[@51hankyspanky7]

Couldn't say it better myself!

[@GypsyInFenra]

i'm imagining carly rae and jesus in this and all the angels singing in the background. it sounds so nutty and glorious. XD

[@theletterwynn]

GypsyInFenra That's funny, because there is such thing is God "calling" people to him. XD

[@martincicchino1228]

One of my absolute favorite pieces of music as only they can perform it. Thank you. (This couldn't have been viewed only 2.9 million times. I think I have viewed it at least a million times myself.)

[@IrKeNoVa]

God has this song on his iPod

[@daniellanissen7350]

Don't you mean mp3 player?

[@IrKeNoVa]

Daniella Nissen noup. iPods still existed back there

[@jenniferklonoski]

iPhone

[@Alexander-ih2ru]

iPod to iPhone11 pro max or pixel 5 or note 20 ultra

[@4dultw1thj0b]

Oh my gosh this is beautiful. I love it whenever people do these kind of renditions of pop songs! They feel so much richer and fuller and just... breathtaking.

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

Same!!!!

[@gidmichigan1765]

R.I.P ear phone listeners. 3:02

[@Shoinie]

Gideon Mour hahaha thanks

[@HavannaAnna89]

+Gideon Mour Hahahaha How funny :D Just thought the same.

[@TheSoftballstar1261]

+Gideon Mour HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

[@juliee.3737]

Haha 😂😂

[@tearstoneactual9773]

It's not tone, or pitch. It's the volume. Bout blew my headphones off.

[@AlexSamm]

I've actually lost count of how many times I've watched this

[@apnqmgqpagq]

spectacular!!!!! it could make the younger generation appreciate orchestral music more....and a bridge to the older generation to like modern pop music...good job...

[@Natznatzification]

3:01 I can't looooool!!!!!!

[@icarus7198]

Everyone in the comments are cowards who are too afraid to admit that the original Call Me Maybe was an absolute goddamn bop

[@brody_zzz]

facts, one of the best main stream pop songs of the past ~8 years

[@raitosureya]

I feel like someone needs to be vocalizing in Latin in the background

[@MrSuperme666]

3:02 *Alright! Alright! I'll call you later goddamit, jeez.*

[@averyperry7234]

lol

[@adimaurya02]

lmao man

[@dan292009]

Does Not Compute 😂

[@Umioko]

This is...seriously amazing! I got chills several times! Really nice and unique take on the song. Thank you for the privilege of your voices and instruments - they were just breath-taking together!

[@DrumUltimA]

i can't believe this is still the most viewed youtube video I've ever been in

[@josephzawodny]

very cute and well done. MrDiablolord, I've been a teacher for 35+ years and I NEVER get tired of hearing young people do great innovative things. You are such a grumpy old man, I'll bet.

[@betpower1]

Of all the versions of this song, this is the ultimate eargasm! What makes this song so sexy is the contrast and quick interchange between the high soprano voices and the low alto voices combined with amazing staccato percussion. Bravo!!

[@Mooimapony]

i just stared god in the eyes and they stared back and that gods name is carly rae jepsen

[@isabellayodice8699]

me when i saw her in cinderella :)

[@hatofflab]

It's surprising how popular music, in a less popular rendition, can be so much better!

[@icarus7198]

Hat off lab Especially weird since Call Me Maybe was, objectively, the best song in existence until she released E•MO•TION

[@Santanacarballo]

WOW! is like seen a cute playfull child become a full grown beautiful adult! The pop version will never be the same after listening to this one!

[@michaelsix9684]

such a lovely, inspiring, and moving group of people doing this as volunteers, they could tour the world and sell out easily

[@titusbjorn2456]

I suddenly feel like there needs to be a musical centered around this. Like maybe a modern take of Mama Mia?

[@tammyhuang472]

OMG it sounds like im gonna make a call to the heaven

[@jojoflap]

Man, this brings back memories of early 2010's. A whole lot has happened in the past 8 years, both great and not so great. r.i.p. Carly Rae Jepsen, may you be singing among the angels for an eternity.

[@benRandomProductions]

I showed this video to my dad. He thought it was beautiful. I then proceeded to tell him that it was Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe". His jaw dropped.

[@BranTarik]

Every time i listen to this Version of the Song, it kills me...

[@noelcharles7787]

the best cover ever keeeeeeeeeep it up

[@jenniferklonoski]

Thank you God for this Glorious song

[@Commentinirator]

I never actually thought that a song like this could make me feel goosebumps... Guess what... This video proved me wrong.

[@MichaelSmith-jw8qw]

terrific act, wish they'd do concerts--uplifting and inspiring people

[@DontHoldYourChops]

I was hoping they would do more after AGT :(

[@RezkyFebrinando]

is there any studio/clean version of this in mp3??

[@LeoHwzrChannel]

I remember seeing this on tv then forgetting to look it up online for like a month until i heard the original version as an ear worm at work last night. Then it clicked in me finally to look this up

[@hmartin3100]

everyone who is dissing this just stop. this video is awesome. and the lead trombonist is my elementry school band teacher and hes the coolest person ive ever met and will ever meet in my whole life so just shut your face. and if you still hate this video they performed it live on the today show.

[@NamHoang-pi7ej]

3:01 peak :))

[@NastyFIFA]

Lol the afro guy is my old viola teacher ha

[@Maikurshi]

REALLY? it makes me happy your a viola XD

[@marisaricky9453]

Man... who knew a pop song could turn into a gospel song like THAT.

[@yobs17]

Arianne Guingona Abela .. a Filipina .. you made us proud .. Mabuhay !

[@daciagonzalez3438]

Better than the original.

[@Amar7605]

I dunno… but hearing the phrase 'Ripped jeans' in a choir performance doesn't feel right.

[@colleenm4031]

After all these years I still love this.

[@heathermalcolm175]

cannot express how happy this made me

[@Rover08]

It seems that someone should rewrite the lyrics to match the grandness of the music and chorus. Great stuff.

[@Sliverbane]

This brings me to tears. Reminds me of the years spend in Choir during my HS years.

[@iemsdo]

music is heavenly when played by an orchestra, congrats!

[@jewishsinger613]

Can't get enough of this orchestrated genius! It's amazing and hilarious at the same time!

[@ferfullmoon]

And this's show how superb of the bravers who brave giving their phone numbers to the crushes.

[@sharlynst]

Nothing less than beautiful!!!!! Great job Colin Britt....you are a genius! (I am originally from Boston, Mass....cultural hub of America)

[@nerueru5756]

The world really needs some more choral covers! SPECTACULAR!!!

[@robhildebrandt7801]

Brilliant...spinal goose bumps...thank you for sharing your incredible talents

[@greencherrybutterfly]

CLOAN BRITT. You're a genius! May God bless you :)

[@cinemonger1270]

It's funny and wonderful at the same time, miss these days

[@Kroz71393]

This is truly incredible! The interlocking finesse within the group is simply outstanding! I love how a cheesy pop number was turned into an enjoyable orchestral piece!

[@BattleslashX]

Lol this was in my favorites playlist, almost 10 years, nice

[@nbw47]

No man has ever been that badass whilst playing a triangle.

[@mustacegirlaj9665]

our teacher showed us this audition earlier saying that he knows some of you guys! mr SP for the win!!

[@Foxdenrider]

you hear this gorgeous, angelic choir- then you hear the lyrics -.-

[@jordynpino]

My English teacher showed this to my class. Amazing!

[@javonroper4524]

This is the best cover I saw off this song yet

[@gwenjoy1414]

Listen to 2:44 and here how high those sapronos go! Man, if my school choir did something like that, I would be jumping up and down with excitement! Great job, guys!!!

[@phillyharp]

I think people should stop putting down people who are just having fun for your benefit. You didn't have to pay anything to watch the video, and they did it in one day.

[@ripstikmadster13]

FYI! I'm friends with one of the altos (the only guy alto there is: His name is Derek) I saw him last night at choir and he told us he was gonna be on the today show! I flipped out! Good on you guys!!!!!!!

[@raidingmastuh7631]

This is much better than the original song, I could listen to this all day.

[@dittybagmanjohn]

This, in a way takes me back to a night during my freshman college year when I was heavily involved in a live FM radio broadcast in the San Francisco Bay Area of Puccini's Suor Angelica Opera. It was a collaboration of the San Francisco Opera and Merritt College Orchestra musicians It was attended by an audience of well over 3,000. Microphones were EVERYWHERE. It's a night I can NEVER forget! Not enough room to explain what I did besides being one of the violinists.

[@13eun]

never thought that call me maybe would be played by choir n orchestra I like it!

[@DarianBTaylor]

Brilliant, brilliant! I love their exaggerated looks of intense seriousness. It makes it.

[@sharlynst]

Put some earphones on to get the full effect of this piece! Beautiful!

[@mamadukes2]

Singing this with the 3Penny Chorus and Orchestra in now #1 on MY bucket list! Love it!

[@barryglad608]

A friend suggested that I check this out. I have no regrets. This is different, catchy, creative, and refreshing. Absolutely amazing!

[@irvinightmare]

queen of orchestra music

[@user-mv2ug5rv6u]

Впервые услышал в 2018, сейчас 2021 год. Супер по прежнему

[@kimoesha]

This MAAAAAAAAAAD! no lie......It is amazing what an orchestra can do.

[@kirankaur5010]

THE TENORS AT 3:19... I LOVE THEM

[@aggamyo5593]

I found this while looking up online for my English project and this really motivated me. Its really well organised and deserves a lot of attention.

[@carmenruiz1995]

Now this is music at its best!!

[@jenniferklonoski]

Thank you for your service to your Queen Your King and Yale 💜

[@melissacaitlin2016]

Honestly, the best part of this whole video is the straight faces on everybody.

[@dtmtung]

This is a fantastic arrangement. Well done! My favourite rendition of this song yet!

[@XaoTIKn]

Easily the best rendition of Call me Maybe that I have ever heard, after all I can actually stand this. Nay! I even like it!

[@Owyourhurtingme]

Love the steady crescendo through the song!!

[@AnnapurnaMoffatt]

Now THIS is music! Bravo!

[@Commentinirator]

Now... where's that replay button?

[@JordanGrimmer]

That was bloody amazing.

[@acin_grayson]

The only version of this song i like seriously though this is gorgeous! gave me goosebumps

[@pvpfan123]

i could listen to this all day long :)

[@darkroselight]

This never gets old.

[@smtarahan]

That was awesome!!! I wouldn't mind sitting & watching your shows for hours on end. Please don't mind the negative comments.

[@lloydadurivea8242]

Got chills listening to this!

[@slowstars8167]

this is such a bop and i love it

[@yukinojigoku]

amazing!!! ♡~ the music is magestic, i'm criying!!!

[@LoreyD]

I love this video more every time I watch it.

[@gmansp77]

[@fakename7028]

I love this so much you don't even know

[@abailabel]

I just love this arrangement from start to finish!

[@abdalachabayta6895]

That was shockingly beautiful...

[@michaelsix9684]

amazing group, so well trained and talented, truly a joy to watch

[@StevenLepore]

When I saw you guys performing this on AGT I got so offended at first. I didn't immediately realize it was you guys performing it on the show and I thought someone stole the entire piece from you and was getting a ton if notoriety for it. Then I realized it was all of you and I was so proud you made it onto AGT

[@maikelhaz]

!This is obviously the best version

[@EccentricKait]

Gave me shivers. Amazing job!

[@kamlloyd3551]

Just rewatched. So awesome. Love it!

[@lolalafnegal]

love it when the second verse starts

[@Lizzydawwg]

I laughed, I cried, it moved me!
