Powerhouse 2007 (HD) - Don't Stop Believing/Any Way You Want It

[lmacheer2]

that was amazing and gave me chills 

[ch2010ize]

I wonder how the soloist feels that she was Rachel Berry before Rachel Berry.

[teamemmett90210]

@ch2010ize haha john burroughs has been like this forever! they're in california and EVERYONE loves them in ohio!

[OboePirate]

The creator of Glee was originally inspired by this group.

[hnycup]

i love choreographed dancing

with a geroup of people

[DobbysChannel]

"livin ina lonely weerrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllld" lol

[1epicfai]

if you want to know what junior high I'm from its Vineyard Junior High and I beleive we have a couple vidioes on youtube feom past years.

[1epicfai]

Yuou guys arnt too bad but I'm in a junior high show choir and we do way more difficult moves than you guys thats pretty sad because you guys are in high school

[ew19ew]

honestly they arnt too terrible they are just not as good as a lot of other show choirs. they sing out of tune a lot and their soloists are always bad, but if they would switch to actual dancing rather then just doing arm-ography (arm choreography) they could be better.

[LDKimbell]

I thought they did a good job...



[X3MK0218]

they cant sing, they dont look the part and they cant dance......

[bmxcooldude123]

ahhh so bad!

[tubbsyclone]

thats very easy choreography and it was still slopy and vocals were just ok

[destineegirrl]

this is real show choir but they STILL arent as great as the show choir at our school. and we have less than half the people they do. and we sound alost better. they were better than what they did on americas got talent, but they got nothing on us. dislike all you want but if you SAW AND HEARD us youd agree and im not at all biased.

[XFactorFan01]

John Burroughs needs better female soloists, what a disgrace :O The current one is no better

[Jakkinx]

New Directions is fake and they can't even dance. This is real showchoir.

[lms97jb]

New Directions is WA better!

[SlimShaney08]

@lms97jb rumor is new directions was based off this choir

[lms97jb]

@SlimShaney08 really? thts pretty cool

[SlimShaney08]

@lms97jb ya, but its obvious why lol

[thinkgood]

Okay, this is what high school kids look like. Not like the kids on Glee.

Great job, though.

[lukedawg111]

second soloist...amazing! first one...well i agree with @malouisel

[JSMorris2011]

yep.



[JSMorris2011]

yep.

[kmsfieldhockey32]

looks like a real show choir had this ideabefore glee did

[mywelchybaby]

@kmsfieldhockey32 this choir is what glee was based off of

[ProSkaterZ]

We beat them :)

[tskot]

@ProSkaterZ What choir are you in?

[doorstep111]

the first girl was ugly

[dmommy]

@DOA223 only some of the auditorium scenes are filmed at Cabrillo High.

The choir room itself, for the pilot, was shot AT JBHS.( I was there....)

[charleytriplett18]

i think the first soloist shoulda been a guy. she doesnt really fit the part very well. but this is very good. they are great!

[ryismazin]

aw man.....

it felt like a concert... not a comp show.

good job..... but still. give me more of the choir! :)

[smashbrosbrawler93]

This is favorited just because of that second soloist!

[callmealice100]

the soloists are good and the group is good i just think they need more volume.

[MrNateshouse]

I don't know what you are talking about, the first soloist was perfect.

[youngerman345]

That boy at 2:41 is adorable (:

[p4nth3rtwilight]

First soloist just plain sucks!

[ferretindrag9490]

i agree

[trbhokie]

this didn't strike me as amazing ... just saying

[dpayne91]

holy mother of christ solo 2 is amazing

[grooglez]

so this happened first before glee?

wow

[ajgsteps]

Clearly GLEE producers got inspired from this group. Love it! Costumes and all. Too funny :)

[ejv1271]

someone shoot the first soloist.... PLEASE

[kodysharp]

Is the first soloist Melissa Joan Hart? You know Sabrina? I swear they are twins..

[guitarheropsycho]

they are a world recognized choir that inspired glee so just like many shows are today its a spinoff of the choir

[TheFirstArkady]

why is she singing so completely off key in the beginning?

[MyUndeadFate]

...Ehhh. Get rid of the first soloist PLEASEEEE.

[gashups]

They seem a bit off key.... and what the HELL are they wearing...not to mention the choreography looks like their trying to creepily seduce the judges. i mean that little butt shaking thing made me cringe a bit.

[debusen566]

they're good

but they're dancing wayyyy to cheese

like a little more dynamic

but i love the ending hand thing

I can see where glee got it from

[andyc5155]

Well they did have a good key

[krissf]

The Chick at the end can belt it out but the rest of the song i didnt like at all.Costumes where just horrible sorry.Ive seen them do better.

[drumtap2792]

Lol, even the Glee choir room was based on theirs. x)

[sosoally12]

the first soloist is alright

[pikakairi123]

omg,this is one of the clubs that glee (the series) was inspired by,even the season finale was based on this performance cus ryan murphy was that amazed by this! good job powerhouse!!

[RachSaysHi]

hhahaha thats ironic

[tumnus103192]

First soloist was okay, but the ending soloist totally blew my socks off. Amazing job; I'm very impressed. This makes me wish my school had a show choir :(

[MyUndeadFate]

first soloist ..eh..

Coreography

OMG! nice :)

[ReallyRick]

This was done BEFORE the Glee version?  Wow, these guys are great!

[broadwayislife18]

@ReallyRick dude, Glee steals EVERYTHING from john burroughs powerhouse. in fact, they even filmed the pilot in THEIR choir room! John Burroughs Powerhouse even performed their "Rock Me Amadeus" set on Oprah.

[missash70]

@broadwayislife18 they didn't steal it. john burroughs powerhouse is there inspiration,,

[soprano17sc]

@missash70 uhhh except no... the original creator, ian brennan was in prospect mixed company. i can name a million "coincidences" between glee & mixed company

[DOA223]

Now we know where glee got the idea for their version of the song. It WAS filmed in JBHS, after all.

[ryguy818]

@DOA223 Actually it was filmed at Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School in Long Beach

[DOA223]

@ryguy818 Well, technically it was filmed at both. It's been confirmed multiple times that at least a portion of glee was filmed there. whether JBHS was the Carmel high school or McKinley, i'm not all that sure.

[tskot]

@DOA223 The JBHS choir room was used for the McKinley choir room in the pilot. The McKinley choir room in the series is a modified version of the Burroughs choir room.

[jsyl9494]

oooo first soloist is bad...

[xcgxparawhore]

I don't know why some people are saying horrible singing. I know I could never ever sing like that even if I had all the training in the world o_o.

[darren229]

amazing coreography!

[kennedyKILLJOYx3]

i honestly love the whole thing other than the first soloist; doesn't compare to this year though! :D

[kgkatie]

this is amazing!!!! two great songs!! must say tho the soloist at the start is quite awful but oh well, its still great! :)

[SlimShaney08]

there are sooooo good the first soloist such confidence and the choir WOW they are amazing

[zazapower]

Very interesting for high school performance. Where in the world is this high school that can afford these costumes????? I wannna go there ... whine whine whine

[sxystar41]

@ most of the parents can afford the costumes or their is fundraiser... trust me the costumes are not cheap... Miss Powerhouse !! :(

[Girlin204]

@zazapower in Southern California.  They do a lot of fundraising.

[iluvmypupsx2]

I've watched all of their videos, and their probably the all-time best I've ever seen. Their amazing! Good job!!!!!!!!!!!! And those soloist are AMAZING! :)

[shadydude25]

I saw them today way too amazing

[ashleyeastwest]

The first soloist is so pretty and a good singer. Love her. Go Ben!! <3

[malouisel]

love the ending soloist =) first one not so much....

[lukedawg111]

@malouisel the ending note of the first one...ouch

[Sui665]

Baaah that was amazing. So glad my teeny little school in the middle of nowhere doesn't have to compete against you guys. We'd never win lol you're amazing!

But then, it's hard to do bad when you're singing Journey. :)

[StevenTheDeadBird]

how many times a week do they practice?

[youngerman345]

The best part of that was the soloist's dress rip. But that's it.

[whyyesiamawesomeful]

Why am I reminded of the deaf choir on Glee..?

[Pact1017]

HAHAHA LOL YOU WINS!

[ollycavner]

that was pretty awesome! who is the guy behind the second soloist as she sings "Don't stop, believing" He, and everyone else looks like they are havign so much fun!

[Chengsta92]

I've gotta say I'm so impressed with how much better and more innovative Powerhouse has gotten since this performance.

[k21smith6]

then who is meant for this solo?  She's amazing!!!

[whitelightbulb41]

Soloist is NOT meant for this SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[B2kroc]

@whitelightbulb41 you're right. She's better fit for oprah.

[kennedyKILLJOYx3]

i'm doing the same thing, but a different arrangement. this is horrible.

[xyomama2x]

GLEE!!! AHHH!!!

[hilltoppermusic12]

That was dreadful.

[FremontTiger]

this year our show choir is doing dont stop believing. this was awesome. btw im in 7th grade

[ashuhleyduh]

I am in show choir. I really like the choreography, but honestly I didn't enjoy the singing.

[Rylee2010]

agreed . choreography was amazing . on point , but the singing was quite unfortunate =( that soloist was . . well 'nough said

[sxystar41]

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS up.. I have been looking for it for ages.. no offense... when the old directed brendan jennings.. it aws awesome!!! I am not very fond of the new style of Powerhouse... I remember watching them perform in high school....

[sxystar41]

PS the last soloist her name is Augina.. she is great... very sweet person.. she is on tour right now.. for rent.

[lovetolaugh716]

shes on tour? wow thats weird. i find her voice hard to listen to. is she mimi?

[FATandHOMO]

No shes not...

[sxystar41]

I'm sorry I meant Mary Rago.. this is the person who directed Burroughs back in the day.. this is her last year.... I loved them here.... then it went all theatric.. I hated it.

[evaekvall143]

her last year was in 2006, this is the first year for brendan jennings

[animekiti4christ]

actually, this was the first year without Mrs.Rago...I remember because this was my freshman year, which was the first year of Mr.Jennings directing.

[dolphinlover4892]

the first soloist

her voice.

is annoying

[dolphinlover4892]

the first soloist's voice annoys the crap outta me

[SpencerMattB]

Choreo is amazing!

[theeashleyjensen]

Great dancing, horrible singing...

[kit1129]

They loved doing this. You can see the joy on their faces, and in their energy.

I disagree that the guys costumes were tacky, I loved the tat sleeves.

[musicfreakjake]

great transitions of the two songs i thought my video skiped for a sec lol

[mrxquiksilver]

singing, so so.

costume, awesome.

choreography, excellent.

[bebepineapple]

yeah the first soloist voice kinda bugs me. i liked the second soloist better

[HeroCard2012]

hahah i could tell she was going to have some sort of dress change because of the way her dress was in the back. but still cool though.

[imaqt955]

OMG i loooove the girl's outfits!!

[Sask4321]

good soloists

[DiskofeverXcore1975]

guy outfits....are sooo tacky.

gah

[gchskidd2011]

=) i love this

[littlesuper410]

i dont like it at all

[MrBR0WNCOW]

im sure your showchooir can do better..... right?

[matt92091]

The first soloist is really bothering me for some reason. She is on key for the most part, but just has a really annoying voice.

[floydfreak967]

i hate it when soloists have crazy hands

[partyfreak800]

agreed amaziing and last soloist gave me some chills and made me cry a little

[centaur532]

first singer was a little off-pitch but agree, last soloist was amazing!

[anonymuschan]

watching this makes me wish i knew how to sing.

[evaekvall143]

does anyone know if they won fame orlando this year?

[evaekvall143]

[jewjewberry]

yeah we were grand champions in orlando!

[evaekvall143]

[sadiebenzmpms]

[lancebp]
