I remember watching this series when I was in my early teens and how nice it was to see how far the guy singing solo at 59 secs had come. A talented boy who initially was too cool for this choir stuff but the teacher won him round eventually and I hope the lad looks back on this with fond memories

[@realmixxo]

That transition from Stand By Me to beautiful girls was cleannnn

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Gareth is a brilliant arranger... And these kids really pulled it off. 🖤

[@scouseprovo]

The world seems a brighter place with this vid..thanks for posting.

[@vrs07]

There is AMAZING talent in the kid at 1:25. I wish they would have let him belt out that perfect note in a solo.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Absolutely! I bet he'd have hit it gloriously...

Loved it, but the tempo was a lil too fast

The only way they could mash the songs together properly was to a fast tempo otherwise it would’ve sounded weird

時々繰り返して見てます。 心の中がジンワリと温かくなります。 ギャレット先生は今も音楽の指導をなさっておられるでしょうか。 あの頃少年だった彼らは元気でしょうか。 とてもいい番組でした。 またNHKで放送されないかな。

[@vikas200611130]

This is such a wonderful piece.. So many different caste, creed, religion, region... all united under one roof... MUSIC.... !!!!

[@JuliaGulia1684]

I can only imagine how very nervous they all were. What an exciting time in all of their lives. I can't get the song out of my head. Well done all of you. Forgive me for forgetting the young man who was chosen as second, he was magnificent. I enjoyed the show and the singing. It is nice to be the one NOT having to sing in front of thousands of people. As a parent, I am very proud of ALL the choir boys and know they will never forget the moment they were on the stage in the Royal Albert Hall.

[@Thebjdcafe]

I really like what Gareth is doing! Those boys makes such beautiful music

[@murdothescottie]

How can anyone dislike anything that Gareth Malone does? He is a genius and a gentleman and Britain should hold him up as an inspiration for what music can do!

[@xXPurpleLoliTranceXx]

“You’re way too beautiful, that’s why you have me girl, you have me-“ Kids: “S U I C I D A L”

This episode came out yesterday here in the states and I have to say this was by far the best transformation in a school. These boys were so good in the amount of time they had to prepare and I cried at the end because of the power of music. It is just amazing how music can change lives! I love this show! The other choir that he formed to co-ed on was alright, these boys were so much more talented

That was a nice lil mash up. Sean Kingston's song threw me off guard tho, then I immediately looked at the title again and saw "beautiful girls". I thought it was only "stand by me". This had to be recommended to me because the last video I watched was "beautiful girls" by Sean Kingston, with lyrics. Nice job choir 👏🏽🥰🤩😍😘 when the little boy said "damn" I was like oh ish, I hope they aren't singing in a church 😳😆🔥🔥
