School of Rock AllStar Students perform "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by CCR

[@Axel.Roads74]

"The blonde" = Eleanor Bangle . And she is absolutely great .

[@billhartley7971]

Man, this entire performance was so good. Better than the original. The first 3 minutes of vocals I could replay a thousand times. Absolutely fantastic.

Great performance....but better than what original?

[@artscience9981]

Many people mention Eleanor, but I really enjoyed Elyssa’s vocal intro-the clarity of her vocal was amazing.

Elyssa is the first or second singer? the second singer has an awesom voice!

@@UNKA757 She is an extremely beautiful young lady and I hope I get to see more videos with her singing !

[@epicridesandtours]

I heard a little edge of Aretha, or maybe Tina in that voice. I got the feeling she was "coasting", to keep the attention to the whole tune, rather than belting it out. Perfect. Exactly in keeping with the original.

[@mmhey4688]

These aren’t kids, they are professional musicians, and vocalists above and beyond their years. Excellent job

[@peersen-m2e]

I was thinking practically the same thing. Watching those SOR guys in the "Terrified" piece AND these guys doing this CCR number, my half-joking, rhetorical question was " Are You Sure These Young People Are ' students' and not stage-ready MUSICIANS ?? " 12 am 12/11/2023

[@raywalton2294]

Agreed: There is a lot of talent in the above video. Hell, they're as good as (or better than) a lot of what passes for professional music.

The timbre of Zach's voice is really rich. His low harmonies sounded so smooth and full.

[@begbe23]

I agree! Can’t get enough b of them

[@putinkhuylo]

The female guitarist knows how to use chords to complement the r&b theme of the song, rather than try to be flashy. She captured the attitude perfectly. 👍👍💎

[@wizpopr]

She can play some lead too!

[@myfridayproject3257]

Perfect pull-offs and mutes when required. Also, spot on timing.

[@mrpeppery]

Completely agree with this. She was really feeling the song and displaying elite level musicality.

[@Simulera]

Classic ideas, real r&r guitar. She plays phrases that sort of are like talking, like saying things in sentences. Just very controlled but intense; nice. In time this might really evolve into something pretty special.

[@jeffhughes6167]

She was definitely the best of the three.!!!

[@timstowe4403]

I have heard a lot of remakes of this great hit by Otis Redding and I have to say this is my favorite remake. The vocals were superb and the three guitarist were all smoking hot with their licks. The bass and drummer kept it all together with the guitar solos. I listen to this 3-4 times a week. Outstanding job.

[@davidknight5858]

I could listen to these girls all day long. They both have such great voices, and the guitar solos were awesome. I was wondering how the song could run 11 minutes; turns out it is because of all sorts of great surprises! This particular group is, by far, THE BEST School of Rock performers. Incidentally, if you have not listened to their version of Midnight Train to Georgia, check to out. Eleanor has another solid performance.

[@joshuaburba1048]

Her vocals are amazing on "Midnight Train to Georgia." Just phenomenal.

[@BrassThunder]

Eleanor has such an interesting sounding voice and this leaves me wanting to hear more of it. Well done all around, I bet John Fogerty and the rest of the boys from CCR would approve.

[@chuckharrel8272]

The bottom end is perfect. This is a difficult song to hold onto. Hard for drums to keep back the desire to fill. Bass is doing a great job, by first, driving the vocals by setting a comfortable place for the lead vocal girls not to strain to carry the song and, then, widening the field for the six-string players. Guitar breaks are finely held in the mix. Great job!

[@Simulera]

We need more Eleanore.

[@brainfreeze44131]

At 6:22. "I need more cowbell". I couldn't resist.

[@philvaughan4091]

Amazing sound! All singers were great, but the blonde has that soulful raspy tone which really stood out. I’d like to hear the lead singer with a vocal led piece,,, her voice is very distinctive,, crisp & clean. Excellent job by all… y’all stay safe..

[@muchkneaded]

WOW! Better than I expected! I must be older than most people here. I remember when the original was released in 1967, the year after I graduated from high school, by Gladys Knight & the Pips. Marvin Gaye did his cover a year later in '68. John Fogerty and CCR finally got the bug and released their unique cover in 1970, the year I went to Vietnam - but that didn't stop me from enjoying CCRs version! Now I can listen to, and enjoy, THIS version!

My favorite "younger generation" vocalist for the last 2 1/2 years is 16 year old Angelina Jordan. Her audition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on America's Got Talent when she was 13 years old got me started down that rabbit hole, going back to her winning Norway's Got Talent when she was 8 years old, auditioning at 7 years old with an outstanding cover of Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday." Here's her AGT audition. She got the Golden Buzzer from Heidi, but the video ends before that moment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3eTe4lobduagtk
