Yeah I love it! I remember with that evolution of girl groups video they seemed to really focus on the middle three, so the beatboxer and bass were a bit overshadowed, which is a shame because they're amazing so I'm glad they changed it!
Oh my goodness! This arrangement is absolutely amazing. I'm a female who sings tenor. But, that bass blew my mind! She sounded like a bass guitar at times! God Bless you ladies for sharing your magnificent gifts with us all!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@Lèmon Lēe I said those two in R&B specifically. I love the whole group as a whole but their voices are not something to be fucked with if they got into that genre on their own. Of course I want them to succeed as a unit, but if they ever do separate (which I hope not!) I hope Nina, Cora, and Hannah succeed in Pop music and Kaylah and Kaedi to succeed in R&B.
Lol, that isn't accuracy. That is auto-tune - for all of them. Plus, it isn't a cappella, when there is a drum machine in top of the recording. Not saying she can't beatbox. I bet she is probably really good, but like this, the producer shows no trust in his talent.
I know Hannah didn’t get a lead in this but she definitely kept the mix and was the glue for those harmonies. The three leads were amazing as always and Cora on beatbox…. Perfection!
Different Mic's, totally Different wardrobes, Different hair, and the beautifully different voices. But when they harmonize,WOW, life does get much better , thank you Ladies
Hermosas voces,la chica de cabello verde sobra ,esta demás,no aporta,no canta ,esos sonidos los hace un niño o un equipo de música...las demás excelentes 👌bella interpretación.
@@yelinanoe7458 The green haired girl is actually making the percussion noises. The black girl on the far right can make similar noises too (sorry I haven't remember their names yet). You will notice most a capella groups have one or two people who can make percussion nioses. It adds another layer to the music. Very beautiful. Edit: corrected spelling and I would love to have replied back in your language but I don't know it well enough.
@@yelinanoe7458 todos los grupos acapella tienen un integrante que hace el beatboxing y uno que hace el bajo que, en conjunto con las voces en armonía, hacen que las canciones suenen más completas, supliendo los instrumentos. Cora, la chica del pelo verde, tiene una muy linda voz también, en un par de canciones canta, pero su rol principal es la percusión. Con Kaedi pasa lo mismo, generalmente hace más la línea de bajo, pero su voz es hermosa también. Todas juntas son el complemento perfecto. Puedes ver lo que te digo en otros grupos acapella como Pentatonix, Home Free y Voiceplay.
A week later and, holy shit, I'm seriously, seriously, addicted. Like, every day. Music at its zenith is harmonics, but these girls take harmony a level above. 'Tre', finally, you have been bested, but it took 20 years. I now want to get rich, take over the world, and create a cathedral in which these ladies can sing and record the reason life evolved in the first place.
She deserves some serious respect for those skills, she slipped through at least 6 different time signatures seamlessly. She's like a set of drums and synth keyboard in one.
Why are these ladies not setting the radios on fire? They sound incredible! I was searching for something else and found this video…and eventually found their other songs/covers. Seriously, why are we not hearing more of them?
Its very rare that an artist or group get to show their real talent. Most sell watered down generic things for public consumption. Its much easier to sell lower standards, than to ask the masses to raise theirs.
QUEENS! So grateful that you are releasing music again. I remember you performing this live in Oakland, CA and Tahoe, CA. Y'all brought the house down both times.
Solid cover. World Class Vocals, harmony, lead vocal, bio beat. I like the simple, humble background prop. No visual gimmicks, just pure sound. Nice job. 😎
I love too much this version. Since ROBERTA sang it I fell in love with this song. I am 62 but listening to this wonderful melody I go back to my youngest days. LONG LIFE TO THE GOOD MUSIC.
I have always looked and felt that A'capella singing is not only beautiful , but needed. It is what is missing from music and should have its own category. These beautiful and talented young women deserve more than applause. The arrangementis gorgeous. Makes me appreciate the production genius of the original sung by the great Roberta Flack even more. I look forward to hearing more from these ladies in the future. Hopefully they will stay to together and grow together as a group give to the world of today's music the opportunity to respect true talent like this and redeem itself.
A capella music is so under rated these days, I'd love to hear more groups doing it. Forget all those instruments, vocal harmonies are always far more interesting and any group that can sing in harmony well together can save a fortune on all those expensive guitars and such. Why pay a thousand bucks for a drum set when a good beatboxer can make every sound it makes and then some?
@@0688hall I watched both of those movies on Netflix. They were so good, not sure of the names now, but the Asian looking beat boxer had this thing where she was in the background trying to imitate new sounds she heard others doing. Wasn't so keen on the second movie though, the ending was more like a chior than a capella.
kind of off topic but i love how citizen queen is always real about their skin/bodies. like in this video, i love how you can see their skin texture, even though they're obviously glammed up. and in their tiktoks i love that they aren't afraid about showing their natural bodies (eg. no extreme poses that emphasize skinny waist/photoshop etc). i hope this doesn't come off as back-handed bc i genuinely appreciate how they're showing how they are normally, considering the toxic beauty standards we have (and how there's literally a filter for everything these days). YOU QUEENS ARE ALL SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN'T
It's always the same thing... Another Fifth Harmony making stellar debut, but then breaking up after a few years, all these bands are after the spotlight, not really into music.
@@carkod except fifth harmony was forcefully put together by a talent show and this group just gathered together and started creating music on their own. I say they're closer to Cimorelli and 4th Impact than Fifth Harmony nor Little Mix.
@@carkod not to mention, this group has clearer roles which each member wholeheartedly accept. There is a person whose main is for the lower notes, there's someone for beatbox, someone for middle notes, someone for high notes. They also have very clear distinction on who brings what flavor to the performance. That's unlike Fifth Harmony where everyone is vying for whatever main character roles there are (adlibs, high notes, main melodies, etc.) This group is definitely a whole lot more versatile in distribution of roles, prioritizing art over profit. Fifth Harmony was being promoted while prioritizing the most popular members. Not to hate on the members, it's how dirty the industry goes and seems to be why they ended up the way they did.
Old enough to remember when this first came out.Always found that the original was very haunting to me. You should be very proud of this rendition.Absolutely amazing.Love to you all.❤️🧡💚💜💛
I don't remember hearing the original on the radio in 1972. I believe it wasn't a big success. I do remember Roberta's interpratation and I didn't like it much at that time (Iwas into rock music.) Decades later when The Fugees recorded their version I learned to appriciated what Roberta did with her cover though I still prefer Lori's version.
NEVER, ever get tired of listening to this song. Absolutely love their cover....maybe better than the original. Every one of these beautiful women brings something special to this song.
I can't believe I haven't heard of these ladies yet! So great! The beatboxer on the end and the lady at the other end with the incredibly warm tones- so awesome! I'm going to do a deep dive and find more of their songs.
So glad to see more music from y'all! Original or covers, I just love hearing your voices and those incredible harmonies! You absolutely nailed this cover!
First time listening to this literally gave me chills and goosebumps simultaneously! Who does that in today's hit em hard music. This is the classic love song brilliantly re produced! Very, very cool!
This is the craziest group I’ve ever seen. You ladies are radiating beauty from the inside out and every way possible. Everything from the looks the style the sound it’s so beautiful and perfect. I’m so happy I ran across you ladies you just gained a new fan I am completely captivated, absolutely incredible!
