Well, the Antwerp one was, essentially, a giant commercial so I wouldn't call it the same vein.
I can't quite put my finger on it but I enjoyed the Sound of Music one much better. Maybe it was the lack of screaming and the close ups of the shocked crowd. Not saying I didn't like this. I just enjoyed the other one more.
ETA: These performances are being organized by a group called BREAK OUT IN SONG

Yeah youre correct, Eris0303. Its not exactly the same vein (since the T-Mobile ones have been big elaborate rehearsed commercials). But Flash-Mobs are still pretty freaking fun!
In SF, these things happened a lot in Union Square... like a big group of people did Carrying the Banner from NEWSIES a few years ago. I love this kinda sh*t!
