This song is what sold me on the album, listen to it all the time, where can I get more recordings of your group and/or soloists? Really nice work, the "blah blah blah" and the part where the bass does the half scale down thing really fast, ah, gets me every time! you guys rock!
Good lord that comment got waaaay too many thumbs down... >< Legitimately this was the song which encouraged me to get the album... It actually introduced to all things awesome about BEN FOLDS. :D
It's nice to hear strong vocals on these acapella songs. Usually the arrangements are good and the group as a whole is strong, but the leads are weak and hurt the song. These guys are all great! It's definitely one of the best cuts on the CD next to Not the Same and Effington.
that was absolutely amazing. I'm thoroughly impressed/jealous. I'm actually in the process of using this arrangement for one of my videos. I'm gonna post it as a video response when it's done.
P.S. I wish I could beatbox, that was a really cool touch
the cute girl singing you have agreat voice and this is not a concert just a video so u dont have to leave the guy behinf u and step up to sing we know ur good stop bein coky aight
To be completely honest, I like this version better than the one that's on the CD. The group sounds amazing in both, but I think being able to see you sing is a huge bonus.
Ben & Regina both seem to be tough for a lot of singers. Edward and Mary Lee, you guys were spot-on. You nailed it.
My high school is doing your arraingment of this at our concert tonight. We aren't usually an acappella choir so it was nice to try something new with this great. We used your video a ton to help us out. The main difference that we did from yours was the part written as ben folds was sung by our 3 soprano ones and the Regina Spector part was sung by our 3 tenor ones. It adds a different style to the song but I think it acutally works.
OK, haha, im a bit late on my question. I just got clued in on the album. and saw the documentary. SO, yeah. awesome, I wish I had heard of this sooner.
I was wondering if Ben Folds saw this? and what he said? I got the audio from this and cut it down and edited a little, so i can have it playing in my car! hope you're all honored, good job.
This version of this song gives me goosebumps because it's so good! You guys are amazing! It's great what people can do with the talent that they have :D
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They lip synched it... The audio here is identical to the one found on the CD. I guess they recorded a kick ass version even before the contest had started.
Actually, that's not correct. We didn't lip synch this. It was recorded right into the microphone that's in the shot the entire time. This version is actually a few clicks faster than the one on the CD... partly because we rush a little bit in places. The CD version is a little more laid back. Also, better quality... with better mics... etc... no lip synching that'd be silly. Thanks for listening though!! I'm glad you think it's kick ass. :)
The album did not come directly from this video. Ben Folds was looking for A Cappella groups for his album, and this was "With Someone Else's Money's" submission. Listen to the recording right after you listen to this and tell me the quality is exactly the same.
Look, there is no accounting for taste, people just like what they like. However, there is no subjectivity when it comes to hitting a note (let alone holding it), singing a note with force, being able to clearly sing and hold a wide range, etc. Regina is not a gifted singer because she lacks those talents. You might still like her music and style, but she is not good at the fundamentals of singing. She is quirky, and some people like her quirkiness.
marylee has wonderful clarity in her voice, but to say that regina spektor is a terrible singer is blasphemy. you may not like her style, but she is not a terrible.
This is the best track on the CD! Love the arrangement y'all did with this. I get a kick out of the group's name. The guy soloist isn't bad to look at either :P
The VP did the fast jerk hahahah oh man. That's classic. You guys sounded awesome on the album btw. I'm a part of the OU Leading Tones and we actually did an arrangement of this song inspired by you guys doing this song. You guys are awesome.
I saw you guys perform this at The Tabernacle opening for Ben and then with Ben (Mary Lee) back in February. You guys were absolutely terrific. This is one of my favorite tracks from the acapella Ben Folds album.
As much as the amazing arrangement and the excellent balance, what makes this video so awesome is the confidence of the lead singers. They look so comfortable with the song and with each other -- amazing rapport. What a cohesive group! It's no wonder they made it onto Ben's album!
