American baking shows:I’M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS I’M JUST HERE TO CONQUER AND DESTROY
British baking shows:
I JUST WANT AMERICAN SHOWS TO CAST LIKE THIS.
Don’t cast horrible people who are mean and ‘competitive’ but actually just aholes- cast sweeties with talent. And have cute little string music playing, and real challenges instead of BS ones, and have nice judges.
I WANT ALL SHOWS TO BE BRITISH BAKE OFF.
Wait; American shows really cast people like that? That seems so counter-intuitive, since you want the audience to root for them. I don’t watch Bake Off, but I fully support how wholesome it is.
Yo, this guy sold his soul for this or something holy fuck
i feel like i just watched something forbidden for mortal eyes
I’m the black lady in the audience LIKE DAMN OKAY
So….do i go to church tommorrow or stay in?
MAGIC TRICKS ARE SIMPLY SLEIGHT OF HAND, USING REDIRECTION TO TAKE YOUR FOCUS OFF THE THING THEYRE MANIPULATING. THAT IS NOT THIS. IT SEEMS LIKE IT AT FIRST BUT THEN HE STARTS DOING THIS SHIT IN PLAIN SIGHT, AND LETTING US ACTUALLY SEE THE SHIT TRANSFORMING AND CHANGING PLACES. THIS ISN’T SLEIGHT OF HAND.
THIS ISN’T A MAGIC TRICK. ITS JUST FUCKING MAGIC.
Well, someone’s definitely getting a stern letter from the American Ministry for breaking the international statute of secrecy…
I promise to post, and tag you in, every single dance she does once the season starts. (Here’s hoping there aren’t any restrictions that would keep you from being able to watch them!)
Nah, I’m just messing. Thanks, @burgundydahlia! I don’t think it airs on UK television (since we’ve got ‘Strictly Come Dancing’), but I think there might be snippets on it on YouTube. Much appreciated!
Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
