You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban - American Idol Gives Back

[simibug11]

It makes me cry every time I listen to it, but it is so beautiful!!

[BellENDwanKer]

I remember when my family was going through a TOUGH financial period, we still went on the website and donated 50$.

[singerdancer07]

The Choir's page is on youtube acchoir

[littlelottesangel]

Too bad NO American Idol comes close to having even half the talent of Josh Groban

[YnesVilhena]

beautiful! :D §

[sherrxyz]

i have heard these kids before they are great performers

[Scene163]

see now if they put this as a commercial for needy children people would actually give.

[TheBSBsBack]

this is one of the most beautiful songs ever... i love josh

[Aleysha185]

This song make me cry....

[kevinhagan17]

I Love It.

[wifflestar]

this is beautiful.

[Savior2k5]

People used to ask me this song every week in Karaoke, because I'd shed to tears, every time I sing this song and get to the part: "you raise me up to more then I can be" I remember of my father, my mother, and my brothers who I love to death.

[Ayumuobsessed]

romeo x juliet anyone!

[jetorresmd]

beautiful......

[simplycharming46]

This is so beautiful!!

[raecas11]

I got to meet them at a christian concert! I taught them a song in swahili and they helped me with the pronounciation. haha.

[betenivanua]

14 people don't know what music is.

[cristalfrom810]

every body this is really sad song for us and i was crying alot

[Shannyrox101]

I dont think any words can describe how amazing this song is..

but if they did They would come pouring out of my heart lol XD

[recoverfromhydro]

Everyone should dedicate this song to their parents.

[TastyTacoBoy]

W-o-w!

[aznmaplemaster]

i want mommy



[MrRko4Life101]

whoever dislikes this does not know talent wat so ever!! 13 people are seriously stupid! lol!

[poetbjc64]

He does this song justice. As it comes from his heart not just his head

[MEGNDIAalltheway]

I literally have goosebumps right now.. I never get goosebumps

[veroniqueqq]

OMG it is a strong beat~

[deningenkender]

@mccormickchantel

- I disagree .. I personally think that there's alot of industry artists that has a heart of pure gold. Let's say Celine dion, or Celtic woman. Every one of them has a voice of pure gold, with a matching heart. Those people doesn't do it for fame, they do it to contribute their wonderful gift to mankind. But josh groban has no equal when it comes down to the purity of voice.

[Kimcarmona]

I wanted this song played at my mom"s funeral. she did in home daycare for over 50 years so how appropriate with all those beautiful children

[b00123xxx]

I want this version on my iPod.

[Takaheemuranastope]

God has blessed each and every one of them

[adedoyintech]

Thank you Lord

[mmcharacter1]

he and those kids stole the show that night. no one else held a candle to them. no one else got asked to be on ellen because of their performance either. his voice always makes me soft and gooey and those kids were awesome and cute.

[sexysteven92]

iam a 19 year old man whos a police officer this song still tears me up

[JoschisMama]

LOVE YOUR CHILDREN

[candytoss]

Honestly from all the versions that i've heard, the original one (which is his) is the best. His vocal is a gifted talent and thank god he's a singer. A voice that touches countless of people.

[bushbaby001]

Bless the children...they will not only teach us, they will also lead us...Their voices bring me to knees and my heart sing with joy!

What an incredible opportunity to sing with Josh!

Much Love to All,

Bridgette,

[KWANLOONGTER]

[100036877]

look at each of these kids ,carefuly ...,imagine what each of the has been through already ....each of them has lost both parents .....imagine the moment they realied that there was no mummy or daddy anymore ....imagine that maybe their birthdays , first tooth falling out...christmas ....came and went without any notice .Who tucks them in at night , or holds them when they have bad deams ?

[kokomoo123]

mom walks in halfway through...."are you crying...?"

me *voice breaks* "no......just listen"

one minute later

mom: .....*sniff*......*sniff*.....­*starts balling*

[mccormickchantel]

And this is exactly the reason why I believe that Groban is the best in the industry... he has a heart pure of gold.

[skotg94]

i saw this tears ago and i just saw this again. :-)))))) it made my day so much better and i love the kid missing his front teeth! haha :-D and hes sooo happy

[Greenspots84]

Thanks so much for uploading this. I love Josh and the kids and you can tell that Josh loves the kids and vice versa. What a great video - very moving.

[q8ps]

[reebailovegod]

beautiful and i cant help myself but cry

[hasrol1]

[singxx100]

Beautiful

[3lizley]

they're so cute without front teeth

[Glee1love]

when there's children sing i always cry 

[nicehordygordy]

whats with the swearing buddy. Calm down now why do you wan2 religious for like that?

[nicehordygordy]

BabbaBish what does Jesus look like????

How did you get your idea of Jesus image? Have you seen him or met him?

[itzPHUZION]

@nicehordygordy I have. and thats what he looks like. shut the fuck up.

[justanote7]

@nicehordygordy I think Jesus is was a dark man who was probably all sweaty and smelly in those days. His teeth would have been rotting, and his skin would have been like leather by the time he was 30 or so. Idealizing Jesus to think he looked like Josh Groban is one more example of sanitizing everything from hands to an image of God!

[kyoko2zombie]

@justanote7 ......what?

[justanote7]

@kyoko2zombie Thank you for reading. That was a perfect response!

[doggirl10121]

the african children are sooo cute.

[believer2010ful]

@doggirl10121 Yes.Those are ophaned Children from Uganda taken over by Pastor Garry skinner 

[SunAveLydi]

@ijustcolored I understand... aaaand what style do you like?

[SunAveLydi]

@ijustcolored Why don´t you like Josh? Just a question, not offence or sth. :)

[1MaRiSs1]

my favorite par  t was from 0:00 to 3:37

[b3171990]

2:05 . yes.

[bhaktajose]

TO ELIS WITH ALL MY HEART!

[ukno918]

Wow, this has ascended the true meaning of music, Groban and the children sing with such emotion, such belief, it fills me with hope and sincerity. Incredible!

[horrorgal32]

8 People have no hearts

[Ponki1321]

@horrorgal32

Exacly, or they are jealous

[Jdashdawg1]

That man was born to sing that song. That's it.

[TheBSBsBack]

@Jdashdawg1 i totally agree

[MissGlambition]

those kids...no words baby i have no words to describe this....

[Yours0forever]

This is just precious. I have chills. Josh Groban is amazing and these children are so sweet. Their African accents are beautiful and they are incredible! :) <3

Just love them

[right2life]

[ckdd2586]

This is so beautiful

[ByndTheNrm]

The kid with missing teeth is a little GIRL, people. The boys are in hats, the girls are in headbands. Doesn't change how precious she is, or the incredible talent of these kids, though.

[IzzyL123]

2:13, that boy missing his two front teeth. When he takes a big breath to belt out the next notes, I just melt inside. (: He's the cutest little thing, ever. Hey, and there he is again at 2:40.

[FlygonFriend76]

I'm not one to get super emotional, but it really got me when the kids said "I am strong when I am on your shoulders" Screw Harry Potter, this here is real magic

[SpyMonkey1000]
