San Diego Gay Men's Chorus

[USAdude30]

Euw there gay.

[baggerbokaie]

@chipbrown 321, wow chip I was making a comment on how great the choir was and just passing on that I do not agree with gayness and here you are pushing right back. Obviously you forget that this country was founded on CHRISTIAN beliefs by CHRISTIAN men. You need to understand that procreation HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE between a MAN and a WOMEN. I am not a gay hater. Yet the biological fact still remains. Two men or two women cannot procreate and thus are NOT A NATURAL COUPLE.

[RocknMike]

@baggerbokaie Uhm. According to you, sterile couples and elderly couples who haven't had kids are unnatural? Yeah okay. It's okay to be a gay hater. But everyone deserves equal rights, whether you are gay, straight, bi, or trans gendered. They will live their lives, you can live yours. Gay couples have had children of their own on others ways besides adoption. Obviously, not with both of their DNA. But we live in the 21st century. America is the land of the free, not the land of the straights.

[CertifiedGooner729]

Fags.

[brandeezy108]

people booed at first then cheered at the end. the voice of a hundred gay angels. i'm not gay but these guys can sing!

[buddmar]

@gingerlycolors Do you mean "Jerusalem" by Parry? It's a gorgeous, glorious song I agree. I love it. However it only mentions "England" and if I was a Briton of Scots, Welsh or some other persuasion it might not be the best choice for the UK's National Anthem. Furthermore, it is a Christian hymn, and it might not inspire affection from members of the Jewish community or any other non-Christian British group.

[Dillonfromforks]

Fuckin Faggots burn in HELL

[baggerbokaie]

I am a Christian and do not approve of gay anything, yet I must give this choir its dues as they were most magnificent. As long as a gay individual is not pushing their beliefs on me and or my country then I don't care what you are. The main thing here is that if there were two choirs on record how could anyone tell they were gay and dispute the greatness of the performance

[chipbrown321]

@baggerbokaie Christian as well as other religions push their beliefs. All gay people ever wanted was not to be burnt at the stake by religions like the one you hold so dear to your heart. Please don't push your prehistoric ideas and please, the next time a gay person is in your presence, try very hard not to bash their skull in the name of some fictional god.

[Thibeauld]

Wow great job! Brought tears to my eyes and gave me goose bumps. Thanks for this posting!

[blainmeador]

do this at an astros game.... well lets just say it wont be pleasnt.

[drjdancerguy78]

@blainmeador what exactly did they "do" aside from stand together and sing a BEAUTIFUL version of the Star Spangled Banner before an AMERICAN pasttime? You are clearly ignorant and have not couth, my friend. I've hear HACKS sing at ball games and are applauded and welcomed with open arms... Why not artists like these men? Join the 21st century... noone's afraid of you anymore. AWESOME JOB GUYS!

[Gulfporter]

ISn't gay men's chorus redundant?

[geo289]

@Gulfporter lol

[cwood4ever]

OMG imagine if they had a strait men's choir. PROTESTS PROTESTS PROTESTS

[TLCTugger]

Idiot, anyone can sing with the GMC.

[thumbtackthief]

@TLCTugger True story. I'm with the NYC GMC, and we have two women. No straight men that I know have auditioned, but they'd be welcome to!

[mdbmdbmvc]

Very well done - many thanks for posting!

[carabandunga]

lol!!!

[tab46619]

*standing ovation*

[king7wood]

Hey this is pretty cool! Better than that awful time Roseanne mangled it...

[thetwinkiemiami]

WOW that was GREAT!

[eastwick1026]

dude grow up its not our fault we were blessed with the musical ability go spread your negativity somewhere eles.

[AngeloStrong88]

what is happening to our country....

[dougalina123]

What do you mean? To "whose" country? I hope you mean a country where we're all supposed to be free from oppression of any kind!

These men are very gifted with musical talent...I appreciate them for sharing their gifts.

Great version of this anthem!

[robi57412]

...what? what's that supposed to mean?! :S

[kidrebel20002000]

It's getting better, THAT is what is happening mate.

[jusitke07]

Alright, LET'S PLAY BALL....no pundt intended.

[LAWAGO]

balls!

[Mamasan41]

BRAVO!!!!!

[poosaypirate]

gay men sing better.

[72ve17]

Love it that was superb --- you should make a recording music ....

[thoulie]

The music may be British, but the anthem's American through and through. You have to be British to know quite how turgid 'God save the Queen' actually is! On the rare occasions that we win a gold at the Olympics, the anthem's over before our competitor has adjusted the medal around their neck.

[ZdPhoenix]

I actually rather like our anthem, though I seem to be in a minority. It's short, easy to sing to, and it has an air of nobility.

Unfortunately it's about God and the queen, two subjects upon which Brits are indifferent at best.

I LOVE the American anthem though, the tune is so unusual in how it dips and the ascends ... I love hearing it.

[mykadia]

I've always felt a little unhappy God Save the Queen it's one of Canada's two anthems. Because if Britons are indifferent to the Queen, what are Canadians? I play it at public events never have I seen more than 1/10 of the audience sing along.

[ZdPhoenix]

Britons aren't that bothered about God either, but we still do ok with the anthem, because I don't think a lot of people really think about it in a literal context.

[1980calgrad]

@ZdPhoenix "The tar Spangled Banner" is based on an old English drinking song: "To Anacreon In Heaven"

[MasterMark123]

That was wonderful boys !!! love from an ex Boston chorus Man here xoxox

[MasterBetaNYC]

goosebumps!

[TK21060]

That's a hell of a national anthem, sung in a way that made this Brit's eyes go moist! I do envy Americans their wonderful anthem - I wish we had one as good as that.

[COMALiteJ]

Well, actually, the music IS British. The Anacreonic Song (aka "To Anacreon in Heaven"), to be precise.

The lyrics are, of course, from Francis Scott Key's poem, "The Defense of Fort McHenry."

[scion57]

*standing ovation*

[ZdPhoenix]

That's pretty amazing, both aurally and symbolically.

[julesbait]

And THAT, my friends, is how the National Anthem is SUPPOSED to be done!

*applause*

[cvgdan]

Amen to that! I used to be with the Cincinnati Mens Chorus. This was beautiful.

Stand Proud, Say it Loud and BE PROUD!

[MRMATTX2]

that was amazing.

[VanderBlue]

Very good

[wade01976]

It is shameful to post such statements such as those, which run contrary to the freedom and liberty on which this country is based, on a video of an excellent rendition of the national anthem.

[moneyjr1122]

WoW, they had a amazing voices

[moneyjr1122]

srry i mean they have amazing voices

[TheJollyReprobate]

It's nice to here someone singing this with some dignity for a change. I get so tired of hearing pop singers using this song as an excuse to show off their vocal technique.

[SUNSNARE06]

or lack thereof

[imafrogg]

any one got a problem with it I woudl love to talk and hear your view point give my cell a call 1-630-973-3691 names scott

[chevychase]

That was EASILY the best rendition of America's national anthem I have ever heard at a game! Bravo!!

[COMALiteJ]

Chevychase, not quite the BEST anthem at a game (that would be the Cactus Cuties — look them up here on YouTube™), but very, very good indeed.

[SanDiegoRulz]

This Is The Only Day I Didnt Go To The Padres Game! =/

I Was Protesting With Da Homies =]

[mochaman15]

and what were you protesting? the singing of our National Anthem? The arrangement? Or are you so bold as to actually say out loud that you don't like gays? for this you miss a game? You are pretty shallow!!!!!!!!!! And not pretty at all!

[ieguy3]

Funny, I'm old enough to remember when the "homies" weren't allowed into the games at all. Glad there's been a LOT of changes since I was a boy

[kidrebel20002000]

That said it all my friend.

[johninalameda]

What an asinine comment. Finally someone with some tolerance and you show why some people are the way they are.

[yougogirl2007]

Allan, I'm SO PROUD OF YOU!! Your friends at Breg are envious of your exciting life. Keep it up!!

[skyteman]

WOW! I think that's the best I've ever heard our national anthem (a difficult piece of music at best.) BRAVO!

[swbell3]

Please accept my sincere apology as a born-again Christian for the ignorant and hateful words of some of my "brethren." Please know that many of us love you right where you are at, and do not differentiate between people based on their orientation.

That has to be one of the most moving renditions of the Star-Spangled Banner that I have ever heard. I was filled with pride for America. Many thanks to the Men's Chorus for standing up to foolishness and performing.

Scott

[GOPeagle]

How can anyone hate that? Except maybe a pig with a black heart.

[truthhurt]

I felt so proud as well. After watching the stupid narrow-minded protestors outside, seeing the overwhelmingly positive reaction of the crowd, I felt like we are sailing on the right direction.

[normanrey]

Forget Whitney Houston!

[mito1970]

I'm so proud of my chorus siblings... made me cry

Luv you guys
