I'm a 54 y/o dad and this just gets me every time. Why is that? Why does my throat get tight and my eyes tear up and I just feel so much for everyone and everything. Is this not the answer, this video, to how we save ourselves as a civilization? Let's just do flash mobs and love each other. Please?
COVID-19, Trump, armed militias strolling the streets, MAGA cultists, international condemnation. Yep. Took one election and a fucking plague just to shit away all of that gooey goodness.
+miss murray I think that is because this video strikingly exposes one greatest gift Jehovah gave us - LOVE to each other. This is very rare now in people around, unfortunately.
I was home sick that day and channel surfed to catch this from the very beginning and I had an almost out of body experience watching this it was that cool.
Its because you just can’t beat the simple days of 2008-2015 in the USA. We had simple phones no fancy iPhones or Androids. Nobody was recording the live concerts back then they were just living in the moment. because Nobody cared about views or clout. Life was better back then I can admit for me personally as well.
The best part is always the beginning, how everyone on stage is just so confused why everybody but one lonely woman is totally bored about what is going on until they actually understand what is going on :'D
I cry whenever I watch flashmobs idk there's just something so amazing about seeing people come together and have a good time in a world where all we seem to see is humans fighting other humans. This makes me love people (:
This video always weirdly makes me burst into non-stop tears. Mostly because it reminds me of what we could accomplish if we all just shut up and worked together for once.
I remember seeing this on TV. Honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Her reaction was priceless! Made the tears come watching again. Awesome!
I come back once in a while to watch this just to remind myself that love and unity can capture moments for a lifetime. I always get happy tears..... 😊
I was one of the dancers, with my best friend and this is one of the best times of my life. Hope to experience this again. I love my city Chicago born and Raised !!! They told us it was a surprise for Oprah when they started casting for dancers. So her reaction was the Real Deal as well as the Black Eyed Peas
It's the beauty of seeing so many strangers working together in unison and having fun. Combine that with the energy of that song and it's no surprise why tears of happiness start flowing.
Judging from the other videos, it looks like the choreographers set up rehearsal spots all over the city and taught each group individually and then came together. I had to do that once with my high school choir. We were just one of many choirs from schools all over our part of the state participating in a huge music festival. Each choir learned the same few songs and then we all came together. The effect was magical.
@@sccs9700 yes. Took the day off! Lol But I was so far at back it was just an outing. See it had always been hard to get tickets to the Oprah Show Studios in Chicago. So finally this was a free show that we could watch live and we participated. It was a nice warm fall afternoon.
I miss the 2000s so much. Oh my gosh, how I would love to go back :( I seriously believe that I grew up in the best generation ever. So much love in this one video. This is how we should all be
I know that this is what God intended for human race in the beginning of time.....too much love,joy n happiness regardless of colour,race or religion. Soo cool .i love it .
It's wonderful... It's so... Just look at the girl who dances alone at the beginning, she does not have much impact because she is part of the minority but she launches this dance, leads 5 then 10 people who lead with them other people and all together we see the impact extraordinary and important. There should be more moments like this in the world. I think I'm not the only one affected by this union, by this group Uni that takes a crazy pleasure for a few minutes, I cried in front of so much beauty, in 2019 we need these kinds of events. Congratulations to the human or humans who came up with this idea 👏
My 11 year old showed me this, I can't stop watching it. All those people dancing together, perfect timing. Can't even imagine what that must've felt like. Did Oprah know they were gonna do this? I heard it was a suprise for her birthday or something.
That's what life should be about...waking up, gathering with people, making memories and going to bed a little bit happier everyday... ♥ Probably One of the best flash mobs !
This is still amazing many, many years later, in 2022. Actually, let's face it, the past couple of years have only made this moment even more amazing and memorable!
It's the first time I saw this video and OMG I wasn't expecting the crowd to be part of the routine. Black Eye Peas and Oprah, you can't expect anything less than AWSOME!!!
Keep coming back to this. Its just purely beautiful. This literally gives me goosebumps and makes me cry a little. I’m a grown man, it takes a lot to make me cry. Just beautiful how connected these people are. Wish stuff like this would still occur nowadays.
If I was them and saw that before my eyes, I would burst in tears, like literally break down. I’m a cry baby, like just watching this brings tears to my eyes, because as a performer you always come to perform for a crowd, not the crowd perform for you
That is what makes people great. We can all come together & forget our bigotry & work together in something like this, the haters don't stand a chance if people unite.
I guess this bring tears to my eyes at the unity and energy and love and positivity and sheer joy and excitment. The soul can only take so much of this all at once & the body can't contain it so comes a release in TEARS !!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! I guess that's why I'm crying! 😭 🤗🥳
I'm not a big fan of Oprah or the Black-Eyed Peas, but I come back here every once in a while because this video helps restore my faith in humanity a little bit. We need more flash mobs these days.
Watching this so many times and getting everytime emotional to see that so many humans could do this together. So good and a good example of how much more it is when all are working together with 1 goal 🙏❤️
It’s 2023 and I still come back to this video to watch it over and over again. Hits me in my feels.
Me too!!! It makes me happy and teary at the same time 🥲
Ditto!😂
and im still watching in 2024! ^^
Saaaameee 💖

For those coming from tiktok you were lied to, the crowd was part of a flash mob
ik i just yelled at them
I was so confused that no one in the comments knew this lmao
@@TheSuperKXL ikr I was like ??? are yall fr 😭
Thank you
Yh this is an old vid. It even had vids of people in the flash mob learning the moves 😂
2010: Black Eyed Peas, smartphones, startups, dance, happiness, flashmobs, summer vibes
2020: Corona

+miss murray cause brings people together, no matter what your color, race, creed, etc , .... as Oprah said so cool.
Why?..Because it's so bad?
+miss murray I think that is because this video strikingly exposes one greatest gift Jehovah gave us - LOVE to each other. This is very rare now in people around, unfortunately.
Flash Mobs bring tears to my eyes, something about the collective human spirit celebrating together, not enough of that left today, it seems to me!
+RChar PzM Well said :)
+William Woodrum Oh my God ! Same here
Yeah, I miss flash mobs
OMG! I thought it was just me!
Согласен на все 100%. Это круть!
Oprah filming the performance with her puppy case celphone is EVERYTHING to me every time I watch this I just can't stop laughing
I was apart of this flash mob.
Its one of my favorite memories!
I rewatch the videos of it because it brings me joy!
Good old times
If I had a time machine, this is a moment I would like to experience.
I was home sick that day and channel surfed to catch this from the very beginning and I had an almost out of body experience watching this it was that cool.
Awesome, how long did everyone have to rehearse for? Well done!
How on earth did they achieve that it got that synchronized ?
Is it me or EVERYTHING used to be so different back then. So easy.
Its because you just can’t beat the simple days of 2008-2015 in the USA. We had simple phones no fancy iPhones or Androids. Nobody was recording the live concerts back then they were just living in the moment. because Nobody cared about views or clout. Life was better back then I can admit for me personally as well.
@@hurleygonzalez i miss 2008-2015
Life was so much better/simpler back then.

sorry I don't speak English well, but in fact the black eyes peas were on the spot, only Oprah was not aware
sorry for the delay

This actually brought tears to my eyes watching this now in 2021. Makes me miss how people use to just work together, have fun, and just enjoy life!
2023 here. The same tears.
Cuz people don't do the same nowadays ? Uh
I cry whenever I watch flashmobs idk there's just something so amazing about seeing people come together and have a good time in a world where all we seem to see is humans fighting other humans. This makes me love people (:
hey! same here
same
Ashleigh McLeish I concur with you 110%
omg same..i'm always in tears and i feel so much joy :))
Ashleigh McLeish u got someone body 😣
when humans work together they can accomplish really cool things
This video always weirdly makes me burst into non-stop tears.
Mostly because it reminds me of what we could accomplish if we all just shut up and worked together for once.
Omgosh, me too!
same here, got them tears in my eyes damn
Only just come across this video, agree with all the comments,fantastic.
I remember seeing this on TV. Honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Her reaction was priceless! Made the tears come watching again. Awesome!
I usually don't get emotional easily but flashmobs ALWAYS make me cry in tears because I feel like mankind can fix itself with everyone together.
I come back once in a while to watch this just to remind myself that love and unity can capture moments for a lifetime. I always get happy tears..... 😊
Reminder 😉
This is crazy. The best Flashmob with so many people. Fantastic ... and the face of Oprah .... soooo coool
I was one of the dancers, with my best friend and this is one of the best times of my life. Hope to experience this again. I love my city Chicago born and Raised !!!

Esse vídeo me faz sentir tão bem! Um mix de adrenalina, emoção...assisto a anos e não me canso. Estou aqui em 2020.
Somos dois! ✌
Eu também show.

Só imagino a energia que teve esse dia pra quem tava lá, eu me emociono só de assistir
A energia é maravilhosa.
haha I love Oprah's reaction to the flash mob dancing XD
omg I'm crying and idk why
+Sofia Fania I'm cryng with you!!!
me too. WHYYY?
Me three!!
It's the beauty of seeing so many strangers working together in unison and having fun. Combine that with the energy of that song and it's no surprise why tears of happiness start flowing.
I didn't understand why people does not move... Now i'm almost in tears. This is fire. ❤️
I am still wondering HOW to get such a massive enormous huge crowd to all do the same dance moves and all actually DO IT...? How? ^^ - Btw, i LOVE IT!
Judging from the other videos, it looks like the choreographers set up rehearsal spots all over the city and taught each group individually and then came together.
I had to do that once with my high school choir. We were just one of many choirs from schools all over our part of the state participating in a huge music festival. Each choir learned the same few songs and then we all came together. The effect was magical.
We practiced all day in groups

@@rosean374 bep know about?
I still come back to this video when I have to remember what it was like to be good, safe and healthy. It makes me happy to watch this every year.
I miss the good old days...
Whenever I need to feel better and smile and laugh I come back to this. My aunt just passed and this is uplifting my spirits.
I miss the 2000s so much. Oh my gosh, how I would love to go back :(
I seriously believe that I grew up in the best generation ever. So much love in this one video. This is how we should all be
é tão ver pessoas que nem se conhecem vibrando juntos e se divertindo esquecendo os problemas, isso é tão lindo
Verdd isso só tras muita emoção
We have to do this after this Covid-19 crisis !
Yes I agree 100%, do a giant worldwide flashmob to this song. That would be the most amazing thing. I was crying watching this.
Let me add something to that we should include all the front workers. I love those guys.
hahaha it's been a year and it's still not possible
I know that this is what God intended for human race in the beginning of time.....too much love,joy n happiness regardless of colour,race or religion. Soo cool .i love it .
Winnie Achieng yes
Me too
Oprah just vibing with no clue what's going on was the best 😂😂
how they managed this is beyond me, simply incredible.
12 years ago, and I’ve watched it so many times. If you didn’t watch this and wanted to be there as part of that flash mob….🙌🏻❤️
It's wonderful... It's so...

Alguém em 2024 vendo essa obra de arte 😍🥰😘
This is still amazing many, many years later, in 2022. Actually, let's face it, the past couple of years have only made this moment even more amazing and memorable!
00:40 I bet Oprah is like "Fuck, I dont have to film this" and puts her camera away lol
bestdamnalex She was filming the other side
Para mim, o melhor Flash Mob de todos os tempos !!!!!
It's the first time I saw this video and OMG I wasn't expecting the crowd to be part of the routine. Black Eye Peas and Oprah, you can't expect anything less than AWSOME!!!
still the best flash mob of all :) pure joy :)
To this day I tear-up every time I watch this. So many people, so much happiness. What could humanity achieve if we were like that all the time?
Now, this is a flash mob (:
Keep coming back to this. Its just purely beautiful. This literally gives me goosebumps and makes me cry a little. I’m a grown man, it takes a lot to make me cry. Just beautiful how connected these people are. Wish stuff like this would still occur nowadays.
2:55 gives me the chills

It's beautiful. I don't see colors, nor religions, nor social status, nor nationalities. Just people. It is something redeeming.
My dad loved this video (and so did I). Today, after a year of his departure, another victim of COVID, I watch in tears...
2:08 I love this shot of all those hands in every skin color possible, all belonging to people having fun together. ♥
When internet became a thing we had this golden era as humans, but we eventually devolved.
It’s 2021 and this vid still send shivers to my spine. 🤗
Em pleno 2024 nós estamos aqui novamente assistido a esse show incrível
Who is watching this in 2022. I watch this so many times, and it is the best Flashmob of all times.
1:28 Oprah FINALLY realizes whats going on...
And at 3:00 Oprah loses her damn mind.
Best flashmob ever...
First flash mob I ever saw and still the best
That is what makes people great. We can all come together & forget our bigotry & work together in something like this, the haters don't stand a chance if people unite.
that one girl just krunking at the front though
you go girl >u
She's the lead, she set the timing for everyone to start.
She's a hottie! ❤️
the happiness of Oprah is great
Patrick Wybouw yea so great but yet she won't apologizes to atheists for her comments
I guess this bring tears to my eyes at the unity and energy and love and positivity and sheer joy and excitment. The soul can only take so much of this all at once & the body can't contain it so comes a release in TEARS !!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! I guess that's why I'm crying! 😭 🤗🥳

love OPRAH...Love this flashmob..😉😍
OMG I'm still crying every time I see this! Oprah jumping in joy!!❤❤🎉😂
2024 y me sigo emocionando por ver que unidos se puden hacer cosas tan guays!
Esse é o melhor flash mob de todos!!! Não tem jeito.
The golden age of TH-cam. Where fun was more present then advertising
my 10 years old young self used to watch this video all the time and watching again years later it brings back so many good memories
Всегда поднимает мне настроение, лучший флешмоб в мире! Спасибо, Чикаго!
This needs a bigger audience, and a lot more likes. Simply amazing.
I always get tears in my eyes this is so beautiful
This song brings back memories when we were happy
12 years and I still have a crush on THAT womanl
I love this! Have seen it so many times. The energy is just awesome and I love seeing it dawn on Oprah what’s happening. Unbelievable organization
the colaboration allows to do beautiful thing so seelement our species was less crazy !
Watching this in 2022. Flash mobs need to be revived. Such a great example of the potentials in collective effort.
I LOVE IT WHEN OPRAH SCREAMING
They were so good, positive music with the right groove
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen in life.
*Americans are so damn badass*
You can say whatever you want, but this will always be the king of flashmobs❤️
Magnifique tous ces gens qui dansent dans l'amour ensemble.. revenons à ça.. encore...maintenant..
Mon dieu oui 👍🏽
Vim de 2020 dizer que esse é o melhor Flash Mob que existe!
