I rarely, if ever, go on youtube. It just doesn't interest me. The
more viral a video becomes, the less desire I have to watch it. For
instance, I've never seen Susan Boyle's video. I'm sure it's lovely,
but I could really care less.
A few days ago I was looking at my favorite entertainment industry blog, Crazy Days and Nights. He posted a link to youtube of a video of the PS22 Chorus singing the Lady GaGa song "Just Dance," and wrote that it was worth taking the 3 minutes to watch. Given how much I like his blog, I thought I'd follow his recommendation to check out the video.
To my delight, the kids were just the cutest!! The soloist was fantastic. What a lovely voice!! She was very poised. I would have been petrified at that age. All of the singers whether soloists or choristers were so expressive. It was great to see them singing and dancing. There were even a lot of boys!! At the end of the video it was just so sweet how the girl who did the brief rhyming part gave the main soloist a high five and clearly said "Good job!". The whole video was a pleasant reminder of what singing is all about.
I was so impressed that I actually watched more of their videos on youtube. I wish I had a cool music teacher like that guy when I was in grammar school!! I liked "Landslide", "Don't Stop Believin'", and "Let There be Peace on Earth" best. I'm clearly late to this party as I tend to be with any online/social networking type thing as these kids have been on national television, have had hundreds of thousands of views of their videos on youtube, and have had various celebrities blog about them. They were even in Washington and had their picture taken with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In any case, I really think it is worth taking a few minutes out of your day to watch their videos. Here is the link to their youtube page -

I also love Crazy Days and Nights. It's like an entertainment industry insider's perspective, or as my husband thinks insiders' perspectives, with a strong undercurrent of Raymond Chandler and James Elroy. Here is the link to that site - http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/
