Michelle (The Beatles) - A cappella cover (barbershop quartet)
Ойын-сауық
Michelle is a Beatles song released in the 1965 album Rubber Soul, recorded at EMI / Abbey Road Studios. The song Michelle was primarily composed by Paul McCartney, with bridge written John Lennon. Michelle was one of McCartney's first compositions and one of his greatest hits. Michelle was a number 1 hit for the Beatles in Belgium, France, Norway, the Netherlands and New Zealand, and it received the Grammy for Song Of The Year in 1967. The French lyrics "Michelle ma belle sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble" translates to "Michelle my beauty are words that go together very well".
Here is my original acapella arrangement of this classic, sung in the barbershop quartet style. Hope you enjoy!

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble
Très bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble
Très bien ensemble
I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do, I'm hoping you will know what I mean
I love you
I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do, I'm telling you so you'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble
Très bien ensemble
And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
My Michelle

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ❤
As a singer, I can't get over how perfectly intonated these chords are! So satisfying!
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime !!!
One of my favorite Beatles songs :3
I love the "fun facts." Also, the song is pretty awesome. So good.
Outstanding! This is a great song to make a barbershop quartet rendition, and you totally nailed it! :)

@@JulienNeel thanks! I like how the tracks are organized, it really helps to learn. Btw, that part around 2:00, the only thing it reminds me of and is kind of stuck in my head is the first verse of 'Paint it, Black' by the Rolling Stones... is this what you meant? :D
Magically Mesmerizing.
This is an *outstanding* arrangement. And the Eleanor Rigby quote put a huge smile on my face.
Wuu ❤❤❤
Très magnifique, mon ami! Beautiful as always, Julien!
I remember our first virtual meeting. We met like stones on the waterfront. Accidentally. I haven't left you since. I look forward to another miracle. I never missed it. You are a great wizard. How do you do? The song is beautiful. You can listen to it many times! Congratulations.
Bonjour Je m’appelle Michel, j'adore cette chanson. Merci
Fantástico!Parabéns!
J!!!! suddenly you popped ! haha It's really great! love it :)
Very elegant. A good version of music for a declaration of love. Even if her name is different.
Bravo Julien... keep up your good work ... You help to make the world a better place

I was a kid when the Beatles showed up, and remember thinking they were not quite rock n roll, unlike the Rolling Stones. But I liked them better than the Rolling Stones, and finally figured out it was the harmonies more than even the fine tunes. They also remind me of the Everly Brothers, who I never could hear as two separate voices. That's probably why they work so well as a barbershop quartet.
i hope you are doing well this year Julien. Never stop singing.
I love this song!!
That was absolutely beautiful performance 🙌 buddy 👍 Julien I sure look forward to seeing your notifications I grin from ear 👂 to ear 👂.
Beautiful! Listening to you has helped my bass technique so much! I'm the lone bass in a family of tenors (my dad, two brothers, and brother-in-law), your smooth delivery of the bass line has taught me how to blend with them better. Merci!
You clearly understand the barbershop craft from a singing standpoint. Now you have added that expertise to the arranging category. Well done.
We need a "Paul McCartney Reacts to Julien Neel" video next!

Oh, that vintage singing manner.. Perfecto.
Julian, this had me going in terms of the expressiveness you put into this one.
Another work of genius. Marvelous.
Espectacular, como siempre!! Un muy excelente arreglo y una perfecta versión!!
I've never been more excited from a youtube notification than I am right now!! It's the first in receiving after quite some years.
What a lovely arrangement! And what a delightful performance of a favorite song from a favorite singer. Loved the chyrons.
Beautiful version by you Julian.
This is so good! I can't get it out of my head.
Amazing man! Such a great version, and very impressive how your color stays true through all voices :)

This is amazing. Best barbershop quartet I’ve ever heard. I’ve watched every single one of your videos, and I enjoyed every second of them. Suggestion: I’d really like to see Rule Britannia.
Wow! These chords are so tight! Difficult!! 🖖🏽
Makes me want to change my name to Michelle
I've seen that you sang France National Song. Great job! Can you sing Brazil's one? It's sooo beautiful! 🙏🥰

Do you also compose songs? I need a gospel barbershop song please
Maybe we can hear a cover of "Good Night" by The Beatles for the next Beatle cover. I know Julien would nail it.
way back then round 6
Do you think you can do Wouldnt it be nice: Beach boys? Great video!
Amazing, what program are you recording in?
I'm a nuclear engineering major with an exceptionally aggressive Degree Plan, and I *almost* forgot you Trudbol. What a tragedy that would have been. I'm gonna go listen to Irish blessing again now.
Did you change the name of your channel or am I losing my memory? 😍
Hi Trudbol, do you know the a capella version of "Michelle" by the King's Singers?
