I'm going to let this go until tonight (and then probably forget about it for a while longer) before I call this one so get your votes in if you haven't yet.

Moss · 05-20-2015, 02:09 PM

Soweto choir for sure.

Hallo Moss and Sartre! It's good to see some new people contributing here, but don't forget that the convention is to end your post with an accumulative total of all votes so far. Otherwise, some busy-body has to come along and add them up. Well, if there has to be a busy-body, I'm prepared to be that body on this occassion:-

Soweto Choir: 3 + Moss +Sartre = 5
Devin Tower: 1

Looks like a clear winner to me, so now I´m off to PM the mods and accuse Frownland of neglecting his own thread...

**Frownland** · 05-24-2015, 03:32 PM

Hey I warned that is probably forget about this thread. This is a clear loss for Townsend.

You's up DWV.

Thank you Lisnaholic for informing

I take care of this now, when I send a post this thread,

And if you accept I'd like to add two songs sometime.

Pentatonix: 1
Acapella Soul: 0

I have to say that Pentatonix was bloody amazing! I love the way when they get to the sixties colour fades in. The talk at the end was great too, showed you they seem to be really nice people. Absolutely unique, has to get my vote even though I love "The lion sleeps tonight": no contest.

Pentatonix - 2
Lion - 0

^ You're welcome, Sartre !
On the first page of this thread you can see that Frownland has put your name on the list, and you will have a turn at choosing, after ribbons.

Huge respect for Trollheart, of course, but I always seem to vote contrariwise to him in this thread, and so it is again. Pentatonix is undoubtedly clever, and the B&W-to-colour change is a nice touch. Still, it' s all about the music, and for me, the longer it went on, the more irritating this medly became. Plus, there's an awful lot of electronic percussion for something that's supposed to be a cappella isn't there?

The Lion Sleeps Tonight, though, was a great choice, DwnWthVwls. A beautiful, simple, classic song, and the guy with dark glasses nearest the camera has a voice that does it justice. So that makes it :-

Pentatonix : 2
Acapella Soul : 1
