SALT LAKE CITY — I saw a short clip of of this video, showing a soloist and children's choir singing a song from "Wicked," and I knew I had to go find the full thing.
During this entire seven-minute medley, I was awed at the various soloists and the entire Utah choir, One Voice Children's Choir. Their facial expressions and enthusiasm proves these children are definitely enjoying themselves.
So many of the soloists gave me chills as they showed off their unique voices.
As one commenter put it, "I hope I can sing like these children when I grow up. This is what I aspire to sing like when I am singing along as I drive."
Watching the animated director as he leads the choir and plays the piano, it's obvious the children are learning from and being inspired by him.
The video's description said the choir sang an original medley. The medley features some of the best songs in "Wicked," including "Defying Gravity," "Popular" and "For Good."
The Utah-based choir was founded in 2001 as the 2002 Winter Olympic Children's Choir and has continued since then as a nonprofit organization that hopes to inspire others.
Based on this video, I can tell these children are a force for good in the world.
