Charlie Puth has to go through so many interviews where people just want him to use his perfect pitch like it's a magic trick and it's honestly got to be super annoying for him. How this interview should have gone: 7:36

the interviewer going 'wow!....wow!...' without even letting charlie finish his sentence.... this man checked out years ago and hasnt come back since
Lmao
"this man checked out years ago" LOL
13:15 Dude, when he’s cutting him off with the “wow...wow...” Charlie puth let out a pretty disheartened “yeah..” :/
Charlie’s actually trying to teach something he’s passionate about and the interviewer is just... not willing to learn anything.
He’s just like “Look I didn’t come here for you to teach me aight now let’s bang some glass”
Tattletale Strangler I know exactly how Charlie feels. I’ve been in that situation before. The interviewer clearly feels like he’s being made to look like an idiot but that’s literally not what’s happening, and he doesn’t have to just interrupt Charlie like that just to save his own pride
Charlie: "JUST STUDY."
Yes babe. THIS.
Ew don’t call him babe like that ew
Bubdiddly
Ok babe, whatever you say
Bubdiddly sure babe
You can’t get perfect pitch from studying it you need to gain it before ur like 7
LMAO, You learn the c major triad in Grade 1 piano.
Interviewer : How many sides does a triangle have
Normal Person : 3
Interviewer : TALENTT !!!!!
Interviewer: I DIDN'T KNOW A TRIAD WAS THREE NOTES?!?!?!? GENIUS!!
Ryan George: people have different opinions on that, I'm not going to sit here and debate, what I DO know is that rectangles have proven time and time again-
I guess that for people who don't have a Perfect Pitch, this is so impressive...
I discovered I have Perfect Pitch so recently, but I've never taken Music classes, and I started to learn the name of the notes a week ago. Anyway, I can already hit every note, but I take more time to think, and I don't feel as Power-Full as Charlie yet (but well, time to time).
But to be fair, most people aren't that accurate naming Colours (divide the chromatic wheel by 12, and you won't know exactly the name of all of them)... Just think about this:
-X: _"So, what Colour is this?"_
-Y: _"This is _*_«Purple»"_*
-X: _"This is not _*_«Purple»,_*_ this is _*_«Magenta-Violet»,_*_ so I guess you don't have Perfect Colour... sorry"_
You get what I mean? It's just... that, and we Perfect Pitch people have to learn exactly every tone of "Colour" to prove that we have it.
For my show, we will have Einstein identify squares from circles. Then, he's going to look at shapes, and say whether or not they are numbers!
Here's an idea: make it really hard on him and throw in a random triangle.
Stefaan Himpe no, no way. that would be too difficult
@@StefaanHimpe really making it a challenge
In what metric?
Oh, that's so accurate!

@@nickducos3164 now you know how retractable pens feel.
Charlie is being so polite but like the guy is being kinda rude with some of the responses
The problem is the interviewer is just a guy with a good on screen presence (he is enthusiastic, brings energy, is very personable etc) but hes not an interviewer. As soon as the person hes talking to says anything unexpected, all he knows how to do is ramp up the energy, which is how you get these brainless responses where hes like "YOURE BLOWING MY MIND, THIS IS MY GUY RIGHT HERE"
Like hed be great at hosting a show where he does an intro and gets the audience engaged before someone else does the actual interview. He just wasnt prepared at all to have anything close to a conversation, or even just to listen
I agree Charlie is cool
the way the interviewer turns to the camera to look 'amazed' while charlie's talking is honestly kinda rude, even objectifying. even if he is very talented, no one wants to be treated as a dancing monkey. just have a conversation with him about music.
@@realitities2 he couldn't even listen
charlie puth: "E G C which is first inversion of a C major triad"
interviewer: TALENT
I cringed so hard. it's just basic music theory.
OMFG same
Charlie is like just study 😂 (if u listened carefully)
dude its like grade 3 stuff
Like I knew that since I started piano and I definitely don’t have perfect pitch
Literally that unenthusiastic “I jUst sTudiEd” is golden
When they say they're 'testing' his perfect pitch, it's like they don't believe perfect pitch actually exists and think he's faking it.
A lot of people don’t. They think it’s just excessive, obsessive memorisation of notes and chords.
@@TheUKNutter it seemed like charlie was saying a lot of his skill comes from that type of studying, and his insane talent only added to that.
batcarpet12 Or he doesn’t understand what *not* having perfect pitch is like. After all, music is a complete different world with it - like a transformation. I should know, I have it also. I tend to keep that quiet though unless someone asks.
I can understand why you wouldn't believe someone who says they have perfect pitch. Everyone in the comments says they have perfect pitch I don't believe any of them. They want him to demonstrate it because it's very impressive
I just keep imagining my high school music teacher laughing the interviewer out of the room.
charlie: looks at the camera like he’s on the office
M. Yeeeees
His soul looking for help
lol
Which Charlie.

Thank you for pointing out that a lot of people don’t understand music and they literally treat it like a magic trick.
He triggered me when Charlie was talking about the different inversions of the C chord and CALLED IT A TALENT BRUHH. ITS CALLED MUSIC THEORY 😭
The combination of Charlie Puth’s faces and your commentary about how stupid the interviewer was made this hilariously educational
Drew Gulliver why are you everywhere?
Good guy here Man on a mission I mean yeah. If I walked into NASA and pretended like I knew about rocket science and treated the astronauts and scientists like that then I would be pretty freaking stupid 😂
Mr. Rewind 2 honestly just because I just really love music and UA-cam haha sorry 🤗 especially Charles tbh
@Good guy here Man on a mission Yes, but it's not the case, the interviewer got to make a 10 min video with one of the biggest artists nowadays, and decided to make it about his perfect pitch, the only thing he needed to do was google it, he didn't even bother.. As a result you get this kind of interviews, with no meaning at all, wasted potential...
Interviewer wasn’t stupid, just didn’t know anything about music. Doesn’t make somebody stupid
Charlie looks so tired of everything
He was smiling but his eyes were just dead 💀

I love that Charlie got so bored that he just started playing with his mouth halfway through

"most of us don't hear pitch in perfect color" *laughs in synesthesia*
I dont know anyone who has synesthesia but I find it fascinating. Y'all see sound? I love it. I absolutely love it.
@@spicynoodles1111 for me it's like i hear colors, which is why i can tell if something is out of tune. for example, the note B flat is indigo but if it's too blue then it's flat and if it's too purple then it's sharp. very helpful as a trumpet player.
@@celumbral9334 that's actually very interesting

Boom, roasted.
More like a colorblind person, but yeah, true
its like asking what color is apple to normal people
Oof I named the color as notes 😂😂
That dude was just a bad interviewer. Like, at least try to engage with the person you're interviewing
I honestly wonder if part of it was just the fact that they were super crunched for time and he was nervous
Agreed! The best interviewers are the best at listening to the people they're talking to, and are able to know when to toss the script.
Or he knew his audience had a very short attention span and weren’t watching for any “education” or depth
I feel like the people behind the camera were telling him what to do
Eddy from 2setviolin has perfect pitch as well, his demonstration of it was really impressive to me. He could recognize a random cluster of notes
Yeah, those are made of individual sounds that are not hard to identify. Like when you see a rainbow or can name all the colors on your shirt
I got P.P. too, it’s difficult to name notes going by fast or clustered together. Again with the color comparison, it’s like either flashing epileptic lights or showing a big mushy blob of different colors, then asking you to name all them
@@TameyTaming Sure, if it's too fast, but still if you already have it it's possible to improve this skill by training :)

When he called him a genius and talented for knowing what a first inversion is of a triad... I can't with these Hype Queens
Hot Take:
Good relative pitch can get you just as far as perfect pitch. It just takes longer to train.
Definetivly. I hate the concept that if you're not born with a perfect pitch, you can never be a good musican, that's bullshit. I feel like it's main use for musicans anyways is just being a cheat code for never having to train relative pitch
No it cant. Relative pitch will never be as fast as perfect pitch no matter how much you practice intervals. Its like trying to guess red and blue by going from red to magenta and then to blue or from red to magenta to purple and then to blue.
Charlie: * explains a very, very basic C major triad in first inversion *
Interviewer: OMG TALENT
Charlie: ...just study
Eva Hirsch wow this should actually be something we study in elementary school like colors so then we’d all just be walking around with understanding pitch like it’s nothing
@@jblue1622 you're right, i think there are more people with perfect pitch than we know of, because you still need training to know what pitch is being played. If nobody told you that the color red is called red, if somebody shows you that color, you can't tell them what it is, but you can tell them it isn't the same as blue.
I don’t have perfect pitch and I know that’s just basic theory 😆

It's like just let the man speak, he's actually making your show vaguely interesting but instead you keep cutting him off for no reason
the C major triad part was hard to watch
holy frik my thoughts exactly
It was painful
😂😂
'haha just study'
The analogy you give to perfect pitch with the colors is the most simple explanation i have come across ever. Whenever someone asks about how my perfect pitch works, I now always give them the colors analogy and then compare that to perfect pitch. Thank you for making my life easier!
That note Charlie said was between a C and a C#, closer to C#, was totally correct. I have good ears and awesome relative pitch, but I didn’t know it was flat until you played it on your keyboard. It’s just like tuning a guitar. The note from the video was definitely a few cents short of a C#, Charlie called that. Tbh, I was a lil sad you said it was their production team cause it was actually the most impressive feat in the entire interview. Just like you said, after they gave him the first note, everything else can be done with just relative pitch, not perfect pitch. But the ‘C#’? To be able to call that it was a few cents flat WITHOUT hearing a C# at the same time, or a C or D for close reference, that is most impressive. Likely unknown to their production team, possibly not even knowing the pitch was a few cents flat, they gave him a real perfect pitch test that he probably hasn’t been given (intentionally) before.
Dude just embarrassed himself without anyone's help
I checked the note I heard on the piano and it was C#.
Charlie: C major triad
Absolutely no one:
*Interviewer* : TALENT
Charlie: “Just study”
charlie looks like a kid whos being majorly talked up by his parents to other parents while hes there but is SEVERELY uncomfortable with it bc hes been taught to always be humble and that pride is a sin
Wow I feel called out
Oddly specific
Wanna say something?
the difference is Charlie is forced to just stand there naming notes and chords as if he was some kind of clown entertaining the audience
I've seen him awkwardly bring up his perfect pitch so i don't think he feels the pain of sinning by having pride
"You're able to see the entire spectrum of colors and recognize what it is." I raise you the dress of 2015.

This, THIS a thousand times. Everytime I've mentioned this with people who HAPPEN to be Charlie Puth fan would call me a hater when I'd say this. Watching his interviews from when he was younger until now, he always kept making his Perfect Pitch his very identity. Now all of a sudden he doesn't want to be identified as that now. Take away his Perfect Pitch and he's no different from any other producer that's in the industry now. As much as sure, it's an exceptional gift to have, but now it makes me less and less empathetic of him. Like, even as a Music Production student I *wouldn't* even want to intern for him because of how obnoxious he'd be.
@@lnuma92 OMG FInally, someone who agrees with me, and I'm not trying to come for Charlie or his music but, you can't get mad at someone who asks you to demonstrate something when you constantly bring it up and mention it

@@amelijaceica9617 yea but it helps to be a musician so you can relate
I'm super glad you explained perfect pitch the way that you did. I can remember and sing back a song in the exact same key that I heard it in before, (it might be a half note or so off if I haven't heard it in years,) but I probably couldn't tell you what key it's in. Like if you go into a paint store, you can see that a paint chip is off-white, but you didn't read the back of the card, so you don't know that the paint company named the color "ecru."
That color analogy was eye opening for me and the part about an interviewer showing someone colors was funny af! hahah
You just got a new sub!
I want to see a parody of that video where it's guessing colors and they switch between different shapes for each round…

10:46 there's a phenomenon when translating analogic signals (like the voice or sounds in general) to the digital world which is called aliasing. You record something which has its own frequency, but the samples (which is a fancy way to describe the sound inside a computer) might have a different frequency, thereby altering the original sound

This is why you need a musician, or at least someone who has a little background in music, to interview musicians.
Specially when you're going to be talking about music with someone who knows a lot about music
Or at least someone who is interested in the topic at hand. The host seemed to not even care about half of what Charlie was saying. But if they got someone who viewed this as a learning experience rather than some one who was just trying to "demonstrate" talent, than I think it would have gone over better. Good interviewers are engaged and interested even when they dont understand.

6:30, Here I want to mention that we Perfect Pitch people hear literary in the same way that everyone.

Perfect pitch is not learnable skill, well at least not in adulthood. All this "listen C note for 10 hours" things are just bullshit. Most of the time you won't need perfect pitch anyway to be a musician. Als perfect pitch is NOT equal with heaving a good ear for music a.k.a not being flat. Just because you are not flat while singing, doesn't mean you have perfect pitch.
@@vegeta1885 That’s very true, but I know OP was referencing more to all the times Charlie told the audience about music theory.
@@vegeta1885 I wasn't born with perfect pitch and I certainly wasn't taught it at a young age but you can certainly learn pitch recognition from memory. Just practice every day
@@brandondennis7369 You can't. There have been studies. You can get really really good relative pitch. And then you can listen to a reference and then relate every other note to your last reference to calculate what that note is. But you would requiere SOMETHING to reference at some point (He says that in the video. After the first A, everything else could be done by someone with relative pitch, but maybe not as fast)
And in any case it does NOT matter. Having perfect pitch is not better that just relative pitch. You can transcribe music by ear just as well. In fact if you have relative pitch you are thinking more deeply, so you get an even better understanding of the thing you are hearing. Bringing the color analogies back, you not only seeing the color red and blue, but you are thinking about them. How they are almost oposite in the chromatic circle, and how have a lot more contrast than blue and green. These are the type of useful things that someone with relative pitch has to think about. What scale are the notes on, major? minor? Mixolydian? Where is the root? So is this the 4rth degree? Oh we are back at the root? Hey, we are modulating? Instresting. Hey the chord progression just changed! I - ii - V maybe? Those are some of the things someone with relative pitch might be thinking when hearing music, and in a sense that information is more valuable than just "These are the notes". Which is what someone with perfect pitch would answer
I'm interested to see these studies because I taught myself pitch recognition from memory. It is referred to as "true pitch " because some notes I can name instantaneously (a, c, e flat, b flat ... ) and a few notes I have to think about (mainly c sharp and g) I practice by flipping through songs on the radio and trying to name the key from memory and I keep a toy keyboard to verify. I'm twenty and I was able to teach myself although I've been playing music for 10 years so that probably helps
Conclusion: There’s no such thing as Perfect Pitch, just everyone else is colorblind in the ears
To be fair most people don't have perfect sight. In Pantone they have to take a yearly color eye test to check their color accuracy and they fluctuate from year to year but the "entrance exam" is difficult for most people
Oh my god. Hilarious

Then again, I'm slightly blind too.
I have Perfect Pitch and I want to be fair:
Most people aren't that accurate naming Colours (divide the chromatic wheel by 12, and you won't know exactly the name of all of them)... Just think about this:
-X: _"So, what Colour is this?"_
-Y: _"This is _*_«Purple»"_*
-X: _"This is not _*_«Purple»,_*_ this is _*_«Magenta-Violet»,_*_ so I guess you don't have Perfect Pitch... sorry"_
You get what I mean? It's just... that, and Perfect Pitch people have to learn exactly every tone of "Colour" to prove that we have it.
Cornell, the low square wave sound is a C/Db. You are hearing the 9th Eb harmonic because of the sawtooth or square wave.
"Yo dude you just blew my mind. Perfect pitch!"
He said that after Charlie spit a good chunk of music theory on him.
Facepalmed hard on that one...
Charlie was trying to shift his thing of perfect pitch into something everyone could do, and make it into a theory lesson/ aural skills lesson lol
Too bad that host was just blown away by anything anyways haha
The moment when u have perfect pitch and accidentally mention it in band class and the entire class starts going like *"W H A T N O T E I S T H I S?"*
To me this perfectly encapsulates the lack of appreciation from a lot of people about depth of knowledge, the importance of an education and just basic caring about how an ability to do ANYTHING (doesn’t have to be music) is achieved. This interviewer goes babbling on about his Blackberry (I mean, WHY?) and how it’s some kind of cosmic witchcraft or whatever that Puth can do this and go into more depth about music theory. As Puth points out, it’s about studying, applying yourself and wanting to be better. Perfect Pitch is something on top of that for sure and not everyone has it but it’s this strange desire to seemingly not want to develop, not learn and just stay at one level that holds a lot of modern ‘creative endeavours’ - such as music composition - back these days. On the whole (and this is not EVERYONE by any means, there are a great many talented, forward-thinking, creative people out there) modern, popular music has been boiled down to three or four chords and very similar words. You get a verse and then a chorus with barely any change in accompaniment, then maybe a break down (where the chords simply ebb away) and you’re left with just a drum pattern and then it comes back in until the end. There’s no intro or pre chorus, no outtro, no middle eight or anything in the way of variety. I really feel for people like Puth who have done the hard graft, they’ve studied and made themselves better but have to deal with people like this who think a ringtone is the height of sophistication. Maybe go watch Get Back on Apple and you’ll see what it takes to create a proper composition that people will be singing, whistling, covering and being inspired by for decades to come…
This is just like twosetviolin reacting to sacrilegious violins.
Yep ling ling is also pissed off with the interviewer...
Charlie: just stud-
Interviewer: WOW geniuses are born not created!
@@rujet14 Everyone's pissed. Jacob Collier is livid.
Ling Ling is furious. Ling Ling will sue. Ling Ling will bring eternal punishment to those who mock a 24h practice/study
Geniuses are born not created
@@ikec-pw5sb excuse me? you only practice 24 hours a day? lazy!!
"Talent!"
"Just study...."
It's literally just music theory, understanding what a triad is has got nothing to do with talent. Music theory is something you learn, it's exactly like learning math.
Do you need to be exposed to music as a kid and have the genes to understand perfect pitch. Or can you learn it through studying at a later age. Just asking. If I wanted to learn piano at a later age.
@@kidicaras2719 thank you for explaining it this way. I appreciate it.
a123 lots of people say that perfect pitch cant be developed at a later age, but you can definitely train your ears and learn theory.
i personally think that you can develop some sort of pitch at any age. from my experience, i can hear certain notes instantly while some take a while. of coruse this isnt perfect pitch, but its still helpful
@@gulrezkazi You really don't need Perfect Pitch.
It's useful, but even for a professional musician having relative pitch is enough.
(And if you want to learn the piano, you wouldn't even need relative pitch, at least at first, since each tone is a different key, unlike e.g. for the violin, where you need to change the pitch of the strings to get different tones. Of course once you get more advanced and if you want to improvise or compose music yourself you'll have to develop a relative pitch, but it'll take a while til you get to that point.)
The host seems to have practiced acting like a "cool dude" instead of just being genuinely interested and thus he's so painfully disingenuous that his interview ended up being completely cringe.
Charlie: Explains a cool creative use of a strange sound in one of his songs
Interviewer: "Wow, wow. Let's see what the yellow one sounds like."
nO I love how Charlie is like, “I just studied” poor guy
charlie: *explains simple chord theory-* interviewer: THAT'S WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE CALL FACEBOOK
Their intended audience must be like: "Let's see what I learn from this video..." *Charlie starts explaining chord theory* "Be quiet, the interviewer is talking." *Interviewer tells you the sound is from Facebook* "Oh yes, that's what I came here for. You learn something new every day."
*g U e S s i M n O t n O r M a l*
when he said that I thought "facebook makes a sound?????"....
I love jamming to ... Facebook... on my abacus.
Poor Charlie. As someone with perfect pitch, I know how annoying it is to have people treat it like a magic trick
Ever had anyone just smash random notes and have you try to name them all? I can only name like 3 at a time
You nailed this. Didn’t offend the interviewer whilst also highlighting the clear lack of interest he showed towards any of the really interesting comments that Charlie came out with. Even if he didn’t understand half of what Charlie was saying surely he should make an effort to look like he’s interested and not just swiftly move on every time 😅
Thanks. Yeah, it's not the interviewer himself, it's just the way he executed it that made it hilarious.
Bruh the interviewer acted like an asshole.
Eddy from TwoSetViolin is waving at you.
I was thinking that too!!
Any Thing what does that mean lol
Ling ling workout who
COLLAB OMGOSKFJD
Yeah we need a collab
This is definitely the most entertaining vid I've seen for this week!
People with perfect pitch have such an extreme advantage in music carreers, when I try to compose something I always am able to find the perfect sound in my head for me personally but I cant identify them.
“Yeah, and I think you being able to distinguish colors as a painter really is what makes your paintings great.”
Painter: 0_0
Similar energy to this exchange that happened to me
Me: yeah so I like to mix my own colors when I paint just so I can have more variety- plus it's a bonus that I only ever have to buy primary colors
Person I'm talking to: wow yeah it's so amazing that you know how to make colors! Like how do you know how to make them
Me: ... A color... Wheel?
It would make more sense if you are someone who restores paintings than if you are the original artist xD Then again, as a restorer, you can compare the colors to one another. You don't have to look at a certain color of paint, think "That's 35% magenta, 5% cyan and 60% yellow" and then mix it... xD
Captain Strangiato 😂
Comparison doesn't hold that well, cause it would really be difficult for a painter to paint without distinguishing wolor wherehas not having perfect pitch would be at the very worst a very minor inconvenience for a musician. It's not even that useful
I actually laughed at this one
