"Say Something" A Great Big World ft. PS22 Chorus

[@karenhenderson4843]

These kids' lives will forever be affected in a positive way by this music teacher.

[@brianburdette6730]

Say what you will, but I love seeing the kids and how they are FEELING the music. They're not just singing it because it's a song or because they're in chorus. Just look at them sway, close their eyes, etc. God I hope my kids grow up to appreciate music like this. ANY music, regardless of genre.

[@yesenialuna6574]

Brilliantly said:)

[@trixesatelier]

EXACTLY.

[@1970brenz]

Agree!! I just wrote that somewhere else, they're so sweet and real. I prefer them on their own more than the duets with original singers. Though this one is very nice! With most of them the 'star's' energy comes across as being about them which kind of ruins the buzz. LOL.

[@SueMoseley]

I've watched a few of these videos now and I've got to say the teacher is phenomenal. If only all teachers had such passion and commitment to excellence. These kids will remember him for the rest of their lives, I'm sure. It's lovely to see kids so engaged and singing with such expression.

[@SkinoGeekin]

Great speech -claps-

[@mrspokitstheriot477]

Agreed. Knowing the school has probably lost a lot of funding for chorus, to see them STILL posting these videos restores some hope. The logistics and hoops theve had to jump through to just be able to post these videos, and for them to continue to jump through these hoops shows their dedication to this program. Also it's got to help engage the kids and make them excited. Anything that gets kids excited for any school that doesnt injure anyone is a win. Also it doesnt seem to just be a show. This teacher seem to know their stuff and has found a way to teach young children these things, in a way they can understand, which will help the health and longevity of their voice (not just in regards to singing, but speaking). Teaching vocal technique is not the easiest. Even adults struggle with it (kindof like algebra. A lot of people dont get it until all of a sudden it clicks and they have that ah ha moment) and it's something you can overcomplicate when trying to explain. But it's quite obvious these kids are learning not just how to read music and key and pitch and chest voice vs head voice vs mix, but they also seem to be taught the mechanics of it, which is important when it comes to things like support vs strain. Just bravo.

[@shellyedmonds9264]

Love ❤️❤️❤️

[@nancycarroll4845]

I Agree these teachers are fantastic!

[@francescacastiglione7094]

Will always remember my music teachers in grade school, JH, and HS.

[@alisongunther6486]

Kudos to the director. He obviously has passion

[@guadalupefestival]

This takes a whole new meaning sung by children. So many have parents walk out, leave or worse. As a teacher, I see that heartbreak. Tears. This song is so much more than what I originally thought. God help the children abandoned, lost, and crying out for help.

[@tomooms1167]

These are some of the best reasons to keep music programs alive in schools... Good on you.

[@JustBeKind1]

The soloist did a great job. She seemed so humble, the way she shyly looked down after singing.

[@MrMassageluver]

She was GREAT!

[@juliannagragg8400]

the girl soloist did such a good job. and everyone else. its so cute.

[@LaviniaMoala93]

Fifth Harmony brought me here and I'm so glad bc these angels somehow made me shed tears just listening to them sing :') I can honestly say I'm a huge fan of them now!

9 years later. I so want to know where this little girl, now a lady, is now? She always caught my eye. Hope her dreams are coming true. ❤

[@Callie2cosplay]

I'm in 3rd grade we are doing a choir I love this song 😘💕💕

[@jojomojo292]

Chad looks so cute and awkward sitting with the kids. This is so cool and adorable.

[@lisaalan1]

These give the chills. The kids are amazing and their music teacher is a genius! Bravo

[@SusanScrapPassion]

I went to PS 22 50 years ago. The auditorium looks like it has not changed a bit, and the wooden seats are the same. It is so nice to see what good work is going on with the children there today. Great job!

[@anthonycardinali6228]

+SoundersFCFan AHAHAHAHAHAHAA

[@GoldenPathProduction]

+SoundersFCFan actually, the chorus was founded in 2000, the school itself was built for MANY MANY years before

[@katiegoddard89]

this is so beautiful. coming from the mouths of kids, the song makes me think about all the hardships at home, with peers, and in life in general that young people have to face far before they're ready to.

[@egomaniac247]

So sad. i heard someone a few years ago say that kids today have to make decisions at a younger age than we did.....heck they have to make decisions we NEVER had to make.

[@LizViar]

The emotion that the kids put into it is mesmerizing. You look at most choruses today and the kids just don't care because they have to take it for credits or something unless its like a show choir. The fact that these kids are in 5th grade is amazing. Great job.

[@yasirabozaid7105]

i dont know why every time i listen to those guys my tears drop up :((((((

[@brigidoherty]

yasser abozaid I tear up at season 7 ep 1 of the walking dead

[@no-one-no-one]

Just wonderful❤ what a teacher, brings out the best in those talented children

[@iman.2828]

Amazing 2020 I'm watching and I'm very emotional

[@michellenorris8590]

So good,xx

[@stefanistojanovska4523]

It's unbelievable with how much emotion they sing... I love them

[@mocchakiss23]

as I watch this video..it makes me think about all those kids in Aleppo and around the world affected by armed conflict and abuse....they deserve so much more....to be happy, to be loved.. and most specially the right to life...I wonder when that awful war will end.....

[@balletbonnie01]

These children have been through a lot you can see from their beautiful sad faces. It makes me think of Aleppo too and yes around the world. God BLESS THEM all

[@audreycole6811]

It is so beautiful. Love viewing these videos.

[@ClaudyArfaras]

Gorgeous.... The Best rendition of the song I have ever heard... Thank you...

[@stevenmiller3918]

How could 63 people not like this? Nothing but heart and soul put into this song. Beautiful

[@ThomasPBlack]

What an anomaly.. on so many wonderful levels. These dudes will have good karma all the way to their stairway into heaven.. if nothing else, I am a fan, simply because they devoted their attention to the future of America. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before with any other artists. Very cool. God Bless

[@alisongunther6486]

Why didn't they become a bigger deal than they are?! ❤

[@drgolfjim]

Incredible. I couldn't stop the tears.

[@sigvr4]

Who keeps chopping onions in here. Dammit, now have to dry my keyboard off.

[@collinnc2001]

Jun Villanueva I don’t know... but after watching them do I’m gonna love you through it I need a new keyboard

[@charmedprince]

@@collinnc2001 i just watched that video and i can't

[@mairjones6437]

Wow these kids are amazing. They're young adults now I wonder what they doing maybe still singing maybe thanks for the video😊👍👍👍👍

[@alyssamcmillan5898]

This is wonderful! You can see they truly love what they're doing. Props to the teachers they're doing it right

[@hustlinc3540]

When I was growing up , music was always treated as something shameful to be involved in. I became a musician but I really never felt acceptance from the surrounding I was growing up in. Even my family was judgemental about it. It's so beautiful to see kids loving and doing music. Go go go!

[@kpaxil4516]

This was beautiful and heart-wrenching 2020 keeps bringing me back and forth to melancholy songs and crying things out but I'm telling you, these kids made my day

[@AztecRay]

Music is a wonderful thing. Too see all these kids put they're emotions in this song. School districts need to put this back in curriculum.

[@corbytucker]

I liked this song, I found it pleasant, then I hear this version and suddenly I find the song amazing an powerful. Thank you PS22 Chorus

[@virginiavickers5812]

These babies are breath-taking!

[@LourdesM3934]

July 2022 ... who's here watching? where are they now, how they've been?

[@eve79evelien79]

It makes me cry over and over… wow amazing those kids… ❤️🥰🥹

[@FluffyUnicornAsian]

Woooo! Never heard of PS22 until this video. Wow!

[@urbtexture]

KUDOS to the instructor of the PS22 Chorus for instilling an amazing love of lyrics and music to these students… they actually feel the music and commit totally to it!!

[@kiritaylor6140]

Absolutely beautiful all the songs are amazing sending love from England

[@AkasaWolfSong]

Listening to the voices of Angels here....

[@darlenemartin788]

INCREDIBLE...the emotions that the children convey!! Along with the beautiful music!

[@lisaduran3718]

This chorus is unbelievably fantastic!

[@blaithinlynch6189]

Goosebumps every single time I've watched this.....and I've watched this video a lot. Flipping fantastic.

[@BlairT79]

the passion from the kids loving it.. can't believe just found this choir

[@eileenbaran7040]

Shame to all that put thumbs down. You should be so lucky that your children's school music teacher had a his much passion and get these children noticed by music stars

[@georgepollastri7701]

So beautiful, as soon as I see a cd/dvd in the shop I will very gladly buy !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE ALL OF THEM Sovery talented.

[@collinnc2001]

George Pollastri they need to make something cd/dvd this is beyond beautiful

[@cybercroneCA]

These kids are so, so lucky to have a teacher who can not only teach them music but who is able to pick songs that the kids can relate to and that may help them process some of the angst of later years. I just love to listen to them.

[@ryry6123]

This reminds me of when my cat passed. It gets me crying every time. It gets better, but you'll never forget the pain:(

[@AnimaSola3o4]

This one had so much more power than the other version! It blew me away! Perfect.

[@yak55x]

This is the right way to teach music.

[@TheDistar10]

Beautiful! So much emotion. Mr. B brings out the best in the children.

[@ClaudyArfaras]

[@davidsailo5790]

[@MrJd354]

I have to say this song is new to me,even though it's been out for a while...these children did an AMAZING JOB! watch the video for this song it's very touching....

[@those1kidds]

sooooo awesome. What a cool dude to do this with the kids. They will never forget this.

[@sarmadasco]

All kids need to experience this feeling or succeeding through the Arts. Bravo to PS22…..in my hometown…New York City! When I see something like this, then read an article how another, yet another music, art, etc…program is being pulled for lack of funding, solely because it doesn't bring in the money like sports do (also important but neither more so or less than, the Arts), I become so saddened. Look at the emotion these kids had when singing this song, boys and girls. Some even seemed to be signing the song, but that may have been them, emoting. Politicians, from Federal to State to County to Local and the Board of Education MUST remember and be educated about the arts. It is NOT frivolous. Learning about music helps kids with math, spelling, science, calculus, physics, algebra (in a big way. Indeed, if I didn't know how to read music, I think I would have failed algebra but I did know how to read music and through algebra, change 3/4 time into 1/4 time and the like). The Arts are always the first to be cut, but personally, I think it it equally if not more, important than many of the 'RRR' courses. I mean, they keep handwriting courses, but cut the Arts when in the end, we all write as our brains dictate us to write, regardless of what is written on those "A, B, C" placards that were in every class I was ever in…up near the ceiling…! Again, Bravo '22' and A Great Big World for bringing them music, culture, (it is a great sing, by the way) and inspiration, of course.

[@artist45]

I wish ALL schools would have a music program like this. Music adds SO much to a child's life. It helps them learn and it's a skill they'll adore all their lives. Kudos to this teacher for teaching the kids relevant songs...songs they hear on the computer and radio. And I have to add...they're REALLY GOOD!
