voice but that's not what the ranking was. I'm so perplexed.
Thank you!! She was awesome, but her lyrics left a bit to be desired. She has a beautiful voice but her guitar work was nothing more than competent. People don’t get that singers and instrumentalists aren’t the same so why did jubilee set it up this way? She seems like the tightest package because she’s closest to what we as a society listen to. There’s a girl, she’s singing and she’s got music with her. She should’ve been up against other singers. How is a drummer like Daniel or multi instrumentalist like Michael going to stand up next to that? Sedo showed such a vulnerability too, I think it’s what endeared him to the audience. Summer l think it’s been said, she was robbed but she also can read the comments ;) Julius, bless his heart.
The guy that played 3 instruments really should have just played his guitar for the full 2 minutes. Hes a fantastic guitarist. But not at all impressive with his cello or "spongebob ripping". But I love the guy he made me lol every time he switched to the next instrument. Boi said time to rip some Bach 😂
The guy with blue hair definitely sings and listens to radio music, and learned to play a few chords then considered himself a pro.
I can see why Mary was rated so high. They didn’t show in the main video that she also played the piano and sang.
And also because she's a singer.
It was also a clear yebba copy without individuality
It's cause she played something relatable, same with sedo. If the general public likes what you're doing they'll appreciate you
I thought her performance was mediocre and annoying lol
I wish they had a jam session at the end.
Piano girl / purple shirt here (Summer)! We actually all wanted to do that but they had to film a different episode as soon as our filming for this wrapped as they’re on a tight schedule. We all might eventually jam at some point though :)

@Gabriel oh wow, this is so flattering. Thank you for the encouragement! Yeah, I quit after a year so I could focus on school and piano, violin, soccer and volleyball lol (my parents were def pushing the extracurriculars).
I know my breath control has never been good (back in 6th grade and also now lol), but it’s been really fun teaching myself scales and figuring out songs by ear :) I still have the beginner flute with all plastic hole covers in; I tried taking them out to see how it sounded/felt, and it was TERRIBLE lol, so I definitely need them as a crutch :)
Okay now I get why Michael was ranked in the middle and not higher cuz I think multi-instrument playing = talent. The rushing may have hindered his playing
WERE YOU RUSHING OR WERE YOU DRAGGING
Multi instrument playing most definitely does not equal talent. Playing an instrument is a learned skill like any other. How well a person can play one instrument tells you a lot more than how many instruments they play. This dude played guitar well. So clearly he has some ability. But his cello playing was absolutely terrible. Painful to hear.
Like I said, he played guitar well, so he’s not without talent. But the mere fact that he played multiple instruments means nothing in itself
@@76JStucki Agree, I play violin and also piano and guitar and a tiny tiny bit of cello, but I practice violin for 40 hours a day and when I'm asked what instruments I play, I say only violin and do not drag about the other instruments that I only play to a begginer's level.
@@76JStucki why was his cello playing bad? It was good especially under pressure??
@@flo_ayala love that twoset reference
I think the musicians undermined their performances by trying to fit as many instruments as they could play under their given time. They would have excelled more had they simply performed the instrument they were most skilled in (of course, if they needed to accompany themselves with another instrument, that would be an exception). In a performance like this, less is definitely more.
Exactly! People put too much stock in the ability to play multiple instruments with no regard for how well they are played. Jack of all trades, master of none is how it usually works out
Especially the guy that kept talking about the amount of instruments
It was said by the second guy and Summer that they were told specifically to showcase every instrument they could
Yeah I only clicked on this to listen to Summer. no offense to the others but her piece moved me the most. Someone please tell me I can find this on spotify or something
Hi! This is so kind :) So flattered it moved you; It’s an original composition of mine -which I wrote for my husband-called “JFN” (by Summer Swee-Singh). It’s on all the big music platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and Bandcamp, (etcetera).
@@SummerSweeSingh Thats amazing. The expression on your piece is everything. Im definitely going to listen to it. I cant play but I wish I could play like you. Thanks for the reply.
@@ashantigilroy1982 thank you so much! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 it’s just practice, practice, practice (and personally for me, a lot of that was ear training which I find to be the most helpful imho) :)
@@ashantigilroy1982 and thank you so much for listening to JFN!🙏🏽🤍
I watched the shortened version first and now that I've seen the whole performance, as a musician myself, my ranking has changed.
Summer is still #1, you can tell how comfortable her hands are on the keys regardless of the shapes or movement and being able to play technically AND with feeling is a sign of well-practiced talent.
Mary moved up to #2 for me. No doubt she has an amazing voice and the guitar playing was solid but nothing crazy. But they didn't show her playing keys and singing in the other video and that showed a much broader range of talent in vocal control and as extra instrument.
Daniel moved up to #3 for me because they only showed him going ham on the cymbal and as a drummer myself, I thought "ok, a little sloppy and this guy just knows how to beat the crap out of a kit" but here he had WAY more range and showed off some subtle stuff that only a well-practice drummer can do naturally. So he actually is good.
Sedo got bumped to #4 only because they did actually show his best performance in the shorter video. He's a really talented pianist and if I could he'd be tied for #3 but the longer performance didn't wow me like some of the others did.
Michael dropped to #5 after hearing the increased talent from some of the others because while he picked up the most instruments here, each one was an example of "I have this instrument and I spent a few hours learning to play it" rather than some others who have serious proficiency with their Instruments. Though the guitar playing was solid and he can probably do more, he didn't show it here.
And Julius owning the number 6 spot because his talent is raw. Clearly a musical guy and had great artistic talent and all the praise for his songwriting is well deserved but he showed piano and voice, neither of which he had serious crafted talent in. They weren't bad but he hasn't practiced like the rest of the musicians here. It has tons of potential, but is raw as it sits on the stage there.
Very well-said!!
bro the triplets sounded fantastic compared to him smashing the ride in the OG video
Summer, Mary, and Sedo impressed me the most. And this is coming from someone who’s been singing in a 100+ person choir since middle school. Seep’s voice was good, and woulda been so much nicer if her wasn’t so nervous. Summer was extremely skilled in the Piano and was definitely the best. And Mary had a beautiful voice.
The drummer slaps on drums. He should've only done the drums haha
He was actually completely sub-par at best.
@@funkyduck8958 nah he slapped
@@funkyduck8958 only u think that
obviously not a drummer lol
@@joritreisewitz3999 Yeah? Tell me what he did wrong then, drummer boy
Beautiful performance by Summer as always! A true professional in every sense of the word 🎹👑🤘
Ily 🤍
i feel Daniel and Summer absolutely slayed their pieces, even though i wish Summer was presented a better keyboard. the longer one to the far left doesn't look like one with weighted keys, which i wouldn't have touched either, but i also can't play my favorite pieces on anything less than an 88 key.
summer's piano skills are incredible
I love the drummer guy, he is just vibing with everyone the whole time. We all need a hype man like him
My opinion (I am a rhythmic pianist):
1: Summer. Clearly a professional. Stuck to what she knew. Great stuff. Just not much more to say.
2: Michael. Steady guitar player. Should've shown more of that. It's hard to show real musicality on an instrument where you lack experience. Even though he obviously also had practised a lot on the cello and pedal steel too.
3: Mary. Chose songs to get to show her voice, which was a smart choice, because she nailed it. Her guitar playing was also good and steady, but not too technical (only a few chords). Also stuck to root position chords on the piano
4: Daniel. A bit sloppy, and not really much variety. Clearly a rocker, which he probably does allright.
5: Sedo. The piece is not too technical, and it was still a bit sloppy in parts and not as dynamic as it could have been. But it was steady and good.
6: Julius. Maybe he's a better singer than he got to show here, but it was sadly not that great here. Maybe it even was harder to sing as he tried to do it while playing an instrument he just started learning.
Was really unsure about if I should switch Michael and Mary. But it doesn't matter, both did good.
Hey! Piano gang represent 🙌🏽🎹 thanks so much. If you want to check out my full composition it’s called “JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh :)
I know a Jack of all trades makes a master of none. But it’s also not easy to get to the level of proficiency Michael had at each instrument. It matters less to me that he’s not a concert cellist or w/e. His passion for music is clear to me because of how many things he was interested in trying.
He’s still no. 3 tho 😂 Summer obv 1 and the guitar girl is 2. Her guitar playing might seem average but her voice is an instrument just as much as the others are. And it’s CLEAR she’s spent years practicing and developing her unique style.
Clear copy of Yebba and no individuality of her own voice
The complete saying was originally: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
@@beccabrns1723 that’s not the case in music though. For music you need to be able to do something with it though. If you can’t pick up one of the instruments and do one well enough to put on a album or on a stage then what’s the point outside of for fun. The multi instrumentalist was definitely second worst there. No hate ofc, but he’s not got any real skill in anything outside of Guitar and the lap guitar was for show, if that’s the best he’s got to offer with that out of tune SpongeBob then he can’t play it.
Fuck no his cello play was not good.
1. Summer (No question)
2. Daniel
3. Mary (piano and guitar parts were relatively easy, I give her 3rd because of her voice)
4. Michael
5. Sedo
6. Blue hair guy
Playing multiple instruments does not make you a good musician. It's not hard to get to a basic level on a few different instruments, but it's insanely difficult to become exceptional at just one instrument. I'd also say there's a pretty large gap between 4th and 5th.
I would say, as a guitarist (I'm not pro, but I gig a bit), Micheal fairly decent at guitar. The other instruments, however, he probably should have left them out
Playing and understanding multiple instruments makes you a good musician. The more instruments you study, the more you are able to understand them. You can write music easier for those instruments and you are easier to work with as well. His main instrument was clearly guitar which he played very well. I think he came off as showboaty though.
@@PhoenixSplash playing instruments doesn’t make you better though, it shouldn’t be rated as such. On a gig will the hiree ask the best guitar player to whip out their saxophone? Or bass? No they’ll place them on guitar. Understanding the roles of other instruments can be done through learning them or nit as well, it’s not a free pass into superiority like a lot of people think it is if you can play more than one instrument. After all if you’re tryna get a gig but everyone beats you out for every part bc you can play 30 instruments but can’t compete for any of those gig spots bc your skills aren’t honed enough in any specific region then you aren’t the one making the money. No hate to the way he plays music though, if how he finds enjoyment in it is learning more Jack of trades kinda stuff then so be it
been a pianist, flautist (both grade 8) and singer (grade 5) for 10 years, here’s my best to worst ranking! Summer, Mary, Sedo, Daniel, Michael, Julius
You should also do a video where they all write a song together! Or just have a random jam session
Summer’s piece was a damn journey
Thank you! My piano piece was an original “JFN” by Summer Swee-Singh :)
My rating:
Clear and obvious first: Summer
2nd: Daniel
3rd: Michael
4th: Mary
5th: Sedo
6th: Julius
Does anyone know the name of the song Summer played on the piano? It's so pretty...
Thank you! I played an original composition of mine called "JFN" (it's on Spotify/iTunes etc. under my full name - Summer Swee-Singh)
@@SummerSweeSingh that performance was amazing!
@@SummerSweeSingh you're incredible!! 💕
@@SummerSweeSingh you’re amazing! The Jubilee followers have no idea what they’re talking about. 👏🔥
the intro sounds like lady grinning soul by david bowie though, anyone else hear it?
Blue haired guy's song sound like everything pop song from the last 20 years.
I personally liked him the best after summer. Others played instruments but couldn’t sing
Mary was second in vocals
Blue hair first
@@YisraelPrince what?…..
Honestly I liked the blue hair guys voice and lyrics he just was a bit too cocky placing himself above the others who clearly have more experience
Summer is clearly number 1
He certainly wasn't terrible, but it is quite clear based on the comments saying how amazing Daniel is, that the general public doesn't really know much of anything about drumming.
Fast doesn't equal good, and though he stayed in time for the most part, there was no control of dynamics. It was actually a rather sloppy performance.
He certainly has talent, he just needs more time behind the kit
Exactly! I think that to the average person who knows nothing about drumming, the faster a drummer is, the better they are, and most won't hear the sloppiness if it's masked with speed . I was probably the same way before I picked up the sticks myself and realized fast linear chops are probably one of the easiest things to develop. Its the really experienced jazz drummers that blow my mind with their extraordinary dynamic control, complete limb independence, and the ability to execute very complicated subdivisions without losing the pocket. Those drummers are the real example of what talented and technically proficient drumming looks like.
No matter how good they are, a real musician will always say they suck lmao
I've been classically trained for years and I think Summer is actually really good!
Yes but a real musician would also where they stand with their skill level especially compared to some of the amateurs in this video
damn after watching this i'll change my ranking
1 purple girl
2 curly girl
tied 3/4 drummer & boy pianist
5 multi instrument guy
6 blue haired guy
my rankings
1) Summer (pretty sure she was classically trained)
2) Michael (probably writes music for tv and commercial purposes)
3) Daniel (Drums are hard)
4) Sedo (good at piano, but no fancy finger work)
5) Mary (to similar to other social media singers)
6) Julius (I feel like he's been on the top100, but he didn't show us much here)
These would be my rankings as well!
By your logic summer is to similar to other social media pianists
@@beamer9872 but she is a TH-camr. Have you watched her
Love how the most replayed part of the video is right after the Blue Guy finishes
It’s so beautiful I love it!!🥰 all of them are so talented. I understand the first guy doesn’t have much experience but he still has a beautiful voice haha
He has a beautiful voice but terrible technique 😬
Summer was absolutely incredible. By far she is my number 1. Out of all of them she made me feel the music and the emotions sm more.
blue-haired guy seems like the type of guy to remind the teacher of the homework
I love Mary's voice. Sad i dont know where to find her
same here
i’m surprised they didn’t credit the people or songs they played anywhere
@@amariza9013 in the description they credited Sedo and Summer’s Instagrams. The rest probably don’t have it
@@Narra0002 they updated it :)
@@maryshemusic nice
Summer was amazing as well omg
As a cellist myself looking at how that guy played the cello was both bizzare and fascinating. Fingers completely flat......
Ikr, I play double bass, this guy plays cello totally rudimentary level (nothing wrong with that of course like Mary said it’s not a competition) but he shouldn’t be ranked 2nd like a lot of people are putting him for it. Just having a lot of meh skills can’t put you on an album or stage ya know
Go off Mary! 👏❤️
drummer boy vibin to mary singing was so wholesome
Mary was insane, loved it x
Love how Sedo is digging the drummers vibes
The only decent musician here is Summer.
The rest is still in this „I wanna be exactly like my favourite musician!“
Oh my gosh! Summer was the only one that blew my socks off! Wow 😳
Came here for summer🙌. Had to hear the complete piece
1. Summer
2. Mary
3. Daniel
4. Sedo
5. Michael
6. Blue hair guy
By God you should have made them do an ensemble at the end would've been pretty neat.
Yeeeeeee my thought exactly
me personally, I would rank Summer number 1, Michael number 2, Daniel number 3, Mary number 4, Sedo number 5, and Julius number 6
Julius is definitely a great songwriter! You call feel the emotions he expresses in his song; it's nothing to take personally though when it comes to the lack of vocal/singing ability. One can always take lessons if they want to get better in that regard.
Yep. He is a skilled songwriter but rookie as hell in terms of musicianship.
Hi, guitarist here. I'm not particularly fantastic, but I'm not bad either. I would consider myself amateur in terms of musicianship.
With all of the introductions out of the way, I can say for a fact that Julius has a sub par voice and almost 0 musical talent. If everyone in the world learned three chords and knew how to put words on paper, then the world would be full of great song writers.
Sorry for my rant but the fact that Julius is even being considered a musician is really annoying me, and it further pisses me off that he had the gaul to rank himself second.
Sincerely,
An Angry Guitarist.
am I the only one who thinks that his song was mediocre at best?
completely disagree, look at alfie burns comment for a fairer more honest judgment
poetry is another type of art
this change everything.
My man Sonic really ranked summer 5 and himself 2, really?
In music, it should always be quality over quantity.
sedo was so nervous but he was so good it was cute
🤎🤎🤎
Damn the most replayed bit in the video is everyone skipping blue hair guy💀
Seeing all their hands shake while they play the keyboard hits a weird memory I don’t own
BRO THE CELLIST IS SO BADDD WHAT HE EVEN ALMOST SNAPPED HIS BOW IN HALF WTFUDGE
BLUE HAIRED GUY LOWKEY LOOKED SO PISSED AT THE END OF EVERY PERFORMANCE 😭😭😭
Sedo 6. Plays one instrument and it wasn"t too hard of a song (only arpeggiated base line)
Julius 5. Songwriting is not separate from musical talent. Good singer. He just learned piano and I suspect he plays more than that.
Daniel 4. Great drum player. I especially like when he takes it soft and jazzy. Piano meh
Mary 3. I love her voice so much. It doesn't take much to use open chords with a capo and simple piano accompaniment. She has a killer voice
Michael 2. Plays a lot of instruments and genres. I bet more than we got to see
Summer 1. Flute meh. Very breathy (keep practicing) Her piano was amazing. That is a difficult piece and she played it with so much emotion and and dynamic range. I appreciate this even more than the dynamics Michael showed though I suspect he would have been able to show that better were he not rushing to play many instruments. But as it stands, Summer is my #1
not sure if u saw the first vid but there was 2 songs sedo played, idk y the first one in the other video isnt here, i wanted to hear the full perfomance of that one it was way more complex but they only showed mia and sebastians theme here.
You're obviously not a drummer, Daniel sucked
Thanks for this! Summer here :) I’m a total amateur on flute, I technically only brought it as a joke because the Jubilee folks told us to bring as many instruments as possible. When I have spare time) once or twice a month for an hour or so I’ll try to practice scales and breath work. Do you know any flautists I should follow for tips? Definitely would love to teach myself more and improve to become more of an intermediate player someday.
On piano I performed an original composition that I wrote for my husband - hence the added emotion - titled “JFN” (by Summer Swee-Singh). It’s on Spotify / iTunes etc. in full if you feel so inclined to listen/stream/download/save/playlist it :) there’s also a music video for it with a string trio prelude on my TH-cam channel titled “JFN (with Prelude)” :)
@@SummerSweeSingh I will definitely download it thanks! I'm about the same on flute as I only played in high school lol.
@@SummerSweeSingh Katie Flute on TH-cam is someone I watch
Twoset need to react to this as well!
I think blue haired guy rated himself so highly because of the emotional attachment he has with the song. Like how in English class, when you write about your trauma, you expect to get a higher grade. He probably thought everyone would say he was amazing because he expressed his emotions
MORE OF THIS PLEASE
Summer should be out here writing soundtracks for movies
First guy has potential but definitely needs vocal lessons to get where he needs to be.
Second guy seems to soft and needs to pick his voice up.
3rd guy, I’m gonna roast you because I’m a drummer but fast doesn’t mean your good bro, slow it down and just feel the beat. Also he is not a piano player. I can play the piano and use the same finger technique he does in piano which means….we have no idea how to play piano right but we are able to do it.
4th chick was super lovely to hear. She got them tunes bruh.
5th guy, I’m gonna pull a Simon Cowell and say don’t sing again brother man, it’s just not for you. Although his piano skills was beautiful.
6th chick was good. I don’t know much about flute but it sounded alright….her piano skills on point though. Love her hand movements. Soooo smooth.🤘🏼
I personally pick the last one playing piano as a winner. That was soooo freaking smooth and beautiful. But second place goes to the chick that sang 4th.
Great, Jubilee! If you released the full discussions in your more contentious videos that would rock, too 👍
Omg I can’t believe I wanted to hear the blue hair guys performance but stayed after hearing “never going back again” ❤
7:31 me in front of a mirror pretending to sing to my crush 😂
Blue haired guy is a great example of the Dunning Kruger effect
I feel like twoset should react to this
This video explains why people rated the singer so highly!
Summer is the best, she is clearly trained, practices and I would not be surprised if she works professionally.
I LOVED Daniel and Mary's performances. The drums have always resonated with me and I could listen to Mary's voice forever
Summer might be the only real pianist there
bruh the girl that sang if i aint got you just blew me away with that voice
i'm in love with the black girl but asian girl WHAT?? SHES DOING THAT WITH HER FINGERS???? bruh
1- summer cuz good
2 - Mary cuz good sing
3 - Sedo cuz pretty good piano
4 - drum guy pretty beast drums but kinda just hitting really fast
5 - mid guy
6 blue hair guy
Summer is an easy #1
Michael was doing the wrong cello fingerings, using finger 3 to play the c in the E string when it's supposed to be played with finger 2 💀
Ah, so that explains why he used his 4th finger to play the F# on the D string instead of his 3rd
1:05 “free me from mice..”” 🐭
Any decently well-known musician loves to Google themselves so to all of you who might see this, thank you for taking your time and facing any embarassment head on for this awesome video. Yes, even Blue hair guy, I hope he learned his lesson, both in humility and in the piano
Man in the white shirt was terrified I’m so sorry for him cos his voice was soo cook
Came here for Summer and Summer only
I still think even after watching this that people are confused because vocal artistry and being a musician. they aren't the same thing... why was Mary ranked so high? her skills were rudimentary when it came to playing. she has a beautiful singing voice but that's not what the ranking was. I'm so perplexed.
Agreed, but non-musicians just see what they like. I do love her voice and style but it doesn't take much to play what she did
the musicians themselves ranked her highest too?
Thank you!! She was awesome, but her lyrics left a bit to be desired.
She has a beautiful voice but her guitar work was nothing more than competent.
People don’t get that singers and instrumentalists aren’t the same so why did jubilee set it up this way?
She seems like the tightest package because she’s closest to what we as a society listen to.
There’s a girl, she’s singing and she’s got music with her.
She should’ve been up against other singers.
How is a drummer like Daniel or multi instrumentalist like Michael going to stand up next to that?
Sedo showed such a vulnerability too, I think it’s what endeared him to the audience.
Summer l think it’s been said, she was robbed but she also can read the comments ;)
Julius, bless his heart.
singing is music therefore singers are musicians
Vocalists are musicians too
Me watching talented people while only being able to play the Kazzoo
Summer is the best
whats the piece at 9:37?
The guy that played 3 instruments really should have just played his guitar for the full 2 minutes. Hes a fantastic guitarist. But not at all impressive with his cello or "spongebob ripping". But I love the guy he made me lol every time he switched to the next instrument. Boi said time to rip some Bach 😂
the last girl and the drummer guy had to be the 1st and 2nd wtf
