Becoming a world-class drummer takes years of training.
For most people, they have to abide by Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours theory. But every now and then, someone is gifted with incredible talent. That’s true for five-year-old Justin Wilson II. By the time he was just four, he had already mastered the Lenny Kravtiz classic “Fly Away on drums. He was so good that he was invited to perform on Ellen for a live audience.
A year later, he’s come back to show off his amazing skills again with a new song.
He’s not shy about joking back and forth with Ellen or being the center of attention on stage in front of a lot of strangers. When asked what song he would be performing, he tells the audience it would be another Lenny Kravitz hit, “Are You Gonna Go My Way.”
But then he corrects himself. “Or you can call it Are You Gonna Go My Wayyyyyyy, he says, giggling and pointing in the audience at his parents. “That’s what you do!”
He then coughs one of those hilarious kid coughs where it comes out of nowhere and they don’t cover their mouths or anything (this was pre-COVID, of course).
Ellen offers him some water and Justin says it’s the “most disgusting thing he’s ever tasted” with a cheeky grin. Ellen looks shocked and asks him why it’s disgusting (water?) and he says it was just a joke. “I’m so bad at humor, I never know what a joke is,” Ellen replies.
It’s a gigantic display full of cool kids Spiderman-themed merch!
There are backpacks, stuffed toys, pillows, a lunch box, games and more! Justin can hardly believe his good luck. Do you think he’s more excited about meeting Lenny Kravitz…or the Spiderman stuff?
