I really liked this video and how they changed the words to I Gotta A Feeling. It's really cool how at the beginning, they all were 'reading' until later, they danced it out. My favorite part was when they all squatted and jumped. It looked pretty cool from the bird's-eye view. What I would have changed was, in the real song,(Black Eyed Peas)they said the days of the week so I think that thay should have kept that in the song to say that they read everyday of the week. Also, I think that the girl that was singing was very gifted. She really helped me get the feeling of the song.
Another thing is that this video, it's for EVERYONE to enjoy. Just a minute ago, my brother was clapping his hands to the beat and he's 14. I do think that this video is very cool and the words really reach out to you saying that you have to read. Why can't we do this Mrs. Simonds??

I think thats a really good song thing because they must of put a lot of effort into it! I don't know how they could just get the person to sing and get all the kids outside and learn all the dance moves how long it took to learn with all the kids, it's just to much!!! but I think it was a really good video, and I rate it an A+, or an AWSOME SONG!!!!!

That video was amazing, and the girl singing as Sarah said is very talented and gifted. I don't know how they warped her voice to sound exactly like the I gotta Feeling version. My favorite part is when at the end it is done and everyone is showing there book and they are all so proud!! (and I love the dancing and singing!!) :^). I also noticed that they all had some red &white on.

I liked the Reading Video. It was bery cool. I like how they used the Black Eyed Peas song "I've Gotta Feeling".

I agree with Sarah that they should have kept the days of the week in the song.

My Mom and I watched the video and she thought is was a great video. She liked the part where the school joined in slowly then everyone was part of the dance.

In the video I liked how the kids all used books for props to dance with. I wonder if they chose their books or if their teacher randomly gave them books. I also wonder if they pricticed before they taped it. I think that we should do something like that in our school.
My brother was watching it and now he has the song stuck in his head.

I love that song! I love how they changed it from I Gotta Feeling to Gotta keep reading. I listened to it like 5 times in a row. :) And I agree with !OO $@r@!-! that it was really cool how they started by reading and then at the end they were all dancing. I'm not sure which version I like better.... I think they are both awesome! I am listing to it while I write this! :) I wonder how many times they had to practice it before they made video? And how did they get the birds eye view?? Do you think I could get the reading song on my Ipod? Now THAT would be really cool. :D Maybe they will make a reading song.




From the person that really should make a song about cats :) :) KITTYS RULE THE WORLD!! MWAH HA HA HA >:3

I loved that song! I think the singer was really good, and the lyrics were very good. I think it is almost as good as the original "I Gotta Feeling"! I liked how the students danced and they were all together. I agree with Sarah that it looked really cool when it did a birds eye view and they squatted and bounced. I wonder who actually wrote that song? Do you think the students did?

I think that the person that was singing was a really good singer!! I liked the video but the real song I Gotta Feelin is like, my favorite song. I saw about 3 Series of Unfortunate Events books out there (AWESOME!!!!!!) I really like when in the real song it says monday tuesday..... but in this it says genres.... or how ever you spell it. It sounds like the real song. What does Calaberate mean?? I showed my brother and he said it was stupid..... Probably because he's 14 and doesn't seem to care about anything but rollercoasters and horror movies....... Any way AWESOME!

I agree with Sarah. I like how they took a hit song and made it good for school purposes. My favorite part was when the all went down to the ground and started bouncing. I just think it was funny and cool. I like how Sarah said Bird's-eye-view. I think that is a good way to describe it. I wonder if the girl who was singing was from that school or if she was older. I wonder that because, as Sarah said, she was very gifted. Sarah is right, this video is good for al ages ( but I don't think that kindergardeners would understand it). I know my mom really liked it. It is a very catchy song. Yeah, why can't WE do that Mrs. Simonds???

I love this song. It's so good. I listen to it all the time!(My brother gets annoyed with that.) I get bored with the usual, "I got a Feeling", but this song is really good!!!! I like how the kids are the band!! I can't believe it was a middle school in Maine!!!! That's so cool!!!!!! They had to get permission from big music companies!! The words were so good. They should do that with another song!!!

I thought this was a very good song. They had good words to the song. Like "Gotta keep reading!" instead of " I gotta feeling". Im sure it took years to come up with the words to that song. Its also pretty cool how the whole school was apart of this. It looked like everyone cooperated. I noticed at the beginning they're all serious about everything. Then at the end they're going crazy. They think no one will notice.....

I think they went a bit over board. Reading is cool but a music video?!?!?!?!?!?! I wonder why they did it? I liked the band (not the black eyed peas) but the middle schoolers who played the song. I agree with Sarah can't we do it????? I think they videoed the movie very well. I wonder if they were in a plane or a tree? I think it would be cool if fireworks went off in the end and book dude aka the book mascot yelled "Read the books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then a F-15 jet launched more fireworks.

I think that it was a great video that everyone should watch. I like how they changed the words of a well known song. I think that makes people want to hear it.
I like how they all started dancing at the same time. The cool part is that a middle school here in Maine did it. I recomend this video to everyone. From(the dude that likes cheese a 100x more then Fred Figgle Horn)

I think that they should make another song only base it on a different one. It probably took them a long time to make. I like how they list different genre's of books. I recomend you start playing 2 at the same time. It sounds weird.I wonder if they do 1 on math.(I hope not.)From(the dude that likes cheese 1,000,000,000,000x more then Henry)Cheeseball

I think it is really cool how they did this.To "I Gotta Feeling" It must have taken a long time to do this. I have sean people on TV get sewed for sing songs by other artists like Black Eyed Peas.But they're too nice to do that.That dude has a awesome guitar or bass I don't know.It looks like the piano was really cool and easy.
