No offense, but kill me now. My best friend listens to stuff like this all the time, and it drives me crazy. EVERY SINGLE THING he listens to is a remake. Over done and over produced, and over the top.

Makes me feel like I'm trapped in Glee prison.:rolleyes:

I really liked some of the choral work (esp on YMLF and NGBA) but [I]watching[I] their over-animated, Uber-positive, wonderbread faces was difficult!

I sang Bari and Tenor in a jazz octet. It's a lot harder than it looks. These guys are very good. Staying in tune is key. Not to mention their timing and transitions were flawless.

Great job!

Added note: Love how they roll credits to Don't Stop. That's so common. :p

Homer, would you prefer gun, knife, or poison? :xoxo:

Just kidding, but you set that up so beautifully I couldn’t resist LOL.

Ha! I’m all alone here. I’m all alone… I’m all alone…. close the window, calm the lights, and it will be all right…

Everybody loves you, Homer!

General Nicks doesn't seem to have the quantity of troops here now, that $he once did.

I don't know about that, but thanks.:xoxo:

Agreed. They are quite talented. But WATCHING them was a bit of a struggle. All that hamming (the guy), the top hat and “sexy” smirks from the Stevie singer….Egads

It's so much harder to ham it up vocally and not sound or appear cheesy in that genre. However, you have to go for it. I didn't watch it, I just listened while working. So maybe I SHOULDN'T ever watch it. :wavey::laugh:

You shouldn't watch it. Unless you're the ultimate Glee fan. Then it might be right up your alley.

Yes, I know that's a dated reference!

Glee, not your alley. :D:p:D

Watch it. I think you’re right: being hammy and making dramatic facial gestures may be part of the a cappella genre. I mean it’s hard to enunciate all those notes and get a clean sound without a lot of face movement. They do a really good job with the vocals. Post what you think.
