There are lots of really nice looking women in the clips from that event but Pink just blows them away.

Never seen that before and glad I have now.

I think I prefer it when there's not hundreds of participants

This is a good one...........Henman Hill during the olympic tennis last year..........

that seems to be the 'official' video but there's others on YouTube filmed by people caught in the middle, which show the exuberance at closer quarters ...........

I haven't had time to look at all the links yet, but is it only me that finds some of these quite emotional?

I think there's something emotional in people getting together and co-operating to achieve something...........and for an old fogey like me it's nice to see (mostly) young people having innocent fun

But the corporate advertising men seem to taken over now and they're scripted to be emotional, which isn't quite the same thing

It's difficult to find one these days that isn't professioinal, with actors and professional dancers, professional choreography, professional film-maker...............and some of those are excellant to watch, like the bank advert Beethoven 9th*, but they're not really flash mobs I don't think............they're adverts

I think the hey-day of the spontaneous flash mob is long gone..........

I agree with all that you've said

Thankyou for this one, as it's one of my favourites, and I must say that this one really stirs my emotions, especially as it is such a beautiful piece of music

yes, it's a lovely video...............but I prefer this 'Beethoven's 9th'........

It seems more spontaneous and there's a lovely moment when the singing starts................as though the crowd didn't know there would be singing !
