I don’t think people understand how hard this is to do. These are the real Americas got talent acts
You don’t think people understand how hard this is to do....? But you do though...?
I'll bet people wish they were as smart as you.....😂😂
Thx!
Yea, because it is not. Every experienced player can do this. And then thre are people who play actually 100x better and are exceptional. Obviously, playing the card with kids, parents, follwoing dreams..marketing loves it
Agreeee this is master piece
@Isaac Hunt but no one wants to be as sad as you 😢
I love when people shred on the violin it’s an incredible talent
His style of music is similar to Lindsey Sterling, violin rock. But, the way he performs is like Tyler and Brian who moves their body energetically when they're in their elements and bring the energy to the audience.
Why is this funny to me like I read it as a joke😂
This guys streams on twitch he is legit
Shades of Papa John Creech.
Daym, this legitimately made a tear fall from my eye. This man has so much passion in what he does and played an absolute monster cover. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Been watching him on TikTok for a while and he's nothing short of incredible. He adds so much to every song he touches. Phenomenal human, exceptional musician... Hope they realize what he brings to the table.
What is his tk pls
at this point we already know that what he brings to the table are keys
@Willison do Carmo and creating another fable 😂
I also found this guy on ttk and he is a super nice dude, plays requests and engages with peoples comments (in between songs of corse) and has a super positive vibe 😊
the only tiktoker where i'll actually watch their live
I've played the violin for 62 years. It's a passion that is unmatchable.
Phillip has an absolutely amazing talent!
I hope he uses it wisely.
That wasn't switching between genres, that literally how the song goes.
@josh pring where did he say that?
@KEYCI oh my reply must've gone on the wrong comment
@KEYCI actually i think janice may have edited her comment.
Unmatchable hahaha that’s entirely a matter of opinion.
Philip, I just want you to know I gave you a standing ovation at home in my bedroom. I'm disabled, but I got to my feet for you because you deserved it. Loved the way you kicked the hat and kept going! I know your kids are proud of their papa!
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ 😂😂😂😂😂😂 e
@majorPUFFEN74 Why is that funny? Because you don't believe in God? You don't have to that's your choice but respect others belief. Respect....it's a wonderful thing you should try it sometime 😉
@brandonguindon7455 brandonguindon7455-It's ironic that you say this, while yes they should respect other people's religions ( I'm not saying he does or doesn't ) the person in question that they replied to is most likely a bot or an obnoxious copy pasta that shoves their religion into places where it is unnecessary as seen here, he isn't being disrespectful to the religion-just the poster. Now, about you talking to him about respect. Why do you assume he isn't religious with no context besides a few laughing emojis before proceeding to attempt to scold him? I guess this would be less about respect and more about ignorance in a way.
@AnastasiaLocal I could say the same thing to you.....how IRONIC isn't it? 😄 I don't assume anything but even if he's not he should just ignore it and move on. And another thing I wouldn't consider someone who left an innocent comment such as that a concern or rather a "shove" to force people into believing what they don't feel is right for them. And it's certainly not obnoxious 😄 I think that's just the way YOU see it, as a personal threat or outburst that you don't like or agree with....which is perfectly fine. I have a question for you, however I'm pretty sure I know the answer already.....do you believe in God? Or are you religious in any way. What's your take on that
@AnastasiaLocal it may be a bot....I can't deny that, but if it turns out it isn't I think they have just as much right to be here and comment however they feel or express what's on their mind. As long as it's respectful and they're not trying to hurt anyone or disrespect someone else's opinion on what's been posted.....sound familiar?
I really love how he alternated between playing the violin as a violin and alternating it to play it as a fiddle while switching up music genres. That takes a huge talent, and he certainly displayed that!!
So that’s what it was. I couldn’t say what was the difference but I heard it!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
great ear
@Philip Bowen, do you have a YT channel? I would love to se more of your works. TTK is banned in my country so I can't get access to TK, and I can't be arsed to use vpn just for ttk.
That's how the song goes
The way you could tell he felt every beat in his core, the facial expressions…😮was everything to me❤❤❤❤
Repent to Jesus Christ “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Proverbs 18:21 NIV
H
Soooooo real and lovely
That was completely on point the whole performance. I love everything about his stage presence and his passion that comes through his playing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing! The violin is SO hard to play, and what he played was super-difficult! Well done!
much love
He's playing like two scales at once right!! Amazing
YUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what he played was not super-difficult (and to answer another question that will probably come up: yes, i play violin, yes, i can play it)
SOAD songs are so hard to play. Give this man a medal
I've followed this guy for a while and I'm so excited to see him on this stage....everything he does is incredible 😍 🎉
Yes! He’s so great
Seconded!❤
Never imagined System of a Down on violin. So good.
Thank you!!!!
Me too. Chop Suey!
the violin is so hard to play, even the basics. so this is extraordinary. violinists don’t get enough credit.
Damn straight it is! Loved this!
As a parent I felt every emotion that mom had watching her son. So much pride. Plus System of the Down violin style who the hell can complain about that
Agreed!!! Never thought it was even possible to play Chop Suey on the violin, and he killed it!!
West Virginian’s are proud of you Philip.
Your talent is a gift and your heart is your blessing.
Keep it up, Brother.
That was a pretty spectacular performance I gotta say
Thank you!!!!
@Philip Bowen Music You’re welcome
@Philip Bowen Music that was Awesome. I hope you got the golden buzzer from Simon.
@Philip Bowen Music
He’s so great on stage and seems easy to talk to….. loved this performance. I’d definitely pay $$ to see him play
truly appreciate it
What a down to earth guy! So humble yet so talented, such a tremendous role model for his children. *_Way to go Philip! Way to go!_*
Much love!
I'm surprised they didn't give him a standing O. That was incredible. His live performance is honna be so epic with the bigger budget!!
Got one!
He really feels that music & it makes him play even better he’s got a great talent ❤️
thank you!
Dude is awesome!! People really don't understand how hard it is to do what he just did! You killed it my man!!
I hate to break it to you, but it's not that hard to play.
@Yash Bhardwaj lol EYE ROLL
I keep watching this over&over!!! He played multiple styles of music.
This performance was wonderful! This artist is very talented, and his enthusiasm definitely heightened his performance. Plus, I love the fact that his mom and dad are so proud of him. Job well done young man, and you’re setting a wonderful example for your three sons.
The violin has always been one of my favorite instruments. But this took it to a whole new level! LOVE LOVE LOVE this man's talent!!
The violin is the one instrument I want to learn so bad. Whenever I see someone just going IN on one like this it's inspiring. So amazing
This guy played his soul out. He need that golden buzzer
Yes!!! I’ve followed him for a while now and I’m a violinist amongst 6 other instruments. Commend this man! He’s so kind and talented.
I watch this dude live on TikTok all the time. Guy has tremendous talent. Regardless if he wins or not still one of the best violinist I’ve ever heard.
much love!
You killed it as always. Your hard work is paying off. So proud of you, bro!
appreciate it kev!
Used to watch this guy on Reddit live back during Covid and he is phenomenal
Only about 100 years does an artist like Phillip Bowen come around! Possibly the most talented violinist ever! Great music 🎶 🎵 👌
I‘m sorry, but I really hope, you don’t mean this serious…
Try listen to Itzhak Perlman who was mentioned in the beginning.
He‘s great :)
And of course Hilary Hahn, Ray Chen, Maxim Vengerov etc. are too.
Nah...David Garrett hands down the best crossover violinist
Lindsey Sterling is the best I've ever heard, I'll have to check out the others mentioned here!
Love that he combined classical/bluegrass styles. Very soulful.
On a night of spectacular performances, this one stood out for me. I've loved upbeat, high energy classical music since "A Fifth of Beethoven" came out in the 1970's. Yeah, I'm that old. Phillip did a great job and I wish him well going forward.
I appreciate it so much
Absolutely FANTASTIC! He is sensational and GIFTED! Seems like an awesome human and that talent, PASSION and drive is unmatched! I hope he wins the whole damn thing! I live in Vegas and as a local, we don’t go to shows but I’d HAPPILY go him! This was so fun and entertaining to watch! Go Phillip!
Love his passion and what he did with the violin..very entertaining.
Incredibly impressive, and with such a great band, SOAD! ❤
I loved this. For real. He was amazing. I’d go to a show of his and I’m not a violin fan…. Until now.
I'm a huge fan for years and Philip always gets me... sitting here with tears in my eyes. Much love!!
Wow - that was amazing - real example of extraordinary talent that should be showcased on America's Got Talent!
Not even a minute into song and im vibing such talent this guy has
This makes me want to hear more, and yes I would pay to see this man on stage. Well done Phillip. Amazing.
I would too.
What a nice surprise! I loved it!
Fanfriggintastic Phillip ! I hope you win the whole show ! ✌️❤️🙏
What a talented great guy! I’m a WV girl! So glad to see this talent from my beautiful state! ❤ Go Philip!!!
I’ve been following this man on IG for a while now. I love his music and I love seeing him on this stage.. nice work my man
Get ready for more amazing playing. He has original songs, too!!
That was amazing. He will go far!
I hope the judges relize how difficult that music is ❤
It's not that difficult to play....
I've followed him a couple years, on social media, & he never disappoints! Amazing talent, either any genre of music!
I've followed Phillip's channel for some time. I love it when he plays covers with the music. The way his fiddlin' adds to Tennessee Whiskey is over the top, as well as many other great songs. He really is talented!
So amazing! System of a Down fan and couldn't love this more. Thank you!
this is so cool!! he's playing the violin like an electric guitar. it's so sick
Wow 😮👏👏👏 amazing performance ❤️
Spectacular performance young man!! Really enjoyed your show!!!!
Wow, he's quite a showman-at any age-he does prove it's never too late!!!
dude was killing it. watched 6 times and counting
This needed a Golden Buzzer!!!
Phil you are killing it dude. I’m glad to see you like this I remember u banging out fiddle for me at church just fooling around. Your killing it bro
I have been listening to Philip day by day on Clip-Share This performance is only the tip of the iceberg. This song did not fully reveal the incredible talent he has!
Incredibly talented....you deserve the standing ovation. Best of luck to you
thanks much!
He needs to do the beats for something like music videos or Disney movies!!! A major orchestra!!!
And Paramount movies etc
Get it!!! Grew up with that song. You made your family proud. Well done ❤
Hey Colleen, check out violinist Vanessa Mae!
Man, dude "violined" the hell out of "Chop Suey" by System of A Down. I love that band! Maybe Phil will do SOAD's "Soldier Side" or "Lost in Hollywood" in future performances.
So good, I was singing the song as he played it. You could here the words of the song from his violin as he played.
Omg his mom!!! she was so proud!!!! he is very talented!! ❤
She stole the show lol
Never thought I'd ever hear the Violin remix of Chop Suey!!!! He killed it!!!!
dang ...anyone who's ever held a bow to a violins string knows how quick that note can change and ruin the performance .....Loved it ...Bravo Maestro!
Mindblowing! Had me rockin' on this end, Yeah man, that was awesome! Your mama & pops looked so proud of you, made me quite emotional lol
I've been following him on TikTok for years. I'm glad to see that he actually got the recognition he deserves.
I like how he played it as if there are some parts that sounded like saxophone.
I'm losing it with him mom just bursting with emotion. She's so sweet. And he was awesome.
Love his passion and energy, totally awesome 🙏
Killin it always. love ya brother. So good!
EYYYYY
Love the sound of the mournful fiddle. Sounds like a hug from loved ones we've lost. Good job Sir!
Wow he was amazing 🤩. A true superstar after that performance 👏👏👏
I’ve been watching him record little videos in his room on Instagram for a couple years. It’s pretty cool to see him on network TV
Wow! They have some really good talent
That was simply amazing. I loved it.
Oh man that was good, great performance 💯
Wow man, That was so good! 🔥
Love this!!! Your family must be SO proud of you!!!
Uggggg! Philip! I’ve listened to this 5 times as of now! If you don’t know Philip, he does regular streams on TikTok and Twitch and has the same stage presence. Such a great musician and wonderful personality who deserves a ton of recognition! No surprise he got the standing ovation from the entire audience. Come see this consistently awesome performance 3 times a week.
