    This is easily the best "reality singing show" performance I've seen. Dan belongs on Broadway, serious.

    • @ShuffletownGirl
      @ShuffletownGirl 9 лет назад +117

      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?

    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.

      @KristenRowenPliske 3 месяца назад

      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.

    @blades_mikka6150 9 лет назад +46

    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!

    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! :-)

    • @zZLucky13
      @zZLucky13 9 лет назад +5

      That's the shocking part of it.

    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.
