This is the highest scoring ballad of all time and second highest song ever by a quartet. It beats Cuddle Up, beats Lucky old Sun and beats Dance with My Father. Only beaten by spider farm. Incredible
Josh Szolomayer and Tony De Rosa may be the best lead and baritone duo in decades, a Joe+Tony for a new generation. An absolute masterclass for the entire Society to learn from.
Not only is the performance great, the arrangement is so amazing. So many opportunities for musicality. Such a rich vocabulary of chords. And it all still sounds just like great barbershop.
Indeed! The cords are like combing your fingers through luxurious hair, twisting and turning, only to find that the movement of your fingers have exposed new harmony that you previously were unaware of... Just beautiful!
I was super invested the entire time watching this live, and I still get super invested now. This is so amazing to witness, it just sounds so flipping good
This is absolutely fantastic. They must have practiced to a high precision and it comes across in their performance. Thank you gentlemen for your diligence and your artistry. This is truly a great recording and I am glad to have come across it. Thank you.
Here I am again searching the barbershop community bests. I cannot stop being in awe throughout this performance. Just superb and sensational I wish I was there in person.

Beat my favorite "I'm Still Hurting" on the singing score by .1 too

this whole quartet is so well casted for each of the 4 parts! Each of bring something so incredible! ❤
agreed AND we also can't forget the bass/baritone match - their vowel agreement makes it seem like one person singing two notes!
Especially at 2:00!
Sets a new standard for barbershop ballads.
One of the top 3 tags of the contest for me! Special mention to Tony at 4:58 for proving why he’s one of the GOATs! 🔥
An absolute baritone masterclass. Just astonishing
I was there. It was breathtaking. It still is, and forever will be.

Absolutely fucking incredible.
Been waiting YEARS for Josh Szolomayer to find three voices that work so beautifully with his. One of the best leads ever!
Such beautiful singing it’s unreal! And that tag absolutely blew me away live, that lead is a one of the most talented singers in the society!
song of the contest 100%
Set a mood and captured my attention in a way I'll never forget
Oh my goodness! No wonder they got gold, holy cow! Every held chord gave me chills and made me shout "oh!"
absolutely incredible i have no words I crode
Sat with mouth open for the whole of "What Kind of Fool am I". Absolutely amazing.
I will never forget being there, hearing that devastating tag, and realizing they were gonna win that night.
I was super invested the entire time watching this live, and I still get super invested now. This is so amazing to witness, it just sounds so flipping good
This is the best lead I've ever heard
Absolutely ridiculous.. Tony is absolutely the GOAT

The emotion reminds me of the chiefs of staff singing what kind of fool am I.
Josh Szolomayer is one of the top three best leads ever
oh wow wow
Incredible talent, however, I still feel like instant classic ballads still hit differently.
No one does ballads like Instant Classic!!!
Ballad masters!
Barbershop!
😳😍🥰♥️
4:38
wow so pretty
Holly shit wtf
This will not be a popular comment, but it was a bit slow and clunky and The Chiefs of Staff did it better. That being said, Tony is still the GOAT.
Contrarian comments made for the sake of being contrarian are never popular.
