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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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?
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
@@willisondocarmo9368 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.
@@joshpring1 where did he say that?
@@keyciannouncer8743 oh my reply must've gone on the wrong comment
@@keyciannouncer8743 actually i think janice may have edited her comment.
Unmatchable hahaha that’s entirely a matter of opinion.
The way you could tell he felt every beat in his core, the facial expressions…😮was everything to me❤❤❤❤
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ **** off
Soooooo real and lovely
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
@@ivorscrotumic3556 but no one wants to be as sad as you 😢
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.
@yangerjamir0906 click on his pic and it should take you to his page!
That's how the song goes
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!!
Never imagined System of a Down on violin. So good.
Thank you!!!!
Me too. Chop Suey!
theres violins in aerials and toxicity i believe?
That was completely on point the whole performance. I love everything about his stage presence and his passion that comes through his playing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I keep watching this over&over!!! He played multiple styles of music.
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!❤
West Virginian’s are proud of you Philip. Your talent is a gift and your heart is your blessing. Keep it up, Brother.
SOAD songs are so hard to play. Give this man a medal
This guy’s fiddle was smokin’! 🎻🔥🎻🔥
heck yeah
Get ready for more amazing playing. He has original songs, too!!
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!
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
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)
His playing is at best average, if you would play hour per day, in 5 years you can play as him
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
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
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!!
That was a pretty spectacular performance I gotta say
Thank you!!!!
@@PhilipBowenMusic You’re welcome
@Philip Bowen Music that was Awesome. I hope you got the golden buzzer from Simon.
@Philip Bowen Music
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.
Love the sound of the mournful fiddle. Sounds like a hug from loved ones we've lost. Good job Sir!
He stole the show!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Love that he combined classical/bluegrass styles. Very soulful.
He really feels that music & it makes him play even better he’s got a great talent ❤️
thank you!
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!
Wow - that was amazing - real example of extraordinary talent that should be showcased on America's Got Talent!
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!
What a talented great guy! I’m a WV girl! So glad to see this talent from my beautiful state! ❤ Go Philip!!!
Here again to watch again.... Philip Bowen, Thank youuuuuuuuu
He's so genuine. Props to this man. Incredible.
You can tell that his parents are very proud of him. You did very well sir. And, thank you for playing my favorite song.
The combination of Melody’s tho!! Amazing!
He was amazing. I came here to se it again. Just watched 3 min ago on live tv
LETS GOOOOO
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.
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.
I have been listening to Philip day by day on KZhead This performance is only the tip of the iceberg. This song did not fully reveal the incredible talent he has!
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!
Wow he was amazing 🤩. A true superstar after that performance 👏👏👏
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
Get it!!! Grew up with that song. You made your family proud. Well done ❤
I've followed him a couple years, on social media, & he never disappoints! Amazing talent, either any genre of music!
Such a Power House .. yeeeeee Philip .. you knocked it out of the park!!! Love it! ♥
Wow this guy is awesome! I love his attitude and how he embodies the song. Rock n Bows!!!!
I'm losing it with him mom just bursting with emotion. She's so sweet. And he was awesome.
This dude's KZhead is one of my favorites! He is amazing!
That gentleman is a fabulously talented musician, best of luck and much success to him.
I'm a huge fan for years and Philip always gets me... sitting here with tears in my eyes. Much love!!
Used to watch this guy on Reddit live back during Covid and he is phenomenal
I absolutely LOOOOOVE this!!!! He's amazing!! And his personality is just so freaking cool.
I’ve followed him on here TikTok for a little over 6 months and he always amazes me. He has so many songs that he is great at. Can’t wait till he shows them all.
Love this!!! Your family must be SO proud of you!!!
What a nice, real, humble, sympathetic guy! Wanna hug him :)
Much love from the D! So proud of you for the passion and following the dream 🥲🤩💝
Love his passion and what he did with the violin..very entertaining.
Fanfriggintastic Phillip ! I hope you win the whole show ! ✌️❤️🙏
@America...do you see the greatness in the family unit? Keep the faith, cherish your great heritage, and the best is yet to come!
Such a great musician and wonderful personality who deserves a ton of recognition! 😍🥰
this is so cool!! he's playing the violin like an electric guitar. it's so sick
Yesss good ol chop suey!!!❤ Good job big fella 👏🏾💪🏾
We was just in KC for the Big Slick charity event. Thanks for coming to KC. His performances will inspire other kids, just like he was inspired.
So proud of Philip!
His momma cryin melted me! They were so proud! He shredded that! Damn
Huge fan Phillip and you absolutely knocked it outta da ball park 🎉
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
Spectacular performance young man!! Really enjoyed your show!!!!
Not even a minute into song and im vibing such talent this guy has
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!
This guy is unbelievable ! They have been very blessed to have such a gift ! Most difficult instrument to play ! 🎉🎉🎉
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!
Love his passion and energy, totally awesome 🙏
Congrats Phillip on being on AGT! I hope that you WIN! I've been watching your videos for over a year. You're incredible! Good luck! 👍👍❤️🤞🙏😊 george 😎🤿🦈🐙🇺🇲 TEXAS
Very humble dude. He’s devoted everything to becoming a great fiddle player. I hope he makes it.
Incredibly talented....you deserve the standing ovation. Best of luck to you
thanks much!
I've seen him on tiktok he's so entertaining
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
Mesmerised. This is the definition of talent
I was literally cheering from my home as if he could here me 😆 loved it especially that’s it’s SoaD ❤
My head literally going back and forward love it !
This guy played his soul out. He need that golden buzzer
So amazing! System of a Down fan and couldn't love this more. Thank you!
When the involuntary head bob kicks in, I know it's good!
He is absolutely awesome!!!
Philip i look up to you, amazing to see u in auditions, great talent, im watching your videos daily, started playing fiddle myself!! Cheers mate!!
Found this guy on a reddit livestream a while back, really cool to see he made it on to here. Hes a killer musician, I hope he's proud of himself.
Incredibly impressive, and with such a great band, SOAD! ❤
This is amazing! I wonder he can make an appearance in Sesame Street! 🎻
Yeah!
@@DollyPardonMe701 nope - maybe only temporarily because of the pandemic. I distinctly remember reading articles about SS introducing new characters since.
He’s absolutely amazing!
Wow man, That was so good! 🔥
So wonderful; loved it!!!
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!
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.
And Reddit
Link pls
@@tinacarvalhoBodyandHealth r/PhilipBowenMusic
Amazing job, such a talented musician and to pull off a piece such as that on a violin 🎻 wow
I hope the judges relize how difficult that music is ❤
It's not that difficult to play....
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
MUCH LOVE!!!!! JUST GETTING STARTED!
