@BlackzSmoke. Stop equating ME with the problems. Stop suggesting that I should return what was stolen. I am a Colonial. As for the US gdp, You can't compare the gdp of 1836 with the gdp of 2003. It's a stupid comparison. As for the 60 years: What has Germany done, in the last 60 years, to recove...

@DanielR305 There is something that you don't know. Not many Brits do. The Government collects the money from all the estates owned by the crown. The Royal family (those who are on the "list") get back some money to finance their living and benevolent activities. The rest goes into the governm...

This is nonsense!

@pandaluvr22 You really don't understand this video at all, do you? Let me spell it out: See the happy carefree little girls having fun? Nothing sexy. Nothing provocative. Healthy little-girtl fun! See the little girls dressed in Pageant clothes? Very grown up! Very sexy! Very provocative! I...

Thank you! Thank you for your beautiful rendition of this prayer!

@melissa29315 The problem with little Andy here is that he has not yet found, or been taught to locate his treble voice. He sings in his "talking" voice, which is what boys generally do, until they find their treble. Since it is now 2 years later that I am writing this, I'd like to know what And...

@mtenor Must point out here that the men, like the boys, are "just passing through". The great college choirs, like the cathedral choirs, were once dominated by men of the town who could become lodged in a choir for 60 years. Those days have gone, and the men are all students. It may be the firs...

@HotPinkBrightOrange reminds me of 1950s brassieres. I wasn't actually old enough to wear on in the 1950s, thank God, because they did look rather alarming!

This young man really hasn't done his homework! Apart from getting Wills and Kate's title wrong he refers to the Duchess of Cornwall as "Camilla parker-Bowles". Do you think he hasn't noticed that she has remarried?

@xcarmox I don't want to hear Joey "shouting" or singing rock. I want to hear him singing Opera. The difference between Jimmy and Joey is that Jimmy's voice is right for rock, and Joey's voice is right for opera.... It's in a different class, but he has never realised it. Regardless of the voi...

Wow!

@OrganistsVoice While you are right that this is, in a sense, a one-day-a-year carol, it is so very popular that it cannot be reserved for just the midnight service of Christmas Eve. Everyone wants the pleasure of singing this carol, and Carol Services do not always coincide with Christmas Eve....

@Ryodisis Yes, he has a lovely voice! But these young men are not professional singers. They are all students at Cambridge. For this reason, the whole personnel of the choir turns over regularly, the men, as well as the boys. Few of them become recording artists. My suggestion is that you run ...

@JWcountrysound09 My favourite painting of the Magi is by James Tissot. I think it is his greatest work. it is in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. You can Google it at Magi Tissot Wikimedia Commons. I don't know how to attach a link.

@yesitsme1149 Your comments really make me smile! As a child, I always wanted to sing the solo in Once in Royal David's City. It didn't happen until I was adult! One of my sons did it at 7, and the other one at 12. None of us was perfect, but the "oldies" loved it just the same!

then sentence about the Red Cross Diamond being "a gift to the art sale....by Christies" is total nonsense and comes from a bad cut'n'paste that should have bee corrected. The PROCEEDS were a gift to the Red Cross and St John's, NOT to Christie's Art Auction. Can you fix this meaningless sentence?

@HerbicidalManiac I once discussed with Aled (as an adult) the possibility of him singing countertenor. He indicated that he was thinking of going in that direction. I'm really disappointed that he didn't, because I thought that he had already learned a lot of the technique that it was going t...

@MandyJMaddison On second thoughts, since the single wasn't released until nearly three years after the film, it is possible that the reason Aled recorded it was that Peter Auty's voice had broken.

Oh no! Pleeease don't sing "fert" on the end of "Comfort"!

Priddy girl, priddy voice, dreadful diction! "Drifty nova ricy mountns". Jackie's teacher needs to get on top of her tendency to blunt all her consonants and blur her words.

Wow!

@BelRiose2000, I've just had second thoughts about this. Someone on IMDb ("Love Actually" talk page) asked why Liam Neeson's character referred to his little English stepson (who had just lost his mother) as "You poor Motherless Mongrel". The answer was "Probably because he's Irish." My father...

@REV16665 Thank you! Not everybody does, by a long shot. :)

@Biot94 Yes, it exists in English. I mentioned a "direct English translation". See below.

I enjoyed your performance, and it is obvious that the audience loved it!

This is wonderful! I want to push the "Like" button a dozen times. I love the enthusiasm with which these lads sing!
