I am a non religious Jew from Israel. Allways was looking for great music from the US and UK, when we always had these great songs belonging to my own culture, and I wasn't even aware of this.
Appreciate posting all these performances today. David and Binyamin are stars. Jeremy and Yoshi are balls of energy on stage. Yair, Ben, Akiva and Sol are underrated.
@@Loverera2023I was good friends with Naftali Jacobson (one of the members at the Time) as a kid. I may or may not have um..."borrowed" his vest a few times... Hehe
Anyone who does not know about this choir is missing such a blessing! I adore them all. They not only sing wonderfully but their stage presence is terrific! What a treat they are to behold!
This is what the United States needs instead of all the impure songs in the United States which is causing depression and catastrophe. Music is like hypnosis
As an Oɾthodox Jeɯ to people discovering this song: "Do not quote the deep magic to me. I was there when it was written. It defined the summer of 2009 for me and many of my coɾeligionists around my age"
sorry for randomly replying to your comment but I'm dying to know more. Was mbc considered cool back then? Did kids really want to be in mbc/ did kids have a fav member like with boy bands? Do you have the songs stuck in your head when you read the Torah sometimes or was it a little weird to hear verses made into absolute bangers at first? Are there older people who consider it tacky/ inappropriate (from my experience w older catholic people I'd sort of expect that)? Are there songs that are seasonal classics (kind of like All I Want for Christmas is you, if that makes sense)? Love & appreciation from a catholic-raised now agnostic, this kind of music is so new to me (we hardly had christian rock growing up) and I adore it! It feels like when I first discovered caramelldansen as a middle schooler & it makes me happy to see people connect with religion/ spirituality in such a positive way.
@@meeomelovescookiesandhisto459 I did enjoy mbc as a kid but my favorite Jewish music growing up was the Amudai Shaish choir (they did 2 amazing albums that I used to listen to all the time), Judaea, Safam, Megama Duo ,(which is Moshe Yess and a second performer, I forgot who) and Shimon and Ilana Sing Songs of Celebration. The latter was a wonderful record (yes, vinyl) that I wish I could get in digital. It was all these amazing Hebrew songs like Ten Shabbat, Machar, with English and Hebrew lyrics mixed together. Later, in my teen years, I got into Diaspora Yeshiva Band, and Lenny Solomon/Shock Rock (who is my brother - full disclosure), Gad Elbaz, Yardena Arazi, The Chevra and Lev Tahor. But it was nothing like boy bands, we didn't obsess on the singers, we just enjoyed the music. Yes, I just dropped a lot of names here and you'll find most of them here on RU-vid. I was also unusual in that I was in a household where my father was a chazan (cantor) and his father was also a chazan, and we sang all the time. And I grew up on a mixture of Jewish and secular music. What's funny is that until this all blew up, mbc was seen as kids music and now I have rediscovered them, thanks to them blowing up on TikTok.
How much fun would it be to get to see these specific members reunite as grown men and just blow the audience right out of the water again in a new reunion performance, singing as men in their new voices?! This extraordinary group of singers is capable of blowing the audience right out the front doors of the concert Hall and onto the streets! Watching them perform at their unique time and place in history together is truly special. I only wish I could have heard Yoshi sing more solos in his register. I love his (short but sweet) harmony in this performance of Yovoh and (likewise short but sweet) melody solo on Yerushalayim. I'd be willing to pay upwards of 300 dollars to be in the nose bleed section just to see them again, (in their sequence vests) for a full concert reunion performance! In showbiz they say: "Always leave your audience wanting more" (check) but please, not for too much longer! Bravo! Encore! Yovoh! Sing His praises (again, please ;0). I would very much enjoy seeing a performance by these same very talented singers. Talk about your favorite boy band - these guys rock! I bet they still got it! I love these kids' full tilt unbribled passion so much! The boyz are buff!
Video of the 2013 reunion performance of "Henai Ma Tov" is on youtube. Very moving & joyful to see them grown and many still looking the same as they did when children. They sound awesomely amazing years later. Their talent is 5thru the roof!
Benjamin is so cute..taking the leadership role...this is my first viewing of this choir and came upon them by coincidence.. I love this group..GOD'S ANNOINTED ..!!!!!!
@@britnysnodgrass907 Not sure what you're referring to. Binyamin at times seems very uninterested, like maybe he's not trying to dance to hard to preserve his breath, or maybe he's just not a very energized dancer - but then he proceeds to go out and sing with amazing vocal control, voice, etc. Unless I'm misunderstanding.
@@britnysnodgrass907 I get the feeling that he is just one of those phenomenal singers that doesn't really care much for the fanfare of dancing. David gets a lot of praise for his stage presence, but his dancing is also very minimal, the difference is just that he smiles, side-steps on beat, and does a lot of flourishing with his free arm when he sings. This is not a slight at either of them, they are both completely valid and successful performance choices.
@@wmhfv992Binyamin is just a humble guy (really, all the Abramowits bros are! XD) who feels the music. One convo with him will tell you that he loves every second of it, but he was just in his 'zone'. XD
@@thomvanderdeure6655 if you have they're cd's from years ago then you can see the names. I don't have them anymore as I downloaded everything to my laptop.
The choreography on this one looks really fun. Look at Davids's hand movements at 2:23. That is one very difficult task. Hahahah. All of them are living this moment.
okay so like figuring out that jeremy and binyamin are around the same age, they were both so little in some of these, like david and binyamin have to have a bit of an age gap and they both sing on such a great level
To the person who asked if MBC has any seasonal songs--in the 90s they had a Chanukah album called Light Up the Nights. It was great. Really hope some videos go up in the next few weeks but if not there's always audio
