Instead of Broadway, you'll likely to see him in a doctor's office - he's a senior at Vandy and headed to med school to be a pediatrician. Can you believe it?
You lot did amazing. I literally was stunned hearing the bass of the chorus. Dan blew me away with the tone he put the song into, not to mention he's genuinely a good singer. Just stunning, all of you.
I actually bought this on iTunes because I was so excited to hear this over and over! I'm VP of my university's a cappella group and I gotta say I am so darn impressed! Way to go!
Thanks for taking about them, Fay! I hadn't seen theirs till now! It is/was so awesome! I love Pentatonix as a group but I never watched their season! Thanks once more!
I have watched this over and over and over and over. I can't get enough. So powerful. SO dramatic. SO beautiful musically. What an incredible performance on EVERYONE'S part! This performance won you the competition.
Gents, your version of this song is incredible. It has been haunting me since watching it on the show. I've listened to it each day. The only thing I can say negative about it is that it's only 90 seconds long. If you recorded the full version of the song, I'd buy it for sure. Rock on, Melodores!
I had to rewind my DVR & turn on the receiver to hear it through the stereo instead of the TV. Turned it up loud & just sat back & listened to you totally own that song. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Great job!
Goosebumps, indeed...right at 1:18 when they gathered into that tight formation you knew they were going to go all out. Just LOVE their bass ensemble! Dan will always have this talent to lean on if he ever wishes to explore it further. He did a helluva job belching out this one! And, of course, his brethren did a helluva job backing him up! :-)
TH-cam really needs to invent a LOVE button, because I cant express how much I love this video with a single like button. Dan KILLED it! And the rest of the guys were perfect as well. This is by far my favorite cover that they did and its perfect :D
Here it is a week later and I still get goosebumps watching & listening to this performance. DAN!!! I feel honored to have experienced this. Thank you & God bless.❤️
I remember watching this live. It gave me so much excitement I cried happy tears. Now I can watch it again and get that same feeling every single time!
I really never listened to the original song, but after this performance I did and I must say I've come back to this version 7 times. Wow it brings tears to my eyes each time I've listened.
This performance nearly made cry! I love seeing true talent. And it is beautiful to see the passion that this group has. It is truly amazing. I am now a huge Melodores fan. Please continue the great work and your fans will continue to support.
You deserved to win, both your songs Trumpets and Take me to Church were riveting to watch they pulled you in so you became engrossed in the performance and nothing else mattered for those few minutes. Great job and Congratulations!!
I got emotional watching this. The looks you guys gave each other at the end and the love shared blew me away and made me tear up! Thank you all so much for giving me the privilege of watching that.
This is an absolutely breathtaking performance! You nailed it and I would love to see the Melodores record this song in it's entirety. I can't get enough. Well done.
The first three seasons were much longer, with more groups competing. I forget the name of the first season winners (from Puerto Rico, maybe?), S2 was Pentatonix, S3 was Home after. S4 -this one in the video-was the last.
I can't stop watching your amazing performance over and over again! This is so emotional and powerful it is incredible and it shows how much talent all of you guys have!
my god , i used to listen to this cover on repeat 7 years ago !!! was just thinking about it today so i came back to listen and WOWWW ITS STILL SO PERFECT !!!!
This cover brought me to a place I've never been. The lyrics of this song is already very meaningful to me for personal reasons but Dan just delivered a performance beyond compare. Well-deserved win, I must say. Dan, you're living proof that "precious gifts come in small packages".
CHIIIIILLS! Every single time. I love this. Wish they would of ran the show longer. You Guys are just wonderful! 1:35, that moment was just priceless! I imagine how it must of felt hearing this live. Keep up the great work!
Been trying to find a cover even close to the feeling of the original... this one is the best I've heard by far. He gets that emotion out that a lot of the other covers are lacking.
I really really wish they had more than 2 performances because I'd love to see them as much as I got to see PTX or the Bubs. I adore this song and I think this is my favorite cover of it by far. So fantastic :D
These guys give me goosebumps from how incredibly amazing they are. And ppl think like... How can that awesome voice come from that cute lil dude? And i say... It was meant to be. Love you Melodores!
I hadn't followed this season, but I've seen these dudes' Bastille cover a year ago and was blown away! Congrats for getting so far and being the first college group to win!
I just listened to this song for the umpteenth time. But this last time was unique. I used head phones on. I was able to pick up every SINGLE harmonisation. What they did was just heavenly. I am better able to appreciate this song now that I have headphones. I have thanked God too for the first time in my life for the gift of hearing.
The melodores ...they are awesome,it's the first time I'm seeing them,these guys are so dam good,each and every one of you but dan did a wonderful job tonight,the deserve it...I'm sure they will do pretty good in the future I so love this video I look at it over n over I'm touched and was so impressed I can't ever stop looking at it.....all they best in the future u guys ....✌
The pure talent you guys have still amazes me every time I watch a video of your's. Glad you guys posted this too cause I have a bunch of friends that missed it! Sending them this way:) Congrats again guys!
Heard the original version of this song for the first time about a week ago. Have to say that I prefer the Melodores version much more, more soul to their version! LOVE IT!!!
So proud of Dan here, believe it or not, he is my older brothers friend from highschool, so i've come to know him fairly well. He absolutely killed it here. I remember one day when my brother had friends over playing some Rockband and he was killing "Are you gonna be my Girl". Great Job
This is easily the best "reality singing show" performance I've seen. Dan belongs on Broadway, serious.
Instead of Broadway, you'll likely to see him in a doctor's office - he's a senior at Vandy and headed to med school to be a pediatrician. Can you believe it?
Agree 100%
ShuffletownGirl Wow this guy is talented and wants to save people. Oh my heart
+Sophie N not people. Children :P
godwrote01 Children are little people too! But yeah it makes it so much cuter lol
After I saw this performance there was no doubt in my mind they were going to win. Easily the best performance of the entire special.
Damn. That was way better than the original.
Isn't it? It's like the song is more suited for this style.
I can watch this over and over again and still get shivers like I watched it for the first time. It's so...freaking good.
Dia Aid So true..
me too
Same!
I have not been able to find another cover where they gave this much raw emotion! I would love it if they could perform the whole song.
You lot did amazing. I literally was stunned hearing the bass of the chorus. Dan blew me away with the tone he put the song into, not to mention he's genuinely a good singer. Just stunning, all of you.
I actually bought this on iTunes because I was so excited to hear this over and over! I'm VP of my university's a cappella group and I gotta say I am so darn impressed! Way to go!
Got goosebumbs after this.. amazing!
I'm trying to find the song on iTunes but I can't! What name is it under ? x
livruby123 Melodores Take Me To Church :)
Wow!! That was amazing! It put me in mind of when Pentatonix sang Dog Days are Over.
Thanks for taking about them, Fay! I hadn't seen theirs till now! It is/was so awesome! I love Pentatonix as a group but I never watched their season!
Thanks once more!
You're welcome!
Reminded me of that and Love Lockdown. So intense.
I have watched this over and over and over and over.
I can't get enough.
So powerful. SO dramatic. SO beautiful musically.
What an incredible performance on EVERYONE'S part!
This performance won you the competition.
Gents, your version of this song is incredible. It has been haunting me since watching it on the show. I've listened to it each day. The only thing I can say negative about it is that it's only 90 seconds long. If you recorded the full version of the song, I'd buy it for sure. Rock on, Melodores!
Holy crap! Best performance I've seen on any singing show. Pure, raw, un-gimmicky... perfect!
I had to rewind my DVR & turn on the receiver to hear it through the stereo instead of the TV. Turned it up loud & just sat back & listened to you totally own that song. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Great job!
Goosebumps, indeed...right at 1:18 when they gathered into that tight formation you knew they were going to go all out. Just LOVE their bass ensemble! Dan will always have this talent to lean on if he ever wishes to explore it further. He did a helluva job belching out this one! And, of course, his brethren did a helluva job backing him up! :-)
There's only one bass in thier group.
That's the shocking part of it.
***** Thanks guys! :)
***** Is bass done by 'Kitten Boy'? I suspect him. Hahaha! His bass tho'! It is banging! Haha!
nothing can beat this song WTF watch it all over again yet i still get shiver damn,,
jeson dalagan I know it's been a year but listen to Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody.
Still so timeless! I've never forgotten this cover! Still get goosebumps!
This is by far the best song of the night. You guys totally deserve to win. So glad to finally see a collegiate group to win the show.
TH-cam really needs to invent a LOVE button, because I cant express how much I love this video with a single like button. Dan KILLED it! And the rest of the guys were perfect as well. This is by far my favorite cover that they did and its perfect :D
The tight harmonies into that upwards glissando at 1:18 was some seriously brilliant musical arrangement.
I can't stop watching this. Chills every freaking time.
Here it is a week later and I still get goosebumps watching & listening to this performance. DAN!!! I feel honored to have experienced this. Thank you & God bless.❤️
Hands down the best cover of Hozier's brilliant song.
I remember watching this live. It gave me so much excitement I cried happy tears. Now I can watch it again and get that same feeling every single time!
I really never listened to the original song, but after this performance I did and I must say I've come back to this version 7 times. Wow it brings tears to my eyes each time I've listened.
I accidentally stumbled upon this. Never heard of this group before. I assure you I will not soon forget them.....
GOOSEBUMPS! I'm in tears because my favorite college a cappella group singing one of my favorite songs by Hozier. SO HAPPY!
I still get goosebumps every time I watch this.
Again and again my son and I watch this performance. It just gets better and better.
This performance nearly made cry! I love seeing true talent. And it is beautiful to see the passion that this group has. It is truly amazing. I am now a huge Melodores fan. Please continue the great work and your fans will continue to support.
Years after years I keep coming back to this video to rewatch it
SAME! Lost count of how many times I have seen this! It still hits something inside EVERY TIME!
You deserved to win, both your songs Trumpets and Take me to Church were riveting to watch they pulled you in so you became engrossed in the performance and nothing else mattered for those few minutes. Great job and Congratulations!!
I will never not be amazed by this. Every time I watch it I am blown away.
I get goose bumps every single time I watch this! This is fantastic! Dan's voice is pure heaven!
That was insane. My whole house came to a standstill for that. Unreal. Great job Dan, moving man. Moving.
That performance still gives me chills. Amazing.
after about ten months, this is still my favourite thing to listen to. Truly amazing! I love you guys, you are all SO talented
When the basses come in, I get chills.
I got emotional watching this. The looks you guys gave each other at the end and the love shared blew me away and made me tear up! Thank you all so much for giving me the privilege of watching that.
This is an absolutely breathtaking performance! You nailed it and I would love to see the Melodores record this song in it's entirety. I can't get enough. Well done.
I was just saying that ater the 18th time i listened yo it
This makes me wish this show would last more than one episode. Seriously, two performances just ain't enough
The first three seasons were much longer, with more groups competing. I forget the name of the first season winners (from Puerto Rico, maybe?), S2 was Pentatonix, S3 was Home after. S4 -this one in the video-was the last.
This is disgustingly good every time. The growl, the passion, the heartache it’s just so beautiful.
Glad I'm not the only one to revisit this from time to time. That dude put everything he had into that performance.
Found this in my reccomend and it brought back good memories and wish they brought this show back 😭💚this still give me chills
There was so much emotion that I can't help but tear up. Once I saw this song done, I knew they would win.
Goose bumps. Every. Damn. Time.
This is the only performance of this year's Sing-Off special that grabbed me hard enough to want to continue to see it. Well done fellas.
I can't stop watching your amazing performance over and over again!
This is so emotional and powerful it is incredible and it shows how much talent all of you guys have!
my god , i used to listen to this cover on repeat 7 years ago !!! was just thinking about it today so i came back to listen and WOWWW ITS STILL SO PERFECT !!!!
i was trying to figure out how i found it back then or what got me to watch and then a wild patrick strump appeared 😭 that explains that
o my word, gooooosebumps, chickenbumps, alll bumps one can ever get
+Keorapetse Sebokolodi is this what you do at wits
This cover brought me to a place I've never been. The lyrics of this song is already very meaningful to me for personal reasons but Dan just delivered a performance beyond compare. Well-deserved win, I must say. Dan, you're living proof that "precious gifts come in small packages".
Just saying, kudos to James who apparently arranged this and a bunch of other songs for the group. Amazing!
They made this a SOUL SONG!!! They're singing with so much SOUL!!
Daaaamn. i got chills
By far the best cover of this song I've ever heard. You guys get it.
CHIIIIILLS! Every single time. I love this. Wish they would of ran the show longer. You Guys are just wonderful! 1:35, that moment was just priceless! I imagine how it must of felt hearing this live. Keep up the great work!
The best cover of this song, by far

Patrick looks absolutely gorgeous when he starts dancing after the bridge. The look on his face shows absolute beauty and passion.
This was so incredible - 2 years later and I still watch this and get goosebumps.
This is the best cover. And Dan you are my rolemodel. Being able to put that much heart in a song is just-gosh I am speechless!
Big Voice from that very awesome small guy! Fantastic!

And Dan is pretty freaking talented. Love the song, the arrangement, and the voice obviously
Been trying to find a cover even close to the feeling of the original... this one is the best I've heard by far. He gets that emotion out that a lot of the other covers are lacking.
I really really wish they had more than 2 performances because I'd love to see them as much as I got to see PTX or the Bubs. I adore this song and I think this is my favorite cover of it by far. So fantastic :D
