Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek (A Cappella)

[danwright32]

wow. that was possibly the most brilliant performance I've ever seen out of an a cappella group. I know first hand how difficult this song is. you guys are phenomenal

[heythereimkevin]

insanely good.

[justinetheasian]

Woow

[boingboomchalack]

this is the best one i've heard on youtube! great job guys

[sticklebats]

This is gorgeously performed and arranged. +1!!

[jonnybeckett]

Woah... I've never had that many goosebumps before.

[Liton777]

This made me cry...

[luxxna]

wow... just wow

[saxgirl90]

this gave me the chills! amazing!

[101pumpkin101]

Gorgeous 

[sunsuvvi]

this is great!

[MacclefieldMVC1]

Perfection!

[MrGorbokan]

hate the coreography, why does every single choir need to have a stupid coreography. You are looking to the horizon like idiots. I'm sorry, people need to deactivate this need for choir coreography. Just sing the thing, you do it really beautifully.

[StateOfGrace]

...Your basses are completely badass, almost scary. jussayin' (; Ps. Spotless dynamics as well!

[Exit81AVids]

i hate people who think they can judge music. i'm 20 years classically trained, and i would never feel i have that right. you are outrageous to think you can even judge from computer speakers. welcome to america: nation of assholes. incredible job on this you guys. very impressive group you have.

[vmusic93]

do you know where someone could find a copy of this arrangement or one close?

[twizzlenote]

The ability you guys have incredible blend!

What makes this version incredible, is that nothing draws your ear to just one person until it is absolutely supposed to.

Absolutely gorgeous!

[DVB77]

This is beautiful. That's all I can say. I am so amazed.

[SciWrit2009]

You are the only group, ONLY group I have ever heard that actually gets the chords and acoustics right. Hello people, dissonance is the key word...embrace it. Good job Pipes!

[MusicalMello09]

love this song. My band did an arrangement for marching band. Love it.

[hannitic]

wow, im inspired to do this with my choir too. do u have the sheet music to lend/sell?

[Newlyfounded]

Any chance you have a the sheet music that i could borrow/steal? or buy?

[knevelchen]

well... I think in some parts, the leading melody gets lost in the arrangement. it's a bit unbalanced.

[fizzfizz28]

@knevelchen I agree, at the quieter parts I had to REALLY listen hard to hear the melody.

[MayrasEpicLife]

@fizzfizz28 here's the best version I've ever heard.. and maybe I'm biased cause I'm in the group.. hahah.. but the arrangement is incredible!

[fizzfizz28]

@MayrasEpicLife Hahah, I agree :D

[metallica0918]

I thot it was weak until about 2:03

[sango917]

I adore this song.

I love you guys!

Choir is pretty much my life.

Well, singing and music is. =]

[SimpliiSweet4]

THAT was the best a capella I've heard besides Imogen Heap herself of course! lol. Great job!

[claritysabbath]

What a stunning arrangement. Thanks for posting. I've got goosebumps!

[Alnifrazz]

What is with the stage design?

You're almost in straight lines

[ZeppelinFan122]

For the most part, spot on arrangement. I found one on the Internet that has less bass and tenor but sounds more accurate, but great execution for sure.

[Grabthabeat]

pretty <3

[missnickybaby27]

that made me wet

[ryanmcilroy1]

i enjoyed this a lot :)

good job!

[ZEROPRODUCTIONSVIDEO]

absolutely amazing. i was always thinking of how great this song would be performed a cappella and i stumbled across this!!

[mrstaggs]

that's what's up

[TubularTowels]

Very nice performance! Your balance was especially spot on! Very nice. I'm going to send this to my chorus teacher~!

[Thecookielove22]

i love at 2:07 ! so beautiful <3

[mimiluv610]

best acapella version i've seen

[soyman92]

easily the best acapella version out there. easily.

[Caleef]

The original is much better!

Nice try ;)

[Caleef]

The original is much better!

[AudreyAHHHH]

Too bottom-heavy for my tastes and some of the vowels were oddly pronounced. Other than that, very well done. The soloist towards the end could've scooped the notes more like in the original and used a tidbit less of a head-voice. I'm very pessimistic about this, I know, but other than those little details, absolutely incredible.

[MickeysEvilTwin]

dude this completely pwns every other one ive heard

[cheriekshin]

Ahhhh, amazing, nice dynamics and balance.

[angelwithwings10]

Far better than the others ones I have seen on youtube I am on my little sister's account, but I am in my high school show choir and my director would not go for this song because, he would find it too..well, boring. I will mention it to him because, this would be a good song for new experiences. I personally, love this song. But, this was a really nice preformance of it. Great job!

[Britton1977]

Great job, awesome cover.

[Toya3816]

Holy shit those are dynamics

[lissie2491]

Great dynamics. Jeez, that was great! =]]

[IfunyunsI]

beautiful voice that girl has at the end. it's so resounding!

[LoleScania]

AMAZING arrangement!

[marthavengeance]

this is so good, it's such a hard song.

[BillyWingFTW]

i havent gotten chills like that in a while :)

great ensemble! and i agree with guitars but still sounded great!

[toastedguitars]

best version i've heard so far, the balance is great but the melody line could come out a little more. i love this song, i'm going to work on arranging it for my group... this arrangement is well done... wish there was more melody at the mm watcha say part.

[Judithly]

nice job :)

[Sandalos01]

Who arranged this song??

[devilangel7137]

Finally, I found a group that sang this correctly!

Everyone else always seems flat and they don't have the right blend of notes and voices.

You nailed it and sounded beautiful!

[JetsToReason]

chills :) truly a great job.

[liamoshoro]

great cover nailed it! :D

[starboyscout]

You guys are really tight. I'm very impressed because those intervals are so close and you guys didn't miss one. GREAT JOB!!

[Mikelunknown]

jason derulo copied the mm watcha say part of this kinda

COPYRIGHT

[Kingdom56]

Correct Mike just fix COPYRIGHT because he actually bought it he didn't steal it she also has been listed as an accosiated act with him

In the UK it is called

Whatcha Say Jason Derulo feat. Imogen Heap

[K1w1Fu]

Unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that it's (Jason deRulo's version) a terrible song!!

[IfunyunsI]

ok, i'm not sure if you're saying that this version is crap or derulo's version is but, nevertheless, since most people have a tendency to like the version they hear first, just know that imogen heap created the words first.

[K1w1Fu]

i meant derulo's was crap.

[Presidentmullin]

nope wrong. its called sampling. rap songs do it all the time. theres nothing new here

~

great arrangement!

[JetsToReason]

no he sampled it. if imogen or her music company approved it, it isn't copyright.

[PoetJC]

Simply exquisite - such an inspired performance. Thanks for the share ;)

Jacquii.

[unloud]

This is a wonderful a cappella version of this song.... there is a lot of special attention put into each part and I can tell that you all have put a lot of love into it. The only thing I might suggest is that when you all come to the second "trains and sewing machines" that you let the word and note for "machines" in the women be just slightly extended under the men... I believe this would give a more authentic continuity.

Again, thank you for uploading this.

[bkdelong]

@unloud Agreed - my thoughts on the song (besides it being spectacular) was that, yes, it was definitely arranged to showcase the ensemble but it is a quintessential Imogen Heap song. I would have loved to have heard a female soloist voice rising just above the fray long before the 3:50 mark in certain "parts" that are definitely, traditionally in normal "Imogen" range.

[3dayzgraceroks]

this is really good!! :)

[ShelleKane]

AWESOME!!

[whatthebutts]

I don't know if they intended to do this, but the static vocal lines are sticking out more than the moving ones. I love that they are bringing out the harmonies, but more melody please.

[bubbajiff]

ooooh, gave me shivers!

genuinely amazing. totally flawless (except from the noises from the bloody audience!! )

[AlexisLawrence]

Oh lord, this made me happy :]

[broadwaymelody33]

i loved it!

the only thing I had a problem with was the abruptness and staccato of "OHHH. YOU-WONT-CATCH-ME-A-ROUND-HERE­."

But this was so well done!

[Meanmotherfkr]

wow I have got to say you guys are freakin amazing. I've watched like 10 a cappella groups do this song and you guys just crush this song (in a good way) Had proper bass and added some of your own flavor great freakin job!

[ediotsavant]

By far the best attempt at an acapella of this song

I've seen so far

[WhereDoTheDucksGo]

Best performance of this song on YouTube since UO Divisi.

[FM897]

Best a capella cover of this song I've heard.

[ClassicMadness]

that's my hat!!!

stupid Steven...stole my awesome red fedora to make friends...

[FANSinc]

i liked, but the chorus was too deep

[rrpauldoran]

wow

[Hessicers]

Beautiful :)

[LiaxF15]

where do you get sheet music for this?

[deeohh88]

They straight murdered it.

[christypie18]

all these A Capella groups get to the main chorus and then I get disappointed...

[spiffyswell]

I loved this so much. I got goosebumps because it's absolutely beautiful and haunting.

Good job. <3

[HaleyTurnbullMusic]

Sheet music?

if you know anywhere i can get it, please message me !!! THANKS

[TheBigJerk1]

The main problem with groups performing this cover is that they lack the emotion and correct style that it needs. But not this group.....The neuances and musicality in this performance were great. Amazing detail to the different moods in each section of the song. Just some balance issues here and there. Excellent work ladies and gentlemen! 5/5!!

[ChAJiMtOv]

the best i heard... awesom!

[pittpirate73]

Ya got talent

[justmeandyoumusic]

this is brilliant but the whole choreography and moving hands thing is quite weird

[Bleifrosch99]

[UnfunnyClown91]

It's magical! Absolutely beautiful.. LOVE IT! It made my day, most amazing cover of this song ! *

[GiveMeOneShot]

[melodies92]

[danispirit]

lovely. oh those dissonances how they crash together so beautifully. great job.

[soyman92]

is this available for download?

[GetMeBacktoKansas]

Wow, mad props: def the best a cappella delivery of the song currently online. The theatrics are also very tasteful and effective. The members were obviously invested in the performance. Quite moving.

Very nice.

[darrgo]

the best of all these a capella group renditions of the song. unlike the rest this group actually causes a stir.

[NV2710]

pretty awesome... I love it...

R.I.P. Pia&Andreas

[athletefeet66]

it had its moments. i liked it :)

sounds like whitacre wannabe.

[MrArob]

The most spectacular on the Internet.

The best rendition of this song. Anywhere.

[cohol87]

wow great dynamics for sure. Really great rendition! one of the best a cappella versions I've heard for sure. :-) This video made me smile.

[carossari]

their dynamics are INCREDIBLE. what a cohesive group! they should be so proud of themselves.

[JTMarlin8]

Arrangement needs work and some of the singers are off key.

[sun4shine76]

Chills

[fallout024]

[ViolentYearZero]

[xxpaperbackwriter]

hey could you tell me where i could purchase this arrangement of hide and seek?

[hadokat]

me too please!

[TheRustyPipes]

Everything we sing is arranged by members of the group. And I'm sorry, but at this time the group is not selling any of its arrangements.

[poisonivy3234]

has anybody answered that question? cuz i would love to have it too.

[eatmeiamthomas]

FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL!! def one the best arrangements.

[myguitarisaweapn]

Fantastic, chords are very tight.

[Nizzler1]

One of the best performances of Hide & Seek that I've ever seen... Powerful. Watch the views start to pile up.

[abstien]
