A choir (/ˈkwaɪ.ər/) (also known as a chorale or chorus) is a musical ensemble of singers. Choral music, in turn, is the music written specifically for such an ensemble to perform. Choirs may perform music from the classical music repertoire, which spans from the Medieval era to the 2010s, and/or popular music repertoire. Most choirs are led by a conductor, who leads the performances with arm and face gestures.
A body of singers who perform together as a group is called a choir or chorus. The former term is very often applied to groups affiliated with a church (whether or not they actually occupy the choir) and the second to groups that perform in theatres or concert halls, but this distinction is far from rigid. Choirs may sing without instrumental accompaniment, with the accompaniment of a piano or pipe organ, with a small ensemble (e.g., harpsichord, cello and double bass for a Baroque era piece), or with a full orchestra of 70-100 musicians.
The term "Choir" has the secondary definition of a subset of an ensemble; thus one speaks of the "woodwind choir" of an orchestra, or different "choirs" of voices and/or instruments in a polychoral composition. In typical 18th- to 21st-century oratorios and masses, chorus or choir is usually understood to imply more than one singer per part, in contrast to the quartet of soloists also featured in these works.

Plot: Janet is an attractive and together young woman smart enough to be cognizant of a female's frequently precarious position in the corporate hierarchy. Steve is the business owner's brother and an insufferable chauvinist boor.

Tricked into lunch alone with Steve, Janet suffers his outrageous and demeaning discourse as long as she can, until she can only retreat into her imagination... A place where she can safely deal with a creature such as this. A place where she can make him sharply aware of the error of his ways.

#TonyPatrony The One Voice Children's Choir takes the stage next. Despite their name, the Utah-based choir group is actually one hundred voices strong, and their talent becomes clear when their performance begins. Afterward, the judges offer mixed reviews. Howard and Heidi loved the performance, but Mel B and Howie aren't sold on the act. I have serious doubt about Howie and Mel B when they turn down an act like this but acvance a jackass like Colombian rollerblade dancer Juan Carlos who performed earlier in this episode.

I could tell you there is no troll in the valley
No tricky ghoul behind the trees
Yeah, I could tell you there is no molester
In the alley
To take a lead pipe to your knee
But you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
You won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
Rivers flowing through your precious body blue
Trickle crimson when the chicken claws you
I could assure you
You could not be swallowed by the ground
Since we've moved away from L.A.
And I could tell you no child of Jesus will be found
Under rubble somewhere today
But you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
You won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
Rivers flowing through your precious body blue
Trickle crimson when the chicken claws you
Yes, I could swear it
I will not betray another friend
I've found true love and I've lost an eye
And I might promise never to hurt you again
Cross my contrite heart, hope to die
But you won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
You won't believe it 'cause it ain't true
Rivers flowing through your precious body blue
