i know quite a bit about music and choral singing in particular and i have to say that this is simply the best bit of choral singing i have every heard. most barbershop choirs shout in the forte passages - these guys' voices ring. and the tuning is just perfect. i would challenge any of their critics to come up with something better - put it on youtube so we can hear it and judge for ourselves.

The whole package, perfect singing, effective dress, smooooooth mixture of voices, emotive commonality, just the right and appropriate touch of choreography, empathy with the meaning of the music, the little humorous tip of the hat to Arnold S., and that simultaneous "we love it" hand clap that few groups over two members can pull off...stunning!

I agree with you on that they make a resonant sound but having been to see Westminster I can say that sound is not an issue. The chords they create ring and form overtones louder than the chords themselves! Well, maybe an exaggeration. Gotta agree though, bloody good chorus. Probably helps they have the Doug Harrington;)

@jd7x7. I agree most classical ensembles cannot get anywhere close to this kind of lock and ring. But that is more to do with style of music sung than anything else. I have heard a Chinese choir do rip off of the VM Joshua fit the battle and did it almost perfectly, except again, they struggled a bit with the believabilty, English being a second language. Musically and vocal outstanding, just not as connected to the lyric as you might like.

The issue is there isn't a single european judge at the international convention, so euro choirs never make it into the top 10. In honesty, these guys make a purer, more resonant sound than westminster. They seem loud despite the smaller sound.

If you guys remember to sing for your audience and not so much for yourselves this will make an musically super performance theatrically superior. The subtleties of lyric interp is challenging more so when english is your 2nd language, however you show great musical maturity and with Doug Directing this will only grow. :-O

What does having 100 men have to do with anything? Singing through a smile lifts the sound and creates a clearer tone. But singing through a smile all the time gets boring, you need to create expressions that relate to what you sing. I don't know what the European way is, but according to you it is this, which borders on akward and is frankly a little bit boring. They will get it I'm sure, because Doug knows how to do it as well as anyone. I could care less about choreo, just emote the song.

Amazing singing, but the presentation doesn't match it. I think it is understandable though, because the majority of these guys have been singing barbershop for only a short time and haven't been able to drill in excellent stage presence habits. They will get it eventually, but it will hinder them for a while. Once they add faces to the sound they will be one of the best. If I were a judge I could see maybe averaging 75 in pres 90 in singing and 86 in mus. 83.6 avg. My 2 cents -JJ
