Just my opinion (which admitedly may not be worth much since I am not a musician), but it seems that Creep is a more difficult song to pull-off because of its melody and because of its almost disturbing sentiment. Let's Get It On and A Change is Gonna Come both have pretty straightforward melodies and pretty straightforward sentiments. Also, I am strictly talking about the lead vocal. It's hard to compare a small group to the larger groups.
Pentatonix - Let's Get It On (Shawn Stockman's reaction was proof enough for me) not to mention they won that entire season and you can see why. Dartmouth Aires - Shout.. not the best performance of all but for ME certainly better than this.. and don't get me wrong .. i LOVE this performance.
Man… you guys should really bump up your web presence. The Pentatonix are mainstream now. You were clearly the season two champions. I know Committed took the title, but as a fan of Committed, its only fair to say that you were the better group. Personally, I'd like to think that you all had some hand in that decision - like you opted for second place, if it meant that you could get assistance from the other teams in order to fill out your vision for "Fix You". Yo… I still can't listen to that performance without getting chills. That's like one of the greatest vocal performances in television history. If "the prize" is what you all sacrificed in order get the full cast to join in and fill out your performance, I say kudos to you. That is a testament to you as visionaries. We need to hear more from you brothers.
You never see a faithful interpretation of this song because no one that tries has the chops to do it. This guy does, and it's the best version I've heard since the original. I'm glad they stuck close. This was amazing.
The hardest part isn't where he's singing loudly, almost a wail (in a good way, he stays perfectly on pitch during that). The hardest part is where he switches from that to the almost whisper at the end.
It baffles the mind that a group this talented and a front man this amazing came in second place. Just goes to show how much talent they were up against.
I loved Street Corner Symphony and I definitely thought they should have won. They simply have it all talent, charisma and appeal. Jeremy Lister's voice is gorgeous he is the perfect front man. The entire group has amazing voices and they all have stage presence they sing with so much passion. I find myself watching their performances multiple times. I really hope they make an album. You should check out their official website.
Every time I watch this I am more amazed... He has on his hillbilly jeans to go knock kneed and throws out every bit of nerves, terror, insecurity- everything! And belts that long note on top! He's astonishing.
This is the best song I ever heard on a reality singing show. Better than all American Idol seasons combined, it was just that good of a performance. I don't even like this music genre but this group made me like this song, that's how powerful it was to me. Great job Street Corner Symphony, too bad they didn't win the show.
I never knew the original song, but this version would make me listen to it. I loved the way Jeremy and the group can pull off different styles of songs.
you should be supremely glad that the author of the video responded to you instead of being shocked that your internet anonymity and pointless comment intended to receive no attention, are not invincible
You more than did this song justice. I didn't even know the original before this perfect rendition but I'm glad I didn't because you guys made me appreciate it even more. Exceptional talent.
It's Bluecoats, first of all. One word. And I don't see the need to compare a 12-voice + percussion drum corps arrangement to an a cappella one. Completely different beasts and requirements. I'd know. I've done both.
I love this acapella group alot... they are sooo good! Especially in this song! makes me smile to watch it! I've watch the show last night but i like watching it again...
This is such an amazing performance. I was just reminded of it by a pretty good performance of the song on The Voice ..... this.. this is just such a definitive version of the song.. his voice .. holy crap at 1:08 its like a gust of wind and emotion lifts off ... ... I'll save ya more poetry .. just insane
I was so surprised when they chose this as their classic rock song, but oh my god they did this song better than i ever thought possible and then some. Amazing
I have liked this song since the first time I heard it last year but, they just made it my favorite. Their sound is flawless, soothing, and moving. They should have won. I have a feeling this is not the last people will see of Street Corner Symphony.
So much respect for dealing with that in a civil manor! The world needs more people like you. And I love this version of the song. It is a disappointment the show cut so much of it out though :/
This is what you call TRUE talent. They're not fake, they can sing AMAZINIG live, and they're not stuck up and ignorant. This is what you call singing.
It’s been years but this gives me chills every time I hear it
Phenomenal.
For me, this is still the best vocal performance on the The Sing Off to date.
Committed - Let's get it On
Afro-Blue - A Change is Gonna Come

+AmericazGotTalentYT committed did let's stay together
couldn't agree more homie
12 years later i still come back to this often
The thing I love about SCS and Committed are that they are pure in their singing. No gimmicks, just tight harmonies and melodies.
Jeremy puts something into his singing that no one else has really been able to replicate... well at least I think so.
This element is called passion.
I remember watching this on tv nine plus years ago and still get the same chills today I got then. I still can't believe they didn't win.
This is one of the performances from the Sing Off that I keep coming back too. Love it!
you know they are really good when you look up them singing this specific song and it's been like 6 years since this show was on. crazy.

That tenor “ooooh” at 0:26 is effortlessly butter. So many unsung heroes go into creating great a capella.
The hardest part isn't where he's singing loudly, almost a wail (in a good way, he stays perfectly on pitch during that). The hardest part is where he switches from that to the almost whisper at the end.
This was definitely my favorite performance of the whole season feom any of the groups.
It baffles the mind that a group this talented and a front man this amazing came in second place. Just goes to show how much talent they were up against.
No matter how many times I see this, over and over it blows me away. Dude's a freakin' rock star.
Jeremy I remember you and richie performing in the jungle my my 9th grade year. It's amazing to to see how far you have gone and an honor to know you
I loved Street Corner Symphony and I definitely thought they should have won. They simply have it all talent, charisma and appeal. Jeremy Lister's voice is gorgeous he is the perfect front man.

Every time I watch this I am more amazed... He has on his hillbilly jeans to go knock kneed and throws out every bit of nerves, terror, insecurity- everything!
And belts that long note on top! He's astonishing.
I still think Street Corner Symphony should have won. I love ALL their performances and songs.
Love it. Starts low & slow, bubbles and simmers, then pops a cork at the halfway mark. Love the big dynamic and emotional range.
Still my all time favorite SCS performance! I always come back to it.
Wow this 2010?! I still get chills.
I can't get enough of Street Corner Symphony..2 weeks and I am not sick of a single song!
This is the best song I ever heard on a reality singing show. Better than all American Idol seasons combined, it was just that good of a performance. I don't even like this music genre but this group made me like this song, that's how powerful it was to me. Great job Street Corner Symphony, too bad they didn't win the show.
Got into an argument with someone...he couldn't believe this was A'Cappella.!!! Love you SCS!!! Can't get enough
These guys and Committed were on a whole other level. Can't go wrong with either one really, both groups are extremely talented.
What a set of pipes on Jeremy. Very heartfelt--well done. I was pulling for you guys on the show.
Just hearing this song on this show made me look at life in a whole different way and made me start a new chapter in life.
I think its amazing that everyone had chills from this performance! I did and they continued to amaze me every night with their range!
I never knew the original song, but this version would make me listen to it. I loved the way Jeremy and the group can pull off different styles of songs.
Love this song. Strait No Chaser does an AMAZING job with this song too
They NEED to bring this show back!!!!
When I first saw this on TV I was stunned at how great they performed this song. I still am evert time I hear it.
you should be supremely glad that the author of the video responded to you instead of being shocked that your internet anonymity and pointless comment intended to receive no attention, are not invincible
he even cried with emotion in that song, that is just pure talent and love for music
I am 5o plus years young and I love these guys!! Would love to see them in person! I too had watched this on The Sing Off... fantastic sound.
I get chills when he sings "run". every time.
Never gets old. I am still listening to this version until now.
1:25 Dat Note Doe. Man that's nice, mmm.
You more than did this song justice. I didn't even know the original before this perfect rendition but I'm glad I didn't because you guys made me appreciate it even more. Exceptional talent.

Amen. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
Oh, you belong my friend. You're right where you should be and deserve to be, as is the rest of your group. Do it up guys!
I love this acapella group alot... they are sooo good! Especially in this song! makes me smile to watch it! I've watch the show last night but i like watching it again...

I'll save ya more poetry .. just insane
