  • When I graduated, a guy in my class sang this and did AMAZING!

  • Why do humans have a habit of destroying beauty

  • this video makes me cry every single time!

  • it's sad for the animals . I almost cried . i wish the oil was never invented cuse animals whould stop dieing .

  • @FlyOnScooter oil wasn't "invented", it was founded. Its from dead animals (i believe, I know it is from something dying) and earth molted it basically for millions of years and turned it into precious oil. But I also, wish oil was never founded and used. But without it, you wouldn't have a lot of modern luxuries you have now. Like plastic, vehicles, etc...

  • i cried at this video.

  • I'm seriously sick of people saying something about the number of dislikes.

  • FUCK BP!

  • :( help

    

  • Maakt mijn vrouw heel blij

  • I can't look at the video. Not with this music. This music is so beautifull.... Complete opposite from the video....

  • 46 people dont believe that there's a place over the rainbow...

  • CUIDEMOS EL PLANETAAAAAA!!! PAZ PARA TODOS

  • Uhmm, guys..

    The oil is cleaned out of the ocean, and was like 3 months ago . That was then; this is now. Worry about what's happening in our world now , and don't blame anyone or anything for the past because everything happens for a reason . Kthanksbye.

  • Ya know, BP utilized bacteria and viruses to help better move the oil out of the well. So there isn't just oil on those animals, Genetically modified living organisms or Man-made diseases(potentially) in the gulf ocean as well. An unnatural, man-made, synthetic organism is in the ocean RIGHT NOW, with a synthetic gene-code to fuse with other NATURAL organisms. Worst of all, it's made to resist antibiotics.

  • Wtf are we doing, seriously, we are killing the world =S some people are really messed up, they make a huge mess like this in the world and let others clean it up, pieces of shit..!

  • haha we ll live

  • poor animals... and u know who'r the animals? it's us...

  • Great video - very inspiring. Hope that we can create something for our nonprofit just as powerful! Thank you.

  • "We're sorryy."

  • breaks my heart that everyone's trying to help clean this up, but the people responsible are just sitting on their asses.

  • the animals made something rong? if they did, tell me! D:

  • amazing song, epic, i love this version

  • Cablevision blocked FOX, booo where is my Glee? Right here watchgleestreamingnow (.) com yay!

  • I have to admit, I a litte cried when I saw this.

  • I nearly cried the first time I saw this. And just to make it stupidly ironic, the BP channel's ad keeps popping up!

  • idk why people are so shocked over this. i mean y'all elected obama, what did you think was going to happen??? lesson learned. you reap what you sow kids......

  • @latinasdoitbetter1

    it's nothing to do with obama, it's about what people do about this, and other situations... obama is one single man... we, citizens, are over a million...

    we can change reality for the better, all that is needed is good, strong will.... but most people have already renounced to being controlled : )

  • i am crying so much right now all the poor animals and the earth...this earth is just messed up no wonder all this crap is happening to us flooding and earthquakes....nothing is peacefull on this plant!

  • I'm crying

  • I strongly agree! There is allways a choice to leave better world, even when the current situation do not correspond to our standards.

  • haha all the animals are dead.

  • @RenobJC That isn't even funny you don't just say that

    that is freakin messed up what if you where one of those animals

  • @on3lightning girl be chill. he is just trolling. let him say what he wants and ignore it or your just encouraging him

  • @4756jonathan buddy im a guy

  • ): the animals..

  • I like this song so much i learnd to play it on guitar and i sang it at my boys 2nd birthday!!! LOVE GLEE!!!!! FU BP!!!!

  • cant some one just turn the tap off? it baffles me how they couldn't just shut it off.

  • @vanillafudge123 im completely confused about that too. it must be more complicated than going down there and smelting the pipe shut... oh... wait.

  • shut up hippies

  • Oh wow.

  • this made me cry so much

  • I love the song but I feel really bad for the animals =<

  • Its a shame these corporations will scrape the planet for every last resource to make themselves rich. Earth belongs to us all and its a shame we cant travel freely and see the world. People are always trying to control what we do and they way we live.

  • Fuck you BP

  • This song is truely amazing. i started crying when i first heard it.

  • @sammrobertsxx me too!!! shoe and isreal sing it so amazingly!

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know why but when I heard that song and I saw the images I just can't help it I star crying .....

  • Its so annoying, so many of you are sitting there talking like experts and saints, but at the exact same time you're sitting behind your electricity driven PC in your nice warm oil heated room. If you all know so much better, why isnt the world just being led by youtubers? Seriously.. anyway, nice video - very moving and what a brilliant song!

  • The song is beautiful, but is just not the same unless IZ is singing it.

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG :')

  • who posts this its really sad

  • touching xx

  • WHO CARES ABOUT THE COVERS!?!?!!? This is about the oil spill. =/

  • Wow your so right...

  • this is nothing compared to some of the oil spilled in south africe(atleast i think thats where it is) 10 times the ammount of oil spilled here is spilled every year people only care because its near america i say we stop BP once and for all they are ruining the world for younger generations

  • crazyrandom3

    is right, great Video

  • i say corporate america should be the blame the stupid goverment needs to figure out how to stop the percentage of pollution that u put into the air each year and i also blame OBAMA! i wonder what would happen if john mcain was elected

  • @RandomP3ople exactly the same thing would have happened....the oil leak still would have happened!

  • You're all wrong. This song is a cover of Isreal Kamakawiwiole's cover of Judy Garland. :P 

  • Also, this is just my opinion, but I know it all seems ironic and all, but it's nothing to do with karma, or God, it's just that the oil rig or whatver it was sprang a leak. Please, don't take it personally.

  • who were they covering when they did this for the show?

  • @homerunhita12 it's from The Wizard of Oz! Though I can't remember the name of the girl who sang it, my memorie is failing me once again!

  • @timtamlolsatbubbles lol well obviously I knew that, I just thought someone remade it recently. thanks tho

  • @timtamlolsatbubbles Judy Garland. :)

  • @homerunhita12 Actually, it was a cover of Isreal Kamakawiwiole. He was a famous hawaiian ukulele player.

  • You should check out the @copepink YouTube Channel on @grnkss favs / Women In Peace last acts.

  • The message is great and song matches the video and the world we live in, but i prefer the original.

  • Let's learn something from this disaster. Please create alternate energies to avoid polluting our environment with toxic chemicals. This kills wildlife first, this kills us next. The toxins from this oil spill seeps into soil and poisons crops grown close to the shores that this infects. Cancer is on the increase in high pollution areas and it is our fault for allowing things like this to happen. Green energies, please!

  • check out victoria parks version of this song!! Its amazing!! Just type in victoriaparkofficial into the search.

  • things like this really do my head in, if the government really is doing all these horrible things then wen the heel is karma goin to do sumfin about it? iv done alot of bad things in life and i am currently payin for them , bt from wat i see nothing happens to these ppl they seem to get away with everything its balls. we are th people and its time we did something i just hope its not to late

  • The only way to solve it is with a miracle. America must repent from their sins and obey Jesus Christ. When you do repent completely and obey Jesus Christ you WILL SEE HIS FACE EVERYWHERE! literally his eyes, nose mouth and beard. If you say you are christian and do not see that God's face is everywhere you ARE NOT and in grave danger of eternal hellfire. SEE MY VIDEOS to see what happens when people repent and obey Jesus Christ!

  • I love this song!! <3

  • WE THE PEOPLE, was writen in the constitutiion with capital letters because our founding fathers knew that we are the ones we have been wating for. No politician, CEO, or CORPORATION with their greed and agendas will ever make a difference in this world. IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK.

  • poor animals

  • Does anyone know what the melody is? It sounds really familiar when they do that "3-step raise" at 0:44 1:10 2:20 I've had it on my head since this aired, please help me! Thanks!

  • why cant bp just fix this it has affected soo much land, animals and people

  • It seems alright to blame BP for this serious disaster but where has Obama been? I mean he only went to the oil spillage incident twice in 2 month (I think, correct me if I am wrong)

    It seems like that its only BP thats actually trying to save the American wildlife which dont get me wrong, is a very very nice piece of wildlife.

    And I totally agree to those people saying that WE should all do something, not just blaming BP.

    I agree navinavi66

    Dont troll on me for saying this, just a opinion.

  • FUCK BP!

    FUCK BP

    FUCK BP

    FUCK BP FUCK BP!

    MONEY HUNGRY BITCHES. WHAT A SHAME.

  • thanks for making this vid. this is such a big problem, and yet no teens i know are even aware of what's going on. so thanks for providing awareness :)

  • BP sucks

  • it is a lot worse than this video shows.

  • It's way worse than this video show it I can't believe someone went to all the trouble of making such a great video and made it look like like it was under control. This is an outrage. The oil industry has no idea how to clean up an oil disaster of this magnitude. they are overwhelmed and so much red tape is involved in the processing of everything it will be a long time before anything gets done.

  • Make BP provide a $ 500 debit card for every cleaning crew member. They can spend the money to support restaurants and stores in the area that so badly need it now. Don't let BP get away with the mess they have created. Let's Make'em Pay!

  • Too many thoughts for 500 character limit on youtube. Thanks for posting your video. And remember to wear a respirator - there's benzene in the air.

  • One world, one ocean... we will never know how much damage to the ecosystem of the world that this has cause. The rich doesn't have to answer to us but they will have to answer to God. we all will pay for our sins. Do what you can and leave the rest to God. We are all human. We can't carry the world on our shoulders. Those that are responsible and those in power, who are turning a blind eye to this for whatever reason will pay. It's going to be a mighty hot day in hell. Greed is a sin.

  • primero fue el tiempo de los dinosaurios, quien sabra que habran hecho para cambiar su habitat al punto de su exterminio, serian los dinosaurios quienes crearon las piramides? la isla de Pascuas y todas esas otras cosas que los cientificos no pueden explicar solo conjeturas? nuestro tiempo esta llegando, como otra civilizaciones, culturas y formas animales hemos echo lo que ellos antes. Se nos inflo el ego.

  • #Amazing

  • "we have the choice", is always said after a disaster, but there is no choice, oilmulti will go on like ever, each one of us goes on with his big car, no one tells his boss to stop the pollution of his factory, and no one stops his own goverment for making mega bullshit...why..

    because money and luxus is much more important for us

    then sitting in a green or swimming in a fresh ocean, or taking in a city where you live a breath of fresh air?

  • These poor animals don't even know whats happening to them and why. It's unfair that they have to suffer for something that greedy humans implemented on them.

  • my god i hope this will be the last to happen all over the world

  • can somebody tell me the day this started April,??? and what day is it???

    thanks

  • Can they use this song to raise funds because it's damn sure raising awareness. I will work for the same thing they pay me at my old job just to give some kind of progress on this thing.

  • somewhere over the rainbow, BP can die.

  • THUMBS UP if you know that you CAN help !!!

  • It's funny that this video is taking on "Big Oil" from the view of a boat and helicopter...which both consume...oil. Way to go, EDF.

  • @CUcaulfield And you would recommend that EDF shoot footage from a canoe or a hot air balloon? No organization has done more to promote strong national policies to end our addiction to oil and transition to a cleaner energy future. You should check out EDF President Fred Krupp's book Earth: The Sequel or Eric Pooley's new book The Climate War to get a sense of EDF's work in this area.

  • @samtparry I don't recommend anything aside from not wasting gas to make viral videos.

  • Don't blame Obama, nor the BP. IT'S OUR FAULT. WE accept and promote these and all the other catastrophes in the world, by depending on them or by just nodding with our heads. It is ourselves, don't you realize? IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THIS. It's time to leave the STUPIDITY, the consumption, the destruction and the killings away. AND REALIZE OF OUR TRUE POTENTIAL.

  • Its like if the birds we're standing there, looking at the mess and saying, nodding with their heads "Shame of you".

    Please send love, just love and light to the Gulf. It'll work. It only depends on us.

  • sad just tragic

  • LOL deepwater horizon

  • This will stop the leak. That is the first order of business. Money considerations should not be put before the need to stop the leak

    youtube.com/watch?v=yBRCuiDFwS­4

    Meanwhile, looking for investors to provide capital for development in exchange for an equity stake in my company and/or the patent.

  • I would go and help but my mom won't let me!

  • seriously this need sorting out, if they just stop bitching, moaning, shifting the blame and concentrate on sorting it out then it wont take long. seriously we are all in this mess together so pull your finger out and do something about it. i dont blame anyone, but isnt it more important to clean this up rather than blaming different people. So they should just grow up and get on with it, these animals dont deserve this, they are suffering because of us so do something about it. rant over...

  • No one seems to get without oil we would have no computer's no plastic and no technology and it was just an accident

  • the water is black. which is weird and wrong. it's disgusting and people should be doing something about it. and i dont just mean BP, Obama, ect.

  • Blame Bush/Cheney and all the other pro-pollution oilists. Blame yourselves for not listening to and re-electing Jimmy Carter.

  • shouldn't we be blaming the oil movers?

  • @caelinwwe98 The Americans.

  • Bitch Bitch yada yada. STOP wining and do something, And GOD wont do anything either, You have to do it! The power of the people can do it. but it takes more then 2 or 3 activists, We the people need to rise up and pressure our politicians to do whats right for the people of this planet not the pocket. Remember Obama is just a figure head, and it's just a mater of wether he's yours or theres. So get up and be counted and stop wining like a stuck pig. DO IT NOW you know YOU CAN...

  • lets not vote for oil company excutives to be Senators of California!

  • that is just really really depressing

  • People act like this isnt a big deal. If it keeps going on and oil keeps getting spilled into the water, everyones going to be affected. This is sick and disgraceful. People that think wasting time and money on this are just plain stupid. This IS a tragedy.

  • whilst it is heartbreaking to see birds covered in oil: i'd like to remind you yanks of a few facts. 1, amount to be paid by BP: $20 billion (and quite right too!), 2, the amount paid to the victims of Bhopal by Dow Chemicals: Zero. Also, no american has EVER been put on trial in India for a crime that has killed over 25,000 people. Please spread the word. This is typical usa gov' hypocrisy.

  • Fuck BP and Obama !

    Obama wants to be a dictator, well, let him dictate to BP/Amoco to sell off all their gas stations and property to an American oil company and get the fuck out of the U.S.A. !

  • this is an AMAZING song and it is all the better with the pictures!!! GLEE FTW!!!!!!

  • aww this is so sad i really was touched after i saw these pictures

  • the people who are doing the actual clean up have entire body suites and ventilation system masks there are gases being released which will eventually spread through out the world. This was not a mistake people look at the evidence Goldman Sachs sold 44% of BP owned stocked since January this year CEO of BP sold 1.7 billion pounds of share up to a week before the disaster and guess who worked on the oil rig hours before explosion Haliburton if that doesn't convince you go play in traffic

  • @pimpdas420 and why would they do this on purpose? lol

  • Comment removed

  • nice... check out my oil spill song at OILSONGdotcom

  • Fuck BP

  • Ah well I am British and really couldn't give a shit. It's about time the Yanks got it stuffed up them. YIPPIEKIAAYE motherfuckers.

  • BP shouldnt have any days off

    at the same time theyr having yaht races

    its a sad world :'( </3

  • Fuck bp

  • awww

  • Don't wear a white swimsuit.

    youtube.com/watch?v=PBddxvWEWE­U

  • It's American companys which have done this. I don't get why the BP are getting blamed.

  • This is an accident. This is an unfortunate occurrence. This is not a tragedy. 60 days? Some Pelicans and sea turtles with oil on them. Try SEVEN YEARS of genocide in Darfur and Sudan. That's tragedy. I highly doubt that the 15 year old girl taking care her younger siblings on a dirt floor in a mud hut couldn't care less about this "tragedy" all she wants to do is make sure she lives another day and feeds her family.

  • @bcdicarlo04 this is true though a lot of U.S. citizens see the oil spill as something tragic and get really upset when there is no need to be, their emotions are just getting in the way and now their not seeing that there is worse situations out there

  • It's so sad, I can't believe it's taken this long and still yet oil is still spilling in the gulf. So upsetting):

  • I could have pulled my house out of a canyon created by an earthquake, by myself, after 60 days. WTF

  • @lotzoso almost impossible things can be done if given enough time...

    our entire ocean can be destroyed. if given enough time.

  • BP...British Pricks!

    I could have pulled my house out of a canyon from an earthquake on my own in 60 days.

  • Obama him self has called it a disaster on nation wide tv.

    Where is the federal relief. The feds always provide relief in any disaster.

    This time all we get is talk?

  • @wildgooch24 lol try making a coherent statement you dumb ape

  • @YoungBucksFather You use the same comments each time. Im actually quite ammused by it. And I dont think im a whining bittch. Im pretty sure im the pretty kind. DEAL. And lol you sound like the antichrist from south park. It ok cuz i know one day ninjas are going to steal your only ball. Youll be sorry:) mwahahah! ;*

  • It's tragic what's happened to the coast! I hope BP can clean up their mess... do realize though that this isn't Obama's fault. he's been in office, for what, a year?!?! COME ON PEOPLE! THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WAS A BUNCH OF CRAZED OIL HOGS!!! They're the ones who started this fucking mess!

    But BP does need to get it's act together... And the US needs to find new sources of energy. Because if we don't, things like this are just going to keep happening...

  • This world we live in is not ours - its the governments world - unless we do something about it . ****** thumbs up if you agree

  • At 0:30 it is so heart breaking! The poor animals dying every day, and getting coated in disgusting oil. It brings tears to my eyes... :(

  • Thats me and you in the water next. we are in the worst kind of trouble. Thats our blood on the sand next.

    satan is entering end game. Get to know your saviour Jesus christ now before its too late. Without christ there is no hope//

  • can someone tell me what a bp is?

    

  • @johnchen0213 British Petroleum (sp?). It's the gas company that is blamed for this disaster. Which I blame them too.

  • My Oil Spill song at OILSONGdotcom

  • "And the second angel poured his bowl into the water, and the entire ocean turned red like the blood of a corpse, and every creature in the sea died" - Revelations 16:3

    Two months have gone by now and the entire time people's eyes weren't even on fixing this geyser, they were engaged in this endless debate, pointing fingers, political bickering, and more worried about what this will do to their pocket books than what will happen to the land.

  • Sadly, man has already made that choice a long time ago. People care not for the planet, or the future generations, or their own children. They just want to take now and worry later. This has been established.

    BP and the govt. caused this disaster, yes. But they're only following the publics lead. Public fought environmental regulations tooth and nail, they screamed about "hippie eco-nuts and their fascist agendas"

    They wanted cheap energy to save cash This is merely the true price

  • I say we declare war on those tea-drinking bastards!

  • @Dakashizzlenizzle why would you even do that? whats the point of killing more people for no reason?

  • @BritishDino u mad?

  • @Dakashizzlenizzle i'm not sure if i understand what you mean by mad, am i agitated yes, insane no

  • Obama wants the money from BP

    and doesnt

    even know what to do

    with it

  • @LyricsThatFly: obama got $20Billion set aside for the 'small' ppl (as BP likes to label us americans) who's livelihood were destroyed PLUS he got BP to pay for the clean up costs out of BP'S pockets

  • @rumpole33 NO THEY HADNT PAID YET WTF!

  • We're blaming Obama and BP when we need to be blaming the general deep oil practices and ourselves for not using cleaner energy methods. What do you expect Obama to DO about this? And BP was just a scapegoat; it could've happened to any company, it just happened to be BP. This happened because we refuse to live 5-10 years of inconveniences as we switch globally over to a cleaner energy source. Because of us, those wildlife will never come back and that water will never be the same. Not BP.

  • @genesisSOC glad to see someone has analysed the situation logically rather than just propose killing "those bp bitches"

  • @genesisSOC It was America's fault to begin with, not BP like everyone thinks it was.

  • @genesisSOC

    Actually BP is to blame. They used a less than par shutoff valve to protect from instances like this. If a company can shortcut to save money, that's what they are going to do. There's nothing wrong with pumping oil if its done correctly.

  • ITS ALL THEIR FAULT!!! BOYCOT BP AND MAKE THEM SUFFER FOR WHAT THEY DID TO OUR OCEANS ANIMALS!! I LOVE ANIMALS AND HATE BP WITH ALL MY HEART, MIND, AND SOUL!! HELP ME DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!! THEY WILL PAY FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE GULF!!!

  • @jtozie1 You're an idiot.

  • @jtozie1 you are being childish America wanted oil they got oil unfortunately a mishap happened and now the governments taking care of it so stop complaining and stay out of the way of the government so the cleanup doesn't take even longer

  • Well let's put it this way. I live in south Mississippi. I do alot of Coastly fishing. Mostly in the LA Marsh. All I can say is stuff happens. It's no ones fault stuff just happens. That's the problem with the world today, it has to be someones fault. Well guess what it might as well be our fault, the peoples fault, because we allow companies to drill in our coast. Get what I am saying? It's anybodys fault. Stop blaming stuff on people. Shit happens. Deal with it. Move on.

  • This makes me really sad to see these images. I hope this oil spill gets taken care of very soon because this is going to be extremely devastating for years to come. It's already beginning to take its toll and I can't imagine how much worse it will get if this leak doesn't stop. I don't live near the Gulf, but my heart goes out to the people who do.
