Nursery Rhymes Bring Down the House

119,722 views

Over the weekend, Edward Reid became an instant celebrity when he brought down the house on "Britain's Got Talent" -- with nursery rhymes! The crowd laughed and jeered when 35-year-old school teacher opened with "Old MacDonald." But his undulating voice won them over as he moved into "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." By the time he concluded with "If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands," every pair of hands in the room was, indeed, applauding wildly.

I work with school children here in Canada and believe that this is the kind of thing that they should be exposed to. As well as the benefits of joy and laughter, it returns the listener to earlier and more simple times and helps preserve our precious heritage. Bravo!

Even though the crowd initially couldn't get past the words, to see the talent and deep feeling and soul, he kept on singing from his heart. Truly inspiring

Mr Reid, you connected with the crowd as I am sure you connect with the students. We all have something in common, wanting...."being youth-full!"

Brilliant!!! and a courage to be laughed at! As a teacher handling professional students in their early 20s i think I should find ways of making my classes more interesting.
