what are you guys going on about? Maybe they just didn't like the song? they're not the fucking antichrist just because their musical tastes differ from yours... chill your tits bro.

[iKadaj]

oh, come on, people. the 130+ dislikers just thought the graphics/visual effects were cheesy and couldn't understand a word these people are saying/singing. you're not evil just because you dislike a youtube video. not everyone likes the same kind of stuff, and youtube gave them a button to push if they don't like it so they pushed it.

An amazing project! Eric's really got a connection with the youthful singers. Much better that the original score with the Frost would have been. Great job, Charles! Want to work on MY music???

We just tackled this amazing piece of music in my choir. It turned out well considering that we're about 1/100th the size of this choir. :)

OMG! The Messiah is here!. This is the closest we can ever get to world peace! Thousands of voices from all over the world unite in this heavenly choir singing harmonies and music so glorious... this is the closest we get to HEAVEN. Ever! Eric you are amazing. Hats off to you. This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard!

its been a long time since i cried tears of actual joy :)

there are no words

[youngswedishking]

it would be near impossible to do that. i see where you are coming from, but everyone recorded their parts differently and so it would be impossible to time every single video to perfection. since it's so many, that's why you hear the dissonance and the dipthongs in the piece.

Ahhh, listening to this and watching the somewhat cloudy sky, so breathtaking and inspiring.

[Jan Knold]

This piece just moves me, more than just about anything..

I'm jus chopping onions here..

I understand this is 2,000+ videos put together, but you would think, the timing would be right. there's a lot of "scragglies", as my choir teacher called them. Some people didn't cut their s's off when they should. it almost sounds messy. \: But it's still beautiful, nonetheless.
