The PS22 Chorus of 2011 has been on a fantastic roll of great performances lately, and this might top them all with the kids' absolutely gorgeous cover of Tori Amos's "Pretty Good Year!" And it certainly has been...
How about third grader Alicea belting out that solo?! You can rest assured you'll be hearing more from her....
In anticipation of Tori's new album, NIGHT OF THE HUNTERS coming soon!
Thanks to Mr. Eberle for playing along on the guitar, and of course to Ms. Lisa for filming!

I literally don't know what came first..goose bumps or tears of joy. Amazing!

[@alwaysgh2]

[@lisamariestube]

WHAATTT ps22 Does a song from one of my very few IDOLS?!?!?!?! Chills. Tears. wow. YOu took me back. Thank you so much.

[@l0gically]

Pretty good year indeed. You've touched a lot of people in a lot of ways.

[@jwthrussell8786]

Ow hear the nostalgia! Alecia turns it up. Stirring as usual. Lovely PS22

[@Zendrig]

@lisamariestube You know, it's not the first time the chorus has sung a Tori Amos song. In fact they sang at least eighteen others. In reverse order: "Star of Wonder", "A Silent Night With You", "A Winter's Carol", "Flavor", "Gold Dust", "1000 Oceans", "Flying Dutchman", "Father's Son", "Dragon", "Bouncing Off Clouds", "Ode to my Clothes", "Happy Worker", "Purple People", "Not the Red Baron", "Cornflake Girl", "Winter", "Carbon", and "Twinkle". Quite a few gems among these...

The little sweetie is growing up. Good time to start preparing for her future solos. Her voice remains amazing. This is a great song for the almost end of a most fabulous year. Very fitting. Great arrangement as always.

[@erinmbo]

OH MY GOD Alicea is incredible!! I keep listening to her solo over and over again, she's insanely talented!

[@maddy3056]

Wow, it seems like just yesterday it was the first day of the school year! How time flies and how amazingly far they've all come-thanks to you! :D Thank you for sharing their (and your) talents with us. Much appreciated.

[@Zendrig]

This was not a "pretty good" year... It was a ridiculously glorious joyride made of chocolate, win and gold!

[@Sim0Na18]

I like that they sing all kind of songs; pop, rock, alternative... great job to the teacher! not only they sing well but they are well educated. I love when they sing Tori Amos songs :) Have you done Precious Things or Winter?

[@Zendrig]

@Vince1648 Alicea is gonna be in 4th grade next year, so we might have to wait a little longer for her. If you'd like a preview of the 2012 chorus, search for "PS22 4th grade Run Run Rudolph"

[@tarabrown7717]

Anyone found more songs like this one from the early 1990s sung by kids

[@Zendrig]

@Zendrig ... forgot to add the recent favorite "Snow Angel"

[@Zendrig]

@Sim0Na18 They have done Winter.

[@Zendrig]

@lisamariestube You seemed surprised so I figured you probably didn't know that they covered Tori before. Why else would you use this: "?!?!?!?!" ? ;-)

[@jumerry]

Aliceaaaa :D I hope she's gonna be in the chorus next year since you tend to accept really-very-talented 4th graders ... :)

[@gabrielmendez3312]

Can you please cover Caught A Lite Sneeze?

[@dims030]

oh and lol she has all her teeth what a sweetie!

[@sickofwaitingtables]
