What planet is that girl from? That was amazing.

Adding video to channels (Bravo) - requested by Deano.

This unbelievable performance is made possible by the artists third hard, which she cleverly obscures from the cameras through precise use of her body, mirrors and a smoke machine.

This shouldn't be put in "femme" channel just because the pianist is a woman. It just means you distinguish genders and think with your dicks. This video is about piano play not genders. And there also is no "male" channel. Really stupid.

I'm not too savvy to what all the labels mean and I'd noticed that anything accomplished by women and even little girls got labeled 'femme' on videosift. If it's really inappropriate I'll remove the channel listing.

*quality the hell out of this video.

This should definitely be put in the femme channel BECAUSE the pianist is a woman. That is quite an accomplishment and that's exactly what that channel is there for.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Tymbrwulf.

No wonder she can play it perfectly. Her dress has been tied to the rehearsal chair.

you can see the wires going into her back (disguised as pieces of her dress)

"CRAMP!"

Her name is Claire Huangci, and she is either 19 or 20 yrs old, depending on which source is correct:

The future looks pretty damn bright for her, I must say.

HOLY MOLY FRIJOLES!!!!!!

LOL! So explain to me why isn't there a "male" channel so we can put every video that has males in it in that category? Nice double standards.

what a shame about the audio quality

If you want a "Male" channel, then why don't YOU start one? All you need to do is become a Bronze Diamond member, but insofar as starting one, no one else has stepped up to the plate.

Why not get angry about the comments about Tamara Beraia's performance?

I prefer her performance to Huangci's, but I knew it would be hard for people to see past her goofy body language. Somebody there has already made fun of her appearance -- with a little poking, I'm sure you could start a real argument.

If you're searching for things to get righteously feminist about, I think you'll find classical music to be a treasure trove of chauvinism.

There's the embarassing objectification of all female instrumentalists on their album covers: http://sdf.org/l/5ee

There's the fact that until the innovation of blind auditions, women had a hard time getting positions in orchestras: http://sdf.org/l/5ef
(I apologize for Prof. Rouse's being a woman. I don't have time to find an equivalent article by a male to satisfy your demand that women's work not be showcased.)

I apologize for being a pre-70s feminist. I naïvely believe a good way to advance the cause of women is to show them as the equals and superiors of men in as many traditionally masculine fields as possible. I'm sure your method of whining about vocabulary and jumping at opportunities to distort the intentions of others will advance the rights of woman much further.

Please do start a "mascule" channel so that you can mock men by posting videos of them playing piano.

That'll show us.

I don't think anyone here was mocking her -
I think we are all amazed at the level of talent she has, I would be equally amazed of the talent if this was a male playing this difficult piece.

It must be really hard to play, but the piece has nothing on Bach.

Great pianist, shitty composition.

Prokofiev repeats himself too much. Each moment should be more distinctive, or else it becomes boring noise.

If the female channel is "Femme", the male channel should surely be "Dude".

Upvote for excellent use of the "show me the hands dammit" tag.

No way man.

It should be DUUUUDE.

That would be righteous.

I can't even masturbate that fast.
