    It's like I could hear Robin Williams' voice coming from the piano. Bravo.

    Finally a performance that doesn't have all the unnecessary theatrical annoying movements between the notes. Just a crisp piano piece played with conviction. Great job!

I’m very happy to have witnessed this amazing young lady. It’s like I’m 5 years old again with my Dad having ice cream and music. A gift so hard to capture to send someone back in time to the best moments. Thank you in the extreme😸❤️❤️

    Italian Lyrics:
    Nemmeno coi quaranta suoi ladron
    Alì Babà è ricco quanto te
    Il cielo ti ha aiutato, sai perché?
    La mia magia ha un certo non so che
    Adesso la tua forza è mitica e quando vuoi la puoi adoperar
    Saran finiti tutti i tuoi guai se questa lampada vorrai sfregar
    Ed io dirò, "Bonjour Monsieur, che cosa scrive sul carnè"
    Chiedi pure tutto ciò che vuoi, hai un amico, amico come me
    La vita è un ristorante, è come un gran buffet
    Perché tutto ciò che chiedi avrai
    Grazie un amico come me
    Sono felice di servirvi
    Siete il boss, il re, lo scià
    E dolci d'ogni tipo assaggerai
    Gradisci ancora un po' di baklava?
    Si vive in Serie A
    Dimentica la B
    Comanderai la servitù
    Per dormire fino a mezzodì
    Un amico come
    La mia leggiadria
    È la fantasia
    È stregoneria
    Questa è magia
    Sta a guardare
    Son qui per te
    Ma se dico, "Abracadabra, via di qua"
    Loro spariranno tutte e tre
    Avrete gli occhi che vi schizzan via
    Per le soprese che io vi farò
    Sono una polizza di garanzia
    E i problemi tuoi mi accollerò
    Non vedo l'ora d'aiutarti, scià
    E tu chiedi tutto quello che si può
    La lista lunga quanto la vorrai
    I desideri tuoi esaudirò
    Oh, mister Aladdin, questo mondo è qui per te
    E capirai che solo io
    Sono un grande amico tuo, grande amico tuo
    Sono il vero amico tuo, vero amico tuo
    Non c'è altro amico come me
    Un amico grande come me

    love this arrangement. is it written anywhere? actually a lead sheet would do fine, and save some time for sure. keep these coming!

      +Kristen Mosca Really? That would be fantastic! It's hard to find sheet music that's any good.

    This is phenomenal. Really. You could go toe-to-toe with Tom Brier and it'd be a fair fight, and I don't say that lightly.
