I love male choral groups.

OOH! That one was good, Doughboy! Sonically, and, well, it's hard to top a man in a tux.

Wait . . . that didn't sound right. Though the unintentional implication might be correct as well!

 

[Darkflower]

LOL! Clever You . . .

And I Think Freddy Would Be Proud With This Rendition

Hee hee!

Anyhoo, yes. I agree. Those guys perform with humor and skill. I love the beginning part, with the hands.

There's a lot you could criticize about this performance (too fast, and I don't like the "umbrella" chant at the beginning, etc.), but damn did they ever put their hearts into it, and they look great!

I love oldies! And these guys sound great:

Ohhhh my god. This one is that piece from the end of Schindler's List, I think. Amazing. Beautiful. Sends shivers down my spine:

I thought of learning Hebrew just so I could understand what they were saying, but then I realized I could look up the translation (yes, I'm a ditz sometimes).

P.S., Doughboy, where did you go? :-(

Straight No Chaser is one of my favourite a capella groups

Also King's Singers is amazing

_________, thank you! Both of those were wonderful additions to the thread.

I'd long heard of The King's Singers, but I didn't realize they were all men!

Haha yeah The King's Singers are pretty incredible! Especially that they've been consistently a group of only six members. Would love to hear them live.

A few weeks ago, Straight No Chaser actually had a concert in my city... Unfortunately I didn't have time to attend .

 

[Darkflower]

The King's Singers are shown every so often on the 24 hour ARTS channel - while I'm not a fan of that style, they're preferred to Chanticleer - major snoozefest.

Heh. Yeah, I tried just now to listen to some Chanticleer, and while the harmonies were impeccable, it was pretty much too clean.

"Snoozefest". lol

 

[Darkflower]

^^Okay, that was freaking hilarious!

Thanks for posting!

Surprised no one posted this one yet. UC Berkeley's group Noteworthy performing "Poker Face"

My roommate showed that to me the other day. We both thought it was great.
