{{/usCountry}}One person in the YouTube comments said, "I love how he slowly turns, and it zooms out to show the other conductor there, so enthusiastically ready to hijack the orchestra for such a wholesome prank. " A second person said, “I don't know why this made me cry. Like if I were him, I would be crying. Having a whole orchestra sing YOU happy birthday is incredible and a once-in-a-lifetime thing. It made me emotional for some reason”. "It's always amazing to see the reactions of people they sing for! They get excited, yet at the same time, they get awkward and don't know how to handle the moment, but still enjoying it. Always great!" said a third.
