Renée Fleming-Mormon Tabernacle Choir- JOY TO THE WORLD

[HConstantine]

So, becuase this is miced like a rock concert, were hearing a recording of music palyed over speakers? Stil, we're in a better position than the original audience who probably wanted to hear Flemming sing, rather than what is effectively a slightly delayed recording of her voice through speakers (god Knows what the engineers did to it!).

[elcantarodesicar]

¡Qué maravilla! Gracias por la música, por este coro, esta orquesta y esta solista. Y algunos dicen que no existe Dios... Como si nosotros solos fuéramos capaces de armar tanta belleza. Gracias de nuevo.

[YOSOYMORMON]

ME ENCANTA

[PianistandFencer]

Amazing concert! Thank you so much for uploading - do you have Angels from the realms of Glory? That's one of the best from the entire performance in my opinion, along with the finale.

[HandGottesInAllemNeu]

We all are blessed with different talents. I love this vid. It lifts up my heart and reminds me always to praise my God and his beloved Son Jesus Christ. He is my redeemer. Praise be to God !

Thank God for the music and all the joy it brings to the hart of many people. I do not know Joy Fleming and I am also not interested to know if she is a "good" or a "bad" person. I love her singing and I love the voices of the great Mormon Tabernacle Choir. THANK YOU !

[HandGottesInAllemNeu]

I love Jesus Christ. And I love all brothers and sisters in the whole world. And I love all singers and musicians who sing and shout out PRAISE to our God and his beloved Son Jesus Christ.

Today again this video made my day. And I love all persons who leave their comments hear and I love to see that all creation is so different and multiple. We need opposit versions of all things to see differences and make decisions. Let us respect everyone and help one another to learn in friendship.

@HandGottesInAllemNeu so you you like bad peoples?

[HandGottesInAllemNeu]

@MusicManiaBand .

Not always but I try and also I pray for the strength to obay all of Gods commandments: "Love your brother as yourself." Yes MusicManiaBand, I try to love all people and to forgive all people. I love the sinner but not the sin. Everybody must be given the chance to turn around and change. I am no ruler. But be sure that I am not yet perfect in this point. Especially to love myself for me personally is the hardest point.

[evangelineireland]

that chord between 1.09 and 1.10 moved me to tears

this made me appreciate my harmony classes so much more...

[ehswan]

Frightening histerical voice. Don't walk but run from such a horrific rendition.

[jpetros]

NICE!Merry christmas from Prague...!:-)

[HandGottesInAllemNeu]

Standing Ovations for Renee Fleming! Praise God for all of our different and special gifts and talents. It is always a matter of taste if one likes more this or more that. I love this song and I love to listen to Renee Fleming. Thanks to her and thanks to the Choir and thanks for the possibility to have joy - AND THANKS BE TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST FOR SENDING US HIS SON JESUS CHRIST !

[Royalorgans]

Joan Sutherland would have taking this song to higher hieghts if she were singing. it Look up Joan Sutherland and her JOy to the World.

[HandGottesInAllemNeu]

@Royalorgans Thanks for the tip. Joan Sutherland is wonderful indeed! How nice would that voice with the Tabernacle Choir in the background.

[Royalorgans]

I know you would have like Joan Sutherland version better. Joan Sutherland voice is ten times better than Renee Fleming. To be honest if you want to know the best Sopranos ever, Hear they are, Joan Sutherland, Maria Callas, Birgit Nilsson, Leontyne Price, Mado Robin, Renata Tebaldi. these waman are from the golden age and know one of today can match anyone them ( this is not just a opinion). the women I just name Have more technique and more Agility within the voice.

[damienvargas]

@Royalorgans It's not just an opinion; evidently, it's YOUR totally objective conclusion. LOL. Take a breath.

[PianistandFencer]

@Royalorgans umm...you, sir, obviously don't understand the definition of an opinion. Renee Fleming, regardless of what you may think - someone who spends his time criticizing performances and comparing opera singers because of their voices or techniques, about both of which I'm sure you know next to nothing, is one of the greatest opera singers of our generation, and there are millions of other people who would gladly run to a performance of hers.

[Royalorgans]

@PianistandFencer Have you ever heard Joan Sutherland version of singing this song.

[PianistandFencer]

@Royalorgans Sure have.

[Royalorgans]

@PianistandFencer well what makes you think that Renee Fleming version is better than Joan Sutherland version. Renee Fleming coloratura is not good as Joan Sutherland.

[PianistandFencer]

@Royalorgans if you'll take a look back at my comment I *NEVER* said Renee Fleming was better than Joan Sutherland. I just said she was one of the greatest opera singers in the world - which, in my OPINION, is true.

[HConstantine]

@Royalorgans Actually neither one are exceptionally singers. They couldn't sing Monteverdi or Handel to save their lives. I guess if you want Puccini....

[montsyblackmadonna]

@Royalorgans You left out Montserrat Caballe.

[damienvargas]

Red Alert!!! The musicologists are coming! The musicologists are coming! General quarters. All hands, man your battle stations.

[OlDoinyo]

The tessitura as performed here is too low for her. She needs to resort to ornamentation and transpositions to get up into her vocal comfort zone.

[catasabau]

who is the lady singing that bad...thanks guy for the shitty Christmas

[damienvargas]

@catasabau Does somebody want attention?

[catasabau]

well, it could help some attention, but definitely not from someone without a sense of good music as you sir. So kindly f off.

[damienvargas]

@catasabau Renee is an achiever. How about you? Achiever or whiner?

[catasabau]

no no, if 45 is your real age, than the question is: are YOU an achiever at your age, cause at mine(25) i think many people would say I am

[damienvargas]

@catasabau OK, if you are an achiever, than why do you criticise a fellow achiever, namely, Renee? You two should be friends, you know, equals no doubt. LOL

[BimbinaIndaco555]

the lady that is singing is too bad...i don't like this version , and this singer

[damienvargas]

@BimbinaIndaco555 I'll tell Renee that you think she doesn't sing quite to your expectations.

[CJErdo]

if you ever get the chance to see her in person, it is well worth the money. : ) I met her and she is a real lady. : ) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

[damienvargas]

@CJErdo Renee is top notch.  It just doesn't get better.

[starsplash9]

That Lady has got some kickin' lungs! :D

[damienvargas]

@starsplash9 She's on a roll.

[Mazarbul]

Best arrangement on yt, no doubt.

[plojr19]

Beautiful! Gets me in the Christmas spirit...gotta make it through Thanksgiving first :P

[keretceres]

there was another one of this video but it got removed i think :S that is why it has so few views

[DeutschlandBettina]

Das sind mal andere Weihnachtslieder als die schmalzigen schnulzigen deutschen. Ich liebe dieses Lied, das so getragen ist von Freude, weil die Freude einen mitreißt und das Herz sprngen läßt, sodaß man die Last der Erde nicht mehr spürt.

[moltoallegro19]

How come this video only have around 350 views?! This is seriously the best Joy to the World I've ever heard. The Tabernacle choir and Renée Fleming - both of them are very famous and should (one would think) bring in many views, but no... I don't understand.

[Vulture808]

@moltoallegro19 its now at 21,743+ now

[omiolo1]

Joy to the World!!!!!

Let earth receive her King!
