Tiebreaker: Midnight Express and Northern Cree

[MrNMrzRonKick2012]

WoW!!! Both my fav drum groups...got to Northern Cree at Yakima pow wow they rocked it from what i could see lol half the pow wow was standing behind them. I think they sounded great.

[proud2blumb]

N. Cree blasted, anybody know what lang this song is in??

[craigtdion]

Northern Cree all the way...MNX nice singing!

[FantasticFemale1]

Wow! ! Awesooome siiinging!!!!

[JordanLee76]

@neosleven's a fag hahahaha

[ednoisecat]

@JordanLee76 Why do you have to be like that? Please don't use that term or that kind of language here! Both of these drums are champion singers and they do what they do with the utmost respect. Please try to do the same!

[grassdanceman99]

ya Northern Cree awesome 2nd lead

[Suevalley]

almost GON 2012 and comments are still heated on here?! MUCH PROPS TO THE CHAMPS!! Can't wait to see competition this year!

[49Cheddy2010]

Why Is Everybody Hatin Both are Two Very Solid Drum Groups...Northern Cree Goes Hard As Well As Midnite Who Cares Who Won...Remember When Powwows Were For Everybody To See Each Other Again? Now Its All About Money An Which Drum Group Is Better...Lets Put Our Differences Aside Both Are Champion Drum Groups...

[swustus]

I honestly don't think Northern Cree can compare to MNX. Every song I hear from MNX are powerful songs and come from the heart. When you listen to Northern Cree, they try too hard. 

[grsslgcy32]

BEST EVER! HOKA!

[soLok2eagle]

10 aGainst 12.. loL.. yu telL Me.. Quit hatinG people.. sheeit! Drum Groups weren't Made For Beef/Drama.. They were made for prayers and The Good feeling.. who cares who won or Lost.. to me they both won.. you people should know better..

[RgcN8vCree]

Gotta give it to Northern Cree, every lead was loud and clear...and badass like that one dude said.

[bigmunch111]

I dont even know how peeps can compare Northern Cree to MNX???...Really?...Not a hater what so ever MNX is dope!!!...its just Northern Cree is dopest...but still much love for both groups...Propz from Cheyenne Country...

[HuntbWolf]

amazing...like to great warriors going at it

[SiouxValleyKidd]

@cmarty1992

The drum is the heartbeat of our ppl..

I don't know about you but i like my heart beat loud &nd clear.

SIOUX STYLE!!!! HOKA HAH!!!

DAKOTA LAKOTA alike!

MNX!!

[luhhhhriee13]

N o r t h e r n C r e e ♥

[powwowbrown13]

Northern Cree no doubt... 2nd nd 4th lead were pretty badass....

[cmarty1992]

gee that drum abuse there mnx try to be more respectful of the grandfather

[Suevalley]

Props to NC for OWNING this one!!!!!

[drazecrmink]

F#<k Ya!!...Northern Cree ALL THE WAY...

[lumbndn4ya]

N.C. rock dat shzt!!! short, sweet, hardcore.

[n8ivemafia1]

i used to sing like this before i took an arrow to the knee.

[mrdustyhorn1]

i see there is a lot of hate going on here shut up and enjoy the music instead of trying to be the best

[kristy1ca]

I think we need to stick together and support each other no matter what, much love to both groups, we all need eachother.

[eversickbouy]

WASTE NAH NORTHERN CREE....ALBERTA'S PRIDE n JOY!!!!

[tyohun3530]

nrthern cree killed it, better song better leads, maybe if midnite had all der crew maybee,,, but the world may never knowww... haha

[nikefootball49]

@Neosleven haha you just mad they won and thats shitty drum group if you need "opie and the others" there to win thats not even nothern crees entire regular drum group, and they still WON, if MNX is a true good drum group then they can win with anyone at their drum.

[nikefootball49]

everyones always hating on nothern cree "oh same songs they sing all the time!" why would they change their gameplan when its worked a 100% of the time!!??

[bearspaw001]

yeah they should of won but they messed up on there down beat and you can hardly hear them when they really hit there drum now northern cree there where spot on didnt mess up or nothing and they only need one more to catch up its not a contest its just to groups that like to make poeple feel good and MNX is the best in my books and so is northern cree hats off to my brotherns and to MNX

[eliasdejesus8]

if they don't like this they hater!

[bunntron3030]

Tough Pick! they both are awesome! both my favs! no matter who wins HOOOOKKKKKAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

[KiNGBird21]

2nd lead for MNX & 3rd lead for NC,,, pretty beast

[Dustyp03]

lol these guys up top are just hatin... nc is hands down the best.

[Krud29]

This was a fun tie breaker to sing on. lol me nd my sister are the back-ups for midnite. and I will NEVER choose favorites. lmao i love both drums, ive sang with both drums,we ALL jammed!! It was kinda sad that we got 2nd but its alright! lmao it aint like were dyin or nuthing! haha no need for arguments or hatin!! :)

-LKB ;D

[whitebuffalo79]

right on' right on..N.C got' this 1 huh'..

[felsman05]

Why do people always have to hate. Either Northern Cree or Midnite could have taken this one on any given day. NC just happen to come out on top. People should just shut up and realize that they are both badass drum groups in there prime.

[DonLVsDoyle]

hyoo khhaaa!



[Scabzilla49]

I think both drums are awesome in their own rights. But I noticed this year though that MNX has been crying around when they lose or don't place 1st....

[Jaimz003]

N.C.!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[sheyaow03]

NC won nuff said!!!!!

[magazuawacinwin]

Wow the second and fourth lead for Northern Cree were B.A!

[AmBeLLiNa09]

neoslaven is mad because mnx never went to grammys before and never will

[Neosleven]

@AmBeLLiNa09 Yeah went to the grammys and didnt win shit lol

[homefryable]

a few of those Honor beats were too fast..near the begining u know.

[nikefootball49]

I was there NC won, get over it for shit sakes, my brother helped out scoring the drum groups MNX was pounding the drum to hard and too long. NC was quick and simple and got the job done

[Suevalley]

@nikefootball49 Agreed, choice was made, it's done son!...and still bitterness on these comments lol

[favelmomma]

Northern Cree Hands DOWN!!! besides....cree men are damn sexy!!! :D

[shaleymescudi]

Whoever chose the song midnite was singing .. bad choice.. too long and boring. They shouldve picked another jammer.... NC had the better type of song for the tie breaker... Listen to the crowd response.. and ppl enuff of the excuses for midnite. they lost fair n square.

[TewaDieHard]

Im All 4 Thee Back-Up Singers! But MNX Soo Won, Riqht?

[jitterbop]

...haters.

northern cree all the way, all day.

[Jaimz003]

NORTHERN CREE!!! They're more talented than.....! Tired of hearing MNX!!!!

[NDNboi117]

Both groups are awesome but I'd go for Midnite.

[theDemonInsideYou100]

fck you haters! creestyle strait up nc is da greatest world class singing champs lol

[Kaaarri]

@theDemonInsideYou100 WORD! 

[chookyKidd]

MNX!! EM-IN-EX!!!

[chookyKidd]

i sooo thought MNX had it.. both dope drums.. but i think midnite express sang harder.. Northern Cree always sings like that, still dope though..

[longshaw30]

Wow neosleven I think NC did great! I use to sing and dance northern traditional long time ago they did really good I miss singing and dancing the truth is it don't matter who won as long u sing for fun and for our elders that's what counts the most noesleven

[Awesomeness3305]

what rights does any one have 2 put down any singers .

[LPCRLC]

I thought both groups did great. good show.

[kiowa216]

I was goin for MNX but Northern Cree won me over.

[grassdancer411]

i love northern cree...but mnx had it...lol

[6JDB0YST5]

dang they both did good! i was there watchin it was about 3:00 am when nc got done! hope to see them both at GON again this year!

[lilmaka08]

Their both good drum groups. enough said!

[monsterredlight]

Northern Cree all the Way....they so took this..!

[Neosleven]

Northern Cree are a bunch of showoffs!!! "Lets see how high and fast we can sing!", "Watch how fancy my lead sounds!" Nobody can write a song like the mighty MNX!!! And they're ALWAYS coming out with new stuff!!! Where's Northern Cree? Just singing their popular songs all the time! The lack of leadership and the absence of usual singers is why they lost! If Opie and the others were there, there would be no need for a tie breaker! It would be over! Enough said!

[aHappyRuhtard]

@Neosleven Agreed 100%!!! Never heard truer words! Opie also said he wanted to take a break from GON this year. Besides, MNX got 3!!! Catch up!!!

[1aquinnah]

@Neosleven Dont hate.

[Pasquayak15]

@Neosleven Your getting mad cause 2 of the best drum groups went into a tiebreaker and the one you wanted to win didint come out on top? This tiebreaker could of went to any one of these groups, and the way Northern Cree does there leads is there style even Mnx has a diffrent style and your also forgetting both of these group have heavy respect for each other, Always did and always will.

[bearspaw001]

@Pasquayak15 yeah just like my brother kyle said they haters oh yeah brother im getting married and i want you to be my best man

[Pasquayak15]

@bearspaw001 Lol bro im not kyle but I am his nephew but ill mention it to him! Hahah

[bearspaw001]

@Neosleven what the hell you talking about its called northern singing contest there should of not been a tie breaker cause northern cree is the best northern group they perfected the northern style so shut your mouth and they would have more then just three yeah opies group is awsome there are both the best in my books so shut your mouth they both make people feel good with there awsome songs so yeah there both the best man

[davidlarock3]

@Neosleven and who asked for your opinion?

[medicaljacket420]

NC was rockin!!!!! Idk bout MNX :( haha

[lckmyhole]

MNX lost because of the hand signals... @.49

[45LELEE]

I was there & I missed this event...Damn! I have to say Northern Cree has this...on Midnite Xpress you hardly heard the guys at the end & the drum out sang them

[MrJDOG91]

How com Mr.Shane Dion was'nt ther??

[YoungNation2011]

MNX HANDS DOWN NIGGAS!! CREE EXPRESS jk

[threecrees]

it would have been so hard to judge a tie breaker like this... i love both groups.

[ambienttechno]

@threecrees yeah, i know what you mean, me too.

[nuttz1980]

Northern Cree has it and if you think otherwise listen to the end of MNX and you have to notice you can barely hear the last lead. Either way 2 awesome drum groups.

[kalem29]

mnx shoulda had it...NC just sang wamblis song :\

[sdfcree67]

Northern Express should've won.

[aHappyRuhtard]

@sdfcree67 I disagree, Midnite Cree should've...

[ksock247]

the lead from 5:55 - 6:00 was amazing

[j027]

NORTHERN CREE so won that one... they were jamming from stat to finish

[YoungNation2011]

MNX! MNX! MNX! MNX!

[mlgriffin21]

Northern Cree rocked that !! Realtalk..

[TheHamilton94]

Both good drum groups! Woulda been a hard one for me to judge... Both earned it!

[Crowhopin02]

MNX all thee wayy <3

[DeeShGhiiZhinii]

wholy longest lead of my life haha good song tho!

[YoungNation2011]

I still dont get how Northern Cree won.. Straight style always beats their contemp..

[tacojohn85]

Northern Cree won the tie in my opinion..MNX messed up on the downbeats on the final verse, some of them didn't hit the last beat...

[pafawnz]

xhangnailx...grow up body....northerncree is way better....u must be a brown noser lol

[MrMichaeld3]

MNX ALL THE WAY.....there is only ONE

[absurd207]

northern cree all the way...damn!

[ReNzOhOoPeR]

[PosiePo]

Awesome 2nd Lead NC =)

[StarMrKilla]

oh my gawd , r u guys serious ???, they both sang really good songs, but isnt it pretty obvious Northern Cree WON !?, the crowd was louder too !!

[93SweetBird]

mnx drum got too loud after a lil while... -_- you could barely hear the singin... so i aplaude Northern Cree... they kept a steady pase through their whole song which made it DEADLY!!!! :) whooot!!!

[OmGiLoVeMuZiK87]

MNX's song was one where i could sit there be like, HELL YEA!! great song, great job boys, and girls!! But NC def made me wanna get up and dance! I wasn't there, but just from this song(s) i'm happy with NC winning good job guys nd girl!!

[kpz405]

if it was a tug-o-war, mnx would've won! lol!

[ReNzOhOoPeR]

@kpz405 n or eating contest lmfao..

[skiingcheezit34]

This would be a hard one to judge both drums sounded amazing.

[piapotcree91]

i had fun singin in this tie breaker two champion drums, Midnite Express all the wat tho lol im in the black, grey and yellow polo! third lead baybee! haha\

Delvin K jr

[pwd093]

Two of my favorite drum groups in a tiebreaker...that's awesome...good job boys..midnite express and northern Cree!!!

[tuffspoon]

Of course they were both using a speaker system. Just saying, if you ever stood next to Midnite Express they pretty damn loud. As for the sound on here, I'm sure if they would of adjusted the speaker system to catch the deeper sounds, you would of heard more of MNX. When their song is high, you can hear them as clear as NC. But, their song isn't as high as the on NC sang, plus their drums are different pitches to. That is what I meant, by judging it by audible. Still say song selection

[MrStaybrown]

looks like they both used a speaker system...hmmm...

[tuffspoon]

I think song selection determined the winner of this tiebreaker. I think they both sang songs that suited their style, but NC's song was way more livelier. You can't say audible, cause MNX don't even need a speaker system. lol. Just like seeing two champions go at it in any sorta competition. Different Day and Different powwow, the results could flip flop. just thankful for youtube, so I got to see and hear these songs. lol. for real though.

[MrStaybrown]

Northern Cree was audible all the way through. Every NC member was visibly singing through out the song. Awesome work MNX an Northern Cree!

[Suevalley]

@MrStaybrown true dat, they wanted the title bad and they got it, congrats guys!!

[PowwowGURL94]

NORTHERN CREE ALL THA WAYY! <3<3<3<3<3! no one can lead lykk KYLE PASQUAYAK! hes too deadly!! jus love his leads! they r dope! ... about tym someone else won! mnx was gettin old winnin it for tha past two yrs. ...Hiy Hiy Northern Cree! hooooooka! but still good job mnx!

[chee666]

whoever that is singing at 2:05 has some pipes!!! BEAUTIFUL!

[rezdinized69]

N.C tore it up but gotta give M.N.X props though they put up a nice lil fight hell yea they did good job both drum groups.

[nw807180]

and i want to marry Penny.

[vyellowh]

Holy moly!! Northern Cree killed it with that song!! SO much energy!! Good Voices too!! GO NORTHERN CREE!!

[mcalfrobe666]

northern cree won that one no doubt

[nw807180]

northern cree and mnx aint even in the same dang category so none of what yall say matters. both are tight in they own way. everything gotta be about competition and money these days. sad. see, northern cree can sing low mnx style, but not vice versa, who da more skilled now? weebs nuckas

[Kaaarri]

@nw807180 Double like !

[nw807180]

@Kaaarri WUrd mAmi

[bdplayer333]

mnx got beat by a longshott

[copenhagen1994]

northern cree guys all the way show some pride northern cree won that fair n square

[trottier04]

 NORTHERN CREE all the way man they a deadly drum group

[aHappyRuhtard]

Props to Northern Cree for taking it this year. You guys got away THIS TIME lol jk.

In my personal opinion, MNX is an all around better drum. The structure of their songs, the way they handle their drum, their style and sound, their back-up singers, everything! That's what made them back to back to back GON champs!

[510nativebaby]

MNX fersure shoulda!!!

[ladynativeice1]

glad i wasn't one of the judges! two bad ass songs by two bad ass groups who gave out their best to win it! MNX n NC for life!!

[aHappyRuhtard]

Kyle's leads are dope and all, but he could really do without that "WEEEE!!!!!!" at the end of every lead lol.

[ALpotts16]

awesum for NORTHERN CREE....STILL A FAN OF MIDNITE.....GREAT JOB GUYS ND BACK UP SINGERS.....

[indianprincess6007]

mnx should have won... i love when they sing an exibition for fancy shawl. aNd they originate form st.paul and their all the way over in nm, thats more then anyonecan say

[kraziejackie]

these guys give me the chills when they sing... good chills love it =)

[syndicate767]

Of Course Northern Cree Won It

[Suevalley]

@syndicate767 Of course, with skills like that, they threw down and walked away 2011 Champs yayyerr!!

[McGilvery137]

no way NC had it all the way..dont get me wrong though these guys sound awesome

[MrChagass69]

Northern Cree!! It jus looked like they wanted it more.. Everyone was singing it hard..

[Kash47]

wow... that was an awesome tie breaker. but you can tell northern cree blew em outta the water. lol

[ndnprincez49]

HOKA!!

[haswood]

Good Tie Beaker! I'm a fan of both drums but, Northern Cree Deserved that win! Had to have sounded awesome for the judges standing there

[lazychiggin]

There both CHAMPS!!!! singing at its finest HOKA HEY boys awesome jamm to both Groups

[3698245]

I think they deserved the win!!! After the pick up you cudnt even hear MNX singing just their drumming!!! Northern Cree's singing was louder than their drum throught out the whole song, the way its suppose to be!! Plus they got the crowd with the power of their singing you can just hear the crowd cheering for Northern Cree!!!! HOOKA......

[tsenahful]

How can you determine 2 champion singers both sounded very wonderful

[tradishsunfish]

fuck that was bad ass! i can see why northern cree got it tho...you hear how clear they all sounded. lotta cloudyness when mid-nite got into it... it was fuckin good tho!

[marichriaddi]
