Five-year-old blind pianist is YouTube hit

A FIVE-year-old blind girl is causing a sensation on YouTube after stories emerged of her uncanny ability to listen to a song just once then reproduce it perfectly on the piano.

Yoo Ye-eun, from South Korea, was born blind and has had no formal musical training.

But her YouTube video is now one of the most watched on the site and last week she was invited to play in front of Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
