1st Performance - Pitch Slapped (Berklee College) - "Good Girls Gone Bad" - By Cobra Starship 

Reminds me so much of "Pitch Perfect"!! I loved it.

That girl Jennifer Waris graduated with me. She was singing the national anthem at the football games in elementary school. She was always in school plays and what not, so I'm not that surprised to see her on here.

who's here in 2019? Can't believe its been 9 years- SO good!

they're actually really good. You can't base their likability on this vid alone. Hannah and Ingrid joined season 3 with Delilah and i absolutely love them

i cant believe they went out so early

Can't believe they were the first eliminated. I thought they gave one of the best performances of the night.

0:41 it's just so damn sick how they're singing it. i constantly just click back to this repeatedly.

I think they landed on their feet: 2011 ICCA champions, ~half a year after this recording.

omg i love occpela for this reson and i really wish i see more of this from any one and mostly this is one of my role modles for shore!!!!!!!!!!

#OMG... They're Greatttttttttt :) I love it.. ,

The dooshiness of the lead guy is what ruined it for me

I wish they performed "How Far We've Come." It sounds like that fits their voices much better.

This makes Pitch Slapped look so bad when they’re pretty much the best group in the collegiate a cappella world

I CAN'T believe they didn't make it!!!! I loved it!!!!

they made this song good, 3:15 was my favorite part

omg mario!!!

Go Mario

i love their name❤

I wasn’t wowed!

Is it bad if i like the song they're singing during their introduction rather than their actual performance? That dude was kickass and it fits them better.

Yeah, really nice placement of that dissonant chord to underscore "gone bad".

@mediakillsmusic Hey! Thanks!! ... yeah and still doing the anthems haha

@Snowbear0000000000 yes. they sang in pitch slapped before they sang in delilah. delilah is composed of different female singers from different past groups that have joined the sing off. :)

I thought I saw Zac Efron :)

they shouldve sang how far we've come by rob thomas, it sounded good in the audition video

I agree.I will add that singing does demand good ears because blending is in real time.

@coolpunkchick115 when they were in icca theyr vocals were alot more brought out. the condenser mics were right on top of them in that comp.

DID ANYONE ELSE SEE SAM TSUI IN IT??!?!

they will go some place in life anyway they're time will come.

OMG, the lead female at 2:40!!! That grin she gives could ice!

@jhernandez16 They are. When the girls sing, the boys do the stomp and claps and vice-versa. The camera works cuts most of it out, but if you look closely you will see it.

Haha, wow, these comments.. umm.. First of all -- who cares if they're good looking?! I'm not saying they're not, but what at ALL does that have to do with anything? Second of all, just because the facts about the school and their musicianship are impressive doesn't mean they were being cocky or gloating. Like every other group, they were stating their strengths and background, and yes, Berklee is very prestigious and tough to get into. They absolutely have the right to be proud of that.

oh my god its Hispanic Zac Efron

I'm here for Mario !

How I wish that they had sung to their normal standard. I think perhaps nerves got to the lead male vocalist or something, because any other youtube clip I have found of them as been great, regardless who has been singing. Out of interest, how much of a role did the producers take in song-choice and vocalist choice, does anyone know? Because I would have thought that there were some much better songs as their signature song to show their talent. (Halo, How far we've come, etc)

@maatu1 1) The hype is encouraged by the film crew, and they typically feed you lines or coax what they want out of you, 2) The hype would have been additionally augmented by the (justifiable) reputation of Berkeley School of Music (quote, "the number one contemporary music school in the world..." -- ask any performer in the field, and they'll at least agree it's ONE of the best. Several publications have in fact listed it as THE best.). [[continued in next post]]

@chelseykwok88 Just did a show with you guys, and I absolutely agree with your rebuttal. Pitch Slapped is an incredible group of caring, open, and spectacularly talented singers. TV does a crap load of editing, especially when it comes down to ratings, and they gave you a bad rap before they even let you open your mouths in performance. Frankly, it makes me angry. But props to all Pitch Slappers past and present--don't let this get to you. it was an honor to sing with you!

💜😀

Jennifer Waris

@StanfordSinger things would be different if they stayed on the show, but no, they got eliminated after the first taping. after hyping yourself up like that, you'd think to deliver. i rest my case.

@KCaram2011 EXACTLY. thank god someone got that.

I'm trying to go to Berklee next year... but i don't think I would fit in quite well surrounded by such cocky people!! That really worries me...

@TheHaloChief117 Berklee and Berkeley are very different schools. The former is the top modern music conservatory while the latter is the top public university.

Thought that was sam tsui

OMG is that Ingrid playing the drums??

@chelseykwok88 yeah i guess you're right... ;)

they're talented but it's hilarious that despite all their bragging (sure, it's probably warranted), they were eliminated first

These people remind me of the Gossip Girl cast.

The lead singer looks, acts, and sings like Justin Timberlake...

Lmao I laughed pretty hard when they were hyping up Berkeley too. Fun performance though.

Mario!

meg porter is incredible

@maatu1 They didn't have to be cocky, but yeah, Berklee is the best modern music conservatory. A lot of famous jazz and rock artists have come from Berklee.

Pride goeth before a fall.

I think they bumped this group early because they wanted more variety on the show and the judges went with the groups that had back stories which were more dramatic. It's the only reason I can think of that these guys who were clearly more talented than most of the other groups didn't go on.

the cameraman really likes the blonde chick, she's on screen quite a bit

@madinah31 one kid, must be the rest 4 and half thousand of us as well

Ben is trying to say that pitch won't be corrected with being louder. That only works if you drown out the bad pitches but with everyone screaming...its not going to happen.

i think they did great!!!! but i can see why they were out 1st.

@drewdude44 He's not bad. Just can't always stay on the notes. He has the potential but doesn't exceed my expectations...... he also sped up the whole song. Did you notice that

@maatu1 [[continued]] There many have been a degree of arrogance in their self assessment in the beginning of the video, but it is the "arrogance" exhibited by any performer, naturally generated, as they psyche themselves up for a group performance. You could say that that's the accepted tone. Finally, and you'd agree with me if you've ever performed live yourself: occasionally things go wrong. You can be giving your best and still not be on top of your game at the end of the day [[continued]].

Wait Ingrid plays the drums? Whhaaaa

@ 0:40 sounds so damn good. Why didn't they do this?

"I'm really looking forward to that." You are such a bad liar, Ben.

@jayboytheplayboy they are certainly good enough to say something...

RJ！

Pitch Slapped shouldn't have many reasons to be arrogant... as mentioned in the video... they got 2nd place at ICCAs and guess who they lost to? USC's SoCal Vocals.... (I think Kenton, Kelley, Catherine, just to name a few, were all at one point or another time in that group)

Hmmm....they won FIRST place at the ICCA's this year, they can't be too bad. I think they thought this was more of a popularity contest, and tried to market themselves as young and hot. Their best singer is actually the tubby guy with glasses, and they didnt have him sing the solo because they were trying to market themselves to america. They are amazing, don't hate...

i just wish they got into the competition a bit further before they all voiced out that they're from this school. we just won this, and we blah. because they lost on the first round of competition. :p but anyway, i still like them. most esp. ingrid and hanna. :)

the guy in black hair that is singing when they r in boston stadium looks like zach efron

@madinah31 wish I could thumb that up twice.

handheld mics would have saved them :/

Q: How many soprano singers does it take to plug in a light bulb? A: One, she sticks the light bulb into the socket, and waits for the world to start revolving around her....

Gawd, the Sing-Off got so much better once Nicole was booted... too bad it came too late.

i think that if they hadn't been from Berkley they would have given them another chance.

They all wearing purple whawho!

if they had did how far weve come they would have gone farther

@Jooshkabob lol. but they will go places so i didnt think they should have won. They have the chances others dont get so..... too bad for them.

Where did those stomps and those claps come from? They weren't doing it.

they were pretty good, very good looking bunch of people though I must say. It seems though, that a lot was happening in the performance I wasn't too sure I liked it as much as I wanted to. plus the girls voices were a tad annoying when they started yelling at each other :P

i know that alot of songs sound better when performed acapella by a good group but...this was one song that was a mistake to turn acapella.....

@enjoylifeJYL Maybe it's just me, but I don't see this arrogance that everyone's talking about. Yes they got 2nd, but still very impressive for a group of only four years to compete against the Vocals who have been around for 15 years.... both groups are great in their own right.

@Danielgod202 @maatu1 May I ask, by what means do you make your judgements? I would advise you to talk to a member of Pitch Slapped in person before saying much more. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

I have to disagree. They may not have been the best on the show, but every group deserved to be there.

MARIO

wats the blonde girls name?

@jhernandez16 it's called beatboxing

yoo i dont get why mario isnt singing the solo. hes wayyy wayyy better.

That brunette chick is smoking and beautiful. Damn. How did I miss them?

wait, Berklee? not Berkeley university?

I think they would've done better if it was another song.

honestly, I think the producers made them look cocky because they are from Berklee, because there's no way they lost to that high school group.

#1 Contemporary Music School. Suuuuurrreeeee.

@crazytexterlover1 Ingrid Andress

I think their hubris hurt them.

@gonnabeamegastar You can get into any school if you have enough money

they shouldnt have left so early

They didn't do well here, but they are amazing as singers with basically any song they do otherwise.

WHO IS THAT GIRL

The real problem with this performance was the fact that the lead guy seemed like a tool. Granted, part of that is due to the song, but impressions are impressions. I honestly didn't think the arrangement was nearly as bad as everyone thought it was.
