Kiss from a Rose

[NadynDeCastro]

He looks like justine timberlake. Oh I love him..hahah

[THEoperaBARYTON]

ya know.... its kinda slow. and dead. but a great arrangement. however, i've got to agree that folders are a straight up faux pas. thats what rehearsal is for.

[jensedc]

technically very good. But no soul. It's a pity...

[ebonymaestro]

Is this arrangement published? If so, who is it by? Thank you!

[yoboyme]

this song needs to be sang with a heavy sigh. not like the lead singer is doing

[magiciananytime]

They are not reading the words they are reading the music ha ha funny

[eyesack9]

the women singing are fking amazing

[MrDomino0990]

Gah. This is so close to a perfect version of this song. They get so many things right, but both times the lead sings "To me you're like a grown addiction that I can't deny" it just sounds wrong somehow. Everything else is magnificent, though.

[thedict]

amazing, fuck anyone who says otherwise. for being in a choir setting, that was sung with a lot of "heart and strength." if you want the juiced up, over-dramatized version of every good song you hear, go watch american idol. it's much better sung simply like this.

[M3ta1]

the lead should have put the book down, sing it with heart and strength and it will have a huge effect! =]

[henry7515]

wats up with the bad comments ppl?...this sounds hormonic!!

[powermezzo]

My jazz group is singing this song. I wish we still had a guy who could hit those notes. haha

[Flair9010]

*-*

[darkjubilee]

Who ever just said that the lead is okay is wrong. He's AMAZING! He always is. Also, if you had actually seen the entire concert, then everyone would understand how much other stuff they had memorized. This was the only song they didn't dance around to. I love these guys! They're awesome!

[Perronos]

Lindo sonido, pero no me gusto la version. Falta espiritu... Sigan practicando.

[nd12031973]

Fascinating !!!

[Leenee94]

This is freakin awesome!

I really dont understand all de other bad comments. This is really amazing!! <3

[yukianmama]

They should of had that memorized first of all and secondly it would of been better if the got into it more.

[MKillamanjaro]

The female singers are fantastic in this song, and the lead is alright. Acapella groups should NEVER be reading from music at a performance. NEVER.

[tzeqin]

@MKillamanjaro - I think it's part of the performance; like a prop.

[Waffle281]

@MKillamanjaro As my music teacher used to say, I would rather go see a choir that sings well holding music than one that stands up there forgetting words and music because they don't have it in front of them. It doesn't look extremely professional, but I would be more concerned on sound than appearance, it being a musical group and all...

[wickedphant0m]

Awesome harmonies, but NO SOUL! This song really needs to groove. This song is about sex...don't be afraid of it.

[gsoe]

This song.

is about Batman.

Clearly.

Kiddin. but you're exactly correct. wayyyy too reserved.

[bestmarcher]

this version was ok.. the soloists voice was loud enough for me

[shanirideshorsesss]

i don't like this version...

soloist had tuning problems.

[crackbabys2009]

this version is the second best!

but tenacius d are good at it=)

[lilpaul14]

i think this version is weakkk

[jigscarag]

i love this version...while others may find it less soulful, I feel that this is a different kind of interpretation such that the "soul" in the song was accomplished through the chorale arrangement...fantastic!

[deemuun]

i like it. its like in a musical where youve already heard the song, but then they sing it again when something tragic happens. GOOD STUFF!

[dafinest02]

to boring..not enough soul in it

[hemfrid]

Agreed!

[CooliO1977217]

I liked all of it, donno what you are talking about. best acapella of Kiss from a Rose I ever heard

[virgalicious007]

Yeah, I love that chord... I keep listening to 0:32...

[virgalicious007]

I loved how they integrated seventh chords into the music, towards the end of the first section. It sounded fantastic... however, the key sounded too high for the male soloist, and I think the song would sound better with just male voices.

[lidasnage]

Kicsit lassú,de amúgy nagyon jó!!

[zackm32]

too slow

[brendonmcdaniel88]

the backround singers over power him in certin points, though other then that all is well

[AbysmalPanda]

it sounds amazing. X3

[Usci92]

I like it!

[ROCKerYohnny666]

good choir and solo guy have good voice!!!!

[Cesca5687]

fantastic choir!!!! Best so far for this song!

[Katiaraaang]

TOO SLOW xD

[embrezar]

The sound was good, and I have to say the female backup was excellent, and the backup in general was damn good. The soloist could have been louder, and am I wrong, but did he miss some of the words? In my opinion, it may have been better to intersperse the females and males so that the sound was more evenly distributed, but then again, I'm no composer. Again, the soloist was very quiet, also, he seemed like he was bored. The solo requires more force! Also, lose the books and learn the music.

[msdwyer89]

Good work on the music as this is an extremely difficult piece. Vocal Point at UMSL did this and it was fairly difficult. Serously though. You can only left brain it so much. Left braining a song is like paint by numbers. Show emotion and let us hear it in your voices dont just crescendo cuz it says to. FEEL the music otherwise it is expressionless.

[Hawaiianon]

solo sucked

[lisilein2]

It didn't suck... It just wasn't that brilliant but this is really hard to sing for a man...

[cdoorules44]

This choir is great. Someone get them to sing Popcorn by Hot Butter acapella, nobody has done the song yet on Youtube, but I can't think of a better choir to do it. Get that song on youtube....

[TheInfectiousGroove]

I wish that my school's pop concert was this good. This is an awesome pops concert.

[cich0902]

Well Erskine is in SC, but its locatd in Due West, SC...

[Pip0115]

is this the erskine as in erskine south carolina?

[ECsongbird22]

HAHA... I get that all the time and I don't even see where people get that we look alike. Thanks though. I just hope I did the song justice.

[pablofraken]

Who's the singer? Justin Timberlake?

HA! Nice choir, the best one performing this song thru all YouTube.

[carbin123321]

This is such a perfected choir.... we see some shoddy efforts of this song but you guys have really nailed it!! Well Done!!

[tearsihaveshed]

wow. amazing tenor right there! i love it when you guys sing ocapella (spell check!!) it sounds so amazing.

[imisanori]

I think that it's nice that Seal inspired you to preformed kiss by a rose on a grave.

[demonspawn123]

the choir overpowers the soloist in some parts, but he has a beautiful voice, clearly masculine, but still beautiful, and the choir is good as well
