THIS LADY HAS OBVIOUSLY STUDIED MUSIC FOR YEARS WAS BORN A MUSICAL CHILD PRODIGY OR BOTH, SHE PLAYED THAT PIANO EASILY AS SHE WAS BREATHING AIR, IN THE SONGS OPENING I HEARD FUNK, JAZZ, GOSPEL, AND CLASSICAL ALL ROLLED IN ONE, SHE IS A MASTER PIANIST AT MINIMUM, THATS WHY YOU SEEN THE BOYS 2 MEN MEMBERS CONSTANTLY SHAKING THEIR HEADS IN MUSICAL APPRECIATION AND AMAZEMENT THEY FELT HER GIFT, I CAN'T PLAY A INSTRUMENT TO SAVE MY LIFE BUT I KNOW GOOD MUSIC WHEN I HEAR IT,THIS WAS GREAT!!!!!😄
This was a good performance. That woman KILLED that piano and Wanya STILL can sing circles around most R&B dudes today. Hell, these dudes still have what a lot of groups today lack, and that's vocals.
The Asian woman on the piano is incredible... Love her!!! That just goes to show that music crosses all planes when it come to culture. IT'S BEAUTIFUL THING
agree with that!... I'm also asian and agree that we (asian) are struggling to have those RnB ( Rhythm n Blues ) in our breath of playing music, in this version the RnB feeling is totally lost ... the piano sustains to much and flat ... IMHO ...
If life was as in sync as the lady on the piano and Boyz II men, the world would alright. I really miss this type of singing. We really need more pure vocalist on the seen today. I hope I see the return of pure sing before I die.
The Lady Playing The Piano has soul... I Love that music is not about what culture you are from, just that you have a soul that lives for music... I love this song...
She is adorable! I love how they're entranced by her skills. Normally, it's Boyz 2 Men who cast a spell on the women. The music maker controls the singer, as it should be.
Just came across this video. As beautiful as their voices are,the pianist had my full attention. She is absolutely talented. She has a little soul to her too👍
yes, the Little lady is a Japanese JAZZ Singer " CHIE AYADO " in 50s.. she had been tru really hard times in her lives,, in the US. married with a US. black man , had a baby there, gone tru D.V. ,divorced, overcome The Breast cancer. now, shut up, respect, listen. ladies and gentlemen! Thank you!
I dont know if you are using Google translator to translate our comments but we are giving her the biggest compliments and praise because she is a hell of a player. Maybe if you would learn slang or actually knew black people and how we speak we have her the highest praise you can receive from us for a person who is non black. So maybe you should shut up read slow and you could learn something. Do you know how many non black musicians would bask in our appreciation of their talents and skills. Many singers and musicians dont feel accomplished unless they have earbed the appreciation and respect of our people. After all their would be no soul or feeling to singing if it wasnt for us. Girl you need to recognize a compliment!
She played the keys off the piano 🎶 she rocking what's a drummer when you covering all that and the base at the same time this probably thee best song she ever played great jobs guys and Gal
The Asian woman on the piano is incredible... Love her!!! That just goes to show that music crosses all planes when it come to culture. IT'S BEAUTIFUL THING. I wish I could said the samething for the world and I'm not talking about outside of the US.
shooot. I think the boys were holding her back. She was killing that piano. She was ready to take that jam to the next level. The boys should have just let her take solo. Man!
Wow, only these MEN can still sound so wonderful after all those/these years. Wish Brian and Mike were there to make it even more special. Miss this music!!! ::sheds more tears::
Boyz to men and the lady playing the piano did a GREAT job! Talking about a group that can sing & a woman that know her talent..... P.S. Wanya can STILL get it. 😌😜🙈
WOW!!!! First of the pianist killed it, just totally was in the moment. And Boyz II Men SLAYED!!! The song was originally Boyz II Men (all 4 members) along with Brian McKnight so this song originally is a 5 part harmony and they transformed it to a 3 part harmony fluidly and with ease, not missing a beat! The Kings of Acapella. Their voices were made for each other!
I went and saw them in concert front row.. It was amazing.. Wish they wouldn't dance as much.. Their voices are amazing.. I wished they would have sang the songs like this.. Just focused on vocals... Still my favorite R&B group ever.. LET IT SNOW!
I love BOYZ!! I love this song by Brian Mcknight. Chie Ayato is one of great jazz singers in Japan. Her arrange of this song sounds nice. Thank you for updating this video!!
they are never change never to spoil.Perfect vocal perfect interpretation .Any way my eyes search mike and waiting bass vocal.Who know maybe will turn back.Thanks God your part some talent Black Angel explain your soul....
Their voices only get better with time apparently, it's simply amazing and this is one best renditions(if not best point blank) of "Let It Snow" I ever heard. You can see the pianist (Chie Ayado) is really having fun with this as she brings the Jazz swagger to this. Thanks for uploading this bossxxxx...
Man she playin the hell out of that piano!!!
Yes indeed she was feeling it. This is one of favorites from this Boys ll Men.

I heard a lot of Oscar Peterson voicings in there so she definitely has studied Jazz. She's a Japanese Jazz musician called Chie Ayato.
Her facial expressions at the end of that soulful piano run says “yeah I know I’m good”.😂😂
I’m in agreement she is outstanding on the keyboard.
My Favorite Holiday Song.
This was a good performance. That woman KILLED that piano and Wanya STILL can sing circles around most R&B dudes today. Hell, these dudes still have what a lot of groups today lack, and that's vocals.
love🎉🎉🎉
She was having a great time on the piano wasn’t she!!!😂❤❤❤
The Asian woman on the piano is incredible... Love her!!! That just goes to show that music crosses all planes when it come to culture. IT'S BEAUTIFUL THING
Boyz II Men has the tightest harmony and that Asian Lady has a tiny little Black Jazz musician trapped inside her body! Happy Holidays!
completely agree!!! love this live version of Let it Snow as much as the original!
Or, she has a little Asian jazz lady inside of her
agree with that!... I'm also asian and agree that we (asian) are struggling to have those RnB ( Rhythm n Blues ) in our breath of playing music, in this version the RnB feeling is totally lost ... the piano sustains to much and flat ... IMHO ...
😆 lol, we All human beings made in God's beautiful image.
If life was as in sync as the lady on the piano and Boyz II men, the world would alright.
I really miss this type of singing. We really need more pure vocalist on the seen today.
I hope I see the return of pure sing before I die.
That lady killed them keys man!
And of course, Boyz II Men killed them vocals...
She is a Japanese jazz musician, Chie Ayato.
