Wow, I wish there was an official release of this song! This may be the first flash mob video I saw on RU-vid around 2014!! I love how RU-vid recommended this to me after so long.
@@ShaiFishman Aw that's too bad. An official release would have been a beautiful touch to showcase all the hardwork the people have done to make this possible. Thank you for giving me a reason why it wasn't release, I can understand why T-Mobile didn't want to release it. However, it's still just as beautiful to watch the video. All the happiness you brought to people is so heartwarming. We really need flashmobs like this again.
2 years on and it's still my favourite commercial ever!! Never fails to tear me up towards the end. I can only imagine what it would have been like to come home from a flight to that sort of welcome :')
Brilliant. I have worked in broadcast TV for over 30 years, this is a great example of what kind of professional expertise is behind the great things you see on the screen. What a wonderful documentary of how a project of this wonderful depth is put together. My hat is off to the entire production crew.
The more I re-watch this, the more nuance I see, which I attribute to the directors and the great editing not to mention the wonderful photography, the obviously terrific talent, the extensive pre-production, post-production and the incredible planning. The combination of all these elements made something outstanding. I am impressed. -PY, producer/director
Truly one of the best and most inspiring ads ever created. Saved it as a favourite years ago and watch it anytime I need my spirits lifted or just want to smile from ear to ear from all the joy and happiness everyone brings to the performance. Not sure my friend in the UK appreciates it quite as much though. I text him a link to the video each time I'm coming for a visit and express my expectations for when I walk out of the door of customs in terminal 5! Thank you for creating such a wonderful video that has brought me a lot of joy.
Just got out of my strategic marketing class, and had to watch again that video the professor showed us. The T Mobile Welcome Back moved me and I had to see more about this commercial, that's how I ended up here. This is so powerful, really!
Luv this video. The performers are supremely talented and the score is fantastic. The melodies are captivating. and beautiful. If only I new more adjectives I could clearly describe the music. I think I've re-watched this more than 30 times over past few months.
Carlos, Yes, I can totally understand why you fell in love with them. they are as beautiful as they are talented :) And I really appreciate your comment and the lovely compliment! Muito Obrigado! Um grande abraço!
What a talent 😮🤯 Shai is amazing and the whole team must have been emotional when it was over. I can’t imagine arranging music like this but that’s why we leave it to people like Shai ❤️
This is a seriously outstanding piece of work. It sets a mood, and possesses a significant ability to cull warm and nostalgic emotions. This is the best T-Mobile advertisement of them all. Well done.
Best ever and still watch it over and over! Makes me miss my family and wish to be welcomed like this! Amazing job!! Thank you for this wonderful video. You are truly gifted Shai! You are amazing! Looking forward to more but what can top this? Amazing!
Incredible and inspiring work Shai!! In absolute awe of this, and must watch the video of the event itself at least once a week. Never fails to bring a huge grin and a lump to the throat. You've absolutely shown the power of music and voices to move people in an instant! Superb.
The guy is Patrick Smyth and there are a few videos of performances of his on YT but not many. Also one of the singers for UK's Strictly Come Dancing tours
Is Patrick Smyth the man who sang the line 'I still believe' from the song 'I Knew You Were Waiting For Me' in the advert that aired? I've been trying to find that guy who sang that one line for AGES! I'd really appreciate an answer - please and thank you :)
That version of the "Diva Dance" at around 1:58 after that guy beat boxed "Yeah!", made me want to hear the whole Swingle cover in its entirety, which was, of course, delivered EFFORTLESSLY, proving that yea, that song can indeed be sung without any virtual or digital modifications.
I was watching the T-Mobile vid. At time marker 2:27 in the T-Mobile Vid, at the beginning of "Welcome Home", is that Dianne Lee from Peters and Lee who originally sang the song in 1973?
