I MISS ROCKAPELLA!! My kids grew up on "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego and Rockapella. I heard someone singing Silver Bells just now and told my youngest (29 yrs old) I miss hearing...and she finished the sentence...Rockapella singing it. So, here I am walking down memory lane...OH YEAH!!
Of course he isnt! He's a cyborg sent from the future to wipe out our inferior race with his pure awesomeness. X-D I kid, I kid. You know, it almost sounds (and looks) like he's rubbing the microphone across the stubble on his chin. Other than that, I have absolutely no idea how he could be doing that sound. I guess that's the wonder that is Jeff Thacher.
I'm never one for the "cover" songs. I like most of Rockapella's original songs better. But this song and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" are so beautifully arranged and executed that they've become two of my Rockapella favorites. Just gorgeous harmonies!
yeah i know what you mean. Usually christmas songs are arranged crappy and reall cheesy. But rockapella change all that and now i actually like the songs. lol
I think what he's saying is that he has a version of this that is either not by Rockapella, or just does not have a vocal percussionist in it. If I'm reading that correctly.
lol sorry every one.. Ill say it again.. I have an mp3 of Rockapella from the album Three Bash or something like that.. In that, There is no beat boxing.. This YouTube clip has that dude doing his beat box thing which is awesome.. I just wish that my mp3 had the beat boxing too..
Well, if you go on to the iTunes store, they have the two Christmas albums for Rockapella, and the one titled "Rockapella Christmas" has the Silver Bells arrangement that is shown here. I have both of the CDs and I love them. This group is amazing.
I LOVE Elliott's voice in this song.... *swoon!!* lol! & Jeff's amazing sleigh bells at the end! He sounds just like them!! All the guys are equally good in this song though.
aw, prob my fav xmas song from them! singing like this makes me want to be able to sing. there's nothing like a good ol' group of singers. [and good ones at that]
Barry Carl = BEAST!

@icybear1 The best bass in an acapella group ever. I'm a second tenor, so I'm jealous of his cool, low voice.

Beat-boxing is vocal percussion. It's one of many different styles.

Yes, I know that. On the other hand, bhsbass does not seem to understand this concept.
