2 Cellos - Welcome to the Jungle

I wonder if our Sheep knows about this?!

[DonQuixote]

All in fun, dear Stjepan (but we would like to see the real thing)

Not to take anything away from our boys, but my older sister from Nova Scotia turned me on (no pun intended) to these boys today. Collabro and their audition for Britain's Got Talent:

I've seen this clip. Nice, clean cut, good looking guys with a ton of talent.
I'm checking out their semi-final and final videos now.

Finals Performance:

The Final Results from BGT 2014 - Who will win?

(Of course they did!)

There are more to post when I get through listening to them.

More pics to come, but Neil got me off topic and had two tabs open on 2Cellos thread.

Missed on in the competition, I think.

You seem quite taken by these boys,

 

[DonQuixote]

I thoroughly enjoyed their audition the day I listened to several. The young boys were amazingly good - heart wrenching in their audition, too - I hope they come back and do even better long term.

Then life got in the way and I didn't get back to listen to subsequent weeks.
I thought you wouldn't mind my posting more of their performances here, either.

^ Not at all. Saves me looking them up.

 

[DonQuixote]

That's sort of what I figured, too. I'm still listening to the LP - almost all the way through.
Unfortunately, whoever posted it (Might be You Tube account) inserted ads periodically - not between songs where it wouldn't much matter mind you, no, they inserted every so many minutes, in the middle of songs be damned.

Thank You! for bringing Collabro to my attention. I truly do enjoy what they do, and used to be involved in that type of singing WAY back in my younger years. Hearing it is nearly as fulfilling as taking part.

Keep Smilin'!!

They make it look, and sound, so easy and natural. Being able to do that takes a lot of practice, coordination, and time to develop.

I find myself wondering who, if anyone, is their musical director/conductor.

 

[DonQuixote]

if you're talking about Collabro - did you note that, while good friends, they'd only been together as a group for about a month before the auditions?

 

[DonQuixote]

And the name IS what I thought it was for!

Seems they (Collabro) were each pursuing choral work on their own before coming together to form their current group. Almost like Stepjan and Luka were competitors before pairing up to become "2 Cellos". A lot of work, and experience, before "suddenly" being "discovered".
