    I've grown to appreciate Marcus more and more seeing him in various performances - but gosh, that line of his from 1:19 to 1:27 - that's _amazing!_ So smooth, and the tone of his voice on the low note is incredible! The way he and Jake play of each other vocally is great, too. Sometimes its hard to pick him out among the others (which I suppose makes him a good baritone, haha), but hearing his softer tone is just lovely, like listening to butter. I'd love to have more opportunities to hear him in their songs.

    • @dclark142002
      @dclark142002 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      In the past, the quality of the sound and the perfection of their singing has lagged a bit behind some of the more successful groups. NF4 has always known their niche was their comedy style, which isn't rewarded as much in the points as the pure music theory stuff, at least as far as I can tell.
      This year though, they were much improved.
      Listen to NF4 from say 2019 and compare with a group like Ringmasters...you can really hear the difference in control and also vocal range.

  • @kele5181

    I remember this song from several years ago, my favorite part is when the d note is sustained as a solo voice through the ending chords. I don't know what this technique is called but the bass voice (Jake) is my favorite part as it's so rich and smooth. All the parts are good and this is a very interesting song to listen to.

      The original lyrics for part of the song were:
      "For there's no pipes so electrifyin'
      Perfect, the purest of pitch.
      You can ask any Joe, Jake, or Ryan,
      And they'll tell you he's surely a son of a...
      Rich set of parents who could afford quality voice lessons."
      "Pitch" rhymed with "rich", and "electrifyin'" rhymed with "Ryan". When Marcus became the new baritone, they replaced his name in the song, but now the line doesn't rhyme.

    I just rewatched the performance from years ago (th-cam.com/video/6-pXtSuxEXA/w-d-xo.html) side-by-side with this one. You can tell how hard these guys work both by the way 90% of the performances line up note-by-note and sometimes even joke by joke, and where they've added new material (such as "My parents could afford to give me the finest voice lessons." "So why didn't they?").
    I hope they get first place next year.
