Hallelujah Flash Mob, Scottsdale Fashion Square, Arizona Video
Flash mob in Phoenix at Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, 12/22/10.
we should do it ...
we should do it every? year!
this? sounds amazing
this? sounds amazing
The more I read ...
The more I read about this and see the many youtube videos and all their hits and comments, I realize that instead of a flash mob that was "a mess", we touched the? hearts of THOUSANDS!!!!!!!!! Way to go Scottsdale! We need to keep spreading the reason for the season!!! Keep the CHRIST, the MESSIAH, in CHRISTmas!!!!
that's fine, but ...
that's fine, but the people who were mad or upset about it were ridiculous! People were screaming and yelling and mad!? That was not the point of doing this! It ended up being more of a Hallelujah Chorus sing-a-long instead of a flash mob. But the original intent was to do a flash mob. Technology is amazing! It is truly incredible how fast this thing spread. So, for anyone upset out there, I wanted to explain what happened. It was an amazing experience that we will never forget.
we had to follow ...
we had to follow their instructions and cooperate with them. Cooperate is exactly what we did. They closed off the bridges, had extra security. At 11:45, they told us we had to start, or they would cancel it, so we did. That is? why it started early. As for doing it the second time, a security guard came down and told us we were done, so we obeyed. We didn't want to upset the mall who was very gracious in letting us do this. Whoever started the second time, did so on their own.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ...
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! Allow me to clarify...my mother, a church choir director in Scottsdale, received permission from the mall a few weeks ago to bring her 100-voice choir to do a true flash mob. An email started to circulate about it and it spread throughout the valley and to sedona and tucson. I have a friend in California that heard about it. In? just a week it went from 100 people to what could possibly be thousands. We warned the mall and they told us we could still do it, but
That's what I ...
That's what I thought (spontaneous)...I had a friend invite me to this the day before this took place..AND..told to watch it on youtube (also the day before) since I decided to pass. I would love to be a part of something like this..but when inivites are sent out..you know it's going to be a MESS!
Happy Holidays to everyone? AND for those that actually practice ARK - all year around rather than just this time of year..and for the news. *warm hugs for everyone*
tkmaz, sounds like ...
tkmaz, sounds like from reading most of the replies there were plenty of happy person. So stating not one person was happy is a bit much. I was happy to be? there!! THANK YOU to the people who sang.
I was singing for ...
I was singing for both. I was wondering why it went early. thought the 2nd time sounded better. Did not see many people leave after the 1st time. Thought there was suppose to be an organ playing? Never heard that. Did not see any people who were not happy? about this. Just joy and smiles!
You are right it ...
You are right it was a mess but blame ABC 15 who leaked it on TV which defeats the? purpose of a flash mob. I was there. I sang it- twice- and enjoyed every minute of it. Merry Christmas!
Spontaneous acts of ...
Spontaneous acts of kindness?? Not one person was happy at that mall yesterday - it was impossible to navigate the entire place. The parking lot was gridlocked. Flash mobs are spontaneous when no one knows they're happening until they do - people were tipped off & made for a? very miserable situation.
oh the? power of ...
oh the? power of technology to bring people closer together
:)
Merry Christmas ...
Merry Christmas everyone! Pass on the good spirit. Here's hoping for more? spontaneous acts of kindness.

Wow, watching? this really moved me to tears. Thank you for sharing this....
Merry Christmas!
This was the first ...
This was the first one - the second one had no director - started spontaneously (by my dad) when? the director was told they could not do it again.
There were at least ...
There were at least 2000 singing for the? first one. Far less the second time. There was very few "Crowd" there, it was mostly singers. I think most people that showed up couldn't understand why there were so many people in the food court . . not eating. The parking garage was also very crowded and there was quite the traffic jam trying to leave. I was just greeting everyone in the food court afterwards saying "Hallelujah" and my sister would chime in "Forever and ever!"
This was just ...
This was just before noon by about 15 minutes. I? can see my wife & she wasn't in there for the 12:00 one.
This is the 2nd go ...
This is the 2nd go around, the first had even more singers. It did begin slightly before noon. The conductor said there were approx. 650 of us singing. It was awesome and? an amazing experience for us who participated! The crowd seemed to enjoy it also, asking for an encore!
12:10...i think ...
