Bluejay

What you guys think of this young composer?

'Bluejay' Spreads His Wings, How A Young Musical Genius Scored A Major Recording Deal - CBS News

I think: good for him. I hope he enjoys the attention, because it'll soon evaporate. Too often and too early, promising youngsters are thrust into the limelight - hailed as prodigies and saviors of modern music. The problem is, they're not given enough time develop as an artist. There's no possible way this kid has developed a creative and individual voice - and he likely won't develop, until (if) the attention dies down.

"[possibly] the greatest musical genius to come along in 200 years."

Gimme a break. Ask me in 25 years if anyone remembers that random 'bluejay' kid who was one of the greatest geniuses of modern music.

I tend to agree with these comments.

I think Nico was running into some of the same growing pains when he was posting here... he was getting right to the end of the years when he could get credit for being "good for his age", and entering the stage where he needed to be "good, period". That's one of the hardest transitions to make.

And I'm glad I started composing far too late to ever have any chance of facing that transition.

what about Bb major or perhaps an E minor?

care to explain please ?

it was just a joke... the "A Major" in the title caught my eyes.

these extraordinary talents usually fade away as adulthood approaches, sadly.

:)

Perhaps it's because they don't push themselves into publicity, something I commend young composers about - develop, don't push yourself into publicity when you think you're the best prodigy in the world.

Exactly!

I agree (As always with Robin), and miraculously with Saul as well :)

I can only find it sad that a 16-18 year old goes into all that fame! Of course, Jay is getting at an older age where he can handle things better (be careful of Michale Jackson, Jay!!!!) but still, This has been going on for 3 years now! Which is SAD, SAD, SAD! (Isn't it the one that has Adler at his side?)

Anyways, let's hope that the right parenting, and right mind will keep him safe and sane...

Do you believe in miracles?

Nope!

Then how can you compose music?

By using his mind, something you lack.

By the way, this guys got nothing on Mozart, Mozart had 6 symphonies by the time he was 6. :)

I really hope he uses his talent and doesn't waste it

He's obviously using his talent, and no one's disputing the fact that he is, indeed, talented. My problem is with the fact that he and his talent havn't had the time, guidance or utter failures it takes to develop into a fully mature musical mind.

I kind of meant that I hope he doesn't get alot of criticism and then decide to stop because of it.

Oh shut up, this is a public forum

Oh shut up

This is a free country.

This is a free country.

I know, now let me have my free speech

oh wait that's right, this is a free country

Then how can you compose music?

In all honesty at some point I will get tired of you...

No way you will put me in such a debate, especially with you.

Jay is talented, no doubt about that. Does talent grows with time? Do abilities grow with time? Will a 30 year old Jay, be better than QCC? or hymnspace? OR the nightfly, or whoever else really? That is the only question for me, nothing else!
