Scientologists sing "We Stand Tall" 2010 at Shrine Auditorium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2018
- The Church of Scientology shows why it has made it in Hollywood for so long with this elaborate production number worthy of an Oscar telecast. From the 2009-2010 New Year celebration at the Shrine Auditorium. The very same room the Academy of Motion Pictures recorded so many Oscar telecasts.
Featuring a large supporting cast of non-Whites hired especially for the occasion.
This is a re-make of a previous video made years earlier.
_“You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.”_
L. Ron Hubbard - Founder of Scientology
Oh, the irony of having the Evil Elf exit the stage as this song begins to play. He'd only stand tall if he borrowed Elton John's platform shoes circa 1975.
He is, to use their language for someone who wants out of the slavery of the Sea Org, a "degraded being."
I always enjoy playing this song. Love Saturday Night Live version
It’s like Jim Jones and the Grammys had a baby.
Hilarious! Good one! The Grammys have actually used that VERY SAME stage over the years at the Shrine Auditorium.
LOL
This is like the most 2000’s thing ever and I love it.
I think some of the costumes are almost late 1980s!
@@AngryGayPope Oh yeah, but those breakdancing moves are def 2000's MTV.
That is crock cult. That you had to pay to have your brain tune up.
She has a nice voice...shame to waste on this
Soon this will be adapted to We Stand Trial.
Now there a concert I would love to see!
@@AngryGayPope Well they introduced the RICO laws to smash organised crime, so now perhaps it's time to introduce the SICKO law to put an end to these 'religious' cults. Yes absolutely AGP, and it would be great to meet you outside the court after Miscavige is taken down to the cells for kidnap and torture of innocent but easily-manipulated people in 'The Hole'.
we stand trial
no turning back
they found a way
Scientology brings you down. Don't join that cult.
We can only hope
Absolutely captivated. I cannot look away.
Now stop blinking!
Is it bad that I really like the original “we stand tall” 😳😳
I find myself singing it around the house 🤦🏼♂️
It is catchy! My thing is "Happy Birthday Ron"!
Me too
Me too, especially having seen the beautiful songbird who renders it here. I would love a kiss and cuddle with her, and maybe even a rummage
Same... once I hear this dumb song it's stuck in my head for DAYS.
It's a solid song, if a bit stuck in the '80s "Songs For a Cause" mold.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m standing tall right now.
Miscavige probably gave the singer a backhand across the face after she came off stage
She went to the hole and was forced to stand in a trash can while the choir poured water on her as she confessed to her crimes of putting a banana inside the guitar player's butt. Fuck scientology.
The tall white woman deserves it the most.
Hilarious because it’s true! 😆
I had nearly the same thought. What if she messed up? Would she be thrown in to the hole?
Except he's so short he could only slap her knee's!
I have to say I prefer the leaked video of little Miscavage singing his little heart out, but the slick nature of this is a good reminder how phony Scientology is. ‘If we make a big enough spectacle of our little song no one will notice how empty our buildings and beliefs are.’
Oh my word, yes. Ex-Scientologist here. It is soooo fake. Everything is staged. They have a whole division called Gold Base, and all they do is get you to pose. Then for every event they show you all these staged videos. They would come into the course room, everything had to be cleaned and we all had to pretend like we were so focused and happy on course. I cannot even began to explain the mental trauma that this group caused me, you walk around these beautiful buildings but you are in fear the whole time. I started to dissociate, I felt everything closing in on me. It is not just an innocent, strange cult with Odd ideas, I wish people could see how dangerous they really are.
Ooo-wee, ooo-wee, we believe
Ooo-wee, ooo-wee, we believe!
Neurotology!
Neurotology looks like so much fun!
You have an ear for comedy! Neurotology is the study of the ear.
SNL lol
They do it better.
I’m really worried about the woman on stage who seems to be having a seizure
The snipers are just making her nervous; that's all.
@@SamPendleton It's the lack of meds
You know for the last 12 days she's been doing nothing but practicing this song with minimal food and water.
@@dangelotringali7527 I wonder if that’s because she finally started taking her meds 💁🏼♂️
I have never seen a back up singer demand such attention on stage. What was happening…
These people don’t drink… imagine that. This would be EPIC drunk
Scientologists drink PLENTY of brown liquor.
Ought to sing patsy Cline’s “Crazy”
We used that in a Karen DLC video I believe!
I highly recommend former $cientology Office of Special Affairs leader Mike Rinder’s new book “A Billion Years”. A great read.
It has been on several "best of books" lists.
If he is "former" that means he betrayed his contract
mikes book was slated by marty though
@@danielzelpher7335that “contract” is meaningless .. even $cientology officials have stated that the billion year “contract” is only symbolic.
I love how Miscavige introduces the song but not the name of the lead singer lol
Wow1 I actually LOVE this
Love is all you need!
It seems like years since I watched a Scientology event online. I especially love the way 5-foot nothing trollette Mixcabbage keeps using the phrase "then again" wherever he has space for it. As anyone who's seen the diminutive squirt will agree, it's the little things that make life fun.
They will never fill a hall like that again. In fact, they don't really have events post covid.
@@AngryGayPope Good point AGP, they've had plenty of time to organise a Ron's Birthday Party or then again, a 'The Day He Shed His Mortal Remains' party, but nothing. The 'millions' of cult members must be desperate for one of these fabulous displays of unity - I mean, it's not like there are only around 30 thousand members left or anything.
Relishing their demise, I really am. You will be standing on Hollywood Blvd Pope, as the last one scuttles away to look for the Aftermath.
How about a David McCabbagePatch figure?
I left the Church 23 Years ago. This song still stirs emotion in me. What could have been. what should have been. Now we have hate and bigotry. Are we any better off?
How long were you in?
I like the original version better. I prefer my crazy to come from the 80s.
The singers probably switched to SNL´s Neurotology after making this video.
Tee hee!
Lol hail meepthorp!
Religion and science all combined
Aliens live in our minds
When you watch Scientology's publicity videos of the general hubbub in an org it is strange how everyone is 35 years old, clean, slim, attractive and fit, and all able to walk pretend-purposefully around the reception at exactly the same speed, laughing and enjoying their favourite happy place, all apparently on important Scientology business. The harmless staff are received by the visitors as though they were serving you free food.Do they think we are all stupid? They surely must do. Take a look in a REAL org and what will strike you is the absolute lack of people, and a few untidy staff hanging around like death row inmates. NOBODY else is cluttering up the place, and nobody is walking in off the street with pertinent questions. There are no happy policemen, and no pairs of idiots scooting around quite obviously trying to do what a director is telling them to do. These places are an absolute joke to every clear thinking person. Any stragglers still waiting to escape the cult will wonder how come when in an org they only see ugly, fat, vacant-looking people like robots, and old coffin-dodgers looking revoltingly unfit, poorly nourished and half-witted. You would never see the 'advert extras' who scoot around in twos looking confident, happy and vacuous.
For goodness sake Scientologists, while the orgs are still not permanently shut down try to make an advert a little closer to reality.
ABSOLUTELY. Just look at my trip to the Pasadena Ideal Org a week after opening. It was dead and that was a decade ago!
I love the fake choir. That’ll get African American engagement numbers up for sure.
Rented.
They’ve got an official partnership with the Nation of Islam now 😱
@@kristinazubic9669 say whaaa? Are you cereal?
That would be quite thee um...... mixture
That first soloist looks terrified. She’s probably going to be sent to the RPF if she goes off key for even a second.
4:02, riffing choir member!! Doing the most!!
He realllyyyy likes it
Give me your mind,money and a billion years of service and I’ll give you poverty and an awards ceremony with a nice funky song, sound good?
Don't forget the award that looks like the ark of the covenant!
Every masterpiece has its soulless remake
Apple Box Dave and The 90s Jumpers
In the Hole 2010
Francis Khoury As my man Snoop Dogg would say, that’s cold blooded 😂
ROFL!!!
It's strange listening to a choir sing the praises of L. Ron Hubbard as though he was Jesus! It seems as though they worship him as a deity...
you are not prepared for "happy birthday to you RON!"
@@AngryGayPope That's a classic! I find this song, however, has more of a liturgical flavour than the iconic birthday song. Thank you for bringing this shit to light. :)
Wait! L Ron isn’t Jesus? Blasphemy!
They’ve found the “way” oh how I wished I’d invented a religion, I swear I’d be such a good leader!
Second refrain: “We stand bent over, waiting to be audited, to have our past lives as other people come out and worship a science fiction writer who invented a narrative no one could possibly believe but us!”
Those of us who have "been there and done that" know what has been lost. The regime that took over Scientology, after Ron dropped his body, has squirreled away humanities future.
I'm not sure what you mean. That would only be true if all humanity was in COS correct?
Be sure to watch the SNL song lampooning this song . ‘Neuterology’ 😂😂😂
A classic!
Christians raise their hands during their music, scientologists do backflips
😂😂 💀
with Michael Jackson jackets.
I don't know much about these year end events and the attendees list. Would Leah Remini have been in the audience for this, clapping away?
Quite likely!
I wondered where these videos went.
The church had my previous account deleted.
Aw, the jazzed up version. Actually, it is a very well done version of a crappy song. She has a nice voice. I have nothing negative to say about this video. Well done.
Nah the original is giga
@@bobbykotick1163 I don't know what giga means, but I have to agree with you if it means the original was better. This is cool in its own way, but the original is glorious.
How about just all the hired black people to attempt to show diversity ?
Miscaviage stands small.
Which is why it is so funny it is the opposite of reality. You don't see me writing songs like "my penis is too small!"
Why hasn’t a real movie on L.Ron been made (other than The Master’s thinly disguised attempt)? By real, I mean all the falsifications and manipulation of facts. Scientology would have kittens trying to sue.
Well there is the going clear docu but that is not a "movie."
I'd love to see that myself. It would be the ultimate exposure of this pathetic and despicable cult calling itself a church and religion. It might help the naive followers who are still involved to finally come to their senses and leave.
I love how they still try to pretend they are a religion. Its sad this actually sounds good. Blech!
They are only good at PR. All sizzle no steak.
Streets LA STAND TALLLLLLLLLLL
This song is actually pretty okay. Im legitimately surprised lol
I love HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU RON :)
@@AngryGayPope I just discovered that one lol
How many key changes does this song need?😂
Yeah they took a simple song and kept overbuilding it!
All of them
Big number saved for the last seven minutes of the gathering. The video of the puppet master in the background was the piece de resistance. Everything is fine until you start to question about leaving. There is no leaving!
I'm surprised they did not lock the doors to the venue. They actually do that at small events!
A beautiful song about a despicable money making cult. I read once that many people in the audience are hired extras to fill the auditorium. If true, it's an indication of how greatly their membership has decreased. I don't know if it's true but nothing would surprise me about Scientology. I made the mistake of being involved with the C of S in the 80's. I witnessed first hand, the ignorance, dishonesty, pressure and intimidation that occurs there on a regular basis.
They hire people to fill seats at events and also play scientologists in videos.
@@AngryGayPope I believe you but out curiousity, what's your source of information?
I feel like the audience was sweetened up because I can't imagine anyone screaming for such a terrible trash song. Maybe those culties danced to it over a decade ago but it's just so dated and lame.
This is the amazing grace of scientology!!!
does anyone know the name of the lead singer lol
Looks like they all drank the cool aid....
Just a mirror to our collective desire for charismatic messianic salvation cults borne of our deep feelings of human inadequacy. IMHO
They prey on rich insecure people.
She has a good voice to bad she’s wasting it there
Ho hum - hip, hip, hip.....just a bopping along.
Hip hip! Hooray!
I don't think most people know the origin of that phrase. If/when you get a chance, Google it. It may surprise you. 😂
Haha. This is so bad its great! “We stand tall” lol
Did they hire non members to sing that song?
Absolutely! And paid them very well!
This is so awkward I had to watch between my fingers with my hands over my face.
Shine Xenu shine
6:41 I wonder how many non scientologists they had to hire to fill all the seats.
Okay, so……. Key change 1 to 2; sure. But key changes three and four were not needed at all. Voice is so amazing I am so sad that she is stuck in a cult.
She may have blown by now (this was 2010) but since they don't give the performer's names we can't tell.
Hey Lolly la!!
It is addictive! The non-melody is addictive. Note how it becomes an "earworm."
Woooooooow... I ain't mad at the vibe, but woooooooow...
She has a beautiful voice!! Too bad.... Song sucked back in 1990 and it still sucks now....
Who is the girl singing lead vocals?
I don't know.
❤U, AGP!! Hope you are doing well! I❤️your sense of humor. You have great timing. Too bad this chick wasted her talent on this crap.
Thanks so much!
Kind of wild to realize she probably thinks this is being broadcast to millions of Scientologists worldwide.
Actually those events do get played, and replayed at sci events for years.
Beautiful song, gorgeous girl.
She can sing, but it's still crap music for brainwashing idiots.
This is where all their money and slave labor goes! They are able to put on these massive productions and build all these new headquarters and sea org bases and what not!
Where's Stacy Francis? 😂
I'm disappointed they didn't sing Bring It On.
I can’t watch all of this circus because of what I know of Scientology, but the lead singer is good. The choir robes? OMFG. Give me a break!
Omg these people are nuts.
Watching a train NOT wreck is boring.
If Scientology really is a religion then does that make this song a hymn?
Yes exactly! It was parodied by sat. nite live: ua-cam.com/video/fOpapeX6Vzs/v-deo.html
@@AngryGayPope Ah yes AGP, that fabulous hit Neurotolgy! I absolutely love that and the episode of South Park belittling the cult.
Lol at the "gospel" choir.
Rented.
Lead singer is sooooo hot
Not bad. But I think I would be pissed if I were an African American Christian. What's the choir in white have to do with Scientology?
The choir gives them a veneer of being a more mainstream religion.
@@AngryGayPopeif only it was that easy! :)
This is a beautiful song. Too bad it represents a horrible cult of psychotic oppressive con artists.
Not psychotic! Just deluded.
@@danielrose2482 Miscavige himself is at least a sociopath.
Are we to believe all these beautiful black people are Scienos?.,
They were rented for the occasion. It gives the cult a universal gloss as gospel choirs are very recognized as a religion in the US
Noticed they cut out the "hey-lolly-la". Guess they realized how dumb that sounded.
That is my favorite part!
Mariah Carey‘s Scientology rip off 😂
It's difficult to imagine there were NO gay or lesbian people in the black happyclappies, let alone in the entire auditorium.
They were all closeted.
@@AngryGayPope It shows just how broad-minded the cult has become that they actually allow a group of black gospel-singers into their midst. You can imagine them warmly accepting gay and lesbian people next when Little Dave discovers a stack of LRH's pronouncements on the subject in a concealed lavatory cistern on board the newly renamed USS Tom Cruise, and realise LRH was PRO gay and lesbian. The hastily-scribbled notes will be found stuffed inside a collection of gay porn magazines in a hole in the bathroom wall behind Ron's private lavatory.
The need to see a psychiatrist lol. All of them. I watched the Russia raid on their headquarters in Moscow. Makes me smile every time
Andy Smith the nazi reference? Lmmfao really? They aren't a religion they are a cult. One engaged in massive extortion, racketeering, and real estate fraud. You must be drinking the kool-aid or a member.. Either way its hilarious
I’m sure that choir was hired and trucked in.
Absolutely! See also the Inglewood Ideal Org opening.
@@AngryGayPope Thanks. How much do you think the choir members and other hired guns know about whom they are entertaining for? Would they be hired by an agency? I could imagine some “real” church choir members would not feel right singing for a non- Christian master or audience.
Pure cringe 😂
Uhg! This is just....yuck! I wonder if Captain Davy of the fake space navy still shows up to these events in person despite dodging process servers?
Yes he was at the Shrine this Dec. but at a big risk.
I prefer the original.
The original had more "stars" :)
Appealing to the people of colour who particularly like this singing style.
The song is kinda good actually
Apart from the evil brainwashing money grabbing cult bit.
Cringe, has Miscabbage written this song?
All that stuff about “golden age” in the new verses refers to things he did
While you waste your money just to clear your mind. You're been brainwashed sir.
It would be a nice song if it didn't represent Scientology, which then makes the song fake.
Little munchkin Miscavige had to get off the stage because it's hard to stand tall at just 4'11"!
The podium he stands behind is actually motorized and can go up and down to suit his size so he doesn't look like he cannot see over the thing!
I yield to the expert@@AngryGayPope . I should've guessed. Probably has a couple of tiny little remotes to activate it also, no?
They took out the lovely original harmonies and in my view destroyed the song.
I've cried myself to sleep many a night thinking just that! :)
DM genuis
Well, that was lame.
Try leaving the arena without giving them bux.
This isn't as good as the original not bad though.
It looks kind of 1980s doesn't it?
@@AngryGayPope POPE I must say I hate this version of this song there was nothing wrong with the Original. I miss bad sweaters and bad hair cuts
So I take it the singer's and dancers are hired by scientology and are not members
Yes
Thought so. They must feel terrified with the scientology zombies staring right at them.
No their wallets are fulL!
@@AngryGayPope That's so sad that they are hired...
Are they pandering to black people....
No they are renting Black people to look like a conventional religion with a long history like Southern Black gospel churches have.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
