Couple things:

1) What is with the country twang? Not meant for this piece.

2) 1:18... hahaha!

3) The women make this rendition. I'm a bit disappointed with the men :(

1:00 - Mark Zuckerburg! hahaha :)

I've seen better versions of this song. It is a VERY difficult piece, and it was done resonably well, however the tone quality is very off. The men are too much in their head voice in the beginning, the descant near the end sounded strained and screechy, and there was too much sliding. This is just my opinion, but I think if some of those things were done differently, this would be a truly spectacular performance

@DanielleJordan the song is a gospel it's ment to have a little something in there it doesnt have to be perfect so the country twang kinda worked i think :)

@dommousai needs better tenors more likely

[ImJonesful]

Yes, I would say that it is not the fault of the choir in the case of the missing tenor parts and the mistaken blend of the men, but the positioning of the microphones. I can be sure that this was just excellent live!

My Highschool choir is doing this :3 we're still not sure bout that little soprano solo piece yet thoughh he's still deciding :)

[dommousai]

@randomfrends14 I bet u did, these guys weren`t so great

[dragonsword343]

Needs more Tenor 1 and then overall a better men blend; because I all I hear is some weird drunk voice; second, basses: "that morning..." that is your special moment!; third tenors: your solo: more energy and together- because when you get to that joshua fit the battle on the high F u do a good job- keep that energy
