    I have always thought that this quartet was in a league of their own. My mind boggles trying to take in all that they deliver with such heart, togetherness, musicality and love. So glad to be alive during the GQ era.

      @@TheZaganOstia, close. They were calling out the AIC, who up until that point had not voted to allow women champions into their association, and some of the members were actively, and very vocally, lobbying against it. (Their bylaws were full of the word "men" and these vocal members had made it clear that they wanted to remain men-only.)

      ​@@AnnieMac608 I hope it won't be long until we look back at these attitudes the same way we now look back on racial segregation and discrimination, it's shameful and a loss for the world of Barbershop that it there seems to still be this kind of gender exclusivity at the highest level. I'm very happy about BHS opening the contest doors to everyone and not going for a separate contest model that would fragment this community more. It's a great step forward and I hope that more will follow. :)

    THE ENDING OVERTONE. I love rewatching it concentrating on a different one of them each time. Their facial expressions and body language and changes in tone are just perfection because it's true authenticy with just the right amount of extra "show" vibes on top. Perfection for a pun-y song with some truth bombs dropped along the way. "Set the scene to ring, no strings, for everyone who loves to sing." Brava, GQ, brava!!! P.S. to the bass Katie Mac, we see you, girl, we see you.

    Everybody knows the most important part of the quartet is the legs!! Some quartets are deficient. But with GQ there can be no criticism! The tenor, bass, and lead are absolutely harmonious! And, of course, it should go without saying, all baritones have the right kind of legs for good harmony!! I love GQ! I'm always afraid they MIGHT win! Then we wouldn't get to see much of them after their year of reign!! Is there a solution to it?!! - Just kidding ladies. I've always loved your performances! I hope you keep singing forever!
