Does anyone know who actually wrote the lyrics these guys are singing? The opening credits say Brian McKnight, but when I search for them under his name online, McKnight's lyrics are entirely different. Thanks for your help.
I wonder who voted your comment down -- probably some jealous dick. You guys are really good. My men's chorus just performed the same arrangement of the Christmas Medley! Your famous recording was an inspiration, of course. Well done. One friendly criticism: I've never figured out why you mic each individual singer. It's like the New York Phil back in the '60s. I wouldn't mic at all.
I can't believe I never heard of these guys until last night! I am a 51 years old "die hard" Rock & Roll fan... ACDC is my favorite group. BUT I love this music! They are great.
It means to take a shot of straight liquor without taking anything after to kill the taste. For example, taking a shot of whiskey without chasing it with a beer.
Are you joking? There's a part in the first verse that is completely messed up because of a passing issue. It's rushed and almost comes appart right at the line "now that you've become my very life" the pacing goes off track and speeds up. I blame the vocal percussionists to be honest.
Yeah, I agree, sardoniclysane. That's really the only fault in this recording, excluding the fan's shouts which one usually gets with recordings like this one.
If you want to see this amazing group in California, they will be here Sept. 5,6,7. More information at the College of the Sequoias Foundation website.
Gotta admit - LOVE the 12 Days of Christmas and The Lion Sleeps Tonight! And it looks like so much fun! =) Love singing, love harmonies, love a capella - how much better can you get?!? =D
i am almost certain Twh57318 (took time to type #'s cuz i care that much) is on crack cuz this is the most tasteful thing ive ever heard, besides their "12 days" song
no my friend i did not mean to put that . it was ment to insult another comment . I really enjoy this song. it is my second favorite song from this group as well.
So if you are good looking and talented, willing to put in the hours and hours of work to excell at what you are doing you are gay, and if you do not, you are ... oh, you are you.
not only is what you said stupid, moronic, and childish (if I was your age, which I'm not, I'd be ashamed of myself) it doesn't even make any sense. Still you have redeemed yourself by not being able to spell. Well done you!!
Yes, I was supporting the incredibly talented guys from the asinine ramblings of a talentless weasel. Some people need to learn how to read what is written.
Pff, you'd have to be pretty immature if you think all these guys are gay. It takes a lot of talent and hard work to pull off a capella like this. I wish I could see these guys in person.
The video was simply shot by having a camera, not watched or controlled by anyone, placed on a tripod at the back of the auditorium. It was originally intended for the group just to use to watch and critique their concert, not for public viewing. Frankly, I feel this video is the poorest quality of all the videos I posted of SNC. Check out some of my other SNC videos, which are better looking and sounding.
guys, he was only observing and theorizing; he wasn't the cameraman. and I highly doubt that it was, especially considering that that dude has one of, if not the best voices in the group. listen to their fast-food version of stand by me and you'll hear what I mean.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah but these guys are far cuter, and they still can really sing! Timing needs a little bit of work, but other than that... amazing. I would date any one of them in a heartbeat.
Great group but the audio recording on this is not good....for a better experience w/ SNC see them sing "12 Days of Christmas" posted by mikado95. *that* is awesome & the audio plus video recording is quite a bit better.
I never heard this song before seeing this and then listened to Brian McNight's version on iTunes. I actually like this one MUCH better. These guys are amazing.
That is because it is a different year, 12 days is 1996 and this one is 2006. It's a collage group like a Choir, so it changes as people graduate or drop out of the group.
The old group (the ones who sang 12 days) sounds much better !! These ones are okay though!
why do you care? if white people sounded black or visa versa people would thing somethong is wrong or that is just how you lived and grew up with it. if black people sounded so black and looked that way, as they do, would you have a problem with it? it is just how it is!
I have become a fan...and I don't live even remotely close to Indiana (unless you guys are from IUP, Indiana University of Pennsylvania...in which case I live remotely close). But anyway, you have a long-distance fan. Be flattered.
Brian Mcknight sings better than all of them together lol.
