[ Cheers and applause ] [ Indistinct ] [ Cheers and applause ] So wonderful being back in America.

The last time we were here, we were in LA, on a TV show, you may have heard of it, "America's Got Talent."

We the first choir ever to reach the final of "AGT," and, um, it's just so wonderful being back here, but, uh, since "AGT," we get sent emails from around the world.

And we get emails sent to us from around the world with people asking us to sing their music.

And it really is a wonderful privilege.

And one day I got an email from a young, young lady and she said, "I've written this song for my school choir, and my teacher says it's not very good and she's not going to do it, but can you please have a listen to it?"

So I thought, you know what, we're going to sing it tonight right here in New York.
