      That's a D6, if I'm not mistaken. Fun fact: Jon Bon Jovi sings that note at the 4th minute of "I'll Be There For You". I feel a lot of respect towards people who can really nail that register.

    This is probably one of the most incredible things I have ever heard! I heard you perform this song live once and I couldn't believe I was listening to it live! It sounded like it was recorded in a studio! Your blend is incredible! You could beat Pentatonix any day

    • @Wizard__OW
      @Wizard__OW 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Any arranged group of skilled vocalists can beat Pentatonix, they're not that good, tbh.
      Here come the PTX fangirls.

    • @raingreene508
      @raingreene508 7 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      They are absolutely incredible, but let's take the fact that Pentatonix has only 5 people into consideration. This group has many, many more. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. Both are amazing.

    • @nikkiruiz3736
      @nikkiruiz3736 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      they are both on the same level. i love both

    • @tomspence1300
      @tomspence1300 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I am a ptx fan girl (see my username😂) but these guys are absolutely amazing, the bass is amazing and so is the soloist.
      But cmon, there are a whole load of these guys, there’s five of pentatonix.
      You can’t compare them, that’s like comparing an army to a group of mercenaries, they both get the job done, just in very different ways. The army (the nor’easters in this case) achieve a great sound with numbers, a mercenaries (ptx) achieve a sound with singing five parts but making sure that the parts are so tight that it sounds amazing, having strong as fuck melodies and choosing their songs carefully to suit their style . It’s impossible to compare the two. If pentatonix were to compete with these guys singing this song they would get beat because it’s not their style. But I bet if these guys tried to sing “Sing” or “aha!” they would get beat easily.
      Two different sounds, don’t compare them

    @tchudson75 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I've been here before
    But always hit the floor
    I've spent a lifetime running
    And I always get away
    But with you I'm feeling something
    That makes me want to stay
    I'm prepared for this
    I never shoot to miss
    But I feel like a storm is coming
    If I'm gonna make it through the day
    Then there's no more use in running
    This is something I gotta face
    If I risk it all
    Could you break my fall?
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating
    I want to feel love, run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    'Cause the writing's on the wall
    A million shards of glass
    That haunt me from my past
    As the stars begin to gather
    And the light begins to fade
    When all hope begins to shatter
    Know that I won't be afraid
    If I risk it all
    Could you break my fall?
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating
    I want to feel love, run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    'Cause the writing's on the wall
    The writing's on the wall
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating
    I want to feel love, run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    How do I live? How do I breathe?
    When you're not here I'm suffocating
    I want to feel love, run through my blood
    Tell me is this where I give it all up?
    For you I have to risk it all
    'Cause the writing's on the wall

    A huge thank you, to this amazing and well synchronised team. First up, this is a very difficult song, and as a listener, I am completely speechless.
    I had to rewind multifarious times in order to try and identify each and every vocal displaying a very unique formation in sound. This is real art, where there is no adulteration, and in pure naturalisation, have talents and gifts been well stewarded.
    Extremely honoured, not only in being able give this a listen again, but to share it, with those haven’t been fortunate enough to hear this, the first time.
    All the best.
