Billy Joel - Vienna (A CAPPELLA)

[Mugwump19]

The "drum track" is actually the guy on the far left with the bandana on his shoe. Great arrangement!

[Bazza929]

Why do audiences think it's ok to scream and whoop. Listen to the performance guys. Even if a cappella means unaccompanied and there is at the very least a drum track there, oh well good stuff anyway, just not strictly a cappella.

[CODSPECIALIST007]

@Bazza929 lol dude its called beatbox

[CODSPECIALIST007]

@Bazza929 if im not mistaken, its the guy on the far left doing the drum effects with his mouth

[milongadelrock87]

Tienen una voz muy linda todos! saludos desde argentina

[ketchuph8r]

This song is perfect for that lead singer's range.... really, really great! (minus the screaming audience... even though I'm glad they had lots of support!)

[Sleaz814]

all bitches yellin need slapped

[thecfm007]

the best minute 2:48!!!XD

[Poopaloo55]

What a beautiful voice the lead has...effortless...keep singing pal!

[Squadron555]

Really good job by the lead singer! Decent arrangement also, kindda plain and a little dull for acapella imo.

Too bad with the low sound (and video) quality.

[fingerskelly1]

Shockingly bad. *DISLIKE*

[TrinneLovesAll13]

35 people missed the like button, because of... er.. oh nevermind, you know what I mean.

This was great, I loved it (:

[jonasjacksonlove]

I love this song!! You guys did an amazing job!!!

[gryffsonofarthur]

This is an excellent Accapella rendition. The lead is awesome, sounds just like Billy joel.

[DrShmoogle]

Fantastic...



[wrogirl]

oo god, its amazing. Love you boys.

[SteveDave227]

I thought the screaming was part of the song...

[noble1582]

This rendition is amazing. Awesome then and cool now that we have a show like Glee to showcase this kind of music. His voice is fantastic. If only the audience would shut up and appreciate what they're doing. Rude!

[6deep6cuts6]

young billy joel?!

[aliyais1]

this is awesome! love the whole vide of it.(:

lead singer is rockin that song! & the other boys are hitting that harmony with style.

FAVORITE!(:

[isabellacarime345]

fantastic :)

[InfinityHeart]

Dammit, audiences should have learned by now that you're not supposed to clap, scream, and talk during a performance. -_-

[dancergirl28]

wow. impressive.

[twilight0sylum0forme]

It sounded great when I could hear you over the idiots in the audience

[fadead]

GREAT JOB!

[totos2frotos]

the audience needs to grow the fuck up!!

[zunkidoodle72]

scatting ?

[Silverwolf7022]

Great! Couldn't hear some of it because of the dopey skirts, but they sounded awesome.

[mandou2792]

I love it ! <3

[767900]

Especially given the circumstances, wonderful performance. I have enjoyed this vid several times. In a more general setting, a slightly slower beat would be appropriate (especially) for this particular song.

[leoniess15]

LOVE it. i enjoyed this so much!! i love how the solo guy sings 'vienna waits for you', a little different then billy but so nice:D

[bratt136]

WOW!!!!! great job!!!!!! :)

[jirofff]

Great !

[234kyo]

lol i love it! its soo good, and the lead sounds, just like billy!! once again i LOVE IT!!!!!!! its amazing, and will tht f#cking crowed SHUT UP!!!!!! they sond like crazzy fan girls, o thts cause thts wat they r, well keep up the good work :)

[ohsaree]

This is actually a really good a capella. the soloist sounds really similar to Billy Joel, only i wish i didnt hear the scatting...

[Tommy1977777]

whatever is being done at that High School needs to be duplicated in other High School's.

[mirandas123456]

I like his voice:)

[CurvyNirvy]

omg. this is one of my all time favorite songs. i'm SO in love right now.

how do you not know billy joel?

[KAIZERCZAR]

@bassnowbrdr How can you not be familiar with Billy Joel?!?!?

[smilerman62]

Ah, have been listening to this for a couple of years now and it still sounds as fresh as Billy himself. Well done guys.

[TheWorldIsMine0]

those audience need to SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!

[dominated211]

these guys are so cool!!! they did an awsome cover of this song

[tanyyful]

cantan muy bien wow !!!!

[MarkStr82Hell]

Amazing lead! Wow!

[andreinamarquina]

i liked it very much! hahah and I agree with ericanblahblahblah...

[sanoska206]

wow they are pretty damn good. and they audience are annoying

[yadiyadiyada31]

who's singing lead?

[HitEmUp96]

The guy in the white shirt and black pants all the way on the right is singing lead

[yugomimi]

wow! this is so cool!! i would love to see them live!

[erican1991]

audience needs to stfu

[CriterionCoIIection]

@erican1991 audience=you

[PaulMaccasBiggestFan]

that kid sounds just like billy joel! good job!

[xosanabananaox]

its supposed to be faster,..its acapella.. and its def the guy in the white shirt on the end. i thot it was the striped guy in the middle but its for sure the white shirt one and VERY good job!

[jewelia734]

My favourite A cappella song ever.

[engrish2006]

It seems a bit fast, losing it's balladness. But I like the acapella version they pulled off. I love this song nevertheless. :)

[CB8Sport]

slow down you crazy child...way too fast. Otherwise very good

[Onwisconsin18]

Often, when you take an a cappella arrangement in the tempo of the original it sounds a lot dumber than it could.

[1376march]

they hit this one dead on, the lead singer sounds like billy joel. great cover.

[MELISSAINN]

I love this Version

[xflashahh]

you guys are so awesome it's kinda unreal. you've covered this, beirut, grizzly near and fleet foxes. i love finding people with the same obscure music tastes as myself

you're aweeeesssommmee

[pirategirl4ev]

At 2:17 you can tell that the one singing is the guy in the white shirt on the end.

[coldplayds]

bassnowbrdr WHO'S SINGING? its great

[videttod]

I'm pretty sure the guy singing is the one on the far right in the white sure. Scratch that I just saw, I'm positive its him.

[coldplayds]

yeah you're right! the guy in the striped shirt looks like he's singing though. but its the white shirt guy for sure. thanks

[SarahDale23]

The kid thats singing REALLY sounds like Mr. Joel himself! This is really great :)

[dancingchildren]

Is the guy in the yellow striped shirt 'Keith' who went on to sing with UC MEN Octect ?

[CatGirlMiMi3]

This, for some reason, gave me a sense of hope :] It's just... inspiring, you know? ^_^

[kristinnancy]

This is my favorite thing ever.

[mauronav1]

i agree... He's the best songwriter ever!!!! Hé's a poet, amazing, mi hero!!!

[SmilePleaseSir]

Wow! Very impressive. Sounds a lot like Billy, himself! :]

[JesterTBP]

Incorrect. The Red Head on the far right is the lead in this particular song.

He's an excellent singer.

[Caymonki]

Which one is singing? I can never figure that out.

[NineOhSix]

The one in the Yellow striped Polo is the singer

[promanik]

I'm sure that the man on the right

[TCTriangle]

The lead singer really does sound like Billy Joel.

[KapriciousBoo]

TRU DAT!

[OctoberAzrael]

I'm thinkin' it's the guy in the stripes. :P

[rhoadskid88]

esp. on "and take the phone off the hoook and disappear for a whiiiile"

[BrownEyedGlory]

I want to smack the stupid teenagers who thought their screaming was oh-so amusing.

The guys did a wonderful job, though, just a shame that they were treated like that. I wonder if they have been doing that the entire show...How did they not get kicked out?

[bassnowbrdr]

because it's a college show on a friday night... in a theater packed with their friends... with no authorities. this is the exact atmosphere the knights go for.

[echoeverlasting]

I was just going to write that. It's so fucking annoying.

Great job guys!

[Caymonki]

@BrownEyedGlory This wasn't done for Youtubes viewing pleasure, it was for a schools. Someone nice enough happened to bring it to the light of Youtube. The people screaming in the background are obliviously friends. If your friends cheered you on for what you did would you want them kicked out?

[RankAndFileGuy]

It would sound awesome if it weren't for unrespectful screamings. Shut the fuck up and listen to the damn performance.

[rebelsheep3]

the soloist has the most amazing voice ever.

this is amazing

[emusicross]

Sooo good! I love a capella, especially men's choirs. This song has a great message ^_^ Kudos to the soloist as well! Too bad there was so much screaming in the background :(

[Dontbustthecrust]

Gentlemen that was great. I hope you all got laid for that performance.

[Thataa1]

this is good

[AlyssaAlwaysTM]

they have to do Midnight Train To Georgia lol :}

[CitationVPilot]

I agree, great song, too bad the bi%#Yes ruined it and I turned it off early.

[Kicka93]

I love this song!

[GeorgiaGGdeLaine]

the backround screaming people really threw it off for me, and i lost interest. but they did really really great! ilove this!

[skylar0524]

you guys are awesome!!!!!

<3

[rivivala]

wow. geil

[kraziestylecrew]

them bitches fuked it for them..

[MusicIsLove55]

for real. they scared the shit out of me at first

[speckle126]

Mindblowingly talented

[wubbies95]

these guy's are amazing i absolutly love this song i've heard many ppl try and sing this and they just couldn't but u guy's were right on i didn't like one part but i have to admit yo guys'a are amazing hopefully you guy's do more.

[alanmercer23]

Great taste in music, lads! :) Can you give us another track from The Stranger? Heh heh.

[BeutiphulDisaztr]

Gave me goosebumps!

[ManiacMarauder01]

i wish the girls would shut up

[geveva18]

haha Same here.

[BaconBlimp]

me 2

[renatt]

why was this the last song sang by the group?

[NakedCreep]

Split apart? Common sense, bro.

[smilerman62]

Because that was the best ever song acappella ever sang and we could never improve on it!!!!!

[Thune]

Nice job.

[zuoricxzhyf]

they are really nice！！

[greatestgoalie25]

Awesome scat singing, great job boys. Nice to know that things have changed this much in 10 years where a guy singer isn't immediately ridiculed as I was in 1999-2000 until I gained respect because of how good a singer I became (at least my friends say so).

[Kanditoburrito]

wow...this rocks, i really love this song, billy joel rocks, but man you guys kicked it!!!!!!!!! awesome job and the lead rocks too!!!!!

[yuidaisy]

this is ammmazing!!!

[nehamujumdar]

great job!! i love the lead singer's voice!

[Tickle9313]

im in love with this boys voice

and i ♥♥♥ this song

verry well done :]

[mgold20]

woah, amazing voice

[Lockpeople]

I stumbled upon this video some time ago, and now my vocal group at high school needs some music ideas. I want to recommend this song, and my question is this. Is there a published version of Vienna for A Capella or did you arrange this yourself? If it's an official arrangement, where can I get it?

[smilerman62]

No, we done it on our own. Just make it up. it works if ur good enough.

[likeshowbiz]

they sound just like billy joel

[TrueSoreThumb]

INCREDIBLE. I love that 'wooo!' that's high at the end, too! These guys deserve the rip-roarin' applause. Seriously. I want a MP3 of this song >:S

[biscutieandoznic]

It sounds A LOT like Billy Joel.

Awesome.

[Fischeule]

Wahnsinn!

[bexay3]

[nikestud51389]

fucking great! and the lead was super good!

[haral374]

i absolutely love this group. just... amazing. awesome. i have a stupid grin on my face - that's how much i enjoy their stuff.

[WTFWJCD]

This is an amazing a capella.

[KtotheSallday]

[BethNoble]

interesting arrangement. the soloist in this song sounds a lot like billy joel at some points! sounds great. great job. :)

[Putzy91]

Who are they??

[jaylynn44]

Incredible

[queenmab87]

Absolutely fabulous!

[clooneygirl07]

[HIMkidHIM]

I love this interpretation.

[flashbakx]

read the comments bassnowbrdr tells you that

[flashbakx]

The guy in the black pants on the far right is singing

[AdriannaBanana123]

Is the one in the striped shirt near the middle singing?

[GhettoRehabTV]

Awesome !!!!!!

[Celestino51]

I think these kids do a great job with this song...

Thanx....

[NaeveAndCharlie]

[cheerios456c]

this kids voice makes me swoon =]

[cheerios456c]

Oh man. AMAZING! I LOVE this song! <3 thanks

[rena5rena]

very cool. i like it!!!

[Kileysmith06]

Amazing! He sounds so much like Billy Joel in his younger years!!! I hope this guy is still using his gift today..

[retardedhorse94]

really good

[tranjilover]

GO CARLETON!

[daisyduck81]

I think the guy with the plaid shorts is not singing, he is the one who does the beat box.

[Caymonki]

Obvious statement is Obvious.

[Dancinggirl72000]

rrly??? i thought it was either the one with the plaid shorts on the end or the blond one hmmm they should put the soloist in the middle..whatev GREAT JOBBBB =DD

[Dancinggirl72000]

which one is it???

[roxi0717]

i just love it!!!! they sound awesome !

[frankmarqui]

im sure billy is proud great job fellas

[vballqb10]

omg you're amazing

[pkingsleyisback]

a little fast but really good stuff

[kingers36]

EXCELENT!!!

[lukham123]

What a great version! Can't believe that its the guy at the corner and not the tall lanky blond who's singing!

[megaroni101]

omgosh...i totally thought that it was the tall blonde kid too...lol..

[jessica8888]

Wow, I never realized that! Hahaha, I also thought it was the blonde! His body language makes it look like he's the one singing, lol

[nativesun]

are you sure? I totally thought it was the tall, gesticulating blonde kid!

[219Dave]

I always thought it was the kid in the plaid shorts all the way to the left!

[sgh2b]

What an awesome voice on lead... great energy! :)

[flashbakx]

fucking awesome voice , well done mate!

[xeractus]

You should do the Ultravox song Vienna, that'd sound good a capella too (i've got a vid of it on my channel, if you don't know it). Your versions of harder, better, faster, stronger and feel god inc. on your myspace are top notch. :D

[caitlinhags12345]

I was looking for the Billy Joel version, but this is better. Good job, kids. Fine performance indeed.

[e1462]

blasphemy

[mcrloveandhate92]

lol the scatting

[thundercat0204]

seriously, i watch this video religiously everyday ever since i found it, the lead singer's voice is so sexy. i want this on my ipod!!

[nativesun]

that's very easy to do. download the video (.flv) and then convert it to mp3. there are tons of freeware converter programs out there in addition to online ones. you can have this on your ipod in 2-3 mins max.

[yellowlittlestar]

who is the solist?

[rynnem]

who's singing the song?

the one in yellow?

[MariaDelalba]

Wao!!!! you are so great...

[Celestino51]

I would like these young talented men do a studio version of this song...

These young men are great!!!!

[Camcrazy530]

Very Professional!

[MarkStr82Hell]

The lead was VERY strong....Did he attempt to try-out for American Idol???

[l433cl433c]

everytime someone can sing good, ppl mention american idol. i dont know about most, but i find that their is much better talent out there other than that show. sure i watch it and like it, but it doesnt mean we should send ppl there who are already good.

[weysst]

nice.

[jessedaan]

this is good...

[54spiritedwill54]

this is sooo  awesome :P

[RdWrior]

those girls in the background are exceptionally disruptive.

[cheechee321]

agreed

[timm4y5]

yeh they ruin it a bit, but the performance is absolutely awesome :D:D:D good work lads

[DRCAnM]

no way.

[msiahpush]

That's very funny.  I agree with you.

[mile2smile]

this is a great song and they did a great job

[Mooootz]

amazing!

[emilios10]

its awsome
