You forgot the words "for him" in the end of the sentence. Cause it really is difficult, not to him though. The guy has an incredible vocal range and can hold tags for really long time.
Haha y’all crack me up Tim is a human bag of unlimited air and range of voice. He could of held the note even longer but everyone else ran outta breath 😂😂..
Except Ramsus Kingström (I hope I spelt it right), who was challenged to a posting contest by Tim who died of shock after Ramsus held his for 52 seconds. Ramsus won because Tim didn't bother after that.
How I wish people could refrain themselves from applauding on the last chord. It must be pretty hard not to do it though, just watching this video had me jumping on my seat. Amazing
"As a human I enjoy vocalizing at many different frequencies in rapid succession with my human voice and also in combining my vocalizations in different harmonic permutations with the simultaneous vocalizations of several of my fellow humans." - Tim Waurick
Haha, 2:02 is exactly why Eric is a gold medalist and I will never be one-that is just a ridiculous re-entry. Oh, the rest of the performance was good too, if you're into "ringing chords."
They are one of the goat quartets. I got to meet them, and it was one of the best days of my life. I love how when Tim posts, that’s almost all you can hear, what a beast.
I saw VS live in MN. It was the first time I saw a medalist quartet. They opened with When I See an Elephant Fly. I actually let out a laugh on the last chord. For some reason, that was my emotional response. It was like nothing I had ever heard. I have listened to so much online and from the studio from a bunch of quartets, but nothing will compare to that moment.
If these guys went on a singing/talent competition (sing-off, america's got talent, what have you) they would clear the field easy. The world needs to see this level of our hobby. This is a secret way too good to keep!
I really can't stand when some audience members, and increasingly lately, clap during the final chord of an amazing arrangement like this. If there's one chord that you would definitely like to hear clearly, it's the final one, then everyone starts clapping the moment they detect it's the ending. Does anyone else find this annoying?
Happens not only in this, but in many many concerts I gave where you just have a little pause in a piece or a song, and the movement and cadence go somewhere else people start clapping and then realize it's not over smh
At 2:10 you can hear a fifth voice on their slide to that last chord. I can clearly find that the bass slides to a low C, bari slides to an A, lead slides to a D#, and tenor slides to an F. If you listen closely, on that last slide, there’s a pitch that slides to a middle C therefore making it five notes you’re hearing. Pretty amazing overtones
Can't stop watching this video! Vocal Spectrum are incredible! And Aaron Dale is a genius arranger. They're all having so much fun in this video. Brilliant stuff!
That was the incomparable Tim Waurick :) This video is awesome, but I was priviledged to be on the Smooth As Ice Alaskan cruise with these guys in July and the performance they did of this was out of this world!!
Hey man, if you dislike it, why say anything at all? Since you clearly have no frame of reference for understanding or appreciating what it takes to put together a difficult arrangement like this, spare yourself some dignity and leave commenting to those who actually enjoy the hobby. Thanks.
These guys are great. Who ever the guy is on the left is awesome. I wish I could get these guys to come and sing at the next revival at my church. Very cool song by the way.
First time hearing this, and after listening to the tag, I had to repeat it to see where Tim caught a breath...28 seconds...what a post! (ps...I knew he could compete with "The Lung", and no, I didn't think he caught a breath either..lol)
Tim, the tenor, held the last note for around 20-25 seconds, which sounds difficult, but because he was most likely anchoring and applying proper belting techniques the task was much simpler for him.
Is this like the Barbershop version of Chuck Norris jokes? HAHA!!! I wonder... Tim Waurick was once trapped underwater for 6 days without breathing and on the 7th day he rested. That lake is now known as Harmony Lake in Pennsylvania. Many barbershoppers still make the pilgrimage to the place where Harmony was born.
Litterly no one: Tim Waurick: FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@viesca91 In barbershop, the parts are bass, baritone, lead, and tenor. It is similar but not identical to a standard/classical setup, but the vocal ranges of each of the parts are different (vs. the operatic scale). Barbershop is all about creating a blend--a single, unison voice--and if any of them backed away from the mic it would detract from the sound of the quartet. Vocal Spectrum is also well known for featuring their baritone and tenor on melody lines, so those two often step forward.
@DKTHOMP93 Be there live and you'll realize that sometimes when a world class quartet locks up, and the hair on the back of your neck starts to tingle, you just start standing and clapping involuntarily...Can't really explain it better than that.....but I know what you mean.
the quality of sound that your camera is able to record is GOD TIER
It's fun to watch Tim Waurick pretend that it's difficult
You forgot the words "for him" in the end of the sentence. Cause it really is difficult, not to him though. The guy has an incredible vocal range and can hold tags for really long time.
Tim Waurick once won a chorus competition by himself. He scored a 96.3.
Some say he has a 3rd arm underneath his beard

@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 Actually that was Jakob (Both are awesome anyways) :)
@@airhead1118 Oops, you're right! And yeah, they're both great on lead and tenor, which is extremely impressive
I could literally watch this every day for the rest of my life and it would not get old.
Lol
One of the greatest quartets of ALL TIME
8 years later and absolutely still stands true (also kipp :)
1:23 that specific "shigidibop bop" makes shivers trail down my spine man...
Tim: *leans head forward, blinks a lot*
Me: Oh crap here we go...
How I wish people could refrain themselves from applauding on the last chord. It must be pretty hard not to do it though, just watching this video had me jumping on my seat. Amazing
Oh... My... Gosh....how did he not pass out from holding that last note for so long... EPIC AWESOMENESS!!!!!
Whenever Jonny gets a solo, he just makes the song SO MUCH better than it already is.
I noticed that Tim never blinks, maybe he is breathing through his eyes, that would explain a lot.
John Townsend He's definitely an alien.
It's like circular breathing for grownups
He only ever blinks at the beginning of a long note...several times it seems 2:23
@@benevans128 that's how he gathers air for the long notes...
I'm sorry but he blinked like 30 times during the post
Why is not Tim Waurick not a world famous tenor? He could sing Bach, Mozart, Schubert, broadway anything!

Where did he say this? Lol

Loved it all.... ringing chords and the whole shebang!!!

Eric is one of my favorite leads… just brilliant and I love how lightly he hits those high notes and doesn't overpower them

Yes, it's extremely annoying.

I'd have to say im guilty of this, I sometimes just get too excited and have to force myself to stop applauding. However, I agree it is annoying
It's actually totally disrespect. But nobody learns respect anymore.
I find it annoying. But that is not a recent tradition.
ERIC'S VOICE MAKES ME MELT INTO A PUDDLE OF HAPPINESS AND LOVE!!
How can you not listen to this and smile? Great singing and wonderful showmanship. These guys are amazing!
At 2:10 you can hear a fifth voice on their slide to that last chord. I can clearly find that the bass slides to a low C, bari slides to an A, lead slides to a D#, and tenor slides to an F.

Pretty amazing overtones
Oh my God amazing!!!! what a wonderful group! and the last maintained note!
I just watched this a ton of times and tried singing the tenor's last note, and I almost did it, but then I passed out almost.
No other quartet will ever do it this good. Done.
Can't stop watching this video! Vocal Spectrum are incredible! And Aaron Dale is a genius arranger. They're all having so much fun in this video. Brilliant stuff!
AWESOME!!! I love barbershop style music!
I didn't even see him breathe before the note
That ending tag made the hairs of my arms stand up! Looooooved it!
That was the incomparable Tim Waurick :) This video is awesome, but I was priviledged to be on the Smooth As Ice Alaskan cruise with these guys in July and the performance they did of this was out of this world!!
The whole performance was ear candy! But I have to say arrangement and message marry @2:30! That is what makes my life worth living.
Omg Tim kills it, Vocal Spectrum is my favorite shop!!!!! (:
Awesome harmonies!!
I didnt think a 30 sec note was humanly possible. I WAS WRONG. WOW!!!! Incredible!
すごい！聴いてて楽しくなるね！
Awesome job by this group! I saw the Dapper Dans perform this rendition live at Disneyland Anaheim
Love that it's actually Eric and not Tim who cuts of the last chord! Amazing live performance.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!
Wow - fantastic! Bravo!
*jaw drops* i love the old time classic sound instead of the pop crap you here all the time!
Hey man, if you dislike it, why say anything at all? Since you clearly have no frame of reference for understanding or appreciating what it takes to put together a difficult arrangement like this, spare yourself some dignity and leave commenting to those who actually enjoy the hobby. Thanks.
It doesn't get any better than this
OH MY GOD THEY ARE PERFECTION AT IT'S FINEST!!!!!!
These guys are great. Who ever the guy is on the left is awesome. I wish I could get these guys to come and sing at the next revival at my church. Very cool song by the way.
omg... He holded that note for so long!! That was epic!!
I think I have watched this video at least 25 times this week. haha Love it!
That note though, I would enjoy having the breath support Tim waurick has.
the end of this makes my face and lungs melt every single time. I die. how is this possible.
OH GOOD LORD! It might actually be the best tag ever! What a song! What a quartet! Thanks for posting! I literally can't wait for their new album now!
This is some strong piece of work
This is truly my favorite barbershop video on youtube.
Well done lads.
Thought the fella on the left would turn blue at the end !!!
Great job.
Liverpool UK.
Aquaman is so impressed by Tim Wauricks breath support that he now has a pair of Tim Waurick pajamas!!
Yes!!!! This is awesome
That was awesome!
First time hearing this, and after listening to the tag, I had to repeat it to see where Tim caught a breath...28 seconds...what a post! (ps...I knew he could compete with "The Lung", and no, I didn't think he caught a breath either..lol)
This is so good! Vocal Spectrum are the masters!
Amazing
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Tim Waurick! (oh yeah, and Vocal Spectrum too) Just kidding, all four of you are awesome!!!
I shat my pants when I heard that tag!!! Awesome, and epic to hear something "new", not the same old chord progressions.
i love these guys so much
this. group. is. HYPER-awesome!!!!!!!
You guys are great!!!
wooow !!! Tim really holds that last note!! Amazing no female barbershopper could come close to this, wish i could though haa
this is AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!
WHY CAN'T I STOP LISTENING TO THIS?
This is my favorite!!
Wow, they are having fun!
This is my new favorite thing in the world...
Awesome! ...and Tim... you blow, buddy! You're incredible! Thanks, =3!
I love the Illinois colors Lads!
Amazing!
thanx for your upload!
Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Sooooo cool! :)
Yea! Thank you SO much
I honestly love this so much. ^-^
Who is the genious that wrote this arrangement? Fantastic singers and a fantastic performance! My respect for you guys
Aaron Dale
One of my favorites. As a tenor myself, I aspire to a 25-second post. One day... *sigh*
Tim, the tenor, held the last note for around 20-25 seconds, which sounds difficult, but because he was most likely anchoring and applying proper belting techniques the task was much simpler for him.
Hot damn, the pipes on that guy
Super Timmy Waurick!
dang this is crazy clean...wonder what they would score in today's competition
Even though it's been 10 years since they won, I bet if Vocal Spectrum put a year's work into a contest set they could hit 95-96%
Tim's last note was sick!!,how did he hold the note that long?
Probably magic.
with a good technique, practice and genetics
20-25 seconds
Mark C Wobil He held that note so long that jesus was able to die, come back three days later and take his voice to heaven with him.. hot dayum.
+Raggydoll 01 He actually has a song where he holds a note more than twice as long as this song.
Is this like the Barbershop version of Chuck Norris jokes? HAHA!!! I wonder... Tim Waurick was once trapped underwater for 6 days without breathing and on the 7th day he rested. That lake is now known as Harmony Lake in Pennsylvania. Many barbershoppers still make the pilgrimage to the place where Harmony was born.
Oh my gosh lol
Awesome
That harmony tho😍

Five years removed from winning gold, and their sound only gets cleaner and tighter. GO VS!!

still tight as always
I really tried to do that long note with the guy but I could not I was able to do it until the other guys joined back in with him
I could feel myself getting whiter as I listened to this.
*****
I think you know
I'll tell you when you get older
*****
Exactly.
*****
okay
*****
will do!
Omg that last tone! o_o how the heck does he hold it for so long???
you can tell Tim would want to keep on going with that post!
@nwmusic06 also how amazing of a mic that's being used
Tim Waurick is crazy
@Esandcircle01 he's probably astounded by his own awesomeness. the rest of us are!
Well played, right in the pancakes...
@DKTHOMP93 Be there live and you'll realize that sometimes when a world class quartet locks up, and the hair on the back of your neck starts to tingle, you just start standing and clapping involuntarily...Can't really explain it better than that.....but I know what you mean.
