I'm watching this 14 years after it was first posted and am wondering what has happened to all of this very talented young people?

[@melancholicmedicine]

I have no end of respect for multi-linguistics who can snap between languages that well. And their singing was AMAZING

[@hans-peterbrugger8963]

They blow the audience (+ everybody else) away...💛🖤 What a performance

[@revpgesqredux]

performances like this have raised everyone's standards and joy. Go Wales!

[@Alyda251]

Out of all the songs I have heard, this is the only song I can not get enough of, I can literally listen to this song for all eternity, it is perfect

[@Authorgirl2]

Finally a choir that sings the original. I remember my primary school choir, it didn't even seem like the song, it was changed so much. You are awesome!

[@MrSpacecrazy2010]

This choir in my opinion was clearly the best that year and should have won the competition.

[@deniseshephard3347]

This choir is very special every time the Welsh sing they sing with such passion shivers go up and down my spine

[@markmorgans4606]

Please BBC bring back 'Last Choir Standing.' Glanaethwy - you are amazing !

[@PatrickDeruytter1]

It was the twinnings male choir who brought this song to my city and now we picked up this marvelous song in our choir here in Belgium. I am eagerly waiting for the applause this will provoke when we'll perform this on stage later on.

[@philzone77]

I am Welsh, and living away from home. I was moved to tears to listen to this version. Come on Glanaethwy, we love you! Superb performances, every one!

[@brittetietje]

Just amazing how beautifull this is, I love this kind of music and choirs.

[@xGeeTee]

I'm proud to say that I was a part of their Junior Choir :) and I actually know those people.

[@gragoe]

xGeeTee I so hope they went on to work in a musical/theatrical industry

[@cat3max]

Gan mai rhythm y ddawns ydi rhythm y gwaed, mae'n rhoi asbri yn y galon mae'n rhoi ynni yn y traed. Rhythm yn y galon, rhythm ar y stryd, gan mai rhythm y ddawns ydi rhythm y gwaed. It is such a pity that this song appears on neither of the published CDs containing songs by Ysgol Glanaethwy. It is outstanding and has captured my heart despite my woeful ignorance of the Welsh language. Glorious, glorious, glorious!

[@allyjohnson646]

Absolute wow. This choir master is seriously the best ever

[@jjkendo]

OUT OF THIS world was not expecting the different language! its ace! i love it!

[@dee8722]

I completly forgot about this show! We're from Aus and loved it so much! Im so happy I stumbled across this video!

[@tonoh09]

absolutely love this version..definately the best choir in it! the conductor looks hilarious at 13 seconds

[@outoflove]

cymru am byth! best song ever!

[@xmusicalmaniax]

i love it how they sing some in welsh, it sounds amazing even tho i cnt understand lol i hope they win xxx

[@0oCIARAo]

I love the sound of Welsh! I hope to learn some someday, I'm fluent in Irish and I am going to learn Scots-Gaelic next year, next step Welsh!

[@musclepunched]

Did you manage it

[@bengarrionphoenix4207]

Dal ati xx🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

[@surge1927]

Still get goose bumps when they start singing in Welsh, love it!

[@conimag]

[@0425mia]

Awesome choir amazing clap clap

[@theatrebeau55]

I absolutely LOVE this.......come on BBC One let's have another series, I bet Ysgol Glanaethwy have another set of pupils that can sing too.........

[@MsPatagonian]

theatrebeau55 funny thing is my son is part of glanaewthy and they had a concert the other day and they sang this song and to be fair they were much better worth watching theyre doing a uk tour if ur intrested search it on google it might come up

[@penfro]

Bendigedig! Marvellous!

[@francerobert58]

I love this choir. Congratulations.

[@Malanrea]

We sang this every year when I was in middle school. I love how you all sang this.

[@tinkslvzstacey1]

[@jonfarrugia6907]

absolutely bloody brilliant. xx

[@groovinggirlie]

this is my favourite performance of the whole series =D

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Excellent performances from Ysgol Glanaethwy and their brilliant choirmaster; love that they sang some parts in Welsh :o)

[@deniseshephard3347]

Wasnt all of ot sung in welsh

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@deniseshephard3347 No, it wasn't. They toggle back and forth: 0:00 - 0:26 is in English 0:27 - 1:06 is in Welsh 1:07 - 1:26 is in English 1:27 - 1:45 is in Welsh 1:46 - 1:54 is in English

[@melbabes13]

I'm English but I love it when they sing in Welsh - it sounds so good!!!

[@HskHeroReborn]

This is the best rendition of the song I have ever heard

[@TheGriesheimers]

What I would really love to know is how the judges reacted to this performance. I love it, but I know they were "warned" during the castings about singing in Welsh. But.... seeing as the final two standing were from Wales.... maybe singing in Welsh ain't such a bad idea!

[@123malichi]

Loved this choir! Love this song from Sweet charity.Going to see the show in London in two weeks.Cant wait!

[@garinaji3199]

AMAZING song, this thing is just give me goosebumps , GOSH their amazing!!

[@zxdfty77]

Wow! Spot on!! I haven't heard that song for 35 years when we sang it in our high school jazz choir...and it's been rolling around in my mind ever since! It is from the Broadway hit, "Sweet Charity". Very well done!!

[@TheEarlos99]

Very Very Very Very good! enjoyed that, what a beautiful language you guys sing in

[@flee5772]

Absolutely love this. It's the best version of the song I've heard. :)

[@BreretonGirls]

oh my god i love this song and this group wicked !!!

[@violetmaggiemae3]

Beautiful thank you

[@Ex0P0l1t1c5]

Even though I couldn't understand a word, it gave me goosebumps. Really really really liked it.

[@MarijaTravels]

When Welsh speak, it already sounds like a music. And when they sing... WHOA.

[@wkaibigan]

I am Welsh and this is my opinion of the language. When Welsh people speak Welsh, it, to me, sounds awful yet, when they sing, now that is something special. I can listen to Calon Lan and, even if I don't understand the words, I feel the emotion.

[@llwyde1104]

[@rubenhumanes2137]

no me canso de verlo ..impresionante .version

[@Verderer]

@LauraJeannieJimenez Of course it is a different language! This school choir is from Wales and part of the lyric is being sung in their native UK language - Welsh. In parts of Wales, especially in the west and north, where this choir is based - in Bangor, North Wales - Welsh is widely spoken & is the main day-to-day means of communication, but of course every Welsh person speaks English fluently as, like in the rest of the UK, English is the official language of Cymru (that's Wales in Welsh).

[@nicovankampen7239]

we sing this song as male choir in tht Netherlands name of the choir is AMK Con Amore, when we sing this song we have a lot of fun.

[@Sherburngal]

One of favourite songs done on last choir standing, Wish that it was available to buy somewhere. Amazing Choir

[@choirbassbari]

two faces throughout express "oh my this is really hard and i need to nail my part perfectly oh my oh my". yes that arrangement sound incredibly difficult but oh my it sounds like so much fun and it was great!

[@mermaidgirl88]

Wow. LOVE IT !

[@kluseczka007]

what can I say? AWESOME!!! I love them!!! :)

[@lildevil11]

Woah, I felt chills down my spine! Such great singing (:

[@MaffiaAnh]

@Bleumange i went to this school an he is not shite!! he is amazing and so is his wife! they gave me the best oppurtunitys in life,,i got to performe at the Albert Hall wen i was 8 and 12! how amaing is that! i left becuase it was too much with my GCSE's and evrything but it is amzing ther!!

[@Iditarod]

If you don't win, it will be a traversty of justice. I've watched this song multiple times, and still can't see why you were put in last two.

[@lizharley5723]

Loved the performance. So much energy.

[@TheEmmz79]

[@mangojuise]

I love this song

[@teeejaaay1]

this choir are amazing

[@Saakar10]

When I sung this in English for choir last year it was completely different lyrics... Intro wuz like this I was walking down the street last Sunday feelin mighty low and kinda mean, suddenly a voice said go forth neighbor spread the picture on the wider screen. And the voice said neighbor there's a million reasons why you should be glad in all four seasons forget all about worry and strife just spread the religion of the rhythm of life...

[@RLo95]

we sung this song at my school in english. it is awesome

[@PACONI]

AMAZING, SO AMAZING.

[@Eve4000]

Oh man, i love this song from the movie, but I never heard it in welsh, and these people gave me chills. Amazing!

[@4fsake]

Very, VERY Good, loved every second of it!

[@HannahLovitt10]

im not even welsh and everytime i hear this song i always try sing the welsh bit, it sounds so good! xx

[@berthartman5583]

[@goldkehlchen1993]

[@icdas7158]

No a choir fan, but these guys rocked , awesome

[@philroyce4245]

Thought you guys were outstanding on last nights BGT made a tear come in my eyes. DJ Royce :)

[@PinkPufflePie]

my 2 cousins are in this! lol. this is probs the most used song for welsh choirs...they all use this song. it is so hard to sing..to fast. yes, they are a welsh stage school for whoever was asking.

[@phillipcleaver7063]

Fantastic , these kids really nailed it ! .

[@TheTaiylorWallace]

My High School choir sang this, and we sounded a ton like these guys in all English. I wouldn't put it past my Choir to beat these guys.

[@soybeanjas]

I keep on watching to it.

[@feniandragon]

Gwych! Perfformiadau ffantastig gennych ar y caneuon i gyd.

I love the fact they added in the welsh and the waistcoast they were really good! :)

This is brilliant

[@MrTrinity2009]

Awesome!

[@nathandough]

Love it, brilliant!

[@woodlakerun]

This song is based on "Rhythm of Life" from the Musical Movie "Sweet Charity". I think that finding lyrics would be hard. It seems that they sing a special (own created) version. At 0:45 they sing welsh.

[@akafudge]

Love it, well done team!

[@borninbay]

Another awesome performance. Well done Glanaethwy. Cynru am Byth

[@iastan]

I sing this song at School. It's lovely to sing!

[@T37RAE]

THAT WAS AMAZINGGGG!

[@tempamore]

AAAMMMMMMMMAZZZZZINNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!! Well done!

[@noematik]

This is fenomenal!!!

[@Chachboon1]

@prettylittleroslyn Possibly because they sang in Welsh? They were asked by the judges in the preliminary round not to because it reduces the number of people that the music can communicate with. Personally I thought it was a nice touch, and beautifully sung too!

[@3tangle3]

@policeman1956 i really think this could get a few million views if it got out to the world. Glanaethwy is the name of the school (ysgol =school/ladder in welsh) and they are from NW Wales on menai atrait btw :)

[@TheKarlez]

Wow theyyy aree sooooooo goood!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this song.. I wish I was in that choir :( though I'm probably not good enough. Our high school choir only has 13 people!!!! I wish I was a part of that...

[@berniceconley3436]

Magnificent!
