The PS 22 Chorus from Staten Island received a public apology from their biggest critic, mean old Andy Cohen, on national television... and they just got a little apology note in the mail as well. The kids joke around singing him a song, "(Too Late To)" Apologize by One Republic. In the end, however, they all forgive him... and also give him a word of advice: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

On Staten Island, the chorus at P.S. 22 has gotten themselves into the spotlight with some help from YouTube and their 36-year-old director Gregg Breinberg. The NY Times reports that Breinberg's bunch has performed everything from Viva la Vida by Coldplay to Flying Dutchman by Tori Amos. One 10-year-old voice in the contemporary chorus says, “When I get depressed, I think about my songs and it makes me feel better. I also sing for Mr. B because he takes his own time to teach me, and so I always put in a 100 percent effort because that’s a really cool thing for him to do.”
