SU played that song in their gospel show this season, they know it. The artist at the Classic was singing her own arrangement, don't know if they didn't practice together or what but she was doing her own. She was doing the lead at times and the background part.

[@isthatjerryyy]

yea she ain’t know where to come in …

[@davidjoseph2818]

She's done this before, it "sounds" a little off because we know the song so well but she was clearly trying to have a louder crowd interaction..

[@jeezyjeezy7913]

Man how you messed up the lord song 😂

[@WesternAirNation]

If you look closely, you can see that Jackson State isn't there....How'd they end up in these comments tho 😅

GSU sounds like a high school 😂 when su March out they were waiting for Gsu & played 3 songs on them & they didn't do anything in return but hold up their horns 😂😂

Nah, Dr. Nicole us doing her thing with GSU. Look at the few years leading up to her taking over. They've come a long way.

[@terryminor1389]

Grambling should've played a no limit classic as their first song since they're rocking camo in the N.O

[@Chimalayas2000]

Even with SU at its weakened state, they still kicked GSU’s ass every time so good job Jukes! 💙💛 😊

U from southern right

The bar was pretty low😢

The ladies dancing for Grambling burned some major calories.

[@briancyres2621]

My brother kb the band head you already know what it is

[@macnificentjohnson7311]

SU is good. But I can't no longer give them props for beating GSU. Is GSU even ranked in the top 10? SU is to good to be battling GSU.

[@cmitchellmaed1955]

8th

[@partywitjay7573]

Ion think they need the props tho 😂 it is what it is

[@macnificentjohnson7311]

​@@partywitjay7573Oooo ok. Did you give them props after JSU whipped they ass? Keep it real. Since you on here talking about they don't need props. I bet you was giving them props that night. And they lost the battle 🤦🏾‍♂️yall be tripping fareal

[@Dolliole]

As someone who’s sang all my life singing while being accompanied by a band is difficult to be honest it isn’t them it’s her. I’ve done it and not been successful at it. The organ or piano is much easier because of what your listening to so that you can stay on tempo with all the instruments it can be hard

[@fanoflawrencedrunkpreachin834]

Dude I was there. I sat on the 50 in a lower tier section. SU’s sound was like surround sound and Gram sounded like your grandmother’s old black and white 15 inch tv 📺 SU for the EASY WIN 🏆

[@vandorenjackson482]

My brother @KB what’s up man

[@octaviousricks3619]

lol deduction on the announcer

[@unklehitman1541]

54:45 look at Yt boy on the piccolo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@joshuag1488]

KB i admit this hasn't been southern's best year but if you expected anything better from Grambling you set yourself up. Almost every year throughout the season we say how much they have improved feom the previous year. Then, they get to the Classic and sound like this. Om not surprised just disappointed

[@marlonflowers2612]

Southern disappointed me this year I'll give them a C+ maybe a B against the real comp in the SWAC. The annoucer for Gram said they not playing by Southern book or rules....Maybe they should've because they sounded 🗑️🗑️🗑️ Did A1 take a page out of KB book and start to focus on Gram's dancers. Prolly just me!! 😂😂😂 It's safe to say some of GSU musicians entered the transfer portal early before the battle. 😂😂 Southern better be careful that some of theirs don't go to JSU because Sonic Boom been on warp speed this year!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@mjk3784]

Man I'm Gram fam all day long since my brother marched there in the 80s but they arrangements sound like you in concert band competition when the gave you 15 minutes to sight read a piece

[@deaja860]

They both did two songs each time, thats how the battle went.

[@fireeye1996]

The reason they like that is for the power

[@88soulfultone]

They completely abandoned 'my funny valentine' smh

[@dtb8793]

Yeah right that’s my fav arrangement from them this year

[@Flavaflav555]

They also abandoned Escapism

[@honestsagittarius4566]

They never even played “best rapper alive” nor did they even record it ..they didn’t record “murda man “either I don’t know what was going on in the media department

[@keedawg3]

KB said "who can love you, he can love? Lord I don't know" . 🤣🤣 Done spit my water out.

[@DelmusicLover]

Yea, that was their number 1 arrangement this year and they only played it once… weird.

[@VontaBumper]

Kb don't cry😂

[@harveylawson3843]

Grambling needs more band members and better pen writers.

[@islandehawaii]

Lawd...@ 32:45 mark...sound like when a song just passed out for 1st time and we just sight reading and walkin thru the song. Gosh, they've sounded bad a many years, but this was rediculous!

[@3kidsandadad]

Let the clips play man LOL!

[@Mike-Harris]

Keep telling y’all it’s not the students at gram🫠

[@terryminor1389]

Wow...now i see why GSU band was suprised when tasia came out with southern...lmao glad I waited to watch this.

[@avenuejordin6505]

Kb I think the artist messed up the song bc that’s not how it goes she was saying piece by piece

[@briannajones2498]

And it definitely shows that she didn’t even practice nor rehearse with the band before performing

[@AveBoy19]

Facts cause for senior night it was a different story

[@brotherjayblaze3947]

SU

[@charlesrobinson2718]

Oh lord 😂

[@Flavaflav555]

And folks was really sitting here trying to say GSU took the dub. This may be a down year for the jukebox but they sholl ain’t bout to lose to no damn grambling 😂.

[@Dolliole]

Coach Buras played at Southern is a coach on the staff and has has pancreatic cancer

[@islandehawaii]

@35:50...when you're singing with a band as backup...the soloist has to know where to come in. Don't know why, but she seem like she didn't know if she wanted to sang lead or backup. She was killin me. Back in my day "Doc" woulda waved her off and band woulda took over. Band still sounded good...just can tell they ain't practice that together. We used to do that a lot, but we always made it work. :) 88' the Greats.

[@jolandaallen5866]

I totally agree with you kb Southern definitely won this battle it was not even close i must say the ladies on both sides came to slay 😊❤

[@edwinbatiste7550]

I respect what the directors are doing, but during the Haymer years the Jukebox had that ‘It’ that a lot of the band heads know is missing. I don’t remember J-State just waxing the Jukebox like they did more than once this year.

[@joshuabrown1947]

Please students of grambling “world fame for wrong reasons” put in a vote to get a new YOUNGER staff that can write cause atp any Meac band and I mean ANY can just out play you with sound, arrangements, and song selections 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

them two b tones on the right for gsu causing hell

[@joshuag1488]

As reference imma say that whem othee bands battle Southern its like going to the superbowl. It brings out the best im them. But, when Grambling battles Southern they play like they're going to the electric chair.

[@naturalbornscreamer]

Dude…keep it going!!! #NSU07 #Dizziac #Super1st O_o

[@carltheyoda2155]

Overall SU sounds pretty good! The 🎺 section kind of melted into the background. I wish they had brought the same game plan against The Boom this season.

[@jameskilluachat]

Yo go to Sarah t reed vs abe from smash time it was 3 months ago

[@King_Nick1]

Southern church song. I believe they were playing a different t melody than the artist.

Why is the b tones on one side and f horns on the other side lol that’s y you can’t hear the f horns they on the right side 😩🤦🏽‍♂️

i would say so, but not by much at all

KB I totally agree with you, I was in the World Fame back in the late 80's & im like the alumni band sounds better than them. Keep up the good work

[@user-wi6ix9te5e]

GSU play the songs like they got Fischer price 😂.. And SU - boring

[@sellina4life]

This is your [ ] (fill in the bracket with a number) time watching the battle tho😬🤣

[@VontaBumper]

Edna Karr would walk them gsu down with no problem ops did I say that

[@vandorenjackson482]

Man no college band should be this size and sound like this that’s pitiful man like what do they do at practice and how the band director allow it’s band to sound this bad

[@DelmusicLover]

I just feel like SU arrangements are predictable; trumpet run/inflection in the middle of song, embellish a few notes to add spice, be super loud and aggressive for no reason sometimes, meh… just gets boring sometimes. SU is good… but I’d like them to get back to a more polished band with emphasis on musicality.

[@dabandcaamp]

KB all the shit you been saying this whole video i been saying under the videos ALL year but niggas be swear up and down im hating i knew i wasnt the only one hearing them problems

It kills me that no one ever says anything good about GSU. The crab mentality that black ppl have is ridiculous.. you never see white bands with channels saying who was the best let’s clap it up for both teams and stop tearing each other down it was the 50th year they should played a song together for the battle and game. I have a child that attends Gsu & both bands did great. Please stop.. we have got to get it together….❤

THANK YOU! My child plays for them too and this channel has always hated Grambling since it showed up in my algorithm. They have nothing better to do but tear down. Sad!!!
