can they seriously not clap on beat? the first few seconds were horrible. Luckily it got a little better...

[4wildhorses]

Umm ........ No

[cheeseypie100]

I believe that the background singers started fast which cause the lead singer to go faster which messed the whole song up, but other then that it was good.

Wrong song for female singers. They did their best though. Lead singer b gudluking. =3

I guess I'm just an old pharte, but it seems like they are in a big rush to get to the end of the song, and speeding up slightly as they progress. The lyrics seem to evoke a lullaby. Perhaps everyone is trying to race to catch up with everyone else? Perhaps a metronome, or a simple timing light will let future a capella groups settle in to a easy tempo right from the beginning. Clapping, seriously, should be avoided.

@joesphx19 Well must be the hand clapping...otherwise I think it is really good and fun.
