it seems to be a weird quick of mathematics, too. I bet the errors in tone across this audience is approaching a gaussian distribution. Same happens if you ask enough people to guess the number of things in a jar. Any individual answer is unlikely to be spot on, but the mean is approaching the truth rapidly with increased data points. Likewise it is excedingly hard to know what an individual is doing, but a group of people is very much predictable. As an example for the latter. When moving while having a conversation, groups of at least 4 people tend to move in an inversed u formation while reducing their movement speed down from 4.5 kph by 17% with almost 100% accuracy.
You know I've often thought that about crowds of football fans with their chants. Most of them won't have had any voice training whatsoever but together they still manage to sound good.
I think the best thing about Bowie is that every time I watch a cover of one of his songs I think "God, he would be so proud". Doesn't matter if it's an astronaut, an amazing choir or a little kid. Every time I see someone inspired by him I think he would have loved it.
That’s cool. How do y’all know how someone who tragically isn’t here anymore would feel about something? I never truly KNOW how anyone (dead or otherwise) actually feels about anything beyond what they express.
You will know ! When the time comes some day ,you would understand it,too. Just because you cant feel it , doesn`t mean it didnt exist~ Or ~~when you finally turn on your forth chakra which is about love and heart ~
For those with short attention spans, the whole song kicks in at 4:40 - although it’s interesting to hear the choir leader work with the audience beforehand. 👍

Wait I think I got it So mike here, the man, the legend, our mikey boy, is one of those people who types with an aesthetic- but oh! Our man doesn't have a tumblr, he cant copy and paste all those sweet, sweet, unreadable letters from the furries and lonely scene girls. So here he is, using the letters built into keyboards with accents, umläute, and whatever else he can find to make his comments shine and sparkle! Uh lmao wasn't expectibg to write all that but hey it was fun to do so
Damn, I thought that it was Mick Ronson singing the high part during the vocals. At least, that’s how they did it live! Mick’s voice really complemented David’s voice very well.
06-06-20. What begins with a little giggle ..turns in the most beautiful version of space oddity. I wish I was there to sing along just to experience the vibes.
@@philipford6183 lol ok. Maybe on video not that interesting, but when you sit through a performance that’s likely at least an hour and a half, an experience like this is an extremely welcome change of pace and unforgettable.
@Jakob It did updates so NASA could monitor it, the last update was "My battery low and it's getting dark" So yes, it did send that. Note: your grammar doesn't give you the right to insult somebodies intellect.
@Jakob So you are making the argument that I messed up on grammar, therefore, i'm dumb, however you don't even seem to give a shit about grammar, would that not also make you dumb? Along with that, you keep on trying to justify your intelligence to try to make yourself look good, however, you are arguing about something as insignificant as this. Finally, you claim I am not worth the grammar, that means you think that you get to call me out on stuff that you also do, for example, mess up with quotation marks. So wouldn't I be justified in saying that you are not worth the grammar? That argument is purely so you can still stroke your own ego yet also mess up. I hope you have a bad day and get popcorn in the back of your tooth.
I was just telling my gf that this video made me realize that humans are amazing and beautiful creatures and we can do anything if we put our minds to it! If you are feeling depressed in life, try giving this video a try, skip to 4:37 and you may just get your positive outlook on life back!
1. How do you know how someone who tragically isn’t here anymore would feel about something? 2. Who are you that you get to know who is and isn’t in heaven?
i was trying to air out at my local skate park today. i was listining to this song and i got distracted and went hands first into a wall. i have a new rule now, no david bowie while skating.
I love audience participation moments, like this. It often bridges gaps between generations, such as in this video where it's obvious that the majority of these people likely weren't around yet when the song was written/performed by the artist. As an old(er) who was witness to this back then, this just makes me smile and feel the love even that much more. Peace. 3:)
I felt shivers onto the back of my head and my eyes are full of tears. I love Bowie with all of my heart, he made me feel special when i thought i was odd and weird. This cover is one of the most beautiful things i heard. Thank you... for real. The stars really look different today.
This was the song that I first heard Choir!Choir!Choir! perform and I am blessed to be living in Toronto that I can now sing with them every week (and I'm having the time of my life!). Great job! Keep going!
The choir in this depicted performance is not Toronto. The group that first wrote this particular arrangement of this song and that sang it in this style is from Toronto. Their many videos are on TH-cam, as Rick, above, pointed out. th-cam.com/video/cKg1_fKO1sY/w-d-xo.html
La música de David Bowie es única, tal vez a todos no les guste, pero sin duda sea el momento donde estés o el idioma que hables, esta música te va a llevar a otro lugar
Excellent! What the director did with the audience was excellent, too. A good choir director helps singers do what they can't do on their own. I am a choralist and love singing under a good director.
i've listen to ''the good the bad and the ugly'' one of fantastic volcalists for the film in 1966, I found amazing those who participate in the choreography. Love this
Goosebumps. The director/composer/conductor did such an amazing job combing so many people at his every move. Props to the guitarist and choir as well.
Oui, la plus belle chanson du monde pour moi, et qui prends tout son sens avec l'astronaute , Chris adfield, pas sûre de l'orthographe,lol, et oui le chef d'orchestre ,ben j'aurais bien aimé être dans le public,pour la vibration et l'émotion..
Beautiful, just beautiful! Anytime we can bring back David in any way is such a comforting thing. He really lives forever. David would love this! BRAVO!
I hesitated before coming here to listen, and now I am glad. Besides the music and singing, the interaction with the audience was absolutely the best part. Participation makes a body feel good. I imagine there were some pretty joyful souls that night or day.
I still remember that day in 1979 when this song reached its 10th anniversary. It had been my favorite song for 10 years, and it hit me then how fast time flies. Now, after it’s passed its 50th anniversary, I’m beginning to realize just how naive I was in ‘79. R.I.P. David. You were a part of my life and you live on for me.

Indeed!
When a crowd of humans sing it always sounds beautiful. The imperfections in our individual voices blend into perfection.

Now listen to the original, recognize Bowie as its "lone" vocalist, then recognize how many octaves he covered.

Can you hear us Major Tom. We love you. Forever and ever
very very moving. the man in front has a real understanding about Bowie's music and about music as i guess. a lot of talent here. thanks a lot.
Yes, Ed Aldcroft is a very knowledgeable, talented musician!

This dude just proved that there's no such thing as a 'bad singer'... Simply beautiful.
This has to be one of the most amazing ways of including the public within a live peformance I have ever seen. Kudos to the cunductor!
I found it quite unnecessarily tedious. The pay-off wasn't worth the effort.

Thank you TH-cam algorithm for recommending me this
David died today, 5 years ago.

I first heard this incredible song back in the early 70s on Clemson U's student radio station WSBF 88.1FM. This stirred up the emotions inside me.

This was done in the 1976 by the The Langley Schools Music Project which David Bowie always firmly expressed was his fave cover of the song.
David Bowie was a star in our sky. Hope he met the major Tom.
Impossible... Major Tom is David Bowie's fictional character that he created. He isn't real.
Brings a tear to the eye. What a beautiful creation this is!
How to turn something unforgettable in something legendary.
Excellent! What the director did with the audience was excellent, too. A good choir director helps singers do what they can't do on their own. I am a choralist and love singing under a good director.

This is so well done love how the audience gets involved just takes it to that next level
At least someone understands Bowie's genius!!!
