[madchaoslover]

goosebumps to the max- the kids angelic voice along with Tori's!!!! just awesome!!!!

[temptationsgirl]

my god what a voice. she is the most amazing girly ever.

[TheMashSher]

Тори как всегда потрясающая! Так мило.. от любви к ней хочется плакать)))

[ceka03]

What a great song to sing with the kids, and still gives me chills everytime I hear it. She has a voice of an angel and so do the kids :o) Props to such an awesome music teacher too!! Your compositions rock dude!!!

[eenafit]

could there be anything more amazing in the life of a Tori fan? I need a blanket, sitting on my bed watching, I have constant chills.

[mandaJt]

Beautiful! You're an awesome teacher. I wish more teachers were like you.

[mjloy76]

GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE!!! U got to see her moved to tears.... Play ur guitar to her beautiful voice...---w/ talent by the way.... Happy for u....

[jamesscurry]

I cried my eyes out listening to Tori sing wiith these incredible kids.... There's something so powerful in the song Father's Son. I think what this music teacher has done for these kids is the exact opposite of "planting a seed of hate"; He has in fact planted a seed of hope.

[Ted3204]

I wan to be one of those kids!!

[jerrypwjr]

I never get tired of this.

[torifan712]

And this...is why I love this woman! She is real and so sincere. Thank you Tori for showing these children REAL music. Thank you  thank you thank you!!

[gaia511]

wow... THANK you for sharing this and planting the seed of music in these AMAZING kids! THANK you THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[Wibblywoo12345]

She really is an incredible singer. A lot of stars wouldn't have been able to jump in as spontaneously as that and sound just as good as on their album.

[slivertoe]

Lord, what must it be like to accompany Tori Amos? I'm dizzy thinking about it.

[fr3shballa14OG]

we need more teachers like Gregg and more amazing singers like Tori!

[MsKornluver2nite]

I was literally born listening to Tori Amos because of my sister who's obsessed with her lol. Now I'm 17, & I never knew what a great woman she is. I guess it's because I'm so used to her, and as a child u don't have the knowledge to understand everything that happens around u. I feel like Tori is a sister I never knew.

[bloodypepper]

omg her voice

omg her voice

omg her voice

[claudia62782]

I discovered her when I was 11 now being 27 I love love her, so peaceful your kids are so amazing and you are such an AWESOME AWESOME teacher. BRAVO :O) being from new orleans we see so much music here and your kids are one of the greats I think

[missfire13]

this is soooo beautiful.. bless you for this!! omg..

[klimpensonice]

I've never seen a guy so euphoric! I would be too :)

[waterdrawn]

LOVELY, MADE MY DAY!

[Eponine24601]

Ah this is just so amazing. Tori's voice is so clear in this video. Wow. And the kids... jeez.

[jackiepetal99]

what you are doing with these kids is so inspiring! thank you for giving these kids such a wonderful experience!!!

[lisaskim]

tori's voice is so haunting and powerful...

[Siren7979]

This is apsolutley pricless and I would of PAID to see your kids and Tori do this, if they ever do a concert together I and thousands of others would attend Im sure!!!

[Clarinder19]

her voice sounds amazing.

[Existantia]

Wow, she's sooooooo amazing live. I remember hearing her in concert. Magnificent!

[shawnfrawn]

I met Tori at the Burbank airport a few years ago... She is as amazing as she appears in these videos with the kids of PS 22. What a rare treat to find this.

[roarul]

WOW!! Amazing, really. She has an angelic voice, and the kids really fit her! She should do an album with them.

[dedrawilliams]

they are so lucky .:

[formanm19]

Tori really is incredible and the kids and Mr. B are amazing. How do we nominate someone for teacher fo the year?

[iamrepete]

Tori would make a great music teacher,IMHO.

[mikeyirish1967]

This may have been the most affirming thing I have seen in years. A great artist, a great teacher, a new generation of musicians/singers. The world is a better place.

[jennyg3569]

Bless you, your chorus, and Tori. What a collection of beautiful souls you all are.

[julieswahn]

I really love that music teacher because he is doing something so much with his life by lifting others up in the process. To have a passion, study it, live it, share it the way he does is magical. He absolutely deserved every single moment of this glorious experience, and those sweet children as well. And hey Tori, what a gal! Gotta love her.. that voice! *dies*.

[RussX5Z]

Amazing!! Sort of like a Tori Amos version of Another Brick in the Wall. Very emotional, moving, and lovely performance by the way.

[loverz4eva12]

dat waz the b3st schooll eva nd so waz the teacher i miss u mrs. B

-aMELA

[marinafilms]

seem*

[marinafilms]

and you see, like a fantastic music teacher! honestly you must be one of the best on the planet. your students must have so much fun :D

[bloodsling]

pretty damn cool

[shirtrippa69]

this guy is like the black jack of school of rock! BEST TEACHER EVER!

[BrockRon]

what a beautiful voice Tori has... just amazing!

[FastforwardTheRewind]

She's such a beautiful person.

[alliegoestocollege]

I am so jealous.

[BrighidMusic]

From music teacher to music teacher and biggest Tori fans! What a wonderful man to have his school chorus sing Tori's songs! I'd like to meet you!

[LaLaManfr0]

Oh, God, I would die xDD.

Why is she so amazing?

[knuckless69]

what an amazing, amazing voice !!!

[ffincz]

i think i would die of happiness being there.

tori amos and this song and this really amazing chorus...

[betterdays105]

I love how the kids keep looking to their teacher. What a wonderful educator!

[tooteyfrootey]

yes betterdays105....I noticed that too!

[saltywounds]

Wow, she's quite good and patient with teaching the kids the song.

[HakuhoVento]

I would die in peace if I could have the oportunity to sing with her. She is so amazing!

[sam20200]

I didn't like FS. Actually I hated it. I saw it live in concert last year apparently but I can't remember it. But after watching that....loooooooooooooooved it!

[stareleades]

I actually couldn't agree with you more

I thought it was one of the most unappealing on the album

but after watching this I adore it .

[nottheredbaron]

best song on the album

[strangelittlegirl27]

I am so happy i found this!

Thank you so much for sharing these

Tears* I love them, i love this song

<3

[monalisasmiles4you]

You're a fantastic teacher. That's awesome Tori came out to sing with the kids. Right on!

[shealways]

my god..that guy is amazing teacher

[NightAtTheOpera]

i found it kinda funny when the kid started to tape it ith his phone lol thanks for posting, this is great

[PrincessAspen3]

wats the guys anme that plays the guatair??

[BoysForPele1989]

I was too touched; I had had to turn of the computer speakers and turn on my keyboard to play the piano component.

[BoysForPele1989]

Also, think of the impact and magic of this situation. Father's Son is about social cycles that kill a person's humanity, "Plant another seed of hate In another Father's Son."

Toris elixir, woven into this album, has shown through; she is truly gifted, warm, and brilliant. Her sonic herbs are being rooted, and it is captured here. "Through the Looking Glass, Ruby sees things in you, things in me she won't wanna' be, just a little light, turning the key, at the root, what I miss she will carry."

[jamesgov]

This is awesome!

Congrats to you and your chorus.

I've been a huge Tori Amos fan for many years.

I'm from NY & worked with school programs too, and wouldn't have thought this was possible. Great to see. Good for you for having the vision and passion to make it happen. Not to mention the talent and unity to guide your chorus

[zwiggegirl]

WOW!!! simply amazing...

[ScullyAmos]

I'M GOING TO FAINT!!!!

[navywife1977]

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shelarit]

Oh, my God! That lucky S.O.B.! I'm in tears!

[stoff101]

Wow, this is amazing to see, thank you so much for uploading it. What a legend Tori really is. It's true, nobody else would take time out to do this. Tori is just THE nicest famous person ever!

[sleepypoodle]

What an incredibly special woman Tori is and as for that lovely teacher and his brilliant, talented class...I'm speechless! It's really moving to see human kindness and generosity at it's best.

That must have been a very special time for them all...incuding Tori. Thank you for uploading this remarkable experience.

[barzero]

Tell me another worldwide recognized artist that takes a time for not just visiting a presentation but being a part of it for a few minutes and being more than just an audience but a part of their creative process? There's no one. As I said before... I get in love with her each time she does amazing things like this.

[AmyRoseXOXOXO]

WOW!!

[springhaze01]

fantastic! amazing. so awesome.

[fireeaterswife]

omg this is the sweetest thing ive ever seen.

[temptationsgirl]

she's such an amazing woman. I dont see how anyone could not love her lol

&hearts;

[elparrot]

you said it! :)

[PuppyTN]

I am buying her album today.

[lauderthanbomb]

WOW!

it brought me to tears...

how amazing is that artist like Tori can behave like a human being and find some time to support you and those talented kids who are most incredible little beings on that planet (just after my nices haha)

good like to you guys and I'm so jealous you had a chance to meet her... I'll listen to some Tori's songs now :)

[Checkerbabexox]

ZOMG YOU ARE SO LUCKY!!!!!!! You got to perform with TORI AMOS???? She's like my idol!!!

[jerman90]

It's so awesome that Tori had this interaction with the kids. I saw her say in another video that it meant a lot to her. I am sure she will have them in mind while she is writing this new musical. I met her this year for the first time and she is so dedicated to what she does and so emotional about it. There is no one quite like her.

[GirlDisapppering]

This is so Awesome! I can´t get over it!!

You got to PLAY with Tori Amos, and your choir sang with her!!! That's sooo a dream come true!!

[agreggofsociety]

Thanks GD, a dream come true indeed!! My life since has been filled with the occasional pinching..... :)

[jerrypwjr]

So ummm...any talk of them doing a recording with her?

[agreggofsociety]

ha! i think our lady is taking a well-deserved rest and probably recording at ALL is the last thing on her mind! but don't think i don't appreciate the thought! :)

thanks!

[RSVibe]

that would be amazing for that to happen!

I love these kids doing the backing vocals on 'Father's Son' here!

Tori chose an excellent song for that!

I heard you suggest 'Happy Worker' (I LOVE that song) it would have been awesome to hear her singing that and even more so with those children!

[agreggofsociety]

well, actually i REALLY wanted to do the father's son thing cuz this was right when the album came out. i was thrilled that tori insisted on that one. no regrets here. :)

[jerrypwjr]

Greg & kids,

I dont care how many times I watch this...it puts a huge smile on my face.

xoxoxo

[StsSunnyCharlie]

thi si just wonderful!! thakns for sharing!@

[tkameron323]

[Woopee]

errrr.

Get that finger out the children's face!

[agreggofsociety]

i'm fairly confident they wouldn't have minded if she kept that finger in their faces all day....

[pumpkinpjays]

Really! Especially while she was directing and performing in a sing-along with them!

[poder80]

hahaha

[reelinaround]

There will HONESTLY NEVER be another Tori...

[vogelpaco]

Sie ist so wunderbar, das ist nicht in Worte zu fassen!

[darkwolfshado]

[jesicalea]

You are so lucky! Wow! I think I would have passed out if I met her. haha

Can you tell I'm a little obsessed?

[Hadleygirlie]

Now...that is a TRUE artist...to take the time to come & sing w/ the children:))) Tori is my favorite composer!!!...sooooo beautiful; both she & the children singing & you:)))) Thx so much for this!!! Mua;-)

[Rockart9]

Amazing such talented kids!

[swimminglyfilms]

Beautiful :) must have been a great experience, too

she looked so moved by your choir!

[Hereinmyhead102]

Greg i never noticed this till my girlfriend told me. Tori had gum in her mouth while she sang that song. after she is done singing she starts chewing on it again.

[agreggofsociety]

yeah, i should have put her in detention.....

[TheAngryPirateSings]

Awesome, you got to play with Tori. You musta been in heaven.

[therapist66]

[pergaperga]

I am going 2 her concert! It will b so awesome to see her live!

[enchantedblack]

[mort2003icia]

[FuzzyWhisper]

I've never heard such a beautiful voice from someone singing live. Truly remarkable.

[UNCLETUNDRA]

This was freaking great dude!!!!!!!!!

I NeVer heard Tori sing with an acoustic guitar.

[patrosfeta]

these kids are sooo lucky.

[anndromeda]

I've been a fan of all your Tori covers, they are so moving. How in the world did u get Tori involved?

[dee1975913]

gregg this is amazing!!! its really touched my heart ..xxxx

[aquadonia]

Wow!! To co-teach with TORI!!! So cool!

[agreggofsociety]

yeah! that was me -- i gave her bodyguard the video at the ann powers interview in nyc! cool that you remember that!

:)

G

[jerrypwjr]

That's wonderful. i wish i had a music teacher like you. mine were stuffy and all had very trained voices. they found music it didnt find them.

(btw that last sentence was supposed to be "...your little group of fans became hers."

[jerrypwjr]

I believe I have heard of you(way prior to youtube)and your students. Did you once give Tori a tape of the kids singing "Twinkle" years ago? Well either way, this is moving and Tori is always so good with the fans. However I have to say its evident after this your little group of fans hers.

[nickwylie]

this is fake

[agreggofsociety]

lol!

[ColinSchermerhorn]

Oh God, Tori is just pitch perfect on this song. And the chorus is just absolutely beautiful. I love the idea of these kids getting such a great musical education. Tori is one in a billion.

[Genbenaus]

Have you heard this song done on AOL Sessions? Chilling!!

[ssdmbfan]

Outstanding videos and great website. You guys did great and Tori was unreal. I'm happy for you all that she came...amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[dendraica]

I did not know she had a new CD out - last one I bought was BeeKeeper. I am so going to go get her new one now. :D Omg this is so amazing I actually cried when I heard them. Your kids are beautiful inside and out.

[AbortiveMind]

I can understand why Tori cried at their performance. These children have wonderful voices and they're extremely moving, brought the tears up my eyes ... unfortunately I can't hold them back as Tori does, hahaha. Wonderful, absolutely lovely. And very lucky too ;) Any room in your chorus, hehe just kidding. Keep transmitting your passion, you're a great teacher.

[maidentr]

TORI AMOS you are a goddess. such an inspiration i swear.

[EYALSAADOUN]

that moment is such a chance

there r so many things to say and you've hendled yourself fine

[EYALSAADOUN]

my god.....

you were probebly one of the happiest people on earth that day

[agreggofsociety]

take out the "probably one of" and you hit the nail on the head!

:)

G

[blissteria]

She should record versions with the kids. They could release them on a benefit album / charity single type thing. These clips are really amazing.

[Qolus]

She directed the choir at her dad's church when she was a young adult, and you can see her going into what must have been her leader mode for this. It's fantastic. Thanks so much for posting everything!!! <3

[turnoffthetv]

That is just so awesome to watch. Tori is such a kind soul, seriously. Does she not have the most amazing aura?

[sexysebastian]

IM very happy for all of you. That must have been a day filled with love and awe.

[iggypop2020]

I always waned to see Tori sing without a piano, even thought that is her signature piece...... I have never seen her alone with a mic. this is amazing, you guys rock!!!!

[monkeyeagle]

She sounds Beautiful,and it was very Sweet of Her to come and Meet these Lucky,Lucky Kids!!!

[Ginlah]

[KleptHoeManiac]

Lucky you! I'd die if i got to even speak with her...let alone play her music in front of her!

[tocchet222222]

just bought the CD because of you, Greg. Tori you are amazing, Greg and kids, beyond. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thank you.

[rodeoskunk]

This is amazing footage.  Very raw. Very human.

[Hereinmyhead102]

Thats very nice of tori to make time for all those kids. It must be very inspirings for all those kids to meet the person that they have been singing songs by. I have great respect for tori as a song writter and now as a person.

[Augustrain82]

Wow , i Love seeing teaches so passionate for their work. And it is great to see kids so into the arts, they sound wonderful. And wow Tori was great. Ok im in ny, now do you guys do shows?

[Fairydustforever]

[ZZeynop]

OMG! This is Amaaaazingg!!! Greg I'm so happy for you!

[kabville]

Wow Gregg, this must feel amazing. And what must really be amazing is the fact that you really DESERVE this blessing personally, considering what pertinent work you have done with these children. So more than to Tori, I thank you for this amazing gift you've given the world. kabitat at gmail dot com, myspace dot com slash kabitat

[Absinthegirl]

Wow!

[2News]

Great stuff. LOVE Father's Son!

[celie2]

I was truly moved to tears, I don't know you Greg but I can see what a wonderful inspiration you are to those kids, whose voices are angelic. I am running out right now to purchase Tori's CD. I really hope she invites your group to sing with her on tour or on her next CD. Keep up the good work, you have made my day.

[nascargal]

So touching. :) I love it. And I love Tori.

[ICEcreamAssassin78]

her voice is amazing and the kids are thriled.. great moment

[dazzles]

This is my most favouritest thing ever on youtube

[pickypocky123]

Wow, I'm impressed. You handled this incredibly well. You know, I always hate seeing fans that froth at the mouth and are weird, but You have done great stuff with her music and you were both working together.

[hollygoltly]

HOW AMAZING!! I am so happy for you guys! This really adds to why I love Tori. Congratulations!

[AsAmsterdam]

This really renewed my respect for Tori's voice and music in a whole new way. I don't think I've ever seen her sing so well.

I'm so happy. And I'm so happy for you and the kids, Greg.

[mooky9669]

this is beautiful.....Tori teaching is wonderful....she is deeply moved by thy kids singing...made me teary eyed too..

[luplula]

wow... it's really amazing that she just went there and met you and even sing... I'm quite moved...

[mostlydry]

This is just wonderful, I so wanted this to happen and you're one very very lucky guy

[gustopheles]

This is so wonderful for you! You're obviously really extatic. Right, and just so you know: "Smokey Joe" isn't just Pip; it's a duet with Pip and Santa.

[lipglossboost]

to see Tori in "teaching" mode is such a rare thing...and the kids are really attentive & appreciative. Bravo!

[susie666]

Yes, how amazing is it to hear Tori singing with Mic in hand and no piano, she sounds lovely, and what a treat for you to back her...Very proud moment for you I bet..

[jasonsechrest]

And you're freaking HOT and talented, by the way! LOL

[jasonsechrest]

This is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. I am in awe that she came to see and sing with you guys. Holy crap. And something else -- how often do we get to see her sing with a hand-held mike? Getting out from behind the piano??? So rare.

[lillof]

OMG, I can't believe she finally met you guys!! I'm so moved!! I know it probably was the most important day of your life, Mr. B, and I'm so happy for you and for the kids!! Blessed you and Tori!

[jerman90]

I've been a fan of Tori and also of the PS 22 kids. That was so nice of her to show some appreciation for what the kids and their teacher too.

[joshejosh]

OK... I found it! Nevermond...

[mikeabnooy]

My friend and I love your videos and I was praying that Tori saw them because I knew she would want to sing with you guys. You have given these kids a great gift-maybe you can sing at the night of her NY tour?!

[agreggofsociety]

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!! :)

[joshejosh]

it was in rare form! SOOO PERFECT! Where will U blog your story?

[robertschrader]

Laird is looking rough.

[lanoragd]

I am so happy for you and the kids. AMAZING!!!!!

[argentoo]

this is the best video of Tori singing her new songs.

GOOD JOB!

[optimusbjork]

God, she sounds fantastic. And your guitar is just fabulous. She should perform it this way all the time!

[agreggofsociety]

Thank you! My guitar is nothing. But her voice was in rare form..... We were priveleged! She was feeling it.
