  • Lol your pronunciation suckss.... I speak French.... And my choirs singing this....

  • lol well at least i know my choir is going to sing this better next weeek ...

  • It depends ... is this Chamber or just a regular choir. If it's a regular choir then it's decent-ish ...

  • It sounds like everyones screaming.... they need more vowel shapes, and learn to blend. I can hear wayyyy too many voices sticking out. Basses kinda lost their pitch too.. My choir is doing this song, with pretty good french, and blending pretty well, even though we only have one bass. Oh, and we're only in middle school. .. Sorry.

  • my chorus is doing this now

    i liked it, just should have been faster and bases needed to back off.

    i completely agree with the whole french sucking thing, i'm a spanish student.

  • this hurts my ears....

  • not to be mean, but this is pretty bad. del sol high schools choir did this, and it was pretty amazin. im so proud of my school. they should have worked on their pronounciation, vowels, and dynamics. look for del sol's version of this song, and see the difference.

  • err.. what happened to vowels? this does not sound very good.

  • It sounded like one of the sopranos was singing(screaming) loudly over the entire choir...she needs to tone it down lol..It was good though.

  • Your vowels are...very bright-sounding...

  • this is really bad...vowels or round sounds anyone? my choir did this and i'm a freshman we sounded soooo much better....sorry.

  • This is horrible. You need to work on your vowels and Pronunciation. You also need to listen to each other. I could hear some people sticking out..

  • accapella is way better .

    we did better in middle school .

  • this isn't very good.

    Vowels need a lot of work and cutoffs aren't together.

  • the pronunciation is so butchered

  • the pronunciation in this is horrible. the men have pitch issues. work on your placement and vowels in general and your sound will mature by about ten years.

  • your French is terrible!!!!!!!!!!! and yall sound terrible too..needs alot of work

  • It sounds like your director picked out a song and said hey choir heres another song for us to SHOUT! WTF, try some dynamics...

  • this is a song about dynamics and my teacher has been working with our class for competition. Instead of plowing through it, you should have different levels of dynamic markings.

  • my advanced choir is doing this song. its really hard song. i think they did a good job

  • i like this song but man u guys sound very elementary not even like 10 year olds like the seven year olds that are like mommy i want sparkley blue nail polish o and u had nooo dynamics!!! Dx<

  • i second that last comment

  • Oh...my....God. They sound like an elementary choir. I performed this song in seventh grade in my district honour choir and it sounded better. A tough piece, so congrats, but try finding a better choir. It wasn't even sung so much as yelled.

  • its not deeray or diray theres supposed to be a kind of soft ch/g sound. idk how to describe it at all...but in middle school the french teacher came in and checked our pronunciation.

    no offense but your la is kind of wide..

  • that was painful.

  • I'm doing this song for my spring concert! You did pretty good!

  • dude, your pronunciation sucks!!!!

    deeray?!!! dire not deeray!!!!

    not(feme) but (fam!!!!)

    jeez, at least get some good singers

  • What? It's dirai...pronounced "dee-ray."

  • what i meant was that, they pronounced it like

    deeee-raaaay!!!!

    not dirai.

  • My friend in choir (who also took 4 years of French) told me that they are told to sing it like "dee-ray" with a hard 'r' because it's easier to sing I guess.

  • I love this song, in my choir, 4 girls did this song for our solo-ensamble, and now our normal choir gets to do it in french and english. but I love this song cause its so gossipy lol

  • im singing this piece for choir, im in a middle school choir and were pretty damn good, but this is pronouned so poor.

  • i love this song i sang it at the beverly hi;lls high school with mr pressman awesome

  • oh my god. I've sung this song in a chambers choir and the vowels were just not fit for performance. It's nothing against the kids, the director should have known--or at least should have looked up--the proper pronunciations before embarassing himself (not to mention the kids) by singing jay nay low. The basses need to watch their pitch.

  • We're just a high school chorus in a school of just over a thousand kids in the middle of nowhere. Give us a break.

  • hey, look. I'm not attacking you guys. I'm questioning the director. It doesn't matter the location of the school or it's population; what matters is the director's skill. Maybe I'm just spoiled from living so close to NYC. (I live in central Jersey)

  • the director is flipping amazing. coolest teacher ever. i wasnt in the choir at the time, but i sang this song for all-county and it's tough

  • it's tough, but not too tough. I did it with my choir and it sounded much better. Really, if the French is wrong, the song cannot sound good.

  • i have to agree, though i have more of a problem with the pronunciation in general. it is french after all. "eel nay paw boh du too"

    hahaha

    love the song though, and the lyrics crack me up. thank god for 18th century french music with songs about cheating on husbands and masss orgies!

  • i was in that chorus.

    that was a fun song to sing.

    :] :]

  • Really.

  • so was I

  • it's supposed to be juh-nuh-low.

    not jay-nay-lo.

    quit being so american.

    you're singers. c'mon. adapt to the language.

    and did you say cause-eh?

    cause-UH!

    god.

  • we are working on this song at my school...I can't help but notice that it sounds a small bit off pitch coming from the bass section and very uneven volumes throughout...but good! Our choir is sooo much smaller than this one, but props to your choir!

  • woww.. improve on vowels on your singing.

    and for french, pronounce it more correctly.

  • i'm doing this song this year. i really like it =D

  • A lot of the french needs to be fixed. some vowels are just not pronounced like that and remember to carry the consonant ant the end of a word if the next starts with a vowel. I speak french and sang this at regionals...just so you don't think I'm trying to make you feel bad but it will help impress those who know it well.

  • Most of us in the chorus took spanish, so it is very likely that the french was pronounced wrong. Thanks for the tip though.

  • My friend has this on her Ipod! I thank her for introducing me to this!

  • The Chamber Choir at blue lake sang this beautiful

  • Is there a YouTube video with their performance of this song?

  • no I wish I love this song

  • I sang this song with my choir! We did it a bit different though, tempo wise, our was much slower. But very well done. =)

  • We sang the same song in the middle school district chorus!....though, i think we sounded better....then again i'm bias, we had more people, and you said the sound quality is bad so what do i know? lol ^^ Its such a fun song!

  • stuck in my head all week.

  • Be warned: The sound quality is really bad.

  • It's not bad at all!
