hahahahhahahahha
Teacher: The bell doesn't dismiss you- Charlie puth: -I DO
Under rated comment lmao

Charlie looks so exhausted having to display Perfect Pitch wherever he goes
Lmao no, he seems like he enjoys displaying a really cool talent he enjoys and a talent that has helped him achieve his dream job.
Yea I would be showing off too! My college music professor had perfect pitch. Wish I had it. I'm a music major but no perfect pitch. Boo...
@@KoraLynne Honestly it ain't all that great. Also Charlie was off quite a few microtones, so I doubt he really gives one lmao.
Or he’s too tired

You know everyone from his high school is coming out saying this is total BS?
Poor guy is going to sing random notes for interviewers for the rest of his career.
He shouldn't have said shit poor ting.
He’s a singer that what he does
Yall dont understand jokes do you
Lololol
i understand the struggle, i will say though that Jimmy did handle it better than a lot of interviewers, and Charlie actually seemed to enjoy himself, plus the rest of the interview wasn't just about perfect pitch.
Billie Eillish is 17 Charlie: She is a A minor
😂
Random Being trueee
@@user-so3nj7rj1d one year whats the difference
A minor isn’t a note idiot
I think a minor and major is a chord and not a note....

underrated comment
- Charlie Puth: Oh cool another interview. - Host: SOOOO... Tell us about that perfect pitch
You do know HE'S the one that chooses the topics right? Before going on a talk show, they call you to ask what stories you'd want to tell, or what you'd like to talk about so the host can work the conversation in that direction. I know, it makes you realize that Charlie is kinda a cocky, arrogant, thinks he's gods gift to this planet, fck boy...
Jimmy White ok
@@Jimmybwhite not exactly but sort of. The only reason they do these shows is to promote upcoming work, even though most hate doing them. Many guests are not even good at coming up with topics so the talented writers help along with production staff and the host themself to bring it all together., I worked for a network as a production assistant.
Jimmy White ok
@@Jimmybwhite he's a really awkward dude in interviews that aren't about pitch or music lol
Charlie goes to church Charlie: That's a Gsus
@@courtneyevie 😂😂
Del Rancho Beats This one. This was the one that got me.
HAHAHAHAHHA
this is hella good
this is one of the greatest puns i have ever seen! thank you for writing this
Teacher: “Go to the principal’s office!” Charlie: “Thats a G Major Triad”
ded
0:44 i think charlie heard the "woo hoo" and recognized the notes and tried so hard not to say what they were 😂
I just noticed that. Hahahaha
Me after watching this: Well i am going to go rethink my whole life and try to find myself a talent
Nicole Khella your born with it. He didn’t develop it
@@traze2963 I mean you may be able develop it by training, but chances are as slim as the chances of you getting perfect pitch in the first place
Honesty the most relatable thing I ever heard so far.
JRT You actually can’t develop perfect pitch beyond the age of around 6, regardless of how much you train.
Why do u feel the need to narrate yourself. We know it's you saying this. Stupid comment format and pointless.
Hi
Joseph Park *School alarm goes off* Charlie Puth: Oh, that’s a B flat.
And i thought he used he's perfect pitch to his principal so everyone could go home
.
The Official Andy Saenz Actually it’s in D I have perfect pitch too
I’ve gotten multiple classes out early at once by singing the alarm but I’ve never come close to getting the whole school 🤣
That's not a talent, that's a GIFT!!! I love him! ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah quite literally.
@Alan Laletin Clearly its not yours, he had everything grammatically correct. You're wrong.
Kids: *get famous for something being good at* School: your suspended.
"Something being good at" You speak like a caveman
@@b__c7538 , suprise suprise not everyone is white and has english as their first language
Lol I know it's a joke but it's a stupid one because everybody always wants to hate on schools. That was a fair suspension considering he let the whole school out early. 😕
@@b__c7538 deaf is my first langauge sorry if my typo isnt accurate.
@@anotheridiotd7703 my first language is deaf language so sorry if my typo isnt correct.
What kind of a teacher suspends a kid for a funny ass prank xD Edit: On yeah... the teacher kind.
Hey Pupsi
bruh i did the same thing 5 years ago and ended up sitting in lunch time all by myself for a week straight. Everyone was afraid of this big earthquake that had happened. We would do drills every now and then to prepare for the next one. my stupidass started glissando-ing. Broke out a stampede in the dining room.
Perfect pitch is what I want for Christmas.
wow no one here really noticing the goated man
Hey omg so like i’ve watched your pumpkin covers and their mind blowing :o
Charlie hears a noise “that’s a B flat” I adore and love him so much lmao 🥺💜
sriracha_the_dog_lover Charlie's NOT a dog btw.
sriracha_the_ dog_lover I’m not that much of a fan, but after this video, he seems like a very genuine and cool guy. His perfect pitch is very cool and funny.
@@shridhar6274 wdym, I didn’t say he’s a dog?
@@lukedowsing9532 ikr 🥰
I stg what is the obsession with perfect pitch? A lot of people have it and it’s being able to recognize a note like why do people freak out about that lol
When a normal person has perfect pitch: so annoying When Charlie Puth has perfect pitch: OMG WHAT A GENIUS
couldnt relate more ugh
If you have perfect pitch are really normal?
Lol I'm lucky whenever I show off with my perfect pitch, my bestie, instead of getting annoyed just makes fucking random sounds with herself, like banging the wall, or blowing raspberries With a lot of passion and excitedly asks me their note 😂
Ikr
It doesn’t automatically make you a better musician, it just gives you an advantage
the fact that i go to his old high school...
Wow
That’s amazing
r/thathappend?
That is sooooo cooll
Hold up. He always says he hated it. Is it really that bad?
it's not a charlie puth video unless they bring up his perfect pitch Edit: The most likes I’ve ever had before this video was -1, big thank you to my 18k new friends ❤️
Quinn Foussianes lmao
Hahahahhahahahahhaha
I'm so tired of it
'Cause Charlie Puth has perfect pitch :)
@@jevitamariasaldanha1618 then don't watch it :)
Charlie Puth is underrated for the insane things he can do. It sucks that most people just see him as another pop star on their radio
Perfect pitch isn't as 'amazing' as it is portrayed in the video🤦♂️
Guardo hm that’s why he has insane numbers to back up his work, makes sense. Go back to your shit job cause it clearly makes you upset I see🤣 dummy
Guardo oh also if you still have that disgusting pube stash I recommend you shave that thing you ugly bastard🤣🤣😂😂
Craig it's really not that impressive or crazy. it's like being impressed that a person can recognize colour if they look at it. there's a lot of people that have perfect pitch but can't recognize it because they're not musically trained.
Aleks I never said that did I? Lmfao
No one Absolutely no one: Not even the annoying kid in your class: Every talk show host ever: so you have perfect pitch....
@@mr.stealyourgirl1779 what the Fuck
Poor Charlie.
As someone with perfect pitch, people really do test it all the time
Charlie has the voice of an Angel
Yeah Angel of Death haha
Louis Tomlinson’s voice is way better ^_^
@@Ash_tommo Both have good voices...But Charlie has a better one😊
Sukanya Saxena No! Louis’s voice is unique and different But everyone has a different taste and I respect that ^_^

Charlie is so incredible he writes songs, sings and composes his own music. He isn't Problematic like other artists. He deserves a lot .
Artists cant be perfect tho, all of them have problems. At the end of the day they too are mere humans.
Well, dating Bella Thorne was surely problematic.
That's why Jungkook fucking loves him
@@eylemkeskin well we forget about that, Don't we?
@@samsalot6115 well yes
Charlie Puth: *Watches Porn* Also Puth: “That’s a lot of low notes”
GamingUnknown Hold up..
please stop lol
The scary thing is that each octave tells us about how old they are.
Wait he watches Porn?
I like the D69 chord
"I've had perfect pitch since i was 4" Audience: *claps*
“Two notes rubbing against each other” -Charlie Puth
**Tritones intensify**
its what happens so..
dissonance
I mean that’s basically what it is. It’s literally just a half step
Oh. I just realized tf
Logic: “I’m biracial” Lele Pons: “I’m Latina” Charlie Puth: “I have perfect pitch”
Mario well the other two are the ones that mention it, but with charlie, it’s everyone else that’s bringing it up
Everybody else: im american
Me: *_*farts_** Charlie: that's an F sharp
This madlad he is beyond everyone and he needs to be secured in an scp
Jude Alex what a scp? Lol sorry I’m curious
No Name200 just look up scp foundation.
😂😂
Other people: He's back!!! Me: His hair are back!!!
Waiting for it to grow longer
😂
SamsAlot yesss me too it’s so cute when it’s long 😍

Imagine Charlie hearing someone sneeze. *ohh that's D sharp*
Tyre: **pops** Charlie: that's A flat
I'm tired of hearing about his perfect pitch so I can imagine he's exhausted being asked about it in every interview.
Same...
Right? I think he'll run out of strories to tell at some point.
@Martin Dennis yeah, its kinda sad how he's always asked about doing voices in literally every talkshow. The man has done and is still doing so much and these hosts just asks him about his voices lol.
Fukk no , its unique and fascinating
It's the same with saoirse ronan on how to pronounce her name
The dude on the piano looks like that gif of the guy trying not to laugh
Miah Shontell he’s the guy
Oluwaseyi Akinpelu ok good I thought I was trippin lol
No honey you can just tell us you were on crack weren't you 🙆🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️
You’re trying too hard to be funny
Charlie: I got suspended for this. That one guys in the audience: HA!
We need people like Charlie Puth in our schools
Wait Charlie Puth has perfect pitch? I had no idea since he never talks about it
this is sarcasm at its finest
lmao luv this
eh it's not that he talks about it, it's just that that's all interviewers ever bring up
Yea also had no idea he could sing
@@captainberettas r/whoooosh
nobody: every entertainment outlet: cHaRlIE pUtH pErFeCt pItCh
CHARLIE PUTH is one of this world's music geniuses! ⭐
One thing every perfect pitcher has in common: they played the instrument at a very early age.
School: I suspend u Charlie: I am gonna end this man's whole career

Someone falls from a building: *Is Screaming* Charlie Puth: That is a perfect A sharp
Ending with a D flat
Charlie’s dimples and smirk does things to me
My cousin is Charlie's former schoolmate and this is legit hahahah I never believed him till now lol
Can confirm. It's actually really frustrating, and you get really sick of being tested on it everywhere you go. I went to college for music, and intentionally told no one I had it so I wouldn't have to be a pitchpipe like I was in high school. I hear pitch reverberating from lights, fans, cars, etc. And when someone is out of tune, it can be painful. It's a double edged sword. Believe it or not, perfect time is even more rare than perfect pitch- I've only ever met one human metronome, and his talents were insane
I wish I had perfect timing. I have perfect pitch as well, but not perfect timing. I mean, I’ve memorized some beats per minute when playing with certain loops in my music and knowing what bpm they were set at, so maybe I could train myself to have perfect timing? Who knows.
Charlie: Saw a 13 year old boy Also Charlie: That's A Minor !
Oh my God, my dad did the exact same thing as Charlie when he was in high school 😮Except my dad wasn't doing it on purpose. He was in class trying to imitate the bell (also a digital bell). My dad was a pretty quiet kid. Funny but not a troublemaker, generally, he was just in his own musical world. Anyway, he tried to imitate it, ended up imitating the exact pitch and length of the note and the whole class stood up and left like 25 minutes early 😂 The teacher kept looking at the clock mega confused and the class just awkwardly stood in the hallway waiting for classes to get out, not understanding what was going on lmfao My dad, not wanting to get in trouble just went along with it and pretended not to know a thing 😂
Poor guy probably gets tired of being asked about this in every single interview
Me: my car tyre explodes Charlie Puth: Thats A flat
I have a feeling he would be amazing at composing film scores on the fly.
“Is that the fire alarm !” “No no it’s probably just Charlie singing” imagine 😂
Charlie’s The Friend That I Wish I Had Had When I Was in School,Letting The Whole School Out Early,Awesome
May Ling Ling bless Charlie for going through the same situation 40 hours every day...
Charlie Puth isn't considered as a musician anymore, he's recognized for his perfect pitch.
1:34 Charlie's mouth is literally an instrument 😂
Everywhere..i just cant
He won't talk anymore
Like he used to
The fact he have perfect pitch AND it's versed in musicology; it's the clear statement that talent doesn't mean anything unless you prepared too.
Someone laughs Charlie: G sharp
Charlie looks like the baby of Channing Tatum and Shia Labeouf
😂😂😂
Cannot unsee
HE DOES 😂🤣
FACTS!
Who’s gonna win? Charlie Puth with how many times he’s been ask about his perfect pitch? or Saoirse Ronan With how many times she’s been ask how to pronounce her name? At this rate Charlie is catching on quickly.
"Ser-sha like inertia!"
@@rubenhernandez4097 I thought it was sore-sha. 😂
So it isn't seeor-sha?
Ruben Hernandez i thought it was sow-eersy
The real question is will he play in the next Pitch Perfect movie?
Boys wake up in morning Charlie : That's D sharp
Someone : *cough Nobody : Still nobody : Charlie : that's actually a E flat major and C sharp
Something about this comment tells me you don't know music theory
Brian ah, my favorite note, “Eb major” lol
@@thehoodlen yes and my favourite chord C# 🤣🤣
Brian oh yes of course, it’s just 3 C sharps and that’s it. Love it, very stable chord
@@thehoodlen music at its peak
I literally reread that title 4 times until I realized it didn’t say Pitch Perfect 🤦🏼♀️
That Story Reminds me of how I played a beeping sound over a really loud speaker that I brought to school & it was the exact same as my schools bell and so many people thought the bell had rung and I panicked because I thought I was gonna get in trouble, I also played a car alarm sound near a car at school too and my friend standing next to the car got in trouble XD
i saw him in concert ✌ dallas, Texas!! JINGLEBALL
Actually, I go to the middle school in the same town as his high school. Some of my friends’ siblings go there
Micah Seiler same!!!!
RFH
@Alpha Barry chilll😂😂😂
I live super close too, I didn't know he was from here haha
Aniya Aniya xDDD
No one: Literally no one: Charlie: i have perfect pitch
Lmao also everyone with perfect pitch is like this
@@stupidthingthissucks if we had high pitch we would brag about too trust me and why not it's an awesome thing
@@stupidthingthissucks Can confirm. I have Perfect Pitch though I didn't realize I had it until my sophomore year in college. Got a lot of telling everyone I have perfect pitch to catch up on.
Yeah right, more like... Charlie Puth: Every one: sO yOu hAvE pErFeCt pItCh??
@@abyss1230 You liar. You don't get perfect pitch when you're already in college
Jimmy handled the obligatory perfect pitch section way better than most interviewers do
Jimmy looks like he could be Charlie Puth’s dad
Charlie Puth has to bring up notes every time he gets interviewed.
Saq Yeah because no other artist has that kind of voice!
Philip Yean Mariah Carey also has perfect pitch
@@alanmatkovic3221 Yeah. That's what I said. No other artist has that kind of voice.
@@philipyean6412 Perfect pitch isn't about the voice
@@greenwaldian Then what would it be if it is not the voice? Is it his throat?
perfect pitch isn’t something terribly difficult and the countless interviews that paints him as a superhuman has got to annoy him
It is not learnable
Hate Biggers it is. It’s the same as learning the name of a colour. It’s relative pitch and his musical knowledge that make it useful. perfect pitch fades with age
@@Linnerd perfect pitch is not learnable. Its not the same as learning a name of a color. That's only used as comparison to that because of how instantaneous someone who is a kid can say their colors. You cannot do the same with perfect pitch. Perfect pitch is something u can only "learn" as a baby to 2 years old. Relative pitch is only possible. But they're two different things. And no perfect pitch does not fade with age... Ill send you a link to a very informational video on this topic and I think it'll be very useful for you.
it's a rare thing of course it's cool let them praise him their is no problem with it. I dont think you can do it so dont disregard him.
Lmao brother . It's a born tallent . It cannot be mastered.
i love how he has to display it everywhere so it’s gets more creative
Im just so amazed at how Charlie mimics a sound, not just the pitch. It's like he's a human recording device
We want a show called "Charlie Puth and the perfect pitch flex"
Charlie Puth: musical prodigy Me: self, we didn’t fall while walking today. Way to go! 🤦🏻♀️😂
someone: fries chicken Charlie: thats a G sharp
You’ll be blessed this year
I believe he is one of the most talented artists of this generation. He can sing (of course!), produce, write lyrics, beatbox, has perfect pitch and looks damn handsome!!😍😍
Why this the only thing they talk about wit him
John O'Neill lmao
Non musicians don’t understand having perfect pitch to someone who has it its literally as simple as us naming colours, they think its a magic trick.
Leathanach u right I play guitar, piano, and drums so I know notes when I hear them but every time they talk about him they bring it up and I’m just like it’s not that hard to do
Leathanach yup
I used to harmonize with the vacuum as a kid. Still do it sometimes. 😁
1:50 is that your idol? because its mine lmao
Every video I see of Charlie Puth gives me the vibe of “I’m not like other guys” etc..
Charlie puth seems like that talented kid in school who wanted to show off his talents but was way too shy to do so at the time and now that he's got the confidence he shows it off all the time
We used to do the bell horn in the little doorways of classrooms in high school!
lol i like how every now and again shaving your eyebrow comes back in for me it feels so late 90s
Somebody spent hours making that new sweater look moth eaten.
🤣🤣🤣...🦋

My first washing machine could’ve accomplished that in two washes.
Put some respect on bare knuckles
Wow, and I got suspended for humming “Milkshake”
😂 I found it hilarious when Charlie gave that story. The same thing happened to me in 6th grade, so I decided to fake the bell because after hearing it so many times I guess I got like the perfect sound of it and so I decided to hum that sound and basically everyone in class just left besides a couple of my friends who were staying after school. 😂 I never got suspended or caught and it was like the last day of school so I don’t think my teacher cared lol. I told my friends that were in that class about it and they just laughed
1:02 Jaws? That sounded closer to that interval in “Dream On”.
