That was not good...it was FANTASTIC! These guys have a great gift and should travel with Ben and open his shows. He always plucks talent like this from all over the country in support of music and the arts. Gotta love him for that, keeping it alive. And these kids just proved there's plenty more to pluck!! :o)
this is a very difficult song to cover a capella, given the crazy intricate chords, so yes, i agree that it does sound a bit empty, but great job nonetheless, I haven't heard a better a capella version so keep it up!
@mojacherox Dude, you seriously need to get that stick removed from your ass... OK, so I miscounted -- regardless, if you knew anything about music you'd know that most people hear treble more than bass tones anyway. The guys could be louder, true, but it doesn't help that the guys are mainly doing bass and percussion in this arrangement.
I love the looks on everyone's faces. If there is any choir director looking to show their choir or small ensemble the kinds of faces they should have for upbeat music, take a look at this, because the smiles on the faces are what keep you in it all the way!

@mojacherox Realistically, how many guys do you know who would join a Ben Folds acapella group... seriously.

@SlashRose The females are overpowering the males you tard... If you counted they're 6 boys, and six girls.
