I Sing the Body Electric

[Naiant]

Not a bad job at all. The look between the soloists right before the music starts is priceless.

[Livdollsrock444]

i herd this on juniper lee

[chrislss8]

I thought you guys did a great job. This song means so much to me. A company that does 3 shows every year does this song at the end of every performance. And it makes me cry every time I sing it. Our most recent one is in the Video Response

[GregInCalifornia]

Great performance!

[doormatt2000]

My god .She's is going to be a star.

[OkinawaShisa]

Superb!

[stemikger]

Sarah is AWESOME!!! I came upon this by accident and it made my day. This kid can be a STAR!!!!

[MusikMom]

@stemikger

That's really sweet of you to say. I just posted her recent performance if you'd like to view it.

[stemikger]

@MusikMom I'll check it out. Is this your daughter. Wow!!! You must be so proud!!!

[MusikMom]

@stemikger

Yes, Sarah is my daughter and I am very proud of her.

[ksudude25]

I'm a former resident of Central Islip, NY. Congrats, Sarah has a beautiful voice.

[snype1215]

this is o.k. u want to hear something good? Grand Cities Childrens Choir. Im in Divo Voce. all 13-15 year olds. we are audition only. we sang twice with job christenson.

[loletaylor2]

They were 14? AWESOME Perfomance!!

[MusikMom]

Yes. Sarah had just turned 14 the week before.

[xvoy2002]

Beautiful!

[NightQUEENRainbowGi]

oh my gosh, she's good!!! We're singing this song at school for chorus. (We have like, our own little club thing that the music teacher runs) I'm trying to get the solo!!

[livinyolifehere]

me too wat school do u go to?

[nagaempress]

Keep fighting to get it...there is nothing like it in the world. For your 10 mins you are it and you can feel it. Break a leg...

[moorewjr]

they're too young to understand the lyrics. By 16 0r 17 they wil understand.

[MusikMom]

Then you'd be surprised to know how smart kids really are.

[nagaempress]

Oh yes they know...

[erinfranzen]

the chorus sounds like crap, but the soloists are good

[0152399]

I TOTALLY AGREE

[gildanca1]

Arrazaram.

Parabéns or Congatulations

[JonoTheClown]

OhMiDayz.

Sounds Rather Good. (Except The Screaming Child)

The Chorus Sounded Out of Tune abit, let you down the guy sounded abit rusty to.

But solo girl FTW.

England Ftw.

+ Little? Seems To be Tall to me XD

[MusikMom]

FTW?? For The Win?

[MusikMom]

....and parents should show some respect to the performers and DEFINITELY keep the screaming kids out of the auditorium.  That's just pure rudeness!

[JonoTheClown]

hahaha

It is slightly annoying :P

But we can safely know that child will grow up dis-liking this song XD

[JonoTheClown]

Got it in one :)

-Gives Shiny Item-

[MissUniverse67]

omg im learning this song for a concert at skool!!!!! i heart this song a lot!!!

[seoul588]

Very nice. Shame about the screaming kid.

[Mariegurl14]

I like it. We are doing this song at our Fall Showcase, so I like looking at other performances of it. The soloists have strong voice. Great support from the rest of the chorus too.

[ryanisabum]

love it

excellent job

what's the name of your skool?

[MusikMom]

Thanks!  Central Islip H.S.

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

Central Islip! Better than East Islip by far.

[machihuahua]

We sing this song after every peformance in summer performing arts. But we have a dance and altos don't take over :P Besides the evil altos its good

[lolgirl233]

did ths 4 my 5th grade gradulation :]lol

[souron34]

I love it. i learned this in the 7th grade. thanks for adding it to youtube.

[ItachiUchiha379]

omg i'm in 7th grade and we're doing it in chorus haha

[souron34]

I love it. I learned this song this year in choir and fell in love with it. thanks for adding it to youtube.

[MusikMom]

Your welcome! :-)

[lolgirl233]

i did ths 4 my 5th grade gradulation :]lol

[13Videos]

hehee. most lovely and fun. i'm many years from high school - but my electric singing voice is best grounded in the shower. to mr. whitman - once censored - now celebrated - universal genius of Life.

[lolgirl233]

tht was kwl we did ths 4 r 5th grade gradulation song

[Pug40]

the choir and soloists are excellent the arrangement sucked though.

[TheAmazingPurple]

my chorus did this i played the bass guitar :D i live on li too

[MusikMom]

cool.

[bubblezmaire]

u guys speed up the temp. it was way to fast half the time i couldn't understand you. my chorus sang this to but not as fast i love this song though

[Shardingan]

you're so luckiy to have solo's! my High school doesn't

[MusikMom]

why not?

[WildOne156]

I don't go to that person's school, but I can wage a pretty good guess as to why they don't allow solos. It's probably because the school doesn't want to say certain students are better or worse than others, and doesn't wanna single anyone out.

Which is really a pretty stupid way of going about it.

[MusikMom]

Most schools let the kids interested in solo's "audition" for the parts. A little competition is good for the soul.

[gymnasticsxox]

i love this song!! we r doing it as our chorus song and i have the same solo as u!! u r soo good <33 good luck!!

[actresss247]

pitchy! or my computer just sucks...but it sounds REALLY nice esp. the end!!!!

[MusikMom]

Okay - here's the scoop:

Artist - Fame soundtrack

Album - Fame

Lyrics - Wade Lassister---I Sing The Body Electric

[ahhMyHeadahh]

i love this song but whos original artist

[MusikMom]

Wade Lassister is the lyricist, and it was performed in the movie "Fame". That's really the only info I found when I googled it.

[ahhMyHeadahh]

so u think u kno the original singer cuz i kno the song is suposed to be like fastar kinda kinda like a rock song like the juniper lee version

[MusikMom]

I just know it from FAME

[Elphaba8908]

wow impressive! Esp. the soloists!

[N1ppyG1rl]

She is really good, I mean like wow I can't believe that little kid didn't like it lol

[Asunaro999]

tempo ???

[tomtomstuff]

Nice arrangement to a classic song

[loveyoux3always]

we just sang this at my high school im in 9th too..but ours was a little bit slower but great job =]

[DarkLoveValkyria]

She has a beautiful voice! when my school did this song, there were no solos.

[baumpi]

i think it's good. but it seems that he is bored of everything :D

[INDIANFIELD54]

she's got a really good voice! We're going to sing this song in our high school concert choir this year and it seems like good harmony.

[Mytheon151]

Can somebody please explain to me why do people sing this song in school a lot?

I'm not from around these parts..

[chelliroo]

It's just a song about achieving so much, having faith in yourself, knowing how great you are and how great you can be.

[MusikMom]

My daughter said that this song is easy to sing....plus - chorus teachers like when there's a simple harmony part for 9th graders.

[McKeNzIeBbz]

DUNNO REALLi...iTS A GOOD SONG TO SiNG AND HARMONiZE TO i GUESS...CORRECT ME iF iM WRONG GUYS...AND iT CAN BE SUNG SOLO AND WITH A CHORUS! iTS A GREAT SONG iSNT iT!

[myxgiftxisxmyxsong]

[myxgiftxisxmyxsong]

i don't know but we sing it in our spring finale every year and everybody absolutely loves it. it's just a really good song

[felixfre]

really congratulations, me hicieron revivir mis mejores tiempos, quien es la señorita que canta??

[AnimalRescue14]

This song needs more of a rock edge to it...

[ibanezrules3]

good singing they just need to smile more this will probably make them sound better, that always works for me and the choir in my school.

[beachsidesox]

I sang this song in choir 19 years ago. What a wonderful peformance by your daughter and the entire choir. Goosebumps listening. Thanks for sharing this.

[clrb15]

thats so cool...great job everyone...i agree, good harmonizing! :D:D

[crazy4life3661865]

good harmonizing....it would be better if the soloists "pursed" their lips, it makes a more elegant sound, many music teachers do this to create a more graceful effect. :) good work

[starryeyedbaby123]

shes got an amazing voice!

[strawberry618]

i sung it too!

[kevin4stell]

tell her to sing more from her diaphragm and less from her throat, shell be less airy. But she does have a good voice.

[MusikMom]

Check out some of her latest work at musikmom's site. She did extremely well as Audrey in Little Shop. Her voice matured quite a bit in a year.

[2030bayntedos]

wwhhooooaaaa!!! i've got goosebumps!!! i remembered the day when i used to dance this with my dance troupe...we got a really heavy line-up!!! we did it jazz!!!

[numbuh124]
