PS22 Chorus David "NOT THE RED BARON" by Tori Amos

[misschrisca2010]

Wow. I was not prepared for that. Beyond amazing. Heavenly. Knocked me over.

[bunchups]

Simply amazing version of a brilliant song.

[jameyNa]

AMAZING!!!!!!!! Wow I have been a big Tori fan since Early 90's , and love her music, but I juat came across the PS22 I can't stop playing them. This little one is AMAZING just stunning, I am crying, and can't stop. WOW

[Ciricorone]

16 people got too much used to nowadays music on the radio and forgot that yesterdays music shouldn't be forgotten.

[Ciricorone]

I love the original song by Tori Amos, but this version is just lovely. The boy has got a great voice. When the whole world would be just as passionate as them things would change a lot.

[gerrylazlo]

[salvatoreakrum]

mr. B you are amezing to do this for those kids much respect

[tarbyn]

most amazing kid ever... comparing him from this to his cover he did a couple of weeks ago, his tallent ahs tripled, amazing! you should make some videos of him singing with the choir.... AMAZING!

[whybother1100]

he sounds even batter when he gets older i can just llike i can just tell!!

[mxa9063]

I read that this song is about men dying from AIDS. Sooo haunting yet beautiful when sung by David. His reprise is just as awesome.

[0912rawr]

it's crazy to be able to see him in fifth grade and then again out of college. (the video of him is on agreggofsociety's channel) it's amazing to see these kids' progress. and to think that they got their start all because of Mr. B. it's amazing and inspiring. i only hope that one day i can be as amazing of a choir director as you, Mr. B. kudos to you.

[dizneluver]

he is so little in this video :D

[jihadpizza]

★★★★★

[natz351]

woah

total goosebumps after a few seconds

[dphilastre]

Tears. Seriously. One of my all time favorite Tori Amos songs and this is just haunting. This version needs to be in an Academy Award winning war film.

[coffeescup]

He really captured the feeling of the song. Wow.

[x0PreciousThings0x]

Is this piano live or is it a recording? Either way, it sounds great.

[agreggofsociety]

@x0PreciousThings0x live, and thank you! :)

[Raspberryswirl90]

Its a hard song to sing but he does that very well

[kailoluu]

Awh that boy sounded so good!

[jupitergrl]

Unbelievable. Thank you so much for all that you do, Mr. B -- I wish more people understood the absolute importance of music education.

[datvalleygurl]

i agree......ppl shuld notice kids like this... not like the fake kids!

[TheDreamEvilGFX]

piano sounds great and his voice is amazing

[strangelittlegirl27]

too see our youth sing these meaningful deep songs touchs my heart so deep and makes me so proud of them and you. You my friend are an amazing teacher and I adore what u have done, no words to tell u that u are changing the world kid by kid :)

[strangelittlegirl27]

OMG wow thanks for choosing this song <3

[Zendrig]

I guess, in a few years, the noisy kids in the background will be quite embarrassed when their parents tell them that they talked over this magical perfomance.

[shtomer]

WOW :)

[najastasi]

David brought me to tears with his version of 1 of the most beautiful songs on the "Boys for Pele" album. He really captured the essence of this song in his big expressive eyes, talented vocals, and passionate facial expressions during his performance. Mr. B, you work so hard and always deliver beautiful results. These kids really show how much they truly love you and your selection of music. :)

[TechReviews116]

such an angelic voice. he did this song justice.

[dancerx0x0x]

im speechless

[oooobeer]

David, you sang that beautifully. Seriously, man, well done.

[Zendrig]

How is this NOT 5 stars?!

[agreggofsociety]

beyond my comprehension. this may be my all-time favorite solo performance of any of our kids.... thanks for agreeing! :)

[scottkrys]

One of my favorites! Great job kiddo :)

[LauraDeLoessian]

this is more than amazing. i love this song and this is the ONLY cover version that is really worth listening to it.

just awesome! <3

[crystalsunshine]

favorited. i'm stunned that this video doesn't have more views.

your kids have been shining for so long Mr. B. its def. time they've been lighted upon by the major media so that these kids can inspire EVERYONE.

they'd bring the house down....wherever they go.

<3 ps22.

[agreggofsociety]

totally agree with you -- one of my top 2 or 3 favorite solo performances of all time by a PS22 student....

[crystalsunshine]

whenever the kids nail something so perfect..its kinda haunting. like, spine tingling even.

you'll be staying on with the school for a good long time? budget costs have been stealing great teachers away from our kids for far to long.

anyway, have a great day Mr. B. :)

[agreggofsociety]

thanks. no plans to go anywhere else. :)

[olyguy2000]

What an intense performance! It's amazing how he just effortlessly nails the vocals across the scale. He demonstrates confidence and a real stage presence.

[audiopleasure]

OMG this is just flawless... This is one of my favourite Tori songs so I was expecting to be very critical but he totally nailed it... It blew me away, I almost cried!!!

Much Love, Helen xxx

[PenelopeA57]

This is truly beautiful! He has the voice of an angel!

[erylone]

I just listened to him on the website...oh my lord...so fantastic!

[SoulmateDie]

Oh my god he's got a beautiful voice! He totally renders the sadness of this wonderful song. I'm sure Tori would be very proud of it.

[neverforeverkate]

This is so pretty! I love his voice! I love Tori's version but I think I like David's version better.:0)

[yennikcire]

This has to go in the studio, Tori should get some connections going on. It's absolutely a new conversion of a beautiful song, and uhh.. just amazing

[shootdashit]

this is just so beautiful. he did a great job. even sadder than the original. impossible.

[tenderbloodrose]

Precious. Ive seen this several times over the past couple years and it still amazes me.

[flappp]

when he hits that note on "heart," gah, i get get chills. it's so perfect. love it.

[agreggofsociety]

my favorite part too... :)

[gladks]

OMG. I just listened to the higher quality version on the website and IT IS INCREDIBLE! I too am fickle about Tori covers but this is absolutely beautiful.

[sarinola]

this gives me chills...

[angrymonkey123]

your video's bring me to tears,but in a wonderful way. you are awesome!

[BlancheDubois]

My dear friend who's also obsessed with Tori has shown me these videos of yours lately...beautiful! Especially the one where Tori witnesses your choir singing and she is brought to tears...I was too! You're terrific, what you're doing with these kids.

[yennikcire]

Someone record this song with this kid. Would die if I heard it in high quality.

Much respect.

[agreggofsociety]

there is a higher quality mp3 of this performance on our website, the address is located in the description of this video....

[yennikcire]

I love you.

 Thanks!

[agreggofsociety]

<3  :)

[olyguy2000]

@agreggofsociety *sigh* not anymore... '2009/07/davids-amazing-mr-bs-­poopypants' says the video is private. Aw shucks. Or did you mean somewhere else?

[Brendenrogers]

this is so inspiring!

[rachel1069]

him and justin are my favess !! i luv u guyss!

[vegbird1]

One of my favorite Tori songs EVER! David rules :)

[HappyChic727]

Do I see a future American Idol here? What a beautiful voice coming out of such a little person . . . yes, Tori would be proud David!

[B3rettaZ26]

very beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pumpkinpjays]

Stunning. How in the world does he manage to convey the emotion and message of this song?! Not to mention put up with all the activity of the audience; he'll handle hecklers like a pro. What a talent. Keep on singing, David--your future is bright!

[oo0Brokenwings0oo]

Incredible, really moving!

[jennyh714]

wow this is really beautiful-i have chills. How wonderful you are to show these kids how powerful music can be...and how wonderful that these kids get that and you can see they feel it. amazing

[distorteddream777]

Too cool....thnx for opening these kids up to an artist such as tori....really good job on the red baron...:::Cries:::

[wakingribbons]

just so moving, I could hardly breathe! Amazing!

[xchibxfestx]

i watched this last night and his rendition of this song has been in my head all day. it's hauntingly beautiful. i usually don't like it when people try to cover tori's stuff, it's cheesy, but this is gorgeous and heartfelt.

[lorenzo9473]

My dear young David, I'm 34, from Italy, and I'm crying. This is my favourite Tori song. It reminds me of when I was "down in the flames" and I kept telling me that it was all because of someone I did not "really know". You made this song more touching. Thank you, young man. Let me wish you all the best.

[crysunshine79]

I teared up! Wonderful!

[shiseidored4]

WONDERFUL JOB David!

beautiful...just beautiful

[phortion]

Let´s not overlook the fantastic keyboard work here. Just beautiful. This is my favorite Tori song too and in my opinion, her most poetic. For those who may not know the words, I think it would be fitting to include them here.

[plummis10feettall]

i think it's impossible to know that song and not weep at least a little to hear that child sing it. that was beautiful.

[filofaxxx]

wow

[cubbiefan23]

absolutely stunning!

[carolinemsvetlana]

This boy just made me take another look at this song... I'm a huge Tori fan, so for one boy to change the song for me completely is mind blowing. Thank you so much young man! xo

[assiahughes]

Brilliant! I am crying and nothing makes me cry.

[clampandbush]

Briliant!

[marcopolo30306]

this kid makes me weep w/ this song. Absolutely way too incredibly deep for some little kid, which makes it all the more beautiful. Great job guy.

[chicadificil530]

Wow is correct. Simply beautiful.

[Isaksen]

WOW. He is amazing.

[FirstTPNbaby]

it almost makes me cry...seriously! he blows me away!

[capnrojas]

He doesn't just sing this, he sells it! There are plenty of good singers that can't emote... he conveys the feeling so well!!

[brokngrrl]

LOooooooooooooooove this!!!!!!! Amazing voice! I want to hug this kid!!

[PDexistentialist]

It's so ego-less. Wonderful.

[schroeder666]

totally agree. absolutely genius performance. one of her better and more underrated songs, too, i think.

[optimusbjork]

That was wonderful.

[j3nks]

american idol winner in 2013

[srmelomano]

Do you suppose I could get a mp3 of this? It's just brilliant!!! Never thought a kid that young could handle this song SO well.

[Shandy64]

Did you get an mp3 of it in the end? If not message me and I can upload my copy for you!

[srmelomano]

Abso-fucking-lutely fantastic! Never thought a kid that young could handle this song so well!

[ravynkat]

this is FANTASTIC! he's got a wonderful tone and voice!

[Xone7]

Wow. Its so good that its almost disturbing.

[temptationsgirl]

I wish we could have covered Tori in chorus. This boy is so gifted. Absolutely beautiful!!!

&hearts;

[BugAMartini]

Tis is one of my favourite Tori songs!!! I cry when i hear it!!! This was just amazing!!!

[KICKstartchange]

When he sings "taking them into the flames" it makes my heart stop. The emotion he puts into that particular part is so beautiful.

[PreciousEarthquakes]

Holy poop! Is it just me...or does he even sing it with the exact emotion it needs? Cause I hear it. Amazing how a young one can sing this material like this. But it seems like children are sometimes more mature than a lot of adults.

[ulaluma]

Wow - -he's a talented kid!! What a voice. He sings it his own way, too. Impressive.

[SimpJee]

Wonder what happens when his voice changes.

[chiana1980]

Then he wont be able to sing as high ;)..

[agreggofsociety]

I think when you have a magnificent talent like that, it only grows into itself.  A voice like David's will go through time unscathed....

[vkotis]

He Does have a great voice and it will only grow into itself. I think its soo cool that you teach them Tori Amos songs! Never thought i would here it..

[AAHAA6112]

wow he is sooo good

[czecher81]

totaly cool

[zombiilove]

I'm very stingy when it comes to tori amos - i hate when people cover her cuz it just doesnt sound righ.But leave it to alittle kid to win me over!Yay!Little kids singing tori!Puts a smile on my face.Good job!

[gamecubelover]

holy crap, just amazing...

[tenderbloodrose]

Beautiful voice.

Oh my GOD I love this!!!!

[Orione]

Very talented. Please David, make a cd and come tour the netherlands!

[chiana1980]
