I like Mayer and his music. Unfortunately this is doo wop clip is not good. If you listen to some doo wop of the 60s and 70s, this is pretty mediocre. I still appreciate what Mayer is doing with music though.
@BaByLoV3trey6 well thats live music for you. im glad they did this. shows that live music is not dead. and yeah it was a little out of sync but at least its not autotuned or mastered out of its ass to the point where you cant even feel the soul.
@MrOffbeat01 thank you. who gives a shit if 4 dudes cant snap their fingers precisely on time. a street performance is always gonna be raw. ps i find it karmically ironic and reassuring that ur name is mr offbeat and ur defending someone for not rhythmically bein on time. that makes this twice as righteous, well played sir.
@Migstsukoleyts what the fuck kinda comment is that... It ain't even related to the vid or how good it is... what the... you deserve a slap and a thumbs down
@damnnANGELA He's at the barbershop...Hey Angie, you think he got that "DO" done before they did the song? There's a link of Mayer and his band on Jimmy Kimmel...they sound pretty tough!!
top geezah this mr mayor hawthorne knows about real music.. and how to treat n love it caress n smother it with melody ...and i only discovered him tonight... what a treat... lovin his version of " wish it would rain" and still checkin his other stuff.... muchos respect from rainy england.........
@louisbrains it's more of a doowop. That's when there's a lead singing the words and some background guys saying "oooh" and "do do" and the like. Barbershop quartets generally all sing words together.
i mean yeah not everyone's going to love all the same music... but gahd please give credit where it's due and listen to these ON POINT harmonies, and bringing back that old motown soul.
this is what you call fun. Soul Barbershop bitch.. what do you wanna see 5 pasty white guys with potbellys and fag top hats singing 'goodbye my baby' pssssh
As much as I love Hawthorne and his music, this particular piece... kinda sucks, man. The ensemble overpowers the melody, and the ensemble is really outta sync. And when you listen to his voice in general, he sounds like any ol' chap singing. I know this cat has love for the music, he has good tatse, he has this, he has that, but understand where I'm coming from: The voices weren't all that.
@!stNightingale that's because he's not really a singer. he even admits it when he's interviewed. he's a producer, DJ, and musician but said he never really planned on being a singer
Love it!!! Alot of us just stop dancing,til this guy came along!!! My favorite of his is I wish it would rain! Got somethin new to old school dace to again!
This is what I am motherfucking talking about. Bring the old shit back when they actually put effort into music, when they thought alike, worked alike, felt alike.
This is real music: Well, the original Doo-wop at that, but including this.
This is certainly doo-wap! But not even a smidgen of barbershop. Barbershop not only must include 30 percent dominant 7th chords, but all 4 singers must be singing the same words in sync(most of the time) and not backing a soloist with oos and ahs.The barbershop style is highly defined and can be studied more via the Barbershop Harmony Society's web site. Do a search.
JW,
Baritone, Flower City Express(quartet) and InnerLoop (contemporary a cappella)
The harmonies are what makes it barbershop. (look up "barbershop" on wiki) This Mayer video is more like Doo-wop (40's) which was a different style altogether because of the type of harmonies that are used
@UrbanCrunkMovement Well, if you notice when listening to the Mills Brothers, the chords there have a slight dissonance that makes it "ring". Also, the chord progressions are different between the two styles. Doo-wop also usually has a main singer, while the rest of the group "ooh's and aah's" and interjects periodically. Barbershop is usually made full by each part singing the words all together...compare the two videos I linked with this one. U can tell the difference
@UrbanCrunkMovement PS 500 characters is not enough to explain the types of harmonies. There's just too much to say. Peep the videos I linked and check out the two styles on wikipedia. You'll get a better understanding there than in a youtube comment.
@UrbanCrunkMovement Yeah. I know nothing about harmonies. I just have a B.A. in Music. I have spent 15 years of my life playing and studying music. You obviously don't know anything about harmonies if you can't even tell the difference between the original barbershoppers' harmonies and this video's JUST BY LISTENING. Do you know what a dominant 7th chord is? Did you know that this video's piece contains almost none? Could you tell that it was mostly major and minor triads? Didn't think so. ;)
@UrbanCrunkMovement If the song starts on an e minor chord, with the bass singing the root, that would put the song in the key of c major (or the relative minor, e). They spend a lot of time on cadences on g major, which implies the composer most likely was writing from a c major standpoint. They employ a iii(minor), IV(major), and V(major) repeated chord progression using all triads. Should I go on? If you don't understand that, 500 characters is not enough to teach you. Feel like a dick now?
@UrbanCrunkMovement Not what I described above. That was what was going on in this song. No 7th chords at all. Barbershop ALWAYS has that 7th chord harmony. That is what makes it barbershop. This song has little to no barbershop techniques...except, like I and many others have said, them standing in front of a barbershop.
@UrbanCrunkMovement Really? You're that offended that you have to be a dick? I didn't say the song was bad, I just said it was improperly named. If it doesn't matter to call it what it is or to understand what the differences of musical styles are and their influence on culture and society, then you must believe that music educators and musicians with degrees are wasting their time. What's the big deal if they are corrected, if they are incorrect? Why are you so butthurt about it?
@UrbanCrunkMovement And you say "Thanks for teaching me about music" and I, again, tell you to go on wikipedia or do some research on your own because I cannot teach you about music in 500 characters on a youtube comment. I am the one who told you that if you don't learn anything here, you will not learn anything at all unless you do some research on your own. Be a REAL student, and not just keep letting teachers spoon-feed you information. LEARN SOMETHING TODAY.
@UrbanCrunkMovement Good grief, you're an ignorant fool...Stop trying to be so tough and maybe try to be open to the fact that just because someone is famous or good at music it doesn't mean that they are incapable of being wrong. You OBVIOUSLY have no idea what barbershop truly is, otherwise you wouldn't be arguing with me. Grow up and learn something.
@UrbanCrunkMovement PS Take a look at @iloopbari's comment. I expect you to jump on his case as well, because he seems to be saying the same things I'm saying. Maybe there's something to our "pointless" mention of the ever so important dominant 7th chord. Ha! I can't wait to see how you respond....most likely something childish like your last responses...
@moronthannot I noticed you favorited a video of an old Jew supporting the 'human shield' excuse in Isreal. I suggest you go to top documentary films and learn about what's really going on over there.
@UrbanCrunkMovement Wrong forum for this, man. We're talking about barbershop. If you wanna talk Israel and Palestine, message me. Besides. You have no idea what I believe (or know for that matter) about what's going on over there just by a video I favorited. Maybe instead of assuming things, you should ask me, but not where we're talking about barbershop!
@UrbanCrunkMovement And, of course, by "TOP" documentaries you would be referring to the ones that support your views, right? I have learned in life to try to be more objective than my personal viewpoints. Just like this video. I totally love Mayer Hawthorn and totally dig the song they sang, but an objective view shows us that it just simply isn't always as the video is labeled.
@moronthannot no I mean the website top documentary films. What better to help you form objective viewpoints of a place than raw footage from there. If you believe the human shield thing you truly are a moron.
@UrbanCrunkMovement Do you read ANYTHING anyone posts, or do you just have super bad tunnel vision? IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS, PERSONAL MESSAGE ME. THIS IS NOT THE PROPER FORUM TO DISCUSS THIS TOPIC! And assuming I "believe" in anything without ASKING ME is more of a truly moronic action than ANYONE believing in ANYTHING.
@UrbanCrunkMovement It was mostly a "tongue-in-cheek" statement cuz they're calling it barbershop and they're standing in front of a barber shop...singing something akin to doo-wop. I think that most barbershop thing in this video is the actual shop behind them. Not that they suck or they are ignorant or anything negative. Just that it's not quite accurate.

I Felt That. It's Nice To See New Artist Keeping This LEGENDARY STYLE Alive. Oldies But Goodies Will Never Die! HillRebel That's All You Can Come Up With, So Immature. Learn About REAL MUSIC Punk. Keep It Up Mayer H. ;- ]))
Mayer Hawthorne makes great soul music.His album is unreal but he isn't the greatest live singer.I've seen him live here in Detroit and I must say I wasn't too impressed with his singing live.But nevertheless he makes great music and creates a good vibe that most singers/artists are lacking now a days.Keep it up Mayer.
@bbstenor419 yes it is, there are 4 guys, singing, in front of a barbershop, i dont know about you, but that seems like a barbershop quartet to me, and last time a checked quartet means 4 singers, look it up if you dont believe me
@xGreenHouseVidiosx just because they are in front of a barbershop doesn't make it a barbershop quartet you moron. Barbershop is a style of music not a certain location where music is performed. So next time get your facts straight before you go spewing your ignorance on subjects you thibk you have knowledge in.
I don't want to be a nitpicker, but this isn't barbershop music. It sounds nice, they're four singers who are harmonizing a capella and it is sung in front of a barbershop, but that doesn't make it barbershop :D
@cdphatty well barbershop is just one style of a capella singing. a capella simply means no instruments. Barbershop is a specific style of four-part close harmony. Other forms of a capella singing include doo wop and groups may feature beatbox or percussion, as in Rockapella, and could include any number of performers; there are always four in barbershop, and although there is a lead singer he sings along with the other parts rather than separately in a solo.

@UrbanCrunkMovement Wrong forum for this, man. We're talking about barbershop. If you wanna talk Israel and Palestine, message me. Besides. You have no idea what I believe (or know for that matter) about what's going on over there just by a video I favorited. Maybe instead of assuming things, you should ask me, but not where we're talking about barbershop!

@UrbanCrunkMovement And, of course, by "TOP" documentaries you would be referring to the ones that support your views, right? I have learned in life to try to be more objective than my personal viewpoints. Just like this video. I totally love Mayer Hawthorn and totally dig the song they sang, but an objective view shows us that it just simply isn't always as the video is labeled.

@moronthannot no I mean the website top documentary films. What better to help you form objective viewpoints of a place than raw footage from there. If you believe the human shield thing you truly are a moron.

@UrbanCrunkMovement Do you read ANYTHING anyone posts, or do you just have super bad tunnel vision? IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS, PERSONAL MESSAGE ME. THIS IS NOT THE PROPER FORUM TO DISCUSS THIS TOPIC! And assuming I "believe" in anything without ASKING ME is more of a truly moronic action than ANYONE believing in ANYTHING.

@UrbanCrunkMovement It was mostly a "tongue-in-cheek" statement cuz they're calling it barbershop and they're standing in front of a barber shop...singing something akin to doo-wop. I think that most barbershop thing in this video is the actual shop behind them. Not that they suck or they are ignorant or anything negative. Just that it's not quite accurate.

Mayer Hawthorne makes great soul music.His album is unreal but he isn't the greatest live singer.I've seen him live here in Detroit and I must say I wasn't too impressed with his singing live.But nevertheless he makes great music and creates a good vibe that most singers/artists are lacking now a days.Keep it up Mayer.

@bbstenor419 yes it is, there are 4 guys, singing, in front of a barbershop, i dont know about you, but that seems like a barbershop quartet to me, and last time a checked quartet means 4 singers, look it up if you dont believe me
xGreenHouseVidiosx 1 year ago
@xGreenHouseVidiosx just because they are in front of a barbershop doesn't make it a barbershop quartet you moron. Barbershop is a style of music not a certain location where music is performed. So next time get your facts straight before you go spewing your ignorance on subjects you thibk you have knowledge in.

I don't want to be a nitpicker, but this isn't barbershop music. It sounds nice, they're four singers who are harmonizing a capella and it is sung in front of a barbershop, but that doesn't make it barbershop :D
sgtsonny 1 year ago 2
whats the difference between a cappela and barbershop? just curious.
cdphatty 1 year ago
@cdphatty well barbershop is just one style of a capella singing. a capella simply means no instruments. Barbershop is a specific style of four-part close harmony. Other forms of a capella singing include doo wop and groups may feature beatbox or percussion, as in Rockapella, and could include any number of performers; there are always four in barbershop, and although there is a lead singer he sings along with the other parts rather than separately in a solo.
