[@TheRealSullyG]

The group that got me into Barbershop, and will always be my favorite. So glad to see them back in competition!

[@normanj4007]

🔥 i love your youtube

[@justinr4718]

They played in my hometown too and I didn't realize until way after, I cry.

[@thatmagicstore]

Only one of the Real ones

[@refreey]

u comment everywhere i watch, smosh, jacksfilms, barbershop quartets lol

[@thatmagicstore]

​@@refreeywho?

[@saraalhashimi2650]

“That’s Marcus.” “Hi.” Probably one of the best ways to introduce a new member I’ve ever seen! ❤

[@Lozza1991]

Then built on in the semis and finals. They've made a highlight of his introduction throughout the three packages and allowed his personality to become integral to the group dynamic. Love this.

[@saraalhashimi2650]

@@Lozza1991right?! I don’t know if it was intentional, but I love this whole subplot they created based around Marcus!

[@DiploRaptor]

What happened to the other guy?

[@Lozza1991]

@@DiploRaptor He left. In, I think, 2021-ish

[@LarissaDawn]

@@Lozza1991 He became a vocal teacher/coach at his local Jazz school. I heard he left bc he got married but even in some of their older videos, he's got a ring on.

[@iankeith]

Marcus' tiny little "hi" will never not be comedy gold.

[@asterythm]

something about the cadence of “i’m joey buss from barbershop” had me on the GROUND

[@nikkireigns]

He has great delivery for sure!

[@iMr_Jones]

I love that 2023 is the year we got Newfangled Four AND Lemon Squeezey back.

[@slapster69]

You think that’s impressive? Try having 2!!! Of the best back at the same ti……….oh. Well, yeah. Man.

[@alexchannon]

that little "hi" from Marcus was the best 😆

[@aloysiuskurnia7643]

"Joey Buss from Barbershop" tickled me so baaaaad help X'D

[@falseparadox3838]

They might not get 1st place in the competition, but they should absolutely get 1st in the “most lovable and funny” category

They're first place in our hearts 😂💘💗🤣😂🤣😁

Jake Tickner. Smoothest bass of barbershop

[@justadam3186]

THIS!

[@juicywhiteman5850]

Definitely one of the smoothest sounding bassists in barbershop, even if he can't reach those super duper low notes like some of the others

[@FoxLosst]

Jake has aged a lot, but damn has he aged well. He was always good looking but he's one of the few that seemingly get better with age. Glad to see them back, and thankfully "The Ginger" hasn't changed that much. Wishing them all the best for everything to come

[@nicolasclerc1986]

I find they all evolved well and they blend better. Without losing their humor.

[@katiebarker4029]

Jake has straight up evolved into a silver fox right before our eyes

[@jeppiejoosten9528]

ryan looks like a completely different person thought they even call him marcus now

[@aleksjenner677]

bro is literally ryan gosling

[@melissadana7829]

He's always been good looking, and though it seems to have gone under the radar, he also has been (IMO) the best actor of the group. His face is so expressive; he really emotes and of course the physical bits of business are always spot on. It just seems like even more than Jackson or Joey, he is never "just singing" but always embodying the narrative of the lyrics.

[@Luke_The_Musical]

Probably for the best they stopped insulting the judges, plus the new "That's Marcus." lyric is great. Will always love when they perform this song!

[@Pegglemafia]

That Quorum joke was amazing, plus they have basically perfected the singing not compromising for comedy either, having a great balance. One of their best years since 2017.

[@ZackBlackwood97]

[@jamesodwyer4181]

I will never tire of their shenanigans. Welcome Marcus!

[@ILoveSomethingStupid]

Their appearance might've changed, but the joy and excitement they give us will never change. I love them so much❤ (also, Joey doesn't look different to me... His soft smile is exactly the same as before.)

[@doggletts]

That was funny and beautiful. Congrats on 6th place and sorry about the 6th place! We love you, Newfangled Four, keep it up. Remember SAI's "Showtime," if they could do it, you can too. Good luck!

[@jhass4497]

Best day of my senior year was when Newfangled Four showed up to my choir class and did a barbershop workshop- they performed this song. Love Marcus!! welcome :)

[@Moccason]

Genuinely, there isn't much that brings me more joy than watching a Newfangled Four video, then scrolling down to read the comments. The love and appreciation that these guys rack up from so many loyal fans is genuinely heart-warming. The community surrounding them is so wholesome and it always brings a smile to my face reading through some of the things people write in appreciation. You can tell how much they're loved! Keep it up, great work :)

[@elkindangen152]

Marcus voice is smooth like butter... 🥰😍😍

[@smorly4271]

Marcus has definitely arrived now. Sounds fantastic!

[@stdm7964]

That sure is Marcus and he's rocking it too!

[@xenodrone3367]

They need to give them the win at this point

[@ChrisFORYST]

To side on the other go

[@greenday61892]

Or at least a MEDAL! If they win they can't come back so maybe selfish reasons but they still haven't even medaled yet which is just *criminal* EDIT: HOLY COW THE TIMING, they literally finally medaled earlier in the same day I commented this!! Well done boys!!

[@DragonHeartMinis]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate that chord at 5:50 it’s soooo good

[@alessandravitali9075]

They are and will forever be my favorites.

[@simonlevy00]

ive been waiting specifically for thier set for months now

[@Lozza1991]

Wait till you see their other two sets, they'll blow you away

[@kyleighhope961]

their first version of this was how i learned how to baby cry

[@Chef316]

I like how they are just themselves. No compromising. Comedy and great vocals and harmonies!

[@IRDStudio]

4:12 dangit he got me. 👌

[@raynwise]

I want them to win gold so much!!! ❤❤

[@jeffthedoggo7990]

You can really see how well rehearsed this is.

[@loosekanen]

That 9 chord at 5:36 is really nice

[@Pegglemafia]

Jake’s Voice is so smooth this year. Sometimes I try to isolate it in my mind. I think Joey is better in songs like Zazz and Joe Re Mi. He is much better in tags this year. Marcus has such a great silky voice that gave me goosebumps in this performance. Jackson sounds great and has really come into is own as a lead

[@judybeach3991]

They’re essence is so sweet , humble, and so funny. I celebrate you guys ….keep on workin hard!!!

[@ffortissimo]

I'd love to see a co-op of The Newfangled Four with VoicePlay :D

[@iamnojedi99]

Wait…that’s actually genius

[@ARPA63]

I'm new to this, and I LOVE it!

[@josesolismusic]

This is just at another level. I was absolutely fascinated during the part about how the world can change with harmony.

[@ingetamna]

This is probably the most wholesome I've ever heard the NF4

[@Zeuseus6609]

Marcus settled in to the group and vibe so well. Great to see the Newer-Fangled Four doing so well XD

[@Kyriose]

Absolutely love seeing them back on stage, made my day seeing this. Love seeing Marcus up there with them

[@jeanreed1975]

OMG. Stunning key changes out of the blue. Intonation, relative pitch, on top of innate performance craft. Thank you for your service.❤️

[@NicholasSullivan]

But why did the road cross the chicken?

[@sykeassai]

It's been a whle since i've seen or heard about the Newfangled Four, but it's nice to know that they are both still going and that they've finally managed to reach a quaterfinal.

[@dclark142002]

I always come to NF4 performances for the amazing lyrics. Today was the first time the mere SOUND of the chords gave me the goosebump thrill. Well done on the performance...maybe this is the year you finally get gold!

Wow. They tightened the bolts on this one. Nice.

[@user-yt7qd2xs5o]

Wow! How much they've matured over their other versions of this song. The confidence level, comfort level, pacing and pauses, facial expressions - everything about this version says they've really arrived. Bravo!

[@daidarabotchi3891]

This was always a good song (their arrangement, I mean, haha - although I don't mind the original!) - but that final chord is just _fantastic._ I was wondering where the high note had come in from, then looked across to Joey - I think that's the most beautiful few notes I've ever heard him produce!

I don't think so. And yes, loved this performance. Felt like they were almost back to where they were in 2019 (and just kept getting better as the week went on)

[@Lozza1991]

[@aleksjenner677]

Eh, it almost sounded like a deliberate ornament. If only Marcus hadn't taken so long eventually sliding into the right note @@Lozza1991

[@Lozza1991]

@@aleksjenner677 maybe, I don't know. In all their other videos of this song, including their district "road-test" just a couple of months earlier, they sing the chord straight and it's pretty powerful. Hard to imagine why they would try to change that at international
