  • cv66john: Thank you for your service Brother.

  • I love this song. it is one of my favorites. I love the movie Jazz Singer. It was the best one. My mom got to meet Neil in person Backstage after the concert in 1986 and brought him a doze yellow roses to his dressing room and she was the only who did that. She said he is down to earth and they talked for over 2 hours. Later that week she got a personal letter from him. I still have the Book she got at the concert.

  • Today Today Today Todaaaay

  • i have to say, nice job neil diamond, BUT..... my music teacher makes us sing this over and over again to auto-mated voices and sound too perfect, so I'm not crazy about this song anymore........

  • haha love the suit

  • simpsons brought me here

  • A candidate for National Amthem, IMHO.

  • We wear jumpsuits of glittery rhinestones, and walk away, in slow motion!

  • This is the sweet land of liberty no brazil

  • listen up arizona

  • At 47 seconds, Neil says with one look,"I'm here to make panties drop and kick some ass." And at 4:20, he says,"I just dropped your panties and kicked your ass."

  • looks like 8 folks ain't comin' to America....really? Stop the madness!

  • @aychingao Mad rush to Brazil. Since when.

  • Great song. Fair movie remake. THe best version of the Jazz Singer in my opinion was the remake with Danny Thomas.

  • I didn't born in US but this country give me and treat me better than my own and for that I'M AMERICAN and proud of it, isn't a perfect country but is better than many many others, GOD BLESS USA 

  • @SStephane09 We're in the same boat. I might have roots elsewhere but I've adopted America as my home. This country rocks. As well as this song.

  • @SStephane09 It is nice that you recognize and appreciate these things. I wish more Americans that were born here in the States could too appreciate those freedoms instead of blaming the U.S. for all of the worlds problems.

  • Close your eyes and listen to the music.....Great Music from a MASTER....

  • Neil Diamond is America's Tom Jones :>)

  • I Love Neil Diamond his music is timeless!!

  • No more hate, please. This song is about hope and freedom. We offer freedom to all people, not just a select few. Keep that in mind.

  • What pisses me off is when people from other countries come to America, are living a much better life than their previous country of orgin , and conitnue to try to be little America.

  • I sang this song for my school's christmas concert! :D

  • I love that song.

  • This song is still true.

  • I am not being racist I am being real because if you are not bi-lingual in english/spanish in america it's harder for you to get a job. Yes the hispanic people are taking over and most of them don't want to learn our language.

  • This comment is for HesAPoet, dddunsky and specially to SuperRandom2121, why do you hate so much Latinamericans?? No wonder why so many people hate USA, thanks God for all the great American people that respect and embrace other cultures in their own country, thanks God I dont have to leave my family to make a living near haters like you !!! By the way I am centralamerican and I speak 3 languages, how many do you speak apart from English?.

  • This is what the mexican that cross you borders are singing we are coming to america to take ur jobs and for u to speak our language . press 1 for english press 2 for spanish

  • Hey Beacon! hear you. new complicated fone (had to spell phone wrong). nm.

    Love!

  • Thank you Navy from: Navy (truly I wanted school money, why we join millions of reasons, unite people. Yup, family, country, world. or world...) I have only heard how scary Ellis island could be, hats off. Brave. I would love to quote Mencina. idk if my (not distant ancestors) brought a thing ... except work ethic & hope. Ditched the old language. New means new. I love language, not skilled, but one generation ago seems long. Entitlement? Nope, hope. I am sure I am Far guiltless.

  • Still Outstanding! So many have come to America and they truly made a new life.

  • just timeless! N D..one of the best ever

  • Awesomeness!!

  • I am amazed at how self-serving and prejudicial people can be, seeing things only as if they were the object of a song that was clearly aimed at immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, in New York Harbor. I was on a ship anchored between Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, and they played "Coming to America". My relatives, as well as Neil Diamond's, all came through this point of entry, and became productive citizens. Mexico, Colombia, etc., had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with this song, PERIOD!

  • wonderfull song forever but i cant understand now i am now divorced in my heart and soul cause " coming to america " what he means exactly welcome europe people cause they have a good solid money or welcome mexicans people who have a week money ?¿ yes it means if you are from europe you are welcome but if you are from mexico colombia venezuela peru so pay first ! everyday new strangers living in the usa to push out of the ring the mexican people ? i dont believe you a single word

  • This song is about the US/Mexico border.

  • @joeyoyo123 this song is about people from all over the world who have immigrated to America. "Everywhere around the world, they're coming to America ... got a dream to take them there, they're coming to America..." So sad that people have to take this and belittle it, drag it down into negativity when it's such a positive, all-embracing song.

  • youll be hearing from dave copperfields lawyer

  • The movie critics ripped this movie to shreds; some even said it was the worst movie ever made. Neil Diamond may not be the greatest actor, but "America" made alot more appreciate this country.

  • Coming to Germany!! hehe,...i like the Song :D!

  • 7 people couldnt come to America

  • I served aboard the USS America and we played this over our P/A system when we pulled back in from our deployments.

  • @cv66john So what did you guys use for sore buttholes?

  • @cv66john serving aboard CV-62 USS INDY I believe the !MC was playing this on our return to Norfolk Pier 12

  • :D :D YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  • 7 dislikes blow me.

  • LEO ROMERO! SOTY

  • Dear God thank you for America and for Neil singing We're Coming To America!

  • ok we are full,  but thanks Neil!!!!

  • = ) TOTALLY LOVE IT!!!

  • Wow. This was how we felt when Reagan was president. Not so much now with the socialist puppet in command.

  • what if everyone in the streets wore a glittery colorful costume like that for a day....

  • We need to start with getting rid of obomma

  • I do love the lively spirit of this song. I hope I live long enough to see the day when ALL human beings may live in freedom & prosperity, not just a few hundred million residents of the USA. I want ALL countries to be "Great." While no one nation can be the lifeboat for the entire planet, we CAN be the BEACON of light & hope for all our global neighbors. My fellow anti-hunger volunteers & I have been doing that for 30+ years. Join us? Peace, Love, Bread & Justice for ALL.

  • fantastic song : Just do not let the hucksters sell it to globalization cheap labor & privatization of everything under the sun . Vote and bet your money on regulation of wall street or bail them out again & loose your treasury . { jail the banksters & their invasion profiteering friends }

  • I remember being a teenager, and on our 200th Anniversary of being FREE all the church bells rang, and this song was played

  • The Audience is absolutely mesmerizing... / sarcasm

  • This song really makes me think about the hardships endured by my immigrant ancestors sailing here from germany, france, scottland, and ireland so I can live in this great land and have the life they only dreamed of. Thank You.

  • W O W . . . !

    Let's talk about positive inspiration and excellence...

  • NOIBODY rocks the "glitter shirt" like Neil! Love his voice and songs!

  • *Ahem* AMERICA! FUCK YEA! xD

  • Thank you for this video. I met the man I was to marry and we saw this movie and we fell in love. This movie was made back when people came to America legally.

  • One of my most favorite songs by Neil Diamond.

  • America WAS great.... but sorry to say, now the whole world is up to shit......

  • America is the greatest place on earth to live. I don't see people flocking to Mexico or any other country for that matter. This song says it all. It's a timeless masterpiece. I can still remember how it made me feel when I saw the movie in the theater. It was a packed house and after this song, there was not many dry eyes.

  • @rjloop42 AGREE

  • thanks for posting this song, this song does say america all the way and neil diamond hit the nail on the head with this song.

  • Absolutley a classic song, remember when I was in school

    that was so long ago

    and i still know the lyrics

  • every now & then i would listen to Neil Diamond; this 01 of my favorites.. another 01 - I am.. I said.

  • ich heard it bei scrubs

  • Do you think Neil could be an angel amongst us mortals?

  • Great I love this....every time I hear it...wonderful....amazing

  • i get goosebumps every time i hear this song. makes me proud to be an American.Thank you to all those who have served and are serving for our freedom!

  • Heard it in the simpsons, what a voice, and ... what a vest

  • Saw Jazz Singer decades back when I was in school. An ICONIC song ever since then and - so true. Millions have made it here, with nothing but the power of their dreams, but more importantly millions have felt at home. An anthemic song no other country can aspire to sing such a song - without being hooted flat out.Only USA can pull off such a song. BTW I am not an American,but I have lived here for some years (legally and paid taxes)and in 3 other countries. So I know what I am talking about.

  • @ProfessionalSceptic Thank you for your comment. Cindy

  • @nightfawn27 can you tell me if neil diamond ever made a song on The Jazz Singer after Keith Lennox said neil was fired they were throwing the party what is the name of that song with the piano and he sang Robert E Lee? if you could name it that would be great thanks Amanda

  • @twilightfanedward199 the song is called Amazed & Confused just before it kicks in with Robert E Lee and before both its Love On The Rocks

  • @CheekyCharlieBoy ok not to be rude or anything but after he sings Love on the Rocks Jess tells Keith Lennox what she thought of the song and he said your fired the black guy said we should have a party so they went back to the house and had a party and thats the song im looking for cuz they are dancing and having a party so i would like to know the name of that song

  • @ProfessionalSceptic You are vey right friend - wish we could say that for more countries, but we will get there!

  • @ProfessionalSceptic SO true. I'm a proud 1st-generation American and this song gives me the chills every time ... thanks for posting it, nightfawn27

  • @ProfessionalSceptic . obviously not in australia

  • go back where u came from

  • aghh...

  • I,M DEDICATING THIS SONG TO MY ANCESTORS WHO CAME HERE FROM GERMANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HOLA AMIGO SUBELAS CANCIONES ENTERAS DE LA PELICULA POR FAVOR.!!!!!! ME ENCANTA.SEGUIRA CANTANDO???

  • I love guy! When I hear this song I think of Cheech in "EAST LA"

  • "nightfawn27" - thanks so much for this video posting. My favorite holiday is July 4th and, I agree, this song should be played all day. If anyone wants to know more about this video, please watch "The Jazz Singer" with Neil Diamond and you'll understand more. This always makes me tear up when I read the lyrics and hear the song. America has problems, but when you think of the many ways that immigrants use just to try to make it here...well, enough said.

    Thanks again!

  • @werbeone  Thank you!

  • @werbeone Yeah the Jazz Singer is such a good movie

    one of the classics i have collected..!!!!!!

  • WOW HE'S AMAZING AND THE AUDIENCE IS STIFF SITTING THERE BARELY MOVING - GET UP DANCE - LIVE LIFE PEOPLE AND THEN FINALLY THEY GET UP

  • @AvisWrentmore It's a movie..

  • @AvisWrentmore This is from the movie The Jazz Singer and not an actual concert, so you can blame the director for the crowd and the not the crowd itself.

  • WOW HE'S AMAZING AND THE AUDIENCE IS STIFF SITTING THERE BARELY MOVING - GET UP DANCE - LIVE LIFE PEOPLE

  • I love america but I am not proud of it. The only ones coming to america are the mexicans. Being from NY (Brooklyn) were we have people from all over the world, polish, irish, german and more... I only see them going back to their country and I can't blame them. But fear not, we still have the mexicans.

  • @ericartwo1 lost soul.

  • "I will travel in my recreational vehicle from state to state with no papers,:

    "No papers.?"

    "No papers."

    It's a paraphrase from a quote from "Hunt from red October."

    We've forgotten. We're willing to give up our freedom for "security" Say no to full body scans.

  • absolutley luv t.his song, it reminds me of travelling in my clapped out car luv it loads

  • absolutley luv this song, it reminds me of travelling in my clapped out car luv it loads

  • @ALIMADIKAYPETE Neil Diamond is one of the all time greats and I love his music. Some of you may not but those who do not like this song must not be a true American or mus hate America. I think he is great and love his music. There isn't a song of his I don't like.

  • @kaceyr1621 Good night.

  • @kaceyr1621 Well, if it's about my writing and/or vocabulary it might be due to my parents giving me a set of World Book encyclopedias for my 6th birthday and the Encyclopedia Brittanica for a Christmas present the same year. And no, I didn't eat the covers just because I was told they were food for thought ;-).

  • @kaceyr1621 Thank you for the compliment but I turn 57 this month. You're right, I am out of college. I was never in one, although Nam gave me one hell of an education. Why you ask?

  • @kaceyr1621 HAD to? I hope you did well with it.

  • @ALIMADIKAYPETE We see what you've written and given it all the time and consideration it's worth... Your second is up. NEXT.

  • @ALIMADIKAYPETE if you don't like Neil Diamond. Why are you listening to his music? I do not understand idiots like yourself. GO away and don't come back

  • When california sinks nobody will help and the earthquake is going to hit this year.

  • @shredabilly13 You have got to be kidding me. What kind of comment is that?

  • @shredabilly13 you must be one of those pro 2012 people. Or some sort of Psychedelic hippie.

  • @shredabilly13  Got a few days left. Hope it breaks off where I get the beach front property. So much for the Bible code.

    love this song.

  • @shredabilly13 make our beds and we'll say our grace!! AMERICA! this is OUR COUNRTY !!!!!

  • So sad the dream is ending.

  • Comment removed

  • @Inquisitor53 The IMF and China own this country. Like a frog in the waterpot. We never saw it coming. Time to wakeup lemmings.

  • @EMPIRE0FLIES I saw it coming. That's why I leave where I do. Hell, I'll applaud them if half survive the gators, crocs, and moccosins getting here! Then let them try to take me off my property. I may die, but I'll die fighting. It damn sure beats surviving as a slave and a coward!

  • @Inquisitor53 Ask the LEGAL immigrants that made it here. They may disagree with you.

  • BEST song ever!!!

  • This song should be played during July 4th, and September 11th each year! It makes me feel very proud to be an American! What year did this song come out by the way? Please let me know!

  • Respond to this video... "America" also know as "Coming to America" & "They're Coming To America" was first released in 1980 as part of The Jazz Singer soundtrack album. Then on April 25, 1981 and became Neil Diamond's 6th # 1 Hit.

  • @ajaugenti On the radio broadcast for our local 4th of July fireworks celebration, they play this during the fireworks.

  • @ajaugenti When I'm at home I play it every morning when I raise Old Glory up on the flagpole. As a 'Nam vet I'm proud I served my country.

    I caught some punks trying to take it down one day. I beat the hell out of them then called the cops. Had them arrested for trespassing. Once the deputy found lighters and a can of lighter fluid in their posession he charged them with intent to commit arson while trespassing, a felony. They were crying about their rights as the were taken away. Losers!

  • @Inquisitor53 I would like to say thank you for serving our country. My husband is also a Nam Vet and like you. He is also proud he served his country.

    Glad to hear they caught the jerks who wanted to burn old glory.

  • @ajaugenti YES,,,NYC

  • @annsara43 I've got an AMEN from you!!!!!

  • @ajaugenti like thousands of years ago this dudes a dinosaur

  • @matthewjustincrocker Yeah, this guy has to be in his late 60's btw.

  • love this song sang it for my fifth grade graduation

  • this will always be an awesome song, this guy knew what america is about

  • Neal Dimond rocks !!
