Amanda Gormanâs poetry is a prayer for America and the world.
The so called flaws and imperfections makes the speaker perfect. I am moved to tears by the power of this speaker
She truly touched me .
Me too ! It makes me cry every time
Me too!! This is what we need right now!
@@yoso5934 Every time
Phenomenal black women she was absolutely breath taking.
I would never have known she had a struggle with speech. I loved her clothes, her face especially her hands beautiful.. Absolutely beautiful and endearingâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđšđŠđšđŠ
I know nothing about poetry or proper public speaking techniques but i thought she looked and sounded like a princess. Mesmerizing young lady
@Fred Farkle?

And thatâs on BLACK EXCELLENCE đâ€ïž
Black women EXCELLENCE.
HELLO FROM COMPTON CA...MAGGIE
SHE WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE HEALING OF THIS NATION...đșđž IT MAKES ME PROUD TO BE AMERICAN...
YES! I feel the same way! This lady will go so far in life!!!â€ïžđđ„
Wonderful!
She makes me proud to be a black woman living in this racist country America
@@nacculatevassell8138 Yep! Amerikkka..
I think she was great .
That's how you address people when you get up and speak in church. This young lady knows what she's doing đđđâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Thanks for sharing @K Deloris đ„
@ K Deloris..a black church.

She was great, amazing. I am from Germany and I find it wonderful.
Hello from Boston đ
@Marten Dekker You might want to check out this break down. czcams.com/video/yyjUG1zwjeo/video.html
@Marten Dekker HATER.
@Marten Dekker Your seething jealousy is pathetic. You can take your hate and shove it. After that, just go sit down somewhere.
There is nothing wrong with her actions. She is perfect.
Just think there are two of them shes a twin her sister is a filmmaker screen writer and her name is Gabrielle
Wow I didnt know she was a twin
Never a greater contrast than between Amanda and the nutcases invading the capitol a couple weeks before.
Exceptional! Well done girl. Maya Angelou will be smiling down on you from heaven for doing justice to the art of words. May Americans see truth and be brave to be it.
Her speech was PERFECT!! One can tell that she's a very INTENSELY expressive person!! Her posture, diction/cadence and inflection were all in alignment with her delivery of her lyrics!!! Her work was reminiscent of Maya Angelo!! BEAUTIFULLY done!!!đđŻ
@ P.W: Yes indeed! Her delivery was captivating. Her speech at Harvard University also received a standing ovation. Check CZcams to see some of her spectacular performances.
She gives me chills.
She said she suffers from a speech impediment. She couldn't even properly pronounce her last name. Some effects lingered till she was 20. She's 22 now. Never give up, no excuses.
I'm reading these comments and I am super surprised that people are surprised that Amanda used notes and not a teleprompter & spoke with her hands. Maybe it's generational thingđ€·đżââïž. And the thing about looking at the camera is lame. Giving a speech is based on speaking to the audience in front of you. A person speaking straight to a camera should look at a camera. But she is speaking at an event. Similar to a speaking at a graduation...focus on the crowd not the camera. Even Trump knew that while speaking at his rally. And maybe it's a black thing. Black pastors, civil right leaders, poets, spoken word lovers, and R&B singers speak with their whole body. Geez, I work in tech in silicon valley and my team always give me kudos for my presentations. There is an old saying in the American Black community: Speak it into existence with your whole body & soul. Great job, Amanda!â€
@blackCaliGirl661 - Thanks for taking the time to add value and for commenting. She did a spectacular job addressing her audience in-person and her presence was felt virtually, no doubt about that. It would be great if more people spoke with their whole body & soul and we can all learn from Amanda's delivery.
@blackCaliGirl661 Exactly....you hit the nail on the coffin. I remember it being known as singing or speaking with expression back in the 80s and 90s. Gospel singers were known to sing and speak as such. You can feel her passion and soul in her speech.
It's just in her..lol. that's a norm for black people to use body language and hand gestures. Just observe them when they're in conversation with one another.
Man you're funny..but I guess its normal if you dont understand our culture.
@@Bantuqueen01 bravo đ we don't need to be critiqued we are who we are. Her delivery was like watching a ballerina expressing her story
This beautiful young woman is simply phenomenal.
Absolutely. My husband and I were saying how beautiful she is with her beautiful skin and how well she did.
SHE MAKES ME CRY... Maggie
@@janiceharris5475 this is the type of influenster you want your kids to follow, the type of mindset she has.
Very inspirational
It's the way we speak. We are full of expression. It's not something we practice, it's who we are.
It's also what's misunderstood or understood and not appreciated that gives rise to the ability of others to claim that we are either arrogant or intimidating. We've never been boring or monotoned.
it's HER way HERshow
Wow, this was well said. I remember going into an interview and explaining something, and using my hands, to explain somethings, and found that the person sitting in front of me was stiff, and almost motionless. I was extremely qualified, and she explained that, but I found out from a friend that she did not like me using my hands in the interview. I was sadden, but the next increase made me 8k more in my current position, and I was going to take a paycut to get into this position which was a step down, and would have ended up costing me about 15k a year less. I told my friend to thank her for not choosing me.
She is paving the way for people of color, women, and those born with speech impairments. So so so impressive. I couldnât ever do something like this- so powerful!!
I think she is paving the way for all us Americans, please donât miss the point of her poem... that would be sad
@karendear You can admire and enjoy a poet laurate. You are the most important person in the world. You can do things that make a difference.
Yes you can as a man thinket so is he , you can do all thing through Christ who strengthens you. Amen
@@southengirl1 She is definitely speaking for, and on behalf of all Americans, who have been hurting and hungering for change. Her poem speaks to every human being. Hopefully, we'll all listen and take something away to create our own necessary changes.
@@southengirl1 I don't think she missed anything. What she stated was that we are as one, but this country has been and horror story for a certain race, and this is undeniable. To take that away from from someone of color, and make it about all of is good, but it reminds them that this is never about you, and only about us. Because when you add them, and they are proud of seeing someone who may never have been in this position, and they finally make it there, WE SHOULD BE PROUD.
I am so happy Dr. Biden brought her to us. I have watched this poem so many times. Now following her. She is so inspiring!!! And watching her interviews, she is so humble and real. Love her and I now know who this firework is!! Love and light. She is a beacon of light
Her words so. Inspiring. In this dark time we are bruised brokenu ,but yet we are whole. We maybe shattered and scattered but yet we are whole ,how powerful....yet we still continue to climb our path to be who we are
We love her in Europe and the UK â€â€
She is a superb young poet. Her body gestures really flows with the words she was reciting.
Her voice and actions takes me back to Sunday mornings in my old Church in Cecil, Al. You can close your eyes and hear old southern pastors in every syllable
Dude, so good! Sheâs a Harvard grad bro!
Yes sir!
This is what Black Girl Magic is Kit...
Her body language was powerful.đ.
Amanda is a precious jewel!â€ïž
Amanda clearly love words and understand its importance, so she was able to immerse herself allowing expression that flows from her physical being as an orator .
This is true. In an interview with Anderson Cooper, when asked if she drew from images of the Capitol insurrection, she politely explained that she drew from news articles. Words speak to and inspire her more than photos and footage. For her, it's all about words. Language.
Angel! Thank you God for giving her to us!!!
Amanda's speech touch my heart
Thank you for your commentary, but I would not suggest to her to change anything, even her eye direction. It was a stellar performance of her genius ! â€ïž
Love this, Kit! It was so good what you said about how itâs ok to use notes!! And her body language was impeccable. I also loved how she seemed to crescendo with emotion as she neared the end.
Thanks Kelly! See you on Clubhouse =) Let's do another room together soon.
@@BostonSpeaks yes for sure!
Yeah, man. Well done. I'm very happy for you that this video is getting this level of recognition. Amazing response.
Hey Alex! Can't wait to see some of your reaction videos!
Yes! She was amazing. I LOVED her delivery. Thanks for breaking down what she did and why its SO important
Thank you for sharing!!

This young lady is talented,and beautiful.
The speech impediment she had was a treasure of genius,much love from mother Africa,south west Nigeria.
I have watched this poem delivered by Amanda 8 times now, and I donât think Iâll tire of her words or her delivery. She is infectious with her rhythm and poise and of course, her message - this girl is going places.
Perfection.
I never realized she was looking quite so often at her notes until you stopped the tape and pointed it out. This means that her presentation was such that she managed to camouflage her frequent checking of her notes with her hand gestures. Brilliant!
I liked how you said "camouflage her note checking", I might have to use that phrase in a video in the future đ
I dont know, but i liked that she was checking her notes. It made more real.
đ
Sheâs not âchecking her notesâ, sheâs reading the poem she wrote!!
I could agree with that... I called it checking her notes because I absolutely never felt that she was âreadingâ as such., but taking the occasional glance. Anyway, I was utterly impressed with her delivery and continue to marvel - read, check, recite...call it what you will.
Thank you for this review. Itâs very helpful and I learnt that hand gestures & body language are so powerful, not just words !
BLACK GIRL MAGIC âšâšâš gone clear.
Just is not always justice
Am obsessed with this speech she brought me down to tears đą đ đą
Her hand gestures drew me in more
What struck me and stayed with me the most is when she saidâ Quiet is not always peaceâ Yikes that was fiercely real!
Everytime I listen to her peom I cry. Joy fills my heart. Liked your reaction and comments on her body language and hand gestures. Right on pointđđŸđđŸđđŸ She did a beautiful job. One of the rising stars of this young generationđđđŸ
She is great really great beautiful and amazing
Amanda Gorman is so blessed to not have needed some of these people's in the comment section approval to speak at the at the inauguration.
As Amanda speaks of unity among humans and encourages to see our common interests, I cannot help but notice how she looks so East Asian despite being black. The only difference is her color and hair texture. If we saw more of how we are related and see the features we have in common, we might be less racist.
We who?
We aren't racist.
@ Luul Ma' ogi its because black is the dominant race..do your research you will find that Asia were black people.
By the way, that sound like a racist comment. Like blacks dont have different looks/ appearance. It's not the looks that not only makes us different but the culture, history and bloodline.
@@Narrow-Pather We humans.
Black people are known for having many hues, hair textures, ideals, actions and Features. You are aware of this, are you not?
God blesses you beautiful.. May God continue to shower you Amanda with His blessings. I became a writer, but due to poor circumstances i never get the chance to show the world my spoken words emitted from my heart.
She is another who has had to overcome a speech problem. She has said that among a few others, she had a problem saying the letter "R" and has to focus to overcome it and will often add the letter just to challenge herself.
And look at her now!
I like her style. It's wild. Her poem she obliterated. You felt the shrapnel of words she alliterated.
THANK YOU so much for breaking down this performance. I'll keep these in mind for my future spoken words.
Thanks for UR poem, that poem Touch many lives and changes many negitave thoughts and action but their will still find hater's but the few will soon wake up to reality.and sometime it's jealousy,.But always remember U where born Bless.and who God Bless no man curse .keep climbing to higher hights. The sky is the limit.. Bless U Ono đđđ
She is amazing!!!
She is perfectđ when you are speaking poems you let the body language first, you can't stand firm to speak poems you must let the body to act.
We do everywhere in the world.
She is perfect and the whole world is congratulation her. She doesn't want to mad a mistake that why she wrote them on the note.
Good comments. She's 22 years old with a slight speech impediment and yet she killed it. Considering, I can't wait to continue to watch her grow intellectually. Emotionally, she's already there, fully evolved. She's Wonderful... So proud for her.
Whenever I listen to her it brings tears to my eyes those are tears of joy !
Michael Anderson,I definitely agree..
Absolutely superb!
Wholistic words & performance!
She is not just using hand jesters. She is using a ASL. Many spoken word artists/poets incorporate ASL into their performances.
She was well respectful of all her audience!
Your comments are incredible
Thanks for your kind words Kelly.
She is phenomenal! She is looking at us. I love her!! The sun is shining on her.
I am a "Toastmaster" and these comments about Amanda's brilliant speech, gives me hints for delivering my speeches! So thank you much! Lynn Eyland, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I've been in Toastmasters for a while now. Have fun with your TM journey Lynn!

0:30 /// please note it is "light". ....where we can find light.
I'm gonna jump right out with some blasphemy here....I remember Maya Angelou's speech and while her 'sound' was so commanding, I really didn't feel her words. This young woman was utterly mesmerizing, and every line spoke to my heart.
That is so so so great
This is incredible! I learned so much. Thank you for your insight. Amanda Gorman ftw & Kit too!
I am a white 50 year old woman and I still tear up watching and listening to her. She made me listen. I am like a proud parent and I'm very proud of her representing our country. We need more people like her indeed. Just amazing !
Thanks for sharing Kit Hil
