IU's Straight No Chaser - Apologize

[bulldoza4u]

extremely good but once you hear committed's cover it's hard to compete!

[JayceeMitts]

Isn't it OneRepublic feat. Timbaland?

[EleanorRigby713]

They all look so YOUNG here!

[britt86961]

:)

[missphilly1980]

NOT ONLY CAN THE LEAD SINGER SING, BUT HE IS SOOOOO CUTE! YALL SOUND SO GREAT!

[superyoung41]

Lol that's not even SNC wow

[majikishify]

....this isnt straight no chaser.....wtf VOTE DOWN just for lying to me

[ambone1990]

@majikishify They are Straight No Chaser. They're an acapella group from Indiana University. They aren't the group signed by Sony but they are Straight No Chaser.

[mariwb]

It's too late to apologize!

[vdoggydogg17]

28 people need to Apologize

[xDeathKiss]

The transition from "ahh's" to "ooo's" in the beginning gives me chills. Such a rich sound, perfect balance. Also the final note is perfect. :) Love this.

[WithmanDella]

I meant they arent the original one. The original just got signed and is touring....

[SgtPoostix]

Not in tune..... eek!

[missrandom1996]

@SgtPoostix good, i'm not the only one who thought that

[SmokeDogg0]

wow i love it teh titals and the voices 

[MercyBoulevard]

You all have amazing voices, congrats on fantastic harmony!

The lead singer is heavenly in this song. Keep it up.

P.S. You can all pull off the button up shirts really well :P

[lillylilic]

pressed by default fookin fab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGlimzor]

love snc!

[DeezieBeatz]

"Straight No Chaser" Lol..

[WithmanDella]

Its not Straight No Chaser.......

[Kyli1234]

@WithmanDella What do you mean?

[Shishinohono]

FINALLY!! ive been lookin 4 a good vrsion of ths in good acapella!!

[11cucumbers]

@Shishinohono As much as I do love this group, Committed from the show The Sing Off owns the acapella version of this song. You should look them up. There are full episodes available at nbc.com

[guardgirlerin]

LOVE IT!!!!

[chanuteplaya]

so is this like the remade straight no chaser??

[jtal84]

@chanuteplaya Straight No Chaser started as Indiana University's all-male a cappella group--this is the current IU group (or the group as of 2008) which continued after the originals graduated and eventually got their recording deal.

[lilfishy416]

I'm seeing these guys in concert on October 16th!!!! SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! =D

[jillyj98]

Awesome job!

[joyride555]

26 people are obviously deaf XD

[counterpoint11]

No need to dis him - the lead singer is obviously very tired. They might want to think about putting this one a bit earlier in the programme next time - if they're still using it.

[wardlem2]

Wow! Each song of theirs I listen to gets worse and worse. They need lessons to be sure. Lead singer was breathy and flat most of the time. It didn't sound sexy or anything... it sounded dumb. The best part was the vocal percussion.

[knooooopf]

GREAT !!!!!

[alwaysyours33]

a little flat sometimes, but its a cappella, so its really good :)

[Kingrace1]

the singing guy seen like on of one republic



[hydrophobiax3x]

hey @evilcooldude78 dont call me a dumb fuck you dick. i was wrong i get it i realized that oh idk a fucking month ago when the other guy told me. i was talking about the group that got signed. so shut the fuck up.

[missrebekahelizabeth]

mmmh, lead singer is yummy(:

[lexuschik03]

You ppl don't know sh*t about a cappella....stfu. They did a fantastic job. Get a clue.

[BSuttonQuaid]

Lead vocals left something to be desired.

[Fradlima]

Show de bola....cantam muito!!!!!!!!!

[hydrophobiax3x]

Ahh. well the REAL group that got signed is so much better and cooler

[dominicansteel]

my fav is the lead singer but my other fav is the black gentle man he really shows how good he is in the video, where they were at the fast food place

[RoadToSuccess1]

OMGGGG this is awesome.. greatings from holland/turkey!! You are terrific!

[bananasplit8901]

oh my goodness!

[hydrophobiax3x]

thats not SNC!!!!!!!

[punknerd97]

@hydrophobiax3x yes it is, but not the group that was signed by atlantic records

[evilcooldude78]

@hydrophobiax3x ya it is you dumb fuck. the one ur thinking of is from the 1996-1998 choir

[SweetandSour951]

i just thought i'd let you know, I LOVE YOU. :)

[smallsam52]

The lead singing was hitting some sour notes, but then he cleaned it up :) Loved it!

[bummercucumber]

Love.

[atticusbryan]

saw them last year for a chior trip. they were amazing!

[sing2milo]

The lead singer is fan-freaking-tastic!!!

[alphaman87]

they sound like a second string middle school choir. i like their studio stuff.

[TheQueenofSarcasm09]

mr. jesse sir...you are very good :) you are very cute and can sing

[Tar1444]

nice i love these guys

[josgvis]

Fantastic!

[VelvetAngel107]

I love the guy doing the lead part's voice! Gives me chills! Awesome job... you guys are right on....I've become a fan. : )

[McEwan12341]

@VelvetAngel107 same here. They are amazing. I love how they mimic the beat correctly without using instruments so well it sounds like the actual beat. I love! I too am a fan.

[alainamartina]

woah, you mr lead singer are very great (;

hit me up sometime ;D

[Tennischick2207]

These guys are from the town/college I go to. Bloomington, IN. Pretty awesome. =)

[Alex999139]

AWESOME! Straight No Chaser is WIN.

[nightzodiac]

Sorry! Thumbs up, accidentally pressed thumbs down >_>

[qmusicisgoodforme]

@nightzodiac OWH NO YOU DIDN'T!!!! :O

[koldFREEZE29]

@nightzodiac

It's to late to apologize.

Sorry just had to make that joke

[5389655]

TAE NYU

[MRocqet]

Dear.. Jesse is it?

considering yourself tenor fab. and that you have a new number one fan.

[GreatMillsBuddy]

This is amazing i likedd itt

[penielseeker]

quite boring...

[cocokb123]

i saw them in concert

[26jhood]

this is wat im talking about i hope the get big cause i love their music

[southernthunder03]

umm the original guy who sings this is white dumbass

[shortstf17]

Hey dipsit, check this out!

Ryan Tedder is WHITE! Coincidentally also the lead singer of One Republic....how about you do a bit of research before posting your moronic opinion. You might look like less of an idiot!

Do any youtube search of "One Republic" and "Apologize". You'll then be able to SEE that Ryan Tedder is white. Holy hell.

[bigt4life]

so glad to know them.

[josgvis]

Very good! Check out the UNC Clefhanger's rendition, very well done too.

[aidend1993]

Stand by me at Hardee's tops this, I wish I watched it after watching this, skill points are still given, though, for skills.

[digidestined10]

i agree with aidend1993

[Eliz279009]

This is the best a capella version I have heard of this song.

so smooth...

love it!

[dominiquefeldheger]

way beter than Timberland

[awesomepossum36]

Awesome! I love me some a capella men's choir. =)

[cheezyburgery]

nice voice+gorgeous=OMG!

GOOD JOB!

[robbe8889]

great !

[ROXYFRANKFURT]

omg guy's u r awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[babieReiRei]

so im working on my own version of this not acapella though but i play the piano lol this is actually really good though i love you guys a lot your really good

[phototecglobal]

HaHa you say bad, but you have NO videos to show how it should be done, are you jealous and twisted, I think so!

[allmypetsandnumbers]

heh heh the lead is kinda nervous..... but have to agree cute... :D

[mosa1987]

OMG better that the original!!!

[ksaxchick]

the guy singing lead in this video is gorgeous :D

[michelsings]

that was ridiculous!

[sibtx0608]

I was introduced to SNC on youtube. They're way good!

[bigdadee22]

dat was tite good job hope u guys won....

[legendlegacy408]

They are fantastic! Wonderful blending and nice voice production ! But i don know if it is just me but at some parts the soloist is flat... making the chording a bit weird and off..

[Aschipupuck]

Just to say the TRUTH: OneRepublic created the song in the 90s, Timbaland JUST recreated it, he didn't write it!!!

[lilybianca]

how do you know that?

[ewaoboe]

guys, you're soooooooOOOOO GREAT!!

[AGbittybaby]

jesse is soooooo fine....sings like an angel

[vickiash1]

WOW!! They're better than Timbaland!

[SamuraiDarkness]

the only thing timbaland did in the original is make noice in the background a couple times.

[MasterGuitarsProTeam]

timbaland wrote the song

[SamuraiDarkness]

Still it shouldn't have been credited to him as the main artist. Like I understand he wrote it and thought they'd be the sound it needed but when artists usually have people write their songs the artist who perfomrs it is the one who gets the credit with a little sub part saying "Writen by: So and so"

[MasterGuitarsProTeam]

yea i see your point samura, but maybe that just how timbaland rolls ;)

[Masoonite]

Dont you mean OneRepublic?

Timbaland didnt exactly do this song lol

[robfromdublin]

Wow you guys are Good.

[Jillikinz]

I'd hit that. Just sayin'.

[chewedupcord]

straight up goosebumps when you guys sing. keep it up! :)

[luthongizon]

This was an incredible cover wow. Just awesome way to go guys! :)

[KoolKatKlub69]

looks like dane fife in the brown! lol

[BAkelly2715]

i don't about anybody else but i didn't think that the dude doing the solo did a very nice job, he sounded kinda...off if you ask me

[MJxx420]

on the music vid it says timbaland ft. one republic so the kid is right

[Grangernl1]

bullshit.. timba is the man!

[cantfindausernamedam]

This is NOT by Timbaland.. all he did was edit in the back of his head while he made grunting noises over the original One Republic video. He got called out over that too.

Nice song anyhow :)

[cqsallie]

I'm always heartened to read a post from someone who failed to buy into the prevalent blurbs.

Timbaland, no matter what type of genius is ascribed to him, didn't have much to do with this hit by One Republic. The song touched nerves - nerves that Timbaland couldn't hope to touch on his own....

[tluver45]

dude....how is this song NOT by timbaland??......yes its not actually them...but this song is there's

[SAIgirl91]

I agree that Timbaland didn't help the actual song in any way except by putting his name on it, along with one republic, but you gotta give him some credit for getting people to notice one republic.

[Xrome0sharpx]

theres two versions of it one where its just the piano by one republic and another by timberland cause he put his beat on it

[InToThEaIrWaVeS45678]

both verisions are still one republic.. the timbaland one is just a remix with a new beat added on.

[Aschipupuck]

NOOO!!!

Can't you hear it?

Timbaland produced the song with One Repuclic NEW!!!

They recorded it new, made a new instrumental trck and a new Musicvideo!!!

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THAT??? -.-

[josgvis]

Very nice. Unc Clefhangers have a really nice rendition too, little less static.

[phtrojan2011]

da best

[dudubrandao]

maaan, very nice...awsome

[Salimsful]

awesome!!

[rodtheamazing1]

wow correcting peoples grammar on youtube or anywhere on the internet for that matter has got to be the lamest thing ever. in my opinion.

if your sitting on the computer watching youtube videos your obviously bored and being lazy.

and if you cant comprehend what there "they're" trying to say to u then i guess you have problem u need to work out.

everyone get over it. ur not a fucking teacher so stop demeaning ppl if your so sophisticated. if your correcting then you no what theyre saying so stfu

[therealentourage]

for more of the soloist check out our Jason Mraz-Plane cover...

[oddalis]

me encantas niño.........I love your voice

[sizzpersk]

this is great, but check out rip_chord's version acapella. AMAZING!

[sizzpersk]

!!!!

[oscar857]

rmcohen1 is correct though :S

[hayneskid]

my choir got to open for this performance, it was amazing

[MadAbtDrumz]

AWESOOOOOOME \m/

[12amsFan23]

damn the solo black man let himself go...life hit him pretty hard huh..

[Theowk]

It's a different person to the other videos.

[Redbearxviii]

Actually its the other way around. This is him in April of 2008. He slimmed down for the Christmas CD, and looks pretty good now.

[rmcohen1]

No. The person in this video is Corey Frye. Jerome Collins is the member of Atlantic Record's Straight No Chaser.

[oscar857]

your just dumb

[Redbearxviii]

When insulting someone, especially over something so trivial as a youtube comment, try using correct grammar. "Your" is possessive, while "You're" implies a state of being. Now kindly get the fuck over yourself.

[IchGlockna]

stop bein a bitch

[jessstarr09]

Thank you so much for correcting their grammar! That always bugs me.

[Redbearxviii]

Ha. It is usually quite a bit easier to correct someone's grammar, than argue their points. Especially when they apparently don't understand how to work the "Reply" button.

[oscar857]

Well to be perfectly honest i have nothing to get over and you're a prick.

[EmmettxDazzlesxMe]

what is the guy's name that sings lead in this one?

[ryantlo]

look at the video info section

[Thorp1988]

I so went to this high school. Good job guys. Well done

[collegesis911]

this isn't a high school...this is Indiana university's group....

[Princessxristina92]

love u guys!!!!

ur the best!!!!

[millionhandbags]

Loved it!!

[kungfudoggie]

Wonderful. I wish all acapella groups would leave "OFF" to the one note that it was intended for. (This fad arose from that dang "idol" crap.) Great guys!

[chuckie32915]

Simply amazing. Can't stop listening to it

[echick123]

THIS IS VERY VERY GOOD! VERY WELL DONE.

[wannabuffalo]

they're so well coordinated! and that soloist boy could sing to me ANY day!

[tdaye09]

haha...

background hummers...

bahahahahahaha

[jablesjablesjables]

that's what she said

[KASskatephucker]

i wish that they had a little more soul into it. it was good, but it wasnt like "wow..."

[cymon86]

what is it with everyone thinking it's timbalands song? it's a one republic song that timbaland remixed.

Now for what matters, not a bad version here.

[pantalones2121]

One Republic's original version is way better than timbaland's.

[alien0312]

the beat was what gave that music the life... their singing was good tho

[vic3043105]

they r  awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[b23ezentricity]

Soloist, will you marry me? =))

[xLiie]

Awesome,! Keep up that good work,

I love it.!

xx

[crosscountrytc]

Apologize is actually by One Republic featuring Timbaland. Apologize was written and released an entire year before Timbaland decided to do stuff with it. Sorry, that's my rabid fandom coming out...

[chickathood07]

Love the arrangement!

[dmac35]

To the idiot that says this is either flat or sharp....It's extremely hard to sound this good on a stage in a auditorium. That would be why an artist song never sounds the same in concert. This sounds amazing.

[AndyBewls]

it sounds a bit off because there not doing exactly the same arrangement, so its bound to sound slightly off. But i prefer it to the original's arrgangement

[kingsflame]

hey, i went to that school, but not that year

[Yeahbuddy92]

Hmm. That's funny emmanuelhui because I have perfect perfect pitch too and he's exactly on. And I just performed this song the other day.

[emmanuelhui]

no offense to ANYONE.. but the lead is either SHARP or FLAT on "its too late to apologize" and its really disturbing. Never on pitch. I have perfect pitch so don't start crudding that I'm wrong. Everything else is very well done though.

[npokoj1410]

well if you are so perfect you would be able to tell if they were sharp or flat and not have to say both.

[Alexey0106]

What an idiot.. Face it, these ppl are amazing.. So shut it.

[churchmann35]

someone sounds jealous

[cmbrawler]

what ARE you talking about?????????????

[chaostrigg3r]

Make a video and prove it, prove that you're so "Perfect".

[mikers16]

it's funny, if you blend this video to the original, he has perfect pitch.

[DallyVampire69]

i loved it

[kiasersosa3]

Caught these young men on NBC this morning they are really something. I'm an old girl of 65 I will buy the CD.

[knallen06]

This is SNC new generation...the group you saw on NBC was the original, formed back in '96

[postcardlove]

beyond beautiful.
