Almost beyond belief - I don't think this can be beaten

Impressive!

That's cute.
Not much music there tho... very mechanical to my ear.
But still...show that to the next guys that complaining about the width of their neck.

Have you checked out the other North Korean child guitarist videos? Maybe it's just me, but I find the whole thing a bit creepy.

To be fair, the girl in the video above actually plays with some feel. You don't see that in your typical "child virtuoso" type videos.

Something definitely wrong here. I can't tell if the videos are faked or what's going on but it just can't be right or good...

One of the videos I saw of a tiny little girl playing some complicated xylophone piece even mentioned her beautiful smile making the performance perfect. I hope the kids are having a good time and really enjoying their achievements but I don't have a good feeling about it.

Typical Korean kindergarten?

HAX!!!!!!

I bet if she misses a note, her parents will be turned into mattress stuffing...

 

[D.A.R.K.]

do you think her parents have been freed yet?

 

[Joe Gress]

Whoa.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

Meh. You get another one of these child prodigies every month it seems.

Meh. Let's see you do it. I know I couldn't. (90% of the posters here probably couldn't either)

So yes, it is impressive.

Wow - just wow...If this girl is 4-5 years old right now, imagine where she'll be musically when she's 20yrs old. Something tells me this is not the last we'll be seeing of her. Amazing - thanks for sharing!

Done right, it could be her ticket out of that hellho...ahem...country.

Just like the basketball/baseball/football stars in thw USA, it's great (also possibly lucrative) to be really, really good at something.

I guess the "my hands are too small" excuse can never again be used.

People don't know that Korea is the land of gods children. Kim Jong Il got 8 hole-in-ones during a routine game of golf, a world record. These people were born for greatness.

These kids are having a good time A Pokemon shirt AND Sepultura = fun ! Are they "prodigies" ? Uh, no. But they have some awesomely cool parents apparently !

Did I ever say I could?

Simple fact of the matter is with modern media channels "discoveries" like this happen all the time, and quite frankly it's left me rather dry at this point. I'm more curious to know rather or not her parents (like many others parents with gifted kids) are forcing this on her whether she likes it or not. Talented? You bet, but I could honestly care less at this point.

 

[BassyBill]

I just enjoyed the performance and appreciated listening to a talented musician.

I actually thought her performance was quite musical, and not mechanical. I thought she had an expressive feel, for someone who has so little to express. Granted most of the other "child prodigy" videos out there do have the mechanical thing you describe.

 

[Jools4001]

She's good, and, since in North Korea she's shielded from the internet, she'll probably never know that her guitar "sucks for metulz"

+1

Well, with her talent she could be one of the world's greats, joining a list of people that started with precocious talent just like she shows--a Korean Mozart or Bach story. I hope she makes it and can have some happiness with her talent.

Uhh, that is

if she does not executed at some point for suspicion of defection as she gets older and decides her society sucks. Many, many "ifs" in this child's life in the wonderful communist heaven of North Korea.

Makes me actually ponder the thought, is Reincarnation a possible reality?
