as a member of this group, i would like to thank ben folds for the opportunity to compete in the cd contest, and thank all of you for your constructive criticisms. we wish we could have been on the cd as well, and we really appreciate your support. hopefully this song will be on one of our own compilations in the near, near future. keep an eye out!
it's not until about 3 minutes that the lead singer starts exerting any effort into what she's doing. i know she's gotten some other very positive comments but i could barely hear her, and i'm thinking if she did that the whole song, maybe the could have won the competition
I agree that she wasn't loud enough, but I don't think it's because of a lack of effort. I'm glad she didn't try to belt out the whole thing, that would have been completely inappropriate for this song.
There was a trend with the groups that won, and it had nothing to do with soloist volume.
why was banncrofft's comment removed by the author, it seemed perfectly reasonable to me. I think like at 0:44, for example, the song is just inexcusably inaudible, and i'm only saying this because i bought the CD and I would have rather listened to this recording than the version of landed that was on the CD. the arrangement, the singing, the soloist, is all really good
You ALL did a great job, From all I've seen and heard I really thought you should have won. Great rendition of Landed. Looked like you were all enjoying yourselves. I especially liked the lead singer and was completely blown away by the ending cymbals. AWESOME !!!!
Also, I enjoyed the color coordination, you all looked good, front row were all very very pretty (back left, you too).
I would enjoy, and look forward to, hearing you again sometime.
Well done! It gave me chills!!

pretty good. but wish the solo wasn't covered so much. the pitch drops in a few places also which makes the chords go off a bit.

Apparently my comment was marked as spam? I don't remember removing it myself. I still stand by it.

seems like it's mix problems more than effort problems. it's low for her, and it doesn't punch through 'til it goes a little higher.
