Mr. Blue Sky a capella

[tinhuviel]

I usually don't watch reality hoo-ha or competition crap. I had a mild interest in The Sing Off because it was an a capella singing competition and, singing a capella by myself and in bardic circles, I know how difficult it can be. What these folks do is so far beyond me, I just haven't the words. I saw this last night and was just stunned. Now it's your turn.

yep...saw that myself.
How is the weather there, cold?
The news my way says that NC will have snow by saturday.
We are getting about 12 inches by early friday evening.

Stay warm.
Blessings to you and Aunt Tudi

We're supposed to have sleet and snow as well, but I'll believe it when I see it. Have fun in the snow! Build me some snow men and then kill them. ;)

that sounds like some real fun...will do.
Is Aunt Tudi going to do the bubbles freeze this year?
Hope so, and hope you take pics.

That's a damned fine combination of both arrangement and singing. I wonder how much rehearsing they needed for that number.

I can't even imagine it.

If you haven't been watching the whole show, find the back episodes, It's -really- good.

I may have to catch some more on You Tube. That site is like crack. It's certainly gotten me into enough trouble this year.

someone posted all the clips from a previous episode and honestly, most of these groups would be good if they picked better arrangements. there are just some things the human voice cannot do, not matter how hard you try. and some stuff just doesnt sound good a capella.

that said, some of them are excellent and clearly they all know how to blend well in order to pull something like this off.

I'm partial to the Beelzebubs because the "leader" is obviously a Hobbbit and I want to bring him home and feed him pancakes. Shut up.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

It's the first time I saw it and you know I was hooked. How could I not be?

I cannot imagine the work they put into it. I wonder what Jeff Lynne thought of it.
