    People who dislike them probably don't have the first clue about how much talent it truly takes to do a cappella and get the full sound they have, especially for an all men's group. They're INCREDIBLE.

  • @threenorns3
    @threenorns3 11 років тому +86

    what blows my mind is he sings so high without it sounding falsetto - it's a pure, clear note.

    This is a piece of artistic genius.

      +DaToyGamer And nothing short of it.
      It seems to be an unwritten rule that if you call yourself an a cappella group and you can't do Lion Sleeps, you're not a real a cappella group. But you REALLY have to have incredible musical chops to work "Hakuna Matata" and "Brown Eyed Girl" right into the middle of it, and bring it home without it sounding forced or gimmicky. These guys, simply put, are JUST THAT GOOD.

      Oh, come on, Trevor White. Brown Eyed-Girl is only the best boyfriend/girlfriend song to hit the planet. And yes, these guys are really just that good.

    At any point, the urge to sing this song is just a whim away. A whim away, a whim away, a whim away...

    In an age where so many singers use filters and effects, it's so refreshing to hear a TRULY talented group of singers! I know the video is old, but I think the music is just as awesome today as it was then!

    THAT DUDE GETS FRICKEN SOPRANO!

    • @serban031
      @serban031 9 років тому +15

      Tenor. For males, it's tenor, especially since, vocally, it's extremely rare to reach the kind of notes sopranos can.

    • @LowReedExpert1
      @LowReedExpert1 9 років тому

      serban031 The voicing doesn't really matter in this case, the commenter was saying he sung that high, For example, if a tenor trombone plays a note thats in the soprano range, you could say it played as a soprano

    • @keilanbarber9307
      @keilanbarber9307 9 років тому

      serban031 i felt an similar way, sorry my english not so good!

    • @astraligious
      @astraligious 9 років тому

      Guys actually have a wider vocal range than females. In my choir, out of 10 guys, 3 can sing soprano well, and sing bass. That guy is definitely at the top and above the treble staff. I consider it soprano.

    • @CirqueDuFreak2000
      @CirqueDuFreak2000 9 років тому +6

      serban031 I think this range actually qualifies as countertenor.

  • @drgeorge1506
    @drgeorge1506 13 років тому +5

    The falsetto is flawless, the bits of humor- "don't worry, be happy"- priceless.

    NEVER, EVER gets tired of watching this video....It's amazing to see how far you guys have come in these last few years. Steve, Mike Itkoff, and Dan...we miss you! The music of Straight No Chaser is not just heard, it's felt!

  • @maryhiggins09
    @maryhiggins09 12 років тому +7

    I'm a 1st soprano in choir. Some of these guys can hit notes that take a decent effort for me to hit. Amazing. I want to see them live. :)

      I was shrieking my head off cause I'm a bass and its so high. Sounded like a dying hyena with a punctured lung.

    Aside from being funny on stage and having fun doing it, SNC is one of, if not THE best acapella group I've ever heard. Amazing voices, excellent coordination, and they are flawlessly on key the entire song.

    @adamsbja 13 років тому +6

    Man, I'm having flashbacks to high school, when my choir had a competition to see who could hit those notes without sounding horrid. I USED to be able to.
    Love your work guys, makes me wish I'd kept up group singing after 1996.
