Would you sing "This is my country, land of my birth" and "It's not that easy being green"? There is an incredible a cappella arrangement for "It's not easy being green".. really good.
woah. these are 5th graders?!?! they are AMAZING! im in 8th grade and my chorus doesnt sound nearly that good! of course, my chorus teacher is always telling my class about these 5th graders and they actually open their mouths when they sing so that sound really beautiful and amazing. these are some really talented kids(:
Some serious goosebumps going on while I watch this...I love how the boys are just as much into it as the girls, the expressions on their faces are priceless! I read about your group in the paper this morning and I'm so glad I tuned in! Kudos from Toronto, Canada!
omgoodness! I love this song. The joy in these children's faces make me so enlighted! It gives me goosebumps! Absolutely amazing. Keep the music going!
I'm at a loss for words watching this.... It's absolutely incredible. What you've done with these kids is just..... Epic to say the least. They look like they really enjoy everything about singing and about your class, and understand the true meaning of music. These kids and you have an amazing life ahead of you based on what you've started doing here.
It would be so cool if the kids sang Run by Snow Patrol and also covered by Leona Lewis. That is such a gorgeous song. These kids are so talented. Every time I hear them sing, it brings tears to my eyes. What an inspiring teacher!!
PS22 and Gregg, you will never be the same nor will any of us who heard your beautiful voices and beautiful faces and incredible energy. I'm old and I hope the last thing I hear on earth is your sweet, soul-moving voices. The world can be changed for the better with the simple voices of gorgeous children like you and a man who inspires them to sing with their hearts not just their lovely voices. What an incredible blessing and wild HOPE you've brought us.
Was at the Fleetwood Mac concert last night when Stevie Nicks mentioned these kids. Absolutely beautiful. Hope some of the young women grow up to sing with me in Sweet Adelines!
She came out and dedicated the song to them. Said how lucky she was to be able to hear them perform for her earlier in the day and how proud and touched she was by their total involvement in their performance. She said they made her cry. The woman sitting next to me told me about this video. I've already shared it with my entire chorus. Keep making beautiful music with these beautiful children!
awesome, thanks for letting me know! we wanted to stay for the show, but it would have been too late a night for the kid-lings. also appreciate your kindness about the chorus!! :)
Saw you guys on Good Morning america before i went to school myself, and i watch so many of your breath taking videos. You and your Teacher truely are gifted and i hope you guys continue with your work! Truely a blessing!
You kids sing so beautiful! Like... angels in the auditorium. Props to ABC Nightline for pointing out Mr. B's youtube videos of the PS22 Chorus group. I wish you all the best after you graduate this year and pray that public school funding at ALL grade school levels will be recognized by the NY school board.
I would buy any cd that these children make. YOu are an amazing teacher! This is what should be going on all over!!!! Send this to Joel Klein and Gov. Patterson. Never cut music funding!!!!
You all are absolutely incredible. You blend well and the tone is just impeccable. You really have a great talent and a wonderful group. Very inspirational. From one singer to another, you are just absolutely amazing.
A friend posted a link to one of the other songs your choir did and I just realized that I've been listening to your choir sing for the past hour. What an absolutely amazing job these kids are doing and you with them. They must all be so proud! Keep up the good work!
From what I heard, when she saw the video of these kids singing "Landslide," she cried and then invited them to Fleetwood Mac's July 11 show at Madison Square Garden.
IMHO I prefer the a capella rendition of "Landslide". These children have been taught something very special. I am touched! A hug and a kiss to each precious child, and 2 for you! EXCELLENT!
I like the a'capella version better - with the songs the chorus have done using keyboards or guitar the instrument tends to drown out the amazing harmonies these kids generate. Well done everybody.
boy, I could think of somw great songs these kids could do. you should seriously do a poll of you tube fans as to what these kids should do next-what I poinent example of the need to maintain the arts in school.
simply wonderful. I had a rough day...a rough week. what a great way to put life into perspective. one of my favorite songs by my favorite artist. thank you.
unfortunately our school is THE largest elementary school on staten island, so there's no way to take everyone. there is an audition process, and it's what i consider to be a necessary evil.... (however all the kids do get a music education with a choral component that's involved.)
wow, with a large student population and what must be an increasing number of students eagerly wanting to be in the group, the selection process must be tough...
Wow. I enjoyed both this a capella rendition and the other with Mr. B on guitar, but I must admit this one tugged hard at my heartstrings. The timing and the harmonies are so wonderful! These kids will ALWAYS remember this experience and I think it'll give them something they'll carry forever. THIS is what people are for.
That was beautiful. These videos are brilliant. I love seeing everyone's expressions and gestures. They are all singing from the heart hardcore! A number of pro singers could take a few pages from these marvelous artists
I love this song! These kids are absolutley BRILLIANT. They are very inspiring. Tell them please that they always make our day, and when we watch them, we can't stop smiling!
wow!!! it's a toss up for which is better... acoustic guitar or a capella! I love how strong the kids voices are on this-- sopranos are tight on this!
