Yesterday 5-4-07, was THE experience of a lifetime! Christmas came early in 2007, that's for sure! Here's the story. After seeing PS22's 5th grade chorus Tori-cover videos sent to Amos' P.R. peeps by Undented.com, Sony contacted us and invited us to sing for and with Tori!!
Here's Pt. 1. The kids sang Dragon and....... THEY BROUGHT TORI TO TEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE: This video has gone on to become one of the most viewed Tori Amos videos on KZread, and garnered the PS22 Chorus much attention, including write-ups in USA Today, The New York Daily News, the VH1 blog, and probably most notably on the Perez Hilton blog. Perez, the ultra-hilarious gossip blogger turned TV personality, is featuring Tori Amos in his upcoming VH1 DIVAS special that includes (among others) Gloria Estefan, Pink, Janet Jackson, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, and Chaka Khan!

I love the cyclic nature of this. Tori inspired Mr. B, Mr. B inspires his students, the students, in turn, inspired Tori and all of them inspire us. How cool is that? A person could do much worse with their life.
Oh, no. You've gone and made me weep like a child. How wonderful for all of you that this happened. You met your hero, Tori became one for the children, and Tori herself was able to experience the music she makes in a completely different way. This version is beautiful in an achingly poignant way.
It's got to be indescribable for her to stand there and listen to these children singing her song to her and know that she's reached them with her music.
I am a grown man and I am crying watching this. Thanks you for posting this.
Every time I watch this..and I have seen it many times over the years..I always tear up..especially when I see Tori tearing up too. Thank you Gregg and PS22 for the magic! =)
Oh gosh, I cried the MOMENT they started singing. You can tell Tori was moved too, it was very sweet.
I come back here to remember the magic and the beauty. Tori is a Leo with Scorpio Rising. Very private but feels deeply, and she was very moved by this. Thank you for the memories. 🌹
✨So incredible! I wish I had more time to listen to her stuff. Amazing talent
I'm a grown man and this video brings me to tears every time I watch it!!! A soon as the kids start singing dragon the tears start to come...
I cried when she cried!!! What a raw and amazing moment. How moving.
omg, I still cry every time... I love her, I so love her. And I also love you guys.
I can't stop watching. Tori has inspired you and in turn you have inspired so many children.
I'm beyond ecstatic that these kids have been introduced to Tori at such a young age.
Im named after her!!
this brought tears to my eyes, so beautiful. These kids bring inspiration
I am moved in many ways, but mostly by Mr. B. He is going to affect the course of many, many kids' lives during his career. He is just such a natural.. unique.. totally himself. What a lucky guy to know what his calling is and to do the work to make it happen. Not many are so lucky to truly know what they are meant to do...
I ran across the practice video first and started crying when I saw that...now I'm watching this and crying just watching Tori cry! This is so f'n beautiful! Really, one of my new favorite songs of hers.
I don't know how many time I've watched this...and every single time it never ceases to make me a bit emotional. Watching Tori's face as they sang "Dragon".
I'm speechless. I was just looking for unusual covers and found you. You're going to crowd my playlist a bit but I'm putting all four parts in to share with as many people as I can.
Very cool :) Tori has always been so generous and down-to-earth with her "ears with feet", this is lovely to see. And hear!!
I've watched this before but today...wow. I'm a little weepy watching Tori in this beautiful moment. You can feel the universe expand.
I can't believe this! Amazing! I would of died. I love when she sang with you all. Beautiful. I'm crying.
Look at Tori. She's crying, and so am I watching this! This is just amazing stuff..you must have such joy from teaching these kids these songs.
Tori is an incredible spirit.
aww that was so cute ! No wonder Tori cried, these kids are so moving ! Great singers !
It means so much to see her face when they sing. Knowing the story of Choirgirl, her struggles losing her own children, and how hard she's worked to be a good mother to her daughter, you can see the loss, the pain, and also the hope and love in her eyes when they sing. Really a beautiful moment. I feel so happy for her
Here I am again..crying my eyes out watching this. It has now become a tradition for me to watch this yearly..like an old friend. Simply the best..thanks Gregg and PS22! And we love you Tori!
Officially the most incredible thing ever.
omg it makes me cry and tori is so sweet and all..as are the kids!
About 2 minutes in....there's just something about a group of children singing "Stay with me...and i will bring kisses for the beast" that makes me deeply happy.
I love Mr. B's reaction to being in Tori's presence! And the kids snapping photos with their cell phones is great too :)
One of the nicest things I have seen in a long time.
This is the best thing I’ve ever watched in my life
These kids are so good! Beautiful!
This guy is an incredibly passionate and inspiring teacher. What a doll! Teacher of the Year!
!!!!oh my gosh. so special. i almost don't want to watch, it makes me feel jealous... but these children are great. watching tori be moved by their singing is just amazing. well done you guys.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL.I have no words for that
I love Tori...
made me cry *sniffles* there is just something about these kids which are so pure and untouched, which no other performer can really encompass. and they're so passionate and adorable!!!!!!!!
I've seen this video a bunch of times but upon revisiting, I can't keep my emotions in check. I have to stop for now because I'm at work and don't want to cry at my desk. So beautiful.
"De Bat (Fly In Me Face)" by Carly Simon. There's a complete version of them doing it posted as well. :)
I hope Tori works with you in the future, you are a wonderful teacher and your kids are so talented even I was moved to tears by your students. I really do hope if she makes a new album you and your kids be on her next album. I've always wanted to see her performing with children and I finally have and they were wonderful. Hope to see more of your talented kids in the future.
I cried when I watched this video. You are an amazing teacher. Those kids are so lucky to have you.
If you dont shed a tear. You are not human.
You guys rock! Thanks for sharing this with us all! Loves.
so amazing, brings me to tears. makes me feel so much hope for our future! Thanks for all that you are doing with the wonderful talented kids Mr. B- you are an inspiration!
"dragon" by tori amos....
what a beautiful gift!
I can't help crying everytime I watch this video...That was a magic moment!! I'm so happy that you and the kids got to meet Tori, I know how important it was to you, above all, and to the kids aswell. Touching, simply, touching!!
Bless Tori! You just know that it's her brother's spirit she feels when those children sing with an innocence and beauty which elevates the song to a whole new realm
Oh god i am so teary right now.
I can only imagine his and Tori's nerves gone awire!!!! Sure she plays and does interviews in front of thousands,,, but being put in front of children this way? Proud of her reaction.
lol... that's so cute how around 5:36 all the kids brought out their camera phones and started taking pictures of her.
This video is so amazing.... brought me to tears. You truly are amazing.
That is just so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
SO BEAUTIFUL!
this really is incredible!!! thank you for sharing it!!!
this is amazing.. good for you guys... so touching.i'm close to tears..
I hope somewhere along this plain we call life, that Tori Comes across this. She is the reason I took piano lessons. Her songs, gave me such a deep appreciation of the Piano, and really broadened my musical tastes. I hope she knows how much she has effected so many, in the same regard. Thank you for helping so many of us discover and explore music.
OH MY GOSH!!!!! I am just sobbing!!!
Once Tori started crying I totally lost it. I can clearly see why she was moved to tears. Tori is so amazing to her fans - and these kids are immaculate.
I love her hair there, it looks sooo beautiful!
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! This must have been absolutely amazing for Tori AND all of you guys! You did such a great job! To bring a bright light like Tori into the childrens heart, such an important service in the name of the universe!
Holla PS 22! You with Tori? Amazing. Brilliant. I love you all.
not too many songs bring tears to my eyes....maybe the combination of watching tori cry and the tenderness of the kids' voices....
how can you not tear up just a little. okay if there is a heaven, that guy is going.
simply breathtaking! these kids are sooo lucky to have a teacher who can truly teach them the healing powers of music. gregg you are one in a million.
Wow. This is REALLY amazing. What you do with those kids is really special. Even Tori herself acknowledged that! It also brought tears to my eyes. Keep up your amazing work (and keep on uploading the videos, so I can appreciate them here in Brazil :D).
I come over every now and then to watch this. And it brings me tears every time! =) I freakin' love Tori and I love these kids too!
This is just amazing!
this is truly amazing!!! leaves me speachless.
Oh my God. What a fantastic opportunity for both teacher & students, as well as Tori. What a wonderful video. The entire event is thrilling.
I cannot watch this without crying. Your chorus is composed of some phenomenally large voices. They're amazing! Little angels big talent! Love love! -K
God, these kids gave me the chills and made me weep right along Tori. Beautiful video, these children are amazing :')
Aw, this is so beautiful. I got all teary eyed.
You are so wonderful! I am happy for you, clearly a wish come true and much deserved. This is so beautiful! Make it happen baby!!!!!!
Now I like her even more...... What a good idea, and to hear Tori whit a chorus was awsome. Congratualations. I hope she does an album acapella whit chorus, that would be amazing. ( I think)
She must feel incomprehensible happiness. The whole concept and framework of American Doll Posse was to access a large demographic, not in a stereotypical commercial sense. The writing in this music enables access to a person on a human level "can you feel now what I'm talkin' about", and a component of that is she inspiring younger generations , Ruby. I would usually find it odd kids this young would like it. It affirms the healing qualities of Tori's work; I am inspired hearing them sing it.
holy mother! that was just FANTASTIC!!!
You got me crying too....GREAT!!!!!
You're a great teacher. This was just amazing!
This is the best thing ive found on youtube.
kids, i am crying. Thank you.
THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
There are no words! that was touching and beautiful, congratulations!
