Jacob Collier - The Audience Choir (Live at O2 Academy Brixton, London) 

Other artists: "I let the crowd sing a single line" Jacob: "I turn the crowd into a heavenly choir for 5 minutes straight"

Absolutely magical instant tears

Every once in a while, a genius appears, seemingly out of nowhere. This is how I would describe Mr. Collier.

Finally someone who can teach the world to sing.

You’ve not truly lived unless you’ve been a part of this at one of his concerts. Magical.

One of the best part is that almost nobody is filming this with their phone and just listen and enjoying one of the most incredible moments of their life. Thanks jacob!

This makes me cry every time I see it. Not only because I'm moved so deeply by music, especially the gathering of human voices - but because this is a room of people from all walks of life, who - for a brief moment - all differences are put aside and they all speak the same language. This is the way I wish the world was.

No words means universal understanding. I`m 65 and crying like a baby and I don`t know why..But I do . Thank you x

I want to go to one of these, I’d end up a blabbering wreck. There is nothing more moving and uplifting when a huge amount of people get together to sing in harmony, personally I feel the oneness of us all, when I listen. Life can be more beautiful than we live it. Just love. ❤️

I love how he breaks down the border between audience and performer. What a beautiful unifying experience.

This is the way the human race should be. Physically and emotionally in harmony 🙏🏻

Now THIS is what I expect the choir of angels to sound like as one passes through them gates.

Imagine this for a Superbowl halftime concert.

I was in his concert in Porto, Portugal. Every single moment of that concert was an amazing experience but this moment was just... higher!

i love how every once in a while you catch the tone of a single voice that stands out but not in a bad way, it's just a lovely touch of one person for a moment

First off, I can't reconcile what we could be with what we are. I've watched this so many times over the past weeks, and I can't help but think of the Jor-El quote from the '78 Superman: "They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way." We, as a species, are so very capable of coming together, and yet it breaks my heart that we simply choose not to. At the same time, I am grateful for this clip, for it reminds me that all hope is not lost, as buried as it may be.

These frequencies touch your soul. That's why it's so magical thousands of human beings in tune with one another.

If this isn't the perfect example of what people can achieve together, I don't know what is.

I'm an atheist. But when you untap humanity like this its like listening to the divine and brings the words 'Sing unto the lord' a sense of meaning. Maybe there is truly a touch of the divine in us all.

every higher note that the choir strikes together triggers a new surge of overwhelming feelings that only burst out of the body with tears and sobs

Every other musician in the world would give their back teeth to have an audience that is this engaged.

His absolutely unique ability to make people grow higher they probably ever dreamt of (imagine you never really sang a lot in your live and he makes you sound like a professional choir) bring me to instant tears. The world needs more of that.

Each of us is a small part of GOD. Bring all those parts together and it becomes WHOLE! We become WHOLE! ❤

That was awesome. As a fellow stage lights tech, i have to give congratulations to the guys at the lights! Thats what it means to love your job!

I'm telling you this is gonna make it to Djesse vol.4

this is so beautiful! you turned your audience into an instrument. and you play like no one! 😭😭😭

For a few minutes they were all in a mystical land. You will never forget such an experience.

shivers down my spine!!

The singing level is jacobs average concert crowd is too high 😂

If we could get the entire world on-board with this kind of harmony, cooperation, and love, we would have Heaven on Earth. Jacob Collier is truly a Divine Messenger, bringing Love and Harmony to the world, once concert at a time. Keep an eye on this guy--he's going places!!!

This brings tears to my eyes. Every. Single. Time. ❤

the way jacob can just sing a single note and everyone knows whats going on

I don’t get ASMR response, but THIS gives me major shivers. So beautiful!

Умение синхронизироваться. Мы все волшебники.Мир.Добро.Любовь!!!!

Why I'm crying!!!???? Amazing!!!

Actually for me this guy currently is the most gifted musician in this world.

Forgot how amazing it is to look into a crowd without a sea of cell phones in the air. Incredible.

You have just listened to the voice of the human soul.

Close your eyes and listen.......what ETHNICITIES do you hear? Exactly....this is the true power of unity and yet we FAIL as a species to realize it. The powers that be LOVE for you to squabble over religion, politics,social issues, all in the effort to keep the power of UNITY hidden. Its both brilliant and tragic at the same time. Brilliant in that it keeps working, tragic in that it keeps working.

This made me cry.... confused feelings of hope, sadness, longing, happyness.... absolutly heavenly and powerful 🥰

At nearly 64 it takes a lot to reduce me to tears, but this beautiful, magical video has done it.. Thank you Jacob.

Что может сотворить человечество объединившись во имя мира любви и добра!!!❤

В этот момент чувствуется всеобщее единство всех и вся! Мир, добро, любовь!!!🍀 Завораживающе

Man this fucked me up I did not expect to have such an emotional reaction to this, I started crying like 20 seconds in and was in tears the while video. Holy crap

I sang in a church choir for a short time for a Christian drug rehab facility. We toured a few churches and that was it. But me and another guy requested standing in the center of the choir, singing in harmony ourselves and hopefully encouraging others to pull in wherever they fit in. It worked. We rocked the house, standing ovations each night we performed. As anyone who has performed successfully can tell, it was mind-blowing. The guy's name was Sam. He was a powerhouse in his own right. Many others were as well. No one in the choir looked glum in the least after the performances. I hope I remember it always. (Back then I thought it might have been the Holy Spirit that was part of it but now I know that this is just what the human creature does. We understand the music and we play what instruments and what notes we know.)

An _a cappela_ orchestra of people who didn't think they could sing...Sheer magic !

I am in tears. This is like listening to Ennio Morricone's The Mission for the first time, alone as a 20s something young woman, lonely, afraid, and not knowing what to do next. I played it for hours, which became years. I've seen the future of music and it is Jacob Collier. Thank you from all my heart...

This is the power of music. To bring anyone, from any culture, upbringing, political view, you name it, together in harmony. It is the ultimate expression of the human experience.

I had the opportunity to live this in person. My dad thought it was a fake choir because it was perfectly tuned and managed.

Бесподобно! Это просто природный дар такой эмпатии. Энергия бурлит и переливается.

I saw him in Boston on 4/24/24. We did the choir, I didn't sing because of a chest cold. However, I did listen. His master, the audience's absolute trust, and the making of beauty. It was an absolutely unique expedience.

Saw him in DC, and he is exploring audience participation in all directions. Imagine a Bobby McFerrin show, but more emphasis on exploring harmony. It makes you proud to be a human being.

The most HUMAN experience one can have. Can't wait to be at one of his concerts.

When you think the world has lost its humanity and then you see this uplifting of voices - hope still endures

They're clapping for themselves and I wouldn't have enough air to cheer after that

Man this guy tears your heart out. 70 y.o and he does this to me.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Got to be part of this love at one of his concerts. It was a magical experience.

That harmony at 2:13 is insane, intense goosebumps...

the choir of humanity

It's the 80th time I came here, I surrender my self as a musical instrument, this Man needs to play me. 🥺✨

An honor to be part of this audience, singing in harmony with so many people!!

This is next level, but then again, most of the things Jacob does are! Breathtaking!

OMGEEE!! The impact this guy has had on my musical harmonic and theoretical daring, understanding, searching, belief is indescribable! At 73, I’m glad I found you to fuel the rest of my musical contributions to the planet. Thank you.

This is something you'd hear at the end of a inspirational movie.

Had the absolute privilege of being in the audience at this gig. It was genuinely one of the most amazing things to be a part of! Sent shivers down my spine then, and again just now watching it reliving the moment.

I saw the concert in Lisbon, Portugal, a few days ago. Went there with my mum and a cellist friend. The whole concert was surreal and mind-blowing, the energy Jacob has on stage is insane. And then he hits us with the Audience Choir, boy oh boy. My mum said tears came to her eyes when it happened, it was so beautiful.

I think this might be my favorite thing on this entire earth. Human beings harmonizing together. Imagine if the whole earth did this 😭. Africa on base, Asia on Tenor, Europe on suprano,the Americas on Alto the rest of the continents on baritone. I would flatline🥴

Потрясающе!!! Браво всем!!!❤❤❤

The King himself! I'd love to play with him one day. Never say never...

0:17 - you know Jacob is a musician's musician when the crowd gets both the downward and upward intervals correct without being given the pitches... gotta love it haha.

Imagine the whole world getting together, led by jacob collier, and singing this melody, no matter their race, gender, religion, social standing, income, sexual orientation, or anything else.

Это здорово!Слёзы на глазах!

A testament to the human intuition for music. That ascent from 1:36-1:55 brought a tear to my eye.

If this were the only thing he did at his concerts, I would still attend

Goosebumps all over. And for some reason only down exactly one half of my entire body for a bit, then all of it.

If we ever make another golden record this needs to be on it. If this isn't an embodiment of the human spirit, I don't know what is.

I think this might be the greatest example of musicianship ever recorded.

When you buy a ticket solely for the audience choir bit. WHAT A LEDGENDARY MOVE FOR MASS HEALING . xxx🥰

As humanity leaves the Earth in search of a new home, this is the song that should sound from the heavens...

I’m on the toilet right now 🚽 ! This is INSANE !

Its just me or anyone loves that one voice that shines with a vibrato on 2:48? Chills everywhere

1:38 - 2:38 This buildup is so cathartic and satisfying

This man is creating Beethoven-level magic with an instrument Beethoven never thought existed

Великий талант. Просто до слёз.❤

remember choking up to the video of Jacob's Toronto audience choir. fast forward one pandemic, two ticket purchases and three immense hours of golden Jacob glory. astonishing. the greatest privilege to be one of those Brixton voices.

The musicality in this audience is mind blowing. They know *exactly* which notes to sing and it sounds phenomenal.

Modern day wizard. Man comes out on stage dressed like me when I just got out of bed, and then magically turns a crowd of thousands into one of the most emotional and spiritual experiences a human can experience.... and each person already had that power within them already.... truly magic.

What I would give to be in the room to hear this. Every time I hear his audience choirs I cry.

He is made out of harmonic magic and melody sprinkles. ❤🙏🎉

London folk you guys sound AWESOME and people in charge of recording london folk they sound AWESOME

Good morning, how are you doing ? I came across your RU-vid shorts by chance and I find that your choral audience is most relaxing and appeases me. I like seeing this communion between spectators and proves that there can be faith in humanity. I hope you will see this comment is all I have to say it's a big thank you

If you haven’t already, try listening to this with headphones. It’s mesmerizing!

Those harmonies are something else daaaaamn and it must feel epic to coordinate that many people in front of you to make something like that

I have watched this at least 20 times, and I cry every time. This is pure magic.

Jacob Collier is amazing. During the pandemic he did a Zoom session with a couple of our choirs (not my choir, sadly) in which they collaborated on a new song in real time.

I don't ever want to die, I want to listen to this forever.

Found this today.... God Mercy... I just cried... That is so powerful whe humans can sing in union a soul union....

Just when we thought everything was already invented in the history of live performance, Jacob does this.

I just witnessed this irl. Thank you, Jacob.❤

Watch his hands, the way his fingers start buzzing. You can see the moments where he's really feeling it, thinking "now we play."
