[jessshaun623]

I've only lived here since September. Moved here from Southern Illinois. Discovered this searching for Grand Rapids on Youtube a few weeks ago. Wow. Cool! Proud to be from Grand Rapids, Mi. :D

[Mopantsu]

Pretty damned good tourist ad!

[jonnyconn666]

The kid dropped his Drum @ 5:30, I demand they redo it.

[nvanhart]

@kingscouchport yes thatd be grand rapids' mayor haha

[mysticalmaria]

Very well done vid... but where are the women? There's hardly any women featured as lip dubbers.

[adamjohnston85]

Great video, I only have been there once over night but hope to return one day. I believe it's home to RBC ministries, makers of our daily bread devotional

[rippen42]

I come from that area and let me tell you... there isn't a whole lot going on there.

[bsdecoder]

@rippen42 haha grand rapids is bangin during the summer. we skateboard down there everyday and theres always something going on at rosa parks circle

[ankmuratt]

I will come to Grand Rapids, Grand valley State University. I love you... Wait to me Michigan. Thank you from Turkey. You greats...

[94XJ]

@ankmuratt We will be here waiting :D

[ChicaWolverina]

@ankmuratt We don't want you Muslim turds, just ignorant Dutch fascist!

[darion341]

@supersaleh1000 yes it's quite safe in most parts of the city and surrounding areas. I absolutely love it here and as long as you use common sense and don't put yourself into potentially dangerous then you should be fine :)

[Aseno08]

Wow, amazing. Makes me want to go to Grand Rapids!. Everyone who was involved in this, Great job!!!

[maldobostero12]

This really makes me wanna go live in the USA

[jbmfreak2008]

725 people Didn't grow up in the greatest city ever... Grand Rapids

[Lonegan63]

The stars of video: 0:22 2:27 3:28 5:03 6:25

[KingsCouchPort]

I just noticed that the guy at 4:31 has the face of the guy at :23 on his shirt.  Craziness!

[tommybakerjr]

@KingsCouchPort thats because its bill steffen. hes a meteorologist and almost everyone in town knows who he is

[Pinkamena495]

4:43 Uh...

[randireagan1]

..You can't see half the people lip dubbing. Nashvillians, where you at?!

[ToxikChristina]

My music teacher showed us this today... Freaking AWESOME

[oceansoul316]

The drum drop at 5:33 made me cringe

[nandoTMJR]

Who sings this version of the song?

[Lonegan63]

@nandoTMJR

The original singer: Don McLean

watch?v=olgyuhUEPFk

[shayna371]

[MrLiquidDeath]

... now do it backwards!

[benjijeeha]

til min 3:00 i thought i saw everything , but then i noticed, this video takes 10 min! Awesome!!

[shotonaniphone]

I'm sorry but what a lame video

[NaiyaElricx]

I FOUND WALDO!

[TiocfaidhArLa]

What moron said GR was a dying city? You want to see a dying city, come to my hometown of Flint, Michigan. I love Grand Rapids. My only minor gripe with the video is that I didn't see anythiing representative of my alma mater, Aquinas College. Well done to all involved!

[iamfedwell]

The pillow fights look fun 

[mrsLautnerswagg]

@iamfedwell IT TOATALLY WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jojolw234]

They said this was a dying city.

This is What my City said.

I'm proud to be a Grand Rapidian :)

[Mackinstyle]

@jojolw234 How the fuck can a city that beautiful in design (and with such great people) ever be considered a dying city? That's what struck me the first time I saw this: just how pleasant and functional the urban design of your city is.

[goodolboyful]

check out this school's lip dub!

/watch?v=b5LcmJJIr-w

[hannah3797]

the people who disliked this were stupid!

[ZbigBF]

Wonderful!



[ZbigBF]

Amazing! 

[timegirl777]

M Go Blue!!

[heatybeaty]

one word comes to mind cool

[GreenLemon52]

dying city....yah right

[softballlover094]

Wow, this gave me chills (: 

[yummietummysomy]

wow great singing

[MegaMerlano]

proud to have grown up here

[Konradz1995]

I saw this LipDub 20 times and and still I don't get bored!!!

I love YOU <3 <3 All the best from Poland !

[eeor3]

At the end of the video they blocked the view of the west side off with a city bus and then again in the ascent with the angle of the camera.

[Kdojangb]

I wish people from every country all over the world made something like this!

[Konradz1995]

@Kdojangb Exactly!!!

[neodrath]

what a great job pulling this together. Wow!!

[filmgeek520]

Is it lame to say I cried when I saw this? I know the traverse city lipdub was done in the town where I live now, but there's no escaping the fact that I spent the first five years of my life in this magnificent city! Proud to be a Michigan gal!

[tobylimit]

Absolutely fantastic video. 

[tastytreatmmm]

Great guitar playing 

[avanden17]

This is really cool! I was born and raised in Grand Rapids (lived there for 25 years). It's really a great place to grow up, but warmer climates were calling and I moved to Florida in 1999. Seeing this video makes me want to go back for a visit again sometime (only been back north twice since I moved and the last time was over 10 years ago).

[jfnuyen]

@avanden17 You should return for a visit to revive those old memories.

[124Paardrijles]

wow!! This is really great!! Very well done!!!

[williamsjakob]

@lonegan63 Thank You! :)

[Braylin50]

That was alot of fun to watch, thanks Grand Rapids.

[Konradz1995]

I love you !!! I love this film !!!

[jfnuyen]

@Konradz1995 The same to you, speaking as a person born in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

[Konradz1995]

@jfnuyen I love your city, I wish you all the best from Warsaw, Poland :)

And I hope that soon I will go to your city :)

[williamsjakob]

*ple died on 9/11 does that automatically make DC, NYC, and PA dangerous just because of that? Every city has its fair share of crime. Compared to most cities of similar size, the crime rate is impeccable.

[Lonegan63]

@williamsjakob & @winterkater

True, you're right. Sorry for my comment. By the way... the video is well done and emotional (thanks to the fabulous song of Don McLean). Grand Rapids is a nice city.

[williamsjakob]

@lonegan63, 3,000 peo

[Fredrika25m]

Makes me weep everytime. So dang sweet. Brilliant camera work brilliant directing...dog gone it -didn't even need an editor!

[BaconChild23]

I found waldo

[Lonegan63]

Two months after the shooting in Grand Rapids this video, a gunman committed a massacre killing seven people in that city. GR is safe?

[winterkater]

@Lonegan63 Was the gunman from GR?

[Bossnessization]

@Katjot

Yes ONE shot :)

[Bossnessization]

Fun fact:

This was all shot in ONE TAKE!

[NinjaUnicornMonster]

Lol, I haven't been to GR in a while. Im stuck in here in Lansing. (Michigans Capitol)

[swansabijr]

Haha, I love GR. My adopted city. I love that GROSS made an appearance at 6:43. In what other city can you go to free outdoor swing dancing parties every week!?

[Katjot]

This is my first time seeing this video because I kept hearing that it wasn't worth watching and that it wasn't that exciting, but this is amazing! Is this all in one take? Incredible coordination and choreography! Everyone who told me this was not very impressive should try to pull something like this off themselves. And I love that Waldo is there.

[Katjot]

and by one take, I mean is it all one shot?

[jfnuyen]

@Katjot Don't believe much of what you hear that is negative. Many people like to tear things down.

[ohhcuppcakke98]

Grand Rapids,Michigan is a nice place to live but is very boring if you ask me, not really a place for the younger adults, nice place to raise a family I guess. And our crime rate is low... We get bad winters and hardly a summer. So if you like running,biking,visting museums,visting coffee shops and want to get treated at one of the top ten hospitals in the nation. Come to grand rapids

[iJake2010]

Grand Rapids is so freakin awesome.

[hronay22]

JUST AN AMZING JOB! DON'T KNOW HOW YOU ALL CHOREOGRAPHED THIS! WELL DONE! Howie



[Noelegy]

*chills* at 1:35.

[dflier52]

Gr is an alright place. Lots of trees and does not feel like a big concrete jungle like some big cities.Lots of options here.

[CashandPrizes]

What do you mean safe? As in crime? it really depends on where you live. I live in east town on the east side of the city. The neighborhood I live in is nice, and I haven't heard of any break-ins. We have a homeless dude who can get annoying, but no one really bothers us. And I don't pay a ton for rent.

[chuckchilloutable1]

Very Inspirational I have to visit there for sure

[darion341]

I love living in Grand Rapids do much :) Definitely one of the best cities in the Midwest.

[supersaleh1000]

@darion341 is it safe there ?

[CashandPrizes]

I PUT ON FOR MY CITY.

[supersaleh1000]

@CashandPrizes is it safe there ?

[sellygfan100]

thats my city :)

[deathproofpony]

@sellygfan100 Looks like a really nice place to live. :)

[sellygfan100]

@deathproofpony it is :) hahaha

[940825151]

6:28 Notch......

[mrree1]

The Greatest Music Video Ever Made? Hard to argue with that.

[SMYLIE13]

First LipDub from the UK came out last weekend! Was done by a Small "High" school in Northern Ireland!! Becoming a National hit, but to be up there with the best (like this one) we need some viewers from across the globe!! FSL LipDub is the one! It's actually fantastic! Filmed by an 18.y.o. past pupil on a camcorder, on a home made tripod and edited on a normal MacBook! Thanks to everyone who looks! Means a lot to all here at Friends' School Lisburn! The best Quaker school in the world!

[quinkish]

thats amazing!!! straight up gonna visit it now becasue of this

[yummybeefyboy]

Love the guitar in the song

[joey1197bugs]

The guy on the right at 0.30 looks like aLee Mack with sunglasses!

[akim247]

0.21 AHHA! I FOUND YOU WALDO!

[jediwebdude]

I've been to Grand Rapids and enjoyed my time there. Great place, great people. Love how the city and community coordinated to make this excellent response.

[pelepmad]

Estos "putos yankis"... cuando quieren, consiguen cosas de auténtico arte.

Muy bueno el vídeo, aunque por supuesto, no es perfecto.

De lo mejorcito (lo mejor) que he visto en lipdub.

El tipo del 3'43 y la chica de rojo del 6´40... Lo mejor.

[ford1svt]

One of the most awesome and most impressive things I have ever seen. 'Well done' seems so inadequate

[toumatsch]

rapid multible shivers running down my spine ..(thx 4 that) probs to the steadycam operater!!

[CaptKirby18]

lip. dubs. are. terrible.

[toJaufre]

wow. this city rulez!

[lyssnewson69]

this is really cool

[lilashearjoy]

f'ing dumb shites liberals at Newsweek!!! You were wrong.

[1337unskilled]

Definitely one of the most awesome videos on the web. Very impressive, great work guys! I definitely have to come seeing Grand Rapids when I'm in the US next time :)

[HeartBeatAvenue]

@1337unskilled

you won't regret it, GR is an AMAZING place. I loved living there and can't wait to hopefully move there for college this summer. :) Great place for the arts. :)

[alphaaffairs]

we just did a christmas lip dub! check it out!

[pillarsofserpents]

Still Remains should be playing instead.

[alexcubs25]

SHIT this is AWESOME!!!!!!

[bobandlaverne]

YOU HATERS ARE DUMB!! WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAVING FUN AND UNITED AND LAUGHING YOU HAVE LESS NEED FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, LESS ARSON IN TOWN, LESS HEART ATTACKS, LESS BURGLARIES ON AND ON AND ON!!!!!!!!!!!

[strikingshadowsnake2]

I miss you Grand Rapids. You will never be dead to me. I lived in Forest Hills myself.

[Kezoriify]

This is a PERFECT

[paulalford100]

Just brilliant!

[ronaldromero85]

Favorited you

[cullumsm]

This was an amazingly executed production by Rob Bliss & many talented people & benefactors to support such an event... If the originally scheduled day hadn't changed, I would have been part of it as well.

As for those complaining about the use of emergency vehicles & roads being closed...

Things of this nature happen all the time for movies & tv shows as well as community events.

This was an amazing production that has made it around the world!

Save for this event, I have been part of every e

[Kakuoteyalu]

At the 30 second mark, that guy in the gray tank-top, he looks like a cross between Sayid from Lost and Steve Carell.

[HimerEntertainment]

For me this is a statement for humanity...very very good...and so well done

[CATminusch]

oh man das ist sooooooo...... niedlich wie sie alle zusammen das für ihre Stadt machen

[TimothyMably]

This takes so much planning. Awesome result!

[Haploveherxoxo424]

i live here! and im in it!!

[killerrobis]

How could they get police to collaborate on this? Also close all the needed roads and bridges? Having the roads open and police and firemen working is a lot more important than some youtube video. Isn't it?

[sammylove202]

@killerrobis have some pride ass hole

[VenTiion]

@killerrobis Im pretty sure the city of Grand Rapids (were i live) has more than 8 police/emergency vehicles. Dumbass

[killerrobis]

@VenTiion and? This is not one of their duties, they must be ready for any kind of emergency. Also I doubt tax payers pay them for participating in this kind of videos, wasting time, fuel and people resources. But I think having the bridges and roads closed for this is even more stupid. Even if this video gets a billion views, peoples time is more precious.

[VenTiion]

@killerrobis did you even read my comment, they used 8 vehicles that's probably not even 2 percent of the police in grand rapids. You are just a troll, you watch this whole video which is a great show of community love and you just complain please leave and never come back? Ok bye!

[killerrobis]

@VenTiion even if they had 400 emergency vehicles, that wouldn't change the point. That's like saying meh, there's 7 billion people in the world, let's kill 2% of them for fun and entertainment for others.

Also tell me how stating my thoughts in a comment section and opposing your invalid opinion is trolling? AFAIK you're the troll here clearly seeing that my comment made a good point and still arguing with me and insulting only to defend your city.

[VenTiion]

@killerrobis Your crying about closing some roads and using 8 vehicles for a world record. You have no good POINT at all, your trolling because you are complaining about an unnecessary topic like i said please leave, lol using 8 police vehicles wont hurt a fly bye bye now.

[antignome31]

@killerrobis shame on you. what a foolish waste of time to complain about something so ridiculous

[AnimatorCreator321]

@killerrobis Your an idiot, Grand Rapids is the 2 largest city in Michigan so I would think they would have more policecars and fire trucks than in the video. Plus there are other way around Grand Rapids than these roads.

[mattjbproductions]

5:30 FAIL LOL

[SlivaraBal]

Ya Know I used to watch this vid a lot, till I took an Arrow to the KNEE~

[SlivaraBal]
