He should get best teacher award!

  • I give this a thumbs up vote and as I see the ratings show that TWO folks voted thumbs down...

    This is a free world and people are allowed to vote as they wish - but I can't imagine WHY anyone would have justifiable cause to dislike this.

    PLEASE EXPLAIN!!

  • AMAZING...

  • Absolutely remarkable. This is beauty personified. Bravo.

  • I'm nearly crying right now. You're doing such an amazing job encouriging these kids in singing and feeling the music! It's so wonderful to listen to!!!

  • @primavera272 Me too! Glad it isn't just me!

  • More teachers like this... could save the world. Wish we could have this in every public school in America.

  • hey now; hey now....that was a wonderful version. !!!!!!!

  • OMG!!

    i love this song

    WONDERFULL

  • I agree with earlier comments about the truly amazing work this particular teacher is doing in bringing out the best of his pupils..and this in a public school...no elite, no monthly fees, just a normal guy teaching normal kids. GREAT.

  • Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! ;s

  • That must be heck of a teacher. The kids are so into that performance. A big hello to all of you guys from Ecuador, keep up with the good work.

  • Wow wow wow amazing voices. You can just see the music in all of them, that is truly an amazing gift. Do I guys have a recording dome that u sell? If so where can I buy one?

  • That was beatuiful

    :)

  • All I can say is "Wow". I was both a choral singer in school, and a fan of Crowded House...this arrangement is so beautiful, and considering the ages of the kids in this chorus....such a huge amount of talent there....Not many 5th graders can pull off 4-part harmonies...

  • incredible work

  • I teach music in Texas...this is absolutly amazing! You guys have a great teacher! Perfect reason on why we need to keep music in the schools. Keep working hard! It is paying off....you guys are wonderful!

  • This is one of the most incredible examples of why we should NOT take money away from the arts programs in our schools. Sports are wonderful but there is nothing like the ARTS =)

  • @steph215592

    Step 1) Post this on Facebook.

    Step 2) Post your comment about education, the arts, etc.

    Step 3) Challenge people to cut copy and paste this on their pages.

  • @steph215592 I agree. I'm not an official "singer", but when I sing at home I feel so FREE and happy.

    Singing REALLY makes you feel good. It just does.

  • @steph215592 I disagree. Sports is crap. ARTS forever!

  • @steph215592 Stole the words out of my mouth... As a Supported of Philadelphia Music Programs. Successful Music programs are so incredibly hard to get to this quality.

  • God WHERE do these kids get their passion from!? It' samazing. So much props to the teacher for being able to bring that out in them. Love how some of them look soo into it as well, eyes closed, so in tune with the music! 5 stars :) ADORE the song choice, too

  • I have always loved this song - but these kids with their voices, especially the harmony in the lyric "don't dream it's over", literally gives me chills. This is totally a beautiful thing. The kids, the teacher, the singing. It's all part of a bigger picture. Love and peace to the kids and teachers of PS22!!!!

  • this is spine tingling amazing. you guys are so talented!

  • This is beautiful!!

  • Hey PS 22 Chorus. It is very difficult to cover such a beautiful song and do it justice -- and you did it! You and your teacher made me feel how much you love making music, and you are all amazing.  Everyone in the band must be so very proud of what you created with their song. Thank you for sharing your performance with the world.

  • I love that the teacher gives many kids the chance for a solo. THey all shine!

  • Wish i had a teacher like that when i was a child great stuff.The kids are amazing.

  • AH! They totally made this my favorite song again, i used to love it and then BAM Now i do again

  • The end of the video is saying thanks to Crowded House for giving them the opportunity to sing on stage with them. But in my view (and I think Neil and Co. would agree) is that we all should thank these woderful kids for sharing their gift of and love of song with us. They are a wondeful gift to us and show how much we need music and arts programs in our schools today. Way to go PS22 kids and Mr. B. Sincerely, Bruce from Annapolis.

  • Why was that one boy staring into space until he saw the camera coming his way!? Ha! I love these kids!

  • Edgard delaSuburb here ....saying you are the best .....Trafik has nothing on you!!!

    A.W.E.S.O.M.E. hear you

    ( always want extra songs once my ears ) hear you

  • This is just awesome. You're the kind of teacher we should all strive to become. Your kids are a testament to that. They're fantastic!

  • I follow all your videos, and what amazes me the most is that while alot of kids now days are listening to "processed" music...you're really showing these kids, music with a powerful message behind it! Congrats buddy!

  • Wow...

  • i love this song and these kids did it justice great job

  • You guys are INCREDIBLE! A little slice of heaven on earth! Love and aloha from Hawaii! :)

  • Out of all the kid's videos this is my favorite... :)

  • As a teacher, this makes me so happy. Magic is real.

  • I remember singing this in my choir at school in new zealand! Great song and performance :)

  • i love the passion these kids show when they sing...

  • This teacher must be awesome! You can tell these kids are loving this! Wow......I love it!

  • That was so amazingly beautiful... you have done such a wonderful job with these kids. I work with homeless youth and I wish they would have had an experience like this when they were kids... it makes such a big difference in their lives!

  • one of my fav 80s tunes by one of my fav 80s groups.....you are an amazing teacher and its a testiment to your devotion to your class and your commitment to teaching. Keep up the amazing work you do.

  • i am in the process of watching EVERY SINGLE ONE of these videos, and I am so happy for the students that NY's PS22 has such an AMAZING music instructor. Music and Love have returned to the Earth! Thses kids are the SHIZ!

  • I watched 'You raise me up" and everyone said I would cry. I didn't. But this one finished me off.

  • seeing all the passion behind this music is so uplifting! love it =)

  • any one of Queen? for example Boemian Rhapsody pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • the choir director is one inspired dude...beautiful music, voices of angels.

  • OH MY GOD! my favourite song covered by angels. moves my heart.

  • Where were the teachers like this in the 70's? man this looks like so much fun

  • he was a kid himself!

  • There are and always have been teachers like this everywhere, at all times. Ever since Aristotle, there have been both excellent mentors and instructors in the area of Arts & Education (Both are interchangeable) ....and some not so good, but.... I gurantee that this instructor who is a dream of a music teacher has actually mentored future music and other artistic superstars, and even legends, of whom will one day publicaly thank him in their acceptance speeches.

  • anyone was waiting for whoopi goldberg to appear?

    seriously, goosebumps.

  • You do an extremely amazing job with these kids :).

    Truly heart touching.

    tc, xx

  • yeah! more crowded house fans!

  • I just love seeing the kids showing their feelings when they sing! This is such a cool group of children and they sound wonderful! Perfectly synchronized and harmony!

  • Any bets on how long it take for Oprah to book them?... and then they will be on EVERY talkshow... inside of 2 weeks I bet.

    Wonder what David Foster could do with THIS?!!!

  • I wish I was in this class! I almost am from my computer at 29 sitting there, with the promise of new untainted thinking & emotional possibility. Kidz Bop CD"S are Corporate & lost. Where as this is organic and spiritual. May the universe bless all of you with the power to be yourselves. The chance to see yourself in the future through this video is amazing. Any time you have a problem come to this and let the music show you the way. This is the realest of life. Let none take it. Thanks Mr B.

  • Wow. I get goose bumps when I hear them sing =)

    One of my favorite songs too ;)

  • Beautiful

    Amazing

    Striking

    Touching

    Heartwarming

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
