you guys fall into the same mistake most starting out harmonies do, you go through it really really fast as if just trying to get through it. slow it down and put a bit more feeling into it and you may just have something there. also try getting your levels a bit more matched together. other then that though it was a nice attempt ^_^ keep practicing!
I'm less enthousiastic than most of the replyers. Goof voic material, but too often (very) out of tune, and the performance is sloppy. Tenor: no hands in pocket! Baritone: stand still, you keep changing your feet postion. Nice that you perform barefoot, though: I prefer performing barefoot myself.
That was awesome! I'd like to hear you guys do this with a little better audio recording setup, though, instead of just using the camera's mic. Also, I'd slow it back down a bit, as there are more nuances of the harmonies that would pop out if you let the notes ring out for longer. Great job, though. Keep posting vids!

u were very fast which isnt a bad think but i would say slow down and props to the guy all the way to the right for doing that whole line of low notes:)
The Only Thing that is bad is the guy who sing the hole song does not realy fit in the other 3 guys.... i dont know why ...... it just does not fit good
Pretty good considering you did it from scratch without professional material. At one point you got fast (I'm not sure if that's what you wanted). Hey you can be proud of the fact that you didn't lipsync.
Pretty good. . .guy furthest on the left (can't tell since it's compressed to mono) sounds a little off on the fifth, but it's very good for live and non-professional.
Really a job well done, the only point of criticism that I have is to slow down just a tad (you're a little over tempo), that may be what was throwing off the harmony, but otherwise well done.
Even with the intonation problems it was still very enjoyable to listen to and I look forward to hearing something recorded when you are more vocally 'fresh!' Don't let people get you down and keep up the good work!
I'll agree that some of it WAS a little off, however the C# bit ("well I feel like I've been" section) was done beautifully. It would be really cool if you guys did this again when you were less tired.... it would also be cool if you had a fifth person doing the really, really, really, REALLY low bass vocals as well.
please realize we did these recordings after 5 hours of wedding practice so we are all tired. I realize that we are all key, but we just love to sing. I thought others would just like to hear us.
Don't listen to the guy who can't spell "a cappella." You guys sound tight and I enjoy all your videos. In this one, tune the tenor to the bass, and vice versa, and the rest will fall into place. Vowel sounds like "here" and "oil" are very difficult to tune, so make sure you're all on the same vowels and diphthongs and you'll be good to go. Sounds great guys.
Oh, and if the other guy wants credentials or something, I'm a grad student in music, and I'm done my fair share of occapella in my day.
Before people get pissed at me for criticing, I'm a vocal major at my school that you have to audition to get into and we've only won first place at our compettitions so I know what I'm talking about.
Very good but the beginning was a bit shaky. The ooh's were kind of flat, and the end went pretty flat but overall very good especially for being occapella.

Kudos to the bass for making all those notes in the solo. I've heard a lot of others mess it up.
