The Achordants- Don't Stop Me Now

[mtownson7]

Great performance. The soloist's voice is incredible.

[mulukkujoonas]

holy shit,fantastic version...old asshole from finland...

[martyn580]

the microphone is not needed..it overpowers the other singers..if you know how to use your diaphragm properly ..you will not need the microphone

[spartanblooper117]

Obviously no one can sing it as good as Mercury, but from all the other people I've seen sing it, this guy is the best

[waggietoo]

I do all my songs a cappelle, come take a look, and dance too

[kajott68]

the achordans did a really good job ("freddy m." had the better voice, no doubt), BUT - the non-haired guy with the vocal-guitar all beats the rest. Hillarious!!! I love it! could watch the vid ever and ever.......

[BlackSG1]

He sounds good. Nobody's voice is on Mercury's level. Period. GTFO

[ryanrampage999]

ray william johnson on lead vocals

[Frozzy112]

lol that voice is effing ridiculous

[michelle31891]

The lead singer has great technique! I think he would sound great singing Journey as well!

[bromwichj123]

The soloist has a much better vocal range than Freddie

[LordKakumei]

@bromwichj123 no way, no how.

[bromwichj123]

@LordKakumei He may not be as famous or original as Freddy, but the fact is that the soloist has a better vocal range.

[immortalspacemonkey]

[FrankoEddie]

[Raida7]

[stupidfaceweirdo]

2:22 is beautiful man

[70Fissy]

love this guy

[pucks44]

last 5 seconds is pretty amazing!

[EddyDobi]

wow

[LiefWolfsbane]

this guy has an amazing voice!

As soon as he has the stage presence built up, he could prolly compete with adam lambert...maybe

[NewOrleanzSkater]

I know this dude on facebook. He didn't even make first round at american idol... Wtf is the matter with those producer? Look at this guy? He's pitch perfect, he has a great quality tenor tone/range. Although he doesn't seem to have much stage presence, that can be learned with time. Still american idol is dumb.

[XiaoPow]

Perhaps he was nervous and wasn't performing?

[ropstoob]

Great conclusion; of course american idol is dumb! It's not a about qualitiy or devotion, it's about popularity! So &*( idol-shows; people who are talented will get there without any help!

[Duanerocks]

haha yeah american idol has never been about the best singer.....

[TehOneKid]

@NewOrleanzSkater

I agree man, I know someone who's amazing. She is brilliant but same situation but in England where i live. She didn't get in and the X factor/American Idol or what ever you want to call it is not actually for talent, its for entertainment purposes only. They love people who create stories in the media to boost ratings ect. Look at Jedward in the UK.. They are the WORST singers yet went through for their "personality and style" but thats just the way this crap thing is.

[martinjr85]

FUCK that was awesome talented lead singer as well as all others

[Warrr194]

there fist dont stop me now chorus it needed to be louder

[faramiomir]

stunning

[xXmcr4everXx]

Hehe love the guy who does the guitar!!

[Renjikoi]

"turnin inside out" the guy who sang that part has an AMAZING high voice... :( wish i had that

[Koutsoras]

This is very good, coming from a reallllllly big queen fan

[cutegemini529]

LOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!

[beta010]

why does this not have more views????? promote this shit guys

[eeyoremadbitch]

HAHAHHA :L

the guitar soloist!!!

WHAT A LEGEND!!! (L)

they're amazing

all of them

and the main guys outstanding tbh

but they do all that with thier voices,

fautless. :D

[mydamnanus]

this is my absolute favourite song of them!

[Tevle]

WTF??? What a Lead-Singer??? His voice...just brilliant!!!

[lukaea]

wow, the lead singer has an awesome voice.

[omgeeitsxxmimi]

i think i am in love with the soloist.

[schrecklichkeit]

he has a good voice, but for such a song his body language is a shame

[devitta07]

schrecklichkeit, explain please. what should he be doing? doesn't he already upstage the GROUP with his vocals?

[squaresoft01]

I can kinda see what schreck is talking about to be honest. having a fantastic voice and putting on a great performance are two different things. what got me were the aimless shifting of weight between his feet and the aimless floating of his hands and arms. these are pretty basic mistakes and can be fixed with a little focus and practice. That aside theres no denying this guy has a ridiculous voice. I envy how easily he slips into his higher register. superb support and placement.

[eccabay08]

I'm going to have to agree with that!

[skilledsinger84]

its sad everytime i hear of this, i think of sean of the dead :-p. great voice

[jmh3252]

haha same here. and i thought i was the only one.

[JoesMusicalLife]

Your not alone lol

[Veitschuh]

You did a great job!!!

[vanityrivera]

<3 omg.

[uasscrack]

Ryan is so Kyot.. uhu

[DutchTimmie]

Jep amazing! I bet those guys have a lot of fun!

[redroxy2010]

good tempo

[Max4T3hW1n]

i want to download this!

[TJsalami]

2 WORDS: GOOD LEAD

[HIMstress666]

more like amazing lead!

[spamvicious]

wow you really did it justice!

[amarinesgirl709]

omg! I love this song and the lead singer did it just as good as Freddy Mercury, if not better!!! Awesome voice!!

[kevintwilson]

the lead singer did a great job but better than King Freddie? Are you on crack?

[itsonlysound]

@kevintwilson Seriously. Freddie's vocal range was something like 3.5 octaves but add into that the uniqueness of his voice and there is no competition. The soloist has a good voice, but it's generic broadway.

[DrFugue]

he's good but. better than mercury? HELL NO! mercury is GOD.

[l0v3today]

True that!

[yorkerad]

amen

[breakfree74]

i couldnt agree more

[taleydaley2012]

Heck yes!

[thror25]

I've just fallen in love with the lead singer. Marry me?

[bevostumpedrevielle]

Shit!...this is good! you guys got it cookin'!

Hook em'!

[emileekempster]

amazing

[Saidin8]

Wow the lead is really good!

[Tobunshi]

The group is too quiet...=[

[theguardianreturns]

So needless to say i have two girls next to me that want every last one of you to be the father of there children. And now one is spazzing out.

(Yes they are in college, and yes they are attractive, i would tap dat!)

[phenylphenol]

For those interested, there is a detailed analysis of how this arrangement was written at Broze Brothers Music under the "arrangements" category of posts. Do a Google search for "Broze Bros" to find it.

[shadowsghost911]

You have to be pretty awesome to manage a successful cover of Queen. Well done! 5/5

[thefreakprincesskate]

Awesome. Check out their version of Kansas - Carry On, Wayward Son. really great

[xXxXglitterbombXxXx]

Oh yeah it is.

I love this one too.

[viktoriaRUS]

AHAHHAAHHAHA this is awesome!!!!!!!!!

[erprice319]

lame.

[ROCKETJIZZ]

OMFG I LOVE THIS SONG.

[Aniqueee]

wauw what an amazing voice does the lead singer have!

[SatanicSlave]

brilliant... just awesome

[jenjen5678]

that lead singer is flawless!

[SKANKTUBEProDuctions]

wow this practically makes me melt x)

[monsenanna13]

He sounds kinda like Pee Wee..

[JimmyRoessner]

wow, really well done.

[PigsRFlying18940]

they didn't seem together at some points

[SirCyrus0]

I noticed that too. Doesn't make the singing that much worse though :)

[daisymax]

I have two of the Achordants' CDs (I'm such a groupie!) but it's a shame this wasn't added to one of them. This has got to be my all-time favourite - that voice! *sigh* I don't think he sings with the Achordants any more, but I hope we'll hear more of him in the future!

[ashvin1210]

Yep. He's my favorite too, and unfortunately he's no longer there. Why'd he have to graduate?!

Kevin W. is my second fave. I really want to get a cd or two! Or more...haha.

[onionduck]

the lead guy has such a great voice

[colorida4]

AMAZING lead singer! Wow!

[guanzzzzzzzzzz]

amazing soloist!

[franzomagno]

il cantante solista nel finale fa una cosa spaventosa

[bguy55]

Great lot's of fun great vocal that's what music is all about.

[dantbp]

WOw..the lead singer is really good. Strong vocals! :D

[leozinha2]

it seem´s like a lot of american universities got kind of acapella choirs..great job, guys! never heard such a great match between background and solist. by the way, i really like your voice, it´s amazing. may i get one of your cd´s? germany´s got to know you.

[tonybonanza]

seconded (also from Germany =)

[RATLOZ]

id really like to see the UC Men's Octet who did Bohemian Rhapsody from 2003 do this song

[reelneill]

Really? That group sang mostly, if not all, classic barbershop arrangements. I would rather hear them sing the love medley from the recent achordants video. Which should be done in 9 part harmony so 8 ppl couldn't cut it. Still, maybe if they sang 7 part it could work.

If you wanted a cleaner smaller sound on this song, I would say use 'Naturally 7'. They often open for Michael Buble. They would rock the "electric" solo.

[screechthebird]

blammo19...You and your mates are fantastic. Two thoughs....'Broadway' and 'London West-End'! Good luck to you.

[ChoirBoyOC]

Finally! A good version of this great song.

[sokker88]

what's the lead singer's name??? he's awesome

[CHRISTIANMALIA]

It's blurry, but I'm pretty sure that's Phillip Childers. There's a few more videos where he sings lead on YouTube. Carry On My Wayward Son is my favorite. :)

[sokker88]

thanks

[blammo19]

what

[Pacifica20]

Fucking awesome freddy mercury is hard to replicate, let alone Brian May's solo performed vocally!! Fanfuckingtastic!!!!

[reelneill]

Dude, I love his voice! I sat at work trying to get my boss to listen to this today. IT WAS GREAT!!!

PS I would love him.

[ebonies]

We sang this at my prom. Awesome job, guys!! :)

[LenaVideo]

Soloist tears it UP.

[pumpe88]

Hey Achordants - i like ya music a lot !

Guitar solo is one of the best!

So much emotion and power in your voices - superb!

Please sing song more songs on 2008 - You can do it!

[parappa29]

lol that was great, love the "guitar" solo by the bald guy, a great a capella version of this song with humor? amazing....

[MilkMe713]

This solo is absolutely fantastic. He's on pitch the entire song and the guitar solo's high note blended perfectly with the solo. That was amazing.

[xxliew]

WOW I love the bald guy's 'bababadaba~' thingie it was like so freaking cool was he supposed to be a trumpet or something cuz I've never heard the original. And the lead singer is freaking AWESOME!!! Especially the end part, so smooth silky powerful wonderful voice!

[Strarnin]

in the original it's an electric guitar solo.

[xxliew]

Wow, cool.....!

[cheapxchampagne]

Great job! Keep it up!

[onceuponatime1991]

wow the soloist is AMAZING

love it!!!

[ciaobellaxo111]

wow AMAZINGGG

[iamironflan]

fantastic lead. wow

[sagoodwi]

Again, I love, love, love this video! You guys sound amazing, and the soloist is so good on this song that I wish I had a CD or something. I listen to this YouTube video almost daily at work. Sometimes a few times in a day.

[ZestyItalian2]

The guy singing lead has a really standout voice. Isnt that usually fairly rare among a capella performers? Its more about blending and smooth tonality, usually. I hope this guy does solo stuff as well.

[Loveydvy99]

Not always, usually singers have their "blendy choir voices" but then also train thier "solo voice". Then they can switch between the two depending on the style of music they're singing. So you could have an entire choir full of "soloists" just using their choir voice.

[TheDorkVariety]

Holy shit.

[whit1290]

They're all sexy just for singing this song.

[greggoesacoustic]

wow, you have an awesome voice

[robg8706]

In an age where talentless trash like Brittney become stars, Idol looks for real talent in the average population. I applaud it and this guy's voice is amazing.

[littlewingg]

... maybe because American Idol is a useless, conformity based, individuality squashing, public platform of lame music.

but yeah, this soloist has a just unbelievable voice

[robg8706]

why didnt you audition for Idol darn it? You have such talent

[talonboy5431]

why audition for American Idol?making it big urself is way better...look at Straight No Chaser i think they're better than Achordants..

[robg8706]

True as an acapella group. The lead singer here could be an independent hit. Incredible vocals

[BIEDS4U]

Straight No Chaser's first group might be better, but not the newer group. These guys did such an awesome job on Carry On My Wayward Son. Listen to that one and you will be amazed.

[Peolacurei]

I LOVE THIS! Best song ever, and I LOVE this a capella cover. You guys rock!

[lukatoll]

i want to see this guy go on american idol

[bloodsmearedkiss]

The Soloist has such an amazing voice. Wow. In my 12 years of being in groups..best male voice I've heard in a accapella group.

[mikeo550]

lets not exaggerate now...

[mydamnanus]

dude that guy really has a hell of a voice..

[mydamnanus]

your band's really cool too though:-)

[blammo19]

wow, thank you. i really appreciate that type of comment. oh and that is me singing just in case you were wondering.

[reelneill]

Hey, this rocks. Why isn't it on any of the CDs? I wanted to buy it. But, can't. SAD DAY!

[blammo19]

sorry, it just happened to be one of the songs that didnt make it onto our cds. but this is the song that i wanted to record more than any other.

[reelneill]

Well, it's a shame. Potentiality wise, this one sounds better then Carry On My Wayward Son, but the arrangement to that one is more complex so. Hey. To each his own.

Have you ever done any solo work?

[RATLOZ]

watch?v=UyqpjkCwEI4&feature=re­lated

wat u think of their arrangement?
