So. I'm a music education major and direct an a cappella group. This is an incredible performance by my standards, and I don't use incredible lightly. Dynamic contrast is fantastic, and your crescendos and diminuendos are extremely well synced. Not to mention your matching vowels, timbre, expression, and balance.
Very well done.
In other words, what every Top 20 International caliber barbershop quartet, of either gender, does (and what those who haven't made it to the International contest stage strive for).
Not only that, but the resonance in their vibrato when they hit it on point is something magical
Oh my lord the girl on the bottom part, miss you have one of the best low ranges I have ever heard so much respect
She was great!
-_- i wish i could do that
Which one is she?
The one on the right.
Bass
Amanda (gray shirt) holding that last note for 14 seconds like it's nothing. (2:57)
Barbershop is known for long sustained notes. Some can hold notes for 40 seconds or longer.
Oh, I know. But she makes it look so effortless.
And I'd be impressed if it were 30...
you are the only one who nailed it; just try holding a note for 15 seconds like that; these girls are goosebumps baby
if you got a proper technic, you can handle it easily, there is a singing exercise precisely for doing that, for managing the air in your belly so you can sing long standing notes in a long period of time. you first exercise for sustaining 10 seconds., then 20 seconds and so on.
oKay but how is no one talking about that AMAZING BARITONE TAG AT THE END OH MY GOD I CANT STOP REPLAYING IT
You mean the one that’s FIFTEEN EFFIN’ SECONDS LONG?! Incredible. I highly recommend all of their material available. 👍🏻❤️
Yessss!!!
It's astonishing how good their tone quality is.
Too many amazing moments to comment on! (but I'll try.) Ali is sublime on lead the whole time (example around 1:13), the swipe everyone does on the word "fine" at 1:34 is magic, Katie Mac kicks things to the next level around 2:33, Katie G makes baritones everywhere proud at around 3:00, and Amanda's tenor post in the tag is perfect (and that's because she really knows how to sing higher than the other parts without overpowering the harmonics (a rare skill in women's barbershop). GQ is incredible. Period.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Seconded
Third-ed?
Basically
Amen
Nedipothead; wow 3 years ago and you still have summed up this clip in your three articulate words; because that's all I can ever say every time I watch this
If 2:29 doesn't give you goosebumps, I can't help you. Incredible, gals.
+Nathan Pralle Absolutely right!
It's an absolute clinic!
I'd say it's 1:38
The girl in the grey shirt held that high note at the very end for FIFTEEN SECONDS. Yes, I actually took the time to count, because that is SUPER impressive. I've been watching this video like three times a day ever since I saw it, this performance is literally perfect.
There are quartet champs who can post in excess of 30 seconds (Tony DeRosa, Tim Waurick, others). Tim has been known to post 50-ish seconds on occasion. Look up some Vocal Spectrum videos. Long posts on a tag are common in the barbershop world.
Allan Webb Yes but to us mere mortals just 15 seconds seems incredible.
Allan Webb that's not fair. Normal people can't breathe through their eyeballs like Tim does.
Especially the way she went into it O.O
The funny thing is, she’s also the one who appears to garner the least amount of attention too. So you pointing this out gave me a totally fresh perspective coming here watching this again about a decade later. Thanks!
I dig the bass girl
Ditto, she's so cute!
She’s awesome and she arranges some of their stuff. She’s the shit for sure.
Katie is so sweet! I met her :)
the bass is katie “mac” she is something else! they all are!
From 2:30-2:36...wish there could be a view counter for that segment, because I just watched it 1.8million times.
Chris; I think I have you beat; I've watched it at least 2 million times!
That's called a tag and she does it awesomely. My wife and her family got me into barbershop. It is terrific.
Check around in your area and see if there are any Sweet Adelines choruses close by. That's where groups like this start out. Choruses usually range in membership from a few dozen to a hundred or more. Members within a chorus usually form the quartets like this.
They always really come to life when they reach that bit, in other videos too 😍
Omg who else got chills throughout this whole song?!? So talented!!
I had this forwarded to one of the Turtles. He loved the girls performances.
What a fantastic female barber shop quartet! And they sang a great tune extremely well too!
Maravilhoso! Amei!
It might be the first time I don't regret opening a youtube video from Tumblr.
I've always loved barbershop, but I've never heard a female barbershop quartet before. Holy $#!T these girls ROCK!
This video never gets old. Do you hear me? It never. Gets. Old. ❤️
they made third place at the Sweet Adelines Internationals competition just two weeks ago! I'm crossing all my fingers that they get the gold next year!
Are they still the same 4? (There are other videos of four GQ girls singing this, but they are different girls.)
@@doughelms558 they are still the same 4, sometimes not all of them can make it to events, so they ask other Barbershop singers to sing with them, but when they compete, they are still always these 4 😊
@@paddy_black Thanks, Sabine.. I've just been listening to their quarterfinal shows and they're so good together. (It all started when their original video came up today on my fb Memories page and I had to repost it.. And from there felt compelled to keep listening. They harmonize so beautifully, I"m glad to hear they still sing together.)
The last 60 seconds or so are so powerful they just about always bring a tear to my eye. Not sure exactly why other than the power of music this well executed resonates with my soul.
THIS WAS SO LIT
I can't listen the final cadence/coda without having goosebumps and tearing my eyes. I've listen it million times from years ago, and always same.
Fabulous! I used to sing barbershop and am a sucker for a good 4-part harmony decades later. These young ladies are very talented. I hope they go for it and get the recognition they deserve.
uggggg #uggggg
the feels 😭😭😭
Jou kwak man!
Well.... fancy seeing you here.....
@@ericaisepic5695 uggggggg - you are a real Neanderthal.
@@markroush9120 right then. Bit rude but go off i guess my guy
I legit have watched this at least six times consecutively. Too good. Y’all ladies need to go get yourselves a record deal or something, you deserve it!
They've got three albums out on spotify, highly recommend all of them
I'm wondering what my facial expression would be if I would see this happening right in front of me... this is so unreal!! Fantastic in every single way :)
I was thinking the same thing Sunny, I would be going ballistic lol
I would love to hear this group recorded in a studio with good mics and acoustics. Stunningly good performance!
Chase Strom Under what name? I've searched for "Girl Quartet" Barbershopme and GQ.
Chase Strom Oops... just found it. Search for /album/ called GQ.
Their album is on iTunes, it's fantastic! I highly recommend it!
AWESOME! Representing women of barbershop here!!
I second that I haven't heard such an awesome blend from an SA quartet in a long time like this! Chills! I still am a male quartet fan but these girls are dang good!
These ladies sound wonderful!! And the group and arrangement is really balanced.
Holy crap! The tenors high notes on happy together!!! That was so attractive. The tag sounded great too!!!!
I think I am the reason why this video has 1.9 million views, i have watched it nonstop for about 6 months now :P
I must be to other 2.4 million. Those progression at 2:49 to the final cadence. OMFG.
No, no, I have to claim at least 100K... 2:35- makes me grin all around my face
It's the best video I've see on UA-cam in a long time.
@@suzieg8310 That physical hop they all do, love it!
I’ve gotta claim at least 1M.
This is one of the most famous videos on UA-cam. The girls are amazing. An immortal performance!
GET THESE LADIES ON TOUR
Nobbie pls no I would spend so much money
This is one of my favorite videos on the whole internet god they sound so good
Girls, I have listened to you sing this wonderful medley and played it for a few others too. I'd love to hear you do "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" some day! But in the meantime, please consider (if you haven't already) going to Children's Hospitals, Nursing Homes and anywhere where people need some hope, cheering, entertainment. You are just the sweetest, most lovely quartet of young women I've seen in ages. Please ignore the negative comments. Some people just can't help themselves, let it roll off your back. God bless each and every one of you sweethearts.
I've listened to these young women sing several times. I come back and listen every now and then to remind me of just how talented and powerful women can be with their voices. Shame on the envious non-talented morons who comment on anything but how inspiring and exciting these sweet ladies are.
HOLY MOLE!!! WOW, these girls are fantastic!!!
*All* of the upvotes for this. All of them. Seriously, this is amazing.
Tears in my eyes... this must be the 20th time I've listened to this video since yesterday and it moves me even more every single time. YOur arrangements are simply breathtaking, along with everything else. I totally enjoy this! Hope to hear yoou live one day, actually I hope you get to be so famous and successful that you get to visit even Macedonia on a world wide tour ;)
I got Tears in my eyes too many very few singer's have made me cry!
how can they sing every single tone so pure and clean? gosh i'm jealous.... you're awesome!!!!
This video almost literally gives me life
It made me sooo happy watching/listening to this, such a great example of a truly talented and amazingly well blended quartet. The dynamics were honestly some of the best I've ever heard. When I was a Junior and Senior in High School I was the Bass in a barbershop quartet called "three men and a tenor". We were pretty good and won 1st place in the music competition (all genres) at the Tulare County Fair in Central CA. However, I can honestly say these women would have smoked us!!!!!! And I think it's great that there are people out there within our younger generation keeping alive such a beautiful part of American Music History. I've also never had the opportunity to hear a womens barbershop quartet before though I have heard they're out there. So the fact the very first one I ever heard literally smoked 99% of all men's quartets I've heard is phenomenal!!
I've had a google account for about a year but this is the first post I've ever written, take it as a big compliment ladies. Job well done. I hope you all are still sharing your musical talent with the world. The way you four blend is like nothing I've ever heard. All four of you have a great gift, I hope you keep using it. I haven't sang in a group for over ten years and you helped me realize I need to get back into it again. Sorry for the length of my comment. Thank you for sharing this video and your talent. All the best of luck to you and your futures!
Barbershop music has always moved me.. these ladies move me to no end. Voices beautiful and ethereal and so very easy to listen to! I could listen to them endlessly. Excellent and glorious, GQ!
Finally!!! REAL VOCALISTS!!!! Thank you, ladies!!!!
Killed it! I want to hear some more!
Such a great bass!
Holy crap! This is fantastic! What a delivery....I'm 10 years late but I don't think it has been done better since. Bravo.
you should hear their performances now!! they've been placing in the Barbershop Harmony Society and Sweet Adelines International competitions and they've been KILLING it
@SA-oi8mx Oh I have. Since that comment I have checked out recent stuff. Still phenomenal!
FANTASTIC!!! Have not heard a "Sweet Adeline" quartet this good in a very long time!
AMAZING!
You gals really harmonize well - your performance brought a big smile to my face!
My goodness! Loved the ending!
2:30 gives me LIFE. It's just so powerful!!!!!
"all girl quartets can't exist"
SHUT DOWN
They do!!
The microphone wasn't able to handle the awesome.
I absolutely love these young women - their spirit, their voices and their love of their music!!
I was there at our Heart Of Carolina Chorus practice when these four girls from Maryland dropped by. What a pleasure to hear them first hand. Everything they sang for us that night was top quality. Their style is changing the face of women's a cappella. Wonderful singing from four sweetheart girls.
Gah, I'm so grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting them! They're all incredibly talented and personable. Amazing, really!
~ Butterflies, daises, and rainbows all the days of your life ~
Ahhhhhhhhh why can I only like this once??!!!
Ye;, after all this time, I still get goosebumps from this one…
One of the best performances I've ever seen or heard. Just beautiful.
THEY ARE SO TALENTED!!! Their personalities are also amazing.
Simply amazing! Clear sounds, enthusiasm, passion,... Fantastic!
Fantástico! Új project a staccatonak?
Elég nagy fába vágnánk a fejszénket... :)
How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
+Timothy O'Brien - Only haters.
***** You better not be talking to me.
+CreepleBossBoss - if you don't like the older music, that's fine. But they're so talented and have awards for it. By the way, spouting profanity when none is necessary speaks volumes about you. Just saying.
***** You need to up your meds.
+CreepleBossBoss you being a jerk sure changes everything.. if this is what you think of as fun life must be a real bore for you
I miss barbershop singing. So amazing! I hope you're still singing together after this pandemic calms down!
Absolutely amazing!!!!! Gave me chills the whole time!!!!!
Just wonderful! This made my heart happy. What great talent!
+ZyrxysVids Barbershop music has a way of doing that, doesn't it!
I would have had a crush on any/all of them when I was in college to be sure..
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS HAVE SUCH A GIFT! Praise God! Bless you!
Holy crap. When the key change hit, I practically jumped out of my seat with joy.
Good morning friends. I was sent this great Barbershop Quartet except it was a bit different . . . no guys! But hey I'm an instant fan.
Girl in the blue, I'm in love with you.
they are all wearing blue
Yarcofin
You are an ignorant tool.
Blue shirt, track shorts, fit, pipes of a greek god. Her, I'm in love with her.
I have to choose the leader on the end.
It's in my blood
GET IN LINE!!!! hahhahaha
awesome young ladies, they OWNED these songs!
Barbershop is so under rated. First time I have ever seen an all girls quartet. Awesome job guys.
This is crazy awesome. True talent. I only wish I could find a higher quality recording of this.
It's in the iTunes store. The album is called GQ.
Terin S Thanks for the info.
Their album >>> itunes.apple.com/us/album/gq/id717752001
Hey this is google territory :P
play.google.com/store/music/album/GQ_GQ?id=B7ut6c4v5prfft2n7f3xsaemcw4
It's five $5.50 cheaper on google....lol.
I know this is a 60's type song but I bet they would sound great doing 40's style girl group songs too (like the Andrews sisters)
Absolutely amazing!
Totally awesome!! You guys this was amazing!!!
LOL their dancings XD
Wow! Just....WOW!!! (The word "perfect" rarely pops in my mind in relation to human beings, lol, but for this performance, it is quite applicable!)
Damn. Brings a tear, it's so good.
Ladies, That was amazing! Thank you for keeping that awesome music alive!! I would pay to see you and I've been a musician for 33 years!!
Sweet...................Adeline!
“Excuse me, but how did you all find each other?” -Dwight Schrute
Not only awesome voices and blend, but what an arrangement! My world has been rocked.
Awesome medley!!!! It sounded much better than the original 60s hits.
Are you kidding me, they are all cute
I used to think that Ringmasters Notre Dame was it. The thing that spoiled all other barbershop.
I was wrong 😭
I can't believe how good this is. I've watched it every day since I stumbled upon it. I can't SLEEP because I'm so excited that this group exists
I didn't know music could be this good
GQ, if you ever see this, please come to NZ one day, I will be there front row, probably ugly crying
once you go down the rabbit hole of GQ videos, you'll never be the same. :) be sure to check out their performance on Garrison Keiller's Prairie Home Companion of You Are My Sunshine, their Ebb Tide video from the stairwell, their Water Fountain video with acapella godfather Deke Sharon, their ... oh heck, just watch everything, who am I kidding?!?
@@TerryTags I've hit Like on every video I can find, many of which don't show up in search results. Interviews and all sorts. Still unreal 😍
These Girls are awesome!!! different from most young people today!!!
That was absolutely breathtaking!!
the only poor thing is the quality of this video...
PLEASE do a HD version of it, i LOVE your skills!
Only angles could do it better!
Leon Dampf Go to settings and change the quality. 1080p is there.
Youvardy... Don't be so obtuse
2:30-2:39 GOOSEBUMPS!!!
Singing, doing it well, and having a blast doing it. Brilliant.
That was the most amazing, Thank you for sharing.
holy shit hat was freakin flawless ermgerdddddddd
I have a crush on them. Yes, all of them :D
I don't understand how anyone can not like the talent exhibited by Allie, Amanda, Katie G and Katie Mac. Awesome talent and music I love to love.
wonderful,love it. Thanks for posting
Honestly, I would pay to see the these young women. Look out Manhattan Transfer.
they sound almost like the Andrew sisters
+Hannah Nichols they did indeed...
+Hannah Nichols Three part harmony swing era singers are not quite the same as quartet that goes back to the 1890s! Both are good, but they are very different.
is that right...I don't see the difference except you add one harmony note.... and I sing harmony...
Fantastic! Loved it
This performance proves that it is a rare thing to hear people do something that makes my day start out great. Lovely voices, excellent song arrangement and the ladies clearly had a great time singing it. Wonderful, ladies. Simply wonderful.
