Music flashmobs

My mother recently posted this on Facebook, which is amazing:



It must have been awesome to experience this. I think these kinds of flash mobs are really insane (in a good way!), so I tried to find more, and it's incredible how many similar videos you find on YouTube. Take this one, for example:



It's a bunch of (probably not so) random people playing their instruments (and singing, later on), and playing the same melody over and over again, but I still got teary-eyed. That's just crazy. Crazy and amazing.

God, that is so cool. I had a bit of a tear in my eye when I watched these. I'd love for something similar to happen where I live!

that second one definitely sent chills up the spine when they started singing.

Those are amazing! I love flash mobs...such a neat idea!!!! The best one I ever saw was the one that went around the net at Christmas. A choir did the "Hallellujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah and they were phenomenal.

It isn't just musicians who do flash mobs though:

Oh, I LOVE the belly dance one! That's my favourite so far!

I like them for a while, but I feel like they were done too much. Once you've seen 10 you feel like you've seen enough, but when you see hundreds it's just the same thing over and over. The only one I really like was the Eurovision half-time show a few years back. Where they did a flashmob across all of Europe.

I wonder how they pulled that ^^^ off?!?!
