It looks like with the constant negative comments they seem to be getting lately, it seems certain now that they are coming on a 3rd or 4th place finish...i'm guessing 4th at this point based on who the judges are pimping really.
they sang Janet Songs of "What Have You Done For Me" & "When I Think Of You" & "Miss You Much"
I do think this group has the best groove out of everyone left so far and they do do R&B justice. However i'm not so sure i liked this performance...i guess it was good but i don't think i would listen to it again and again. This group like delilah has its ups and downs which is probably why they aren't heading to that 1st or 2nd place finish. B-

They are the MOST TALENTED group that has ever been on the show. Vocal jazz is incredibly hard to pull off. Afro Blue deserves to win because their arrangements are so complex and so incredible.

@TheGodsRain 10 лет назад

These guys are SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED!!!

@benjierooster 11 лет назад

that first transition with the scat was pure genius because those two songs are so different. i was grooving my little but off through the whole thing. i did feel like during the second transition it got a little off, like i couldn't quite find the song for a second but holy crap am i impressed with this group.

@liamsmith9401 11 лет назад

the scat along with the bass was amazing

@its_uhlaynuh 12 лет назад

the sing off WAS NOT READY FOR AFRO BLUE...they are VOCAL BEASTS...hands down my favorite group ! !

@1fnfigi 8 лет назад

I still love this arrangement! I love that it was so technical I loved the song transitions. This was just brilliant

@licoreen 12 лет назад

I disagree with judge Shawn's comment that their transitions were too complicated. Transitions were awesome. Judge Sara said she got lost in the middle. Maybe it's because I'm more familiar with the three songs, but I can't understand how she got lost. They sang the most iconic line of each song before they launched into them. It's like reading the title before you read the book. Incredible performance.

@whitewing811 12 лет назад

They will always be my favorite group. It's so refreshing to have a group as smooth as them on the Sing-Off! They always choose the challenging songs too. I think out of all the medleys last night, they had the hardest one, and for what its worth I think they did great! Can't wait to see what their Rock and Country songs are :)

@ianjames537 12 лет назад

The transitions here were really smooth. The first one was so seamless that it only dawned on me that they had changed songs 5 or 10 seconds into the second song. I'm not much of a jazz fan, but even I can tell that these guys are good at what they do.

At first I was like "Huh?" but the more I listened to this, the more I understood the thought that went to the songs and I'm loving it each time!

they were my favorites from the beginning -- I hope they have gotten some sort of contract out of this.. Christie is the bomb!

@Cmisah 12 лет назад

I LOOOOOVE 2:48 OMG. i love jazz even more. It really didn't matter what the judges say at the end of it, AFRO BLUE IS AHHHMAZING!!!

@Lunaedea7 12 лет назад

@trepid23 ABSOLUTELY! I first listened to this and thought it was such a mess, but now I can truly say that I believe this was one of their best performances...so ambitious, very brave, and it truly sounds fantastic!

@lesleympf7 12 лет назад

THEY SHUD HAVE WON THIS...

@TheZWhite 12 лет назад

Listening to this the judges didn't give them their due. The performance grows on you. It's hard to make a snap judgement which the judges have to do. The judges were wrong on this.

@Patonomousthestrange 12 лет назад

Danielle killed the dancing.

@Waldo525 12 лет назад

This young group reminds me of the stellar group MANHATTAN TRANSFER! I look forward to hearing lots from them. However, this 'What have you done for me lately' is the performance of theirs that I like least...but otherwise, a stage full of TALENT!

@johhnnww 12 лет назад

I think is my favorite so far !

@Polylovelingo124 12 лет назад

Actually they haven't been gettin constant negative comments...."I wanna dance with somebody" was the only song they were really lectured on, and it wasn't much. It wasn't until Rock and Country week were theyy started goin downhill, because of the jugdges of course. I love this medley! I don't like medley's but dang they really made the transistions really smooth and connected.

@webbec 12 лет назад

I loved it when Danielle did When I Think of You!

@jehudongzkie4502 3 дня назад

Mind Blown

@carlotta4th 12 лет назад

I like how "into it" they were. Those lady soloists were really ENJOYING that, and it made it all the more fun to watch. =D Side note: I was wondering why Vocal Point used Elvis instead of Michael Jackson (like I assumed they would), and this may be why. The show didn't need two Jackson medleys.

@SirMTB 12 лет назад

The scatting is sick, and how the heck they managed to incorporate it into a janet jackson song!! Ahhhh! So glad this show got cancelled this season. Not sure I could've watched another kick ass group go home after they should have at least gotten 2nd!

@drowsybrowser 12 лет назад

Bluuuuuuuuuuuuue!

@peachie0keen 12 лет назад

I loved Afro Blue, and I adore Janet forever. Her songs have some of THE best breakdowns I have ever heard, and I don't think Afro Blue utilized them like they could have. This medley was well done, but they could have chosen songs better suited for acapella, like maybe Love Will Never Do, Lonely...the song Alright would have been PERFECT for them! Anyway they were my favorite and I was totally pressed when they had to go home. DC, wassup!

@DTARNOLD1971 12 лет назад

I can't wait to hear the vocal group Caucasian-Red's take on this song.

@lilachs78 11 лет назад

My favourite performance!

@mrnegrocheese2 11 лет назад

The scat was sick^^

@johhnnww 12 лет назад

I think this one is my favorite so far !

@johhnnww 12 лет назад

That Was Awsome! They are so great!

@wbradley1372 12 лет назад

It appears that the critiques from the past weeks are starting to make Afro-Blue second-guess their arrangements, in hopes of finding that sweet spot between "over-our-heads jazzy" and pedestrian. To heck with that, I say...why deviate from what works? Giving the middle song a jazzy feel really worked, and I would've liked it if it was even *jazzier*. I get the feeling the judges really don't know what to do with these guys. Too good to send home, but their album wouldn't have mass appeal...

@FastFreddyATL 12 лет назад

2:56 Best Song EVER!!!!!!!!!!

@cdcotr 12 лет назад

There's no question this group has great skill but I'm with Sarah on this one, there were parts where I was lost too and felt it was getting too complicated But it was fun to watch anyway.

@artcar88 12 лет назад

So basically their music isn't dumb enough for the mainstream? pftt! sad news

@tefnutbellsouthnet 11 лет назад

Really incredible Afro-blue beautiful

@3912James 12 лет назад

4:17....this lady remind me of Holly Robinson Peete.

@9orbetter 12 лет назад

I believe Shawn was wrong on this one. To me their transitions weren't that complex. They modulated to go into the 2nd song (which was in a higher key) and a drum/dance (with smooth chords) transition to go into "I Miss You Much"... nothing was over-thought here. Ben Folds comments were on point and Sara's "to ambitious" comments didn't make sense. Keep doing your thang Afro Blue! Looking forward to seeing you in the final four!!

in the Thesaurus, another word for smooth is Afro Blue

@webbec 12 лет назад

What Have You Done For Me Lately and Miss You Much didn't do much for me, but I did enjoy When I Think of You. Not one of their best performances, but I still love Afro Blue! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about what's gonna happen on monday it being country/rock week though.

@TheEnjayn 12 лет назад

Everyone failed 2 impress bcoz medleys r hard. Of all groups, dis 1 hs challenged itself the most dis season. Dey have stretched themselves a lot and sound different each tym. It may seem easier to support others who seem 2 maintain their overal sound & image - dey seem to stay in a comfort zone at times and that makes it boring. You can almost predict that Urban Method will do Hip Hop while Pentatonix sing powerful perfomances only. Yet AB usually surprise me. So Props for da versatility guys.

@88tinyteena 12 лет назад

Stop pointing out the white girl. This group is not racist, if they were, she wouldn't even be in the group. The film editors edited the film that way to show how serious the group was when it comes to rehearsing. Probably Elisa received more strictness in this rehearsal because she was complaining and wasn't pay attention. They all treat each other that way to keep the group focused and on track. Elisa was just captured on camera... that's all. I LOVE AFRO-BLUE!!!!

@hawknelsonbirdy 12 лет назад

They are either going to get 4th or 5th, they will probably get edged out for the finale

@drowsybrowser 12 лет назад

JAZZ PERFORMANCE MAJORS. that is all.

@lone6718 11 лет назад

At times musicians can make something too complicated. Which other musicians can appreciate at times. But they are a Jazz group and jazz music as some of the more complex arrangements, so its not everyone's cup of tea. I thought the scat was over done - myself - but I have never been one for jazz.

@MissBrice-yv8pj 3 года назад

I agree

@11792654 12 лет назад

wanna see danielle and michael from the aires do a duet or command a stage together. their flavors are so similarr

@zorb350 12 лет назад

I mean seriously...Pentatonix had the most ambitious arrangements and transitions out of anybody and the judges didn't dock them on that.

@Heavenlydancer10 12 лет назад

@Lunaedea7 I felt the same way at first and then I listened to it again later on and realized they actually did a really good job.

@healthhavencom 12 лет назад

@michmirich 11 лет назад

I loved the Scat, it was brillance but i think it fell flat 'cause they spent to much time on them. they were supposed to be transitions not solos.

@MsPnutbutta5 12 лет назад

I have a huge crush on Reggie ^-^

@out_in_the_reeds 12 лет назад

I'm a huge jazz fan, and I liked what they did with each tune, but I wasn't as comfortable with the way they transitioned between tunes. It was like putting a Hemi in my 04 Chevy Cav. Great engine, just doesn't fit the vehicle.

@Heavenlydancer10 12 лет назад

Not my favorite performance, but I am still pro Afro-blue!!!!

@Curandera99 8 лет назад

Incredibly talented musicians, every single one and as a group truly amazing! But that was not Janet Jackson. Yeah, they shouldn't copy her exactly but the trick is to make it their own AND meet the challenge. The scat was perfection because it led into the song like it was made that way. But some of the other transitions were tangential to the music at best. I also felt there were too many solos. Some more harmonizing and choreography of 3 at a time would give it more of a Janet Jackson feel.

@dirgewordsmithe 8 лет назад

I dunno, this was one of my favorites from them & that scat transition was the best part, also liked the second transition as well, but I could see how it coulda been done a little better; I was young in the 80s, so they captured everything I remember about those songs, never a big Janet fan, but heard em ALL THE TIME & to me these guys blazed a new path down 'Memory Lane'. Any issues I can think of would probably be with the last part, she didn't start off strong. Overall, LOVED this medley..

@Deerych 6 лет назад

It was too advanced for basic ears. This performance is for the more musically inclined. If you truly have an ear for hearing harmonies and organizing chords and melodies...you would get how amazing this performance was.

@diamondwebster1221 4 года назад

@Dee Rich Facts. This was one of my favorite performances from them. As soon as they started singing I knew which songs they were singing. Of course it was too seasoned for the musically uninclined.

@EvilLoynis 11 лет назад

It's because Pentatonix nailed the things they did while AB always fell short. Can I ask did you see the Urban Methods Dancer to the Music performance? That was so great and so NOT what I expected from them but more from AB. I also dislike the fact that AB was in the bottom 2 4 friggin times before they got elminated. Sadly VP really earned their elimination with how they messed up a Temptations song, sheesh had to cover my ears on that one. Ambitious arrangements only get docked if you MISS

@timboooski 12 лет назад

@eklektikeegle I really don't understand sean sara's comments about not knowing what song their doing I had no problem the transitions where bad ass but thats my opinon this group is no doubt the best but I do like others like pentatonix and delilah and the deltonesbut it's not up to me it's up to those bonk ass judges who don't have a good ear for music

@webbec 12 лет назад

@3912James I know right she's got the same hairstyle and everything

@bob89797 12 лет назад

I do admit it is harder for me to get into this performance than previous performances but it's most likely b/c i'm not a fan of Janet in general. Not saying Janet is bad, just not my thing

@rednetsyen 12 лет назад

the judges only provide lame comments so that they can give everyone else in the competition a fair go, because obviously, everyone else needs all the help they can get against afroblue. this is on crack, i swear. so crazy. and so so much love.

@iAMnicey 12 лет назад

LOVE the outfits!! but not my fave performance as well. i think they overdid the songs when they can do it simply, i agree with sean.

@Polylovelingo124 12 лет назад

To be honest, the only negative comment they got ever on the show was on I wanna Dance with Somebody....and that wasn't erally all bad, they just missed a middle section and their "diction" wasn't great(though I disagree). They kicked right back into gear with Hip-hop week and was one of the first groups to be safe. So they don't really have ups and downs...just ups with one "middle". By the By, that (excuse my wording) white chick cannot sing(I would've said her name but I forgot it).

@trepid23 12 лет назад

@TrantisionerMarin I think they edited that to look like the group was being rude to the white girl. Yeah I noticed it and I was like woah they just dissed Elisa twice, but you never know with this pre-taped videos. Sometimes they just manipulate the editing too much.

@rockon1cat 7 лет назад

They are in a league of their own with this one! The technical complexity of this arrangement is incredible, but definitely not to everyone's taste...

@SoftPretzleLuver 12 лет назад

This is the only song they did that actually was kinda good. Other than that they should have been gone along time ago!

@kurisucosmo7954 8 лет назад

This is their weakest performance so far. Great musicality, but their arrangement lacked their usual polish I think and great harmonization. It just wasn't a spectacular performance like I'm used to from them. To be honest, it was just kind of boring

@katieoberst490 8 лет назад

These guys are technically perfect, but I didn't love the arrangement. They just overthink some of these things.

@vaeugene 12 лет назад

Everyone has their opinions. I love this group and they should have won this competition, but this was their weakest performance. Especially with Dartmouth Aires killing their performance on the same night. But they should have won overall. Most diverse and musically rich group.

@spke532 3 года назад

The white chic did not help. Really set it back for me.

@benignism 12 лет назад

poor white girl, she got no say at all in that group...

@YaDiva1973 12 лет назад

So in other words, they are too sophisticated. How sad. I guess we will be stuck with the dummed down crap record companies continue to push out these days.

@TrantisionerMarin 12 лет назад

Wow i dont like their entrance video that are treating that white girl so rude. I mean ya i dunno her or how she acts but honestly, why would you want ppl to see you talking to her like that on national tv? I know they want money and all but smh they dont have to be nasty to her.
