Oh lord, I don’t know if I can watch this.

Pour some (cheap) whiskey and enjoy!

What really got me is how totally unaware these people are of how bad they really are.

[Mik]

At least I know how pathetic my playing is.

Not exactly a badge I wear proudly, but still.

Didn’t watch. Did they have the Miss SD that played Pirates of the Caribbean?

Nope. Worth the Scotch to watch the others however.

Definitely need a drink or ten. Gets worse as the video goes on.

That being said. This reminds me of nightmares a pianist has. She says as much around 13:30.

I’ve never been one for playing in public so I won’t judge these performances as harshly.

[Doctor Phibes]

That's one of the funniest videos I've watched in a while.

Who on earth advises these women to pick these pieces?

It seems they are all playing song a step or two beyond their actual ability/accomplishment. If they just worked on pieces they could play with ease (and layed off the pedal) maybe they'd sound a bit better. I personally liked Miss Wyoming--that Yuja Wang works for me.
