This is my boyfriend and I's absolute favourite version of this song... I love the soloist's voice, and the way he sang it... Also to the beat-boxer... YOU ARE MY IDOL, and I'd like to marry you.
The gentleman on the end with the red hair is obviously a true musician, a venerable afficianado of all things vocally possible sans instruments. I wish him the greatest, possible, ever but then, he already has it doesn't he since he is able to "get into" the music better than most that I've seen in a while. Ciao bella!
i love the guy who beat boxes when he really gets into the song and he starts to hop around!!! makes me laugh but you guys are soooo amazing!!! and have you guys ever done any eric whitacre?
i think my favorite part about this video.. besides of course the beautiful aesthetic quality of you guys' amazing voices.. is the short dude with the light colored suit on. hahaha. where'd you come from shawty?
Thus is my favourite version of this song, and my favourite performance, I prefer it to the one on the cd. Its a shame everyones heads are glowing cause the camera isnt that great, cause u r good looking guys.
I noticed something that is interesting (to me). This is the only video of this song in which we are wearing suits, but do not have our coats buttoned. Strange. It's probably because we weren't originally planning on performing it.
It makes me smile how much the beat-boxers gets into the song. And you can see he tries to contain himself but at the end he's like AHH FORGET IT! and lets go
You know, one thing that really irritates me is that I know the applause for this probably dang near bought the house down, would be nice to hear a second or two of it.
just take my word for it...there was thunderous applause.
and i'm sorry that it irritates you so much... but unfortunately, my camera only had so much space...so i tried to get as little extra as possible (the less clapping...the more 'fellas, you know).
i now have an extra memory card, so maybe next time i can get more of the crowd's appreciation.
Hey, I really like the composition of this song and it was sung amazingly... Im in an a group also called the AcaFellas (only one 'C' lol) and I was wondering if you all would be willing to share the sheet music for this song if you have any! Appreciate it!
Outstanding!!! Only heard one better ever.... Freshman Fifteen's version. (Buckley's too, obviously)
