[msgina06]

Wow I must play this song like 50 times a day! I love when she hit that last note o. Champion sounds like angles singing. Well she is my angle!

[ZeniJAM12]

[wieldwords]

Be it 9 or 99, this song is forever applicable. Thanks for reminding me, Mr. B and PS 22. :)

[alex4u2monkeyz]

[peekaboo2u]

@alloverthebored1

Spare me would you? Common is a socially conscious person. If you would stop watching Fox News Channel and listening to all that rhetoric, you might learn something from him. He's a good guy that loves kids as obviously seen in this video...

Why not lay off the politics and just enjoy this video for what it is? An amazing experience for both the kids, adults, and definitely the viewers. Cheer up and appreciate life...

[rutthlessone]

Talk about teacher of the year. When I was a kid my elementary school brought our local weather forcaster. (sarcastically) YEAHHH?

[jody808]

very cool!! those kids are going to remember this

[MichelleLaBell10]

AWESOME, LOVE COMMON AND QUEEN.

[46madhouse]

Queen Latifah is a natural beauty - in the Pacific big is beautiful - luv your voice and your heart for the kids - you are a champion

[BerTinVan2012]

All hail the Queen..lol

[jayjose727]

YOU ARE ALL CHAMPIONS!!!!!

[jgnyg08]

loving the staten island fist pumps!!! yeah boi!!!!!!

[my2cents2u]

These wonderful young children cancel out every negative thing we hear about the youth of today. They prove the point I am always trying to make. The world is still full of dedicated, respectful, respectable people, who are raising confident, kind-hearted children. Kudos to Mr. B, who teaches and inspires them on a daily basis, and whose passion for music, and for teaching, are truly contagious. I am so excited for them - that they're hard work and their talent, has been recognized. :-)

[peekaboo2u]

In my opinion this song truly epitomizes this chorus and their teacher, Mr. B. To watch this video gives me goosebumps, you can feel the excitement by both the artists and chorus. You make me proud to be a Staten Islander! Bless all of you and thank you for bringing some sunshine especially with all the snow we've been having! YOU ARE ALL CHAMPIONS!

[martine2502]

you guys are good for the soul!! :-) thanks made my day

[h1ydrippa]

OMG I would have been screaming too! I love me some Queen Latifah!

[Virchew]

I'm so jealous right now! lol

[molamani]

im like crying this is so amazing

[faegrrrl]

Man, I wish we had songs & instructors like that back when I was in school in the 70's. I really think my self-esteem would be healthier. Or at least I'd HAVE a self-esteem.

I just want to hug all these sweet lil' babies!! They're so precious!

[slimjimzquinn27]

i love queen latifah

[kimmie6487]

2:14-2:17 is my fav moment from this song! Love it!

[gabibys3860]

im in love with thisssssss! geez ur fabulous

[kschoeck]

This is so awesome- so positive.

[JESmedley]

This may be one of my favorite performances. Such energy!! I absolutely love everything about this video.

[alrightythen1979]

You are doing wonders for these kids. It's an amazing thing.

[rellynewby]

to the music teacher - you are AMAZING for doing this with these children. as an alum of many choruses i can tell you but i'm sure you already know what music does to enrich the lives of those who allow it to. your students have the opportunity to know such joy because of all the energy and joy you invest - and clearly it is being recognized!! (and by my fav too- queen's been a role model of mine for a while)

keep up the great work kiddos!!!

[ScribbleTunes]

I have to come back and watch this again every now and then. Thank you Gregg and PS22!

[haleygrace1]

That was awesome!! And those have to be the most well-spoken ten-year-olds ever. Thanks for posting!! :)

[carebears2luv]

I would have loved to have a music class like this!

[cleowally]

That's amazing can't believe it hasn't gotten more views.

[ryw1118]

Wow, They must make you sooo proud.There parentsare so blessed and must be more then proud!...Keep up the great work Mr.B

[ADivinisYT]

Wow, the energy when they were singing with her was amaaaaaaaazing! These kids are wonderful. I can't stop watching them over and over again

[Teach6908]

Is that Mrs. B In the background getting a groove on?

[bonnielb2000]

@Teach6908 lol! sure is -- well spotted. :)

[solinantwi]

wow these youths are great!!!!!

[Diffie64]

How incredibly cool!

[cheba420yaaaaba]

these kids truly r champions

[QUITA12477]

man i wish my kids could attend this school just to experience this class! Amazing! Queen and Common just moved up my list of great celebrities!

[roxynikko2]

Who sings this song? I loved it!! So inspiring!

[heidijd]

@roxynikko2 they said in the start of the video that Queen sings it.

[zuliat400]

WOW my old school is doing so GOOD

[bobjfs]

You are such good, courteous boys and girls and great singers. I am a big fan and always will be.

Queen was right about working hard. And, did you ever notice that, when you work hard at something you love, it is difficult to tell the difference between work and play? That is because they are the same thing.

[nevada11]

if only the chorus & school were as popular when i was there, lol. glad to see it have success

[leeyah017]

I'm a champignon : )!!

[misstiq]

wow! make a real video!!!!

[DarthVaderVoldemort]

you guys are great! my chorus was blown away at the tree lighting in staten island

[RUNetiAWAY]

It's been a while since I cried out of thrill like this. and cause of somebody elses. thank you for the chills.

[RheAnn51]

@RUNetiAWAY I cried TOO! I found this VERY moving!!

[angelbratzhere]

"I wish they were more excited" LOL! You're an awesome teacher!

[MsIslandHoney]

This video made me cry! I salute every effort from the director to the kids.. especially the kids and of course my girl QUEEN & the fine young man COMMON! The children are our future and what we invest in them today paves the way the world turns tommorow!! And a special cheers for celebs like Latifah & Common for pouring into these kids lives and hope more celebs follow. It doesn't only take money but time and presence as well!!

[RheAnn51]

@MsIslandHoney I agree! Today, as I'm thinking about Dr. King & about the people of NOLA & the Gulf region affected by Katrina 5 years ago, I cry while watching this. It gives me hope that there is a generation coming who won't govern their world through hate, fear, blame, denial, & separateness...

Good teachers, good music, good families, good role models... There's a lot of good & a lot of good to be had. I *hope* for the best for all of us, & I won't give up on that. Let's make it happen! :)

[SheCameAlongg]

Brought me chills!!!! This is beautiful. The type of thing celebs need to do more often! :-D

[GirlDisapppering]

I looove these kids! <3 And Queen Latifah is the best! ;) I check in on your Tori Amos covers regularly, but your other songs rocks just as much!

[MachuPicchuTours]

Saludos from MACHU PICCHU Peru!

[jespeakfranglais]

I really love the video and song, but I find it a little funny that there are so many kids doing the Jersey Shore fist pump :]

[robertantonvlogs]

Latifah is kinda channeling Mary J

[SNYDAMAAN]

Did common even perform anything? He just did a few "uh!"s here and there but that was it. He should have done some rapping

[MyAfroShow]

I love your chorus.

This video really inspires me. I'm sure I'm by my lonesome.

[bonnielb2000]

OMG!! That was phenomenal. The Queen was fabulous, the kids were in their element with harmonies that were right on the money, and Common is the sweetest kindest man ever! The kids did work hard & it certainly did pay off. The messages of both Queen Latifah, Common, and the children were so on target. What a thrill to be a part of this awesome performance.

Kudos to Ms. Lisa for her beyond superlative video. WOW!!

Love & hugs,

Mr. & Mrs. B.

[jmalc04]

i hope these kids have a good middle school and high school choir to head over to!!

[Tech264]

I love these kids...So glad to see them in a studio. Hope to hear them in a track one day.

[lil22]

If Queen Latifah would have visited my class when I was in the 3rd grade, she would have gotten the same response. I'm almost 30. Classic. Respect.

[Myscannersucks]

I had the same reaction as the kids in my computer seat.

[singersatheart]

Love those PS22 Chorus kids... now with Queen Latifah!

[drewlincoln]

does nobody realize that this song was released for the 08 summer olympics? recycling is lame. but this is SO GREAT regardless.

[lnthofmann]
