    favorite a capella arrangement ever! this is perfect!! <3

  10. If there songs are …
    If there songs are usually performed with a larger group, and they weren’t limiting themselves to graduates from the last 3 years, i don’t understand why they only went with 8 people (one of whom has gastro reflux disease)? I think most people would agree that only 3 women and 8 total in a coed group is a little thin. they might have been on key and had more power with 10-12

  11. i’m like honestly …

    Ah! I saw you guys at the finals in NYC! (I have a friend in Purple Haze) I’m serious, I went in expecting something suckish and boring…and came out loving a capella. You were AMAZING!

  16. Do a search for ” …
    Do a search for “The Sing Off Journey” here on YouTube — the video is titled “AWYWI/OA/DSB”. It’s the SoCals (the sub-group of SoCal VoCals members/alumni who competed on the Sing Off on NBC back in December). David Rakita (who was in the SoCal VoCals in this video) does a pretty cool guitar solo on “Don’t Stop Believin’”!

  17. to emphasize that …
    to emphasize that it’s not “vocals”, like the voices on a record. “VoCals” rhymes with “SoCal” — so it’s to emphasize the mispronounciation.

  18. If you’re mildly …
    If you’re mildly freaked out by how much this sounds like Glee…and the fact that they wore blue outfits like this on Glee…remember that this video was shot over a year before that Glee episode ever aired… :)

  19. wow!! it’s like …
    wow!! it’s like glee performance of somebody to love!!! and the colors are the same :/

  20. dan went to my high …
    dan went to my high school, he was a great singer then and now. if he hasn’t yet, he better audition for american idol. he would go very far.
