Les Miserables - Do you hear the people sing

[jjsinko1]

I just saw this video today. Quite moving, as Les Mis is my favorite musical performance, having seen it several times on stage and on CD. However, Les Miserables is NOT about the French Revolution but about characters starting from 1815 and ending in a short student and youth uprising occurring around 1832, long after the Revolution and Napoleon's reign. Read the novel by Victor Hugo before you comment.

can't keep tears in my eyes while watching this....

[Moratorium]

I want to be the camera guy at 1:47

[Moratorium]

1:24 plastical surgery fail

[feelinggrooveylondon]

@Moratorium Actually, that's me, and I've never had plastic surgery. There's something wrong with you, making comments like that about people. You must be a very sad person.

[cumbas]

How 4 persons cannot like that ??!!!

Incomprehensible !!!

It was a great moment :-)

[Dogba021]

Well why would you cry I feel for you

[iespa2009]

I cant stop crying

[popazz1]

I have been lucky enough to see Les Mis' 3 times now,& it is the epitome of musical theatre.From the opening overture to the rousing closing number it is 'on the edge of your seat' experience.No fidgeting in the seats,no annoying rustling of sweet-wrappers,or slurping of mouths around toffees,(why DO theatres sell those damn things,lol),just utter enjoyment of the greatest show on earth!

[Mongo1940]

The British do big things really well. This is memorable.

[billybxox]

This should have been sung at the Student demonstrations in London.

Betrayal of the generation that will have to dig the world out of Global Warming.

[Maaarysoool]

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? Then join the fight That will give you the right to be free... Will you give all you can give (…) Will you stand up and take your chance?

[13nickrock]

[mad4vibe]

LOVE IT!!!

[solefthanded2]

[perpy994]

If there is an anti-Tea party group formed, this should it's anthem.

Really, I mean it.

[PhenomPhilly]

This is one inspirational song!

[plinney]

I have always loved this song because of how inspiring it is in that it represents a people breaking loose of the bondages of goverment....It shoud be the theme for the "Tea Party Movement" in America taking place now

[dolphingirl1205]

@plinney no..................the french revolution is REALLY different from the tea party movement and sarah palin....

[ThePilot314]

This song represents the spirit of all - goog - human beings i.e.

the sense for what we at leat are here on earth!!!!!!

A wonderful song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like the whole musical.

[ABookwormAndProud]

I love how it's the finale version that they have here, rather than the first rendition of the song---makes my cry,every time. <3333

[hommechauvesouris]

The song of the french revolution in a english stadium...

[Leyuann]

! are there 2 versions of that in english too ? i know other lyrics!!

[FireFox1914]

@Leyuann This is kind of a medley between the original and the encore from the show.

[runerocker3]

[Admiralharu]

[JacquelineHjorth]

Beautiful, but not all that revolutionary :)

[loesje91]

Goosebumps :)

[pleitonimus]

yes, its nice, but its no the son of the end, its the song in the middle, when one of the revolutionary, with his words gives to his friends the strengh to fight.

[slodka098]

OMG!....This is so beautiful!

[yengzzz]

I want to have a les miz shirt @_@

[pang829]

who has the lyrics for this rendition?

[Princeofdarkness91]

it's the ending of the musical...when Valjean dies...

[runerocker3]

@pang829 the lyrics are almost identical to the Encore 1 on the 10th anniversary edition.

[veronika94fun]

Marios Frangoulis is there,he's so cute!!!!i am proud of him<3

[bcrocker33]

this song is so moving. it just speaks. i can listen to it over and over and never get tired of it.

[horsyfreak2000]

Omg that's Zoe Tyler the vocal coach (one of the judges on Any dream will do) at 1:30 - 1:39 and 2:52 isn't it?

[bcrocker33]

[tmtstudio1983]

This is just fantastic!!

Btw Is that Mario Frangoulis in about 2:23 on the most left?

[WillowFae]

Looks like him.

[Mereuge]

@tmtstudio1983 Yes he is ;-)

[wierdmr]

Yeah, I love this song, but I don't like it when people take it and use it for their own political campains. :P

*sings along* "Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see? Do you hear the people sing? Say, do you hear the distant drums? It is the futer that they bring when tomarrow comes!" ^^

I really love this song. <3

[deepdeep25]

lol i saw this just when they started to sing the inserted lyrics. Man i love this song, brings back good memories.

[wierdmr]

Wow, that's cool! :D

[Zanpakuto87]

this is the reprise. The song is sang in the first act at the bar.(if you know what i mean great) What they sang, is what is sung at the end. NOT COMPLAINING. just clarifying. both sets of lyrics are fantastic.

[vioviolin29]

They will gat a soree throat..haha.Screaming in a stadium

[NJSrlive]

its scary

[tommyhtc]

lol

[morwennahitch]

how? good scary? bad scary?

[EppieSue]

I had no idea they performed this at Wembley at 1996! I'm amazed and agree with all the people who called it the "Freedom Anthem". It's probably the most beautiful and inspiring song I've ever heard.

[ajs1307]

Love it. Fantastic!

[Linkjoy123]

O..mm.. g.. amazing

[beeeeeth]

Les Mis is amazing on stage, saw it in the West End last year. This song is soooo good :D

[RegicidalManiac]

1:17-1:28 Reowrr! Mmm... Who is that?

[homerjsimpson215]

this song makes me want to storm something.

[MarcusDBrutus]

Lets go storm the Whitehouse

[Enjolras2437]

I agree with 81pipe.. this is the perfect Freedom Anthem... If I had a say in it I would make it on of the Anthems of France

[81pipe]

Amazing these song... For me that is the Freedom Anthem

[whizkidforte]

OMG! It makes me wwant to see THE REAL THING! (rents "Les Mis")

[LiliPod123]

Amazing,they should have perform this abd Medley in Atlanta 1996 games.

[kazjac]
