When your whole class can‘t sing, but you still want to win the show.
I can't sing very well.
* Goes to choir with all the words printed on cardboard and uses it to sing. *
@@lord__pasta XD
lmfao
If my class would do that, we wouldn't win😂
And than imagine that they are the ones actually singing it 😂
"Did you have a part in the choir?"
*"JAH"*
Alright this is the best joke in this comment section hands down
That was stupid and I love it.
@@DRDynamyte_ UR PFP YESS
Reminds me of SB19 Justin xD
this is great
The fact that the tallest member is the one who has to bend down to do lord of lords and then the shortest person is jumping to reach the frequency that everyone else is holding their signs at is perfect
Ikr 🤣

@@theonewhoasked2474 thanks lel
"Reign" isn't really any shorter than "Ni" but they've cleverly set that 'monk' between to tall 'monks' to make the effect really pop. Many congratulations to the creators - this thing is just fun.
if you pay close attention you dan see those three guys are just 2 people stacked on top. at least the guys at the sides are
I know this probably started as a joke, but the fact they did such a good job made it even funnier.

Not the ones moving the signs with their feet, that is pure talent 😂😂
Also the short one jumping everyone their hands go up
There are two people lying on their stomachs behind the monks, with their hands out lifting the Lord signs with their hands
@@calliehershey4245 i didn't even notice them lol
People are hiding under their feet and behind the curtain, you can see one kids arms completely sticking out because he put his arm on the outside rather than under the robe. Can see their fingers holding the signs too, got confused how they were making that motion with their feet but easy to see if you look...
I’ve sung The Messiah many times but certainly never laughed a full belly laugh. Great performance by high school kids I believe!! BRAVO!!
They aren't moving them with feet, there is someone behind the curtain on their knees under the robe. You can see it if you look for it.
Why have I never seen this before, loved it!
The “King of kings - Lord of lords” part was just incredible..
That's the part they messed up on tho, third dude from the left in the front row made it say "king of shall" instead of "king of kings" because he flipped the sign the wrong way at around the 3:10 mark. The rest was relatively flawless if you don't count one of the guys on the right accidentally pointing his signs too far forward and showing the words when his arms relaxed and drooped down too far.
@@DrakeOola who cares if they messed up twice, that’s still really impressive, this is not an easy song, the fact they could do this at all with such a small group is very impressive
The music is fantastic. The words are so true and moving. I feel they used humour, not to mock this extraordinary composition, but to enhance it. And for me, at least, it worked.

Can't be completely perfect!
i COMPLETELY missed that 🤣 still very impressive tho 😃
the fact that she confidently use that text and start panicking later made it even funnier 😂
I prefer king of must.
There are so many little things that make this a true classic. Like how they didn't put the short person in the back row, and instead forced them to jump for the high notes, or how the only person who has to repeatedly bend down, even as their neighbors get to move signs on the ground with their fast, is the tallest. Beautiful.
there are people under the robes flipping the floor signs

This is like watching a lyric video but better. Absolutely entertaining to watch.
Shoutout to “of” basically doing toe touches the last half of the song.
Right? Their poor back lmao
His posture reminded me of hunchback in Notre dame
I know like e should get paid for doing that
that’s not what a toe touch is😅
'oof' the poor sou- back
Let's take a moment to appreciate how accurately they pulled and changed the cards...
I know right!!!
almost like they practiced
@@MultiFilmik exactly lol
You mean the entire point of the performance? Gotcha (and you meant “appreciate”)
@@fezzik7619 I fixed it. And thats what i meant. They practiced hard to get all those cards up at exactly the right time. That’s why I said we should appreciate it. Ya'll are seriously getting triggered for a comment I wrote a year ago.
This is hilariously genius and had me rolling. Their synchronization is just wholesome. Plus for that young short monk who jumps in high notes 🤣😆👏👏
The Sandpeople are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.
I love how they raise/lower the signs if the note is higher/lower
OMG I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT
They don't tho?
WOAH I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THAT

@@katrinat.3032 it looked like they were holding them with their toes

This is literally the whole class when we're too shy to perform.
Anime Slimez nah, that’s better described in silent shuffling back and forth and kind of clapping.
This is the ultimate "Me and the boys" answer when the girl thinks "He's probably cheating on me". Thank you Monks, for participating in this. You did it. You mad lads did it, even though it endangered your very sacred vows. I don't know how you could listen to that song without actually singing out loud, but you mad lads did it! The timing was on point. I know that had to be frustrating when first learning this. Mad props to everyone. Especially the smallest one there for his priceless jumps!
When a man wants subtitles, but isn't good at keeping pace:
What they brilliantly put together with the signs is what each of our lives should proclaim every day of the year! I am blessed this appeared in my recommendations. Ironically the best performance of Hallelujah is one where the actual performers DON'T sing! This is just another example of what the power of music is capable of, and that you don't need to sing to convey the same message. The time it took to prepare for this very performance I can say was well worth it. We'd love to see the Silent Monks go on tour to Pyongyang. I'd assure you, we'd welcome them with open arms, and let them do a concert with our very own Moranbong Band. It'd be the greatest thing ever performed in the DPRK
Imagine all karaoke vids are like this
mattockmaniac47 if they start making karaoke vids like this i will be more than satisfied

Yes i have. My class did this with cards
j-medlii I swear. We were trying to learn it. You miss one word, or miss one note and suddenly everyone is five lines ahead of you
RedNightmare 8387 I sung it for at least 4 years but then as soon as i got moved to alto i was so confused
Ivorian I was learning to sing it in alto but the tenors sat right behind me and they were loud as hell so I would memorize the tenor parts to because they were hollering in my ears all the time so if I fucked up on the alto line I could switch to tenor and no one could hear me enough
It never gets old to watch.

Hello brother
Brilliant!!!!! This is the most brilliant performance I've experienced. Thank you very much.
This is amazing. Every once in a while it will come up in my recommended and I always just stop and watch.
Always wondered what would happen if an order of monks under a vow of silence decided to form a choir....
And now I know. :)
Epic.
You are so right 👍
The Carthusians, the real-world equivalent to the idea of silent monks, don't have a complete vow, only a practice of silence as self-discipline. They do speak and chant while praying and when it is otherwise necessary.
They are allowed to speak for a short period of time after dinner or so....shortest concert in history that would be🙌
