Hide and Seek - Fairview High School POPS '08

[AleksandyrD]

I think the arrangement is by far the most accurate I've seen to the original, and very befitting of the vocal talents involved. My only beef? I didn't like the fact that an a'cappella performance was amplified. I feel as though a certain mysticism was lost this way, and this song certainly is "mystic", or so originally portrayed. 4/5 easily.

[phatdurg14]

is there a written arrangement for this version?

[guitar53545]

This is the best performance I have found on YouTube so far of this song! Amazing job you guys!

[maveric5]

first off i would like to say that this is arguably the best arrangement and performance of this song by a choral group on youtube.

I would agree that if you were to compare this to the original recording of Imogen Heap then yes you would hear "a lot of mistakes" but the thing is she used a vocoder for her harmonies. Because of this the song is very difficult to recreate vocally and emotionally.

Traditional technique and such was lacking but mostly in vowel production.

Overall, Incredible! :)

I think you guys did wonderful!

[davidscrozier]

I really wish the recording wasn't so unbalanced... but memories nonetheless! Miss you guys!

[cherrysoda72]

@davidscrozier DAVIIID! I can't believe over 11,000 people have watched us sing this! love you <3

[davidscrozier]

@cherrysoda72 I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

[Araraquara]

well, THAT´s a VERY good one. Best cover on youtube. Congrats. 5 stars

[fitzofrages]

amazing, you guys did this song very well, really enjoyed it...

[JodieMermaid]

I have goosebumps!

[kljaf]

this is so sweet! this is what a bunch of my friends are planning on doing for our schools spring variety show....i cant wait to see how its gonna turn out! this version is awesome!! :D

[spookboy0]

This is really great, guys. I also like the body movements. It adds a completely different level and sets your performance above others...at least that's how I see it.

[SuperbMusic08]

Hey, pretty nice! Its a awesome song but... Ive noticed many mistakes.. There is at least two voices standing out and one guy is singing through his nose..and at times there is too much song where it sounds like shouting. Being a small group, the MAIN key is to blend. In Fort Collins, The Rocky Mountain High School jazz choir "Spotlight" sung this song and they blend like once voice, its unbelievably amazing! If you work on that, you guys will sound pure. Just thought I'd give a tip

[SFuNk24]

some of that balance stuff is really the sound board guys fault though in this situation

[6our6vampire6hearts]

hot damn that was phenominal. they nailed it, great job job guys!!

hardly any choir can perform this completely perfect, but they were really close!!

[SuperbMusic08]

Actually, The Rocky Mountain High School jazz choir "Spotlight" performed this song to perfection. I believe they will have the recording up on there myspace soon.

[jadesfinest]

priceless great job you guys

[haloghost1]

Wow!!! Awesome job guys!!! I'm so glad i had a chance to go to such an amazing school!

[sanitilium]

Omg, you guys were my favorite act. It sounded so amazing. I think you did it better than Imogen Heap. I hope you're planning on doing something this year :D

[mcrkid22]

Ouch... A lot of mistakes, but then again, it's a terribly difficult song.

Besides the subtle errors, you guys did this absolutely wonderfully. It's beautiful, and honest, and everything a good cover should be.

[Lif3h0us3]

im giving your response a thumb up cause its right on the spot, and the lamer that gave it a thumb down, sod off, seriously, mcrkid is just being a critic and he has the right to do so, i totally agree with him.

[giraffesarereal]

"a lot of mistakes" isn't exactly constructive...he could have, say, given an example...

[bballktm]

You guys are amazing! Good job my loves!

[cherrysoda72]

@bballktm KATIE! i love you :) i cant believe this was two years ago. karaoke when i come home! <3

[cherrysoda83]
