That's part of it but a bigger part of a capella is being able to carry the piece without assistance.

Pentatonix gets extra hate for being cover-based too. You really have to do something exemplary and new to justify releasing a collection of covers. **** Pentatonix, **** Weird Al, **** your buddy's Beatles cover band.
