IMO GFT's superb musicianship was not properly acknowledged on SingOff last year. The pitching here is 100% accurate through a pretty serious set of changes with every chord voiced, blended and weighted to perfection; the time is rock-solid (it's SO difficult to to nail down this kind of slow-swing groove acapella) and the phrasing is exquisite. Their seemingly-effortless nonchalance helps to mask the truth - this is a brilliant ensemble giving a breathtaking display of top vocal jazz technique.
you really have to have to be musically educated to properly be able to appreciate the sophistication behind this piece. Definitely the most technically advanced group
I really appreciate the creativity, skill and finesse in this arrangement and how expertly it has been tailored to show off the group's skills and deliver in a short time-slot - it's perfect, surprising and original. Now that the hype of the show is over, it's interesting to see which perfomances will stand revisiting; and this is definitely one that repays repeated listening. I like it more (and find more to like in it) each time I hear it! I shall be returning to it for a long while yet....
WOW that scream at 1:42 was amazing! You go girl! I loved this group too not just because they are from Washington State but because they were just an overall unique group. The lead singer was definitely a cool guy haha and a cute one at that ;)
@OceanPeace3 Amen. The finals will be intergallactic. A competition like this one tends to bring out the very best music--all the groups will need the performances of their lives to stay alive.
Seeing this, I'm proud to be from Seattle

Sick. They've definitely got that Take 6 vibe going on like Shawn said in the first episode. No doubt about it.
