Hallelujah! (from "Händel's Messiah — A Soulful Celebration")

[niaZomba]

I can never get tired of hearing of this song I love it! especially to hear different choirs sing

[Harper12967]

Fabulous!

[mickle619]

Wow...that's all i can say!

[hrngofcr1]

They have done an excellent job, black, white and brown together. Just the way God likes it!!!

[CamraCreations]

Beautifully done! love this song...what does it matter who sings it???

[slickableandsoulful]

listening to the music reminds me why i'm spiritual, christianity reminds me of why i'm not religious

[christianpreachr]

@slickableandsoulful don't blame all Christians for words of a few kncuckleheads!! But this choirs does sound quite good. I just wish they were louder.

[NHisMage]

@slickableandsoulful This just makes me wonder what "spirit" you are following after, since those who have false beliefs can claim to be "spiritual".

[slickableandsoulful]

@NHisMage

"false beliefs"? are you serious.  what year is this 1200? sheesh

[NHisMage]

@slickableandsoulful Are YOU serious? What difference does it make what year it is? Can Jesus be Messiah and not Messiah at the same time? Think! Not all beliefs that claim to be true are true. That is pretty much common sense, if you know what different religions teach.

[whachoodoin]

@thereisnophantom LOL, it's all good, just make a joyful noise to the Lord!

[MrMarcos63]

How ridiculous your comments are ya'll... my Good God... I'm white... I don't care what color... this is just damn good... get over yourselves!!

[areyuwithme]

@MrMarcos63 I agree! Merry Christmas!  We serve ONE God!

[phluirin1]

@phluirin1 Also, it is not the colour of the people that sing it, but the way they sing it, that makes it what it is.

[lisejoan]

This song needs a lot of energy... not just pretty and accurate notes... Being a soprano in a gospel choir that performs this song every Christmas, I can attest that this song is a loud proclamation, not a sweet ballad.

[thereisnophantom]

white people shouldn't sing this song.

[mail1atpianojoede]

@thereisnophantom: A white man has written this song.

[whachoodoin]

@mail1atpianojoede Amen brother, the point of the song is that He shall reign forever and ever over white and black. If we are going to be singing his praises together forever, why not be together now?

[whachoodoin]

@mail1atpianojoede I say, go head white folk, the guy on the ad lib did a pretty good job too. No, it doesn't sound exactly like the CD but so what?

[29psalm]

@mail1atpianojoede LOL some people should read... :-)

[MrRichardj1]

@mail1atpianojoede -I think he is talking about this Version!

[NHisMage]

@thereisnophantom God is not a respecter of persons. He looks at the heart, not the appearance (skin color).

[areyuwithme]

@NHisMage I agree....they're White but God sees His children singing to Him! And doing a great job!

[NHisMage]

@areyuwithme The point was that God does not even see them as White! He does not see them as "My White children" and blacks as "My Black children".  That's how man sees it but God is looking at their hearts, not their skin color. That should not even be looked at or mentioned, for that matter.

[angelcarmia]

@thereisnophantom I agree with you.

[TheSocratease]

@thereisnophantom q had an all star choir. these people are singing for the sheer enjoyment of the music and their appreciation of the genius of q's arrangement. I hope they had a good time;they certainly seem to be enjoying themselves. imitation is music appreciation at its best.

OAN, i've heard whites mock 'black style 'singing; yet when they imitate 'black style' music, we mock them. ironic. the synthesis of african and european music sensibilities is what distinguishes american music.

[shane5530]

@LunaRihannaFan so does my sister

[watch2mefly]

This sounds good!

[VeritasLA]

Best joyful noise to the Lord!

[NekeyaB27]

Wow I love this song! They did wonderful wit it

[desirem1]

For a choir director, I would thing you would demonstrate more temperance with your words. I too am a directress but I must surrender my tongue to the Lord, otherwise whatever I direct is a tinkling cymbal. Check your tude liftmyall it doesn't speak of the grace of Christ. Blessings!

[shieldsff]

wonderful performance !

[fannubannu]

great song!

[kanielaair]

Excellent performance!

[HumanAnonymous12345]

I'm usin dis as a dance song for lyrical dancing it rocks

[thelawyer06]

I enjoyed it! However, if you listen to the original version, the choir aspirates the H (a breathy HA--llelujah), which adds more emphasis to the word, and its meaning!!

[jorgencoaster]

@thelawyer06

where can I find the original?? :)

[boobainaz]

@jorgencoaster

Just buy the whole album. Search Amazon for Messiah, A Soulful Celebration. They've got Stevie Wonder and other namebrand voices. Just rocks. The whole album.

[justyce4all7]

I like!

[jorgencoaster]

My choir is singing this song now and I just LOVE it. Its so full of energy!

[Munilein]

a great performance, beautiful people on stage, gimme more

[darik60]
