One of the best groups I have ever heard !!!!!!

[@Waggggs]

The CD "Feels Good" is just incredible. All these years, and they still have the magic. Keep praising the Lord guys!

[@jarbon5]

Every time I see this, I'm just floored by how well Take 6 sounds. And, the part that Joey is doing, splendid!

[@OrbiliusMagister]

After fifteen years from the first view the only possible comment is still "Wow!"

[@2708carlos]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@inspiredmusic4328]

Incredible voices...I'm impressed.

[@Major2219]

I LOVE TAKE6!!!

[@kingdombread]

Awesome!

[@debby6]

NOBODY does it better, My boys!

[@jarbon5]

This was so awesome. Have watched this like a million times, and I still love watching it:)

[@Xeria]

i love this group thx for the vid...i love harmony

[@marque235]

Oh my Lord. God bless Take 6! Amazing fellas!!! Thank you, thank you for posting.I wish they'd come to Ohio. Let me know if you have any other vids where they breakdown their parts - please!

[@Nostaljack]

Without Take 6, there is no Naturally 7. Just like without the Hi-Lo's and the Singers Unlimited, there is no Take 6.

[@sunshne10]

Thanks for the clarification.

[@jarbon5]

Love seeing Joey doing his thing, ya boy is working it out! Of course, he sings the lead on this song ("Come On" for those that ain't know). Still, love watching this, and hearing them breaking down the individual parts of this:)

[@trotterus]

he also was joining 2005 winter tour (was in warsaw), as Cedric had some issues on university (Alvin said that so)

[@IntrospectiveSamurai]

i would love to see them break down one of there more complicated songs

[@morenaso1]

Brian Mcknight shouldve been in this group. Him and Claude Mcknight wouldve added that brotherly flava

[@VictoriaLove]

omg i love joey his part is my favorite crack me up

[@sunshne10]

That piece clears up some of my, "How do they do that?". Who is that guy in Cedric's place? First Mervyn, now Ced? I still love'em and no one can be compared to them. Sing my babies!!!

[@sky7sosa]

it was funny at :32 when she interrupted him lol

[@benguyen]

Go clauuuude

[@logosthedestroyer]

I think the woman interviewer at the end sums it up! 'Wow'

[@hindemith17]

It was almost like a bad SNL routine with those announcers! Take 6 is definitely awesome. Check out David and Goliath too.

[@yongsta210]

@iloveusomuchjesus ive seen the Get away Jordan breakdown, and the live breakdown b4 they get into the song "spread love." a song like "Gold Mine" i would like to see a break down of, but thanks anyway! glad u love these guys as much as i do :P

[@Xeria]

i agree

[@blackjackjeeves]

If I read things correctly on websites, there is only one change from the original 6. I don't have the names though. I know their Myspace explains it. Hope that helps!

[@carlfoshizi]

alright... they didn't really break nothing down.. well technically, they did, but that's not all we wanna see. Y'all know what I'm talking about.. the REAL Take 6 "six-part" harmony. As far as this up here goes, we were only given beatbox, bass, lead, and 3 part harmony. Prob. due to the song choice. 6 part harmony: 3rd upper, main, 3rd lower, added ninth to the main, fifth (could be suspended fifth), and bass.. really depending on the arrangment and the song's chord pregression.

[@chillbrotha01]

harmony is the SHIZ

[@jarbon5]

I think that Joey Kibble had the best part!

[@JazzySaxE]

they understand jazz more than you buddy

[@tha1gixxer]

@Umputi, there is no way you actually believe that Naturally 7 even holds a candle to T6! They don't sing, they just make sounds and beat box! Vocally there is no comparison to the 6.

[@zootjames]

Where was Cedric Dent (baritone) in this video? Was he sick and couldn't make the gig?

[@MrTrangalobi]

My headphones must be broken, but what did he say at 2:52 ??!! He did not say that at 2:44 and neither did the other 2 singing the same words.

[@yongsta210]

man y did they have to do it to this song:P i wish they showed how to break on of there more complicated songs!

[@Morbat250190]

wich song are they singin

[@VictoriaLove]

i dont know if anybody answer your question but cedric left the group in 11

[@morenaso1]

lol, david can sing and sing well but sounds like his snapping was off beat, lol

[@jwanbass]

i think the dude was disrespected the whole set.lol i never noticed that.lol

[@wtwrush]

So sad that they were demonstrating this song instead of like, anything else

[@Umputi]

Naturally 7 is so much better but anyway take 6 are good

[@theobserver9684]

Naturally 7 are good, but they aren't cool.

[@eugeniaboone5602]

Not even close. Next.

[@Katkayz]

Naturally 7 don’t even write most of their songs . They are good but take 6 is better

[@RTDavis0503]

Take six was first. By at least 3 years. So even if you do believe that they are better, they were influenced by take six

[@hanskellynogua7110]

Take 6 was first and still is the best.
