[A Capella] Jackson Five - "Want You Back" - Performed by the Princeton Footnotes

This is from an old a capella concert in late 2005, early 2006.

For those unfamiliar with A Capella it is a style of music where every sound in the song is created by mouth or sometimes percussive tapping. It's pretty cool stuff.

This is the Princeton Footnotes (yes, THAT Princeton) singing "Want you Back"

My favorite number of the night.

even just the first chord makes me very happy....this is such a chirpy arrangement, I like it alot. Your own?

[kylejbritt]

the arrangement was done by the footnotes.

Whereas you are clearly a macho man who eats metal and beats his wife.

Since having a high voice clearly makes you homosexual. *eyeroll* But you'd be suprised. That guy was using a CRAZY falsetto... I bet his normal voice is really deep. Guys really have two separate voices they can use. Their falsetto (if trained properly) can be COMPLETELY different than their "real" voice. Not that it has anything to do with their sexuality, of course, just wanted to point that out.

i hate how adults try to sing like micheal jackson and they have to sound like a girl

[leoleoleo7859]

great witty arrangement - amazing that the group did it by ear. Love the harmonic clashes when ABC starts!

@savvyspirals lol people who dont sing normally dont even know the term falsetto

This is absolutely AWESOME! I've seen all the a capella versions and "Footnotes" has got it going on!

A real tribute to Michael, the song, and a capella singing.
