A Cappella songs DON'T HAVE TO BE the same as an original. This is the way, they can express their own style and creativity And THE FILHARMONIC did all that I expected of them. Congrats!
Actually, if the talent is there, they WON'T be the same, there's absolutely no point in covering a song, as a top level talent, WITHOUT bringing your own interpretation. I often find the covers are MUCH better than the originals, actually. I realize this is 5 yrs old, but just agreeing.
Yup, no question, give Elliot Robinson a listen if you like really smooth basses. Here's a good example, to my ear it doesn't get any smoother than this, and it's with 7th Ave Band, Chris Rupps (Home Free founding member) 'new' vocal group (and they definitely deserve more views, talent wise)...Bruno Mars Straight Up and Down, a Capella cover, Elliot and the lead here, are guests. Hope you enjoy: th-cam.com/video/e4pZDAMsv5Y/w-d-xo.html Look up their Uptown Funk cover if you want to see one of the other sides of them.
I married my wife to this song. I wish so so much that i had heard this version first. You guys make me cry each time i hear this. I got goosebumps too. So so SO amazing. My ultimate dream is to meet u guys and hear u sing live ❤️❤️❤️ much luv! X
The bass is weak dude I'm sorry but no I'm even wearing my turtle beach X12's with the bass boost cranked up and nothin to me I am a bass myself and I sing louder on my lowest note than filharmonics guy :/
I saw you guys on the late night show with James soo.... That's what brought me here and you guys got a new subscriber here;) Keep up with them amazing voices ❤️ You guys sound like angels all together
Yes!!! I love it! As a longtime fan of Boyz ll Men, I have not heard such beautiful harmony come from a group of guys in a long time. You all are super talented, as I am sure you must know. Keep working hard and stay humble and you will go very far.
Hands down, this is one of the BEST arrangements of this song I have ever heard. I almost forgot what ii-V's sounded like in Modern popular music. Great Job Guys!!
I think this is the best song they have. I love this rendition...love the bass!! The harmonies are so tight!! Never get tired of hearing them on this song.
Do More Songs like this ... Love the throwback sound to Groups like Boyz II Men, 112, and A Few Good Men ... Harmonies are so tight on this song ... AhMahZing
This song has absolutely lightened up my day... My heart flutters at the sound of your voices. You guys are absolutely brilliant. Don't know what i would do if i hadn't watched this video... You're amazing...
Love your music. I know this won't be understood easily by others but, listening your amazing harmony is as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring in deep forest....
you don't like crunchy chords? i personally love those kinds of harmonies. they transformed the original into a jazz masterpiece. the musical intonation is so overwhelming in this piece
Tell me... how can you dislike that clip??? These guys are so gorgeous!!! Tchnical, you can't do it better! The harmonies are amazing, you couldn't have more feeling in a song! And by the way... there is NO ,,right" way to sing a song. Thez certainly didn't want to copy john legend! they did it on their way and it became perfect, they did a great job. You dont have to listen if you really don't like it, but don't kick that kind of art with your feet!!! Seemingly your not able to value acapella music.
I see both points of view here. I love their harmonies, and I think they were beautifully done. However... This is a love song, right? "I give you all of me, you give me all of you..." and they're sitting around a table in front of a window, singing. The words and the visuals call for simplicity and restraint and emotion, while the harmonies are anything but simplistic. It creates a disconnect. At least for me. Like I said, I love these kinds of harmonies, but not necessarily in *every* song. If the song were about something sad, for example, these harmonies would be perfect. But this song isn't... is it? I can't even tell.
Katerine459 in my opinion there's not one way to enjoy this song. When I listen to the original by john legend, i have to think about my husband. He's my life, that makes me happy. When i listen to the version of the filharmonic, i think about my parents. I lost them very early and thats sad. But even then its a lovesong. I feel good, it reminds me how much we loved each other, and i still do. So it fits perfect, there's not only black and white. Lovesongs are made of emotions, and every person feels different

I haven't heard such an excellent bass for a while. I almost cried. It was that beautiful. All of It.
+ActuallyTanner Avi Kaplan is love
+Jael Zamora yasssss!!!
Don't forget about Tim Foust and Geoff Castelluci. They're all amazing.
With good headphones on a decently high volume. My brain hums with the voice of the gods.....
Honestly same tho~
The bass nailed it! It's perfectly sounds great. It matches to the emotions and souls of the song. Good job guys!
That bass solo was smoother than butter on a hot summer day.

Can't get enough of this cover. The best way to listen to this is with headphones. The harmonies take it to another place!!
Until now.. I am so amazed with this awesome rendition of John Legend - All of Me. Great great job Filharmonic 💙💙💙
Can't wait for your appearance on Pitch Perfect 2!
Ikr!
Same
This one is a headphone delight. The intricacies in the harmonies are incredible. Jazz theory played to the highest degree. Beautiful, powerful.
This is just freaking awesome, and creative, and well done in every way, shape, and form. ;.;
kyle your freaking awesome too ! :)

The Filharmonic Jules is so attractive my god
DPSTOH the bass is total goosebumps!!!
The bass is weak dude I'm sorry but no I'm even wearing my turtle beach X12's with the bass boost cranked up and nothin to me I am a bass myself and I sing louder on my lowest note than filharmonics guy :/
yeah well nice to know you're praising yourself
Wow. This gave me chills and I nearly cried. You guys are awesome. Greetings from Germany.
Gives me chills
They are the very definition of "pitch perfect". =)
+jan279 you're so right!
I couldnt count how many eargasms i had while listening to you guys.. thank you for your beautiful harmonies..
This is my favorite rendition of this song thus far!!!!
Only when covered by you guys does this song bring me to tears. So much love for you!
It's a mystery to me to me why you guys aren't bigger than you are, a lot of your covers are better than the originals IMHO. Bravissimo!
Their harmony is so tight, show casing how deep and complex their harmony is. I love their sound. Beautiful, just beautiful!
Those jazz chords at key points in the song took it to another level. And I agree, 2:23-2:35 was just divine.
this arrangement + execution x Filharmonic = PERFECTION
The dissonance chords really had me at HELLO! This was just awesome!
Their harmonies were really lack luster on the show soooo glad that their harmonies have gotten so much better since then. Strong work guys
I saw you guys on the late night show with James soo.... That's what brought me here and you guys got a new subscriber here;) Keep up with them amazing voices ❤️ You guys sound like angels all together
+ReBecky euv thank you for subscribing!!
+The Filharmonic no problem:)

This made me cry. It's just so beautiful.
Still the best cover of All of Me.

33 people can't sing
You know they are great because they each sound amazing on their own!
so hard not to feel the feels throughout the song.
I watch this every few weeks to remind myself that this arrangement happened. Chills every time.
I think, based on this video, that you guys would kill Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down". Just a thought :)
Filipino fucking power voices! OK. lol!
Definitely:)
Yes!!!!
Goosebumps! Ang galing! @TheFilharmonic YOU ARE REALLY A GIFT TO US ALL!

Love your music. I know this won't be understood easily by others but,
listening your amazing harmony is as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring in deep forest....
weird chords....not fitting for the song IMO
you don't like crunchy chords? i personally love those kinds of harmonies. they transformed the original into a jazz masterpiece. the musical intonation is so overwhelming in this piece
