I am no expert, but your keyboard is too high.

You should be sitting abit higher, and further off the keyboard.
About your first youtube link (didnt listen the second one...), you play it like youre using a metronome. Try to imagine youre singing the melody in your head and play the melody that way.

You learned fur elise by ear?! It IS an octave too low, but that's some feat, I have to say.

You seem pretty talented! I am also no expert, but as others have said you should be sitting higher and farther away from the keyboard. Your forearm should be coming in basically horizontally, and your wrist should be level. Right now your elbow is slightly lower than keyboard level, which means that your forearm is coming up at an angle, which means that your wrists are bent, which tires them out in the long run. Get a teacher and ask him/her to show you!

After the first video I was going to say what the others said about height and elbow etc. But after the second video all I can say is damn baby, keep it up!
