Rockapella - Stand by me

[L2b1serval]

The people who do the drum parts in A Capella groups always fascinate me for some reason. If I saw this live I'd probably watch him the whole time.

[danorviel]

The blond is Scott Leonard. I do admit he and Owen Wilson do look a LOT alike.

[666Brago]

Not my favorite song of all time but Rockapella is awesome

[000quicklist]

nice version :) Straight No Chaser still wins in this song to me!

[vincenzodentamaro]

Wonderful

[binduAj14]

[MrZoobidibop]

[moodswing18]

[QueensCompany7]

[nando8440]

Linda demais gosto demais.

[anabelachaves]

HOLY CRAP, owen wilson knows how to sing!!

[mkubera1]

he's about to give that mic a bj

[obakex420]

@hugobossdb lmfao i don't watch american idol haven't since season 1 lol. goodbye troll

[obakex420]

@hugobossdb how about i just click your name on the side and those are the first 5 vids you thumbed up on your main page you douche now i won't respond again cause its consuming time i don't have.

[obakex420]

@hugobossdb stick to giving thumbs up to pi$s, bukkake, tennish playesr forehand technique and bmws like your other "likes" you gave thumbs up to you trolling f a g g o t.

[obakex420]

@hugobossdb hey troll, yes thats when they advertise they are saying its to find America's best musician, and its all a bunch a BS lies..cause thats all tv is nowadays is fake a $ $ reality shows. which is why i said that these guys are better.

[obakex420]

@hugobossdb how about even rockapella when they just started were better? because american idol is a rigged sham thats based on looks ratings not on singing ablitities. and people all go to american idol to "sing' and none of them can. so why are they IDOLS? is my point. if you agree then why argue. stop trolling.

[bobcatpretzel1]

ROFL the guy in the leather looks like he's ready to rock--in a friggin' library...

[vinigg2]

muito bom, o baixo subtono em 1:53 mais fico muito bom. se a subtonada foi pq ele quis me perdoe.

[agatka24wwo]

professional !!!!



[MrSSSSS09]

looks like he swallowed a bug from 00:16-00:18 or so lol

[biozamadotcom]

the voice is a great instrument

[DragonLord1975]

26 people oughta be feelin' V.I.L.E. right about now.

[Kurt1994Cobain]

doo wop??

[Acepryus]

Wow, I haven't seen Barry Carl in a while. I can't believe he's 60 now.

Still a great voice, as always.

[phantomzyrus]

I don't think the lead is good...

At all.

Bass is good though...

[TheHaRdRoCkRuLeZ]

@phantomzyrus well, then try to sing as the lead...

[treysparker]

@phantomzyrus

How the hell could you think that? Hes an incredible singer. I say that as a music producer who sees at least 10 different "professional" artists each day...

[phantomzyrus]

@treysparker He just doesn't have a strong voice.

It's like he's a bass who's singing Tenor...

Maybe it's because he moves the mic around too much...

[ILoveYourMumAndChips]

@phantomzyrus Well, to be honest, if you think he's no good then that's your opinion but he's recognised in the music industry as pretty damn good. And the top of the range mics they use wouldn't start to suffer from diminished capabilites until they were more than just arms length away.

[phantomzyrus]

@ILoveYourMumAndChips Well, if it sin't the mic then it's the singer...

[robohobo]

@phantomzyrus The empirical evidence suggests that the lead is actually a good singer. General rule of thumb though, if you don't need autotune to sound like this, then you can be called a good singer.

[teamlegend52]

anyone else think that a tv contest for a group with classical training would be a good idea?

[thefays15]

voca people own these guys but these guys are bad ass too

[KingLumague]

Anybody else notice he's a little off when he says 'done' the first time?

[bigbroon]

@KingLumague

If you could point out at which point in the entire song he says "done," I'd be more than willing to give you my opinion. As it is, I can't remember him singing "Done" at all!

[KingLumague]

@bigbroon Sorry, I meant dark (sounded like done to me). But at the very beginning: "When the night has come, and the land is dark". The dark just sounds off to me.

[roxbball6]

You rock <3

[ilovepies16]

man i wish i could sing like that guy. farrrout.

[profoundlyemily]

BASS!!! <33333333

[TheISHISHISH]

This sounds AMAZING!!!!

[jpatton1989]

This line up right here is the best bass and soprano I've ever heard. The new bass vocalist is not as good as Barry Carl.

[zgirl777]

Wow. His voice is angelic. Amazing.

[meganallain]

LOVE! just sayin.

[Cll4D]

25 people need someone to stand by them!

[SuperDoetinchem]

@Cll4D it is 29 nine now.

[markinsiam]

@Cll4D 1,421 likes, 29 dislikes... 29 people need to get laid...!

[avin4723]

@markinsiam this song didn't work for 29 guys that serenaded girls. :P only explanation

[JC040696]

the bass is freaking awesome :D seriously, who can sing like that through out the song?

[Marqania]

These were the guys who sang the Carmen San Diego theme, right? So happy they're still around!

[Cavalistik]

the lead singer resembles owen wilson...

[mrdanepic]

24 people are idiots 

[kyle24411]

@mrdanepic make tht 25 

[beleafer03]

Andy Bernard would have killed it in this group

[RobbieRoberto07]

@beleafer03 - The nard dogg woulda done wonders for this group

[Coachrob36]

@beleafer03 true

[hawickman]

Lead singer doesn't make it. Too young, not deep enough(I do mean his voice). Not being nasty, love the sound, just a slight adjustment

[pwebsers]

@hawickman He sung most of it was in Falsetto, and this song is usually sung more in chest voice, to give it more impact. I did like this version. however.

And Bary Carl is the king of all Basses.

[annaax]

po prostu perfekcyjne wykonanie, zakochałam się

[B347l35]

They are all pretty good but dam, Lead vocals made me cry hahaha.

[imcrazy85]

HEY GUYS IF YA NEED ANOTHER MEMEBER HOLLA AT ME LOL I HAVE VIDS ON HERE!!!

[dustydaddyd]

that soloist is a god

[EliseMademoiselle]

musically orgasmic.



[1994maaike]

[cordoba14]

Is this Per Gessles brother?

[seanman129]

hey guess what people guess who gets to sing and open up for them in the church in collingswood in NJ, my 11 man accapella group Men of Note from Cherry Hill West. if you would like to see a good group and an amazing group like Rockapella perform come and see us on Dec.10 2010. May i say this grouping is amazing.

[skateboardguyLS]

@seanman129 haha sean, CONCEEDED, its lou

[seanman129]

@skateboardguyLS hah im just stateing a fact hah wats up.

This bass is ridiculously good ughh. hah im a tenor 1 hah.

[TeachESL]

Just saw them for the first time this morning on Fox! They are great!!

[JInnestigers]

To the person wanting to know if this performance was available on DVD. Yes it is called Rockapella In Concert.

[MrCj101111]

damn this is good!

[FluxstyleProductions]

Those guys still look so young... how old are they actually? o.o

[beblondbird]

@FluxstyleProductions Barry is now 60, and Elliot and Scott are both early 50's. Jeff is early 40's- all from IMDB. Not sure how old Kevin is, but the one that replaced him, Steve Dorian, is 33 I believe. 

[fredz8]

that flows smoothly like a river :-) can't take so much greatness

[bandnerd1548]

20 people have no ears, no heart, and no soul.

[SpeedyBozar]

Seriously. How the fuck can I see how many people have seen this video? Sry for the language.

[Corngasim]

Oh god I love the one Prince Royce sings, But I love this one more~~♥♥

[filojason]

 owen wilson

[lentilka9majka]

It´s beuautiful ! I love it :) 

[GtzBxBeAuTy]

I think this awesome. I love it!

[rastabibi]

@VONerSHUCK yea you defenitly shouldn't say another word you don't know shit 'bout music and talent

really wtf just don't leave a comment anymore in your live about music

[hunli]

@rastabibi you're right to be mad at the comment...but he was obviously joking hence the ":P" at the end.

[fuexiong]

@VONerSHUCK

just what we needed, an asshole who wants attention

[TheSillypink]

@VONerSHUCK meaine meanie meanie UR A FUKING MEANIE U DONT NEED TO TELL US!!!!

[engelmichael]

@VONerSHUCK , please upload youre own song then you jealous men/woman!

[TheSillypink]

so beiber beiber y dont u die????

[Utogaro]

Among the best vocals i have ever heard, or may ever hear.

[PURPLEFIJIMAN]

beautiful harmony

[jamesloves2sing]

Hilarious bunch of whits singers...(NOT) these guys are great and there not out of sync please., Ya better clean out your ears seriously LMAO

[VONerSHUCK]

sorry they are not even in sync.. I know they are a bunch of white performers.. but no real talent and no real practice or sync.. Sad...

[patrickluring]

@VONerSHUCK listen closely: the only one who is not in sync is the lead singer... and thats called improv....

when u want to be negative search for BRITIANS GOT TALENT

[VONerSHUCK]

@patrickluring .... Well if you say that they are not out of Sync... But you do say it is the Lead... so hmmm I guess you agree the group is out of sync... .. Want true Accapella ... try listening to Persuasions..

[VONerSHUCK]

@VONerSHUCK well since the actual post was either .. ganked or I was not able to sayabaout how why Race ( I am also white) has a true reason of acutual singing abailty it is now for you to be 12 years oild

[legoland626]

@VONerSHUCK

You make absolutely no sense and your grammar/spelling is horrible. These guys preform with such harmony I wouldn't understand why someone would think otherwise. The lead has an incredible voice.

[uconnstudent]

@VONerSHUCK

wow, this group is actually amazing. im finishing my PhD in vocal music and piano performance and I cant find anything wrong with this groups performance. keep your peanut gallery critic comments to urself and go watch something more relevent to you....like doctor phil, or opera

[limecayman]

@VONerSHUCK What does the fact that they're white have to do with anything..?

[behold888]

@VONerSHUCK yeah... umm... that's just false information. (yes, they're white. no, they're not bad)

[suicidalbunny1500]

@VONerSHUCK Sir, you have the shittiest pair of ears in the world if you think these guys are out of sync. go back to your middle school choir room

[lnsordo91]

the leadsinger is so flawless.....

[Donkeydude88]

I swear I thought I saw OwenWilson.

[ramommeke]

OMG

[wthlolrofllmao1234]

DAMN!!! they sing amazingly. lol

[luv2act976]

Straight No Chaser is WAY better!!! i mean the guy has a really good voice but check Straifgt No Chaser out!!!

[spazzumgurl]

@luv2act976 honestly, Straight No Chaser wouldn't have a genre if not for Rockapella. These guys made a cappella cool back in the day. Granted, I love SNC, but Rockapella is tops of the genre.

[smallill]

l'animadelimortaccitua... fenomeno

[sitaaqua]

wow!!! 

[MachineAgeVictim]

Where in the Worid is Carmen Sandiago?

[rjayz2]

wow

[vanessacool]

Omg Reminds me of camping with hannah :O

iLoveeeYouuu

[lozzijade88]

so amazing

[obakex420]

way better than any american idolists..all of em are...

[klongs]

@obakex420 I wonder if that has anything to do with their age and how long they've been doing it for...

[DatAnnika]

scott looks so cute! ♥

[prundurel]

super tare!!

[TheNightsShadow93]

simply amazing.

[infantrymagik]

The original is awesome, but wow....the acapella version is something awesome too!

[joyceverwaayen24]

this is beautiful !

[EnigmaDrath]

If I were to train long and hard, dedicated years to fine-tuning my singing abilities, and strive to achieve my personal best ... I'd still be about 1/1000000000000000000000 a singer these guys are. They're amazing! LOL

[dlgrafton09]

Back in 1994 I saw them in concert...back with Sean, Elliott, Barry and Scott...Jeff was a new addition. Spent most of the autograph signing with Scott and even got a kiss on the cheek...amazing moment for someone who worshipped these guys and thought Scott was the hottest thing around...and that voice!

[Xitlalic]

It's a nice arrangement, however i think it would suite their voices better if it were in a lower key.

[Twentysixbillion]

I just downloaded a heap of this accidentally, yeah they are cool and interesting, but only for a few songs. I have like way too many songs I need to delete them they make me feel sick. sorry I know you probably all like them and I agree they are cool, that's just my opinion

[videofonico]

Luke Wilson can sing, who knew?

[antisbest]

@videofonico i think u mean owen lol

[videofonico]

@antisbest Yes, I said Luke to see if you were paying attention :p

[Thom685]

@videofonico more like owen wilson..

[AndrewMcy]

i guess the Bass need to drink after!!!hihi

[CCSLASH1]

first heard these guys on carmen sandiego and was hooked. after seeing them, or rather hearing them on Spike Lee's Do It Accapella.....done deal! amazing group

[A2dasea]

my dad

[kelvin6pisces]

the lead singer sings so effortlessly that its just amazing

[TheGuitarDude92]

Love this singers vioce, new fav cont. music group. :P lol, oh and What is with these new rating "thumbs". PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD YOUTUBE!!!! lol,

[A2dasea]

ONE WORD

GREATNESS

[SuperKing907]

the lead singer got MAD control!! very good! 5 star!

[nickylolo]

I swear every time they sing, I feel like I died & went to heaven. XD The main guy's voice, what a girl wouldn't do to hear that voice!!! JUST LOVELY!!! LOVELY!!

[lixousze10]

You are the best!

[TheKeenanBoy]

that bass is freaking amazing

[ozieska8ing]

ORGASMIC

[JimiGoode]

definitely one of the best vocalists I've ever heard, and I've never seen anybody else really have that kind of control over every aspect of a vocal performance... and I am the only one who thinks that he looks like Eric Johnson? I think he has a a similar voice too, just he's a lot better

[apeocherio]

Shit man..... That lead is fantastic. im truly jealous.

[pongie11]

THAT IS FUCKING Beautyful! Look how he moves the microphone. It takes long time to controel a microphone so it works perfect with the voice as you hear his voice does.!

[woutertron]

Except with modern compression technology, there's no reason to do that.

[roadrunnerblink]

is it annoying to anyone else that the singer comes in too early on EVERY line ??

[MonsuerLePlague]

Maybe you're hearing it wrong ^^;;

[saeyoungyi]

nope

because it's called style

[rastabibi]

is it annoying to everyone that your a whining dick YES

[roadrunnerblink]

@rastabibi - unfortunately you are from belgium, and therefore your opinion does not matter to me. have a nice life. x
