Ben Wexler, you're such an amazing and talented musician and I will be really appreciated how successful you'll become. I will wish all the bests for you :)
I like you a lot Micah !! You have a really great skills of beatboxing. Keep up the great work ! I'm looking forward to hear your vocal percussion in next songs.
There are so many levels of brilliance to the musical arragment of this song that I don't even know where to begin. It's truly a master piece of style, structure, harmony, tempo change. I can't imagine how many hour went into mastering this vocally, as well as writing it. Bravo!
Loooooove this & agree with the other comments that u guys did an amazingly awesome version :) barbershop = <3
also i think u guys would be perfect for singing a barbershop version of "tie me down" by new boyz especially the beginning part, that would legit! haha
I've got to admit that I ended up watching this just because I love Sam's work, but it is also true that I ended up loving this because of everything else but that Sam's in it! :) Please add more videos!
I hate this song also, but this was absolutely incredible. I was a musical director for my a cappella group for 2 years, and this is absolutely something I wish I was able to perform. Who arranged this? Because they are extremely gifted. This is coming from a Vocal Performance and Theory Major.
Hahaha! Who cares how similar it is to the original? The point is, as the description says, it's "their own rendition." I just love the fact that it's a bunch of college guys singing Rihanna!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
not that i could ever do this in a million years but i am still not a fan of this version of the song, thought it kinda sucked...the love me dead a Capella was much better check it out
I really don't like this at all. So much of what makes the original a true classic (the production & track, and the defiant quality of Rihanna's voice) is completely gone.
This is kind of garbage.
It's a terribly heavy stone on the "white people ruin things" side of the scale.
hey i was in vocal forte competing in the highschool finals in new york, and my whole group and director all agreed that we thought you guys should have won! you guys were soo amazing and totally got gypped with 4th place...
Someone sent me this link last night and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since... you guys are the shizz! Arrangement is epic win :) any chance you'll upload more tracks from the new album?
this is the most beautiful arrangement I ever heard.
