Chicago Gay Men's Chorus: The Hallelujah Chorus

[cris001kay]

I really salute the pianist; was amazing!

[tantejoie]

More people need to find their sense of humor! This is FUNNY!

[brijenbley]

it is a shame that gay people can sing this song

[merlinnerd1017]

Great cause, but...the sound is half-hearted and weak =(

[TrevonGStovall]

I dont get the humor in the cards....-__- maybe its just me

[dgmisal1979]

@TrevonGStovall It's a spoof off of a comic routine involving mute monks "singing" this piece...

[WallyTehHood]

amazing song and hilarious cards-men. xD!

[sunny8792remote]

they have nothing on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. THe Mormon Tabernacle Choir is professional trained, and has real skill and talent. This group is comparable any local community singing group.

[OldDirtyRetard]

wow all these penises and all these assholes.....should stop the singing

[dbrawn2011]

This is amazing!!!!!

[7CheetahGirl7]

This is not disrespectful.Did you notice how you actually read the words BECAUSE of the humor? Agree with mercer240. Haters will always hate, but true followers of Christ will spread the word with their LOVE.

[dllawson]

However long they rehearsed for this..it wasn't long enough.

[evgam2]

@LaNenaRicca - how does gay men singing a praise song not seem right? God obviously made them, God obviously loves them.

[StephenGA1982]

LOL!!!!!! LOVE it so much!!! :-)

[paolamirandaoficial]

Geniously done, with humor and style. Very awere guys didnt make any mistakes with the signs. Well done!!

[TAJours]

The last guy is a little bit lost :)

This is really funny !

[chosengurl86]

this is soo stupid and disrespectful

[JusticeForTheDead]

@chosengurl86 this is soo stupid and disrespectful

then you must not be familiar with what is known as "traditional church humor" around the USA! Because I've seen far far far more corny, cheesy, and "disrespectful" humor from mainline denominations. You may want to ask your parents where your "humor" section of the brain is, because you got conned. ha... this was mildly funny, and light-hearted. this is what CHRISTIAN humor is about, playfulness that isn't dirty - get over it! AMEN!

[123diver123]

I fail to find any humor here. They are mockers of God.

[DocDawg79]

@123diver123 you obviously haven't read the Bible... it is full of humor. We have humor, because we were made in HIS image. God must love a good sense of humor... he designed it!!! Have you looked in the mirror lately??? God's gravity it doing funny things to my body.... LAUGH!!!

[MarylandBear1]

@123diver123 They're not mocking God, they're mocking the song. Unless, of course, you worship George Frideric Handel, then they are mocking your God.

By the way, I saw a life outside earlier. Perhaps you should go get it.

[42apostate]

Hey!! This PROVES without doubt that THIS music is NOT JUST for the self-righteous...

[LaNenaRicaa]

its funny, but still.. gay men singing a praise song? doesnt seem right.

[333aaa66699A]

@LaNenaRicaa

I beg your pardon, Ms. Self Righteous. I think if you made up your own mind, instead of listening and reading bigoted thoughts and words of others, including the Bible!, (speaking of which it's highly doubtful that God had any hand in writing anti gay rhetoric) you might surprise yourself by becoming a very nice person and enjoy all people, regardless of whatever persuasion. Other than that, please desist from listening, watching or reading anything that any gay person wrote.

[mikebe41]

@LaNenaRicaa Its funny how religion has deemed others that dont believe what they do as sinners. This was funny and fantastic!

[MultiWilliams32]

this is very creative and funny. lighten up, guys!

[lovemquiz]

what a disrespect

[42apostate]

@lovemquiz

What's disrespectful is peering down your self-righteous nose at others. How Christ-like...

Actually, I think God has a hell-of-a sense of humor. He made you didn't he?

[1trueloveforever]

they sound really nice 

[sk8rkid135]

Hahaha all the guys in the front are so cute. :P

[mstrippin88]

LMAOO LOVE IT !!!

[Tatianna34]

so cool i love it

[creecat24]

okay, that is a great song, and im sure god was laughing away when she watched it and thought," oh those crazy boys of mine." cuz im quite convinced that she has a good sense of humor.

[Luffy2062]

guys with the place cards are hilarious, especially the two at the end

[lubookworm]

To make fun of this beautiful of music was disgraceful. I have no problems with the men in the choir, but I do have a problem with the men in the front that made a mockery of the music with the place cards. . Either do it correctly or not at all.

[zambonigirly]

@lubookworm I can see where you are coming from, but just for at least the time it take you to read my response, try to see it this way: This men's chorus has found a way to sing beautifully and to entertain in a creative way at the same time. At a time when children are listening to hip hop, dance and rap etc (I'm sure you see where I'm going with this), I think it is wonderful that this group has found a way to reach those that might not otherwise be exposed to this beautiful piece of music.

[BlissfulHeretic]

@lubookworm Aw, come on! I'm sure Handel himself would have got a kick out of this! Lighten up!

[rolunaste]

Very funny!

[NosHabebitHumus]

according to Ephesians 6:5 "Slaves, obey your masters" That Saul of Tarsus was just full of good ideas, wasn't he?

[tarbelieni]

it's cool

[urAllanimalz]

according to Romans 1:25-32 all gay people are going to hell. they can sing halleluia until their blue in the face coz it dont matter.

[idoltyler06]

@urAllanimalz Oh shut your mouth.

[BCati]

Only a group of fairies could pull this off!

[anasvir72]

@BCati actually i've seen other versions of the placard choir. all pretty funny. there is even a high school version.

[loon2bird]

I like this video, it made me laugh

[TheKevinV08]

One Word... BRILLIANT

[NIGGAKILLAMF]

i suppose there are a lot of them with high voices...hhahahahah

what's with the signs....how childish is that...grow up...well, that's impossible...

making fun of christ, uh!...

[skyerune]

@NIGGAKILLAMF

Them using the signs to add humor is no more making fun of Jesus, that doing a similar joke to "I like big butts" is making fun of well endowed women. It's making fun of the music, not the context.

[zacklee0630]

great performance!!

[beatinbuddy]

Look, I really appreciate the Christian enthusiasm. Despite this, being a straight Christian, I would appreciate if you guys did what you were supposed to do and love these men as people like God would. Just because they don't like the same things as you doesn't mean they love God any less or that he loves them any less. God loves us despite any mistake or decision we make. Only he can judge these people. So please leave them alone. Stop making us look like a hateful people.

[dieunous]

Good singing. If only they would live what they are singing about and ask God to help them STOP BEING GAY.

[beatinbuddy]

@dieunous I appreciate the concern, but being a Christian my whole life, I would appreciate if you would stop bashing people for their sexual orientation. It is not hurting you either way. We are told to love people as they are and encourage them to seek guidance from God. Until HE has them change, it is not meant to happen. So please, don't be a gay-bashing bible-beater. It's not the way Christians should present themselves.

[monteverdi1567]

And it would be "Homos" no "Homo's" the apostrophe 'S' shows either posession, or contraction of a given term with "is," neither of which is the case here.

Well, Lord help you, you're just not that bright.

[monteverdi1567]

And by the way, "There" is always time to repent.

[monteverdi1567]

How very, very odd, that someone condemning a group for mocking belief systems (which incidentally is not what is happening, at no point in this video is anyone mocking Xianity or any other belief system) concludes his own speech with the mocking statement "right on, keep sniffing buttholes."

You were dropped as an infant, right?

[sbilfer]

Homo's want to be taken seriously yet they take nothing seriously and mock other peoples beliefs. Right, keep sniffing buttholes.

[mrskarenkatz]

This should be done with reverence.

[bergaminivideos]

My school teachers did this last year, with the cards and all.

funny stuff.

[mercer240]

lol! God and JC love everyone and can share in a good chuckle.

Haters can keep on hatin', CGMC keep on singing!

[carldecs]

Shameful. Some of the card bearers were making fun of this great hymn.

[flugel76]

@carldecs why do you care? According to your religion's dogma, every single perosn on that stage is of a reprobate mind, and already doomed to Hell. I don't think some comedy at the expense of Our Mr. Handel is going to make much of a difference....

[sbilfer]

@flugel76 No, their is always time to repent.

[bwayguy17]

AH-mazing!!!

[glakesdent]

Very very clever!  Good job boys.

[PennnSmith]

Thank God the deaf are finally able to enjoy this great work.

[muhdizgleet]

cute

[sagdik1234]

wonderful

[XtremeBordom]

Gay.

[OzBuckBear]

Yes!

[SenorJuanitoVerde]

oxymoronic

[alaskachica1]

wayyy to funny. =]

[melawen74]

absolutely classic!

[jtoy11]

I'm impressed by your spelling!

[runnynoz]

WOW..

how brilliant

[suzzw]

I laughed so much! This is brilliant!

[grainofsandfan]

Loved it.  Hope they have more chorus because they are having a great time.

[BellaSparrow]

lol that was so funny.... it didn't look as professional or as well rehearsed as some of the other ones i've seen, but it was just great when they started hitting each other with the signs...hahahaha :P

[Joe222539NYC]

Yeah! I'd like to see the Mormons do this!

Actually, I'd like to see the Mormons go at it with the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus...

That would be so hot! (In a Biblical sense)

HOT!

[BlissfulHeretic]

@Joe222539NYC YES!!! Mormons + Chicago Gay Men's Chorus = ♥

[42apostate]

@BlissfulHeretic

There are enough gay men and women at BYU that they could do something similar. In fact I think they should join with GCMC and tour as "The Mormon Tabernacle Gay Choir".

[miamniam]

@Joe222539NYC Sadly, it seems as if the CGMC is actually apologizing for performing this amazing, grogeous piece of music... Maybe they find it boring? Maybe should just stick to "Oh, Shenandoah?" Try the card trick with the Stars & Stripes sometimes... Ooops, sorry, that would be... ah... offensive, wouldn't it?

It's a cute concept, fellas, but please, just sing the music. You are fine musicians. The cheesy bit is distracting...

[saphistische]

Gay guys beat mormons any day of the week, and a hundred times on Sundays!

[irrationalobserver]

great job.

[AmITheSameGirl]

LOVE the humor! lol! Oh, and the voices are fantastic too!
