I love how her hands move to her poetry like a dance! This woman is an Amazement!
It’s as if she’s conducting the spirits of a hopeful nation!
She is just a teenager
@@Jake-by9ly she’s 22....
She’s 23. Harvard grad
Shes a token.
I'm 59, and I have never watched and listened to someone articulate a profoundly meaningful message as beautifully as this young lady did today. She gave voice to America's soul.
@Bob Evans You have to be that person, don't you.
Have you been asleep most of your life?
@Bob Evans Good for you. What do you want ? A medal ? Trolls ,sigh smh !!
It meant so much more then some would think.
The passion of poetry is truly magical. Sometimes it is not the words but the meanings. And this was indeed had a lot of heart.
@Bob Evans You Just can't help it, can you?
"For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to BE it."
Man, lightning was coursing through my veins after she said that.
When I saw this young lady walk into view her yellow coat was like a light showing the way to a new beginning and her ground breaking poem brought tiers to my 74 year old eyes. Young lady you are the best and there still hope. Greetings from your Northern neighbors 😀
She brought sunshine and blue skies. May the lord bless bless her
@@mariarod6998 And the bowl on her head made me hungry for some Cheerios.
She is the best of us.
@@kbmls3 She read poem. Wow ! Incredible.
@@kbmls3 indeed she is.may god bless her and her family
So when I heard her during the inauguration, I thought, " who the heck is this???" Cause she was incredible! This was epic to an already great day! We can breathe, people. Spread love!

Now you can start paying for your own FREE CRAP. FREEDOM!
@Zaynab bint Al-Harith Waaah Waaah! Loser.
@Zaynab bint Al-Harith who hurt you ?
Exactly!!!
I'm not even an American but this young lady has made me feel proud for you. This young woman is everything I want my young girls to be.
Let the Divine answer your prayer. Your girls will be strong, but humble, fierce and loving. Through their entire lives, be they surrounded by Angels of Grace, Peace, and Wisdom, so that, all they do, brings love, abundance, prosperity, and the Glory of the Divine. Amen, and So mote it be....
Then you raise them to be the strong and wise young women you want them to be. The power is yours. And it is also theirs.
@Zaynab bint Al-Harith Haha Trump's camp scammer...How obvious.
@Zaynab bint Al-Harith ....You cant hide.....a real trailer trash.
Zaynab bint Al-Harith I live in California and she did not sleep with me. Or my husband. Or my niece. Or nephew. Or cousin. Or boss. Or oh just fact check before you type please.
As an artist, I genuinely wish for more artists and people like her to be in positions of power, or at least have a seat at the table. I know so many highly intelligent artists that lead from the heart and think so uniquely that they would add so much light, wisdom and fresh forward thinking to a government. Artists aren’t made the most of in our culture.
As an African black man , I respect you for presenting us black people in such great way that the world 🌎 couldn’t imagine , thanks for such an wonderful speech and never stop dreaming of be coming a president of USA one day because you deserve nothing less than that . Much respect all the way from Cape Town South Africa
> because you deserve nothing less than that
The idea of a President is not it's something someone 'deserves,' the culmination of their personal ambitions and the ultimate fulfilment of their ego.
It's about choosing the person who will make macro decisions that will produce the best outcomes for the nation and its citizens.
Young people give me hope
Correction: young people like that, give us hope

This young woman is amazing. Not just her words or her presence, but her spirit and grace. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world
She has a speech impediment. She talked about it on NPR a couple days ago.
She is the Strength this country needs right now, beautiful Young Queen speaks her heart and it IS poetry !
Very well said. I completely agree.
She is begging America for integration in housing and schools still begging 2021
lulu absolutely agree with you so much talent and the presentation so strong with grace everyone should take her spoken word with heart and find the light she speaks of within themselves she is absolutely beautiful
This young woman represents the best of what our future holds. Bless her and all who carry the same flame.
Future presidential candidate, this young lady is awesome and should be so so proud of herself
@@tonykulikovsky Future president? LMFAO. You sir need to put the bottle down.
It’s not just her words it’s also how she recites them. I'm sure scholars of the future will spend many hours explicating her words. I’m not American and I found this very moving.
Yes the delivery was perfect.
@@TampaAries Trump's delivery will be even better wait and see pal...😜😜😜 soon you are going to be very very pissed off
Indeed. She moved the whole world
It's not her words, it's only the way she recites them.
She doesn't say anything of value or substance - just the usual "oh poor us we're such victims" bullshit.
Nobody learned anything or gained any insights after listening to this.
She says little, but she speaks in a charismatic and engaging style.
For millions of people, that's enough.
It sounded like a high school theater student reciting a monologue.
This peom was amazing...and shes only 23!!! this was a day for the girls!
Indeed... I, for one, wish for more "girl voices" as pure and brave as hers... simply stunning!
She looks so youthful and like a teenager! I can tell it’s going to be a while before she starts aging.
A day for the girls is a day for the world.

@Zaynab bint Al-Harith In Denmark we have a living Queen and also a female Prime Minister.
I think Amanda Gorman just temporarily blinded everybody with a metaphorical 100,000 lumen torch when she showed us how to find the light in this "never ending shade"!
Wow, beautiful, very articulate, I'm in tears. Speechless
Brilliant!
She has spoken to life for everyone. We need to be as one people.
Why d u now just realized this. Its been broken since slavery existed
This is and was nice to hear. I hope and think she will have a great book published to read in the future. If she does already then I wll go on and buy a couple if them.
Ms. Gorman, young lady, you killed it. This was so eloquent, so beautiful and soo powerful..may the Lord continue to take you into this world to make a difference.
Stunning young woman. I’ve spoken to many people about her eloquent and moving words. This gives me so much hope. I felt a shift happen with her words. So blessed to have been able to see this and grateful it’s online. Everyone should watch this.
Did Ivanka (daddy’s girl) ever say anything remotely literate?
Love from England
Scripture tells us that the power of life and death is in the tongue. Today, Ms. Gorman have America life through her spoken words.
"I felt a shift happen with her words." Well said, Jess K!
“Close the divide, put differences aside”. I love Amanda’s line. She’s awesome! Maya Angelou would be so proud🦅🇺🇸🥲👊🏾
@@acnine-ball8976 Conservatives always claim they want to limit the government. They reduce the size and authority of the EPA, the FDA, the CDC, the Civil Rights Division, etc...everything designed to protect the people from the greed and corruption of the Corporations. But they always expand the size and authority of the military, the DEA, the FBI, ICE, border patrol, etc...everything designed to control the people.
Above all else, conservatives value safety and security. It's why you can't cope with 'foreigners', it's why you can't handle 'diplomacy', it's why you would rather convict an innocent person to prison, even death, rather than risk a guilty person going free.
Above all else, liberal value inclusion. It's why we don't have a problem with 'globalization', it's why we're more tolerant of immigrants and religious freedom. It's why we would rather a guilty person went free (to perhaps be convicted another day) rather than risk an innocent person being convicted to prison.
Are you mad that large segments of Americans marched and protested all summer, and even rioted?? That's what happens in every country, sooner or later, when segments of their populations are marginalized, even brutalized under cover of authority. The key is not marginalizing humans in the first place. In retrospect, it may have been more effective if the President had talked with Black Lives Matter when they were just kneeling during the anthem, rather than calling kneeling NFL players 'Sons of B*tches' on national television.....!
The questions you need to be asking yourself is what are YOU going to do to heal the divide. What steps are YOU going to take to meet us in the middle. How are YOU going to appeal to US. We don't need your forgiveness. You need ours.
edit: btw, you 'didn't leave us alone' when we were protesting, even rioting. You called out all the police and national guard and arrested HUNDREDS. You used tear gas and tazers, and unmarked vans with unmarked 'officers' called in by the Federal government to snatch people right off the streets. No cities were burned down, no neighborhoods were burned down. If people like you can't stop lying, if there's no common reality, then what common ground can there be?
@@acnine-ball8976 Are you on glue? There is no such thing as “more constitutionality”. That is a contradiction in terms. There is one constitution, one country, no more, no less.
But interesting to read your “slam” poetry. And no, not willing to accept extremist and terrorist rhetoric. Big difference between what you claim and right wing. Your anger is obvious but it’s clouding your judgement, hedging your insight. You just called something you believe to be “left wing” as stupid. So there’s yer sign. Name calling reduces your credibility, false equivalency weakens your stance.
Not sure what the “real world” is where you live but it sounds like your claim of no justice, no peace is only relegated to those of YOUR ilk, not to any other demonized group or person. So your failure of understanding tho sad, is what the rest of the real world is used to, the silence, a heavy sigh, maybe an unintentional eye roll before we carry on with our day. We all move on while you remain entrenched in a sea of pain and suffering that gets blamed on others who have no vile intent.
You claim you have been “demonized for four years”. Nonsense. Your lack of acceptance of grace, beauty and freedom of expression has obviously triggered your delicate sensibilities and blinded your realization that your view has been around for awhile...decades and decades of malicious intent to distort, mar and violate the emergence of truth and rights. And there’s yer sign...you already have rights but you have denied those same rights to others. So as a result, whosever platforms you are claiming to be your own are in fact moot if you can not disclose them. You cannot claim random allegiance to something other than the oath to your country without actually disclosing it.
And no, we are listening to the voice of reason, the voice of leadership, the voice of calm. The “we” you speak of has yet to come forward and take responsibility for their actions.
So there you go. Someone has spoken. Your jjibber jabber about static & electromagnetic forces sounds like Sheldon on crack. You rail about heavy artillery which may mean you have served and have been mentally challenged as a result. So no, it not anyone’s job to appeal to you or your ilk. Not when your comment history shows ignorance and reckless rhetoric similar to the 1/6 event. And for that all you get is reported. However it is up to you to get help, if no more than to stop the trigger.

@@seanmorgan2356 "what are you going to do to heal the divide" "we don't need your forgiveness you need ours" WTF
"Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true.

That even as we tired, we tried.
That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious."

Yeah, Maya's smiling...
I am amazed at such a young person who speaks with such wisdom. She is invoking all those who came before. Remarkable.

I agree, and Unfortunately, wisdom is lost on many in the comment section. You know who you are!
Wasn't she something else?!☺ I KNOW Maya would've been beaming with absolute pride!
What wisdom? She didnt once mention God , theres no wisdom in this
@@fredarroyo7429'for everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven, that's God's words. Besides, she quoted Mica 4:4, 'everyone shall sit under their own vine and their own fig tree,'

Bravo young Lady, what an eloquent and beautiful speech! Much respect from Germany!
I was driving in my truck working when I heard the beautiful words of inspiration from this child of Light, she's going to have a wonderful career in what ever she chooses to do may God Bless her and the rest of us!
"This child of Light" is such a beautiful insight! We've seen such darkness these past four years it's wonderful to feel that kind of delight again. We've been fighting so hard to save what needed to be saved and bearing the weight of corruption it was hard to find those moments. So, thank you!
I can't imagine how proud her parents can be.....Thanks God we still having HOPE.... Memorable performance....👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💜💚💛
Wonderfully said! The moment she spoke I fell in love with her like you do when you first see your newly born daughter. I shivered, I teared, but then My emotions were taken over by a feeling the I have a someone I will always be able to relate to like my daughter. I wish her all the successes in life, and YES, I will vote for her when she runs for President.
I want to see Diamond & Silk top that!!!😀
Nothing impresses leftists like spewing bullshit in a passionate way.
This is the peak of human intellect to them.
In case you didn't know she has an auditory processing disorder and hypersensitivity to sound yet here she is reciting her poem in a presidential inauguration after finishing Harvard!Respect, never give up on your dreams
"There's only light if only we're brave enough to be it"🧡🧡🧡
❤❤❤❤
She's wise beyond her years. Absolutely beautiful...
That's a bitter sweet wink to those who stayed home when everyone else went outside to support a protest for the greater good.
A light to bring out those who are still in the dark are those who speak up.

@Senior Billy Bull she just spoke a beautifully written poem of hope and unity and what talent she shares and instead of listening to that spoken word you turn your attention back hateful rhetoric within minutes you say she is a bright young lady tell me why you think that tell me why she is the future instead of denouncing her future with rhetoric is it in you do you have that light of which she speaks of?
@Senior Billy Bull such a shame your so full of hate what a lonely life you must lead I hope you do find some light at some point

There is no god
I can't believe how much poise she has for a 22year old. Poem made me cry "Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished"
Now I know I'm "over the hill." She looks 12-13 to me but I won't tell you how truly decrepit I am (don't want to cause fainting)
I have missed American people standing up for light and hope, love and justice in the face of what just is. ❤🧡💛💚🤎🖤❤
We were here here but just drowned out.
It’s the ones who you’d think “should have” the least hope who have the hope. Black women -on average- make 62c to every dollar of white men but white men are storming the Capitol while Black women are voting and speaking about hope

Yep haters
Nothings positively changed , black men and women are still being killed in the street . The immigration process is still stringent , prices of everything is up...but yeah a girl said some words and made you feel good
She speaks with such eloquence, I wholeheartedly applaud this young lady. Definitely intellectually blessed with words of healing and hope for an entire society of people.

We in Germany was very impressed by this young lady, when we saw her speech live. Remarkable words. Compare this to some other guy, who is way older than her and lies over 4 years.
Without Donald Trump's businessman's approach in the recent normalisation of ties between Israel and Oman and the UAE, these remarkable events of last year, having never been achieved before, would not have happened.
@@Dustshoe YES!!!! While the democrats are upset and don't like Trump because of how Trump made them FEEL, the republicans look at his POLICY and Promises Kept during his presidency. If you look at what Trump has done in the last 4 years compared to ANY president in the last several decades, Trump has by FAR been the most effective president we've seen on our lifetime. Like it or not.
Thank you! We are sooooo glad the orange nightmare is over
@@jenncool1376 lets look at his policies
-Muslim travel ban
-Border wall that Mexico was OBVIOUSLY not paying for
-Covid is a big hoax
-A very light travel ban on China after the virus spread
-A tax cut that only benefited the top 1%
-$800B+ raise in military allowance for no reason
I seemingly don't see why everyone says he was the best president.

Now India needs to follow this. I’m an Indian living in the UK and I was blown away by the words and the delivery of this poetic masterpiece: genius. I confess, I shed tears.
Was like watching a ray of sun sing to us, reminding us of our best even though we have been battered by the worst.
This young lady out shined everyone. She's an absolute blessing!
I lost it within the first 30 seconds. What a perfect choice to help a nation expectorate the backed up emotion, stress, pain, fear, uncertainty and hopelessness that so many of us have felt, an ever-increasing feeling of despair as we've seen everything from police stations burning to mass graves being dug on US soil, to the scum of the Earth trying to topple our very own capitol. This was a painful last half decade, and this pain needed to be released in a voice like this young girl's powerful cadence.

@@MrGamelover23 It had a few Hamilton references.
Her contrived poem is nothing more but juvenilia pretending to be the work of a mature poet. Not in the least surprised when she began to recite verses rap style like a degenerate. Absolute trash and just another sign of the times.
"Being American is more than a pride we inherit. It's the past we step into, and how we repair it." That gave me chills. Well stated.
Gave me chills too
Yes! Brilliantly put.
@Cletus Mcbetus Totally innocent people whose parents or grandparents benefitted tremendously from the GI Bill and banks’ willingness to loan them money to buy a home or start a business. These things were systematically denied to black people for decades, preventing them from securing and hanging onto wealth. You may not be personally responsible for slavery, but black families - including this generation - are still reeling from the economic impacts of what earlier Americans perpetrated upon their forbears. The country owes them at least a portion of that money back; where do you propose it come from? Meanwhile, billionaires receive tax cuts, and we build more weapons of war. It’s the same damned money.
That whole poem gave me goose bumps.
It is the heritage of our fathers - we stand on their shoulders. My family has been here since 1660. My ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation and the CONSTITUTION. They shed their blood and pledged their fortunes to gain independence from British tyranny to establish a democratic republic espousing liberty, justice and freedom.
Such poise from this young lady. Powerful.
Holy shit, this brought me to tears.
Same here
Me too. I laughed so hard I had tears.
She delivered that poem very well. It brought tears to my eyes.
She was absolutely transcendent! What an incredibly moving piece! 💫🙂💫
Be real - this was just another political speech, and bland at that because we've heard everything she said so many times before.
@Pete Repete 😂 Castro? LOL You BOTs are getting somewhat creative with these reaches.
@@lauraly2712 A political speech at an inauguration? Ya don't say! 🤯 SHOCKING! 😂
In this version/footage I can see that she got a standing ovation. Glad to see that.
Your poem is so beautiful that I saved it. I don't know how many times I listened to it.
I don’t even have words for how beautiful this poem was, and this person is. We are better people for hearing this and a better nation should we embrace it.
You wanna hear my poem?
No
Propaganda sure is a nice poem.
@Ramming Speed it's hard to enjoy truely inspiring poetry when you're barely literate
@Ramming Speed ...The "Right" tried to delegitimize a free and fair election. It needs to be silenced.
“When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast. We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace. In the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice.
And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow, we do it. Somehow, we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one.
And yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect. We are striving to forge our union with purpose, to compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man.
And so, we lift our gazes not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another. We seek harm to none and harmony for all. Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true. That even as we grieved, we grew. That even as we hurt, we hoped; that even as we tired, we tried; that we’ll forever be tied together, victorious. Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division.
Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid. If we’re to live up to our own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in all the bridges we’ve made. That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare it. Because being American is more than a pride we inherit; it’s the past we step into and how we repair it. We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it, would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy. And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated. In this truth, in this faith we trust, for while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us. This is the era of just redemption. We feared it at its inception. We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour, but within it, we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves.
So, while once we asked: “How could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?” Now we assert, “How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?”
We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be: a country that is bruised, but whole; benevolent, but bold; fierce and free. We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation, because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation. Our blunders become their burdens. But one thing is certain, if we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy, and change our children’s birthright.
So, let us leave behind a country better than one we were left. With every breath from my bronze-pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one. We will rise from the gold-limned hills of the West. We will rise from the wind-swept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution. We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states. We will rise from the sun-baked South. We will rebuild, reconcile and recover in every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country our people diverse and beautiful will emerge battered and beautiful.
When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”
Ehrenmann
Thank you for putting the poem into writing for us all.
I got it now. Million Thanks!
♥️♥️♥️
Exquisite
This brilliant human being is way beyond her years. Her speech was amazing and she deserves to be a political speaker for the White House or something motivating people in the right direction. She would have my vote haha
Thank you for this beautiful message of hope... You had me in tears & I know that you will go far because you my dear are a star.
"If only we are brave enough to be it."
Ms Amanda you are "IT" 💕
Blessings to you and your family
I can imagine school children analysing and appreciating this poem for years to come. From Australia, my respect for America is already returning.
Thank you, Adam. America has been waiting for real leadership, honor and commitment for 4 long years. We need to regain our self-respect and the respect of the world. With President Biden and Vice President Harris, I think we can do it!
It felt like the start of something good
@@Nerdzombiedisco aww, the response your cult leader would tweet if he could
@@robinwilliams7193 Speaking as another Australian, I don't think democratic America realises just how many allies you have in the world. How many of us were rooting for you to overcome the monster that is Trump. How many of us were hoping that your people would be treated decently by your government and join the rest of the world in caring for your people, over profit. So many Australians, myself included, got up early (time difference) to see Biden sworn in and to hope for a better future for you all. They don't see it yet, but we hope the MAGA and QAnon junkies will eventually realise, after a lot of work and support, that they were wrong. 💗
Ha! I teach 8th grade English (ELA) and I was just thinking how to incorporate this poem into my lesson plans.
What a moment! She, her words, the delivery, bring us to tears of joy.
Me too. I can't stop laughing
Dale Young - The delivery was so unique - so passionate. I've printed out the poem - there is so much to digest. Pray you are staying well during these somewhat chaotic times.
Regards from New Zealand
@Ramming Speed Just shut up and go to bed. Night night now.
@@mikehawk4714 Lowlife. Primordial goo. You.
@Ramming Speed Your POTUS immitation is gone. Puke-is has left the building. Deal with it.
I watched this video everyday, I'll never get tired of hearing her recite! BRILLIANT and absolutely breath taking! Harvard grad.. Her mother and family must be so very proud of her.
So powerful, profound, motivational, and inspirational.....Congrats and Very well spoken, Amanda!!!!
"There's always light, only if we're brave enough to see it, only if we're brave enough to be it." Wow...well done young lady!

How sweet. When is USA invading another country?
@@vonfalckenstein9266 Why are u hating?
Above the clouds the sun is always shines.
@Zaynab bint Al-Harith Says you! 😉
From Ireland, I will sleep listening to this tonight, stunning!
Thank you 🇺🇸💓🇮🇪
I agree you wholeheartedly!
This is incredible props to her , so talented at such a young age
For four years I was glad I was not an American.
In 5 minutes and 40 seconds I became envious of US citizens.
If this young woman is representative of the future of your nation, the USA has a very bright future.
It's not just the poem, it's how she looks delivering it--That double-breasted yellow coat! That red satin headband! She's the lone bright spot amid all that drabness.
Yes, total package. Absolute perfection.
I was thinking the same thing!!! Beautiful inside and out! Brillant in everyway!
damn straight brad. she's awesome!
*I thought Michelle was rocking that purple pretty fiercely too!* 🤷🏻♀️
Yes, she was Bold and Beautiful! Go girl!
Such an uplifting five minutes in this time of darkness. Already the fog is lifting and a brighter day is dawning.
I know _I'm_ breathing a little easier
Out of the mouth of babies, I hope her mom is patting herself on the back! She has the tone to make it all seem like it is going to be okay. The future looks brighter.🔥❤️💯🥰🤩
This girls power is her heart! Love the passion and the words were totally felt
and that Ladies and Gentlemen is
why poetry speaks way beyond the number of words
contained in a single poem
"a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished..."
i cried
I did too, and I’m British. Bless you. I feel the pain of the past, I feel the sorrow of the present, I feel it will be a better tomorrow, I’m alive I can feel.
Same. Powerful words. I cried.
Yes that was a lot I loved it.
Oh, yes. I dare not better words than those.
I teared up and I am watching from Malaysia.
Proof the future is bright with minds like this. Courage and tenacity is hard to find. She has plenty to spare.
Hi Amanda. If you are reading this, your poem was absolutely breathtaking. I loved every single word of it. God bless you and keep on writing.
"Just us is not Justice." More powerful words have never been spoken.

The words in the Bible are more powerful.
This girl is extraordinary. Got goosebumps and I'm not even American. Bless her.xx
@Traitor Joe's oh hi Traitor. Lol
This girl remind me OBAMA'S WIFE❤
Who else shed tears during this?
This is the high point of the inauguration ceremony
Nah. The 30K soldiers and razor wire that you needed to protect 'the most popular candidate ever' was the high point.
And the low point was Lil Joey and Kameltoe.
