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.
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. 👍
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 ~

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.
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!
@@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.
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.
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:)

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
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.
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
@@jarviszwno. The cover and choir in this video is repeating the original choral arrangement from Choir! Choir! Choir!, which was based in Toronto. You can look up their original video on TH-cam.
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.
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.
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 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.
Simplemente Hermoso!, te traslada a la infinidad del tiempo y espacio, solo de imaginar la desaventura del Mayor Tom de comunicarse y saber que no podrá volver con sus seres queridos. Te hace llorar. Bowie, eres un genio.
OOOOMMMMGGGGG!!! That was the most amazing rendition of that song since David sang it!! When I was 12 years old, my family moved to the city Neil Armstrong called home-Wapakoneta, OH. We moved there in the first week of July, 1969. It’s a rural town where everybody knows everybody, so we thought nothing much about eating at the restaurant where they were eating, or seeing one of them at the grocery store. But, amazingly enough, although I loved David Bowie, it wasn’t until recently that I finally put the two together. Or, maybe I did know, but ever since my son died (Covid complications) earlier this year, my memory has been messing up a lot. But, anyway I really love this song! My son would have LOVED this video.
A mon sens aussi, c'est bien plus qu'un chanteur, un artiste incroyable. Et si même le Che est d'accord, on peut vivre paisiblement! J'espère que MAJOR TOM nous entends
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
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..
I have a demo class next week for this ESL teaching job and I'm so nervous about it, but when I listened to this song while studying my files I feel at peace, encouraged and feels like I can do it. It sets the mood so ease. and btw this song speaks about courage and taking the risk even you don't know bout something. such a beautiful song.
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!

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

oximoron, bcn-English-choir,,, but he is speaking in French,, NOT English,
Start at the start, it's what the artists intend and is more rewarding.
Music is far better when shared. Even if it's not "perfect", it is by the way better.
Like everything else.
John Cage would agree
I'm crying, when listening...
Yes :)
Remember, nothing can be perfect. But this video is, just incredible or maybe can't be described in words.
Just imagine being there and singing along
When you come to Barcelona, look for the Barcelona English Choir and sing along!
Just imagine it, brings tears to my eyes
Goosebumps would fuckin get out of control if I was there
I do, but nothing is real😢
I actually sang along, i chose the right side of the audience ö_ö

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.
