That ascending scale is difficult, at best, to achieve. The lead singer's decision to go the very bottom of her register, then start to climb, was very wise and well done. Kudos!!
You know, after listening to many of these SOR videos, I believe the school's transcribers/arrangers, along with vocal coaches make sure these kids don't ruin their pipes while trying to do songs that don't quite yet fit the maturity of their voices. Don't get me wrong, they do the best to make sure that all these young performers shine. Kudos!
Three keyboards!!!! The decade of synth. The background vocals are incredibly awesome
that "in a day or two" with a chest voice is incredible
Sounds like falsetto \\to me, but really pure tone.
That lead singer has really got some range. Loved it.
I agree. Especially those high notes. Powerful!
At first, I thought she's got a nice tone in the low range, surely that can't be her in the high part...thought it was one of the others. Nope! Pretty, cool, voice Sydney!
You gotta have a good range to sing this. Morten Harket was a monster! I used to be able to do it but not now that I'm 70 :-(
@@darkehorse71The lows actually. He is not in her confort zone, but did it very well.
Lead singer has a horrible,voice. Yikes. Sounds like she’s auditioning for the munsters ffs
I didn’t expect her voice to be as low as it was! But she totally rocks it before showing us her awesome range! She’s got her own style and various little quirks to her voice that gives us a glimpse of personality.
They’re all quite talented! Really enjoyed the video!
This has to be one of the hardest pop songs to sing with that massive range! Well done
Nicely done! Drummer was spot on and did not miss a beat. Singer…incredible!
yeah he’s sick, I wonder if he’s ever played any brutal death metal
Singer was not great… I believe in constructive criticism.. singing was way too low for her voice so she can hit the high notes…
@willburhans3018 i have feeling that with this amount of talent he could play whatever you want :)
He did a good job but he did miss a beat. 2:02
The whole band is amazing but the singer just isn’t a match for this song she’s not bad, she’s just has a lower voice that doesn’t ring into the song. You know she’s got the chops and the range. Would love to see her on another song that matches her
The only reason most don't cover this is because few can sing it. Impressive!
The singer has such a beautiful voice, amazing!
WOW! What a talented group of young people. Sydney's lead vocals show tremendous range and control. Every other person in the group was spot on, and made Sydney sound sooo good. Would love to pay them to play a birthday party...
LOL how embarrassing, flying them out for a $100 gig
Haha. These guys are good enough for a birthday party...
@@woody5476 if I have the money, I'll have the Ghanian dancing pallbearers bury me.
It’s quite a process to become one of those kids. They are picked from about 60,000 kids across the US after being recommended by their local SoR, a taped audition and 2 live auditions. They are pretty special kids.
Here’s this years band

Really nice performance! The tempo never lagged, the energy was high, the band was tight and the lead vocalist nailed the range. All the vocal performances were crisp and spot-on. These guys really brought out the best in this song!
Soooo happy to see the younger generation sing and play 80s music!!
Awesome 👏 ❤
Great thing to watch the new generation doing a cover of this timeless classic.
I am proud of these young adults for keeping my era of music alive, not to mention their talent 👏
School of Rock ROCKS!!! Awesome job by all!🎵🎼🎶🎙🎤😎
The drummer Nikhil is a hell of a musician! He's in alot of death metal projects!
Yeah, he is very good with some interesting fills going on there. My only criticism was that I think that he was over playing just a bit. Overall the kids did an excellent job. Too bad you can't make much of a living as a regular rock musician these days with nearly all the clubs and live music bars long since having vanished.
Dave (Bar band guitarist 1969 to 1973 or thereabouts, CSN&Y, Zep, Chicago, Three Dog Night etc.)

@@dgwachtelno he’s freaking not bro…
@@willburhans3018No disrespect was intended. "overplaying" (only slightly) was just my opinion. Maybe it was the mix that gave me that impression? Nikhil is a talented and a very accomplished drummer.
I left the my band because of all the drama being in a band entailed and which was diminishing the quality of the music.
We had one drummer who was amazing who had left to join a touring band.
A few months later I was invited by him to join the band because one of the guitar players was leaving. They were about to go on another tour, this time as the opening act for the Allman brothers. I refused as I was back in university, had a research position that I loved and so left pro music behind. (That may have a bad decision)
I visited your CZcams site and you are a very accomplished drummer. Good luck with your career.
-dave
more than 40 years since this song was launched! You are the best guys!
The lead singer has an incredible voice!
Love the range of her voice and how clear she is.
for those of us who were around when the original was all the rage on MTV. back when they played videos. We thank you.
Really awesome rendition, all the playing and singers were spot on, hopefully these kids will do another song soon
Great job❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸
Wow! The low range this girl has, then blasts it with power in mid, and high range!!!!! Spectacular!
More organic than the original, and more interesting in my opinion. These teenagers nail it so well. The drummer is born to his instrument. Very well played also by the bassist. They are a perfect combo. Lead singer has a wonderful voice. All of them are good.
Very good performance, super talented musicians, enough personality to make it interesting and not just another cover - but let’s not get overboard 😊
Stopped by to check out a few minutes of one of my favorite 80's songs, & stayed for the whole video. Great cover guys, this is not an easy song to cover.
Bravo! This is a fun little song with a devilishly difficult vocal range and Sydney absolutely nailed it effortlessly! What a wonderful contralto voice she has, well done young lady! I love the fact that SOR allows these kids to take a song and make it theirs rather than trying to be note for note copies of the original, and that makes these videos so much fun to watch and listen to. 😄
What a vocal range!! Absolutely awesome 👏
don't see many covers trying to hit those high notes. well done!!!
Yeah, it's like two and a half octaves so either you have to pull the high notes, have the low parts be too high, or just be awesome.
@@FleshGolem420 or just be Morten Harket
@@bobwoolerOriGinal He went for just be awesome. He has a really well developed falsetto.
@@FleshGolem420 indeedo
called " the kareoke breaker "
It's not often that I fall in love with a singer's voice with the very first note they sing, but this was one of those times. Such a nice tone with a slight vibrato. Far too few altos in this world. Would love to find other things that she's done.
Those vocals though!!! Gave me goosebumps!
Wow!!! Awesome perfornance!!
Drummer is super solid
To the singer: your voice and vocal talent tells everyone you already mastered singing. Don't be nervous, loosen up and enjoy hearing the magic you make ❤️🎶
This is the best performance I've seen from school or rock .
That lead singer has it going on .
She will definitely be a part of the music industry .
It's OK, but it's definitely not the school's best. Watch more videos.
Everyone here is playing/singing great, but those backup singers are killing it with those harmonies!
I have to be honest. I wasn't expecting much. But you guys pulled it off. Loved the lead vocal and kudos to the drummer for holding it together. What a pleasant surprise !!!
Oh wow, this was special! First, the lead vocalist sounded absolutely amazing.
Second, I loved all the keyboards, especially the handheld one. Man I haven't seen one of those since the 80's. That really brings back memories.
Finally, everyone did a fantastic job, from the drummer to the rest of the band to the backup vocalists.
Just awesome guys!
I like that some kids from the younger generation like our songs we listen to
Brilliant performance by these talented musicians and vocalists
Phenomenal voice. Vocals so clean and effortless!! Range is truly impressive. Great job to all.
the back up singers nailed it
This kids rock every song they take on pity we couldn’t get a CD with their tunes.
That have me the CHILLS!!! That’s a huge musical compliment as we all know that feeling.
Great cover, enjoyed it, fun song!
Outstanding, just outstanding!
Yes it is !
WOW! Well done to all! Great to see so much young talent taking on such great songs and nailing them!
How I loved this performance. These students really rock - such talent. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back for one more listen. Thank you all for keeping these favourites alive.
Sydney your tonal quality and range are mature beyond your years. Absolutely love your sound! Musicians all on point behind you too.
Now that I have listened to the song multiple times.
The lead singer did a great rendition and a great in her greatness performance.
That girl playing the guitar cracks me up, she's like "wow this guitar playing is easy" LOL
Great job by all. Especially the vocals!!
I was 14 when this song came out and a-ha was a big part of my young musical experience, so it's great to see their music being played by such amazing young talent almost 40 years on.
Love the range this was done in, actually got chills on that high note!
Bravo Bravo!!👏👏 Outstanding job kids🤗!!! I love seeing my generation's music still being kept alive!!
Perhaps the best I have seen from all school of rock offerings. Excellent job by all.
Who is this young lady and what SOR is she from...Sydney is going to make it BIG one of these days...You go girl! She makes this very difficult song look so easy what a wonderful voice. Thanks for taking me back to my youth and making this ole man smile!
the keytar player is totally vibining, I'm 100% here for that and the epic synth track, the members of the band a-ha would be proud of these kids. also the drummer's really on point, not an easy song to do, I speak from a place of experience.
Love these young people!!!
Mad props to the drummer!!
Way better than the drum machine of the original!!!
A much more complete sound and experience!!
So true
Keytar! YAAAAASSSS!
That was absolutely fantastic. The lead singer made that look effortless and her voice was simply amazing. Loved it so much, i literally watched it twice, back to back. ❤
Impressive lower range with good power in it. Dont usually see that with such a nice high range as well.
Well, she did very much cheat with the first note of the chorus. I guess it just goes to show how impressive it is when a male vocalist manages to sing it.
@@JackWabbitTV you’ll need to explain to me, how, exactly do you cheat whilst singing a note, chorus, song…anything? Lip sync? Lmfaooooo
@@jimmydee935 she sang the A above the A in the original song.
@@JackWabbitTV please excuse my attempt at humor for my earlier comment. Was just being sarcastic. Honestly, I am so far from musically informed I can’t begin to explain. I’m not completely educated on different notes/chords, etc. I absolutely appreciate you taking time to reply with an explanation. Really. I’ll just have to take your word for it, regarding her situation with the A. Lol 🤙🏻
Her Voice!!! Amazing!
Wow, your School of Rock stars are FANTASTIC!
Gorgeous vocalist! Gorgeous vocals! Consider yourself a star ✨ and don't let the music industry or anyone tell you differently 🌹
amazing, incredible... there is not enough words to express the feeling you guys make me feel. simply perfect. Love it.
This was an absolute thrill to watch. SOR you rock. Well done. Beautiful
Great music, amazing vocals and fantastic musicians !
one of the best songs that came from the 80's . a total conceptual video . a video that the music world loved .
and they ruined it ..... hated this version ...
Love this version - the range of the lead vocalist is amazing as are all of the musicians!
Flawless performance by all. Loved the signature high note❤❤
Very fine rendition! This song is making it's way around CZcams lately, so happy to see kids with their fingers on the pulse of music.
The video of this song is a classic as well and one of my all time favorites.
A bloody brilliant cover, well done guys and gals
These kids are just perfect.
the 80's still live on in these rock stars
So Proud of you all - Well Done💕💯👍
Good job guys! You have done a magnificent cover of one of my favorite songs from the 80s, it has brought me back to when I was more or less the same age as you are now or maybe a little younger.
that like me of this school is that the covesr is the musi of the 80´s 70´s, thanks
Seems to be a trend that the lead singers on these school of rock videos are just awesome... And the whole band is usually just awesome. Everything is usually just awesome!
Wow!!! 😮😮😮 What a perfect timing!!! 😊👍👍👍 I was just looking for Aha "Take On Me" cover and this is the 3rd cover I found.. This cover is one of the best covers of Aha's "Take On Me"... You just posted this cover this year 2023.. So thanks a lot!.. God bless this band group!.. ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely amazing. Just as if I was listening to the original recording by the band a-ha themselves. Everything from vocals to instruments ON POINT. LOVE IT!💯
Bang up job.
I agree. They killed it
Holy wow !
Singer really shines when she hits her upper registers, great cover as always from SOR!
Great cover! Awesome to see young people exploring this track!! Seems like they had fun, as evidenced by the result 👍
Excellent performance. Drummer spot-on. Bass line, I love that punchy staccato feel. The singer had a tough job because of the range but I think she cracked it. And the best thing, is that here is a bunch of graduates that like actual music!!
The drummer killed it.
Graduates? These kids are in High School. The girl guitar player was in this years AllStar band. This is a prior years band. It’s very competitive to get into this band. They are picked out of about 60,000 kids. I followed the West Coast band this summer. They were really great. The guitarist was in that one.
Here’s one from this year

I want to hear more from this singer!
Awesome. Just amazingly perfect.
Sweet! Nice job kiddos! Beautifully done!
Perfect. Bravo
Just wanna say I go to the same sor as Syd and she's AWESOME. Congrats Syd!!!!!
Wow, every member rocks - special shout out to the singer. Great range !!
Love the whole vibe from the keytarist. He's got the coolest instrument ever invented...and he knows it. Love it!
Wow, outstanding !!
incredible vocals, brutal performance😍
simply PERFECT!
I love her Voice. An amazing cover. Cheers from Brazil.
EXCELLENT SOUND AND PERFORMANCE. Love all of the voices in this work of art. What a School this is to teach the studio techniques for recording, which is so different than a live gig. Love it all.
I love this song. Great cover. Well done indeed.
Your voice makes me kind of emotional. Keep upt the good work all of you.
This is just magnificent! I'm in tears!
This voice😍😍😍
