0	kenny 1 day ago from nevada That was cute!
1	Kimberly 17 days ago from Illinois That commercial still brings tears to my eyes - whoever the real pianist was, he was such an amazing gentleman to that little boy!
2	Randy King about 1 month ago from China Great job!!!
3	Deshondre Sims about 1 month ago from Beaumont, Texas This Video makes me want to learn how to play a piano now (:
4	Tom Gardner about 1 month ago from Massillon, Ohio Wow!
5	Susanna about 1 month ago from Oregon One of the best commercials ever. Congratulations!!!
6	DINESH PERERA about 1 month ago from SRI LANKAN I think it is brilliant.
7	Charles Opil about 1 month ago from Nakuru, KENYA Awesome!!!
8	Lisa Bradford 2 months ago from USA I was inspired just watching it! AWESOME!
9	Tito de Guzman 3 months ago from Pasig City Philippines I encourage the author/director/maker to make more commercial like this. The appeal is great!
10	Marc 3 months ago from Napa, CA People love this ad and so do I. However it is based on a story that seems to periodically make its rounds on the Internet. While I appreciate the message, the "True Story" opening should really be removed. This Urban Legend has been debunked several times. The Truth or Fiction website is a good place to start. Pass it on.
11	broz joseph tito 4 months ago from philippines that was great. its really amzing. i love values
12	Sam 5 months ago from Poulsbo, WA The pianist was playing one of Mozart's variations on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." I think Mozart wrote six.
13	Nancy McComas 5 months ago from Jarrettsville MD Love this video so much, I have plans to include a blog on my pet memorial website...instead of sharing sorrowful stories, we will share the good times, the inspiring stories surrounding our pets...Thank you!
14	john lloyd 6 months ago from philippines Awesome!!
15	Marissa B. 6 months ago from Pennsylvania This is a brilliant commercial! I've only seen it recently and the first time I did, it touched my heart. I wish this kind of thing happened to me when I was young. This is inspiring and everyone could benefit from it. Thank you!
16	Mike M 6 months ago from Tacoma, WA I think it is brilliant.
17	darby 7 months ago from nyc i absolutely love this. i cannot watch it without crying. this is based on a true story with the famous pianist ignacy padarewski
18	Tony A 7 months ago from Gilbert, AZ Awesome! I know the original story and this was great!!
19	Syaz 7 months ago from Malaysia I like it!
20	Cameron S 8 months ago from Indiana Best TV program I have seen. My hats is off to Kurt Besto, the piano player.
21	Kristina Jordan 8 months ago from Los Angeles, CA I've been that kid daring to explore the fascinating world, but never got the encouragement you show so lovingly in this spot. I cannot see it without crying, thinking of all the tiny adventurers today who need that emotional support right now, and the one still inside me who also needs it from myself.
22	Joseph jule 8 months ago from MD THIS SPOT HAS ALWAYS BROUGHT TEARS OF JOY TO MY EYES AND HEART. PLEASE KEEP IT COMMING!
23	Anastasia Fossett 8 months ago from CA I love this commercial! Reminds me to turn embarrassing moments into a learning opportunity!
24	Ted B 9 months ago from Kingwood TX This "encouragement" commercial should win an award. Very simple and very well done.
25	E 9 months ago from Ohio This story originated with just a mother and a child playing Chopsticks which quite frankly is much more "annoying" than Twinkle, Twinkle. The great pianist Pader Is reminds us of - well, everything that has been said here. Many different things, but the end result is good from seemingly a less than desirable situation.
26	gary 9 months ago from philly what is the true story about the concert pianist?
27	W Doug Ripley 10 months ago from Eugene, Oregon I thank God for things like this, the ads I have seen on TV have been such an inspiration to me. Today I found your web site, oh what a find! Now I can pass this along to the people in my life that I love and care about and everyone else that I haven't had that pleasure with yet. Our spirit is a wondrous force that when expressed gives hope to others and ourselves. Thank you for your actions that made this a reality. I will surely pass it on, bless us one and all. Doug
28	Judith 10 months ago from Fontana Heartwarming,beautiful, and inspiring. I am glad it is a true story! Simply one of the feel good moments where you're glad to be part of this experience.
29	Michael G 10 months ago from Chicago, IL I love this.
30	Keith 10 months ago from Woodstock GA This is now my new favorite Foundation For A Better Life television spot. I love how y'all put these spots on SPEED so us race fans can see what good can be in the world today.
31	Sheila 11 months ago from Concord, CA Love this one,makes you feel great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
32	Prashanth 11 months ago from Nantucket That brought true laughter & happiness!
33	Megan V 11 months ago from California Oh I love these commercials! And I'm a kid! I always think ergg another commercial but these make me want to replay it over and over again!
34	Colette 11 months ago from Rochester, IL I am always complaining about commercials. The stupidity of them just amazes me. Saw your "Concert in 60 seconds" commercial! Congratulations. Do whatever you have to to keep the writer(s). It is absolutely wonderful.
35	Jen 11 months ago from Iowa I am a pretty sarcastic person and I generally find these kinds of commercials to be hokey and dull, but... This commercial is amazing. Every time I see it I stop what I'm doing and watch it. I was in a similar situation when I was young (although not nearly on such a large scale) and it brings back good memories. Thank you. This commercial is simply amazing.
36	Tony 11 months ago from Seattle, WA Brilliant!
37	ManiX 11 months ago from Concord, NH Every time I see this spot, I get the warmness in my heart, I watch this every time I feel a little low, it's worth the smile in the end.
38	Pam Shumway 11 months ago from McCormick, SC I tear up the second this ad begins. Wasn't there an earlier part where the mother or father tries to teach Tommy to throw a baseball, kick a soccer ball,jump, and other physical skills he's not good at? Then comes the part on stage -- when you know Tommy has found his true passion...
39	Ziad 12 months ago from Dubai An amazing way to teach our kids creative thinking (one vital life skill). In this way, they will learn "how to think" not just "what to think".
40	Cathy 12 months ago from Nanchang,China It's amazing,it is so delightful and my heart was filled with moving tears. Encouragement,Pass it on. Well done .
41	JANET 12 months ago from BEAUMONT, TEXAS THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST SPOT THAT I HAVE SEEN. IT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS AND THE MESSAGE IS VERY CLEAR......ONE WORD......ENCOURAGEMENT.
42	Russell Johnson about 1 year ago from South Jordan, Utah Best spot on TV today. Keep them coming! Thanks.
43	Rick about 1 year ago from Cleveland, OH Kurt Bestor has to be one of the nicest guys in the world. What a wonderful commercial.
44	Albert H. about 1 year ago from Sunset, Utah I really enjoyed helped making a positive Commercial...of Encouragement... Kurt Bestor..is one of the best-est...Very Talented...
45	Rick Case about 1 year ago from Japan / Oregon This is wonderful - I hope that people ask themselves whether they would have handled this surprise twist in the moment before their performance as beautifully as this pianist did. Thank you for this and so many other wonderful public announcements!
46	Bracara about 1 year ago from Canada Awww this is sooo cute!
47	David about 1 year ago from Salt Lake Thank you for a great website. There should be more sites like this on the internet. Reminds me a lot of the movie Pay It Forward- doing good things for others.
48	Jenna S. about 1 year ago from Maryland This clip is so inspiring. It makes me want to cry! :)
49	Jhon about 1 year ago from Skyforest, California This spot has it all! Tears, smiles, and of course, encouragement! Extremely well done reenactment of a true story! Great story; great actors; GREAT spot!
50	Coleen P. about 1 year ago from Salt Lake City, UT This is a wonderful portrayal of a concert by Ignacy Jan Paderewski
51	Buslady over 1 year ago from SoCal My experience with a famous musician is awesome. I became a fan of a band, found two members online and befriended the guitarist. He is amazing, no "im better than you" ego, he's funny, and makes great sounds on guitar. Met him at a gig. He's even gone far enough as to call me a couple times recently. Where is he? Finland. I rarely get to see him, but he gives me the best gift of all, friendship with some encouragement in my own guitar learning.
52	Rhonda over 1 year ago from Georgia My son majors in music (piano) and he has 9 children that he teaches too, very talented and I hope that someday he can pass on encouragement as well. Love, Mom
53	Glenn S over 1 year ago from Montgomery, AL As a pianist myself, his reminds me so much of the magnificent pianist who was my childhood inspiration. It also reminds me of attending a Kenny G concert with my then 8-year old son. We had stepped out to buy him a Kenny G t-shirt, which he put on right then. When we came back into the concert hall, it was totally dark. Kenny G emerged from the darkness standing right in front of my son, face-to-face, playing his saxophone. My son was mesmerized. Kenny G took notice of that and continued to play for 2 or 3 minutes. My son took up sax lessons, first using my father's tenor sax that he played in the Navy band in WWII, then learned to play the soprano sax Kenny G most frequently plays. It was a life-changing experience for him - one he will never forget! Bravo for encouragement and inspiration! Keep up the great work!
54	George Sinzer over 1 year ago from New York A very heart warming video, I believe we should all encourage our children to be their best and to share that when ever and where ever possible. Perhaps one day a child like this wonderful lad will lead us, one can only hope...
55	Patrick J. McK. over 1 year ago from Formerly Lake View, NY My experience with a celebrity was less heart-warming. For my 16th birthday, my twin brother, our older sister and her then-boyfriend were given front row seats at a Neal Diamond concert. Billed with Neal Diamond was Sandy Baron, a stand-up comedian. While were were trying to get the seating arrangement straightened out, Sandy Baron deviated from his routine and tried to get all of us on stage. When we found our seats, I was the last one standing. Against my better judgment, I was talked into climbing on the stage where I discovered that Mr.Baron recruited stooges from the audience. It was a truly humiliating experience. Fortunately, I didn't suffer permanent emotional trauma! I eventually became a semi-professional musician... and left any prospects of stand-up comedy behind me.
56	Tana H over 1 year ago from Billings, MT This hit close to home, considering my parents put me in piano lessons at the age of 5, after I sat down at my grandmother's piano and played Twinkle Twinkle by ear. :) I started writing music by age 10 and it's a passion I'm so glad they initially guided me towards. :)
57	Kathy R. over 1 year ago from Mooresville, N.C. What a bright spot in my day was this message!! How could anyone see this and not feel not only encouraged, but just plain 10 lbs. lighter in the heart! Well done! or should I say "Bravisimo!!!"
58	Sharon C over 1 year ago from Honeoye, NY I just love the "Concert" - it reminds me so much of how our Nephew, who is attending the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY has taken time out of his hectic schedule to send words of "Encouragement" to our Grandson who is in 8th grand band. This is absolutely beautiful - thank you!!!!!
59	Jane B over 1 year ago from Fort Worth TX I've been in love with this spot since the first time I saw it. I, too, usually stop what I'm doing to watch it -- and shed a tear or two. Thank you!

76	Dorothy A. over 2 years ago from Garland, TX I am an 85 year old TV commercial fan of The Foundation for a Better Life. I am in the Dallas area and see the commercials on Fox Channel. I felt compelled to let you know how very much I enjoy and appreciate your commercials. They are so realistic, delightful, clean and entertaining. Thank you for making my TV viewing more enjoyable. The one I like most is young boy singing with the choir. They're all excellent!

79	Betty W. over 2 years ago from Boneville, GA The Concert ad and the Cafeteria ad are my favorites! I try to never miss one. Thanks to Charles, from PA, for providing the original pianist's name as Paderewski. I have been trying to find out who he is but to no avail.
80	Connie G. over 2 years ago from NC I LOVE YOUR TV ADVERTISEMENTS but I especially like the Concert ad. I, too, stop what I am doing to watch this ad. If I had had that kind of encouragement as a child I most likely would be a better pianist today!!
81	Vicki A. over 2 years ago from Cookeville, TN Your "Concert" commercial is absolutely wonderful. When I hear it come on, no matter what I'm doing, I stop to watch. All of your commercial are most heartwarming, but this is the best. Please show it more often.
82	Patricia W. over 2 years ago from Clarkson, Nebraska Absolutely love this ad involving a little boy playing "Twinkle Twinkle Star" assisted by a concert pianist. Where can I purchase the duet for piano?

84	Charles W. over 2 years ago from Perkiomenville, PA I absolutely love the little boy playing twinkle twinkle little star. Besides just commenting that it's a true story, why not tell who the artist "was." I happen to know that it was Paderewski. From where I heard it years ago I don't know.
85	Kathe W. over 2 years ago from Richmond, VA WI love all the PSAs I've seen on Fox News Channel, and I've gotten teary for most of them. They're very moving and I enjoy them so much Thank you!

89	Susan A over 2 years ago from Nottingham, NH Beautiful-I have been seeing your PSA's for a while now and every single darn time I get goose bumps.

92	Ella B. over 2 years ago from Atlanta, GA I'm teary eyed. Please don't stop the good work you're doing. Its not very often we see people who look like us, who have the same fears as us, who wear the same fashions as us doing great things on TV or anywhere for that matter. The fact that I can see myself in that concert hall makes it more meaningful.
93	Theo S. over 2 years ago from Clackamas, Oregon Each time I see the "Concert" I have to shed a few tears. What a blessing this has to be to all that hear it. Rev. Theo Elaine Sittser
