Ysgol Glanaethwy: Circle of Life - Last Choir Standing - BBC

[@busterozzie]

oh man, My wife passed away this year.. look i tell ya she loved lion king and this was one of her favourite songs... played at her funeral and I started crying Listening to this, it made me happy but It sounded so good. I wish I had come across this earlier to show her we loved looking at things like this.. Miss you em 1987-2010 rip.

[@CEJ-sr6ok]

I really like them and their arrangement of the song. I've been watching this clip on and off for yrs.

[@ASimpleGirl3000]

I love Ysgol Glanaethwy, they should have won. i think there amazing every time i here them sing i get goosbumps.

[@CreateCliches]

This is actually the best choral performance I've seen of this so far. It's the chest voice that makes the difference. Sure, you can have pretty harmonies but without the power behind your voice you just don't get the right feeling. I don't think I saw a single black person in this choir and yet the spirit of Africa could definitely be heard.

[@ilovemarilyn2012]

brought tears to my eyes, goosebumps on my arms, and a smile to my face (: great choir!

[@lizzieb79]

Wow, what a passionate rendition of an outstanding arrangement!

[@tomatocars]

Excellent mix of voices, excellent soloists, excellent energy. How did this choir not win?!?

[@TheKarlez]

Wow they are great, just a beautiful sound, beautiful outfits too!! I love how they're not all the same.. but so different and stylish at the same time! Brillant! Also I love their expressions and energy through the whole song.. I'm completely at awe.. they are amazing!

[@teeejaaay1]

why this choir never won the show is beyond me! they are spectacular :-)

[@popazz1]

Why oh why have the BBC not recommisioned this fantastic contest?! The whole series was an absolute joy to view & one of the few rare gems from the Beeb which I actually re-arranged my diary for in order not to miss it.Come on,'Aunty',earn your exorbitent licence fee & bring this back.

[@PsYkO_munta]

Absolutely awesome, very talented and should have won the comp, the female singer that sings the main part is really gorgeous

[@Mahgwa]

For some reason this video and song just makes me smile, and for a moment I think there is hope for mankind.

[@jonasweichert367]

absolutly amazing! wish there were more choires like this one. best performance ive ever seen!

[@TheKarlez]

Wow this is soo good... Always gives me chill bumps listening to them. Wouldn't it be amazing to be part of that??

[@1207doc]

they're the best choir in the competition, hands down!!

[@KFN_VII]

Performances and songs such as this will allow you to win this. The competition is yours to lose!

[@Solstaro]

These guys are brilliant and deserve to be in the final as do the other two choirs. I can't wait for Saturday and whatever happens, there better be a CD from Cor Glanaethwy soon. Good luck to Glanaethwy and I hope they win, they've done themselves proud.

[@ozuniamh]

Eveytie I watch this I cry-isn't it great to see young people using thei God given talent

[@cat3max]

I definitely agree about Mr. 1:12. Totally the talk of the town out west here in San Jose, California

[@H3LL0815]

gospel is the best music. since i joined my gospelchoir at home i like this music more than every other kind of music. this choir is the better one than the boychoir, who won the final...:)

[@lionhearte1]

A very very good choir!! Looking forward to their first concert on the 30th!!

[@floxiekibuta]

best versions i've heard.. they are really good..

[@619kalo]

amazing, all i have to say and i love the soloist

[@Honeymixwealth]

Wow, I love this choir!!! and I love the way they performed this song!! I'm actually going to see the lion king in the theatre for my birthday. It's a shame the choir didn't win, they must release an album!! xxx :)

[@hydropete1948]

@countryqueen77 She was singing from the start but the microphone wasn't turned on ! The words missed were " From the..." then the mike picked up " day we arrive on this planet...." when it was turned on so it was the production teams cock-up !

[@busterozzie]

im its tough almost a year now, and im very reflective right this stage, i guess just realising how young and how sudden it all was will never get ov er that pain, but thank the people that make music like this, i dunno what ild do if i culdnt sing at work all day to stuff that makes ya feel a bit better. just wish there was an answer for things though, where how who .. theres just no answers. @TheNorthernseeker

[@CRASHBANDICOOTW]

[@kinzerly]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! I love that song!

[@02wlander]

This is such an unusual arangement. I remember my school choir performing a Lion King medley a few years ago.

[@Misisfi]

Beautifully and sensitively sung - especially considering the pressure that they were under! (Pagent Queen has chosen an apt epitaph for herself!)

[@joeyboi1]

you should win, we all want you to win here in Flintshire!!

[@derekmarvelley2015]

Great Welch singing a great tradition enjoyed.

[@monnakaable]

thay are the first english speaking choir that prounounced every word of the opening correctly big ups

[@TheTintin95]

this song is so amazing the solo girl sings sooo beautifull and it has a lot of beautifull girls :-) WOOOW SO AMAZING!!!! just beautifull

[@MaffiaAnh]

OH,,,,i was in this school,they are the best ever, i had the best expiriences,i got to performe at the Albert Hall wen i was 8 and 12! how amazing! i left because it was too hard, i got ill because of it :/.but i really miss it,the atmosphere there is amazing!!

[@BrooksMelissa]

i cant stop listening

[@ingridanneletrondo9231]

try watching Circle of life- Madrigal singers. they were siting while singing it,they even make animal sounds in the background.

[@theeasyma]

this is awesome!!! i also looked at some other videos of your choir, you're amazing! greets from austria =)

[@hollyandersonsmusic3226]

Love this. 2019

[@cameraman1971]

These guys were just pipped at the post by Only Men Aloud. Only Men Aloud won the competition with the final song, which was amazing.

[@Floontrumpet]

nice arrangement... I love it.

[@FriPilot]

If you've done your research, you know that YG is essentially an extra curricular performing arts program. what they do is the choir. They're damned good! However, ACM is a multi disciplined school. Those kids are singers, guitarists, bass players, horn players etc who do the choir in their "spare" time. Given the time that the ACM kids have to devote to the choir in addition to their normal studies, I think they're marvelous! Fri

[@teeejaaay1]

this choir are amazing, they so should have won

[@tinkslvzstacey1]

the mic wasnt turned on for her solo part....!!she is an amazing singer!! :)

[@cloudbusting.heights]

the first girl solo is AWESOME!

[@Ex0P0l1t1c5]

Woah, this is awesome. Great choirs there.

[@Koenigskind21]

Amazing it touched me whit a unique special way...

[@JurgaSpurga]

wooooow.... beautiful choir... beautiful people... :) respect :) 0:07 cuuuute :) Mua :)

[@San64]

Please, please,please,please PLEASE...bring back this show! It was such a close call at the end. I LOVED ( and still do) ACM...all the way..but have to say..this last one...gave me goosebumps... There has just been a huge male chior on BGT called Only Boys Aloud...and got through..is it the same choir as in this show?..if so how come ACM don't audition for BGT now. It's been some years since this show..so why not eh?

[@tinkslvzstacey1]

such a shame that the soloists..meinir.. mic was not turned on at the beginning!! Dal ati Meins.. Saprano and is in a band called 'The Sirens' :) saw you on Cyfle Cothi 'fyd....Wooooooow....amazing x

[@beachfrontal]

I liked it and then I was honest to myself and then I thought to myself wait something just didn't work this time. Nope they had a good try but NO NO NO. It's the first arrangement of their choir leader that didn't bowl me over. Love the new larger choir they have really come on since they appeared on this programme. Their recent Hallelujia is to die for.

[@TCt83067695]

They're still a choir?

[@christophersanabria3757]

0:13 - The African lady is like "This is my shit right here"...

[@123malichi]

She’s British

[@ceasexfire10x9x8]

This gives me chills :)

[@effelinqa92]

I love this song!!! :)

[@TheJhan14]

@busterozzie im ten and i am sorry to hear tis may she rest in peace

[@BlueSmoothie4Eva]

AWESOME ALL!!

[@0425mia]

beautiful thank you thak you

[@nonwatcyn]

You do us proud!

[@anlindale]

Try watching the Philippine Madrigal Singers "Circle of Life" Version. They totally blew the minds of the Europeans in the Choral Grand Prix.

[@muyiwamat]

Let's not forget they are a bunch of Welsh guys. I'm an African but I would never expect them to get the African chants. I think they did well

[@finamausi]

wow it is great i love it very mutch

[@vicktwc]

amazing!!! lv this chor much!!! =)

[@dariiik]

this is LOVE

[@pijeechu]

i absolutely love them ^^ i was rotting for them to go through.

[@LeiaSkywalker1990]

just beautiful

[@popazz1]

@spirithunter121 , You raise an interesting point.Considering how tv seems to have been 'dumbed-down' with numerous mind-numbingly dull reality shows it'd be,or seem to be,sensible to retain such a popular show.And ironic given that,in essence,LCS is a reality show,tho' far superior to Cowell's X-Factor or BGT.But yes,perhaps if they moved it to outside of London they may reconsider.The success of Military Wives Choir may spur the Beeb into action,who knows?

[@TheNorthernseeker]

@busterozzie It is beautiful - how is it going for you - it's been 4 years for me and I'm still sad when I hear stuff I know he would have loved ---

[@Johndhorvath]

Why can't we have a show like this in the US...!!!!!

[@spider23000]

Lyrics for opening line: "hear me now the penguin in the parlour"

[@fleebub]

Aw, I love the conductor haha

[@MaffiaAnh]

@monnakaable Plus their welsh, which makes it more amazzing!! X)

[@tinkslvzstacey1]

@xxxxxLittleMiss The mic was not turned on in time, was delayed!!

[@4FabBEATLES]

this is a song from the Lion King- I love the music and the song!

[@montyxxrlzxx4eva]

ACM i would say were AWESOME but idk, theres something about these guys - they just have this energy about them!!

[@vheejannify]

Wait until you hear The Philippine Madrigal Singers version of this song. They are the two-time grand champion in Grand Prix Chorale Competition.

[@tinkslvzstacey1]

loving this :)

[@Kathl2207]

Great. Very Great

[@danm01926]

Love this! Does anyone know where i can get the same backing track that is used here? or similar? for a show choir?

[@Emily007Sweet]

DO THIS EVERYBODY, IT'S WORTH OF TAKING A LOOK!

[@cdlaing]

I think there's a fair point to be said for Ysgol going through for variety. That said, ACM are an outstanding choir at what they do - Gospel (although I love Revelation, I'd say ACM are better) If you want showpieces, OMA are your choir, but for absolute versatility there is no other choir in the competition that could do the variety of songs that Ysgol have done. The problem with this contest is there is no such thing as a "standard" choir - they're all fantastic choirs in different ways...

[@jirarachofmine]

I like the phrase on the saphire sky.

[@densilb]

In my eyes this was a shambles.

[@Althreefive92]

wow amazing!!!

[@jantherussellfan]

fantastic

[@therightkeygospelchoirsaal3859]

Sehr schöne Darbietung - wir singen den Song auch, hört doch mal rein bei "The Right Key Gospel Choir Saalfeld".

[@sumfan93]

I like this.

[@Honeymixwealth]

Yes I would!!!

[@kingzhachary]

some of the videos on the playlist cant be played here in Narnia..:-(

[@Aresu30]

AMazing!!!

[@dee4him2006]

awesome!

[@MatttPink]

yea hahah shes wellllllllllll into it!!

[@rzwodzwo90]

AMAZING :) VERY GOOG :)!!!!!!

[@123nutterbutter]

That was amazing. How old is this group???? So impresive.

[@Serphaet]

@monnakaable Hahaha, that's so true, I thought I was going to throw up when our choir did it. It sounded like they were saying "In the valley I'm named gala." It was quite a long standing joke.

[@123malichi]

Glee haven't a patch on these fantastic guys!

[@kimmusicas]

Someone in 2021 🎸✅

[@rosson1983]

Totally murdered a great song
