Best Acapella You"ll Ever Hear

[Mirage]

Dare I say this is the best acapella song you'll ever hear?

YouTube - Teenage Dream & Just the way you are - Acapella Cover - Katy Perry - Bruno Mars - Mike Tompkins

YouTube - I'm Yours - Jason Mraz (acapella cover)

100% human voice.

If you know of a better one, please share!

I thought it was pretty cool.

Always amazing to see what the human voice is capable of.

I really liked that first, one, I actually can't stand the song but the actual performance itself was great.

However, while calling this acapella it's important to take into account that they obviously were using headphones with a part (or the whole song, I don't know) playing into their ears, it's significantly easier not only to stay on perfect pitch but also perfect rhythm, I think that the most skillful type of acapella is groups singing live in just one cut.

YouTube - Take 6 - Star-Spangled Banner

or this one...

YouTube - Celtic Thunder - Danny Boy
The earpieces they wear are monitors speakers not the song.


Not to say that those other 2 above aren't amazing. But I'll bet it's a lot harder to do it live (I know somebody that does both).

On that first one I think that it's amazing to make your voice sound that much like an electric guitar, I'd swear it's a real one.

I really like Celtic Thunder. They've got quite a few songs where they drop all equipment and just sing like in this one. Big time Talents.

lol this one reminded me of Chaos for some reason :hah:

Sorry to bump this thread, but I just learned yesterday that one of my good friends went to Engineering School with this guy and became real good friends with him. Supposedly he's a really nice guy and he's Engineer genuis. He's one of the biggest Music guys in Canada right now, and he's currently working with Timberland.
