You forgot the words "for him" in the end of the sentence. Cause it really is difficult, not to him though. The guy has an incredible vocal range and can hold tags for really long time.
How I wish people could refrain themselves from applauding on the last chord. It must be pretty hard not to do it though, just watching this video had me jumping on my seat. Amazing
Haha y’all crack me up Tim is a human bag of unlimited air and range of voice. He could of held the note even longer but everyone else ran outta breath 😂😂..
Except Ramsus Kingström (I hope I spelt it right), who was challenged to a posting contest by Tim who died of shock after Ramsus held his for 52 seconds. Ramsus won because Tim didn't bother after that.

I saw VS live in MN. It was the first time I saw a medalist quartet. They opened with When I See an Elephant Fly. I actually let out a laugh on the last chord. For some reason, that was my emotional response. It was like nothing I had ever heard. I have listened to so much online and from the studio from a bunch of quartets, but nothing will compare to that moment.
Haha, 2:02 is exactly why Eric is a gold medalist and I will never be one-that is just a ridiculous re-entry. Oh, the rest of the performance was good too, if you're into "ringing chords."
They are one of the goat quartets. I got to meet them, and it was one of the best days of my life. I love how when Tim posts, that’s almost all you can hear, what a beast.
If these guys went on a singing/talent competition (sing-off, america's got talent, what have you) they would clear the field easy. The world needs to see this level of our hobby. This is a secret way too good to keep!
At 2:10 you can hear a fifth voice on their slide to that last chord. I can clearly find that the bass slides to a low C, bari slides to an A, lead slides to a D#, and tenor slides to an F. If you listen closely, on that last slide, there’s a pitch that slides to a middle C therefore making it five notes you’re hearing. Pretty amazing overtones
Can't stop watching this video! Vocal Spectrum are incredible! And Aaron Dale is a genius arranger. They're all having so much fun in this video. Brilliant stuff!
I really can't stand when some audience members, and increasingly lately, clap during the final chord of an amazing arrangement like this. If there's one chord that you would definitely like to hear clearly, it's the final one, then everyone starts clapping the moment they detect it's the ending. Does anyone else find this annoying?
Happens not only in this, but in many many concerts I gave where you just have a little pause in a piece or a song, and the movement and cadence go somewhere else people start clapping and then realize it's not over smh
That was the incomparable Tim Waurick :) This video is awesome, but I was priviledged to be on the Smooth As Ice Alaskan cruise with these guys in July and the performance they did of this was out of this world!!
Hey man, if you dislike it, why say anything at all? Since you clearly have no frame of reference for understanding or appreciating what it takes to put together a difficult arrangement like this, spare yourself some dignity and leave commenting to those who actually enjoy the hobby. Thanks.
These guys are great. Who ever the guy is on the left is awesome. I wish I could get these guys to come and sing at the next revival at my church. Very cool song by the way.
Tim, the tenor, held the last note for around 20-25 seconds, which sounds difficult, but because he was most likely anchoring and applying proper belting techniques the task was much simpler for him.
First time hearing this, and after listening to the tag, I had to repeat it to see where Tim caught a breath...28 seconds...what a post! (ps...I knew he could compete with "The Lung", and no, I didn't think he caught a breath either..lol)
Is this like the Barbershop version of Chuck Norris jokes? HAHA!!! I wonder... Tim Waurick was once trapped underwater for 6 days without breathing and on the 7th day he rested. That lake is now known as Harmony Lake in Pennsylvania. Many barbershoppers still make the pilgrimage to the place where Harmony was born.
@viesca91 In barbershop, the parts are bass, baritone, lead, and tenor. It is similar but not identical to a standard/classical setup, but the vocal ranges of each of the parts are different (vs. the operatic scale). Barbershop is all about creating a blend--a single, unison voice--and if any of them backed away from the mic it would detract from the sound of the quartet. Vocal Spectrum is also well known for featuring their baritone and tenor on melody lines, so those two often step forward.
Jacob, if you are in fact doing a school project, I would suggest both reading Four Parts No Waiting by Dr. Gage Averill (an ethnomusicology study of the barbershop style) and watch the documentary film American Harmony. It is clear that you do not have anything approaching an understanding of either the musical style nor the Barbershop Harmony Society organization. If you have questions, all you have to do is ask.
Litterly no one: Tim Waurick: FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@DKTHOMP93 Be there live and you'll realize that sometimes when a world class quartet locks up, and the hair on the back of your neck starts to tingle, you just start standing and clapping involuntarily...Can't really explain it better than that.....but I know what you mean.
@agoodfriend99 that my friend is Tim Waurick, I am willing to put my house on the fact he is the best tenor barbershop has seen and will never be beat.
It's fun to watch Tim Waurick pretend that it's difficult
You forgot the words "for him" in the end of the sentence. Cause it really is difficult, not to him though. The guy has an incredible vocal range and can hold tags for really long time.
the quality of sound that your camera is able to record is GOD TIER
Tim Waurick once won a chorus competition by himself. He scored a 96.3.
Some say he has a 3rd arm underneath his beard
1:23 that specific "shigidibop bop" makes shivers trail down my spine man...
How I wish people could refrain themselves from applauding on the last chord. It must be pretty hard not to do it though, just watching this video had me jumping on my seat. Amazing
I could literally watch this every day for the rest of my life and it would not get old.
Lol
One of the greatest quartets of ALL TIME
8 years later and absolutely still stands true (also kipp :)
Tim: *leans head forward, blinks a lot*
Me: Oh crap here we go...
I noticed that Tim never blinks, maybe he is breathing through his eyes, that would explain a lot.
John Townsend He's definitely an alien.
It's like circular breathing for grownups
He only ever blinks at the beginning of a long note...several times it seems 2:23
@@benevans128 that's how he gathers air for the long notes...
I'm sorry but he blinked like 30 times during the post
Why is not Tim Waurick not a world famous tenor? He could sing Bach, Mozart, Schubert, broadway anything!
Haha y’all crack me up Tim is a human bag of unlimited air and range of voice. He could of held the note even longer but everyone else ran outta breath 😂😂..
Except Ramsus Kingström (I hope I spelt it right), who was challenged to a posting contest by Tim who died of shock after Ramsus held his for 52 seconds. Ramsus won because Tim didn't bother after that.
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 Actually that was Jakob (Both are awesome anyways) :)
@@airhead1118 Oops, you're right! And yeah, they're both great on lead and tenor, which is extremely impressive
Whenever Jonny gets a solo, he just makes the song SO MUCH better than it already is.
Oh... My... Gosh....how did he not pass out from holding that last note for so long... EPIC AWESOMENESS!!!!!

Loved it all.... ringing chords and the whole shebang!!!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbershop_music#Ringing_chords
You'll win one day bro! Lets win it together ;)
If you're into that sort of thing, lol.
Eric is one of my favorite leads… just brilliant and I love how lightly he hits those high notes and doesn't overpower them
They are one of the goat quartets. I got to meet them, and it was one of the best days of my life. I love how when Tim posts, that’s almost all you can hear, what a beast.
If these guys went on a singing/talent competition (sing-off, america's got talent, what have you) they would clear the field easy. The world needs to see this level of our hobby. This is a secret way too good to keep!
ERIC'S VOICE MAKES ME MELT INTO A PUDDLE OF HAPPINESS AND LOVE!!
How can you not listen to this and smile? Great singing and wonderful showmanship. These guys are amazing!
At 2:10 you can hear a fifth voice on their slide to that last chord. I can clearly find that the bass slides to a low C, bari slides to an A, lead slides to a D#, and tenor slides to an F.

Pretty amazing overtones
Oh my God amazing!!!! what a wonderful group! and the last maintained note!
I didn't even see him breathe before the note
No other quartet will ever do it this good. Done.
I just watched this a ton of times and tried singing the tenor's last note, and I almost did it, but then I passed out almost.
AWESOME!!! I love barbershop style music!
Omg Tim kills it, Vocal Spectrum is my favorite shop!!!!! (:
Can't stop watching this video! Vocal Spectrum are incredible! And Aaron Dale is a genius arranger. They're all having so much fun in this video. Brilliant stuff!
Love that it's actually Eric and not Tim who cuts of the last chord! Amazing live performance.
I really can't stand when some audience members, and increasingly lately, clap during the final chord of an amazing arrangement like this. If there's one chord that you would definitely like to hear clearly, it's the final one, then everyone starts clapping the moment they detect it's the ending. Does anyone else find this annoying?
Yes, it's extremely annoying.
Happens not only in this, but in many many concerts I gave where you just have a little pause in a piece or a song, and the movement and cadence go somewhere else people start clapping and then realize it's not over smh
I'd have to say im guilty of this, I sometimes just get too excited and have to force myself to stop applauding. However, I agree it is annoying
It's actually totally disrespect. But nobody learns respect anymore.
I find it annoying. But that is not a recent tradition.
すごい！聴いてて楽しくなるね！
That was the incomparable Tim Waurick :) This video is awesome, but I was priviledged to be on the Smooth As Ice Alaskan cruise with these guys in July and the performance they did of this was out of this world!!
Awesome harmonies!!
Hey man, if you dislike it, why say anything at all? Since you clearly have no frame of reference for understanding or appreciating what it takes to put together a difficult arrangement like this, spare yourself some dignity and leave commenting to those who actually enjoy the hobby. Thanks.
The whole performance was ear candy! But I have to say arrangement and message marry @2:30! That is what makes my life worth living.
Awesome job by this group! I saw the Dapper Dans perform this rendition live at Disneyland Anaheim
That ending tag made the hairs of my arms stand up! Looooooved it!
I didnt think a 30 sec note was humanly possible. I WAS WRONG. WOW!!!! Incredible!
*jaw drops* i love the old time classic sound instead of the pop crap you here all the time!
OH MY GOD THEY ARE PERFECTION AT IT'S FINEST!!!!!!
Wow - fantastic! Bravo!
These guys are great. Who ever the guy is on the left is awesome. I wish I could get these guys to come and sing at the next revival at my church. Very cool song by the way.
It doesn't get any better than this
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!
I think I have watched this video at least 25 times this week. haha Love it!
Amazing
omg... He holded that note for so long!! That was epic!!
This is some strong piece of work
That note though, I would enjoy having the breath support Tim waurick has.
Tim, the tenor, held the last note for around 20-25 seconds, which sounds difficult, but because he was most likely anchoring and applying proper belting techniques the task was much simpler for him.
Well done lads.
Thought the fella on the left would turn blue at the end !!!
Great job.
Liverpool UK.
Aquaman is so impressed by Tim Wauricks breath support that he now has a pair of Tim Waurick pajamas!!
This is truly my favorite barbershop video on youtube.
i love these guys so much
This is so good! Vocal Spectrum are the masters!
OH GOOD LORD! It might actually be the best tag ever! What a song! What a quartet! Thanks for posting! I literally can't wait for their new album now!
You guys are great!!!
This is my new favorite thing in the world...
Yes!!!! This is awesome
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Tim Waurick! (oh yeah, and Vocal Spectrum too) Just kidding, all four of you are awesome!!!
This is my favorite!!
the end of this makes my face and lungs melt every single time. I die. how is this possible.
First time hearing this, and after listening to the tag, I had to repeat it to see where Tim caught a breath...28 seconds...what a post! (ps...I knew he could compete with "The Lung", and no, I didn't think he caught a breath either..lol)
this. group. is. HYPER-awesome!!!!!!!
That was awesome!
Yea! Thank you SO much
Amazing!
Who is the genious that wrote this arrangement? Fantastic singers and a fantastic performance! My respect for you guys
Aaron Dale
One of my favorites. As a tenor myself, I aspire to a 25-second post. One day... *sigh*
I shat my pants when I heard that tag!!! Awesome, and epic to hear something "new", not the same old chord progressions.
I love the Illinois colors Lads!
wooow !!! Tim really holds that last note!! Amazing no female barbershopper could come close to this, wish i could though haa
Is this like the Barbershop version of Chuck Norris jokes? HAHA!!! I wonder... Tim Waurick was once trapped underwater for 6 days without breathing and on the 7th day he rested. That lake is now known as Harmony Lake in Pennsylvania. Many barbershoppers still make the pilgrimage to the place where Harmony was born.
Oh my gosh lol
Wow, they are having fun!
Awesome! ...and Tim... you blow, buddy! You're incredible! Thanks, =3!
dang this is crazy clean...wonder what they would score in today's competition
Even though it's been 10 years since they won, I bet if Vocal Spectrum put a year's work into a contest set they could hit 95-96%
this is AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!
I could feel myself getting whiter as I listened to this.
*****
I think you know
I'll tell you when you get older
*****
Exactly.
*****
okay
*****
will do!
WHY CAN'T I STOP LISTENING TO THIS?
Super Timmy Waurick!
thanx for your upload!

Tim's last note was sick!!,how did he hold the note that long?
Probably magic.
with a good technique, practice and genetics
20-25 seconds
Mark C Wobil He held that note so long that jesus was able to die, come back three days later and take his voice to heaven with him.. hot dayum.
+Raggydoll 01 He actually has a song where he holds a note more than twice as long as this song.
Awesome
I honestly love this so much. ^-^
Omg that last tone! o_o how the heck does he hold it for so long???
Flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Sooooo cool! :)

His name is Tim Waurick.
Hot damn, the pipes on that guy
you can tell Tim would want to keep on going with that post!
@DKTHOMP93 Be there live and you'll realize that sometimes when a world class quartet locks up, and the hair on the back of your neck starts to tingle, you just start standing and clapping involuntarily...Can't really explain it better than that.....but I know what you mean.
@nwmusic06 also how amazing of a mic that's being used
still tight as always
Five years removed from winning gold, and their sound only gets cleaner and tighter. GO VS!!
I really tried to do that long note with the guy but I could not I was able to do it until the other guys joined back in with him
@agoodfriend99 that my friend is Tim Waurick, I am willing to put my house on the fact he is the best tenor barbershop has seen and will never be beat.
I demand more video. :D:D
