[30ifikal]

They cannot exist!!... But they do!!! no words can be found to describe their talent as individuals and as a team, nor how I feel listening to them... Greetings from Greece. Bless you

[SirCaseyHollywood]

Your Choir brings a special form of hapiness to all those who listens. Excellent Singers, and wonderful soloist!!!, a new fan from Hollywood CA

[cellularhippo]

I LOVE YOU

[RyanFrenk]

this video kills me on the daily.

[Fridalovestupac]

this group is beyond amazing, it just gives me goosebumps everytime i see their videos and hear these gorgeous voices.

[uberathlete]

@Fridalovestupac If you can believe it, I actually think the 2010 batch is better.

[SteamFanHannover]

@uberathlete: No. Definitely not.

[juliaechelea]

amazing!

[bandilang]

super beautfiul

[whimsical24]

dear god, what is her name! the talent.. it's too much

[uberathlete]

@whimsical24 Joan Cano  :)

[cubic3square2]

I never get tired listening to this rendition. Angelic voice.

[sirguliver]

Does any one know which arrangement it is? i'm looking for a touching arrangement of this masterpiece and this one blowed me really away!

[tungaksikwyjibo]

@sirguliver - arrangement by Fidel Calalang Jr. - conductor of UST Singers 

[uberathlete]

That is a classy and beautiful voice.

[thefetishfeline]

I keep on going back to this song. The soloist has sung this so cleanly. It's just unbelievable.

[RichardOliverWY]

Sublime. That lacks. Do they know what they have done? Man!!

[dipulos]

@RichardOliverWY GriffithFrankVEVO? lol

[dipulos]

@RichardOliverWY @RichardOliverWY GriffithFrankVEVO? lol

[dipulos]

@RichardOliverWY sorry..they're excellent!

[franciskafriede]

It's absolutely stunning. Amazing! I love it. :-)

[17ANIMA]

palitan tayo ng piyesa :)

[Daisydigal]

excellent.......

[christinanoordberger]

Wauw, awesome voice(s)!

[donkeykongdonna]

my favorite song. ever.

[ElyseOrecchio]

I wish they upped the tempo, but this is one of my fave versions of this beautiful, lovely, haunting song. They really captured all that. EXCELLENT job!

[double0hsnap]

After I heard this and watched this performed by this group, I researched it because I enjoyed it so much. I found out that it was from the musical Nine that recently came to theaters. I was so excited when I went to see it though was disappointed after. This is so much better than how it was done in the movie. Excellent job. (:

[angeldemusik69]

@double0hsnap the movie is terrible, the musical is way better, god!! nicole kidman as claudia nardi? what were they thinking

[azizaseven1]

Oh my gosh this is absolutely beautiful! Totally stumbled upon this on accident and I am so happy I did. This is just a gorgeous rendition of one of my favorite songs.

[chantejoy]

Best rendition of this song I've heard yet. Between the soloist and the whole blend of the group...my eyes are watering here. I'm so proud of the audience members that gave a standing ovation. To be honest, only the wheelchair-bound should have still been sitting down after that.

[alnmstubx]

I agree this singing is amazing. People on Utube are saying that Tabby Porter on here is an amazing singer, but OMG there isn't any comparison. This performance is truly professional.

[BadatAtUrService]

i tried to sing this ..but i cant hahha..

it always make me cry..

[Soadfreundin]

I want to kill the person who didnt turn his/her cellphone off...

[musicnerd183]

This is absolutely marvelous! I'd like to do it with my choir, who arranged/published it? Thanks!

[duhfication]

3:33 solo seems a little sharp. anyway this is perfect. thank you

[kramyeoj]

bentong ung nasa 3:25, nyahaah, pero teka ang galing talaga ng ust singers.... favorite song ko to ngay-on.

[t6adams]

that's their traditional dress

[lorsraine]

[frederikrodrigez]

the costumes are funny.

[cloudcluster]

Go UST SINGERS ^^

[jojomusiclove09]

amazing . the soloist sounds beautiful oh my god . just amazing!

[sahthebanana]

Beautiful!!! So very good - anyone know where I can get this arrangement? Absolutely amazing!

[broadwaydude]

this is amazing.......... :D

[karlman23]

The soloist sounds Ariel from "The Little Mermaid." Her singing voice.

[dominicbalabat]

she sounded like lea salongga... maybe they're relatives.. hehe... jk...

[boo71111]

I love this song,, UST Blew me away....

15 Stars for the song.. and Thank you for the post... Just WOW

[karrington2008]

They are so incredible. You really can actually feel the music as you're listening. Definitely proves that music is physiological.

[rasee16]

this song was sung with so much passion... i can feel the emotions.. whew!

[double0hsnap]

this chorus is so talented

amazing sound :]

[criticizer8]

this is full of passion.. the fermata on the soprano section before they sing the theme made the performance perfect. so simple as one note made the piece so beautiful. this is very well crafted.

[saoidonguez26]

STOP MAKING ME CRY!!!!!!!!! Oh my God! Beautiful!

[piggypenny]

galing talaga ng ust singers! idol

[Philm54]

wow! whose arrangement is this?

[misaoperasinger]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! VERY GOOD!!!

[rasee16]

[gerald1029]

trully fantastic vocals. makes me proud to be a thomasian.

[chazdaddy10]

Sounds wonderful :) What a beautiful arrangement! That would be a touching wedding song if done half as well as this! yeston rocks

[clp0928]

just amazing!!! is this a good wedding song?

[Thedarksideoflove]

yes! its a haunting romantic declaration of love, in song! =D

[aixjulian]

UST Singers = Greatest Choir above all. Goosebumps every time!!!! I especially love the fact that they do dynamics. Hindi puro malinis lang. May puso, may pakiramdam. :)

[82jo]

wow! nice song! awesome performance! idol!!!

[hs1379]

u guys!! r great!!!! awsome! congratulations!!!

[yoshiharu07]

thank you so much for posting this video. i used this video to express my love to my friend. even though we just lasted for one year. i keep on crying right now while listening. thank you so much kukangz. i remember the day when i shared this to her. the message of the song is so nice and even the rendition of the song is so fantastic.

[antimony991]

Kuddos to UST Singers! Proud to be thomasians at 400!

[choyzee]

IMO, Joan Cano is the BEST SOPRANO!!! Go UST Singers! :)

[pappy2865]

This choir has got to stop.

I have a job and a family, and I can't continue to sit here in tears hour after hour listening to this fantastic ensemble, discovering one masterpiece after another!

Please pull all of their videos off of utub so I don't have to go through foreclosure and divorce at the same time! LOL!

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!

[InducedJoy]

Hahahaha! I was about to start getting veeeery defensive!

[pappy2865]

I tried to throw a little humorous mis-direct in there!

All kidding aside, this group has rekindled my drive to teach music, and as such I now have my house on the market and am moving 300 miles to teach and return to school to get my masters in choral conducting!

What a choir-Thank you all sooooo much!

[joibu]

@pappy2865 you presented your comment in a very UNUSUAL WAY... lol

[SirCaseyHollywood]

@pappy2865 I agree, lol, have you seen there impromptu street performance in front of a Bacilica in Venizza Italy, i believe that the title is UST singing the CIRCLE OF LIFE, Venezza italy, it;s amazing, and street performance in Spain singing ERES TU. I pray of no foreclosure and divorce, keep the faith LOL.

[Jadeidoxx]

Beautiful.

[madzatibapa]

awesome soloist!!!

[hpckapell]

napakaexpressive talaga ng UST! this arrangement by Sir Calalang is a masterpiece! Genius!

Ms. Joan Cano is at her best in singing this solo to compare with her performances of this song in other videos.

[oclifmantik]

WOW.....

Jeezz how all of you can sing like that??

all your blending in one piece!!!

i love u all

i love the bass

i love joan

God bless

[Mayflower1357]

They have released a lot of cd's, you can get them in Germany! Search via Google for "ust singers bruch cd". I have them all, most of them are BRILLIANT. Highly recommandable!

[goodgracious1]

[karotru]

what a beautiful voice and good technique of the solo singer! great!

[anlindale]

Paborito ko itong kanta ng UST Singers. Sila pa lang ang choir na narinig kong kumanta nito eh. Talong-talo pa yung mismong nasa NINE musical, hahaha!

[StevieRudes]

how original and unique. the soloist has the purest voice. very clear and precise. what a joy to listen to.

[netrebko25]

choir of the world!!!

[LDS32989]

gorgeous

[alexmz123]

My deceased grandmother, Maestra Mercedes Matias-Santiago, was a dean for the Music Department of UST during pre-war times. That Filipina soprano voice sang so wonderfully. And this choir rocks! It's awesome to hear such beautiful voices in unison to make music!

[mephisto006]

WOW such an excellent version of the song...

The best I have ever heard...

This makes me so proud to be a thomasian..

[iceChiYo]

Go USTe!

[zenith0328]

Hindi ako magsasawang panoorin at iyakan ang kantang ito...  :)

[carolnyc1]

[0o0vl0o0]

40-50 and I'm still going... More around 70

[juliaechelea]

just so amazing!!! call me cheesy but i cried!

[gagasim]

I did too...

[bulatetuts]

si joan cano rin ba yung soloist dun sa "ikaw". that's like my favorite song of the ust singers.

[larrykc24]

its actually Ma. Asela Labaro that did the solo for "Ikaw", another seasoned soloist of the UST Singers before. Both have very amazing voices, hear their duet on YOUTUBE, "Pie Jesu"

[gabaritono]

[dantbp]

Amazing soloist! Good job!

[cricketbrn]

AMAZING VOICE SOLOIST!!!

[elamficken]

[murzoneal]

my gf liked it, and so do I... fantastic vocals!

[murzoneal]

[karlman23]

So beautiful!! I can imagine now how beautiful the angelic choir is in heaven! God is definitely blessing your group! Keep it up.

[frudotwo]

i got so inspired to love again and indeed i found my love thru this arrangement and thru your performance... my love and i got so involve with each other becoz of these... your voices, how you've delivered the song, the evrything! thanx so much!

[symph2000]

Ganda ng boses ng soloista!!! Kaso may times na natatabunan ng choir boses nya, hindi na marinig!

[barongatsaya]

iyong time na di marinig ang soloist, iyon yong time na kasama siya sa soprano 1 part at wala siyang solo. di mo kase alam ang arrangement ng song kaya understandable. kawawa ka naman, wala ka sigurong alam sa choral arrangements.

[celalmo]

I never get tired of listening to this song, to Joan and to the UST SIngers as a group. COngrats to all of you for mastering your God given gifts! Sir Fidel hats off to you! Marcia magparamdam ka naman mare. Hehe

[KakoiDedikuSan]

I must say this is EFFIN INCREDIBLE!! I've never imagined the song this way -- well done and awesomely executed!

[polarqueen]

Such a cool arrangement! Awesome soloist too! :)

[teodorojuanjose]

I I'm so inlove na with your voice Joan Cano! I hope I can hear you live! :)

[charen26]

teodorjuanjose, there's a short clip entitled ust singers alumni - auld lang syne somewhere here that has joan singing the german version of auld lang syne as solo. just promise you won't get too obsessed with her voice afterwards. enjoy listening!

[classic1306]

joan cano!! great voice!!

[teodorojuanjose]

What's the name of the soprano? You have a beautiful voice. I hope I can meet you in person sometime :)

[charen26]

She's THE Joan Cano.

O MY GOD!

O MY GOD!

O MY GOD!

[marissalain]

joan cano!galing mo! :)

[DimpleDog]

This jziphong guy only gives positive comments on singaporean choirs. He even gave a "highly praised" comment on a highschool choir who sounded horrible just beause they're singaporean. So beware of this loser called "jziphong".

[DimpleDog]

jziphong is chorale critic wannabe who has no credentials but to sour grape. ah, so lame.

[jziphong]

the choir and solo did an excellent job...but the solo could do even better by breathing deeper before each verse.

[leggy8784]

in a very unusual way, i think im in love you.. hahay.. galing mo talaga.. to the highest level.. godbless sa group nyo.. ;p

[jpams]

ang ganda nitong kanta, by far my most favorite rendition from this group. ang galing ni joan cano.

[2007apeiron]

what were the other songs...they competed in chech??? except..elijah rock, gabaq an, unusual way..the other two dat won them 5 awards>>??? thanks

[yoshiharu07]

wow. . amazing talaga si sir fidel. .

and Joan Cano, galing niya sobra. .

hehehe,. .

can you tell her, she's so fantastic??

hahaha. .

God bless you guyzz. .

[Tthira]

Beautiful, beautiful voice!

[erciasico]

wow joan! superb singing! very nice song, as well...

[yoshiharu07]

if you don't mind entengpol, sinu po ba ang arranger ng piece na to??? galing ng pagkaka arrange. . and joan cano really sang it well expressed. . bravissimo to her and to the rest of the members. .

[entengpol]

hi yoshiharu07, sorry for the late reply, this song was arranged by Sir Fidel. Its actually his favorite arrangement amongst all. The song came from the hit-broadway musical classic which was re-staged last 2003, still on broadway, which starred Antonio Banderas, Jane Krakowski, Chita Rivera etc. Its Anyonio Banderas who sang this song in the musical.

[phillieboy]

the soloist has a GORGEOUS voice

[Mayflower1357]

Her name is Joan Cano.

[razorgenius67]

agreed

[Mayflower1357]

The UST Singers won 4 of 5 parts of the competition in Olomouc, with each 100 of 100 points, and the 5th part with 99 points, total 499 of 500 possible points.

[entengpol]

hi mayflower, actually, the group won 5 categories (sacred mixed, secular mixed, gruppo vocal, folkloric mixed and spiritual/jazz mixed) out of the 10 categories (the other categories were children, all-male, all-female, youth mixed, adult mixed) which the choir did not participate in.

[Mayflower1357]

Thank you, entengpol, for the information!

[PaulJacob]

galing talaga ng UST Singers!!!

[crasher72]

its just beautiful, the balance is is perfect and the soloist is heavenly.I love this group! My compliment to the arranger, I think he's a genius of the way he arranged this piece. KUDOS!

[homeydoc]

nicely done. the soloist was very effective and complemented the arrangement, and the singing of the choir, itself. great job guys!!!! galing talaga ng pinoy!!!

[entengpol]

grabe na itu! da best!

[yoshiharu07]

wow. . galing ni joan cano. . i love her sing. . hekhekhek. . . boses niya napa ka relaxing pakinggan. . .haaaiii. . God bless ur group. . .
