It Don't Mean A Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing.

[happycake3]

you're singing it but you're not feeling it......it don't mean a thing if it aint got that.. swing!

[AgentQQ8]

Nothing could prove the point of the song better than this performance.

[aherna9557]

Great Job!, I really enjoyed it.

[browsebimbo]

Absolutely shocking. Please leave the singing to Ella Fitzgerald

[MrOboey]

this isn't jazz... its show choir trying to do Jazz...

[HooyooMooyoo]

where the swing????? I love you but come on.. Give some more to it! With no movement it is just a flat version of it

[KR40D]

Girls - (Lauren, Emily and ?susannahmcnugget) - I loved it!

Well done. Simply a fun thing to sing and to watch.

Some of the comments on here miss the point entirely.

Yes - the recording levels could have been better.

No - you can't scat it or improvise. You're singing a three-part arrangement off paper, so you have to stay together - and you did.

Special kudos to the second alto (on the right). 7.5 * Doo-wah then up a bit!

[CroissantOrange]

This don't mean a thing just a bunch of blond who can't swing.

[zipzapusa]

Hey Gals good work! You need a good engineer to help tweak this piece.

Bon chance.

[Talklykaweirdo]

Square

[insane320]

good technique but the song was dead

[iamlauren24]

Ok I personally really like it but yah a little movement would be good too. Good harmonies though!

[wgzayasortiz]

Hey! I'm 18, Puerto Rican...I don't know nothing about scatting or anything like that, but I like this song and I enjoyed this video is really not bad, and they can sing :)

[MrSpid3rFingers]

Regardless of what anyone else said, I thoroughly enjoyed this. =)

[Sassidontcry]

it feel that this ain't got that that swing

[FarbFilm69]

You sing beautiful, but... where is that swing you're talking about? Loosen up and don't sing according to the rules.. SWING! LIVE!

[charlottediaz70]

yeah its flat and all but its pretty good for a white girl hahaha omg it looks like they cant move

[charlottediaz70]

yeah its flat and all but its pretty good for a white girl hahaha

[ectwilight910]

you guys look so stiff! you need to move more when you sing swing!

[IrishStepDancer228]

0:42 The blond's voice LOL

[eamon305]

fuknn riooodes

wudnt mind a 4some wit dem ;)

[cyclos12]

You can't be white and sing this right!

[3Glimpse3]

@cyclos12 hahaha really? Don't generalize please! The thing here is that no one will ever sing it like ella, that's for sure.

[Camikool89]

u have no soul , u sound plain look at the original singer and see how they sing it

[JojoMonkeyful]

they fail

[retronut55]

---Sorry Girls but It Don't Mean a Thing Since Ain't Got The Swing :-)

[325Chuck355]

Did that mean a thing? 'Cause it ain't got no swing!

[annapolisguy60628]

i agree with froggy19510, u guys are not scattin, its flat put sum soul in it but u guys are white. im not racist either

[batgirl1107]

apparently they havent got that swing........

[schemath]

It Ain't Swing

but awesome

[extasisNOW]

Ya me dieron ganas de casarme

[thefamilycat]

So whats wrong with standing still-if it was good enough for Roy Orbison and Gene Pitney should be good enough for them

[Jazzbeu55]

This is a very nice local performance. I'm sure your community is proud of you. Most would be. You look great and your voices sound good together. The biggest opportunity for improvement is in stage presence/choreography. Your piano player was wonderful...just pour the same style and energy into your singing and movements as he used and the number will be fabulous.

[diack8]

3 delectable ladies singing beautifully. Very Nice

[thatswierdlol]

I dont see no swing, this dont mean a thing.

[keebrown091]

Wow! Kidding right???? Needs some more twisting,turning,snapping,clap­ping,and definetly swing dancing!!!! Crazy folks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SeoulSarah]

Nice voices! Nice rendition too! However ladies you're just standing still! Lol noone stands still and listens to Jazz. Some shoulder action maybe or coordinated movements would have upgraded your performance. Overall, nice singing.

[1912bianca]

some real stupid comments of people who have never tried to sing. This is not a solo!

I think the only thing you should watch out, is that all three voices need to be equal. They are not, but still a great job.

[Crazyguitarman1991]

Honestly not feeling the swing here..

[iladel81]

That was horrible. Just stop them b4 they do that again.

[fatalknivez]

That was wonderful, ladies.

It's every tenor players dream to meet a woman with voices like your's!

[MegaDragon889]

u stole duke ellingtons music!!!!! jerkz

[Scotty122896]

it aint the melody it aint the music that makes the tune complete. your singing about swinging and you just stand there

[smilze16]

where did u get da sheet music/?

[ShawtyGirl1400]

you really did a good job only you were standing still. you gotta swing back and forth

[jennerbaquero]

this is not you best perfomance; but you have a great talent and you know you work; very good choice to sing music from 1940's. I enjoyed very much your version of Bei mir bist du schön; congratulations

[RockStarHouseBand]

You guys should try Gildas, "Put the Blame on Mame" next time!

I think you'd be good at it!

[TheClaon]

you guys should try the whole "swing" thing. the whole thing was straight.

[luvcomedy123]

Loved it, very nice performance ladies!!

[zydney12345]

FINALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Veektoereeah]

Shouldn't have taken on sucha  soulful song if you weren't going to be soulful...

[Daime61]

right

[Daime61]

Not evn moving they're justing standing there

[RandomRainbow11]

Darn it. I have to sing this for my preformance, and I hate that doo wah doo wah doo wah blah blah blah blabity stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PixelPwner]

no soul lol no heart ,OH YA THE SONGS OK BUT HOWS MY HAIR LOOK HEHE?

[thedummerdragon]

not bad at all :)

[VJSco]

ho yes nice :)

[Froggy19510]

No. You're kidding. Right? Move. Swing your hips. Snap your fingers SWING! Anything! Sounds like girls glee club or something. You have talant just put yourself into it!

[glict]

@Froggy19510 white ppl syndrome haha

[MonsterMae69]

@Froggy19510 they aren't moving because theres no drums providing a groovy beat. you may think i'm getting, but put a jazz drummer up there and they'll be knocking hips. ;)

[MonsterMae69]

@MonsterMae69 KIDDING* not getting lol

[matheuMsfonseca]

@Froggy19510 You know, It don't mean a thing If they ain't got that swing. ^^ hehe

[theTVchannel1000]

@Froggy19510 white people I tell you, best versions ive seen are with african americans

[mattj285]

@Froggy19510 I am pretty sure they also know how to spell talent as well as having it.

[mylightside]

@Froggy19510 What this guy said. It's jazz! You can't just stand there! Listen to the way Ella Fitzgerald does it, she threw every bit of herself into the song. You have good voices but if you want to sing jazz then act like jazz singers.

[4GODonlyGirl]

you guys were so good!!! man, i love this song! i wish music was like this now'a'days!

[Yukkio]

U gurls could of done more moves to this song but overall u girls had a great harmony

[davibreu]

i love the song hehhe. Very nice! HAve you ever seen Ella singing shes damn good and crazy hehe

[MikMonsted]

lol i like how you sing that it needs swing, and then you have absolutely none. nailed it.

[proMetal91]

a stupende

[nyc999]

Good effort but sounds flat, needs more depth.

I don't think the the poor quality recording does it justice..

[losdilla]

It was their version of the song. It was good effort. Its not my favorite version. give them credit for effort.

[mcrgurl0888]

god i hadda sing this song in the 5th grade chorous

[TheWrestler56]

you guys sound rlly good

[StLouisWom4n]

It wasn't jazzy enough D:

[songbird4him4eva]

I agree!!!! They don't even have that swing!!! LOL Im not hatin, but it was okay for what it was...

[arobert16]

its very nice :)

[xXxBrokenByLovexXx]

Well personally I LOVE IT!

I think you lot should back off and don't bring skin colour into it rob!!!

They've made it their own and I think for their vocal range it's better singing how they can and pulling it off well than trying to do it like duke ellington and failing!

We all got to dance to our own boom boom

[Bjornry]

Louis armstrong also sang that song if you people dont know. and the famous duke elligton.

[Bjornry]

The two original played the original version.

[Festesson]

Ella Fitzgerald

[robmanic44]

White girls can't jive.

[Blattdestodes]

tres schlecht

[blackwater24]

Scat properly, damn it.

[susannahmcnugget]

I agree that we are not "scatting" properly. However, if you look at the technical definition of scatting, it does not include "Pre-disposed words in three part harmony."

Just thought I'd clarify.

[beowulven]

@susannahmcnugget

I thought scat was... aw, nevermind.

[singingintherain101]

Great job! You guys sang that really well. =)

[peacelovetwilight45]

FlaminBubble, it's not screechy, it's called jazz dear.

[XxpianorockerxX]

I like the original way better. By Duke Ellington.

[xmollygirlx]

Amazing job! I love this. you guys are really strong singers and harmonizers

[fatcat276]

we are doing this song in choir

[IL0VESAVY]

okay all the ppl who think its too "screechy" its how its wrote okay? they tell you to sing screechy! okay!? get over yourselves! were singing this in the all county chorus! AMAZING JOB GIRLS! was this downtown charelston???!!! please reply!

[LouiseLollipop]

That was awesome.

We're playing that song in our orchestra.

[JiaJonas8129]

wow... this is really good. i like the harmonies. i am in choir as well and we are singing that song. the only problem is that our guys aren't singing and we have people in the class who are dumb and don't just pay attention. but yeah, this is really good. where did you all sing this at?

[superlarax5]

wow . im singing this is in my show choir . everything is wrong . wrong wrong wrong . wheres the jazz in this ?

[sistagirl488]

true they ain't got no jazz this shit is wack

[FlaminBubble]

Ick-too shriekish... might just be the sound quality but i think this sound could be so much better

[elldom]

Girls, girls--DO the thang yer singin' about...

[broadwayactor94]

i am a white person but i do jazz but to the three lovely ladys you guys were great

[girlbaby206]

[callmekiddo]

Well, in our defense, we are white. :]

[girlbaby206]

[LipSmacker1995]

Jazz people arent always white....ur a sterotyping racist agaisnt ur own kind

[rosalvacampa]

first of all its prounaunced it dont mean a thang so thats wat mest u guys up~ but other than that good! and a little bit louder!
