If record companies had any brains, they would sign Abby Franklin immediately.
Everyone keeps complaining that they're pitchy, but they don't include the fact that the artists that we all love are pitchy at times. This is an acapella group where your voice is drowned out by others. Of course it's difficult to have them all be perfect all at the same time. Which of YOUR artist's original songs aren't edited? Yeah, there are artists who are great live and sounds just as great as their studio version. But let's be realistic, they aren't perfect all the time. And their studio version sure as hell is edited. These guys worked hard and practiced hard to get to this level, and it's amazing and definitely admirable. Learn to appreciate and enjoy the music. That's why they put it up here. They're spreading the music, stop spreading animosity.
The assumed search for perfection aside, the pitchiness seems to be a result of lack of blend caused by focusing too much on their own parts after a slip somewhere near 1:35. A cappella is literally all about control, blend, and dynamics, if something goes amiss, the sound is doomed to fail. They are all very talented and there's no taking away from that or the music itself, but as an a cappella group of that level, especially collegiate, they should know how to fix a blending issue the moment problems start occurring. During a performance, that can only be done through non-verbal communication with each other, not blind self-tuning. The fact that didn't happen shows that they were either off their A-game or brought personal matters onto the stage with them, which is understandable, but you don't praise or excuse a mistake on the basis that people are insulting them for it. Simple correction will suffice - it happened, yes, but as a talented group that can bring such a good sound to a studio, they'll get 'em next time. For now, we just enjoy the music and take it as it is. (and yes, I understand this is a comment from 3 years ago for a group that doesn't have the same composition of people anymore, but I figured it would be decent information to bring along for future reference. Defense won't do any good when you're making a moot point... group a cappella is an entirely different animal from mainstream solo/band vocals)
She should seriously be famous.
She would have married jb and used her money on crashing cars in her backyard.
Foogle O LOL
Everyone needs to realize the HUGE differences between performing a song live with nerves and all, and standing in a calm and quiet recording studio. Seriously they're all extremely talented...all performers in the world need to improve in some aspect of their skills...
***** That's true, but the balance/pitch issues can be easily solved with a better sound experience (i.e. all on individual mics).
But what if it was a competition? You can't be that pitchy at competitions. I think they couldn't hear each other well at all. They're really good, and I don't think nerves would get in the way that much. Maybe for the first few phrases, but if they could hear each other they might have been able to pull together.
Music is an art experienced in time and space. If you can't [perform], what's the point?
Thank you...
Milo Barer you are correct . Although, this horrendous. As performers, we need to be told when our chops/pitch/timing is off. This is awful. I've heard them do much better live.
So many goosebumps , I love the arrangement and the soloist is phenomenal ❤️
Her voice is so uniquely beautiful. I could listen to this a thousand times.
the solo's voice is very beautiful, love it!
chills, literal goosebumps, chills. amazing
Abby was BRILLIANT
I'm no expert here and i don't know what these people are commenting about... I found them pretty amazing..
No one that hasn't had to perform a song as hard as this one on stage has no right to judge you
the power and control that,l this leader singer has is OTHERWORLDLY!!! girl... I beg of you. if you're reading this... PLEASE... put yourself out there. There are BIG THINGS that your voice has potential of doing!!!!!
This looks like one of those moments in people's lives which serves as a reference point for everything else. Fantastic stuff
First of all. Amazing job! I really love the sound you guys are able to produce.
I'm slightly annoyed by the harsh comments down here, honestly, I have no idea who you guys are I just got here via the studio version and found both versions marvellous. I have a good ear for pitch problems, and I'm not going to lie that there weren't any, but this was really great. People seem to have no idea how hard it is to be with a group and being in sync, and with that I mean your pitch and rhythm. This group has beautiful sound, and the studio version being 'better' than this one is not surprising, you get everyone as loud as you want and can record your mistakes over and over until you do it right. Give these some credit, it's a very hard song and even with those flaws it's still a great performance.
My thoughts exactly, Remi!
I'd like a hundred times if I could. AMAZING
OMFG that girl's voice... please please please keep going share that voice with all of us
Holy goosebumps 👌
This takes my breath away every time I watch it. Absolutely outstanding!
So... you guys are sickkkk. Soloist smashes this. Thanks for making awesome music!
Just bought the studio version on iTunes
I have no words to describe how difficult this song is. We're learning it in my A cappella group at the moment. Good Lord the negative comments from people is outrageous. You all as a whole might have missed a couple notes, but you are humans not auto tuned synthesized robots. You guys killed it and I would love to see anyone do it better live, because they won't. Bravo!!!
OMG The lead on this song is beautiful and has amazing control of her voice. I would love to see her sing live!!!
THIS IS AMAZING!! I can't stop watching this!! I wish we had an acapella group like this at my college.
Great harmony and wonderful solo!
Haunting! In an amazing way. Stunning. Omg goosebumps
gives me chills every single time.
Haunting. So haunting. Beautiful.
Amazing
chills
This is just amazing favorite accapella group and amazing song to sing to
Second time watching this and I still get goosebumps yall are amazing keep it going!!
Jesus, what was this? Incredible! Amazing!
Listening to this song blazed is like entering a whole new dimension!! So awesome!
Omg, live version is even better than studio one. 3:14 just blew my mind away.
no matter how good you do, there will still be haters. anyway, I love you guys!
Lovely! I really like it!!
El Aplauso final, ese aplauso final!. No las pude contener, después de tanta piell de gallina ese aplauso del final me hizo derramar lagrimas de absoluta emoción! que voz flacaaaaa!! De la puta madre !
Heartwarming
Gente, vocês são incríveis! Eu iria aplaudir até minha mão cair se estivesse nessa plateia rsrsrs PARABÉNS
I don't even know what to say, just outstanding. Absolutely beautiful, and that soloist is incredible.
Just wow!
Beautifull and hard to sing this in live. Some little problems with the balance of the different voices but it's amazing.
The chills..
This is absolutely the best cover of this song I have heard on youtube. Good job everyone!
insane. so amazing! your voices are fabulous
Best a Capella !!
Beautiful!! Beautiful!!! TY.
Abby held it down the whole time!
Good singing your voices a are wonderful
Yes, Queen!
wow. I've been in a youtube blackhole for chandelier covers....this is ..........wow.
amazing.
You guys rock!
me encanta
Brasileira? amei demais
THIS!
Pitch issues no doubt, but at the collegiate stage, you learn to listen and adapt. Unfortunately, none of that happened. Altos went off immediately, the group never adjusted and the soloist took off into a performance all her own. Acapella music is all about a group owning it together, adjusting to the shifted pitch if necessary and this obviously didn't work. I'm sure there are works they just killed it at. This wasn't one of them.
That is so true she is awesome.
Wao ❤❤❤
ABBY SEI GRANDISSIMA
Wow
amazing!, score please?
They have serious tuning problems. Sounds like they did a lot of pitch correction/blending in the studio version. Disappointing.
Rachael Petersen it's sad you guys aren't like us. oh well.
Rachael Petersen yeap they have pitch issues...
Rachael Petersen What does it mean to have pitch issues?
Rachael Petersen It gets unbearable at the start of the last verse. It sounded like the soloist (Abby Franklin?) went off pitch and never made it back. I also definitely heard a female voice going all over the place right around the 3:05 time. It just keeps getting worse as time goes by, lasting for over a minute! I too was disappointed because it's clear they were definitely touched up in a studio in order for this song go viral. It is so hard to find a group that sounds as good live as they do in the studio. I almost feel like I was cheated! :P
mauia888 Music is performed in a particular "key" specified in most cases by someone who is leading the group and/or providing a tempo for the piece. If someone in the group veers off the correct key, you now have two groups of people singing in different keys. This (in most cases) can sound like nails on a chalkboard. You should be able to hear this "nail on chalkboard" effect around the 3:05 mark in the song. The soloist sounds like she is singing something that doesn't mesh whatsoever with what the rest of the group is doing.
wow bass you are amazing.
Congradulations that was really nice
I loved this song before but this version gives me life
After reading all these nit-picky comments, I watched it and thought, "Man, they must've really screwed up after the 3 minute mark"... Nay. This girl is AMAZING. She rocked it. Yes the men were too aggressive/loud at times but this was fantastic. This soloist can do things with her voice most singers wish to be able to do. I bet it was even better live - wow.
Love it :) amazing
phenomenal :)
Pitchy, but there's also some kind of echo glitch going on which makes the pitchy parts sound really bad. The echo even makes the soloist sound out of tune with herself. Weird. Studio version is incredible.
Muy Bueno!
lol @ the people criticizing this amazing live performance
Altos, let's get it together. You all have killed this live many times...mental presence in the voice. Only disappointed because I'm a vocal major and I've heard you do it better
any way I can get the sheet music for this? :) I run an acapella group at my high school (currently I am a junior), and it would be amazing if we could try this
Cody Brady thats so cool, i cant even sing
email twistedmeasure@elon.edu!
Thanks a bunch!
Kyle Whitaker You are a GENIUS
Wow, that was great...
Hey! Anybody knows were I could get the arrangement?
I used to like this song.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼❤
the color of the voice is not balance :(
that's racist
I prefer this version!
it's surprising how heavily edited the official version was because listening to this it sounds like a completely different group
it helps if you learn your notes
This is amazing you guys!
Everybody should check out our cover of Chandelier too!
I think overexcited singers caused this to out of tune really easily. Applause to the sopranos and basses for holding it down. Tenors Altos, y'all disappointed me with that. Like, people who sing inner voice parts (alto/tenor myself included) have to realize that you have to be twice as good to get just as much appraisal. Tenors and Altos are generally overlooked. Overall I'd give it a 6.5/10 I don't appreciate the soloist yelling at me. Like, my vocal chords started hurting for her.
+Trollkastel yep. After 3:13ish is where it really didn't sound that great.
They're cover in the studio sounds much better. Yes this version the intonation isn't very great but also the balance isn't great due to sound systems which they can't control. Very recommend looking at the studio version.
Trollkastel agree way off balance
Great job! Very moving, nice texture. I like the barefoot look. Did you get the idea from Luci Micarelli? Did you feel more in contact with the Earth, or did you do it because it looks good and different?
We go barefoot because it's been a tradition since we were founded in 1999 :) Gives us "sole"
The Red one is soooo cute.... 😍😍😍😍😍
it's nice. chandelier is a hard song so they did pretty good. it didn't sound perfect because of the nerves and the difficulty.
Joëlle Bruinsma it doesn’t has to sound perfect, they’re perfect from the way they are, nothing is perfect the way you want it to be
This was so disappointing to watch. To the guy that commented saying that pop singers have pitch problems and that this is an a capella group so it happens, that isnt so. I am very familiar with a capella ensembles and tuning, pitch, overpowering parts shouldnt be an issue with any legit a capella group. I dont even think I could listen to the studio recording of this anymore without thinking of how disappointing the real thing is. Chandelier is a hard song. With all that being said, this arrangement is amazing, so props to you all for that.
Then watch something else. I think they sound great. Let's hear something from you.
Serious tuning problems here...
And serious ego problems here.
This is very difficult but they did it.
I wish I could me like you one day
A little disappointed actually, the video sounded way better. Her voice is a lot harsher in this than the original that I heard
Becca Sparrow Some people when they sing live tend to make their voice more harsh than it actually is.
Becca Sparrow What did you expect? This wasn't edited at all.
+Becca Sparrow I respect your opnion, but I think absolutely different... Her emotion and the group passion makes this version sound still better... Amazing is not enough!
Becca Sparrow There seems to be some sort of distortion/digital artifacting going on in the solo mic. Bad battery, perhaps?
At first I thought this was just about the worst A Capella song I had ever heard until I realized that there was some kind of glitch that made it so everything was being echoed about 1.4 second delay. It sounded like they may be doing it for some kind of cool effect and it definitely didn't sound good so I hit dislike and left the page... and the song kept going. Except without the echo. That's when I realized it was a glitch. :) Now I can listen to it and like it, although I do agree they have a little bit of pitchiness. Overall they are pretty amazing.
Watch my tears as they dry? D:
She could so be the next whitney houston.
how is she call? i wanna marry her.

привет, Sia Вы прекрасны)) ,czcams.com/video/3XZVKR75Xg4/video.html Sia - Chandelier ---Russian singer Alexandra Vorobyova, the best!!
I feel like this group has great potential and could benefit from some training. The arrangement is also in a really difficult place in the women's voices.
The tenors over sung the song.
Unf.
Jesus.
