The Sing Off Group Performance (E3) - "21 Guns" - By Green Day

[1doggonit]

I love this song so much.... :( they made a mess of it I mean yeah they had great voices but it would've been better with real music... That's all I'm sayin....

[shtoonkeygseers]

Thumbs up if OTR should've won.

[CherPaochouaJohnYang]

Did the first girl skip a couple lines on purpose? aha!

[Randeezay]

Katherine really shines in this number.

[HarveyBacktheBeatles]

This was an awesome job.

[masterbeitor1]

Glee music or this??

[fnkyfreshT]

@masterbeitor1 I like Glee but I wish they could do more a capella songs. But this is awesome too.

[HotJeter]

@masterbeitor1 a million percent this!!!

[bl000dlust]

17 deaf people saw this video apparently.

[RedOrangeGreen1]

Green Day!!!!! <33333333333333333333333333333­3333

[AsiaFBabi93]

Tommy's line and chord... 3

[MasochisticMaiden]

Broadway version is epic . Album version also epic . It's Green Day .

[28umbabe28]

i luv this vid sooo much !!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):)

[smileslookgood]

the ending made me want to eat a burrito. LOVE this arrangement <3

[estebancasanova]

i really wanted to be in that performance. it seems fun.

[LuckySevenSamson]

1:22 - Suddenly, OTR! Entering EPIC MODE!

[MultiVideogamelover]

better than the original

[aznsqueak]

the S's in this video sounds weird. :P But not in another one.

[mimizh100]

This video got me motionless the first time i saw it!

[emo1232229]

Almost as good as the broadway version and that's a real compliment :)

[Matthewmommy24]

Fantastic!

And the "asain chick" has a name. It's Katherine. And Katherine sang great. This is an emotional and empowering song. Obvously they were going for softer soloists. And if you don't like Katherine...then close your eyes and plug your ears... now don't mind me as I hit repeat a few hundred more times :)

[funkyme79]

@RCHairbrush I do agreed the sound at 1:22. Its really amazing! Its my favorite part of the song..

[yousaytomato0000]

@funkyme79 i wish i could like this 100 times... soooooo true

[cloudstar772]

1:55 looks like the guy from rascal flatts right??

[AChris711]

My reaction? " Wow! That was amazing! I'll go buy the green day song on iTunes!" bad decision.



[AccioAmelia]

@AChris711 Uhm. Rude.

[bazzinga97]

EEES UN PLAGIO DE LA VERSION HECHA POR AMERICAN IDIOT CAST



[PhoenixxGHLG]

:50 = porn for your ears.......

[PhoenixxGHLG]

20 billion times better than glee...

[ThreeNails3]

If you all don't mind, I'm just gonna listen to this a couple thousand more times....

[funtimeswithhanna]

4 words better than the original 

[IvoriesAblaze]

The key changes are amazing

[shadowbrothers2]

one of the girls were a little flat when she ended but very well done.

[jsauer82991]

I would pay a small fortune to see these groups collaborate on a concert. Forget about the winner, if it's really about the music - this is what we're looking for. The huge sound that the groups create together is awe inspiring and the individual talents are each given their chance to shine. Beautiful arrangement and breathtaking performance. THANK YOU.

[tfdmgurl]

We did this version of the song in our choir concert this last year. It was beast.

[professor2442]

At 1:18, is that Prince Harry in the lower right corner?

[birdy808]

I'm still getting goosebumps from this watching this months later. Powerful. I like the build-up along with the key changes throughout the song. I know quite a few people don't like the 1st female vocalist, but, I think she's okay. I don't know why they didn't pick the other girl in the group to have a solo part.

[RCHairbrush]

Impressive from start to finish, but I especially like the sound at 1:22. I love it when a capella singing has chords that are five or six notes deep, and On The Rocks is really good at that.

My absolute favourite moment has to be 14 seconds later, 'cause I could look at Jeff all day long.

[naruto10321]

I have goosebumps. And it's not from the weather. It's 70 outside

[mibz112]

Better than green day by far

[fenderdirnt37]

@mibz112 you should hear 21 guns on the awesome as fuck tour, with the oiano, theyre relly good

[712riah]

Chills.

[jump2h3ll]

briliant song ,briliant performance

[Ex0P0l1t1c5]

I absolutely loved on the rocks' harmonies on the melody in the verse.

[cupofcakee]

now THAT, my friends, is real music.

[bearTHRYLLZ]

what up rainbow nation. they got all south africa up on this.

[bearTHRYLLZ]

what up rainbow nation. they got all south africa up on this.

[Yohanniz]

But yeah, she's got vocal skills. of course. Just nasal :)

[missmcstabby]

The song was good, but the extra vocalizations at the end almost ruin it. Vocal gymnastics aren't that impressive if everyone tries to do it.

[VenusRosemaryOli]

no body does it better than Green Day. even if the band/singer has won a billion awards for they're talent.

no body.

[casskatina]

loved it but why is the asian chick always the head singer? :/

[keeIedsuckah]

i like the echoing effect. and i agree with @MegaJd96

[MegaJd96]

WOW!!!!!! I don't think the 1st singer was that bad

[marlien18]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

AWSOME!!!!!

[sokphal]

The girl who first sang did fine, I don't get why people are bashing on how she sings... that's just so rude.

[sokphal]

@Yohanniz that's not nasally... she didn't ruin anything.

[Yohanniz]

@sokphal I am entitled to my opinions? :) up to you if you think she's good or whatever. To each his own.

[LeninReturns]

@Yohanniz Saying she is nasally is not an opinion, she either is or isn't. You liking her or not is an opinion. but her skill is a matter of fact.

[Yohanniz]

@LeninReturns Lolol, don't force on me your ideas... I don't give a shit she's a nasal in fact.. or not. Chill. Whatever you want. LOLOL.

[omhh09]

the best part of the opening group is the beatboxers

[twinkiesinlove]

the first girl's pretty good!

[cheerANDskate2012]

theyre like mixing up lyrics...

[shortycatherine]

its weird seeing old men in there

[icedolphin9999]

It must be awesome to be the guy who makes the music for this!

[DisneyChick07]

the only person who sucked in this song was the girl who started it. Why oh why did the let her open the song? *shakes head*

[professor2442]

@DisneyChick07

I disagree. True, she doesn't give the song the bitter edge that the original had, but her voice has a sad, plaintive quality that suits the song well.

[JayBlade89]

Best A Capella song EVER!

[Huskyfan63]

I don't know why people are crying that they supposedly "ruined it", green days last album sucked

[GREEEENDAYYYYY]

@Huskyfan63 fuck you <3

[cullengal102]

Now i can understand why the real Cast of American Idiot hated this.........

[shtoonkeygseers]

@cullengal102 green days album did not suxk

[MakaNDAiaMusic987]

Two Words.. GOOSE BUMPS!!! :) Or Was That One? Haha :)

[ShaneeC16]

Tommy's and Jeremy's voices are amazing separatly, but together...ooooooooh!

[Ilovewowthegroup96]

its nice that they did this for green day, but they just ruined it. -__- but they are good singers.

[Ilovewowthegroup96]

its nice that they did this for green day, but they just ruined it. -__-

[misstalkitive422]

this.is.the.best.end.of.story

[FiftyHydra]

season 1 SUCKS!!!! season (this one) RULES!!! S1 CAN S.A.D

[Acs5396]

@Hikellan that's cuz he's the best one there

[jeanaliz2006]

freakin awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[shortycatherine]

Epic 8D

[EmoRockerBabe14]

i LUV this + i luv the sing off!!!!!!

[hikellan]

i love how jeramy always has a solo

[minimint12]

on the rocks and SCS owned this song XP

[shelleyinthecity]

The girl at 0:08 who starts out is so hot. Very sexy!

[edricknoel]

Seems a little too perfect. Do they prerecord and just lipsync during the performance? How did the solos not get drowned out by the rest of the people's voices? There are tons of people on stage!

[trapt51293]

@edricknoel The turn the mics up and down as different people sing leads.

[dogz362]

i love this song. this is awesome music. i cant understand the people who dont think its amazing!!!!!!

[77anthonyh]

this is the best opening number of all season

[jfgentner678]

12 people have no clue what REAL musical talent is....not a single clue...

[RandomPerson8908]

@jfgentner678 89 people have no clue what "21 Guns" is supposed to sound like...not a single clue...

[77anthonyh]

@RandomPerson8908 Just cause its not like the actual song does not mean its bad its different because there are no instruments

[RandomPerson8908]

@77anthonyh I'm all for changing up the instrumental arrangements of a song--what they did killed the whole mood of it.  They made it into a happy song, all poppy and saccharine. That is what I do not appreciate. The intended feel of the song is lost.

[GREEEENDAYYYYY]

@RandomPerson8908 SO true

[Laury865]

es una de las versiones mas poderosas, impactantes y bellas de esta cancion, la verdad me emociono hasta las lagrimas......felicito a este grupo y sigan asi

[AnarchyNoMore]

more pointless than trying to wave at a blind person

[WiiPlayer113]

I thought it was better than Green Day's version. Sue me.

[The1onTV]

I really didn't care for that trill-y bullshit. I think the idea is to add emotion or make the voice sound fuller, but a song like this benefits from simplicity.

[GreenDaylover817]

nothing compared to the musical version

[mousy105]

wow they ripped off the broadway cast big time here

[Spidermonkey13100]

I would love to see SCS do a full length version of this song. They would do amazing with it.

[unoisa]

They did awesome!!! 

[tomie38]

Favorite Song Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spidermonkey13100]

@tomie38 This is my favorite song, when Green Day sings it. I agree with a lot of the other people. They need to put more emotion into it. Thats what the song is all about. Watch the original by Green Day.

[alferxxx]

needs a teensy bit of emotion

[freewillie12]

committed rules

[Jexpel]

It would be better if any of them felt the emotion of the song. What makes the song such perfection is the emotion behind it and the passion when being sung- they were singing just to sing.

[SuperWarhero12]

Horrible but Green Day is the beast

[teencomedy]

The Backbeats piss me off can i just say

[danceforlife92]

@teencomedy pretty sure yeah you can say that. glad you did!

[sokphal]

@teencomedy The Backbeats piss you off because they're an amazing a capella group? Well then that sucks for you hater.

[teencomedy]

@sokphal Just out of all the groups I just hated them the most, they were annoying I don't feel like they deserved to be there as much as some of the other groups that got voted off

[teencomedy]

@teencomedy Just out of all the groups I just hated them the most, they were annoying I don't feel like they deserved to be there as much as some of the other groups that got voted off

[funpug13]

They took a great Green Day song and ruined it, the song is just a cheesy pop song now. Everybody please listen to the original song.

[flyingreen]

@funpug13 i mean... green day pretty much makes cheesy pop rock music ...

[Hobochic87]

They all were fantastic!!! I love the guy with the plaid shirt.

[amandalewey]

@isabelacostaduarte They did give credit to the Broadway show, it's just not shown in this video. After they performed, Nick Lachey mentioned that they sang the "Broadway version of Green Day's 21 Guns". The show gave the proper credit (legally they have to). The Broadway version may be better, but for these guys to perform the song with NO instruments at all - I think they did pretty darn good! :-)

[PretzleRox]

there not bad but the american idiot musical does a way better job i think with all the cuts they made to the song it makes hardly no since. And well they dont even compare to Green Day. billie joe is a lyrical genius :)

[gamlavasa]

After hearing 21 Guns, I too wished all these groups would get signed.. They were awesome...gave me chills to listen to the beauty of the words they sang, and they gave the words meaning...something our country needs at this time

[gamlavasa]

I have to agree, after 21 Guns I didn't want to see any of these groups go home. Their performance gave me chills../

[iwantitallvanity]

EVERYONE sounds SO amazing in this SONG!!! love this intro! especially at 2:27 !!! i honestly do NOT want to see anyone go now.... they are all just so amazing!

[julycath11]

I love Green Day.

Not this.

It was good,but maybe 2 stars

[kvanzandt1967]

This performancei is just mind blowing!! iIf you can't appreciate this for the talent it is, you don't know music. LOVE IT and the show!!

[postcardpinches]

I'm so glad the Jazz people are gone. I get what they're doing, it's just not to my taste. If they would have dropped the super heavy jazz influence for just ONE song I could have forgiven them. lol

[Melchuck29]

OTR sounds great on this song.

[iwantitallvanity]

@Melchuck29 OTR always sounds good i love them!!! (:

[BillieGoesRawr]

I like this video 'cause it shows different groups doing their own interprutations(sp?) but I wasn't really a big fan on the echoing on the beginning of each line/verse and I also didn't like the whole voice exagerations throughtout the song. The song was meant to be sung a specific way and it should've been kept in that specific way.

[xSkierx55]

I dig that they did the broadway version. But NO.

The opening chick/girls are trying to be Rebecca/Whatsername. Fail. D:

[welditup85]

I disagree with the highest rated comments. I think the song is good and its great to see it interpreted in a new way.

[SmidtsPie]

the first girl is fucking annoying!

[naturalstrange]

Marvelous performance.

I'm a real sucker for these harmony things, and not to mention that it is sung acapella! It requirs real talent to be able to sing without music to back you up and still sing so marvelous

[hotbabezx]

Will say this the group that doesn't belong is Jerry and talk of the town they only sing olden day music and it's not fair for the others when u think about it cuz they sing all genres Orr

[jeffg24LT21]

lol 1:43 was the best slow walk ever

[lilqueen888]

I like both versions of the song.

the original sounds really good but this version has a more joyful beat and a more rhythm to it

[christophersmall]

"when you burned down the house and HOME" (1:27)

"Did you stand too close to the fire?" (1:36)

"You and I" (2:54)

BEST Parts :)

[Dreamw4lker]

the problem is... the integrity of the original song was LOST completely. Musicians should know better....

[4evergreendayfan]

cant

listen

to this

CRAP

HORRIFYING SACRILEGE!!

[mino3010]

This sounds just wrong. they sound like a Backstreet Boys Reunion or something.

Horrible.

21 Guns is such a beautiful song, but that is just cruel to my ears.

[annoyingcameragirl]

The key changes gave me chills... :)

[Christinagreenday]

omg. that was an execution.

[pumpkon]

completely ripped off the musical

[Spidermonkey13100]

It was good for what it was. I saw Green Day in concert a few months ago and nothing will ever compare to hearing that song done live by them. But it was still decent.

[xojackxsallyxo]

Okay, it got a lot better.

[kidcut]

@xojackxsallyxo her is catherine ricafort and she is a legit good singer!

[xojackxsallyxo]

I heard the first three words of the opening girl and just.... NO.

[DXH92]

@xojackxsallyxo She's actually pretty talented! :)

[tinsleyjamaal]

@xojackxsallyxo she's kinda ugly too

[TheDh0ffryn]

@xojackxsallyxo its all good the other ppl drown her out!

[N7eightyeight]

@xojackxsallyxo There are some good singers in there.....I don't like that girl's voice either, but keep listening.

[spiderpig846da2nd]

street corner.

[lLoveMyDucks]

I want all of the teams to win. Except those old men, sorry

[babygirl1247]

This performance makes me wanna be on this show =)

[MyBoreddotcom]

@babygirl1247 same it makes me wanna get my family and do this show :D

[VivaLaMarco21]

wow...that was...like High School Musical...kinda -.-

[NicoleJonas25]

That so was copying the American Idiot musical's arctangent! The AI cast does it 10X's better! Enough said!

[BandIsBetter12]

best opening for a show...in the history of show openers.

[greenday61892]

@BandIsBetter12 I like this, but I definitely prefer the entire season's opener, "I've Got the Music In Me."

[mrwhirly2000]

other than leaving out some of the lyrics, i thought this was beyond amazing

[lifetimeperformer]

Thatss so the American Idiot arangmennt(:

[missmichelle861]

This group performance was sooo amazing! I love this song! The voices sounded so incredible! I wish this show was longer!!!!!

[AliceRipleyN2NFan]

This is completely copying the American Idiot musical's arrangement.

[Arqueete]

@AliceRipleyN2NFan Though American Idiot wasn't mentioned by name I'm pretty sure Nick Lachey referred to it being as "the Green Day musical's '21 Guns'" or something like that, so I don't think it's really copying, just sort of a tribute.
