Stars - Your Ex-Lover is Dead (A cappella)

[TheDiopticTurtle]

It's nice to see a song this good being attempted. But, I think it missed by a bit.

[halo0o0o3]

OMFG the female lead singer is EXACTLY LIKE ME..... WTF? I HAVE A TWIN SISTER.

[BorderlineMiracle]

male lead is great but the rest falls flat

[Bigwhocares01]

Goddamn, match your vowel shapes please. Aww vs Ahh vs Ehh = death to my ears

[genecrawfordjr]

its a litle busy for me..but I like it

[molluskweddin]

The cello part at the beginning is wrong and the big pause at the end was really hammy, but otherwise I like it.

[TyMan1229]

Really didnt like the intro. Just doesnt sound right

[Sannier64]

The dancing in the beginning was brilliant... Awesome symbolism. And love both leads. Incredible job.

[Biogirl52]

This was great until like the "there's nothing left to say"... SOOO terrible.

[BoricuaDelight]

I think the background shoulda been a bit softer, it took away from the lead vocals.

[donalbaineshultz]

Spectacular. I'm impressed.

[ohxindy]

what is that guy doing at the side. T_T

[lavendarkittes]

The male lead is perfect. The female lead is good but she's lacking the airy sound that's kinda necessary for this song, lol. The background is sometimes way too loud, and it does sound a little funeral-y. D:

[gieankyle]

ugh! hate the female part. the guy's voice suits the song.

[branflakesl7302]

Things also sound a lot different from video cameras.

[KeybladeStar]

I'm not quite sure if I'm digging the back ground, it takes away from the main lyrics...

[Sahoyah]

A few moments of brilliance, a few rockier parts.  Overall I like it quite a bit!

[MaryamRsl]

this is like glee :) only its real :)

[josephine1234ny]

They make it seem happier than it really is. Its really weird.......

[marvin6df]

mmm i believed that is possible, but is needed another method...

[kleash]

sounds like the song being play in reverse...

[CatInTheCorner14]

I like this a lot more than the rest of the commenters seem to

[PunkiPandaGirl]

i think they could have been neater cause in some parts it just sounds messy for the background music. sometimes i could barely hear the solos because of the background music. the guy's voice is perfect, they could have picked a better voice for the girl.

[maybebear]

nice

[MyMichelle8]

Great concept! Not very well executed.

[lister1nePaz]

too slow and the arrangement's not very good for the block. this is not supposed to be a funeral dirge.

[kirklyboy]

The dancers in the beginning were doing a foxtrot; this song is in a fast three. fail.

[choirgirl1384]

The guy's voice is nice...that's about all.

[ohwowitslauren]

female lead if definitely falling flat

[Tuxter]

Terrible.

[bxbomb69]

nicely done

[samanthabug]

I like the male lead but I the female fell flat for me and a lot of the background pieces didn't sound as background as they should have.

[MrBrianIvan]

This gave me goosebumps!

[insideyourcooch]

THIS IS A MESS. anyone who disagrees is obviously a moron and completely tone deaf. GOOD lol i hate shit-heads who lie, you f-kin liars

[BowCaster238]

the lead male gave me chills!

[WoXiHuanJayChou]

agreed O_O

[skuzmuffinFM]

I both love and hate this simultaneously.

[xAngelWingsxx]

i couldn't agree more..

[KenzieHGibbons]

Very good. The background took away the lead vocals a bit but very pretty.

[artsitichick]

This was BAD!!! Heard it done better. all the add on were not necessary, definitely detracted from the original beauty of the song. K.I.S.S

[0oasheso0]

Great jobb. Absolutly great. I feel bad for the preson saying "ahh tick-ahhh" over and over tho. Lol.

[yougotcrad1]

@0oasheso0 That killed it, you can't hear all the parts at all.

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

I also think it's too polished for the feeling of the song. The male vocalist sounds excellently like Torquil Cambell though!

[jessiewollyyy]

goooosebumps (:

[AlarmedCrab]

That dancing woman needs to stop, well covered though.

[moncononight]

the beat boxer needs to stop

[Emmajen]

this is so lovely. <3 gave me chills.

the male soloist has a beautiful voice. <3

the female soloist needs to be softer i think...

altogether lovely though <33

[ben07zie]

is she saying mateekah??? i cant hear tooo well.. it'd prolly be good but the quality just sucks.

[dkeef24]

wow, that was tremendous. Luv and peace from Scotland,UK

[loljessicat]

This song is really lacking emotion, and the point of the song, I think.

It sounds beautiful, though.

[puppyslut22]

i agree it really needs emotion and feeling... this lacks both.. but yes sounds fantastic

[Baggycat95]

i agree, the guy does sound a whole lot like torq. i wasnt as fond of the female soloist, only because she kind of overpowered him. but nevertheless, this is a GREAT rendition of the song.

[scofield669]

WOW, this is amazing, what a nice cover, really touching.

[mayanaah]

major chills

[justj0sh1ng]

awesome cover

[Max1337]

Really good. Guy soloist DOES sound a lot like Torquil. Thanks for uploading.

[therearenoplacestogo]

this was fantastic

[midouespeon]

That was pretty cool.

[rosiebear23]

The guy singing actually sounds a bit like torq!

[zenforaday]

this rocks

[nikkilynch92]

you guys cover amazing songs, so much talent - i really love it. :)! thankyou so much for blessing my ears with this wonderful music.

[Stollhofen]

Awesome! Great harmonies.

[akFortySevn]

great. i really like the guy. except it sounds just like the actual song, his voice... idk if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

[fogpet]

despite the negitive comments, i thought it was really good

[TheFutureMrsLautner]

fricking amazing. wow that was so good. im a singer adn i know harmonies can be hard to keep. so amazing. !!

[zoeyroxy]

Haha this is so awesome!

its is such an amazing dong!

[froggies1416]

i liked it..a lot

[sleepingbeauty1022]

I don't like the girls voice

[DimebagHostile]

greeeeeeeeat!!

[CoverYourEarsClaire]

The girl main singer's voice is really nice. This video is interesting :)

[SinisterNights]

This isn't as bad as some of these comments are saying. I do think it is missing emotion. The whole thing seems kind of bland in that emotion, like they were just singing it. Also the balance seems kind of off, but that is probably just the recording. Not bad though! :]

[mizters]

ehh...If you want a better version, check out rak shalom's

[listentobrandnew]

good except for the guys singer's douche hand motions

[LovexKill]

lmao

[xsetyourselfonfire]

I really dont enjoy this.

But musically ect, it was wondeful.

I just really hate the way it sounds, considering your ex lover is dead is my favorite song.

[enzarto]

SO NEAT!

[pobgill]

Ruined a great song. This is truly pretencious rubbish!

I cant describe how bad this is

[katrinalol]

It's beautiful. Anyone who can't accept it as a wonderful tribute to Stars is a fool.

[UGMachine]

I think that the singers are great, but the recording quality is what made this video not as good as what it could've been. Thanks for the video anyways :)

[shilayli06]

If stars hates this there stupid and I would be extremely happy with anyone liking my song enough to do a full rendition of it.

I don't get why "Napoliam" meeting them a couple of times makes him the expert on what they like or dislike. That was a very rude and unnecessary comment.

This performance is sooo good. Sometimes the background was a tad strange but apart from that is was brilliant.

[cassoulet91]

Love you Guys !!

[5ystemError]

In my opinion, this was an extremely good rendition. The background was a bit weird sounding at times, but it was still amazing.

[toodrunktodream]

very nice!

[modeSeven]

Awesome.

[Napoliam]

I've met Stars a couple times. I promise you they would hate this, a lot.

[mcat319]

you know what would be nice?

you dying

[jbalsbaugh]

When someone puts something out there ... its' out there for critcism. I agree with the critique. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate the work. Part of the deal-y-o.

[MarksmanODST]

i love this song

just got it today and now i'm frikin addicted to it.

[haaynow]

Terrible.... on so many levels.

[GbalZZZ]

sorry dont think this is even close to spot on. the guy is flat and the girl is overdoing it. plus the beat is off and makes it hard to follow. wait a week and ill do the whole song on an accoustic...male and female parts, and will blow this away. i listen to this song constantly! know it front to back, but good effort guys. pretty rad, just not spot on.

[sunshiney99]

Whoops, I meant 3:26, not 3:16, at the end there.

[sunshiney99]

I absolutely love the two leads for this song (the male lead particularly has got the tone spot on). However, I don't really care for the background arrangement. Aside from two moments where the sound really coalesces and supports the lead singers (2:20-2:38 and 3:55-end), it just sounds disjointed (I particularly dislike the "Sorry, sorry" part that comes in at 3:16

[LAIRproductions]

That gave me chills. Excellent song choice.

[chelseapokaspots]

Oh my goodness.

This was so, brillant.

I want them to come to my school.

Or for my school to do this!

[racheltrenchard]

That was so cooool! I LOVE this song.

[bucephalon2]

Well done, wonderful kids!!! Thank you

[vomitonthestereo]

wow, this is amazing!

who chooses the songs? the songs you sing are great!

and just wow, i have no words to describe how good this is!

[cafesoluble]

:S pero que me estás contando?

[OMGmusictv]

i love soloists. but to tell you the truth, the arrangement freaks me out a bit. all of you guys are super talented though!

[lilpunkgrl105]

ow this was awsome <3

[asa411]

That was great... until someone was murdered at the end...

[traenenspur]

hahaha, you're right. that sound is hilarious!

[JeniJeni16]

really good..

the balance is off, but that could just be the location of the camera..?

[ernstwhere]

No words, this is so fantastic. I've loved Stars for years and this is amazing because I think Stars music was for anybody willing to listen. A High School performance situation. Well, profound.

[theperson717]

the first line of live through this was ok, the rest just gave me a headache

[mcrluv]

I LOVE THIS!

[NezuChan]

I would love to see Ageless Beauty done by this group.

[OHHsoINDIE]

wow this is one of the best a cappella versions of a song ever. i can't wait to get to college now and make my own indie a cappella arrangements. this is my favorite song of the moment, and you did a beautiful job with it :)

[fatalfemmie]

chicken skin! Nice!

[spiedluv]

this is awesome

[askysoblue]

I love when you guys get into the "live through this" part of the song, so beautiful.

Awesome job, this is so cool!

[dancray]

Really good but the chorus has got to learn to reign it in during the leads. Overall volume just keeps rising, drowning the leads out. Incredible voices and timing all around. The propblem is more conductor than the talent.

Great song. Great Job!

[dgioe]

Amazing! I loved it! I shoudl show this to my chior teacher, It's so good, it may be enough to convince her to do the song! That'd be awsome =D

[superduperbrookeface]

OMG. The leading male was AMAZING. :D

I love his voice. C:

I adore this song. You guys did an amazing job. :)

(not so crazy about the girl though. :0)

[Beachblondie587]

i absolutely love this song - I was afraid you might butcher it, but not at all. Well done! :)

[XxXUltraYaoiXxX]

This was so amazing! I really liked it, the voices were wonderful. 5/5

[ekimup]

Incredible. Brilliant.

[iloveaspr]

my cousin is in this group! great job!

[lapair]

Really really well done.

[sujhely]

I really liked both leads. The female lead didn't have enough flow, in my opinion. But great job. And the background singers were amazing. Wayyy better than Rak Shalom's version, by far. :]

[princessandgoblin]

lead male=amazing voice.

[Karasu76]

this was pretty good. and it definitely beat the crap out of rak shalom's. the lead male was so flat, that i couldn't even watch the whole thing

[biirth]

I really like the chorus, but not the leads so much. Still, a good job!

[juan4baez]

ups ups ups muy mal muy mal pero chistoso

[Eclipstar]

Woah, really interesting. The two leads had really good voices. It wasd a bit strange, but still good.

[freewarespice]

i find it very interesting and pretty well performed.. the guy in front has a great voice, very nice.

[truth3408]

this is terrible. i love stars and besides the chorus, this bothers me. anyone who wants to see a good acapella version of your ex-lover is dead should check out Rak Shalom's. It's slightly shorter than the actual song but beautifully done.

[pipiboudain]

rak shalom's ? r u fucking kidding me ? i just checked it out like u said, the rythm is ten times slower, the lead looks like he's drunk. the umass dynamics's version is the best for this song. Beautifully done... god i bet someone in rak shalom's chorus is your sister or something, otherwise you're deaf mate.

[ohdarcidarci]

No. Just.. no.

[hewhosayszonk]

This was, quite frankly, irritating, but it's possible that it was due to the recording quality. Honestly though, that is far too many people in chorus for 1 - 2 unamplified lead singers, and they drown out the vocals with their unsettling moaning.

[LITmusic]

This is actually pretty good.

My only issue with it is during the instrumental riffs between verses. Some parts are being emphasized more than others...

[womanwithabeard]

Makes me want to push my thumb through my ear into my skull. Not impressed. If I hadn't of fallen to sleep halfway through then maybe I could have prevented myself from being sick in my lap. As it happens, i'm forced to sit here, horribly confused, utterly smelly and oddly hungry. Thanks a lot, UMass Dynamics.

[cbc21492]

WAY TO BUTCHER AN AWESOME SONG, and this is coming from a vocalist and a fan of Stars.

honestly this is a terrible acapella group, soloists aren't terrible, but as a group you all really need to work on blending, and in the parts that would normally be instrumentals it should be much more staccato, it's sooo pitchy, and an alto is sticking out terribly.

good beatbox, unless there's a shaker in there... in which case... that's weak. and you added words that were never there choreography is lame

[truth3408]

check out Rak Shalom's version of the same song. It's beautifully done and well executed. Slightly shorter than the actual song, but pleasant nonetheless. I dont know why this video has so many views and Rak Shalom barely has any. They are excellent.

[sandhilldash]

that was atually really cool. how did you guys get the score for this?

[Shaunaubba]

pretty good

[painplay]

Are you all deaf? This really isn't that great.

[coaxanearwig]

nice idea, choreography... there's pitch problems in the chorus. good effort!

[diputssinodnarb]

not quite sure what u guys hear but i hear a butchery of a great song.......one word....BOO!

[NeFishy]

That was incredible! Great a cappella of a great song!

[comeonpelican]

I liked it! Wish I could've been there.

[TanerDurusu]

pretty cool

[casanova0102]

wtf!!??!

[denimjeans732]

tht was greatt =D

[huntingwabbits89]

Arrangement is unbalanced. You can't hear the main cello/bass melody when you need it, and the chord progression in the the chorus is thoroughly lost. Plus vocals are inaudible half the time. Do better.

[sixstringhero20]

didnt like the soloist very much, sounded like someone singing in their car

[Tina301290]

Woww that was sooooooo beautiful like I dont know how you did that but seriuously I loveeeeeee it!!!! Good job guys!!!!♥

[Tina301290]

Woww that was sooooooo beautiful like I dont know how you did that but seriuously I loveeeeeee it!!!! Good job guys!!!!♥

[Tina301290]

Woww that was sooooooo beautiful like I dont know how you did that but seriuously I loveeeeeee it!!!! Good job guys!!!!♥

[Twinieshipper]

What interesting choreography!

[auvergnecheek]

who arranged this for a capella choir?

[tibbyxxterror]

I love this(:

[GAYMENDANCING]

oh my GOD that was amazing! 5/5 *favs*

[JusWatchTheFireworks]

This is one of my favourite songs, but I really didn't dig it. Sorry.

[unagiboy45]

That was a horrible rendition of Stars's Your Ex-lover is Dead and has ruined the song for

me. [forever]

Thanks.

[KealyBird]

chilling...

[beachedwhalexo]

coolest video ever!?

[noah77275]

Absolutely beautiful.  Thank you.

[TakeMeToTheRiots]

This is the coolest thing I've ever heard!!

[Xxmusicxl0vexlifexX]

lmfao at the womaN at the end

[christinapaladino]

May I add that the male performer was perfect

[christinapaladino]

I've ALWAYS wanted to do this song at my school for a talented show. This is the most creative idea yet and I have to say it came out AMAZING. I'm not too fond of the girl however, but it's still good

[rocknro11]

Hey where did you get this arrangement?? did you guys do it yourself? I'd love to do this at my school. would you mind sending me the info by any chance?

[catewuzzhere]

you guys are amazing

this is one of my favorite songs ever

and you guys kicked ass on it

[vballman9696]

lmao at the woman who had an orgasm at the end great performance

[caitieebug]

haha yeah that freaked me out!
