  • Why are they representing Britain in Eurovision!!

  • How many of them will still go out and vote labour when thier "hubby's" are sent to Iran?, probably most of them

  • Comment removed

  • Where are the gay partners of serving soldiers? This seems like discrimination

  • 56 people dont know what us army wives go through! 

  • What a beautiful tribute to your husbands who are serving their Country in the armed forces.

    Gareth has surpassed himself again.

    God bless from North Carolina.

  • @MegaTiggers Thank god there are still people who can appreciate what these fantastic women (and Gareth) have tried to achieve.

  • Nice!!!!!

    Check ou this video dedicated to army wive at mrgliquid channel. Very powerful

  • @mrlogicalman The sad thing is your comments don't surprise me and I only hope you don't live in our green and pleasnt land.

  • absolutely fantastic brings a tear . so proud to have been in the forces 

  • OK it's back to basics, lets get behind them once again and help them achieve a Brit award. Please don't all get on your soap boxes again and start going on, I'm on about "Best newcomers" or similar.

    I think I have opened an hornets nest here lol!

  • @1066donald was so robbed of best single.......consider everyone says they get behind our forces, why did they not win

  • @gemgem347 Obviously everyone went in "One Direction" lol.

  • OMG This Is Amazing!! The First Lady To Sing Is Amazing She Should Be So Pround Of Her self!! Totally AMAZING!!

  • @anglecake1997

    I think you must be related to one of my earlier "posters" called "cupcakecrazy", she was also A.MAZING! lol.

  • PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT CONTRABANDS 'NEVER FORGET' SINGLE!!! ALL MONEY RAISED GOES TOWARDS HELP FOR HEROES! PLZ PLZ PLZ LOOK AT IT :) THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH :D

  • I`m sure everyone in this video is a lovely person, but, if any woman needs a reason why not to have a tattoo.....

  • Incredible ladies. You are so talented and strong.

  • Call me callous but this just does not do it for me. I see these beautiful young woman and just feel angry that their men (and by the way there are woman in the military -- where are their men?) are risking their lives for naught. The reasons for war are usually false justifications,and not worthy of the money and lives spent.

    Let's get angry, not teary eyed. (side note; as a voice teacher of over 30 years, I wonder if there was a more appealing voice for the soloist).

  • @minkamagalah

    OK I accept your opinion, but it's not about who had the most appealing soloist voice, it's about more than that, why don't you watch the series on the BBC I player

  • @1066donald I don't think he can as he's in the US, But if you can the series adds the rest of the iceberg under the tip, and here you only see the tip.

  • @minkamagalah I agree with you

  • nice one

  • awsome! no wonder the British,American,Canadian as well as the whole of nato kicks ass

    they have women like these support them

  • This song and the women singing it shows how strong WE the BRITISH feel about our country and the brave men and women that have thought and died for their country and not just in this war. They put their lives on the line so people like you and me can live safely day to day. If you dont like it then instead of freedom of speech why not use the right to remain silent. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM

  • @dazza1638 What your saying is only true in part, they dont "make our lives safer day to day", dont swallow that bullshit, they are sent there to make money for greedy corps and governments and kill many innocent people in the process.Dont get me wrong i have the upmost respect for them but if you think going out there is in anyway to do with "keeping our country safe" you are extremely misled

  • Why are we fighting in Afghanistan? Why are young men and women dying out there? Does anyone understand the purpose, let alone have an exit strategy? While I admire the women singing this song (but why no husbands of military women or male partners of gay soldiers?) - products such as this direct attention away from the hard questions that we should be asking of our government. They have got us into a terrible mess and more brave young people will die for little clear purpose. A tragedy.

  • The record has reached number one in the charts,but I wish the song had a stronger melody,

    although the lyrics are excellent.

  • This war should not have happened, tragic as it was this is only a minor conflict compared to the last great wars, Londoners died in their thousands during the blitz. People just got on with it.

  • @misanthropicagenda1

    I was going to reply to this and then thought, why? Bye!

  • @1066donald I was going to reply to this and then thought, why? Bye!

  • DONT LIKE WARS, normally but this is okay

  • Comment removed

  • @1066donald

    I think quite a lot of people are bothered about servicemen actually. Just not those who support terrorism.

  • @Deztructor13x

    And God please simply help this "poster" find another YouTube site ( maybe the same one as @PATRICKEIRE ), I think they would benefit from each others "Preachings".

  • all of you get a life big respect for the girls

  • how can any one call any one for tattoos. respect to you all never listen to what people say. they have to make fun of people cos its them who have problems.well done. this just shows how much you care.

  • Brings a tear to one's eyes....Send mp's to fight instead....

  • Like it.....At least they can sing L I V E unlike no direction and tweedy......

  • Wonderful song truly deserving of our praise, I cannot believe the scum who populate this planet sending the disgusting comments to some of the singers and the people who upload this music, and all at Christmas time!

  • what a wonderfull song, fantastic singing, makes one feel really good inside, the soloist is fantastic, please tell her i said so. x

  • I'm proud to be British <3

    I'm an Air Cadet and my squadron parade at The Royal British Legion so I support this cause strongly <3

  • People might not like it but the world was better when the Muslims were in the East and the christians were in the West. Theres no reason to have mosques in the United Kingdom, we are a christian country and our state leader is head of the Church of England. Let them come here by all means but this PC crap has been going on too long and we'll end up killing each other.

  • @justin26UK england is Jewish, not Christian

  • @spamtelevision

    So what is your point! Does it matter?

  • boring

  • X factor lost the no.1 spot, and a good cause and crowd win.

    Brilliant!!

    Merry Christmas all & a happy New Year :)

  • You will probably see I have removed quite a lot of comments, simply because I couldn't believe how many people posted all those hate messages, on, Christmas Day of all days!

  • @1066donald well done for removing the hate comments these sad deluded individuals seem to feed off the attention that they get on here with their uniformed dribble, they would be far to cowardly to say those things in public...i never know whether to feel sorry for them because they are so naive and or just be annoyed because they are so cowardly and stupid with there over simplistic brain dead world view well done for keeping the page clean

  • @captn1pugwash

    Thank you for agreeing with me to at least keep the comments clean, but please don't incite them even more with additional comments that simply fuel their hatred!

  • @1066donald I didnt once post anything bad about the ladies singing this song,,i just expressed a point of view which stated that it seems that a british soldiers life seems to be worth more than an iraq/afagn one of,if u post a video on utube then people are entitled to comment on it,,without throwing abuse which i didnt do,so please dont preach from the altar if u are afraid of people puting there valid and fair point of view across,,,

  • @PATRICKEIRE

    OK, so you don't get it, bye!

  • @PATRICKEIRE

    I nearly blocked your comments until I realised this is what you really REALLY were intent on, for your own sake, please just go to another YouTube site, maybe you already have, to post similar views/opinions, either way, just go to some irrelevant "blog site" along with people who agree with you and enjoy yourself (s).

  • @PATRICKEIRE

    british soldiers life is priceless.

  • So glad they made it to #1!! Well deserved. Best wishes to all the wives and partners, servicemen and woman serving abroad this Christmas and great joy for 2012! :)

  • I hope that the single "War - What Is It Good For?" or Metallica's "One", or "Merry Christmas War Is Over", will be re-released and knock this off the charts. Killing people in the name of "Victory" is not a noble deed. As Gandhi said "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Let's start venerating the hippies and peacemakers instead of people paid to kill for a living.

  • @QFIhawkman Gorgeous !!! Are we looking at the same person ?

  • Killerwaz you are a prick. I bet you sit on your arse getting your dole money every week. Never done a days work in your life. I would live to bump into you one day

  • If somebody find's keypointist's brain please give it back to him.

  • @marndin I guarantee they won't..

  • It makes me proud to be British , It is a breath of kindness in a bitter world

  • i understand what they are doing is brilliant and i support them but i dont agree with it being just the wives as there are also women who fight for the country and have husbands who are at home so they should be welcome into into this as i know a woman who is going to afgan soon and she has a partner at home as well

    anyway i love the song and keep up the support for a great cause

  • proud to be british well done the wives and girl friends

  • dont comment if you wanna be bitchy..nilscoram are you beautiful then?

  • soo much respect for these womens husbands and anyone out their fighting for our country..... i will join you one day! <3 Much respect

  • @MissRachael44 wake up!

  • this should be a #1 christmas song and they should be so proud of there husbands for what they do. WE ALL SHOULD!!!!!

  • @terry4892

    I totally agree, and hopefully the song will raise thousands of pounds for The Royal British Legion and SSAFA.

  • @terry4892 proud of murdering people, what planet are you from?

  • @terry4892 Why ? Why are they killing the Taliban exactly. Don't try terrorism, because the Taliban have never carried out any terrorist attacks on Britain. There is nothing to be proud of. The presence of the British military in Afghanistan is due to political ignorance.

  • This video makes me feel sick

  • I don't find this fabulous.

  • well done lady's we need more like you

  • This is so Class...Nice one...x

  • Fantastic, Thank you

  • the 30 people who disliked are idiots how would you feel that you didnt have your family home for Christmas and that there is a risk you wont get to speak to them again!

  • Ok im sorry to say but im so freakin bored of this every year someone tries to beat the x factor yes yes its all for a good cause. Blah Blah Blah. But really this is all stupid! we've been fighting a war for too long we should have quit years ago all war does is hurt people now im not an anti war person but I do think it would be nice to not here at least once a month on the news that someone has died

  • Ok Ok as soon as you mention the militry or wars like that and the people who fought there people cant exactly say bad stuff about this. but say if this wasnt about war wou;d this song be in the charts I dont think so ok so they might be like 40th in the charts its all very sad blah blah and I respect them for that but

  • God you beat the X-factor crap!!! Your amazing!!!! Keep on N.01

  • This Christmas #1 is brought to you by the military-industrial-entertainm­ent complex.

  • @irh196

    Good answer....lol

  • @irh196 welcome to the NWO my friend

  • Not Moving In The Charts Still #1. C'MON MILLTARY WIVES BEAT THE X FACTOR CRAP!

  • Not hvn a go at these ladies but i dont see a song in the charts for the wives and mothers in afganistan/iraq,they seemed to get airbrused out of the picture?After all the army has killed an awfull lot more people out there than it has lost,a life is a life,no matter ur race,faith or politics and there lives shud be a valued as western lives,i dont blame any soldier as they are only doing there job,but the politicans should hang there heads in shame,this war is for greed and control of oil

  • @PATRICKEIRE

    I'm sorry, but what the hell is going on here...Gareth Malone has featured in other TV programmes about Choir's...they usually involve building communities/peoples confidence & outlook on life (what's wrong with that),but as soon as someone mentions..."Military Choir"...the whole meaning of what he does, suddenly becomes irrelevant, why? Whenever did you hear/see him display any political views/opinions,you haven't.

  • @1066donald I never said anything bad about these ladies,and i fully respect what they are doing,fair due to them..but my point was and is where is the song to raise money for the afgan/iraq people who have been killed and injured,,as i said is a british army life worth more than an afgan or iraq life?No matter what way the war is potrayed it is a war based on lies,,and its aim is the control of supplies of oil,,nothing else,where were the womds?All those lives wasted for what?

  • @PATRICKEIRE

    OK if anyone can find an Afghan Choirmaster and songwriter like Gareth Malone please contact, PATRICKEIRE lol. I don't mean to antagonise you, or indeed anyone, but all I am interested in, is how music helps transforms peoples lives,and in their cases',significantly.

  • @1066donald

    This just shows what any non-British life's value is, doesn't it, Donald?

  • @PATRICKEIRE how many lives have been "wasted" fighting for the freedom of Ireland? or the freedom from William the Conqueror? simplistic answers such as "war based on oil" fail to recognize THE WAR OF IDEAS... laws based on human rights (the West) or Sharia Law (laws based upon Islam)? Afghan lives are worth as much as the 3000 women and kids killed in the Twin Towers. Iraqi lives are worth as much as the innocents killed over Lockerbie, Scotland. Go hide under your bed, Patrick!

  • @PATRICKEIRE and all the lives lost fighting Adolph Hitler... were they "wasted", so that you could live in a free country... instead of under the Third Reich? And now, we have Muslim Extremists saying "Kill the Jews" just as the Nazi leaders once preached the master race... or have you not heard any of this, living in your treehouse?

  • @jeffzekas I never mentioned anything about the nazis and if ur tryn to compare the war in iraq/afganistan to ww2 then u are gone of my point alltogether,,which was and is that there seems to be this view that the afagns and iraq people lives are not worth the same as a british squaddie,and that the war over there is a fight for freedom,,which if u have any sense of the real world we all know thats a lie,,as for ur point about living in a free nation....cont

  • @jeffzekas iwud like to remind u that the english still have there army in part of ireland,,,and we all know the history of the english in ireland now dont we...as for ur point about living in a tree,i have served in the Irish Army for 14 years and when the irish army goes to abroad on service its as PEACE keepers,,so in fact i do know what its like to leave ur loved ones and also i know what it means to serve my nation,and muslim radicals,,we have just as many christan ones

  • @PATRICKEIRE The Iraqis and Afghanistan people can sing their own songs to raise money for their own 'soldiers' if they want. The British government gives far to much money away to third world countries as it is, and not enough to the injured men they send to stabilize middle east countries.

  • @PATRICKEIRE

    Salute to you for speaking your mind up and being fair. War is war and there's no price tag on lives. Unfortunately, not everyone understands this.

  • @PATRICKEIRE Anyone stupid enough to follow that quack religion deserves whatever they get. Maybe you should live over there if you care so much? Support our troops or GTFO.

  • @justin26UK Quack religion?So if we follow ur "logic" then the nazis were doing the right thing in ww2 when they killed the jews,u see its that inbred, bigoted ,backward way of thinking that causes hate and war,,are u a member of the Orange Order or the KKK,,as they might suit u.All faiths are based on respect and tolerance of others,,and it is only the radical fools on all sides that preach h8,,u need to educate and open ur mind and not be a bigot for the rest of ur life

  • @PATRICKEIRE Don't turn it on me.  You're a do-gooder PC who cares more about the people trying to kill us than you do the people protecting you. Its people like you that are ruining the world. We do have differences and to refuse to acknowledge them is a weakness because trust me the people that try to kill you recognise the difference between you and them. It is not the job of the UK to raise awareness for the soldiers of the Taliban.

  • @PATRICKEIRE If the taliban wives want to make themselves a nice little choir, they are free to do so. You seem to think we are fighting a nations army? We are fighting illegal terrorist rogue organisations, not a nation. Have some respect for the people who keep you safe.

  • @justin26UK i never made any foul comments about the uk army,and when people post videos on utube then people are allowed to express there point of view,,it makes me laugh when i see people say the brits are fighting for freedom over there,,i mean for god sake we all know the real reason they are there and its not for the good of the afgans of the british people,its to make sure that the us and its allies get there oil/minerals,,and the terriorst u talk of are the same guys the.cont

  • that the us and brits are now talking with so they can try withdraw from afganistan,,after all it was the brits and the US that armed and trained the taliban in the 80s ,,90s when it suited them,,,then they were called freedom fighters because they were killing russians,,now they are terriorsts because they are fighting the brits and americans ????DOUBLE STANDERDS

  • @PATRICKEIRE And the rest of you complaining, please use another site that is relevant for fulfilling your obvious lack of "just enjoying something", for once in your lives, STOP BLOODY MOANING about everything!

  • @justin26UK We don't have any right to fight for the freedom of other nations. Period. Every free nation in the world is free because it has fought for centuries against tyranny to become free, and so it must ever be.

  • @naishjam Why don't you just do like that the rest of these preachers and look for a site that you can really air your feelings on, just stop using this one, unless of course you can do like NONE of the rest have, just simply enjoy the music!

  • @PATRICKEIRE

    Look, can I please offer you some advice, again, stop winding people up with your political drivel and get a life, stop preaching YOUR views and not listening to others, and most importantly stop spoiling these women's obvious delight in JUST SINGING!

  • @PATRICKEIRE You equate the Orange order, a protestant organisation,with the KKK? Oh but you're Catholic and that makes them scum yeah?... Just remind us who the inbred, backward, bigot is again?

  • @toppaz79 LOL,,u really need to research what the orange order are,,Im a irish republican which by def means as a republican i do not care what what race or faith a person is,,i judge them by there actions,,the orange order on the other hand has its num one rule that NO catholic can join it,( not that any right minded person wud want to),,also its rule state that non of its members cant attend a catholic funeral,wedding,,etc,,now if that is not a shower of bigots tell what is...

  • @PATRICKEIRE Also why should we, the British, dedicate a song to our ENEMIES? The people that threaten to kill us? Is it our fault if the Afghans don't care enough about their own people to mourn and celebrate them properly? It isn't our job to support our enemy, and thats what Islam is. Either support the people defending your rights or just go live with the enemy, too many bleeding heart PC idiots around these days.

  • Is that what all the fuss is about? BIG DEAL!!!

  • They're raising awareness of their love for their partners and their desire to raise money for military charities who support servicepersonnel who have been damaged by the ongoing wars all over the world. It isn't about the singing, the music, the 'perfection' of the singers, its about the message they're sending to the world. And, if they're outselling the rest of the top 20 put together, then I'd say that plenty of people are listening. Merry Christmas haters :P

  • @FragileAngelThread

    We should not need charitities to support people disabled in the military. The same people that support this atrocious "music" simultaneously object to paying the disabled,

  • I cant belive the guy who posted this is blocking anyone who doesnt like it.....BLOCKED.....LOL

  • This is bilge! Dominick the Donkey for Xmas No.1!!

  • @bufon63

    Merry Christmas ....I prefer Turkey!

  • @1066donald

    Obviously some people are....how should I put it....F.O.S......FULL OF....SONG! At this time of year....lol.....but if they keep singing the same one...I'm afraid they will end up like the old Christmas Carol ......"SILENT" night. I'm sorry but all swearing and political views will be removed ....and....those people responsible for such action....BLOCKED.

  • Comment removed

  • @1066donald you only dont like people having different views from yourself, I saw comments here earlier which were relevent like the choice to enter the service and the validity of todays "wars" which has a direct reflection on how much sympathy people should have for these women whos husbands follow these insane orders. And you deleted them just for having different ideas - well lets see how long this post stays up! the song is not sung well and the message is flawed along with thier husbands

  • @SuperSuperBadman

    OK...I agree with your statement, but the majority of removed posts were for swearing and/or sexually explicit....yours is not!

  • @1066donald why delete the one where the guy was saying about the teachers choir then? that was seriously funny and no adult content

  • @SuperSuperBadman

    Probably got carried away lol

  • @SuperSuperBadman

    I just read through your comments again and suddenly realised how vindictive you are....and it seems that you are somewhat also..."Flawed" ....along with, how did you put it....THIER husbands!

  • @SuperSuperBadman At least they are doing something like their husbands.

  • I have respect for the soliders and these women but personaly i dont like it.... :/

  • A friend of mine's grandson died during training in Wales (he fell down the side of a mountain). He would have been a good soldier. The risks these men and women are exposed to (necessary risks) do not start when they go on active service.

  • @newtonscat

    You are right to highlight the risks our Forces endure...as you said not only on the front line, but, also training... again, this is why I bought the CD.

  • My son is one of the Sailors that put himself at risk every day - and I pray for his safe return everytime he is away - He will not be home with his family this christmas - instead he will be spending christmas day in the middle of an ocean

  • @MsRobbo31

    This song is definitely for you and thousands like you...that's why we all support it.

    Merry Christmas to you and your Family.

  • @1066donald isnt this a political comment?? funny how you dont block these people

  • I don't think it's that good to be honest. However, the sentiment is lovely and they deserve to be number 1 over Little Mix who are massacring Cannonball.

  • @georgiegarfield

    Your Keyboard must be malfunctioning...when you type the letter... "I" ...the word "don't" follows it...maybe you should have it checked lol.

  • Comment removed

  • thchangingman you very quickly forget , how lucky you are , my heartfelt thanks to all our boys and girls around the world who put their lives on the line everyday so we can sleep safe at night , and of course these amazing ladies NO1 THIS WEEKEND YOU BET.

  • some of those wives look like they would be more handy on the battlefield than thier husbands.

  • @nilscoram haha thats true! bless em'

  • some of those wives look like they would be more handy on the battlefield than thier husbands. if they played this loud enough in the middle east im sure some of the terrorists would hand themselves in

  • @nilscoram

    Hi....I'd like to take a guess at your line of work...umm...let me think...umm...got it...your a comedian...no...that couldn't be right..because comedians are funny...so you must be a...music critic...no...that can't be right either... music critics know about ...music, so...you MUST work in a Modelling Agency...you know...taking photographs of beautiful....Railway tracks and Buses and Boats....get a life...oh...and don't forget to have your hearing aid batteries...changed....Bye!

  • @1066donald Umm....please....can..you....s­top talking....like this....

    they aren't amazing but glad their doing it for a cause.

  • wow, powerful song.

  • Lol.. P.S i forgot to add as i ran out of room i like the song ..:))

  • it shouldnt matter if the song is good or bad ... but what does matter is the fact these women are doing this for all troops and if it makes the men out there fighting / keeping the peace keep there heads held high and booost there spirits then im all up for hearing more its the thoguht what counts and for all the mouthy people i dont see you doing anything for your country or showing your support other than viewing your points at women whom are thinking of others and more so at this time of yr.

  • @TechNoirClub Well I never, ever, thought I'd have two people giving me the same link....and within 3 minutes of each other....quick... copy and paste each others, site, that way you can keep each other company....because you obviously deserve each other....Bye!

  • @BiteTheBigOne2342

    I apologise YOU are clearly well educated...you are right...I don't believe in free speech...NOW, because YOU ARE using this Video to exacerbate your own political sentiments...GOODBYE!

  • no one can honestly say they are not moved by the words and performance of this tune, well deserved number 1 for these girls, spare a thought for the serviceman and woman fighting this christmas. sorry Little Mix but you have been outclassed this year.

  • This so deserves to be number 1 well done to all concerned, it brought water to my eyes a moving tribute to our troops sailors and airman. sorry Little Mix but you have been out done this year

  • @treturouscarnage

    I agree with tour sentiments..."this is just lush"...but I'm sorry the swearing has to go!

  • @1066donald sorry! but what some people are saying about this is wrong on every level.

  • @treturouscarnage

    OK can we all put our soap boxes...away... and simply ignore the minority...and PLEASE will the minority use their own politically motivated blog sites instead of facilitating this video for their own purposes, thank you.

  • Have just left the British Army after a very long career, I have had the privilage of living in many military communities since 1975!. I cannot think of another television programme that has managed to capture so well, the selfless, strong spirit that creates the fantastic teamwork we see here. A lovely piece of music. Congratulations Ladies!
