James, you have never been so enamored with a guest. She is worthy of every second of praise and admiration she has EARNED through intelligence, humor, and humility. What a breath of fresh air!
@@beverleyreid8258 i see someone else thinks the world of her. 22 years old and talks with wisdom of an elderly professor. Not to mention that she's sooo pretty. ✌
She’s only 22 and her words and they way she presents herself seems like she has gone thru a whole lifetime of public speaking and stuff. She’s a natural!
Ancestral spirit, annointed by God spirit, loving spirit, creative spirit, nurturing spirit. It's in us! It's just been oppressed so long we lost it. She's our maverick! The opposite of white supremacist oppression, hate and superiority. Stop feeding the monsters and let them die. Simple!
I stand with you. Luke 17 The kingdom of GOD is within. Each person with GODs gift that has been suppressed. I wrote this 4 yrs ago when the Prime Minister of New Zealand was elected. I knew she was going to bring Justice for all...My statement then was as I wept 'setting captives free'

I am 37 years old and have seen many inagurations. I have seen Maya Angrlou speek, I was never brought to tears before. Amanda Gorman was and is amazing.
Awesome interview James… As an English man, sat at home in the UK, watching the inauguration, I have never been so moved in all of my 53 years as I was by the words of Amanda Gorman. After her amazing words and performance, as I reflected, I experienced an almost palpable feeling of warmth and healing…
We discussed her poem, her poise, and her powerful example in the chemistry class I taught today. My students had all seen it and were more excited than I have seen them in a very long time. Totally worthwhile tangent...I'm proud of them.
She is lovely, her grace, her inner beauty and love for humanity matches her outer beauty. 22 years old and already changing the world, her family must be beaming with pride. She truly personified the ‘pen is mightier than the sword’

What a precious gift this young woman has! Not anyone can express their feelings and thoughts, let alone write them with such mastery. Congratulations!
When God shows up, He really shows up. A woman brought peace into this world before, and I believe it will be a woman who brings peace into this world again.
She was truly magnificent. Not just the words, but her poise and maturity. And think about it -- in America, which suffered for four years under the yoke of a dumbed-down anti-intellectual philistine. a POET has become a national hero and a pop-culture celebrity. That bodes as well for the future as anything else that happened yesterday. ". . . For while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us. . ."
Such an incredible young woman. She seems like an old soul since she is SO mature and talented at such a young age. Can’t wait to see what is next for her. Thank you for your gift to all of us Amanda.
I love how she doesn't shy away from big things, I love how confident she is, how she doesn't sink into uncertainty when someone says she could be president. I love her!
@@carlamendieta8403 When Maya Angelou recited her "On the Pulse of Morning" at the 1993 inauguration, it would be another five years before Amanda Gorman's birth.
I’ve never met a person that knows how to use words in such a beautiful way , express herself, her thoughts, her feelings so beautifully. She lifts my heart, she fills me with hope and she brightens my mood after four years of darkness. The fact that the Biden’s invited her to perform says it all and tells us who our new president is and that’s fantastic.
I did not feel 4 years of darkness, because I did not pay attention to all the negative, media hype. I feel more negative now, because I have seen my Dem Governor, basically crash, and burn our state, and Biden is spending our tax dollars like there is no tomorrow. Very scary!

My goodness, yes. Lost amid the debates on school reopenings is a subject that has too long been underplayed -- if not ignored -- in discussions about education in America: the arts. The quest for truth and beauty is an integral part of our humanity. We starve our children's souls if we don't introduce them to this quest early on. Even on a more prosaic level, the arts can be lifelines for children: Theater, music, and other performing arts can help teach us to work together, to support and assist one another, to celebrate life by gathering together -- all essential pieces of what it means to be human. Now, though, whether they're staring into screens at home or [anti-]social distancing and muzzled with masks at school, children aren't getting that. Not all toxins are physical, nor is all death. The human spirit, along with our physical and economic well-being, needs cultivation and nurturance. Please, let's bring the arts back to "center-stage" in our discussions about education policy and funding.
This is the true America, the America that so many people around the world fall in love with. She was so amazing and an inspiration to so many young people around the world.
This is one brilliant person. Not American exceptionalism. The former is a good force, the latter not so much. To really move forward in any endeavour, there has to be a clear view of the actual status of things, as well as a vision for the future. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but too often, the two are mixed or confused.
@LivB..."American exceptionalism" is why people have wanted to come to the U.S., and many people are successful. Amanda herself, as well a millions of other's show this.
@lifegoeson...We are strong, and hopeful. We are not going to do a good job of being 'united' if people keep pushing extreme leftist, and extreme right crap on people.
@@serpentines6356 You know as much as I did not like him, he did one good thing. He made us know all the hypocrites in the GOP and that was a good thing. We should use it to weed out the bad apples.
Thank you, Dr. Jill Biden, for introducing Amanda Gorman to the world. What an inspiration she is and when she does turn 37 I sincerely hope she does consider running for President of the United States. At the age of 22, a Harvard graduate and the youngest Poet Laureate ever...wow, just think what the next 15 years of accomplishments she can achieve. It's mind blowing and truly, the world is her oyster.
Her poem was the highlight of yesterday's inauguration (other than Bernie Sanders' mittens!) Seriously though, what a beautiful brilliant voice. Much love and admiration from italy
She is absolutely magnificent. Every time she speaks she has everyone enraptured by her words of hope. Amanda is the therapy all of America needs after the last four years of trauma.
I am not in to poetry but I when I saw and heard her saying the poem, at the end I was speechless and i was like whooooaaaaa this was so deep, incredibly and powerful. Stunning young woman
@Richard Pierpoint - “Wise beyond her years” is a reference to her youth, which is almost always accompanied with beauty. I know a 6 year old who is wise beyond his years...but it doesn’t make him a good poet.
I'd translate that kids' book into Finnish, for free, just to get to chat with her about the quirks and nuances of her words and thoughts. What a humble and humbling young superstar.
If this is the way kids around the world black and white, rich or poor, (and she isn't a kid anymore, she is 22) are being brought up the world will be a better place in the next generation.
If we cultivate our youth invest, in education and opportunity, we have a lot of very brilliant young people in America and around the world but we have forgot that they are truly our best and only hope for a better tomorrow and to improve life on this planet.
@@letticecorless5520 Bang on. Amanda is half my age, half as half-witted, and I feel much safer around her than any of "my own," i.e., badly aged white dudes. Jonathan, the next generation has a very low bar to hop over and youngsters like Thunberg and Eilish make me weirdly hopeful.
This young woman is truly special. I just realised that even with as many interviews that she has been giving, she always shares something new. So you don't feel like you're watching the exact interview time and again.
There is this feeling inside myself, hearing and seeing this lady, that style, intelligence, optimism and beautiful words and sentences are back. It gives me more positive feeling about the future. She is a great person and will be an even greater in the future. This is a future leader.
DR BIDEN SCORES BIG TIME! If that is the kind of brilliance that our First Lady will be bringing to us. I can’t wait! So happy about what will come. ❤️❤️👏
@@elizabethstuart8401 good call Dr Biden. But who wouldn’t choose Garth to sing? He’s always the best. My favorites are thunder rolls and rodeo, but not good choices for an inauguration.
Listening to Amanda Gorman, you cannot but see the stark difference in standards between her and Trump's Kayleigh (Barbie) McEnany, both from Harvard. You get this feeling that one got there by her own merits, the other, I suspect, just like the Orange Buffon, got someone to sit for her SATS. It's like chalk and cheese. Harvard, Amanda just redeemed your reputation. Ms. Gorman is the real deal!
I watched the inauguration yesterday and found Amanda's poem completely and utterly captivating, it spoke of hope on many different levels and after a year that has been horrific around the World...not just in the US...it shone a light, albeit a small one, at a very dark time. Oh, and I loved this clip...it was difficult to tell who was more awestruck at times to be in the presence of the other, that is a recipe for a brilliant interview.
She’s had a busy day with many interviews, with her words of hope. She’s brilliant and lovely and I’m Crazy over her. I want to hear more of her poems. The Inauguration was more amazing because of her contribution. She was the highlight for me.
She's such an inspiring person! I loved her poem. I remember she left quite an impression back in May when John Krasinski was doing his youtube show and Oprah joined the zoom call. I see brilliance, excellence and positivity radiate from her, she's gonna go places and the world is already better for it!
I'm 65 y.o. Poetry for me has been Robert Frost, until yesterday when I witnessed Amanda Gorman deliver "The Hill We Climb". Now I realize that it is doubtful I will be alive to witness the tremendous things this incredible person will accomplish in the course of her life. That thought deeply saddens me.
That's why he's one of my favorite hosts cuz it seems like he gets more giddy about intellectuals and people he can have a conversation with and try to understand then he does a celebrity.
The nobel laureate of literature of my island St.Lucia, who has passed on had a birthday yesterday. His soul must be in joy listening to this young poet. She is an inspiration ...she makes me see the validity in my work in speech, and reading and building of confidence by using the arts. Thank you James and Amanda. Peace and Love for the new year
YES. At her young age, to have the sheer power of knowledge, esteem, grace and thankfulness ... all that we have missed in the last 4 years. She represents SO much goodness in our future. Amen to Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is our voice, for all the words we try to say, but don’t get right, she found the words to show how collectedly we feel but can’t or don’t know how to express or say them, her words are OURS.
Words matter 💞 Amanda’s Plight, Fight to Become, Visualizing to Feel, Soulful, Reverence! A-Glorious Poem, in Reflection for Purpose, etc... Her Poem, songlike in rhythm, Embodied her Mind, Her Soul, Her Body, Her Hands, Her portraying Fingers! Her Chosen Words, Her thoughts expressed, in so much Message!! Poetic Recitation, that made my mind so happy with hope, insight, and A deeper wider expansion of perplexities, in deep intelligence, going forward in this vastly complex world, with juxtapositions of past, present and future considerations!! Blending to synthesizing in a reality that has so many bases, for and of the people!!!! Your Sunny Yellow coat, the band of red atop your intricate braided crown, your petite stature, In Your Gigantic Poem!!!!!! Your words were heard! They soooo Mattered! At our time now! Words to Savior into our United States and The World Forever! Bravo!!!!
@@lenaprice6239 The only Disrespectful person here is you. Rather than seeing my comment as a message of admiration, you decide to pick out one word you don’t like. All you have done is shown everyone that your just a HATER and a internet KAREN. In what world do you live in that calling a female a girl is offensive. GET A LIFE!
This young girl is American's light and future. She has shown to Americans and the world that, there's always hope to overcome our differences and make this world a better place. God bless her.
Wow, 6 years younger than me, but making history and being a part of it as well. This is one of those moments where I'm truly proud to be an American. When I first watched her recite that powerful poem, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't stop tearing up, I couldn't stop shouting "YES!!!!". Truly inspiring!
I'm in Denmark and I LOVED seeing her recite that poem 💙. My Mum who's blind called me and said, that the poem was her favorite thing of the ceremony 🤗. She was also very moved by the President's speech, but LOVED the poem.
I teared up when she told the story ending with not wanting to be those two black girls getting caught for trespassing to give James a hug. I've never had the balls to be who I know I am because of the colour of my skin, I try to not stick out blend in and be a quiet success because if I'm too loud they'll take me out because I'm too brown.
@M M Apparently, irony is lost on you, because life is full of cliches, which is why they exist. You're entitled to your opinion, but to say that it wasn't good, is disingenuous of you and frankly, it shows your inability to recognize individuality and freedom. Poetry is about self-reflection, expression, sharing, promoting, and indelibility and she mastered that perfectly.
@M M You clearly missed my point and you're struggling too hard to dissect her work due to your inability to accept differences. Who rejected your writings? Apparently, someone relevant to you has never encouraged you to be original. It's very unfortunate, but you have such a negative disposition and an even more negative future, if you don't remove the black shades from your mind that are blocking your blessings.
So glad you had her on the show! A born National Treasure! She's just so great, it was wonderful to watch this interview and I cannot Wait to see what she creates next. Love!!
I am, and have been, totally enthralled by this phenomenal young lady for a week now. I have literally watched and listened to her poem repeatedly since the inauguration, as I just can't get enough of it. She's absolutely dazzling and to know she's overcome a speech impediment is just... I have no words! As a man who used to have a severe stuttering problem when I was a teenager and into my early 20's, I just can't imagine the strength it took for her to do this. There just aren't enough adjectives to describe her wonderfulness. She has an incredible future and I can't wait to donate to her presidential campaign! WOW!!
While I was listening to her, I was thinking about those who stormed the Capitol. It is so sad that those people call themselves the American patriots. This wonderful young woman gave so many people joy and hope. What can they give? Only hatred.
Absolutely lovely. Not only Amanda who cannot be praised enough, but just to watch James Cordon so excited, I was afraid he would slip off the edge of his seat every time was so much joy! Thank you for this moments!
In the last few weeks, Amanda has really become one of my largest inspirations. I've already memorized The Hill We Climb, I've binge watched every RUclips video or interview she's in, I've read so many of her extraordinary poems, and I even ordered her book. I love this woman.
Like President Biden overcoming a stutter, here we see one of the most vibrant young voices who spoke so eloquantly despite the former challenges. Good stuff, and great choice by Team Biden.
It's amazing how the Lord takes our weaknesses, our shortcomings, and failures and displays " His Perfect Strength " to us. What an exchange!!!!! No matter what anyone may say or how things look in the natural realm, God is at work. Sometimes during our dark days, God may seem to be so far away. But actually, He is closer when we are " in the valley of the shadow of death." He never stops working in our lives, for He always gives us " beauty for ashes." During this pandemic, He has spoken to our hearts through many touching songs, dances, and poems and other types of writings. In this clip, He used Amanda Gorman to breathe healing, rebuilding, and " Hope" into our atmosphere. He, indeed, is a mighty God.
James, you have never been so enamored with a guest. She is worthy of every second of praise and admiration she has EARNED through intelligence, humor, and humility. What a breath of fresh air!

@@Flipper86 Fine. Bring the Main Poet Laureate and let's see who kills it the most then. Talk about friendly competition
Her poem was the highlight of yesterday's inauguration (other than Bernie Sanders' mittens!) Seriously though, what a beautiful brilliant voice.
Much love and admiration from italy
Ya but a man who can rock mittens is a rare breed 😂😂
Bernie is a treasure ❤️
@@LaughingSaint66 :gotta love Bernie
I have ordered Bernie's mittens too
She is absolutely magnificent. Every time she speaks she has everyone enraptured by her words of hope.
Amanda is the therapy all of America needs after the last four years of trauma.
Wow, even in her normal conversation, she sounds poetic. What an amazing talent.
As a teacher I’m so proud of this accomplished young lady and as a mum I’m just so damn excited for her future!
She’s so brilliant, such an inspiring young leader, she has my vote!
Mine too.
She captured the entire world... This inauguración, even though was without a traditional attendance, felt really like one of the best ever...
I am not in to poetry but I when I saw and heard her saying the poem, at the end I was speechless and i was like whooooaaaaa this was so deep, incredibly and powerful. Stunning young woman
I almost forgot I could cry without experiencing pain, her poem was so inspiring 💗
Wise beyond her years. Among Americas great poets and word-smiths.
Magnus - Haven’t we heard all this before? Kind of interesting that her age and “beauty” comes up more than the “poem” itself.
@Richard Pierpoint - “Wise beyond her years” is a reference to her youth, which is almost always accompanied with beauty. I know a 6 year old who is wise beyond his years...but it doesn’t make him a good poet.
I'd translate that kids' book into Finnish, for free, just to get to chat with her about the quirks and nuances of her words and thoughts. What a humble and humbling young superstar.
That would be AWESOME !😍
If this is the way kids around the world black and white, rich or poor, (and she isn't a kid anymore, she is 22) are being brought up the world will be a better place in the next generation.
If we cultivate our youth invest, in education and opportunity, we have a lot of very brilliant young people in America and around the world but we have forgot that they are truly our best and only hope for a better tomorrow and to improve life on this planet.
@@letticecorless5520 Bang on. Amanda is half my age, half as half-witted, and I feel much safer around her than any of "my own," i.e., badly aged white dudes. Jonathan, the next generation has a very low bar to hop over and youngsters like Thunberg and Eilish make me weirdly hopeful.
@@MonsieurSkeep I can quote you on that! What a queen this young lady is. Gives hope for the future even up here in the cold north.
Man... Amanda Gorman... what an unbelievable talent she has to get the right words across - I love this kid! LOVE
I’m so starstruck after watching. So much poise and confidence. Ananda is a vivacious intelligent role model for young women. Can’t wait to see more.
Please have her on again. She’s such a gift!
This young woman is truly special. I just realised that even with as many interviews that she has been giving, she always shares something new. So you don't feel like you're watching the exact interview time and again.
There is this feeling inside myself, hearing and seeing this lady, that style, intelligence, optimism and beautiful words and sentences are back. It gives me more positive feeling about the future. She is a great person and will be an even greater in the future. This is a future leader.
True words
Whenever one feels hopeless about the future, play this video and the sun will shine in your heart.
DR BIDEN SCORES BIG TIME! If that is the kind of brilliance that our First Lady will be bringing to us. I can’t wait! So happy about what will come. ❤️❤️👏
Dr.Biden is also the reason Garth Brooks was there.
@@elizabethstuart8401 good call Dr Biden. But who wouldn’t choose Garth to sing? He’s always the best. My favorites are thunder rolls and rodeo, but not good choices for an inauguration.
Exactly what I was thinking. Dr Biden made a great choices
Listening to Amanda Gorman, you cannot but see the stark difference in standards between her and Trump's Kayleigh (Barbie) McEnany, both from Harvard. You get this feeling that one got there by her own merits, the other, I suspect, just like the Orange Buffon, got someone to sit for her SATS. It's like chalk and cheese. Harvard, Amanda just redeemed your reputation. Ms. Gorman is the real deal!
@@franko1904 oh, so right! One is the shade the other the light.
At her young age of 22, she's so articulate and brilliant with her words. She's going to go so far in this world. God bless you Amanda Gorman.
A hero of our generation. Fund the arts. Support young black girls. Encourage gen Z.
I know! I just want to bake her some cookies! What a sweet young lady!
This is what a young strong black woman looks like ! Who has had strong intelligent women guide her. Unlike the twerking semi naked ones
How about support all girls?
Not only black.
And STEM. Artists and Scientists are needed today. ❤
@@GS-kl4un oh get over urself
“Let yourself be a vessel for the poem” ❤️ spoken like a true artist and a wise human being.
I watched the inauguration yesterday and found Amanda's poem completely and utterly captivating, it spoke of hope on many different levels and after a year that has been horrific around the World...not just in the US...it shone a light, albeit a small one, at a very dark time. Oh, and I loved this clip...it was difficult to tell who was more awestruck at times to be in the presence of the other, that is a recipe for a brilliant interview.
Well structured message, you made my day.
She’s had a busy day with many interviews, with her words of hope. She’s brilliant and lovely and I’m Crazy over her. I want to hear more of her poems. The Inauguration was more amazing because of her contribution. She was the highlight for me.
She's such an inspiring person! I loved her poem. I remember she left quite an impression back in May when John Krasinski was doing his youtube show and Oprah joined the zoom call. I see brilliance, excellence and positivity radiate from her, she's gonna go places and the world is already better for it!
I knew I’d seen her on something else - it was some good news! Thanks.
She sucks>>>
@@myway3343 o
I'm 65 y.o. Poetry for me has been Robert Frost, until yesterday when I witnessed Amanda Gorman deliver "The Hill We Climb". Now I realize that it is doubtful I will be alive to witness the tremendous things this incredible person will accomplish in the course of her life. That thought deeply saddens me.
Well said bro. Stay blessed. Love from Bangladesh
Same here
Also this is the most star studded I think I've ever seen Corden! He genuinely seems SO EXCITED for this interview
Right! He almost cant stay in his seat!
@@LADYLINKA 🤣👍 i was waiting for him to slip down and fell off the seat....
That's why he's one of my favorite hosts cuz it seems like he gets more giddy about intellectuals and people he can have a conversation with and try to understand then he does a celebrity.
Anderson Cooper was pretty starstruck as well.
She's a vessel that will help reunite not only America, but the World!
Agreed. Amanda G for 2036!!
Barf!
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 Troll...just giving you the attention you so desperately crave.
blah, blah, blah!!! you dummycrats thought the same thing about Greta!!!!!
@@maturefitness3786 -- Ah, another troll. Appears you're guilty of false advertising: not so mature at all.
Such an amazingly talented, humble and truly inspirational young lady.
Amanda Gorman has given the world hope. Incredible.
This is what empathy for all human beings is. It's also why art and creativity matters as much as science, maths, history, languages.
that poem is the start of the USA healing. what a woman
Well said
Well said indeed my friend
She sucks>>>
@@myway3343 How would you know?
GOOD COMMENT - LETS GIVE THID COMMENT 1K LIKES
The nobel laureate of literature of my island St.Lucia, who has passed on had a birthday yesterday. His soul must be in joy listening to this young poet. She is an inspiration ...she makes me see the validity in my work in speech, and reading and building of confidence by using the arts. Thank you James and Amanda. Peace and Love for the new year
I've listened to her poetry at the inauguration at least 10x and have been reading about her and am more enamored with each phenomenal thing I learn.
Same here!
I am voting for her to be president. 💯💯💯💯
THEY NEED AN IQ-TEST FOR PEOPLE VOTING
Too LATE! NOTHING and no one could be worse than what we just had in OFFICE...EVER.
YES. At her young age, to have the sheer power of knowledge, esteem, grace and thankfulness ... all that we have missed in the last 4 years. She represents SO much goodness in our future. Amen to Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@margaretwilliams7658 EVER .
@@bluedetroit68 couldn’t have said that better even if I really tried . 😊
She is our voice, for all the words we try to say, but don’t get right, she found the words to show how collectedly we feel but can’t or don’t know how to express or say them, her words are OURS.
I agree! So inspiring & eloquent, what a light in these dark times. She really is a beacon of hope!
James, leaping out of his skin with adoration! Well, I'm right there with you, Brother. She's fantastic. Gorman 2036!
Amanda is unapologetically a queen
Queen Amanda, the world is now YOUR Oyster! Never stop searching for life's Hidden Pearls. WE ARE! Very Proud of YOU! ⚘
Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, spoke the words that exist in all our hearts...
True, true, true
Yes she did!!!
That's the job of poetry - to capture in words the things we all recognise and feel but may not know how to express.
She is giving us all hope...as a Canadian disheartened and heartbroken about the last four years in America...she is a shining light.
This young lady should be an inspiration to us all
She is inspiring people all over the world
I wouldn't be surprised to see her hosting stuff. She has that smoothiness (wit+grace) that great hosts have.
Amanda Gorman is such a lovely person! She is so well-deserving of her title, Poet Laureate!
Amanda is the daughter of my 6th grade english teacher !
@@Kevin-ct1id - Lucky you! Bet you're going to give your english teacher a bit more respect. She made a Poet Laureate! You could be her next ...
She sucks>>>
I agree!
@@Kevin-ct1id wow!! Very cool!!
She is incredible and her message was so so important at this time & especially to all the young people out there, well done Amanda 💗☘️☘️
She’s got great charm and unique style. Very encapsulating. Her take on life and of the present, is defining & necessary for the moment.
Such poise and exuberance. What a contrast we saw USA under Trump. Way to go, Amanda. Love & kisses from Malaysia.
What an idiot!
If you are so delighted with a poem why mention Trump?
G S he was comparing them chill out...we all know trump is not the greatest but you don’t need to call people names
She is a ray of sunshine,she's what the world needed to hear and so eloquently spoken,blessings
Words matter 💞
Amanda’s
Plight,
Fight to Become, Visualizing to Feel, Soulful, Reverence!
A-Glorious Poem, in Reflection for Purpose, etc...
Her Poem,
songlike in rhythm, Embodied her Mind,
Her Soul,

Her Hands,
Her portraying Fingers!
Her Chosen Words, Her thoughts expressed, in so much Message!!
Poetic Recitation, that made my mind so happy with hope, insight, and
A deeper wider expansion of perplexities, in deep intelligence, going forward
in this vastly complex world, with juxtapositions of past, present and future considerations!!
Blending to synthesizing in a reality that has so many bases, for and of the people!!!!
Your Sunny Yellow coat, the band of red atop your intricate braided crown, your petite stature,
In Your
Gigantic Poem!!!!!!
Your words were heard!
They soooo Mattered!
At our time now!
Words to Savior into our United States and The World Forever! Bravo!!!!
22 year old girl and a sensational poet . THIS IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. 🙏🙏🙏
Why do people keep describing her as a "girl" and not a woman, she's 22! Very disrespectful on your part.
@@lenaprice6239 The only Disrespectful person here is you. Rather than seeing my comment as a message of admiration, you decide to pick out one word you don’t like.
All you have done is shown everyone that your just a HATER and a internet KAREN.
In what world do you live in that calling a female a girl is offensive. GET A LIFE!
@Dee Sabir She is a 22 year old Harvard University Graduate.
@@lenaprice6239 I tend to call all people under 30 "boys" and "girls" and that's not meant disrespectful at all.
This young girl is American's light and future. She has shown to Americans and the world that, there's always hope to overcome our differences and make this world a better place. God bless her.
Wow, 6 years younger than me, but making history and being a part of it as well. This is one of those moments where I'm truly proud to be an American. When I first watched her recite that powerful poem, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't stop tearing up, I couldn't stop shouting "YES!!!!". Truly inspiring!
Beautiful said 🙌🙌🙌🙌🎉🌹
I'm in Denmark and I LOVED seeing her recite that poem 💙. My Mum who's blind called me and said, that the poem was her favorite thing of the ceremony 🤗. She was also very moved by the President's speech, but LOVED the poem.
this interaction between Amanda and James is so wholesome i cant 🥺
she's so lovely omg, I'm not even american, but she got my vote for president
U sound like minded so u have time to immigrate. Welcome
It's true...the world is getting dumber
I teared up when she told the story ending with not wanting to be those two black girls getting caught for trespassing to give James a hug. I've never had the balls to be who I know I am because of the colour of my skin, I try to not stick out blend in and be a quiet success because if I'm too loud they'll take me out because I'm too brown.
Damn! That's so sad. Please find a way to express yourself. You should not be quiet.
2lemons LRG - representation matters💕. Be your true authentic self so that it motivates other young black girls to do the same.
Wow👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽me too.😘
Just be your true self and NEVER BE AFRAID!!!!💜👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
God bless, be brave.
I see her prominently in our future that includes hope and all that is good.
An inspiration for women of color as is Vice President Kamala Harris.
Well said, true words
Damn straight!
An inspiration for women and little girls of all color
kamala harris is evil and actually evil, not just having different oppinions than me
@@debracunningham603 agreed I'm white and republican and I love her she's very talented ❤
I can not imagine the hole that rest inside of your body and spirit to dislike this video. You really need to check yourself.
It's PR nonsense. If it balances it out, I disliked the Captain Tom hysteria too.
@M M Apparently, irony is lost on you, because life is full of cliches, which is why they exist. You're entitled to your opinion, but to say that it wasn't good, is disingenuous of you and frankly, it shows your inability to recognize individuality and freedom. Poetry is about self-reflection, expression, sharing, promoting, and indelibility and she mastered that perfectly.
@M M You clearly missed my point and you're struggling too hard to dissect her work due to your inability to accept differences. Who rejected your writings? Apparently, someone relevant to you has never encouraged you to be original. It's very unfortunate, but you have such a negative disposition and an even more negative future, if you don't remove the black shades from your mind that are blocking your blessings.
@M M your comment wasn’t good either!
So glad you had her on the show! A born National Treasure! She's just so great, it was wonderful to watch this interview and I cannot Wait to see what she creates next. Love!!
This and the speech inspired me more than anything hasin a long time. Love from Canada ❤️ keep using your beautiful voice
Lol i love how excited James was to talk to her.
I am, and have been, totally enthralled by this phenomenal young lady for a week now. I have literally watched and listened to her poem repeatedly since the inauguration, as I just can't get enough of it. She's absolutely dazzling and to know she's overcome a speech impediment is just... I have no words! As a man who used to have a severe stuttering problem when I was a teenager and into my early 20's, I just can't imagine the strength it took for her to do this. There just aren't enough adjectives to describe her wonderfulness. She has an incredible future and I can't wait to donate to her presidential campaign! WOW!!
In this interview this young poet spoke more meaningful words than #45 in all of his life
No blabbering here like the last president ! Inspiring young woman ... how encouraging !
While I was listening to her, I was thinking about those who stormed the Capitol. It is so sad that those people call themselves the American patriots. This wonderful young woman gave so many people joy and hope. What can they give? Only hatred.
Oh heck yeah
Good riddance PA RI AH...
This brilliant young woman transformed the Biden Inaugural into a spiritual event.
This.
Yes!
Love how they were fan girling about eachother
They all suck>>>
She’s absolutely brilliant and breathtaking as a poet.
What a score for James! She is brilliant!!
Absolutely lovely. Not only Amanda who cannot be praised enough, but just to watch James Cordon so excited, I was afraid he would slip off the edge of his seat every time was so much joy! Thank you for this moments!
She is amazing, it's people like her that make this country great ...
In the last few weeks, Amanda has really become one of my largest inspirations. I've already memorized The Hill We Climb, I've binge watched every RUclips video or interview she's in, I've read so many of her extraordinary poems, and I even ordered her book. I love this woman.
Like President Biden overcoming a stutter, here we see one of the most vibrant young voices who spoke so eloquantly despite the former challenges. Good stuff, and great choice by Team Biden.
It's amazing how the Lord takes our weaknesses, our shortcomings, and failures and displays " His Perfect Strength " to us. What an exchange!!!!! No matter what anyone may say or how things look in the natural realm, God is at work. Sometimes during our dark days, God may seem to be so far away. But actually, He is closer when we are " in the valley of the shadow of death." He never stops working in our lives, for He always gives us " beauty for ashes."
During this pandemic, He has spoken to our hearts through many touching songs, dances, and poems and other types of writings.
In this clip, He used Amanda Gorman to breathe healing, rebuilding, and " Hope" into our atmosphere. He, indeed, is a mighty God.
In Christ we are more than conquerors.
Amanda Gorman is truly what was needed to lift everyone’s spirits. I’m in awe at this beautiful young soul and can’t wait to see where life takes her.
