Final Fantasy VII - One Winged Angel Acapella 

More work went into this song than anything I've ever done. I hope you guys dig it!

Legend has it that sephiroth uses a whole bottle of shampoo and conditioner every time he takes a shower

Mans is literally the entire orchestra. He did this for 7 minutes straight and actually did the Latin correctly too ...can we get a round of applause for this guy

"Say the line, Bart!" "...Who's here after the Game Awards..." "Yayyy!"

Legend says that he sliced Galeem in half, and almost stabbed Mario in the chest

hmm I wonder why this may have been recommended to me now

What did we learn from this fight? Cloud, Vincent, and Tifa have more hit points than a planet.

Thanks RU-vid recomended system

One Bearded Angel

It must have been difficult to find 19 other smooth mcgrooves to do this.

After years of hearing Smooth sing his angelic whistles, bahs, tahs, dahs, claps, and snap crackle pops, I finally hear him sing LYRICS. Words. Not only am I shocked, I am astonished at how buttery smooth his actual singing voice is. Not that I was expecting anything less.

the fact that the latin vocals are actually really close is fucking terrifying.

“I’ll never be just a memory...”

Ah yes, the theme that plays when Sephiroth himself enters Smash

途中から顔を全部破壊しないと倒せないタイプのボスみたいになってて好き

Sephiroth: Gets into Smash Smooth McGroove's 6 year old video: *Business is boomin'!*

You know why I'm here.

Wow. That's all.

I can’t imagine how long this took him. Miss you, Smooth

I can imagine sephiroth singing this to himself quitley in the bathroom

Just got here after Sephiroth was confirmed for Smash. Let me say that this video is what introduced me to him and his theme. Learned about his games and battles after I got interested in this rendition! Thank you, Smooth Mcgroove!

"So, what do you do for a living?" "I BAH"

My brain added "DK, DK, DK!" at the beginning. I can never hear One Winged Angel without it again.

この人録画してるとき楽しそうだから見てて楽しいんだよな

They said it couldn't be done, they said One Winged Angel was too complicated and cool for acapella, Smooth McGroove said hold my black cat.... and they were proven wrong.

3:19 this sequence is fantastic, a great rendition, and I'm floored by your vocal range, those are some low bass notes to hit, while still being able to reach the "Gloriosa, generosa!" highs. You are incredible, McGroove!

音程の再現性がほんとにすごいんだよな、声なのに電子音にしか聞こえないっていう… スプラのシオカラ節なんかも聴いてみたい。

*HES JUST STANDING THERE... MENACINGLY*

That voice, That hair, That beard, That cat.

Released in 1997 and 24 years later still one of the best boss sound tracks in my opinion. It sends chills down your spine.

The black background and staring down the camera for the vocals was an excellent touch. Metal AF

I love how these lyrics describe Sephiroth's burning hate for everything. This song is beautiful, thank you Musical Jesus Smooth McGroove.

One can only imagine what the super nova will look like in the remake.

口だけでこれだけ完成度高いのすごすぎる…

Crazy how a nearly 20 year old song still gives me the same chills as when i first heard it

The chills. Great job, Max!

Since Sephiroth is the One Winged Angel, then SmoothMcGroove is a One Beareded Angel.

Man, McGroove that whistle of yours sounds like a straight up mixture of a clarinet and a flute. It's something else!

Singing Coach: Use your diaphragm to really make your voice clear and powerful. Smooth McGroove: It's all in the eyebrows!

Don't mind me, just looking at the recent comments.

I love that he brings his cat in during these

1:09 scared the living shit out of me

HOLY MACKEREL!!! I can see now what's kept ya so busy! This is an unworldly new height you've reached with this one. The whole dichotomy between the two groups of singers, even though they're doing the same song, it's just perfect. The ones actually singing the lyrics are so sinister too with the black background and everything! When you're used to seeing someone at a certain angle, it's a bit disarming when they're suddenly all facing you head-on (apply directly to the forehead)!

This has been one of my absolute favorites of yours for YEARS sir - the quality and craftsmanship - the attention to the detail from the intermittent notes added in (so many artists would have left them out) - absolutely love this. Love the frames with Charl - such a cool cat! I have a meowser just like him - gentile, but absolutely bad-ass. Eagerly looking forward to your return!

Been subbed to you for a long while and I come back to this video every few months and I’m as enthralled with it as i was the the first time i heard it!! Thank you bro!

Supernova >Sephiroth destroys the entire Solar System >Cloud just takes damage

If you’re seeing this smooth, I miss you dawg

3:30 That's bad luck right there, Smooth McGroove on the right

Almost 10 years ago, this man made one of if not the most legendary cover of One Winged Angel, and certainly the most impressive acapella cover of any theme or song ever made. A big thank you is not enough...!

*DESTROY THE SOLAR SYSTEM* Cloud: AAAAAAH-....wait what? Sephiroth: what? Cloud: you destroyed the solar system 2 times now already Sephiroth: and? Cloud: how? Sephiroth: well, you see i...hmph

The FF7 remake needs to have a DLC pack where all the music is replaced by Smooth.

スマブラ参戦してから定期的に聞きに来てしまう

Man after so many years, I have found your channel again! Still love it

Headstrong Centuries In a veil Ham and tea SEPIROTH!

I am still phased by the level of awesomeness in this... :'D

One of the best version of this masterpiece... I can't stop regularly coming back to it and chain listen a few dozen of times ^^ .

No comment I can make and describe my satisfaction with this video, if I knew this came out 9 years ago I'd be listening to it on a daily basis!

I just realized sepheroth has like 7 wings so saying he's a 1 winged Angel is false advertising

"Good to see you......Cloud"

By far my fav by Smooth. I could (and have) listen to this on repeat 🥰

20 PARTS!!! HOLY FUCK, SMOTHE REALLY IS JESUS!!!

scratching this off the wish list...

何度となく聴きに来てますが、何度聴いてもやっぱりもの凄い再現度…高音域が素晴らしく綺麗✨ 活動再開されて嬉しいです😊

Your ability to sync all of these different parts into one performance with no visible errors is astounding!

It's like the bohemian rhapsody of video game music

You know... There are days where I forget that he actually knows English, and not just a series of clicks bops and baa's.

いきなり始まって観た人ポカーン状態にするのも、原作へのリスペクトが感じられる

Ohhhh my gawd, I can't stop listening to this!! You freakin' nailed the whole thing and visually, you're fun to watch as well!

Sephiroth: I'm just gonna destroy the solar system and detonate the sun. Enjoy.

Latin is definitely fun to sing.

I love your version of the lyrics! Idk how to describe it but it's just so pleasing

Every once in a while I get recommended this video, and I've always clicked on it haha. Such a good cover, probably one of favorites :D

Is he going to do the vocals? 1:10 Yep, he's doing the vocals...

3:55 - 5:55 That has to be the most over the top attack I've ever seen... He destroys an entire solar system and KILLS BILLIONS to kill his intended target of 3 enemies... I'd settle with a hand grenade, personally.

I reaffirmed the charm of this song that I loved. You are wonderful.

I remember the day this video was uploaded almost 8 years ago. It's crazy how time flies. You really nailed this one. I just played FF7 original for the first time finally and beat it. What an amazing game. I can't wait for FF7 Rebirth.

3:35 .....I'm so sorry, all I hear is this, I can't stop it: Many many manly guys They've been hoarding our Cheetos

You have bought justice to one of my favourite songs of all time. Brilliant as usual.

No doubt about this is the best video from you with this greatest theme of all time and forever!

This is insanely amazing, there's no words to describe how much it's good.

It was real nice of Sephiroth to spare Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. What a swell guy!

I think this is the best song in this channel so far

I would like to say Smooth Mcgroove if you may find yourself reading this, this was truly astounding and I really appreciate you doing this song, I am a huge fan of Final Fantasy 7 am you did an amazing job covering this song, it was truly impressive and I appreciated it. Thank you so much for making it! I listen to it every once and awhile because it so good so thank you once again!

0:58 Cloud’s sword slashes are timed with the music :)

*blows up entire sun and solar system* "Don't worry guys! I have a phoenix down!"

If that's what Sephiroth's final move looks like on the PS1, I wonder how it would look on the remake...

This is by far the best one... the part when you have to actually sing make's me shivers. Really worthy of a Boss Battle!!! PLEASE, I NEED MORE VIDEOS! i MISS IT SO MUCH!

This one probably took forever to even arrange because of all the parts involved for the instrumental and then the choir on top of that. Lots of respect to you, Mr. McGroove. Well done.

Thanks RU-vid. I'm only 5 years late.

Xbox PS3 DS Lite and the Wii SEPHIROTH!

This song alone made me decide to play this game, and, it was fantastic! Thank you so much smooth!

its honestly amazing that he can be both intimidating and soothing at the same time

3:00 who else waits for this transition in every version of this song

His cats like "I Don't Know What's Going On But I Like It!"

This was 8 years ago? My gawd - better late than never. I was mesmerized by this. Awesome, awesome!

この曲も歌ってたのかw 0:30 指揮振ってる猫ちゃんかわいすぎる

lmao supernova took like 60% of the ps1 disc
