Plead the Fifth - Uptown Girl

"Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel performed by Wake Forest University's Plead the Fifth at the FINAL APPEAL 2006 spring concert.

[@pkingsleyisback]

the lead is awesome, but why isn't anyone commenting on the bass. I'm not a bass singer but come on, that guy is keeping the tempo... and he is keeping the chords moving. you can never have to much bass if the bass sounds good

[@TheMs5feet]

the best acapella cover version of uptown girl i have heard (bar billy joel of course) on KZbin.

[@miguelclose8556]

Hey the lead singer is spot on, and the bass singer is phenomenal too

[@NeverLookBackSamurai]

AMAZING arrangement, gentlemen. Soloist is best I've heard, and the bass! Oh, goodness, such control!

[@mosswind]

The thing about songs like this are the credit really goes to those who aren't soloist and the bassist; it's really really hard to harmonize that well when you aren't the soloist. Good job all!

[@wildcatcruse]

sent shivers down my spine! i wish i knew a guy who could sing tike that!

[@JamesGrimesJr1981]

what an amazing group.

[@goodfella2145]

[@watercoloursgrey]

HOMG. THIS MADE MY DAY.

[@griffenmforever]

Lead voice is amazing!

[@sugarbaby724]

Plead the Fifth is basically amazing! The lead singer is very good; he's got a strong voice. However, it wouldn't be the same without the background - they're amazing together!

[@LoganMcCarthy]

Freaking amazing, I'd love to have been in the crowd! :D

[@jmpoff]

Thanks for this video. I've been listening to various a capella performances of this tune, and yours is one of the only ones so far that hasn't messed up the key shifts (yours and Straight No Chaser's, lol). It could have a bit more energy, but the tempo is just right, and the intonation throughout is spot-on.

[@justcallmedan301]

WOW

[@IraLeePNG]

Lead singers Bridge is amazing. I almost thought I was listening to a synthesized bit!

[@junkb0x99]

I'm really impressed with the sound quality on this recording - was the camera patched into the sound system?

[@UnknownStupidity]

The arm swinging is so cute

[@pdub416]

I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't know if it's possible or not. They sound great, but I did notice that in all of their videos, they never seem to hit a sour note.

[@Luv2Dnce4]

@blazinballa468 There is no "intro song." It's just the beginning to "Uptown Girl." Check out the original single.

[@musicallyawesome]

@blazinballa468 intro song? all of it is uptown girl

[@gizm007o]

Fantastic audio quality. Were you hooked up to the system? It sounds incredible! as does the singing of course.

[@mikementz]

Wow, I just responded to a lot of people. I done jammed the comments section!

[@JerodM]

sorta does...shorter version

[@Luv2Dnce4]

My bad. I had no idea *anyone* would care about the random rap song played before an awesome group sang a beautiful, acappella version of a hit pop song.

[@sporegan]

he sang a verse twice! Nice though!

[@juanapez]

UC Men´s Octet

[@MisterTedster]

Is it just me or does the lead singer kinda look like Michael Phelps?

[@Montedelmonte]

sounds great. but it sounds like live autotune

[@michaelskondin5908]

sound great ...boring
