Sing us a Song, You’re the Piano Man
Let’s close out the week on a fun “note.”
On YouTube today, we found a pretty good, alebit truncated rendition of Sonic Colors’s opening theme, Reach for the Stars. The arrangement is on a live piano solo; no MIDI here. It’s the work of a Youtuber only known as Simon, and just 13 years old. The kid isn’t bad with the piano at all, and stands to have a healthy career in music if he keeps it up.
Don’t believe it? Listen below, and do your best Simon Cowell critique in the comments.














Thad pretty cool.
Melody’s sounding nice, but the chord patterns just don’t sound right. :/
i think he just has a bit of miss key issues, but other than that, sounding very good =]
I think there’s a few errors here and there, but otherwise, AMAZING. This kid has some real powerful talent.
ofcourse its only on a piano though so its not gonna sound perfect but that to me sounds damn good! I wish I was that well coordinated lol.
wow i play gutair but not that good i only can do c,g,a and d
Props to the kid for being so young, but this really just makes me want to hear a professional piano version.
Just a little pitchy, dawg………..that was my best Simon Cowell. Wait, that was Simon Cowell right?
this kid needs more ear :/ sorry but its just “ok” almost good
I wish I was that talented! Awesome!
Simon Cowell: I think towards the middle it started to get…blah blah blah
Needed to be faster, and the keys needed to be pressed harder. It’s like he put no energy or soul into his work.
It’s cool, but the speed of the song keeps changing untrue to the original. Nice for a 13 year old, though
It was good, but I wouldn’t favorite or anything.
I’d rather hear a much better version with all the notes instead of missing some, but for 13 years old he’s good.
“Absolutely ghastly”
Personally I thought it was okay, nothing too groundbreaking though… heard better 13 year olds.
Meh, it’s ok but I agree with SEGAMew, I’ve heard better.
