ACM Gospel Choir: Higher and Higher - Last Choir Standing - BBC One

[megumelu42]

I googled gospel choirs and this garbage came up...I guess they have never really heard the genre of gospel...this is a regular run of the mill choir...gospel they are not

[kilkolio]

69 is the numbah of the devil lmao

[beejay4ril]

I cant stop watching this video...I love everything about this choir.

Brilliant performance!

[KittyMittens21]

Were singing tis choir

[jnmklo9]

Glorious

[supergirl15561]

And they're dresses! Not skirts!

[supergirl15561]

Oh my friggin' god, why can't people stop complaining about their skirts and listen to their voices? Why aren't you enjoying this brilliant music and instead, focusing your attention on their legs? You're just as bad as the perverts.

[sabrinapereirasantos]

Higher and higher are their skirts! Ridiculous!

[fishrcoolturtles2]

i got to say those girls are hot

[flappycelery]

You do NOT have to have any interest in Gospel religious traditions to appreciate the energetic, passionate and SOUL-filled energy of the music. It IS an affirmation of the people, the history and firmly places this music genre in American history, to enjoy it and embrace it. The good that it does to affirm the culture and the history of Gospel music is all we need know! If it makes you feel good, DO IT!

[elrycko666]

shit motherfuckers

[jowdemanne]

I'm dying for a show like this again!

[zaur521]

Thumbs up, if any1 thought, that they should won that in blocks!!!!!!!!

[SillierIlya]

Hey, BBC, bring this series back! New or re-aired or both, I don't care.

[damien12374]

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it brilllllllll great heart praise the lord brill

[AnaMaria101010]

And the skirts are shorter and shorter. How many men are listening to the words and how many are picking under? Have mercy, Lord and lift us truly higher, to make a difference not to make compromises so as TO FIT IN. To what, to THIS WORLD? Let's get real! God bless!

[CamJar99]

forget glee, GO LAST CHOIR STANDING!!!!

[ILOVEGROBAN]

[Scratchyjam]

@Is3rf

Amen to that.

[popkoor1]

[humudu]

[Is3rf]

if i got to see those girls singing, i would go to church every Sunday no question.

[cycyn05]

I love that !!!!!!!!!! i wonderfull

[joolspirog]

Just joyous and tight harmony, marvellous example of what youth can do when given a mentor. I wish I had a choir to sing in like this instead of money hungry power freaks who don't allow one to shine.

[samuelsams1]

good music and good voice but dressing?? please be more example through your dress to the world also, viewers on internet might have different range of weakness. thanks.

[Vanillamoon22]

So I have never ever been to Church. But is what you wear reflects the kind of Christian you are?? I thought God didn't judge??

[airboa]

Come to Romania please !

[aybeezle]

[nintendoandsega1990]

This is Sensational

[cjddadx2]

[Genotypewriter]

@evonix4 I'm no religious man but I'll say amen to that!

[colley2021]

[Novalee08]

[SuperPascalW]

[IsabellaScene89]

Check out this choir please, constructive critiques are appreciated :)

/watch?v=aBDhwRQxN9o

[UltraShocks]

Eargasm...!

[Yorker1981]

genial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!



[Spinderella6000]

If god had a problem with what they were wearing, he would have done something about it. You people sure as hell don't have a problem making every single natural disaster seem like god's doing. If he's as angry and picky as you "religious" people make him out to be, he would have had no problem burning down the building while they were singing. Enough said.

[russellsaunders]

What a stunning looking girl at 1.22, magnificent !

[Arlind1029]

ahh man this was brilliant, the black girl sort of spoilt it though with her bit

[WhatSayethThou]

The problem with us Christians is that we tend to judge people and give ourselves that air of superiority over everyone else. That is not what being a Christian is all about. we should accept people the way they are and let our lifestyles do the talking. How do we know that all these people out here passing comments about these kids are any better than them?? Do you tithe regularly?? Do you always speak the truth?? You hating the way these kids performing is just as good as murder,no??

[DieWeltIstSchlecht]

Oh, and fuck this stupid conversation about god or evolution!!! It's about a choir and a song. Nothing more, nothing less. Troll somewhere else, dudes!

[DieWeltIstSchlecht]

Great song! And they do a really good job! I like it!

[disccentury]

CLICK ON: disccentury, GOSPEL MUSIC, NEVER SEEN

[KurtEngh]

Why is the audience clapping on beats one and three? Come on!

[Gazzz87]

fuck praising 'god'...green eyes, red hair, green dress.... fuck; thank evolution!

[bloodyscores]

Everybody has the right to praise God the way they want, and this is a very artistic way. The dresses are fine, After all, it's just a human body. Anyone who wants to sing about God have to wear maxi dresses? Lol, come on, seriously. It was a great job, wow :)

[Mirkul]

cmon its 2011 get over religion already, a story made up long time ago when people wasnt well educated or informed.

[michaelcabz]

@Mirkul "When people wasnt well educated or informed" hahaha idiot.

[WhitakerSJA]

LOVE THE CONDUCTORS ENERGY AND PASSION........It's contagious!

[disccentury]

[evifnoskcaj]

Oh you brits and your imitation gospel choirs. This is hilarious and nothing close to a real Gospel Choir.

[disccentury]

CLICK ON: disccentury, GOSPEL MUSIC, NEVER SEEN

[minnsy77]

Reading all of these posts about 'God' and 'Jesus' and 'Blasphemy' and 'ungodly' simply reinforces my belief that the Church (and I mean all churches) are nothing more than pure lunacy and only go to push humankind further down the dark tunnel of regression.

[colin4393]

@minnsy77 Hahahahaha, I agree!

[SingingMusicalMan]

Some of those girls are just SOOO HOT!!! :D

[ThisisGodspeaking2U]

@SingingMusicalMan But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

This is an ungodly video.

[annbritta09]

@ThisisGodspeaking2U the problem is that they are in the world, presenting themselves instead of doing it to glorify the name of God in th church. But tjat DOES NOT give you the right to quote the bible in such a way. !! May God forgive u!!

[LeutholdJR]

@ThisisGodspeaking2U And calling yourself "THIS IS GOD SPEAKING TO YOU" is anything other than blasphemy ????

Self-righteous hypocrite!!!

[pixiedustrockchikkx]

these guys are FAB :) i went to this show x

[Bryt25]

Some good comments but some idiots out there too: This was primarily a CHOIR CONTEST not a church service. They had to compete with secular choirs and dress accordingly. ACM is a music college. The conductor is Mark de Lisser.

[eyeballchick00]

What a beatiful gift from God!

[Gazzz87]

green dresses... requires REDHEADS!

[Gazzz87]

chris tucker is the conductor! JAMONE!

[iamurablee]

die sind echt gut Wow!! Wir habn dis auch mal versucht zu singen aba naja is voll schwierig !! ja voll coool xD

[cabbyariez]

this choir is damn awesome..i wonder how to be like that conducter..

[Mrcastle04]

el juego de voces es de lo mejor!! :)

[Alson393]

Great performance and song great choir full of energy

[DeutscherGospel]

"...that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works." (1. Tim 2:9)

In this context I think that means to take more time to sing well than to dress up!

[DeutscherGospel]

Sorry, but that is more show than worship. The singers are acting so unnaturally. You can see this best when they start dancing.

And yes, GOD looks at the heart. But your dress reveals something of what is in your heart. A longing to be praised by man or God.

Modesty is important to God because everything else is selfish.

[ivanchavez]

I want to make babies with soloist @ 1:05 while she sings to me

[tempamore]

*boogies with conductor * WOOO! AMAZING

[bennavids]

SUCH JOY! GAAAHHHH!

[lashundracameron2000]

i love gospel music and i love god andi love my mom and my baby sister kristin

[19767jahjahxx]

the only reason why there 56 dislike is bcoz those 56 couldnt get in the choir pwahahahaha



[mumolaplace77]

a good song and a praising one but why these short dresses and the bible is very clear on dressing!in Gods presence when praising,dressing is very critic.

[gabdawgs61]

@mumolaplace77 : Its critics like you that keep people from going to church.. what if a hooker wanted to go to church and Bring Jesus christ into her heart? Do you really think it matters what she is wearing in order for her to recieve salvation? Hypocrisy like this is running rampid throughout churches today!!! I do believe that you should be covered in the presence of God, but isn't God with us Always?

Research this: 1 Samuel 16:7 Kind of sums it up!!!!

[cferrante]

@gabdawgs61 I second everything you said... and include that we must not forget that Jesus opened his heart ESPECIALLY to prostitutes, lepars, and all who were shunned in society. :)

[porge97]

@gabdawgs61 god sint with us always because i fell of my bike and cut my knee quite badly actually.

[XxTwiPiresxX]

@gabdawgs61 why does God if we are wearing ANYTHING? Adam and Eve where nude in the garden weren't they?

[LynnWellin]

@gabdawgs61 1 Timothy 2:9-10

"likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works." Something like that. Don't cherry pick the bible, buddy.

[Medicinecloud]

@gabdawgs61 ...fully agree...there is absence of "envy" in true n sincere LOVE..God IS "love"..

[shanexxD]

@gabdawgs61 Yea thats a Hooker who is SEEKING salvation i don't have a problem with that....but we are talking about person who is in the church for some while now experiencing salvation. After being saved from the streets of whoredom there should be a certain change in appearance especially clothing... what Pastor in his/her right mind is gonna put up a hooker who just got seeking salvation upon a choir to wear her hooker suit????????????...then that should be a strip club and not a church.kmt

[shanexxD]

Christianity is not about going to church and dressing up and listening to a preacher ...NO, its about getting saved , know god and at individual perceptive, having a 1 on 1 relationship with Jesus ...knowing his ways and what he stands for....Christianity is not entertainment, its about seeking soul for the fathers kingdom.....he order us to go on the high ways and the edges to preach and to teach,not for entertainment..

[19767jahjahxx]

i like how the conductor dances its frickin awesome

[theacousticanarchy]

What religion is this? I think I might join..

[Superandalasia]

ooooooooooh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gooooooooooooodddddddddddd

[popkoor1]

Verry, verry good performance.

[masterbobdylan]

strange that in a christian choir they only pick hot girls for singers?

[geiuy]

religion sucks but jackie wilson was such a freaking genius!

[12luiguti]

religion sucks but this chorus rocks!!!

[cwhenriksen]

Man god is temping us men when he puts such beautiful women in a church choir!!!

[TheWater876]

@cwhenriksen AMEN bro

[beykingearl]

look at neve leave you alone by Twanette Lynn on you tube

[theodor62]

BEST song from all!!!!!

I love it .

Super, and beutiful dresses, not to short and not to much :-)

And not only in black!



[AimeLyrics]

Como se llama esta cancion?

[traveler94965]

The single best ever "Feel Good" song of all freaking time!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chris51]

These guys are sensational. To me they are obviously giving great praise to God. To those complaining about the dresses, good Christians look at the heart not the outside. The dresses are not too short your minds are too dirty. Just enjoy these incredible kids up there doing something they really enjoy.

[LilaBear]

@Chris51 "To those complaining about the dresses, good Christians look at the heart not the outside"

That's a lot of rubbish. The bible makes a point about outward appearance too, not to mention the effect of outward appearances. While I am fine with the dresses, the idea that outward appearance means nothing is wrong.

[Chris51]

@LilaBear - "The bible makes a point about outward appearance" please provide a link. If you struggle with looking at a woman simply because of what she is wearing you've got a self-discipline problem. I'm not condoning sleazy dressing but there really is nothing wrong with the way these young women are dressed

[Medicinecloud]

@Chris51 ..u2 Chris..agree 100%.."look at the heart not the outside"...

[shanexxD]

@Chris51 ammm actually there is a look for Christian, and being a christian God work on the heart yes and a change of appearance ...being a christian there are certain thing that we should let go of ...this world and look more modest ... i thought this was a Glee club performing at a show or supm....appearance is a very important role in the biblical time....those dresses are indeed too dang short, someone who aint saved wouldn't even know that these people are saved with those dresses on.

[kelitoecw]

no seamos puritanos´vestidos cortos o largos da lo mismo lo inportante es agradar aDios

[Soeckchen91]

Very short dresses for a gospel choir, but beautiful. And very nice sound :>

[q8yfreedom]

the second girl sing is hot and cute

[Bryt25]

Your love keeps lifting me higher - It certainly doesn't exclude a gospel interpretation and that is the stated intention of the director, Mark. The bottom line tho is that it's not a gospel contest, but I'm seeing a lot of comments here from intolerant people who need to make up rules for everyone else. Maybe you guys could sit down in a quiet room for a while and think about what's really pissing you off?

[2012lavender]

this was not a gospel song, and the group didn't act like a gospel group. so, this isn't gospel.

[LeutholdJR]

Great performance. Well, the girl whole left in the second row even got a worse rhythm feeling than me, but still a great version of this song :)

[NatNoonanS]

Can't stop watching this! Such an awesome arrangement and performance! Love love love.

[kate0913kme]

Well if your a christian, you should represent yourself well, there dresses are nice, but they should have been at least to their knees. They are showing to much thighs.

[solidLIFEinCHRIST]

LOL @ all these comments. And how exactly are Christians supposed to look? or dress? I didn't know there was a Christian dress code. how about we just focus on the message of their song instead of their outside apprearance. Grow up people!

[IWannaBe120]

But man that audience sucks! They need to perform in America, where they will receive some real love lol

[Gazzz87]

@IWannaBe120 fuck off, yanks cheer for anything.. just look at your political speeches. Mindless sheep. stay within the U.S, the rest of the world don't want you.

[iamdanielle10]

@Gazzz87 You are a complete idiot.

[IWannaBe120]

Jackie Wilson would be proud! Loved it!

[hgismo]

Wow! :)

[HayxLog]

you all need to lighten up a bit...

[76lnelson]

This is a gospel choir? Those skirts are way to short, they don't represent christ at all. The music is great but the appearance is definitly not a godly one. What ever happened to modesty?

[LeutholdJR]

@76lnelson Godly appearance? There is no christian "dress code" made by god. There may be one made by men. The bible was not made by god. It was written and put together by men. Crusaders did not kill because of god`s will. They did it because men orderer them. Modesty in the way you mean it is nowhere god`s way. It is the way of misleaded people following a path that MEN told them it would lead to paradise ... now go away with that mental violence. It is an insult to god, nothing else.

[mmmcculloch3]

@LeutholdJR amen brother! The original dress code was made up of only fig leaves, and then a loin cloth! 

[76lnelson]

@LeutholdJR it's a shame that you would come back like that. the bible was written by men inspired by god. C'mon now, the bible also says not to lust and I'm sorry but how can a man not lust when you are showing that much leg!

[francismokaya]

This is a modern perverted choir and church of the day ,this are the very white people who come to africa and brainwashed us that our ways are primitive soon this is coming to afrcaa and the modern pimitive poeple of the day will followsuit . i appeal to all pastors in africa do not give them the pulpit.

[GrandTheftFreedom]

@francismokaya

racist

[Herc2770]

LOL, All the babes are all at church. Want more motivation do you need to convert.

[donatkitadibuita]

almost every chick is hot

[jnmklo9]

Gcse? Jealousy

That was brilliant

[AavaRoana]

0:36 her voice *_* i love it!!!!

[Bryt25]

1) I didn't realise it was a gospel contest

2) I didn't realise 6 part harmony was GCSE standard

Silly me!

[2valu4ever]

whoaa!!! 

[9sinuhe]

wow....SUPER!

I really love it!

and the conductor.... AMAZING!

:-)

[Hayehodim]

[morgand50]

Most inspiring conductor I have ever met!! :)

[dhart17]

whats smithy doing in there?



[MrJISH03]

Very nice!

[oldmotherimba]

Gospel done well is incredible (check out the Georgia Mass Choir) but this is truly terrible. No dynamics AT ALL, very simple harmonies and please can the second female soloist report to checkout number 5-she cannot sing in tune-not close !

[bigbroon]

@oldmotherimba

Just because the harmonies are simple, doesn't mean they aren't effective. Sometimes, complicating it detracts from the performace. Also, the Georgia Mass Choir are a totally different collection, in terms of size and style.

[oldmotherimba]

@bigbroon

Agreed, complicating harmonies CAN detract but in this case, simplifying the harmonies to GCSE standard just makes the song sound like a bad football chant. Also the Georgia Mass Choir are indeed a totally different collection...the are a gospel choir. Their joy is from the soul and their "choreography" is from the soul and is secondary to the music whereas this lot are clearly all about the image and not about the music and that is criminal. They belong on the X Factor.

[KT926]

1:09 she's an incredible singer!! The best one of the whole group!

[clara88hk]

so ENERGETIC =) I FEEL HAPPY when i listen it

[MsSaminho]

Very Very Very nice

so beautiful :D:D

[Hayehodim]

I love i!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iholdtheshell]

jeez why do some of these people look so awkward. oh yeah they're white people in a 'gospel' choir.

[KleinFisch]

the hottest choir i've ever seen! =)

[computerhacker225]

the conducter looks like will smith 0.o

[Twintwojess]

Gospel sucksss soooo much metal is better

[pharaohoftheincubi]

LOL y r they all clapping out of time?? stop that

[WahanaVisi]

[9sinuhe]

wow....super!

[geetarman69]

this is fucking retarded!!!!..... what a stupid show....and DON'T WEAR SHORT DRESSES if you have the body of a walrus!.... and don't TRY to dance if you can't just stand still - average singing

[pebblus]

@geetarman69 are you jealous?

[geetarman69]

@pebblus OH YEAH - you got me.... wish I was a fat heffer who couldn't dance who sung (and they can sing no doubt about it) crappy song with a retarded look on my face....yup jealous indeed mwah ha ha ha ha.....
