Hey ya'll :) This is Jason Mabie from the 2003 Men's Octet (Shout), (Nirvana medley), (3rd solo in My Girl), etc. I just moved to L.A. and I'm working on building a presence in the scene here. It would REALLY help if you became a fan on my music website. Debut album to be released soon! Thanks for adding me as a fan and helping me in negotiating shows with venue managers :)
REVERBNATION daht com, search Jason Mabie, and become a fan. Thank you so much!
this was amazing! the thing people don't understand, is this IS supposed to be funny and elicit audience responses- it the style originated as a busking craft, I'm a 10+ year barbershop performer- and if the audience were dead fish, it would be a sad performance...
this was amazing! the thing people don't understand, is this IS supposed to be funny and elicit audience responses- it the style originated as a busking craft, I'm a 10+ year barbershop performer- and if the audience were dead fish, it would be a sad performance...
To everyone who's complaining about the audience: You see how many heads are in the way of that camera? Funny thing about that, it means that the person recording this wasn't doing so by the request of the school or the Octet, meaning the audience doesn't know that the performance is being recorded, and that being the case, the audience can react to this amazing performance however they want to.
To whoever choreographed this routine: HOW COULD YOU NOT INCLUDE A MOONWALK?????!!!
ok u have got to get the audience to shut up they are just too noisy and i would just listen because i like their singing and if SOMEONE was recording i would be plite and not scream thank you :)
what is it with all the hollowheads who laugh during acapella music? an attempt at hiding the fact that they can actually enjoy non-hiphop/rap/braindeath music, so their peers won't shove them out of the group? I have yet to find one acapella video where there isn't some bonehead laughing in the audience...
@xwcg If this Octet didnt want people to laugh then why the hell do they do the stupid dance moves, the comedy is part of thier performance so dont call the audience boneheads when this band are both about comedy and amazing singing.
@Dremth It would have been better if the stupid fuc*sticks in the audience would shut their f'in mouths. NO MANNERS. NO DISCIPLINE. They need to have their mouths ducktaped shut.
@jizames ..or sitting at home watching it on utube and being a spoilt a#hole.
Apparently everybody in the audience should be quiet so that the whiners here can have their pleasure, years later. Unbelievable what sense of entitlement some people have. Oh, and I'm sure the perfomers don't want any cheering or reaction for their hard work either- they are not important the utube bullies are.
To everybody who feels so special- go f#k yerself.
i refuse to believe micheal jackson is singing this. too close to the original. i mean this as a compliment to the singer, not as i think theyre faking it.
this is badass haha. and no joke, the "people always told me be careful what ya do" section is absolutly perfect, soloist has the perfect voice for that xD
I don't understand why some people perceive a public school as being any less impressive than a private one. Berkeley is one of the finest Universities.
xxballerina625xx No one is trying to imitate Michael Jackson, they just wanna have fun and entertain others! I don't know what's the problem with that -.- (sorry my english)
I don't think so, this kind of music is nothing without the public, awesome groups like this can''t do tings without the public, this is the kind of music that has to be appreciated with all the annoying public's screaming... that's me.
I agree. :-) These guys aren't just great singers, they are great crowd pleasures. They're comical. This wouldn't be half as good without the crowd. They wouldn't be dancing as much, or making it so funny.
crowds follow the people who are fantastic entertainers and this group is nothing but great performers and i bet they would be just as amazing and exciting if there was 5 or 5 million watching and listening its just what good musicians do
we rlly lost a great talent in M.J. okso his personal life was in controversy but his music was phenominal. R.I.P. Michael Jackson + moonwalk (what too soon?)
i wonder if there is a cd out this is amazing. as is hte rest of the work. a definate thumbs up
