[kjfitzgerald593]

One of the best from that group. And I'm glad there was more laughter than pain at the end! Whew!

[UnclaimedTreasure]

Wow, you kids would make Cyndi Lauper proud with this. Amazing.

[SqwishTV]

A perfect example of how music unites us on another level!

[TTisFly4ever]

Is this a school or a program cuz if its a program I would LOVE TO JOIN MUSIC IS MY LIFE

[zillah67]

if only adults could get along in harmony like these beautiful kids...I love it !!

[ryw1118]

Each and every year they just get better and better!

[ryw1118]

Tear jerker, amazing,pure beauty!

[zielOOna7]

You are amazing!!! Greetings from Poland :D

[Kree30ter]

Thanks for making me smile. keep being you Mr. "B"

[theGREATrhondooley]

amazing! I wish I had a music class like this as a kid. :)

[draw09nowsinglater]

This is my favorite video of the kids. You can just feel and hear their emotion of this song.

[messiasmedeiros]

amazing children, amazing teacher, amazing song!

[renatoargh]

Whats is he saying after they end singing??? HUM-A-HA? haiuhaiuah

[JudyBean43]

briliant you should get Cyndi to come and sing it with you she would be awed Im sure..xx

[Darthpaul2003]

Sir, you are as amazing as those children are.

[DontBlink32]

I want to be like them when I grow up.

[ilzee97]

They are just like in a trance, because they love the music.

Its beautiful!!

[John007Jackson]

I love most the honest, pure song that the kids make. I also like their joy for what they sing as it shows in their expressions. I realize that you encourage kids to be expressive but there is something that happens when these kids sing, their expressions taught have become their own. I've seen choruses and conducted choruses where you teach expression but truly the conductor has found a way for these kids to be themselves while keeping quality and depth at a premium.

[fixenixe]

great job. i love to hear you guys sing! best wishes from germany

[badeendenliefde]

these amazingly talented kids make me cry everytime they sing :')

[MrIrreversible]

I cried.....

[smallvillinsa]

try express myself modanna

[smallvillinsa]

by that way you are a very handsome advocate

[smallvillinsa]

this is a insparation to me I could not explain it in words but wish this would

[hardinmichael1981]

Does Mr. B get workers comp if he trips on one of his students?

[awuki14]

I Think you should do Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri

[aimee1124]

That would be the best class ever.

[totaldramaobsessed]

my chorus did dis n we NAILED IT

[MusicLover8498]

Love it :D

[haikulon]

thumbs up if you can't see the dislike bar

[abrukhaukasu]

You adorn my Facebook wall daily :) xxx

[AlphalifeFan]

I loved how the kids helped Mr B up in the end. So sweet :)

[Orichon]

Who is this 1 dislike person?!?! So sweet... :)

[msamyg7]

Missed this, or did I, I just thought some friends might enjoy this :)

[LilKama1]

Takes me back to my first love.

Nostalgia and Irony.

I love it. Thanks!

[sanjaorl]

great job! as always.

[cat2229]

WOOOWWW!!!!!!! I called my english teacher in school MR. B (Berchtold) and he was as this one! Its really a awesome feeling to know that there are more of these fantastic teachers all over the world!!!!! God bless all of you!!! Greetings from - or of - those prepositions...- AUSTRIA! ;-) Thanks for this moment!!!!

[bsharon2]

Mr. B: You did a wonderful job with these children each and every year and I want to wish you continued blessings so you are able to continue. My daughter is in the chorus for 2012 and I can't wait to see what's in store for them. God bless you always.

[mikeyirish1967]

Mr. Teacher : you are a gift in the world and you are CHANGING LIVES. This made me so happy.

[VJiMarty]

Ahhh that's made me smile and cry at the same time. lovely Mxx

[profedsondecarvalho]

oh my God, you like angels! this made me renew!

[boyblue922]

the girl in orange is ready for stardom!!! She has it it going on!

[butterflybanana4hope]

[chris9531]

[kamilo2315]

[elpatochileno]

So so so beautiful!!!!....all the best from Santiago of Chile

[LOVELN70]

so absolutely beautiful!! these kids were all amazing performers and i enjoyed this so much! brought tears to my eyes!!!

[7skittlesful]

This is making me smile with tears in my eyes. Thank you so much. Mr. B you are an invaluable resource. Your obvious delight in teaching is reflected in the delight shown by the kids' heartfelt performance. Props.

[iwilli1169]

@7skittlesful He is making a lifetime positive impact on these kids. I hope other teachers are taking note and I hope the bar is being raised......

[berto671]

Awesome!!!

UMM AHH RAA!!!

Hafa Adai from Guam:)

[cricketjdw78]

I've really been going through something lately that I'm having a hard time getting past. I cried through this entire song. The innocence and sincerity from these kids really touched my heart. They all did such a great job. =)

[Kimberlyjkisinger]

@cricketjdw78 did u see how that one kid picked him up? TT it shows that they love him just as much as he loves them!!!! dont worry i cry on every video they have posted!!

[fuaim]

@cricketjdw78 i hope being involved in this great choir will help these kids have the bravery and sense to hang on to and show their sincerity in a world so many seem to think being cynical is the same as being smart. I'M SO GLAD I FOUND PS22 videos!!! love from Ireland.

[misstomrs]

This makes me cry happy tears.

[lluis1969]

Surprising day after day, thank you all from Catalonia!! You make my day.

[beefcakeplease]

what a tripper

[musicaltoby]

just kept playing 2:07 ! :')

[mfoof01]

tears of joy

[miket29]

This is one my favorite songs well done A+++++

[marcorubes]

chills

[tiquish]

You should be on Glee as guests. You are great!

[dimdepot]

Your interaction with the kids after the song end is sweet and fun but I'd like a "clear" version of the video. The feeling of the song is so peaceful and then the voices... LOL! Sorryyy!

[diegofferraz]

its perfect, iam fãn brazil!!!

brazil wuth u S2

[ekim222244]

OOOH RAAAAA RAAAAAAA!!!! WORD MR. B.!!!!!

[cocoswan]

is Kurria no longer in the choir?

[kristinmarie]

So when are you guys gonna get a CD on the way? Come on! I would totally listen to this while driving or play it for my kids in my daycare. It's beautiful.

[danzacraze]

Inspirational

[mixheadepic]

Thank you!!!! Made my day :)

[skate0for0life]

This kids are so amazing!! Plaease try Bellive in Magic by The Lovin' Spoonful i bet that would look amazing

[bonnielb2000]

As usual, you let everyone see your true colors. Hope your knee feels better. Still a great song, great arrangement, and great performance. Cindi Lauper remains a great performer. I saw her a few years ago in Manhattan & believe me, she hasn't lost it. She puts on a great show.  I hope that the kids know who they're emulating--a jewel.

[superfurryrobot]

what happen to the saprano with the yellow shirt and suspeners at the end

[TheGav67]

Lol, I think Cyndi herself would LOVE this version of her song... including the 'Ooh-rah-rah's' and the falling over each other in the aisle, the laughter etc.

[RsyJne86]

this should be the soundtrack to life!! AMAZING

[bluemamie]

God I love happy teachers.

[nednes001]

what i see is the hapiness in this kids while they singing.

[starblind1231]

FAVORITE. SONG. EVER!!!!!! IM SO GLAD YOU UPLOADED THIS! YOU SHOULD DO CYNDI LAUPER TIME AFTER TIME ALSO!

[3323bball]

Amazing, absolutely amazing

[kissame104]

The end is very cute & funny! I love it how the kids try to help Mr. B stand up, so sweet :)

[Bramborail]

Very nice

[trillium10]

the kids did a beautiful job singing this song... reminded me of the PS22 songs from a year or two (or three) ago. thanks Mr B

[jumerry]

How come I don't see Azaria in your videos anymore ? :(

[drmayeda1]

@jumerry

She's a student.  Maybe after Disneyland and the Oscar's she ran into problems with her third quarter grades?

[jumerry]

@drmayeda1 I hope not, it's to bad to stop singing because your grades aren't good enough ...

[drmayeda1]

@jumerry

Azaria is a STUDENT. Choir is an optional activity. Grades are the important thing NOT singing. ESPECIALLY in the fifth grade. Take it from me, What she learns now affects the rest of her life

[jumerry]

@drmayeda1 Of course grades are the important thing. I'm just saying: I hate it having a hard time at school, I don't wish it to anyone. Especially in fifth grade.

No need to get upset :)

[jwang604]

i cried.

[dman1137]

Where are they from?

[DanieVargas]

Absolutely beautiful!!

[cbarruet]

mi nuevo grupo favorito...my new favorite music group

When you gonna made an album???

Best wishes

[singtekisha]

you guys are amazingg

[Marinawings]

This music program is definitely letting these kids' true colors shine through. Listening to them sing and watching them get into the music never fails to give me chills. Brilliant!

[xkawaiinex]

which girl is signing? i think its the alto wearing the green and black near the back row. am i right?

[MystikRavyn]

@xkawaiinex No I was thinking of the girl in orange in the front left (left side of the screen not their left).

[eunicehohoho]

you guys are so talented :)

so much passion and so strong.

never stop! <3

[MystikRavyn]

I noticed a girl was signing the song. That is so cool! I <3 Cyndi Lauper and you did the song well.

[drmayeda1]

@MystikRavyn

ah good catch. I didn't really notice that because of the hand motions of the other kids. It blends in. She wasn't shown all the time so it must have been hard for those that read sign language.

[chicharito209]

@MystikRavyn I sign and I don't think any of the kids here were signing.. at least not American Sign Language which is what most people learn.. I saw a few signs but I think it was more of a coincidence than anyone actually knowing ASL

[drmayeda1]

@chicharito209

look around :21 that kid in the alto shirt third row second seat from the aisle

[chicharito209]

@drmayeda1 Im still pretty sure no one is signing :D

[psev]

so cute...the kid wearing a Halo:Reach" shirt is singing true colors!

[torichanM]

I don't know what I'll do when you guys have summer break.

[kaguesna]

hehehe love the kid who helps the teacher up ;)

[Amydixon08]

I love you guys!

[omgitisha1ey]

seriously where is Azaria?

[lillof]

@omgitisha1ey I asked myself the same. =/

[kazball]

How come all the ps22 videos have very little views and their so famous?

[Lynn536]

@kazball As of right now, this video is being featured through Perez Hilton's site, but because the video is displayed through some other player, I'm pretty sure the views don't count.

[drmayeda1]

@kazball

give it time. The video was only uploaded 5/31. it hasn't been 24 hours yet. They're famous but not THAT famous.

[kazball]

@drmayeda1 I've just always wondered. All their videos have very little views but their pretty famous having been on the Oscar's and singing with loads of celebrities

[drmayeda1]

@kazball

have you tried looking at ALL of their video's, the posts may go back as far as 2003 some clips get more play than others. One clip of the 2009?) class has 43,242 hits. I haven't research all their clips it would take too long. I think the total is over 10 million in total. The 2011 class still has some big numbers relatively speaking

one from the 2011 group posted around December is at 21.648 according to youtube

[phiiiiie]

Awesome as always guys :)

Kid in halo shirt, ftw! <3

[Knuffelke15]

its amazing !

[Milla1981]

I LOVE it! But WHERE is Azaria?

[amandarox808]

Nooooo!!! My favorite little girl isn't in PS22 anymore. :(

[SarahsAdventures]

Oooh love this song.  Great job!

[ladikara]

Amazing!



[Speedstackr97]

sweet

[deenzie1011]

What happened to Azaria??? I havent seen her in a few videos... Hoping everything is aright :/ She was soo amazingg... So much heart and soul in every song.

[feenixrising10]

One of my favorite songs...thanks for keeping it out there.

[BELIEVEinYOURSELFo0]

oh and the ending completely caught me off gaurd. loved all the ranting and ooo raa raaa's. too funny.

[drmayeda1]

@BELIEVEinYOURSELFo0

I wonder if that chanting OO rah rah had any connection to the song or cyndi lauper. Never saw Mr B act like that. We did get to hear Miss Lisa's voice. She might have been the one to make that comment about rain when the 2010 chorus sang with Celtic Woman in the classroom.

[BELIEVEinYOURSELFo0]

@drmayeda1 OH that is actually something to think about. I don't have the slighest clue. :P

[BELIEVEinYOURSELFo0]

honestly i dont think anyone could dislike this video. You guys are great and this kinda makes me teary eyed. Such incredible harmonies. God has blessed you all....that school....You. Thanks for sharing. It's exciting.

[GMRockstars1]

they are so amazing! I love that song

[jestx101]

awesome the little guy tried to help you up, class act by the young fella

[caja1111]

Made my day:-) lOve you guyS~ Xoxx~

[StephinOregon]

Pure light! LOVE LOVE LOVE the hope I see and hear within this song! Keep it up PS22.!!!

[krka9900]

omg this is incredible yall!! Way to go PS22!!! ROcked it out again!

[ivyypoo]

Beautiful.

[claralivefromcydonia]

Would give anything to have a music teacher like you

[kelia85]

The kids more and more harmonious each time they sing!!!! Keep up the good work.!!!

[SuperChristi123]

sooooo gooood

[TheLittlewing22]

UMM AHHHH RAAAAA! ....i agree

[kjfitzgerald593]

Such fine harmony on a great song! And one of the best ending scenes ever, even if it must have hurt your knee! Hope it is OK now!

[thenamesmikayla]

Tears in my eyes. All of you are SO phenomenal <3

[sara23517]

where is mohammed from?

[rettahb]

you guys always make me cry!!

[goodguy136]

The teacher is as goofy as the kids love it :)

[shonuffLA]

man i wish i had a teacher like you

[TheGav67]

@shonuffLA Even if you don't have a teacher like Mr B, I believe that there ARE other great, memorable teachers out there. They should teach them in college how to be like this... though for most, I think it's something you're born with, or sets you on fire. My kindergarten teacher was AWESOME, her name is Mrs Hope... and like her name, she has managed to plant a seed of hope inside me that never seems to die, no matter what life keeps trying to throw at me. Even after ALL these years.

[idoknowyouknow]

Hoo - Ra - Ra!!! :)

[catherinem2307]

always feel the 1st verse should be a solo............. but love this arrangement esp the harmony in the chorus

[jumerry]

It's about time !!! Love this :)

[alicecaplan]

where do u get all ur piano music

[Zendrig]

@alicecaplan "where do u get all ur piano music"

He usually doesn't use sheet music. Istead he's got a good musical ear and plays by rote.

[GREYHNDLOVER]

They did a great job. Love that song! Thought you might be down for the count - lol. 

[halhal721]

you probs wont read this well hopefully you will but anyway first, you guys are amazing and i wish there were more choirs like this magnificent one and 2, search halle wood on you tube and thats me EHH ehh well it would be awesome if you looked at it im a singer my self but your group is just fabulous <3

[roxytabbycoho]

Incredible!

[iloveyou66666696]

these kids are so amazing and talented!!! I love them!!! <3

[trinidad300]

One word: BEAUTIFUL!

[calcal789987]

u guys are AMAZING! thu8mp up if you think this too <3

[Zendrig]

One can tell that the 80's have been your most infuential decade. This song definitely fits the pattern. I'm glad you introduce the younger generation to classics like this one.

[alexajo7]

where has Azaria been?

[canimakeyousmile]

oh my gosh these kids are soooo talented, I could watch them all day. these songs brighten my day. many props to the director, you are doing such a wonderful thing for these kids and for the rest of the people around the world who get to hear their wonderful voices. :)

[misscreativegal]

I see your true talent shining through in this song... as always.

[siriacharmaineperez]

awesome!!

make more videos of DENISE singing! :) does she have her own youtube account? she should make one. ^___^

[SR120]

you guys are so amazing

[emmy144]

Do you rehearse the little dance moves? Or do the kids improve it on their own throughout the song?
