Sitting here at 8am browsing through RUclips. Started with rock n roll,then to military reunions( a lot of tears there),then to crazy wedding dances(lots of smiles),then ended at this video.The ending was so moving for me.The people coming from everywhere to praise the Lord with this beautiful song.Just what I needed to warm my soul. This message isn't just for Christmas time, it's for ALL time. GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU
Watched all but the last second and loved it. Came here to perhaps leave a snarky remark but left with thanks to those involved with this beautiful expression.
Why do so many people have to criticize, it does not matter it they sing off key. The joy of this video is that they bring people together and share. All I ask of the people that do criticize, what do you do during the holidays to bring some kindness and joy in someones life, be it a young child or adult?
you ask unfairly 'what do you do during the holidays to bring kindness and joy?' ...well let me tell you right now james..I do absolutely nothing at all! :p
You're right. Why are some people sooo negative? I enjoyed. While they wouldn't win a prize at an international singing festival -- it was fun. And the singing was not super but it wasn't bad at all. More importantly, seeing and hearing it was well worth it. Let's just thank God that some people took the extra mile to sing, have fun and bring joy to others. OK?
This was absolutely heart warming along with a small tear. My mother use to say, if you can't say something nice then just keep quite. This is certainly a time for that. Have a Blessed Christmas & a Happy New Year
Oh my gosh ! I would not live anywhere else , but here with allnof my very beautiful and talented brother's and sister"s . So talented are Gods' children♥ I know he must have been smiling after that .
Wonderful presentation by a wonderful group of singers. Having said that there are a lot of unappreciative twits everywhere. Thanks for uploading. I enjoyed it very much.
i just liked it. okay, the title was misleading but i didnt watch it for the crowd response, i watched it because i love to see a little Christmas being brought to the "xmas" shopping.
I know Im a little late in posting here but after reading all the comments I just want to say...do you really need naked asses and cussing to enjoy something? If the title had just said older people singing a Christmas song in the Mall would you have watched? Im sure the answer is NO...These are people who just wanted to make a few peoples lives a bit brighter...I enjoyed it...had I been at the Mall I would have enjoyed it more..take some time and make someones life brighter!
But don't put it on RUclips with a description that is misleading. It was difficult to hear what they were singing and didn't use the camera or editing to take advantage of the location. As for sticking with it to the ending, they had nothing. The people involved were ill served by whoever videoed their performance. This was a flash mob with no spark.
OOOH!! PLEASE!! LETS ALL ENJOY THE "FLASH MOB" CREATION!!! ITS FUN!! ITS NEAT!! ITS SUPERB INDEED!! LOVED IT LOTS!!! DOES IT MATTER WHO SINGS??? OR WHAT PIGMENT THEY ARE??? ITS UTTERLY BORING COMMENTING ON SILLY THING'S AT THIS POINT!!!! ENJOY!! BRINGS ALOT OF SMILES SUREL??? THANKS TO WHO EVER CREATED "FLASH MOB". IT HAS BEEN FUN!!!!!!!!
Mr. Bewley - what does color have to do with it? Ms Taylor - I am amazed at your language!! When did that word become a household term? As for the video - I applaud anyone or group that attempts a flash mob - It is very uplifting. And to the negative comments - When did you do something like this? What is CHRISTMAS anyway?
Underwhelming, but basically because of the overhyped title. Folks looked like they were having fun & it was nice, but crowd wild, just how?! Here was a nice holiday one at the Smithsonian, with a livelier ending.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Flash mobs....never been to one in person tho, would love to. But the SURPRIZE ENDING was misleading.....Too difficult of a song to get a lot of participation. More popular type and happier type song like RUDOLPH THE REDNOSED Reindeer would have gotten a LOUDER and broader response...or DASHING THRU THE SNOW...JINGLE BELLS would have grabbed everyone for sure.........However I do give anyone CREDIT for attempting a FLASH MOB to begin with....would have helped if this one had a lot more voice and participation........Loved what I heard tho....MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.....especially 2015....Thanks!!
OK, & I waited to see the end, why? Failed to see the wild crowd. Nice singing but just looked like some people singing together in public and most folks were kind of like, "OK, why are these folks doing this?"
not to take anything away from the Christmas spirit cause these are nice. But really there was nothing extraordinary about this and what was there to look for at the ending ? I didn't see it. I seen much better emotional ones that grab you. So I agree with you
Jose Vasquez I know right?!! I thought something AWLSOME was gonna happen. It sounded really nice at the end when there voices blended in harmony but nothing SPECTACULAR!!
Well, if I may make a suggestion, you might consider looking around you. That might tell you who is with you. (Or should I phrase it "who you are with" damn prepositions and such, I can never tell).
Have friends of many faiths who've taken part in these.... The joy is sharing the music and hope-and if you're a Christian, doing as Christ did and asked of his followers: open your heart
Well, the way I see it, the ending is your, the viewers reaction. You either love it or hate it. Personally, I think it is a very special message for all year round.The greatest gift we'll ever have is Love! Spread it around!
"let us make the case for holiday. The word is obviously from holy day. Webster’s New World Dictionary says that holy means: “belonging to or coming from God.” "What is Christmas if not a day of God, i.e., a holy day-a holiday? What more appropriate greeting than to say, “I hope you have a day belonging to or coming from God, a day special and filled with the divine?” I think it’s nice of Wal-Mart to say this to us as we check out." ~ From "Pastor's Blog - Christmas is a Happy Holiday"
I found this title accurate; it says that you should see the end because the crowd goes crazy. I heard an awful lots of cheering and clapping at the end.
I agree with Roy Gould and others it seems. Don't bother watching. You don't have enough time to watch ALL the ones better than this. Get to them and enjoy.

Beautiful. These are our traditions. We must conserve them. If not the government will take them away from us...
I live down the road from this mall. Didn't know Rivertown ever had a Flash Mob. Beautiful.
God this was great!! In the middle of July!!! LOL
It's amazing where you get to from Lee Greenwood's *God Bless The USA!!!!*
The spirit of Christmas is everywhere!

James Plunkett James, you are a Wise man, God Bless and keep you. ✝❤
On my bucket list....to be in the same place as a Flashmob...
Great ! Loved it! But like when they are spread out and pop up to join in the singing !
This was absolutely heart warming along with a small tear. My mother use to say, if you can't say something nice then just keep quite.
This is certainly a time for that. Have a Blessed Christmas & a Happy New Year
well thats 4 mins of my life i will never get back. must see !!!! really
A favorite Christmas song--love your choice-nicely done.
Marie
Please. Fantastic vid till the end. It's Merry Christmas. Always has been and always will be. Thank you
The lady all the way to the right sings with pure, unadulterated joy. :)
I never knew what a flash mob was until a patron and friend sent me this video. I reacted to it. happy holidays!
Thank you for posting

Wonderful presentation by a wonderful group of singers. Having said that there are a lot of unappreciative twits everywhere. Thanks for uploading. I enjoyed it very much.
That was painful, but at least you warned me so that I could just skip to the end!
i just liked it. okay, the title was misleading but i didnt watch it for the crowd response, i watched it because i love to see a little Christmas being brought to the "xmas" shopping.
I thought it was awesome myself. I hope they do some more in the future. I would like to join one. How fun.
I thought this was very touching. I do have to stop chopping those damn onions when I watch stuff like this, though.
that was great, God bless you guys :)

+Sarah Widman I liked it and I didn't think it was even close to bad or very misleading.
Thank you
Great singing - wild crowd?
Beautiful 03-24-17 Oregon USA
Flash mobs are dancing... this was really sweet, though.
Love it!! Flash Mob not just for youth dancing :)
Only Christmas is powerful enough to move people. What does this tell you? We must be on the right side. A prosperous new year to all.
It's Merry Christmas!
Beautiful!! Love it :) :)
OOOH!! PLEASE!!
LETS ALL ENJOY THE "FLASH MOB" CREATION!!!
ITS FUN!!
ITS NEAT!!
ITS SUPERB INDEED!!
LOVED IT LOTS!!!
DOES IT MATTER WHO SINGS???
OR WHAT PIGMENT THEY ARE???
ITS UTTERLY BORING COMMENTING ON SILLY THING'S AT THIS POINT!!!!
ENJOY!!
BRINGS ALOT OF SMILES SUREL???
THANKS TO WHO EVER CREATED "FLASH MOB".
IT HAS BEEN FUN!!!!!!!!
Awesome...
Haters be gone it was amazing
Very nice.
That was awesome, I helped build that mall.
i live in the metro-detroit area, and i would love to be a part of one of these. so awesome!
By the way the camera work on this flash mob videos are really good.
THIS is fellowship!
Only some days more than 6 month and then we will have the next Christmas - Evening..:)
I can hardly wait...:(
Not happy holiday!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
I LOVE THAT
wow....the crowed went so crazy.-.
er did i miss the crazy ?
Mr. Bewley - what does color have to do with it?
Ms Taylor - I am amazed at your language!! When did that word become a household term?
As for the video - I applaud anyone or group that attempts a flash mob - It is very uplifting.
And to the negative comments - When did you do something like this?
What is CHRISTMAS anyway?
I'm still waiting for the crowd to go crazy
Underwhelming, but basically because of the overhyped title. Folks looked like they were having fun & it was nice, but crowd wild, just how?! Here was a nice holiday one at the Smithsonian, with a livelier ending.
Agreed.
The big guy in the blue anorak. What a superb voice. Who is he?
What passes for "going crazy" in Grand Rapids in 2010 is quite mild compared to anywhere USA today. The lead singer was very good, though.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Flash mobs....never been to one in person tho, would love to. But the SURPRIZE ENDING was misleading.....Too difficult of a song to get a lot of participation.

I just adore a barely audible performance, don't you?
OK, & I waited to see the end, why? Failed to see the wild crowd. Nice singing but just looked like some people singing together in public and most folks were kind of like, "OK, why are these folks doing this?"
Do you have his birth certificate? I love people like you.
Title doesn't fit but still awesome!
The hype is just to get us to watch the whole video. It's pleasant enough but nothing to hype about .... seriously people ; get real; be honest !
not to take anything away from the Christmas spirit cause these are nice. But really there was nothing extraordinary about this and what was there to look for at the ending ? I didn't see it. I seen much better emotional ones that grab you. So I agree with you
Jose Vasquez I know right?!! I thought something AWLSOME was gonna happen. It sounded really nice at the end when there voices blended in harmony but nothing SPECTACULAR!!
Perhaps it was the "Happy Holidays" and not wishing all a "Merry Christmas"? at the end. Otherwise what ending?
God bless us everyone! ;_;
eh ` I say Happy Holidays ..and on Christmas I say Merry Christmas ...Holidays Start on Thanksgiving til new years
What I hate about these 'flash mobs' is the footage of all the people with their cell phones raised filming. Who's with me?
Well, if I may make a suggestion, you might consider looking around you. That might tell you who is with you. (Or should I phrase it "who you are with" damn prepositions and such, I can never tell).

What was so fantastic about that. Nothing to write home about, just a group of people singing, so what.
Obviously you don't hear what they hear.
if yoou're going to put "the best" or "the greatest" or MUST SEE" or any of those other words to get people to view your video please make sure it IS!
Ditto
Agreed
It was the best. To them.
Wow to all the critics out there. just wow :(
If only Islam could learn that Flash mobbing works better than flash bombing.
+capie44 Lol, exactly.
Have friends of many faiths who've taken part in these.... The joy is sharing the music and hope-and if you're a Christian, doing as Christ did and asked of his followers: open your heart
No need to hype it up. Just sharing the video is enough.
Thanks for the comment. Me too. Check out our "Merry Christmas Stores" video.
TWO YEARS AGO TODAY THIS HAPPENED!!!!! :D
I've heard crazier audiences!
Did I see James Msalskis in this video along with some of my other fellow chorus brothers?
isleading title but nice singing!
Um... why would you take a relatively pleasant thing like this and ruin it with that misleading hype in the title?
Well, the way I see it, the ending is your, the viewers reaction. You either love it or hate it. Personally, I think it is a very special message for all year round.The greatest gift we'll ever have is Love! Spread it around!
What ending? Nothing special I saw.
crazy my arse!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS ? Isn't it "MERRY CHRISTMAS" ?

Thank God I forwarded to the end and wasn't made to sit through the whole thing with false advertising

thumbs down because of the title...
