Lemme just say one thing. I've had the privilege of seeing Kev live twice, and trust me, Simon and Piers have NO IDEA how talented he really is. He wanted to make the fact that he was armenian stand out because he is proud of his culture (and he should be!) , and he could have done something else in English, as he said. I've heard him play the most amazing pieces, and the way he puts his comedy in it is brilliant. Guys, just wait, one day you might get the chance to see the greatness. HE ROCKS!
A truly great performer...a class act. His mimic and timing is amazing. His many talents, charme and creativity will have us enthralled for many years to come. ....and yes the judges on X faxtor got i totaly wrong this time.
Judges think about it carefully...... He needs to be among people......... He is a true entertainer. He is charming, talented, great pianist, great sense of humor, positive, full of energy..... Besides it is rude to interrupt an act and buzz in the middle of someones acting, i do not care how bad it can be , which in this case was totally wrong to do.
Born in 1974 to Armenian parents, Kev Orkian comes from a long line of entertainers; His great grandparents were scriptwriters and introduced the first theatre show to Turkey in the early 1900’s, whilst his grandparents all played numerous musical instruments and one of them was also an amateur comedian. Kev started playing the piano at four years old. Music came naturally to the young Kev -
Dear hayarerforeveer Kev orkian is famous among Armenians he has been touring round the world doing many performances. He has cds doing prank to armenian people round the world and beleave me he is helarious and unique in his way of performing it.
I saw this guy live when he was working on tour with joe pasquale he was/is absolutely hilarious! i really wanted him to go through to the finals, Just a shame he didn't!
Some Talents and Talented People DO NOT NEED Some Millionares to Sit Behind a Table And Judge Them , They Need to Get tgeir Own Piano and Sit Next to a Fantastic Pianist such as Kev and COMPETE !! LOVE U MY HYE ARMENIAN FELLOW !!
my mom once turned up late for his show in dubai. He noticed them shuffling along and said "HELLO, where have you come from" "jumeirah" they said (this was a housing area) he replied "i have come from Armenia and i STILL managed to get here on time"
he was at the edinburgh fringe festival, and he suits it way more than this competition. he's an absolute genius when you're actually up close and personal with the guy, an absolutely amazing pianist and comedian, and his fringe show was the best £11 i have ever spent in my life.
Sadly Kev's act couldn't be shown in it's fullest funniest form, but go see him live if you get the chance. Brilliant comedian and brilliant musician. Have known him for a few years now, and he's always busy, whether here in the UK or elsewhere in the world too. Love him!!!
@Ferruchio ,he is british but his mom is armenian he is from north london i love the way he sang that song the mixture between english turk armenian he is a great pianist
The thing is that he already had a decent career in entertainment. Touring with dance troupes, playing concert piano at the Sydney Opera House, etc. etc. So, while it may have been disappointing, this was not really a big blow to him. In fact, it's been nothing but good. He got exposed to a huge audience (British [BGT] and international [youtube]). Check out his website and you'll see that he's quite accomplished already. I love this man's comedy and love his piano playing even more.
He is an amazing comedian! Yet, Simon is a simple capitalist… Kev told recently in an interview that Simon suggested him to sign a contract with Simon to give 33% of his earnings for 6 years. Kev refused on the day of this exact show and 10 minutes before his turn they said he isn’t allowed to perform with what he prepared and had to think of something different. This is what he came up with in under 10 minutes. Simon simply set him a trap… also the BTG is the one that approached Kev and asked to take a part in the show. They wanted him to be the winner. The price was too high so he refused to be the winner
He said a few lines in perfect Turkish.I don't know what this makes him , an english , an armenian or a turkish but he's got a very interesting character.
I feel sorry for Kev he was so happy and so looking forward to the semi final and he gets bad reviews and 2 buzzers. But it was a one trick pony thoe. Best of luck in the future Kev
@Nvakogh ok...let's see....so he's a comedian.....and what he did was extremely funny....plus...he sang in armenian besides english....he played the piano...forgot to say that he actually sang really good but i'd repeat that...oh well ...he had the accent...the carisma...charm...everything.... If this didn't impress the judges then what? I'd watch his act all over and over again...just great!
@SuperEDUARD1988 i don ' t wanna upset u but if u watch the first oddition he said his mother is armenian but he was born in north london and anyway it not the point he is a very good artist i love the way hi sing
I feel sorry for how he related himself to being half Turkish and it was really foolish of him because he said his mom was an Armenian and his family name is completely Armenian “Orkian”. .
I like this guy a lot, but I don't think this is one of his better routines. He definitely has a lot of talent and charm, though, so I'm sure he'll go far.
@iAMxWiL Absolutely right comment sir... However I wanted to contest the way they did the buzzing... Simon right after the beginning and Piers in the middle of the song... disgusting behaviour... (the shit-eating offer is still up for them)
Then again may be he was born in Turkey which could be normal case, there are allot of Armenian living in Turkey with Turkish passport in their hand. I am a proud Armenian and felt very happy to c an Armenian joining in such competition and using his identity in a funny way besides that stupid half/half part
Being a good "hayaser" is a good thing but try to understand this brilliant “Armenian” talent and what was his target joining this competition and what he had in mind at that time.At the end we should not attack people in such a way; we should find another way to show our anger on any subject relating Armenian/Turkish issue.
@crazyj11 i think no one understood his khent khent paner geses indzi haha :p not all people can speak armenian but i laughed the fellow armenians laughed :p
Kev is way too professional for that amateur show!... Although I know he could have done a lot better, he still was entertaining and hilarious as always!... He should have done a comedy sketch instead! He would have made the finals for sure!
Yes, his real accent is North London accent, you can hear it when he speaks to judges. Also, his parents speak Western Armenian, people in Armenia speak Eastern Armenian and accents are different. So, for us , Armenians from Armenia the accent he puts up sounds more Middle Eastern , we speak differently in English
Kev didnt do well at BGT, he messed up and there was no point in getting amanda involve in his song. i am very dissapointed in him, iam armenian myself

Seen Kev live twice now. Nearly wet myself laughing. Very talented guy.
Holy Moly Kev you legend ! I'm so glad I didn't see this before our training today ! You are AMAZING 🙌
He's such a legend.
I saw him in a cruise ship very recently and he was absolutely hilarious. He's definitely grown since britain's got talent and he is just so funny!
A truly great performer...a class act. His mimic and timing is amazing.
His many talents, charme and creativity will have us enthralled for many years to come.
....and yes the judges on X faxtor got i totaly wrong this time.
not because I am Armenian but this guy is absolutely holarious, love hime...

wait he won?
@Ferruchio ,he is british but his mom is armenian he is from north london i love the way he sang that song the mixture between english turk armenian he is a great pianist
I have recently seen his act and I can honestly say I did not stop laughing., very funny man, dont agree with the judges
I've seen him live and enjoy his stuff...I'm sure he'll make it through.
The thing is that he already had a decent career in entertainment. Touring with dance troupes, playing concert piano at the Sydney Opera House, etc. etc. So, while it may have been disappointing, this was not really a big blow to him.

He's already famous, working with Joe pasquale he didn't need to go on bgt,fucking shit TV show and always will be
Wtf, he's a good entertainer ;)
i like kev orkian, really a prooo, no doubt

♥️💙🧡🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
I am Armenian and he is the best in our world
He was just trying to be funny, don't know why they took it too seriously....he's a talent.
if u understood the armenian thats pretty funnny.
He is an AWESOME COMEDIAN!!!..
Those in jury were dickheads...
GO KEV ;)
You rock!!!!!
He said a few lines in perfect Turkish.I don't know what this makes him , an english , an armenian or a turkish but he's got a very interesting character.
Armenian whose parents can speak Turkish too.
I feel sorry for Kev he was so happy and so looking forward to the semi final and he gets bad reviews and 2 buzzers. But it was a one trick pony thoe. Best of luck in the future Kev
@Nvakogh ok...let's see....so he's a comedian.....and what he did was extremely funny....plus...he sang in armenian besides english....he played the piano...forgot to say that he actually sang really good but i'd repeat that...oh well ...he had the accent...the carisma...charm...everything....
If this didn't impress the judges then what? I'd watch his act all over and over again...just great!
He could have just gone on as a Pianist. he was amazing.
I loved it. ^^
Armenia
This guy came to my armenian school today!
Just seen him at thursford Christmas show was in stiches
I really liked it... 😂
THE FISRT SONG PLEAAAAAAAAASE
The judges just annoy me!
Reminds me of Omid Djalilli, the whole "foreign counterpart" act.
I was gutted he didn't get through :(
lol i liked that dude now i will shal this video on my FB wall )))
He is not Turkish I don't see why those hosts would call him that he is clearly Armenian
@SuperEDUARD1988 i don ' t wanna upset u but if u watch the first oddition he said his mother is armenian but he was born in north london and anyway it not the point he is a very good artist i love the way hi sing
🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
Kev fuck tham your great
4:20 ow that looked painfull LOL!
I feel sorry for how he related himself to being half Turkish and it was really foolish of him because he said his mom was an Armenian and his family name is completely Armenian “Orkian”. .
I like this guy a lot, but I don't think this is one of his better routines. He definitely has a lot of talent and charm, though, so I'm sure he'll go far.
I think he is good! =)
he's a funny guy
@iAMxWiL Absolutely right comment sir... However I wanted to contest the way they did the buzzing... Simon right after the beginning and Piers in the middle of the song... disgusting behaviour... (the shit-eating offer is still up for them)
I demend to take this material !out of my page!
ARMENIYA
any one knows the piano part music ??
Simon is jealous because notice how Simon always puts his arm close to Amanda
DERE YOU GO!
Then again may be he was born in Turkey which could be normal case, there are allot of Armenian living in Turkey with Turkish passport in their hand. I am a proud Armenian and felt very happy to c an Armenian joining in such competition and using his identity in a funny way besides that stupid half/half part
it was a shame but simone and piers were rightm, he should have done a serious musical act. he was incredible :)
Why on earth is piers on britains got talent??? British people along with Americans can't stand him
The more I see Peers the more I get deceived about him.
@Raph1one1 i didnt get it although i quite liked this guy can you explain it?
Go armenia!
Remember this his first audtion was funny and he was really good at the semi final he was a let down
Being a good "hayaser" is a good thing but try to understand this brilliant “Armenian” talent and what was his target joining this competition and what he had in mind at that time.At the end we should not attack people in such a way; we should find another way to show our anger on any subject relating Armenian/Turkish issue.
Anyone can say lines or even speak in Turkish but it does not make the person a Turk, does it?
His name isnt Kev-Orkian its a joke name from Dr Death Doctor Kevorkian...His mother is a Turkish Armenian.
@Hayaserforeveer UMADBRO?
great funny
@crazyj11 i think no one understood his khent khent paner geses indzi haha :p not all people can speak armenian but i laughed the fellow armenians laughed :p
it's so true lol. :)
haha "dec and ant" wait y would louis walsh have a british passport?
Kev is way too professional for that amateur show!... Although I know he could have done a lot better, he still was entertaining and hilarious as always!... He should have done a comedy sketch instead! He would have made the finals for sure!
is it just me or does this guy look like crowley from supernatural 0.o
@Ferruchio TESNAMIYID LESHUNNN
TRY 2 UNDERSTAND BRO
I'm sure he's putting that accent on though, even if he's from Armenia or his parents are,
Yes, his real accent is North London accent, you can hear it when he speaks to judges. Also, his parents speak Western Armenian, people in Armenia speak Eastern Armenian and accents are different. So, for us , Armenians from Armenia the accent he puts up sounds more Middle Eastern , we speak differently in English
yea :P
@thepianoloverful hes armenian man, wat the fuk r u tlking abt ,he sang in armenian, his name is armenian. so enuff tlking on your part.
0:30

Yes Mom looks armenian :)
He came in only with one act, thinking he probably wodent get past the interview. shame, a damn shame.
@SuperEDUARD1988 yes, its third worl Armenian lang. not the language of civilisated empires -Turkish-
🇦🇲💞

Kev didnt do well at BGT, he messed up and there was no point in getting amanda involve in his song. i am very dissapointed in him, iam armenian myself
