This TV Show Sucked!

In this video I talk about the TV Show "The Piano", The Piano is a new competition show in the UK where amateur pianists compete to perform at the Royal Festival Hall. Players play in train stations across the UK and aren't aware that they are being judged by judges Mika and Lang Lang. In this video I talk about why I think this show could have been so much better and why I think it isn't as good as it could have been.

Looking for some help with the piano?

You missed a main point of the show: that was not a competition and they didn’t know that they have been watched by Mika and Lang Lang. That made this show unique.

You sound like you don't really understand what makes good TV on a commercial channel. If 'The Piano' had only been about the piano-playing, and nothing about the player, then the TV audience would have been considerably smaller. Not too many of us would want to sit through an hour or so of recitals by a range of random unknowns of variable ability unless we got at least a little invested in the performer for whatever reason. So, on the contrary to your contention, Channel 4 got the programme exactly right and you need to try harder to understand TV programme dynamics and, more broadly, the art of sales and marketing.

It didn’t suck. It was great. I wish it had been broadcast in the US. Glad I don’t listen to sour grapes critics.

I missed the broadcasts (not watching TV) and caught the YouTube presentations of Lucy and her Amber Trust story plus her teacher demonstrating how he supported her. This was after hearing her play the Chopin Nocturne in B flat minor on YouTube, which had somehow worked its way into my feed. That performance was unbelievable, even if you did not know Lucy's back story and had not seen her play but had just listened. I then listened to her festival Hall performance of the Arabesque by Debussy. Up or down, these two performances made Lucy a well-chosen winner. I don't know if Lang Lang and Mika had a hand in the final judging or whether it was independently judged but the gentle dedication of her teacher, Daniel, and the rewarding performances given by Lucy could not fail to please. The take home message for me was learning something about the excellent work of the Amber Trust and then hearing Lucy enjoying music and having the power it gave her over her own existence. I never saw the shows on TV and they may well have sucked. The finale outcome and the declaration of the eventual winner was a home run by any standards. Now is the time for you to put your own ideas forward and see if Channel 4 will employ you for a repeat of the series.

I loved the show actually, but not because of the story’s but because of that I am totally capable of making up my mind of what I think impresses me or not when it comes down to music and piano playing. I did not always agree with the judges either. What I did not like was that there was quite many people we didn’t got to hear on the show. But as for a lot of things that you get to consume in the media, something you need to filter out that doesn’t necessarily will tick the box. I like that people in all ages could attend. And different types of music as well.

I actually loved this show. It beats the X-Factor and the other banal talent type shows. However, it wouldn't have been as popular without Lucy... Mid range reality competition show maybe?

I enjoyed episodes 1 and 2 but would be better with less talking and more focus on playing (us hearing)...the whole piece...

I agree for some of the people, but that lady with the red hair whonhad the autistic son wrote that piece as lullaby for her son as she found the piano was able to calm him down and put him to sleep. I think that is very important information for the audience when you're listening to her play (especially since it was an original piece) and i thought it gsve a lot of context there.

Who made you the judge? If you don't like it, don't watch it.

Very true comments, I got so annoyed because the backstory was painfully long and the piano to quick

I felt so let down by this show. The premise was that it was a 'public piano' and I was under the impression they'd just be watching completely unsuspecting members of the public, not hand selected pianists. Hardly a surprise that they can win a competition when they've clearly applied, filmed an intro, and spoke with the host of the show prior to playing.

The way Matthew tried to intimidate the other pianists movements got me rolling on the floor 😂

I agree that you can't really call any one artist the greatest of all time, even an artist the I really like , I wouldn't call the greatest of all. Also, I agree that talent/competition shows often try to make it all about a sad thing that happened to the contestant.

I didn't see the programme but was aware of it at the time of broadcasting. When i saw that yer person from Strictly was fronting i suspencted it would be that kind of show. But 99% of TV is melodrama, even the news . TV is essentially entertainment and I've no beef with that. I do with GOAT persons as if we can know these things. I'm happy with IMOs.
