ABSOLUTELY AMAZING... and all Bloomberg wants to do is cut , cut and cut programs in NYC. This is just an example of what the kids all over NYC and the rest of the United States are capable of doing. Mayor Bloomberg iF you continue to decimate NYC schools with your budget cuts, there will be no one to teach these bright and talented kids. Rememberthat the best way to fight a recession is to raise the education level of our future... CUTS only hurt them.

@splashydash - PS22 is more then just a choir, I would even go as far as to say that quite a few people madly in love with PS22 are not at all into choir music - I know one who would not entertain even visiting your Drakensberg Boys for sheer lack of interest - me. There is no need to overextend on the underpriviledged public school in NYC either... You are simply missing the point about PS22..and that makes you in my humble opinion a very sad person. I feel really sorry for you.

@sconoglio ..... :-)

@splashydash no your error isn't about not being "American and therefore red-blooded patriotic" your error is you are an elitist twit. You dis a bunch of 10 years old rather you want to admit it or not. Taking a once in a lifetime moment and disregarding the performance is a "dis" and you did it to promote another chorus. You could have simply clicked on one of the hundreds of links, went to another PS22 video and asked others to check out your favorite chorus but choose this venue.

@sconoglio I guess you didn't notice the reply I made to @nomdesouris, 4 months ago. I really didn't mean to "dis" them, as you put it; I just came across them, without knowing their background, and commented that their performance is not really very "awsome", musically, as some people said. However, having been informed, by @nomdesouris, of their background, I'm happy to agree (as I said below) that it is a good effort. I guess my error is not being American and therefore red-blooded patriotic

@splashydash Before posting your dis of a bunch of ten year old students understand they are from a public school in an inner city district. Not the handpicked voices of a city, state or country. What these kids do is remarkable in that they practice twice a week at school and it's the 5th grade choir so they only spend a year in the choir then a new group is chosen. Sure you could have directed people to your favorite choir without dissing another.

Yarg I am crying.

i like this but I liked the AUTOTUNE the same way.

[splashydash]

@nomdesouris Yes, I do agree that they are pretty good for a bunch of kids with no special training. I was just surprised to hear them at the Oscars and was counteracting the breathless "awesomes" and so on. I didn't mean to disparage them; I was really recommending the Drakensberg Boys' Choir, especially their African tribal songs, for terrific singing by 9 - 15 year-olds. But they are a choir school with first-class choir-masters, so of course it's no contest.

I'll certainly check the others.
