[ivyivygirl]

[fanofMe67]

scott <3

[memecomingatya]

1:41 - 1:51 was just so cool

[somethingorotherism]

Favorite face: 1:42

[undomesticgal]

damn, i got goosebumps throughout the whole video! :D

[Jansing15]

Is that Keith from Vocal Point singing @ 1:28? Sound like him.

[11792654]

haha 1:03 the walk of champions.

[11792654]

that bass in urban method has quite the range.

[dream24680]

Damn, they gotta sing and dance?! They do a great job doing both!

[TheJakeFTW]

How amazinger would it be if they did Thriller? xD

[AlBhedWonderGirl]

The ghostbusters parts was the best. I'm a major nightmare before xmas fan, and there was one part I didn't like. I just think that EVERYBODY knows ghostbusters! and they got EVERYBODY to work with it! It was amazing!

[yaznicole]

I do not know his name but the guy who goes "I am the one hiding under your stairs, fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair." is PERFECT for that part. His voice was awesome.

[DynamicMonotonously]

@yaznicole His name's Troy, from Urban Method. 

[Sakari99med]

it was only a second or two but when Scott and Amy's voices mixed it sounded awesome! I wanna hear them duet!

[Dominickp4]

U can so here avis voice!!

[kristenwig1980]

Love it!! I can't count how many times I have watched it! The best opening performance yet!!

[HoldenCarrell]

My favorite opening performace of all!

[robertlplee]

i feel so sorry for the sound mixer...

[101BandFreakOutATL]

All leads did fantastic!!!!!<33333

[101BandFreakOutATL]

Scott did an awesome job!! All groups really made the song come out and fun!!

[hotcocoacatey]

Amy's voice from 2:27-2:34 is impresive but what rocked was Clark's "I ain't afriad of no ghost!" with his huh! totally made that song

[hotcocoacatey]

From 1:44-2:01 the singing and dancing is AWESOME!!! Scott's voice was awesome!!!!

[Kaiune]

The groups they selected for this season brought a lot of Broadway stylized voices to the table.... AMAZING opening. 

[gomorill]

I love how they use soo many peoples strengths to make an awesome song and awesome video.These videos are my favorite of the series!

[Liza8264]

love it!



[Daydude1]

Awesome like a green chicken!!!!!

[junkb0x99]

Now THIS was fun! They clearly enjoyed themselves! (Also watch Ben, Sara, and Shawn during Ghostbusters!)

[carlotta4th]

That guy on 1:39 from... Urban Method, was it? He needs to sing solos more often. He was my favorite part of this opening number, but you rarely see the guy!

[famosamos424]

loved this!! especially "this is halloween" so good!!

[sgnorush]

@1:31 nice moves you blend in well... NOT!!!

[BeenFoundMissing]

I just noticed... Those cricket noises were impressive.

[kakuzu1233]

ghostbusters was awsome and this is halloween

[wildninja100]

I love Werewolves of London. 

[7gr1]

I thought that was a TERRIBLE arrangement of "Werewolves Of London"...you can't completely forget the iconic keyboard backing that made that song famous. When I'm sitting here watching and humming a part that needs to be added that isn't a good thing.

[tigeyluv8]

i think the delilah girls did a play off of black swan...where all of them are black swans except ingrid whose a white swan...idk just an idea

[nevertieme]

This opening gives me the chills. It's so good!

[Astroknot3]

The "Werewolves of London" part was so sexy.

[darkroselight]

Where is Avi in this mess??? I can find all of the other members of Pentatonix.

[dragonQueen0]

@darkroselight You too? I can hear him but not see him. I think he's up in the boxes but it's still like where Waldo

[TheSnuggleTurtle]

luv it

[darkroselight]

I ain't afraid of no ghost, hu!  'hair flip'

[singalongsong90]

that guy Troy from Urban Method had a deep voice sounded scariest :) lol

[Eventingirl96]

This was absolutely awesome. I am like... speechless

[gdamatov77]

These 7 groups probably form the greatest a capella group of all time when formed all together.

[gdamatov77]

Who else thinks that the groups that sang this did a much better job than the originals of each of the songs? I think the acappella version of these 3 songs were better than the originals

[Astroknot3]

@gdamatov77 Well if you're talking about the Marilyn Manson version of "This Is Halloween" then yes. The movie version is fabulous (can't beat Danny Elfman's character voices) but these guys kicked ass in this opening. Best opening of this season, hands down.

[hawknelsonbirdy]

By far, this is the best opening performance of the season

[gdamatov77]

@hawknelsonbirdy agreed

[BeenFoundMissing]

Also, anyone else nearly pee themselves when Scott and Michael sang right after each other?

[BeenFoundMissing]

I loved the Aires' fake mustaches. And Clark's "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!"

Actually, I loved it all.

[TheArmedMaster]

surprised they didnt do Thriller

[tmjdesigner]

That note at 2:26 and Clark's hair flip #epicwin

[gdamatov77]

I cant get over the transition they do from werewolves to Ghostbusters. It is just harmonius and smooth.

[moakey10]

Scott @ 1:07 <3

[Yorkington00]

lets see, Ghostbusters and some dudes dressed like the Blues Brothers, i think they should win

[betozorato]

Daaaaaaaamn!!! Go Amy! 2:25

[wbradley1372]

I like the fact that most groups weren't all dressed exactly the same. The costuming for this piece was seriously awesome.

And the choreo in the group numbers is getting more impressive as the season goes on! These are some seriously talented performers, here.

[gdamatov77]

@wbradley1372 omg i know. the choreography is insane.

[TangoffalsUTD]

Damn, look at Brendan with that voice. And I like how he's the only one without a fake mustache :D

[darkroselight]

Hey guys! This song's the best thing to ever hit the sing off stage, what can we do to take it one step farther...? I know!!!! 2:27 Let's let Amy wail! <3

[masquedev14]

Not to discredit all the basses in the competition, but why do I get the strong feeling that the distinct bass in "This Is Halloween" was mostly/only Avi from Pentatonix? Lol.

[FudForLife]

Why are a bunch of them wearing the same costume?

[dagathar]

@FudForLife that was for each group

[cougar33333]

@FudForLife so you know what they group they belong to they do it with every opening number except its they usually wear the same color

[theredm35]

When they transitioned to werewolves, I got chills.

[Shleo34]

I have listened to this 36364892927294 times!!!! It's sooooooooooo good!!!!! The BEST group performance EVER!!

[raymondjackso25]

Best Sing-Off Intro EVER!



[BradK28]

@raymondjackso25 Definitely. With Troy's "I am the one hiding under your stairs," Amy screaming her lungs out, Clark's "I ain't afraid of no ghost, HUH" and the cricket noise at the first transition (think that was from the UM beatboxer, not sure of his name, he did it in one of their songs though)  With the amount of people they had to choose from, they chose the perfect people for most of the parts that stood out, and it was just fun all throughout. Well done.

[bronzekitty26]

Ok, that dance at the end is really awesome and I was trying to do it. I thought it was so hard because I was trying to do it like Amy! It's actually not that hard, Amy's just freaking killing it!

[SuperDeshazier]

I love the dance at 2:41 ish that they do towards the end of the song :D it's sick!

[DukeUuito]

Favorite part was Clark's "I ain't afraid of no ghosts." Fell out of my chair laughing.

[wordsworth08]

My best guess for the thematic costuming for each group:

Urban Method: Werewolves

Vocal Point: Men in Black

Afro-Blue: 1920s flappers/tuxedos?

Dartmouth Aires: Skeletal moustachioed guys in motorbike jackets?

Pentatonix: Rocky Horror Picture Show

Delilah: Tim Burton-esque Gothic?

Yellowjackets: Ghostbusters

Anyone have any idea what the specific references for Afro-Blue, Dartmouth and Delilah would be?

[DukeUuito]

@wordsworth08

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Dartmouth is all Freddy Mercury impersonators with skeleton hands for the holiday. And Yellowjackets are starship troopers, not Ghostbusters. :/

[SubliminalEbb]

@wordsworth08 Afro is flappers/20's (Reference to their Jazz/Blues Style because Jazz was big in the 20's)

Vocal Point: I think are a reference to Elvis :D

Delilah: My guess is Gothic Lolita since they are all girls

And Dartmouth: Nascar? But Duke could be right.

[jdfspartan117]

How often does one person have both the top comments? lol i was in the other room when i heard this, i ran in screaming "YES YES YES YES"

[TangoffalsUTD]

Loved the Ghostbusters :D

[04211992April]

Clark+Mustache=Best

[bronzekitty26]

Wow, that was freaking awesome. Amy is amazing! She really freaked me out in the beginning O.o

[SpankyHotDog]

Ingrid <33333

[wildstyleracing]

what do you get when put the top 7 in the sing off together? one of the most badass accapella groups ever known to man

[nochmjv]

I love the judges!!! they are just enjoying the performance..singing and dancing to it... I like when Ben Folds say "Ghostbusters"..lols

[nochmjv]

liked and loved!!! good performance...nothing compares

[TheEnjayn]

That was scarry

[DukeUuito]

I get everything but, uhh.

Yellowjackets are Starship Troopers? I'm really sad they left now. :/

[Hyapin]

Also, anybody else notice the one girl is dressed like Columbia from Rocky Horror Picture Show?

[wbradley1372]

@Hyapin I *thought* that's who Kirstie (Pentatonix) was dressed like!

(Seems like a perfectly good waste of an opportunity to throw a RHPS song in there...)

[123babiesbreath]

@Hyapin love that you know her name(the character from Rocky Horror!

[Hyapin]

I freaked out when they sang This is Halloween. :D They did a really good job!

[webbec]

@Hyapin I loved it, brings back childhood memories!
