The 15 Best Performances From The Sing Off! (Series 1, 2, 3)

[Oohfabio]

The fact that you gave #1 to a group that ended up having all the groups in the song is lame. While it was a great performance, I don't think it deserves #1. What is your criteria for selecting the songs?

[MeaningofSilence]

#t=22mm46s

[ophelia20046]

Can't understand why you would put afro blue anywhere in this list. they were flat and sucked most of their songs. That's not jazz either, since I do know what I am talking about.

[srk1214]

@ophelia20046 Quite clearly you do not actually... I am in an a cappella group myself and I view Afro-Blue as the epitome of a big group. Pentatonix did deserve to win, but Afro-Blue was hands down the second best group in Season 3. Followed by Delilah in third. If anyone was flat and actually sucked a fair amount it was the Aires, who were entirely carried by Michael.

[cchambo33]

@ophelia20046 you clearly do not know what you're talking about

[ophelia20046]

can't understqand why you would include afro blue at all. so many more talented people went home back of those sucky people.

[cchambo33]

@ophelia20046 is it cuz they're black?

[tyjaay1021]

I have to argue, Delilah's Grenade, gosh... Should be in the top 5! Amy's face and expressions were amazing. Put Your Records On by Afro Blue should of been close to Grenade. Also American Boy by Afro Blue should of been up there... Oh and yeah... the most important thing... Video Killed the Radio Star by Pentatonix should be in first...Oh, and you forgot... all of Pentatonix's songs... All of their songs should be here. Dog Days and Love Lock-Down being in top 5. My opinion.

[SileteBlack1316]

Ugh only one Penatonix song??? Messed up!!!

[hogly3243]

No Backbeats? What the efffff

[anatoliy8212]

For me all the songs of "Pentatonix", "Urban method" and some of "Vocal Point" awesome. Thanks for sharing. I love "sing off".

[aecopenhaver]

Some of them I totally agree on! Thanks for sharing!

[LutBen13]

Overall I think this is pretty good but I agree with hwirstrom, if it were me Creep by Street Corner Symphony would be on there along with How to Love and Dream On by Delilah, Pour Some Sugar On Me by OTR, American Boy by Afro Blue, and Love Lockdown & Piece of My Heart by Pentatonix

[stuie334]

fuck hip hop acapella what a joke sounds like shit they should have lost ages ago they are gunna ruin classic acapella

[carolinaelite12]

kinfolk murdered let it be, and not in a good way. you cant put your own spin on a classic like that

[bubbleblowers9]

Delilah's "Grenade" still gives me chills... I love that you put Journey and Queen into the line-up. "Fix you" was a great song to end on, btw! <3

[bramvanbreda91]

I'm really missing ''Let's get it on'' (Pentatonix) and ''Midnight train to Georgia'' (Dartmouth Aires)! That would be my top 2! But hey, this is your choice so...

[Sethman83]

The Queen medley should have been top 5!!!

[ArabianAlien]

I agree with most of your choices, except if it were up to me, I wouldve put vocal point at 15, (if on the list at all) dartmouth aires higher on the list, and committed higher. I cant argue with your Pentatonix choice since every one of their performances were so good, any of them could be considered their best.

[cubsfan4695]

season one sucked compared to the other two

[14fireboy]

Pentatonix should've swept the top 5 in this video, their performances were over the top

[MariahnFulminate]

I think you have great taste, but honestly it was so hard this year. I would buy albums from every group that appeared. I am really glad I wasn't a judge.

[Koby8706]

mrduckbear guy lol i am glued to ur videos from the sing-off awesome job!!

[kchantry]

I've been watching your SO videos for so long... I think you've earned the right to pick your favorites and put them in a video. Thanks for everything, mrduckbear!

[hwirstrom]

i think Street corner symphony's creep should have made the list too

[DontHoldYourChops]

I thought Season 2's "I've Got the Music in Me" was pretty awesome. Yeah it was a compilation of all of the groups, but it was still a good performance :p

[EvilLoynis]

The first thing I must think is that you never watched "ALL" the episodes as you have skipped some massive songs. Even limiting it to 1 per group (which is insanely hard to do) is no excuse. Putting Committed's Apologize at #10 is just wrong on 2 points. 1 it was not their best song and 2 way beter than #10 if it had to be ranked.

Won't spoil it anymore but your choices for each of the groups seems really off except for Delilah and Pentx (so many good ones by Pent it's a hard choice hehe).

[lionroar224]

Well this list is your opinion of course, but I would argue for Jerry and for the Whiffenpoofs... especially above Afro blue and Voices of Lee. Those two entries I don't think should have been in the top at all, and the So Cal one is... questionable v.v I'm not sure if I'd argue against it but "Grenade" by Delilah was definitely better (in my opinion I guess). Still, I don't think your list was bad. For the Backbeats I would have picked "Landslide" though.

[abetheh]

In my opinion the Aires' Queen Medley has to be the best. No question about it.

[isaidim18]

The Backbeats totally failed on Firework. Why was it #3?

[demery143]

An appropriate #1 song. 

[whoyou90]

No No No. Fix You should not even be #1, maybe in the top 5, but never #1. The #1 song should have been "Love Lockdown" from Pentatonix. And another thing, Why was Kinfolk 9 on the list? They should have never been on there (the list or the show) to begin with. Although I do admit that the "Let it Be" was good, it didn't get them out of their hole from the "Pricetag" the put on themselves. Urban Method should have had either "Poison" or "Just Can't Get Enough" instead of "Airplanes." To be cont.

[MrFlamingBunnies]

This list is perfect... I thought about it a long time but yes... this is spot on

[raud]

ARCADE FIRE'S WAKE UP should be the performance occupying the first place! It's fantastic!!!

[farside1231]

9:45 I was waiting for Committed...

[4HIM27]

@farside1231 same i heart them

[NDawgHoyt]

I'm guessing you intentionally did only one song per group.

I would have changed a couple. Urban Method - Poison instead of Airplanes. Backbeats - Landslide instead of Firework. Pentatonix - Dog Days. SCS - Down on the Corner. And a couple others.

Also, Jerry Lawson wasn't my favorite group, but that list NEEDED House of The Rising Sun.

[lionroar224]

@NDawgHoyt I'm totally with you on this one.

[PandoraWoozle]

I know it is tough to choose, but to leave off Dog Days are Over by Pentatonix is just sad.

[selwoon]

Not bad. Tough to put together. IMO Season 1 can't touch Seasons 2 and 3. Other than the 4 Season 1 performances, can't argue with your picks. Would replace with Street Corner Symphony "Creep", Backbeats "Landslide", Groove for Thought "Cooler than Me", and Pentatonix "Love Lockdown" or "Spears Medley".

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

>>>

-YES! Yes YES! Pentatonix wins all!

After hearing all of those, hearing Pentatonix (for the billionth time) gives me the same feeling you get after trying on a million different peices of clothing, and putting back on your favorite pair of jeans ;)

-Ok.... Fix You was pretty fantastic ;)

*hug*

[tyjaay1021]

@iLeaveYouWithHugs So you're saying only Pentatonix should be on the list? I agree! Video Killed The Radio Star has to be first. And the other songs can fall in whatever order, but Dog Days being second and Love Lock-Down being third. But Delilah's Grenade should be on there with Afro Blue's American Boy and Records On.

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

-Bleh Urban Method

-bleh Afro-Blue

-Aires... They blow me away

-21:05 AWESOME!!!

-Yes! I love them! @22:55

-24:04 BeYOND great!

-My GOSH they are good!

>>>

[woodlark391]

To cut off the Aires just as the Queen medley was heading for home is sacrilege. Bzzzt. You lose.

[CaronAplus]

Every Little Step...love it:)

[plonker2471]

FUCK YEAH JOURNEY MEDLEY

[PandoraWoozle]

@plonker2471 that was my favorite performance of all Sing Off performances UNTIL Pentatonix. Makes it kinda cool that Scott Hoying was singing in the SoCals until he formed Pentatonix!

[josephvitug]

@PandoraWoozle Scott Hoying was not in the SoCals. Unless it was post the SoCals Sing-Off stint. Where did you get that info?

[PandoraWoozle]

@josephvitug Yes, not at the time of the SoCal VoCals stint on The Sing Off. I was after that - he was a member until he dropped out to form Pentatonix.

[tyjaay1021]

@PandoraWoozle yeah... Totally wrong information there. None of them were ever on the Sing Off. I've been stalking Pentatonix since the Sing Off began. Sooo not true! Pentatonix, before it was even named, started as a trio with Kirstin, Scott, and Mitch. In highschool they sang the three of them. When they were invited to the Sing Off, they decided they needed a bass and beat boxer. They found Kevin online, and Avi through a friend.

[Sevendust9227]

Great job man. Obviously everyone has disagreements about favorite/best songs, and its almost impossible to make an objective list, but hearing all these performances again made me smile. I had forgotten just how great "Fix You" was and how much it moved me.

We all appreciate the work you put into this!

[ajmajk]

@Sevendust9227 dude totally agree with u i unfotunetly was only introduced to this show towards the end of the last season and man did i miss a lot.... i almost cried at "fix you" whoa

[PyroMan0708]

@Sevendust9227 Hell ya man I was so hoping Street Corner Symphony would be on here. You did a tremendous job with this compilation.

[Stx11]

Thank you MrDuckBear11 so much!

We sometimes disagree on grades and performances, and I would've picked a different list than this, but I love the work you do in putting all these great performances up on YouTube so we can all enjoy them again and again, making our own list of Favorites!!!

[leestridge]

ptx would have gotten all 15 spots if this were my video...

[sgnorush]

22:20 WTF?!? XD

[Snikhah]

@sgnorush LMAO



[wilsoncombatgrl]

You can't please everyone so don't sweat it...thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[flyingDancerBdS]

I feel like beatles medley only made the list because it was the beatles and they have similarly simple voices

[xlmeay]

No "Mr. Blue Sky"? No "Fuckin Perfect"? No "Use Somebody"?

Ya, "Fix You" was great, but there were so many greater group performances.

This seems to be a lot more of "My 15 Favorite Performances" rather than "The 15 Best Performances"

[sgnorush]

@xlmeay he made a favorite opening songs of season 1 2 3.

[gymettte57]

The Dartmouth Aires queen meadly should have been it least in the top 5.... then again its mrduckbear's opinion lol

[shazuey]

Seems like this guy grades the bigger groups easier, and doesn't appreciate how good pentatonix is with just 5 people.

[eduardoilarraza452]

Can't say I titally agree, but that is a great list. And thank you for keeping each group in it once and making it a true medley

[spaceballs369]

13:24 to 13:35 kept me in CHILLS.

[pinkpeachz]

thanks for all your effort, really appreciate it =D

[sbasket2011]

i friggin love committed :))! they are so amazing!

[1971emcee]

IMHO These are my top 10: 1) A Change Is Gonna Come - Afro Blue 2) This Love - Committed 3) Dog Days Are Over - Pentatonix 4) Landslide - Backbeats 5) Creep - Street Corner Symphony 6) Who Medley - Beezlebubs 7) Queen Medley - Dartmouth Aires 8) House Of The Rising Sun - Jerry Lawson and Talk Of The Town 9) Down - NOTA 10) Need You Now - Afro Blue

[okfinejustin]

In my opinion, these are the best songs by each group: Dog Days are Over (PTX), I Believe I can Fly - Fly MAshup (AB), All of the Lights (UM), Queen Medley (DA), Grenade (Delilah),

[ronaldihenry25]

i really do appreciate you doing these montages and videos of the sing off as i love the show, and i do respect your opinion but i just dont know how you didnt include Pentatonix's "Let's Get It On" and Committed's "Let's Stay Together"

[dramababe3474]

Some of my faves didn't make the list...for example The Backbeats Love Shack, The Yellowjackets Wanna Be, and Delilah How To Love

[azzvidz]

Just nice :-)

[kassy000]

The Dartmouth Aires Queen Medley cuts off before he's done. I loved when the backbeats sang Love Shack they killed it and Street Corner's Symphony's version of Creep to this day STILL gives me goose bumps. Great Jobs with the videos.

[GMom100]

I was sitting here watching and getting madder because you hadn't featured my second favorite group (after Pentatonix) and low and behold - they were No. 1!!! There was really A LOT to choose from! Thanks and good job!!

[wildgrasse]

VOCAL POINT!!! but I think Love the way you look tonight deserves a spot too

[gabegoodman09]

Very cool! Thanks for adding some Season 1 videos. I never watched back then so it's nice to see highlights from S1. Love Candace of Voices of Lee!!

[ekupskipay]

Backbeats' Landslide didnt make the list?

[SpeakerAndrewWiggin]

@ekupskipay

Backbeats' Breakeven - was my favorite. I watched it every day till season 3 started. I loved their material - great talent, great artistry.

[theredm35]

Glad to see you're still doing Sing-Off videos past the season.

[ashleyjensonxx]

the first video I watched on YouTube this year :)

[mariposa281]

I thought "Lets Get It On" was better fit for number 2.. But understandable.. Its your personal views and favorites.. Thanks for the uploads.. Is there chance for a Pentatonix Playlist?!? Puh please.

[AceMark331]

@mariposa281 he made montages for all the groups lol....

[SpeakerAndrewWiggin]

@mariposa281

mrduckbear11 did a fantastic montage of Pentatonix... it's called;

Final Montage - Winner of America's Favourite Acapella Group (Series 3) - Pentatonix!

This guy has covered the sing-off better than any other, and I love his 'grades' of the groups, and personal montages.

Thanks mrduckbear, I love your work.

[My2ndnephew]

Thank you for all of your work. I have been subscribed to your channel for some time and have enjoyed not only the Sing Off, but all of the videos you post. Happy New Year, mrduckbear!!

[mrxxwinsoonxx]

Are u kidding me... Pentatonix should.at least occupy 6 spots

[OSUfirebird18]

@mrxxwinsoonxx

As much as I love PTX, having the same group on that many times would be just a rehash of his PTX montage. :)

[shinestudi0s]

@mrxxwinsoonxx 6? they should get all!!!!

[koolkat104]

I was freaking out not seeing Fix You during the montage, but then you put it as number 1 and I was satisfied.

[lubis1991]

sweet caroline!

[Banting007]

IMO On The Rocks best performance Mr mr's Kyrie not bad romance. Backbeats definitely more memorable on Loveshack. Cant argue about the rest although I would add yellowjackets waving the flag instead of Socals journey, it was a pretty average medley unlike darmouth's queen medley.

[AceMark331]

No offense but its damn funny how ur trying to make new videos using old material :) Reason probably because all the shows are over...

[Cerenaud]

@AceMark331 You apparently have not been watching his videos for long. He does this with all the shows he posts, and I always enjoy them!

[FiDie67]

no Love Lockdown? =(

[HK1368]

kinfolks 9 deserves way up .

[meiko193]

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu <3
