The Newfangled Four - A Newfangled Tango 

Ain’t that the truth

wow right ass i read your comment saying i hate you guys the song says i hate you guys.

@Kristopher Chavez you're actually not supposed to hear them..

You know you're not supposed to hear them right?

@Kristopher Chavez the baritone is supposed to make the chords work and blend with the other 3 parts, not be heard on it's own

In this the bari ends up singing some melody. The way that the parts were split up is perfect

@@theunicornquinntheunicornq6062 You Gotta Change Parts - Instant Classic

His look ajakakja just "uAGAHHAKAajjaa okay frick uh-"

It's my favorite part

That whole chord was just so enjoyable how they blended into each other. Pure eargasm. Awesome.

From "why’d you" on for that few measures was absolute joy

That seamless transition in and out of that ragtime feel 😍

Was it just a G on octaves?

@@GaninIsMyName 2 years late, it's a minor chord but it was blended so perfectly that it's amazing

I love it, when I first noticed it I was like that’s absolutely amazing and fit’s the mood of the chart so well

Funny Jones i hate this but i have to respect this as a fact bc it is

You're right and I hate that

I completely agree and I dont know why- is it because you're right? I think it is!

yes

I hate how right you are

That was in the song the previous year as well. I believe it is intentional to add more comedy to the piece

IM DEAD FR

Nah did you see how Jake’s eyebrows start to furrow? That man was pissed 😭😭

Its easier when you watch his lips.

The baritone is supposed to mix the other harmonies to give it a fuller sound :) It's good at what he does.

rexxed757 they do

TheNewfangledFour i stan join me

You’re not gonna believe this…. THEY HAVE A CHANNEL.

They have a channel

Lol

the term you're looking for is countermelody, and yes it's quite rare in barbershop - the standard practice is for it to be in unison for almost the whole song

@@frozenfeet4534 thank you for the info! 😊

"Throwback" and "Signature" references....and they coulda called this song an "Instant Classic" , too

They have 2 win's under their belt as well. One in 2013

@@slugerknot well yes, but they are at college level and a district competition. The highest they placed in internationals was 6th in 2018 & 19

Same, it sounds incredible

It's happened!

Edwardzzzz9 They Didn't Win...

They made the top 10, I believe. Hoping 2018 will be their year.

Maisie Summers specifically they got sixth right? They keep inching forward. They are future winners that's for sure

Yep came 6th this year. In 2014 they were 16th. In 2015 they were 14th. In 2016 they were 11th. In 2017 they finally broke the top 10, coming 9th. Then in 2018 placed 6th. So here's hoping they're top 3 next year.

2023. Still on it?

@@Yes-yv9zs why yes I am :)

@@jeremygmail Impressive

They should totally try to do something like this!!!

Is it cause they are three white guys and an Asian (I think) who are best friends doing what they love and are really funny?

Rosie Rennie - You got the loveable one (Joey-Keith), the awkward one (Ryan-Zac), the charismatic one (Jake-Eugene) and the dad one (Jackson/Jaxon- Ned). The Barbershop Trys.

Not sure how it's an insult. Both groups are great. One just sings, the other trys things they haven't before or that's not common for guys to do.

Daniel Pham I didn't get it...

Hello Judy How are you doing today?

Part of the performance, it’s supposed to look that way, but if he actually forgot he wouldn’t make such a show of it

But look at jakes face at that part I think he did mess up

See previous performance, same actions

They finished 11th place last year, 9th place this year!

how you guys know ? is there is a website ?

www.barbershop.org/contests/contest-results It's a bit late, but here's the site including their 6th place finish this year.

6th twice in a row. That has to be a motivation killer. I hope they improved enough to be able to get 5th this year.

signature is the name of another quartet i think

I think it's an f#, but they have a B undertone on the tag which is unbelievable

There’s definitely a screamin’ B overtone there... Joey Buss is too good!

honestly same. I'm in a call with a friend and he heard me giggling and called me out on it. I have never been so adamant about something sounding this amazing before.

Literally same like it’s just so nice to my ears lol

Absolute BUTTA

I genuinely love it

Hello Linda How are you doing today?

Minus me being in a quartet myself, I experienced the same thing lol.

Any recommendations? Ive been trying hard to find other quartet that i could like, but nothing

@@MisterShaggyDoo Well, barbershop can be quite intense and it takes some time to get used to the sound. It took me a couple months to start listening to anything besides NF4, it really is an acquired taste. Main Street is another quartet that’s quite accessible for people who haven’t listened to a lot of barbershop yet. My favourite quartet now is Instant Classic, their ballads were definitely a little too much for me at first (I love them now) but their uptunes were quite fun from the beginning. Another one is Ringmasters, their sound is not as bright as Instant Classic’s which made it a little easier for my ears to adjust - their legendary Notre Dame Medley was the first song of theirs I listened to and it’s still one of my favourite barbershop performances of all time. Also, if you can, I would really recommend learning some tags to sing yourself. Even if you don’t have anyone to sing with, just find some tag videos on youtube to sing along with. That’s how I got started and it really helped me find my way into the harmonies.

I started with Ringmasters and then went to NF4, and now I still listen to them and older and somewhat newer quartets

i'm guessing it was a real cough, cause you see jake keep futzing with his nose throughout the rest of the performance ;D

Hello Erica How are you doing today?

Scoresheet is here: www.barbershop.org/files/INTL20170705_QF.OSS1.pdf
