Queen Latifah & Common, soon to appear together in JUST WRIGHT, were awesome enough to take the time to meet us at MSR Studios in Manhattan, where we got to jam with them on Queen's song, "Champion!" It was an amazing gathering of phenomenal musical champions indeed, and big thanks to our two guests, John Maybee, and FOX for arranging this high energy get together!

These kids are awesome here they sang with oscar & grammy winner queen latifah and oscar and grammy winning rapper common what a honor it must've been.

[@laurencopenhaver5366]

Well they picked a really meaningful song for the kids to sing. There's a lot of power and energy and love in that room

[@lil22]

If Queen Latifah would have visited my class when I was in the 3rd grade, she would have gotten the same response. I'm almost 30. Classic. Respect.

[@Paddypaws47]

Don't you just love there teacher , he gives these children SO much encouragement and values what they say making them feel so special.

[@kathykatinahat]

The acappella parts gave me chills. This was amazing!

[@mercylago4744]

Awww! They were so appreciative! So beautiful to see them so elated, so lit up and enjoy themselves. This is what life's about! I know Common and Queen Latifah were touched.

[@kudabeen]

This would and should be a dope recording. Great message and pops...

[@Tech264]

I love these kids...So glad to see them in a studio. Hope to hear them in a track one day.

[@debbieomi]

It is evident that this school and its families have got it going on. What wonderful sentiments from the kids and to articulate them so well...at fifth grade! LOVE the performance!

[@73Kachemba]

This is why Music programs should never be taken out of our schools!!

[@MsIslandHoney]

This video made me cry! I salute every effort from the director to the kids.. especially the kids and of course my girl QUEEN & the fine young man COMMON! The children are our future and what we invest in them today paves the way the world turns tommorow!! And a special cheers for celebs like Latifah & Common for pouring into these kids lives and hope more celebs follow. It doesn't only take money but time and presence as well!!

[@bonnielb2000]

OMG!! That was phenomenal. The Queen was fabulous, the kids were in their element with harmonies that were right on the money, and Common is the sweetest kindest man ever! The kids did work hard & it certainly did pay off. The messages of both Queen Latifah, Common, and the children were so on target. What a thrill to be a part of this awesome performance. Kudos to Ms. Lisa for her beyond superlative video. WOW!! Love & hugs, Mr. & Mrs. B.

[@SicaDeero]

[@faegrrrl]

Man, I wish we had songs & instructors like that back when I was in school in the 70's. I really think my self-esteem would be healthier. Or at least I'd HAVE a self-esteem. I just want to hug all these sweet lil' babies!! They're so precious!

[@juliavilla8088]

Beautiful, to hear love come out of these sweetheart's voice's.

[@stars288]

Queen Latifah i love ya

[@brazil2583]

Dude man, you guys r so freaking lucky!!! The people you have sang and the things you have accomplished, make you a great choir!!!

[@homegrown345]

Mr. B, you are not only a teacher you are a mentor!!! There is a need for more people like you who bring out the best in each child, you are not there to just do a "job" and you can see that you love what you do. You inspire, motivate, encourage, and bring out the best in the children. Continue to plant the seeds in each and every child that crosses your path, you are there for a reason. My God continue to bless you!!! Simply AhhhhMAZING!!!!

[@melanie.subbertsubbert4767]

[@kschoeck]

MR B- you are the champion! These kids sounds amazing! Such an awesome collabo with Latifa and Common!

[@aznfrog18]

Loved this video! What a special treat for both PS22 and the artists!

[@RedHorseAdventures]

In my opinion this song truly epitomizes this chorus and their teacher, Mr. B. To watch this video gives me goosebumps, you can feel the excitement by both the artists and chorus. You make me proud to be a Staten Islander! Bless all of you and thank you for bringing some sunshine especially with all the snow we've been having! YOU ARE ALL CHAMPIONS!

[@lps-storieswithbabycakes1304]

I love the singing

[@rellynewby]

to the music teacher - you are AMAZING for doing this with these children. as an alum of many choruses i can tell you but i'm sure you already know what music does to enrich the lives of those who allow it to. your students have the opportunity to know such joy because of all the energy and joy you invest - and clearly it is being recognized!! (and by my fav too- queen's been a role model of mine for a while) keep up the great work kiddos!!!

[@wieldwords]

Be it 9 or 99, this song is forever applicable. Thanks for reminding me, Mr. B and PS 22. :)

[@jonkap123]

great!

[@RheAnn51]

@MsIslandHoney I agree! Today, as I'm thinking about Dr. King & about the people of NOLA & the Gulf region affected by Katrina 5 years ago, I cry while watching this. It gives me hope that there is a generation coming who won't govern their world through hate, fear, blame, denial, & separateness... Good teachers, good music, good families, good role models... There's a lot of good & a lot of good to be had. I *hope* for the best for all of us, & I won't give up on that. Let's make it happen! :)

[@jgnyg08]

loving the staten island fist pumps!!! yeah boi!!!!!!

[@TheMusicVisionary]

So dope

[@ceorlov]
