These babies are worth fighting for, we've come to far, excellent delivery!!! I love this Choir, the leaders that continue to serve these phenomenal youth for decades now.
Glory Hallelujah! 🤍🙌✨✨✨
Colombian here and wow that's amazing.
if they were already standing, is it still a "standing ovation"
It started out very, very British then went black American gospel. Excellent 😀
💙💙💙
Why isn’t the choir more diverse.
Yesssss… I got chills watching this
This was a beautiful version. However I would not call it gospel.
Black people will give you chills on everything they touch… Now this makes me cry
Mesmerizing ❤
Sounds like opera. That is not gospel.
I’m gonna need this on Inauguration Day when Kamala GETS TO WORK bringing us back from the darkest political days of my generation 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Looking pretty empty in that convention. Looks like the venue is only half full.
Wow!
Wonderful!! I must have missed that. I’m glad I saw it in YouTube.
