And they're singing one of the most musical theatre style musicals with british accents because? It sounds horrendous.

@ninabean100 FIRST of all. Sorry about the slip up of the fingers. I hosted GCS twice and I know Mike Esser is the director. That was my bad. Sorry.

Secondly. I hosted GCS twice- meaning I love them. But what I said was true and I stick by it. Esser has always taught very open vowels, which can sound weird at times. So why don't you take things said on YouTube with a grain of salt and chill out.

Also... They won the following awards that year:

Best Vocals, Best Combo, Best Choreography, Best Soloist - not to mention 12 straight GRAND CHAMPION titles.

They're doing something right...

1) Most of you who are making comments about this competition show are being VERY judgmental. Are you accomplished musicians? Do you have music degrees? Have you directed high school show choir competitions? Or judged?Probably not. And if you haven't, then:

2) They're in a large venue and the acoustics change how the judges and audience hear them. However, the recording is directly what the mics are picking up, unmixed. The video is very different than the live performance.

@llcooljay1887 Mike Weaver is not the director - Mike Esser is. Have your facts right before you decide to post!

worst millie.

[llcooljay1887]

yah.... their director taught them weird vowels i think. i found this to be true not just in this song, but every song GCS did under mike weaver. sometimes it was VERY noticeable, other times it just allowed a free open tone to come out... but i agree. the vowels were a bit troubling and did make her sound like she had an accent.

Also, I have a video from their last performance.... a THOUSAND times better. the soloist and the entire song. just to let y'all know.

Sooo, why did all the people with out of tune, breathy voices get the loudest microphones?
