I can do better with my ears shut...
That was a NICE arrangement! That wasn't that bad - considering all you get is the video mic...
Needs a dash of passion and a pinch of soul...
Most of them are white... we white men have no soul...Quote:

I'll agree with that. The lead singer has no emotion or tone. He sucked.Quote:

And that wasn't an octet. I counted at least 12 people there.
I give it a C-.
One of the first things I noticed was that it was not an octet. After looking on YouTube a bit, I figured out that it is just the name of the group. It looks to be between 12 and 16 kids and they have been doing shows for a few years. Maybe it is some group on campus that naturally reinvents itself every 4 years with passing students. A competing acapella group from the same campus is Ephlat...
I totally agree with the tempo comment - I like the tempo be sang it at.
