@@aaronevens9086 Wow. This is one of the most emotional handicapped comments I have read, especially in this community. Ryan doesn't need anyone to stand up for him, because nobody attacked him in the first place, but I refuse to let you threaten people this way without consequence. Please do not attend any barbershop events without a massive therapy session and substantial mental rehabilitation.
Damn the Baritone part with Jake's little sizzle was so smooth. The NF4's always been the best at putting their individual characters and personality into their work and this song was built around Marcus wonderfully. Great way to bring him into the group in a big way on a big stage.
That's a very interesting and true thought. Now that I think about it, almost each one of their songs this year is based on one of them: Joe Re Mi - obviously Joe Zazz - Marcus Stonehenge - Jason Though I haven't found what song is based on Jake, maybe he doesn't need one because he's awesome, or his section and the good looks joke in Insecurities are enough for him.
It is so much fu😂n to focus on Jake from the start of the performance to the end. He is so animated and appears to be having lots of fun the entire time. He brings such amazing energy to this group!
I think that's what he does. He reminds me of the extraordinary energy and commitment Kevin Kline always brought to his performances, I get the same feeling.
There is literally nothing I don't love about this performance, except that it ends. The mini-me routine from 3:45 is particularly endearing, but the whole thing is superb. Probably my favorite of all their songs, if I had to pick.
I may have spent the entire second half of the song wondering if Joey dropping his pocket square was going to be an intentional bit or just an accident
i went and listened to the original version(s) of this song, and i gotta say i think NF4 genuinely improved the song here. just feels more lively and energetic, and some of the rhymes work a lot better.
I’m playing trombone for a production of The Prom. The coincidence of one of my favourite quartets also singing a piece from that musical made me so happy!
WOW this was ringing and fabulous. They have a good ear for the chords, it just feels natural and easy. Not, like, overly precise for the sake of it, just right on the money. Love it.
I love the style New Fangled puts into their performances, all their lovely personalities is what drew me to start watching more barabershop quartet performances, I wanted to see more stage presence like the one they had, and am now a consistent follower of theirs and the Harmony Society! Thank you New Fangled Four for being so amazing! And y Thank you barbershop Harmony society for being a source for non-stop shop songs for everyone here on the internet!
Oh em GEEEE you guys! Amazing! Already so impressive, considering Marcus has only been here for a little while. Genuinely one of your best songs - more laid back than some others, but _so_ on-point.
If anything I think this song being more laid-back is to its benefit. Not every song needs to be high-energy crazy slapstick all the time, and it contrasts perfectly with the over-the-top intensity of Stonehenge immediately after.
Its funny when looking at the views on the videos in the channel, everyone has hundreds of views except for NF4, they're well over a thousand views each video.
This is probably why none of the NF4 videos got dropped early for public viewing on RU-vid - BHS knows what they're doing...saving the most in demand videos for last!
It's in the title : it's from the musical The Prom, so the music was written by Matthew Sklar and the lyrics by Chad Beguelin, but Kohl Kitzmiller did the arrangement.
