It's kind of cool how he translates the songs onto the piano, but technically speaking, he's not that good of a pianist. It's only the novelty of the music he plays which makes him popular.
I find that when R&B, hip hop and pop songs are translated to piano, particularly the faster ones, they are incredibly repetitive and annoying. The simple way you can create a sense of building sound to a climax to mimic a pop song with the piano is with the use of heavy chords and pedalling. After a while it's just overdone.. That's just the nature of the piano. I do love his rendition of Buy You a Drink, though. I love the run in the left hand in the chorus. |
