Performance as in how they move and speak or Performance in how they sing? It's late at night so I'm skimming through the video but this doesn't seem to be too mucb special. I'll look over it better in the morning but I think I prefer the older pre-2000's voice that quartet's just don't have anymore. The first BHS quartets had a soft sound that sounded oh so nice, the quartets around the Buffalo Bill era had a harder attack than their predecessors and rung so loudly, the 1960's quartets started the same sound that would be used all the way up to somewhere in the 90's, and now here we are. I don't even know how to describe this voice but it rattles my ears to listen to. I listen to something like Mother of Mine by the Oriole Four and I'd take that any day over this (I understand that it's a studio recording and not a live one, so to give a live recording I'll give BHS's Mill Street Medley). I really don't want to sound like a debbie downer but I just love this art form so much and to see it change to a point where I can't listen to any new songs put out by quartets anymore is very sad.
If you have listened to barbershop this long you may have been aware of the The Most Happy Fellows. Intel Champs from 1977 if I remember correctly. Bob Hodge, tenor, was my Brother-in-law. He was phenomenal! I miss him and all the Haps greatly.

Thats unironically the first marvel movie I watched, I went to see it in theaters thinking "I watched like half of Infinity War I kinda get it". Only went because it was getting hyped up and a friend wanted to see it
Speaking of Marvel: KJ reminds me so much of Jon Favreau, and now I just imagine this is how Happy would react if Tony Stark put him in this situation. 😂
@@johnathanrhoades7751 Well yes....there's definitely technique to it....but even experienced stuntmen get injured on occasion, especially since he wasn't falling into a safety pad.
Agreed! There are so many inside jokes, and I didn’t catch some of them, so seeing the little Easter eggs I missed explained makes me appreciate it that much more!
My favorite part of this is that you have to be a diehard barbershop fan to get this. All of these niche barbershop jokes, but the audience responds wonderfully and gets every single one. Wonderful example of how music brings people together, no matter how popular/niche the genre is!!
I am new to barbershop and didn’t get most of them right away and could still find the humor in what they were doing without knowing it. Though knowing it makes it even more amazing.
Sorry to dissapoint you my noble lady...I am a Rockabilly Hepcat ( if you want to insist on titles) and I do understand all their jokes, their walk through history, their puns and all, you're not that exclusive😎😉💖
I don't know what path I took in my online life where I'm watching a video of a barbershop quartet performing with all of the inside jokes being explained, and I'm sitting here thinking "No you don't have to explain it, I got the reference" every time
I love that you can hear them quietly chirping their notes every now and then during the long comedy stuff, highly relatable. Absolutely incredible performance all round!
9:54 is a reference to International in 2022 when Midtown jogged off stage after a great set - Anthony slipped and fell. The other quartet members proceeded to come back out on stage and fall on purpose. It was amazing and this is a funny call-back
I never watched Barbershop Quartets until I saw a George Collier video like this, now that I’ve seen THIS video, I know there’s a whole lot more to the jokes involved and community scene. I can’t wait to watch more!
if you listen carefully during the spoken parts u can hear the occasional hums of someone reminding the pitch and holding it... which is pretty awesome considering they have to focus on the acting as well at the same time. Super impressive
I absolutely love watching barbershop, especially barbershop comedy, but there were so many little references packed into this, I wouldn’t have caught everything! Thank you so much for breaking this down, it makes me appreciate it even more!
Never heard of these guys and don't have any extensive lore into the Barbershop Scene which apparently exists, but this had me rolling. The way he bounced 💀😂 the physical comedy was so good even someone who has no idea what is happening can burst out laughing 😂
Great job explaining the iceberg of this masterpiece in real-time. I wasn't sure anything could top the lunacy of the "Car Song". I was wrong NOTE: The Car Song would be a great video to transcribe too
The fact that the previous time he did it, KJ said he "wouldn't miss" falling on his face and now 3 people who grew up with it are pressuring him to do it.
My knowledge of Barbershop Quartets is limited to Lunch Break's "Deformed Farm" performances and a couple performances of The Newfangled Four. While I did get all the farm jokes, it was nice to have explanations for the rest so I could at least have a reference of what was going on. This performance was absolutely hilarious. Also, has it really been 10 years since Lunch Break dissolved? I can't believe it's been that long.
That has to be one of the best prat falls ive seen. Thanks for the explanations too, it helps someone like me that knows nothing about the barbershop world
Thanks for explaining all of the inside jokes. I had gone back and watched Lunch Break's version. But, I'm just discovering Barbershop and didn't know all of the quotes from all of the other groups. SO cool! And what a fine actor KJ is! This was perfectly staged, choreographed, and acted!
Pointing out a squirel in such a manner is that is a common tropey joke of people with attention deficit disorder. Some may call it ableist, I call it fucking hilarious.
I'm pretty sure it's a direct reference to the movie _Up_ as well, as a talking dog is frequently distracted mid-sentence by seeing a squirrel. (Either that, or the writers of the movie pulled this from Lunch Break, it's way too similar to be coincidence.)
My dad sang barbershop quartet with his friends in 1970s. This was great father's day gift for him Recall them singing in our house and now I know how and why I ended up being a very good choral singer who performs with symphony orchestras. Thanks for your posts.😂
Midtown came to the Illinois District recently and they talked about this performance and it was so cool to meet with them. They coached my quartet too!
I've never been a big barbershop fan. but I've seen enough to recognize KJ and all the in jokes....good on him for running with it. And DAMN, how did he not hurt himself on that fall??

Thank you for explaining the in-jokes so outsiders like myself can understand and enjoy the laughs!

Watching this felt like there is a new episode of a cartoon show that I know nothing about, but my hiperactive seven years old kid is super enthusiastic about it. They want me to watch it with them when it plays on television and they want me to also be super enthusiastic about it, so they constantly keep explaining every detail like I cannot watch the screen myself like "Do you see how scared he is? He probably does not want to jump off the roof, but they really want him to." and pointing out all the behind the scenes references like "Did you see the red ribbon she had? She got it from John in the episode 264 and that is why she is looking at him like that." so that I catch up with the show and can watch it with them regularly from now on. And when it ends they ask "So? Did you like it? Did you like it?" And because I love them, I cannot say "I would have enjoyed it a bit more without you conctantly commenting on everything." So instead I say "Yes, it was very nice. :) "
8:35 there is a Simpson's movie reference. In the movie while Marge is cleaning dirty footprints on the walls and ceiling she overhears her husband singing "spiderpig" while he's holding the animal creating the dirty footprints.
Thank you for all the annotations, I went deep dive to watch the jokes, and found all sorts of quartets I've never heard of. That said, I don't believe for a second that KJ wasn't in on the joke, what with having his old uniform on under a pull away tux...
ngl. came here intending to argue about the title..... I pleasantly bow out and will concede that this has to be at least a top 3 performance and effort. This, Ringmasters doing Notre Dame, and at least one other have to be running around the same level...

How KJ makes that fall without hurting himself is beyond me. Hits the floor flat and hard.
He hits shoulder and hip to spread the impact and is very careful with the head. It’s actually quite well done.
It's called a "prat-fall." I learned to do them years ago.

It was really funny watching Quorum’s reactions to some of their jokes, they were dying laughing. Just shows how everyone’s good sports in this hobby.
Kinda makes me wonder at the reactions of the rest of Lunch Break....especially since KJ won with basically an LB routine.
Where can I see these reactions? It sounds hilarious
The comedy is phenomenal, but even better is coming back to the music without having to retune or have a pitch pipe is amazing.

the acting chops thing with anthony is also because he has toured with broadway touring shows!
Among everything else, that fall was superb
Nothing tops Ringmasters' Notre Dame Medley for sheer jaw dropping singing but this was good fun and incredible harmony.
When they pointed out squirrel I swear i was hearing them hum their voices so as not to go off during the long break, please tell me I'm not alone.😆
Yep, fairly common for quartets to do this during breaks in comedy songs. The Newfangled Four and Main Street are also good at this
It’s 5 in the morning i need to go to school in an hour but instead I’m watching this. I don’t regret a thing
All that's left is for other quartets to interrupt Midtown in their AIC show mic test sets
