Alexa Chung Joins The PS22 Chorus!?

Well, not quite! But the PS22 Chorus of 2009 did have a very special reunion on Monday, making their second appearance on MTV on It's On With Alexa Chung! (They were featured on MTV News just 2 weeks before!) The kids did a brilliant job on "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga, and you can check out their spectacular performance below! The video is even featured on the MTV Buzzworthy Blog!

UPDATE: The above video doesn't seem to be working for everyone on the blog. If you can't see it here, you should be able to see it by clicking on the MTV Buzzworthy Blog link.

In addition to what you see here, they also aired footage from our friends, Passion Pit! Apparently when the band was on Alexa's show last Thursday, they taped a special message for the chorus, which was shown live on Monday's broadcast! The message began with the entire group shouting out, "Congratulations!" Drummer Nate Donmoyer then continued, "You're in the best children's choir in the world. And if you ever get stuffed into a locker [in middle school], just call us and we'll take care of it." Good to know the chorus has such an awesome support system! Safe to say that after the performance the kids gave that afternoon, the group earned the support of the entire studio audience as well!

Throughout all these amazing successes the chorus has had, the kids have remained grounded and humble. I've always felt the force behind their music and success is an incredible depth of spirit and personality. They are truly an incredible bunch, as evident in this behind-the-scenes video! And hey, check out Alexa Chung on those keys!

UPDATE (8-6-09)Today our behind-the-scenes at the Alexa Chung show vid has earned 11 YouTube honors, including the #15 most watched music video today!! Check 'em out below!

Aside from showing the versatility of talents behind Alexa Chung, the video relays perfectly the personality behind the PS22 Chorus. (I've watched it more than the actual performance!) Watching it, I feel so lucky to work with these fantastic little people. And boy did they do PS22 proud on Monday! Pepsi showed the MTV audience how to seriously get down!

Tirzah did an absolutely brilliant job on the lead vocals of "Just Dance," and looked and sounded like the bonafide celeb she and the group are fast becoming! Mariah spoke beautifully and lit up the stage with her presence and sweetness!

The one tragic mishap of the day was that I completely forgot to play the bridge of the song that leads into Mariah's rap. I didn't even realize it until the kids told me backstage. Mariah handled it like a pro, and she was consoling me, as it seems I was the one who was devastated about her not doing her part. How about these kids, eh? They really have it together. The only one who doesn't apparently is their director....

On a happier note, the chorus got to see Marlon Wayans in transit from the stage back to the green room after the performance. He waved and gave a big thumbs up for a job well done! So cool!! And the icing on the cake for the kids was when they got to meet the very sweet Disney Channel darling, Selena Gomez, star of Another Cinderella Story! She gave lots of hugs and took the time to pose for some pics with the kids!

All in all, it was an amazing day! Thanks to Alexa Chung and the producers at MTV for having us on the show, and for giving the PS22 Chorus the opportunity to have a one-of-a-kind family reunion! Lots of gratitude as well go to Ms. Lisa for filming, and Mrs. Johnson & my pops for the amazing pics you see here!

Oh yeah, and we all agreed Alexa Chung has a cool accent and is mighty pretty!!
