I absolutely loved this - really uplifting on a wet grey day when the international news is so horrible.

Great video. Mickey Callisto is from the town I live in and is very talented, he was voted out of BGT but that probably did him a favour.
Ollie is an amazing guitarist considering his age.

It’s brilliant.

My choir did a flash mobile once. We weren't quite that good.

Sparkelfizz I don't know if you watch Emily in Paris, but that's all filmed in the area too. It's the 5th district which is steeped in Roman history. I know it, because I studied close by at the Sorbonne. It has that sort of bohemian (in my day hippy) feel. The centre of the avant-garde, and they promoted that so well..

Thanks escaped. smile

Young guitarist is Olly Pearson, he’s amazing - 11 years old I think 😮

Fabulous 👍

Wow that is wonderful I love a flash mob although I ve never been privileged to be present in one
Please let’s have more music and love and fun and no more cruel divisive groups Let’s bring the world together in music and love

Mickey Callisto and the young guitarist both competed in Britains Got Talent this year.

Thank you for sharing Sparklefizz. It’s fabulous. It gave me goosebumps!

LauraNorderr Sun 14-Sept-25 18:22:33

Just wow

kittylester Sun 14-Sept-25 18:19:14

The organisation must have been massive.

When you get a real "live" performance like that, where everyone is so talented and all the radio mics work a dream, it genuinely sends shivers down the spine.
Even the French here are talking about it as a triumph!

It’s wonderful 😃

How fabulous to have been there.

I saw Julien Cohen interviewed yesterday and he said he spent a long time trying to find the right square in Paris with windows overlooking to get the right effects.

I loved that highly talented boy playing the guitar, and I enjoy seeing the crowd's faces when they suddenly see someone else join in.

kittylester Sun 14-Sept-25 17:55:32

Sago

I should add I have followed Julian Cohen for some time but had never heard of Mickey Callisto until I say this clip.
I think he sings more like Freddie than Adam Lambert.

Agree!

Wonderful

Aely Sun 14-Sept-25 17:50:36

Wow!

Usedtobeblonde Sun 14-Sept-25 17:45:24

Wow, wow and wow again.
One of the best things I have seen in a very long time.
Thank you OP for posting it.

I love seeing Flash Mobs. They can lift my darkest mood.
Thanks for this one
