It's been a couple years since I've watched this, and it still gives me chills to this day! My favorite part is the final chord - bone-chillingly beautiful. I'll be honest, I love this more than the original! Not many people can pull that off. Very well done you all!!!
@BrittanyAndNicholas hahahah? what are you talking about people.... BSU is a great school and has a lot of honors. A lot of great people came from there as well.
Well, as stated above, they song is over 4 minutes long...and the contest they were in had a 4-minute limit, so part of the first verse was cut to make the time constraint. Glad you enjoyed it!
We didn't get music with three part harmony. We had the solo version and just listened to the recording enough to learn the other parts, with just a few changes.

good voices ... very soft rendition of the song, didn't really have any kind of edge. are you guys in high school, I'm assuming? keep singing - but get some edge to your voice if you're going to sing rock.
no, they are college students. this was done for a talent search during our homecoming last year. all are alumni of the Ball State University Singers, the collegiate "show choir."
Well, this comment is right, though. The musical is a rather edgy musical... they should have paid a little homage to the original. The great thing about this song is that it gets really hard and forceful and, yes very rock, so they should have tried that.... but it was still good, just lacking in the original spunk. go ahead rate this with a thumbs down, i don't care.
i thought so! well i really liked it. usually people on youtube suck horribly and i am forced to leave nasty comments ;) but i really really enjoyed this haha. the end chord is to die for! :)
haha and my last comment..i love the harmony that you guys did on the "although we know". thats not how its originally written, right? i loved it anyway. gorgeous.
haha, thanks for all the comments. the second half of the verse was cut out because of time constraints within the competition. and no, that's not how it's originally written...it's something that was added
WOW. You guys really did blow me away. Fantastic voices! Fantastic Blending.... The girl was fantastic! and jonathan, fantastic !! Just watch what you do with ad lib etc. changing notes...(you went higher before you needed to)... it has been written for a reason.. Otherwise. FANTASTIC !! Spine Tingling.
Yes it's been written one way, but when have you known a singer to stick to EXACTLY what was written, especially in Broadway music. They have that freedom to add things here and there. Look at printed sheet music as you listen to ANY musical. Something will be different.
why did he skip half the verse? Not cool! It should be sung the it was written..You cant fix PERFECT so dont try...other wise you all have great voices
He had to skip half the verse because of time. The song is over 4 minutes and the acts had to be under 4 minutes or they were disqualified. Believe me, I didn't like it that they had to cut it either; it's an AMAZING song. But thanks for the comment!

Although I have to ask why they cut some lyrics of the beginning...
