The Newfangled Four • Stonehenge • 2024 International Quartet Finals

[@abydosianchulac2]

I don't know which change I love more, the ingredient pronunciations or how violent Jake's beatboxing inclusions have become.

[@ahuddleofpenguins4842]

You gotta sell it

[@BrunnyBeatbox]

As a beatboxer, I can say that they’re actually sounding better than ever! ….and the singing was alright I guess 😜

[@coffeeafters3x]

They may not win the gold on stage, but they won the gold on KZbin. We all know most of us only click on NF4 vids.

[@melodysky1984]

I recommend watching more! ^^

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Just listened to them back to back. You can really hear how much they’ve worked over the last year. So deserving of that medal

[@zbrown236]

I don’t know if the performance from last year dropped pitch throughout, but this ended about a half higher than the performance from 2023. Absolutely wild

[@abydosianchulac2]

​@@zbrown236I think it was this performance ending higher-you can hear the other three coming in flat compared to Jackson on the final "Stone-" before syncing back up on "-henge". I think Jackson got excited and overshot his ending note a touch, so the guys fixed it when they could. But the fact Jackson could _accidentally_ end up higher after that song kinda blows my mind.

[@hilarypower6217]

Makes me proud to be British, with Stonehenge just down the road 🇬🇧

[@wielandfahr6067]

Since it isn't mentioned anywhere: Song originally created by Ylvis (Norwegian show host). Stellar arrangement!

[@TerjeMathisen]

Ylvis is two brothers (Vegard and Bård Ylvisåker), they are really good! They became viral with their "Fox" song but they have a lot more, the Ferry is one of my favorites.

[@melodysky1984]

I'm a simple man, I see NF4, I like

[@hunterleebrown]

Such a great arrangement, and the singing is even tighter. But of course the surprise and pure joy of the 2023 International's debut was magic. Love you, my dudes.

[@mahoganyflagpole6877]

Man their ring has gotten so clean! So great to see them still improving after all these years of such great performances! And what the heck Jackson! That post sounds like midi!

[@z.l.burington1183]

The version from last year was so good, I've listened to it at least 30 or 40 times now, but in this one the harmonies are even better. And that glide at the end of the bridge was just so perfectly balanced. And yes, the hang at the end was even better than last time. Loved the red herring banana phone joke. In some ways this version is less in your face, but I think that's okay. Everyone has seen the original recording, there's no surprise anymore.

[@Xemptful]

YES JACKSON!! That last note blew me out of my seat.

[@darksoulzz7779]

Jake’s reaction at the end genuinely gave me chills. His bass has become phenomenal. World class performance from all of them.

[@tsarbucks21]

This version is so clean!! Jake and Joey really shine here. Jackson’s tone is purer than ever!! Marcus is amazing, as always!

[@lavenderjoy79]

Jake at 3:12 LOL 😂Go ahead....click on the time over and over. It's hilarious!

[@actingfunnyonsunday]

Without a doubt one of the best performances that The Newfangled Four have ever done. Vocals are on point! Love them so much!

[@MrDrumStikz]

The fact that Marcus found the camera and stared into my soul...

[@ColaBeGaming]

Weirdly proud to see this as a Norwegian that grew up with Ylvis. Thanks for this amazing barbershop cover! ❤❤

[@jaredcamacho9622]

Can we talk about Jackson casually belting a high C on waaaaaaaales

[@saraalhashimi2650]

Just when I thought this arrangement couldn’t get any better, they did THIS! So well deserved of a medal! ❤🔥

[@harrysetrakian9964]

Babe wake up another NF4 Stonehenge performance dropped

[@timeless9517]

This is one of the greatest songs Barbershop has seen.

[@bakasan8238]

I just listened to the 2023 version yesterday and, while not a surprise anymore, they really drilled this one down and set it apart

[@garreyy2828]

This might be Joey's best performance yet! Absolutely incredible from him in this

[@centralstandardtimeband]

insane synth-y sound @ 2:58 crazy lock also @ 5:39 but thats a nf4 tag of course it rings

[@TheThirdPrice]

That tag is just something else man

[@brentbarrus9754]

They're better with every year that passes. And now a decade strong!

[@kleopatra540]

half step sharp at the end there and Jackson still nails it

[@TheKingdomXIII]

I was scrolling through my recommended and saw “Loser, baby” from the BHS channel and thought- “ain’t no way”. Now I’m glad I clicked! Great job! Haha

[@Earnan21]

This is an amazing updated performance! If I was showing this song to someone for the first time I would use the 2023 version because some of what makes this special involves knowing that performance, but this is just unreal and now I just have 2 to listen to!

[@JamesThatcher]

The look at 1:41 is just magical... Like Stonehenge....

[@cjcvraalten2703]

YEAH JACKSON!!!!! LETS GOOOOOO!

[@Qarl23]

The box! The gold! The question mark! Those production values!

[@EnochRhiza]

I hope you guys keep doing this another 30 years. There are still more songs. Thank you for the joy.

[@emilzzx00]

THERES NO WAY THEY JUST COVERED YLVIS! (think "what does the fox say") thats actually so funny!

[@BrunnyBeatbox]

Entering a semitone sharp at 1:53, and still nailing every chord and note for the rest of the piece…. Well played gentlemen.

[@Lozza1991]

They didn't have a comedy interlude here in the 2023 version - wondering if this plus the extended audience reaction to Marcus' line distracted them from the pitch? They usually nail these entrances. Whyever it happened, to sail on without missing a beat and perform the hell out of the song is ridiculously skillful - and would take nerves of steel to carry it off I think.

[@Tycoolbomb]

I was wondering if anybody else would notice that they did this lmao. The fact that they did so good makes me wonder if they just changed the key because Jackson's range has increased? Either way, still amazing and I agree!

[@BrunnyBeatbox]

@@Tycoolbomb I actually talked to Jackson on one of his livestreams, he said it wasn’t intentional but they just owned it and… it obviously worked!

[@Tycoolbomb]

@@BrunnyBeatbox Obviously! That makes it even more impressive! I remember watching them years ago, getting me into barbershop music, and their improvement has been so great to see! Thanks for the insight!

[@Lozza1991]

@@BrunnyBeatbox That makes sense. It looked and sounded less like a keychange and more like a superhuman effort to make lemonade in a high stakes moment

[@dogma7346]

these guys rock! the me chemistry and vocals are what does it for me

[@nairocamilo]

Darn it! This edition sounds like BUTTER on my hot bread! That tag has me repeating 5:17 I think the camera operator are fans ahhahaha

[@CatholicQuartet]

Dude, Jackson has gotten so much better at being a lead!

[@susandecorrevont2262]

Their Tags are amazing

[@helenl3193]

Initially, I was disappointed it wasn't the Spinal Tap song, but they won me over so fast!

[@audikris]

PURE GOLD.

[@ellistine8139]

Bravo!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Playak550]

Absolutely killed it. Legit the best to me

[@permixtg4322]

NF4 cover of What Does the Fox Say when?

[@Daveodad]

So good....

[@unclesquirm]

TY NF4.

[@cjcvraalten2703]

“Who the frick builds a stonehEEENGE?!”

[@michaelprescott9202]

Bravo simply bravo

[@GambitsEnd]

Imagine if NF4 did What Does the Fox Say... the internet might meltdown.

[@geofox6430]

Ok I'm sorry, the part at 3:35.....WHAT????

[@nairocamilo]

I know!!!!! This version is Radio-ready, hahaha

[@ChristopherHauser-58]

Good bass

[@crying10]

It’s to the point now where it seems like these guys are singing rock at a country music festival. Incredible

[@charlesmangum3108]

LOLOL ❤😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂

[@Greentrees60]

Wow, this year I'm here before Joey!

[@willernst8376]

Someone tell me what song this is based on? Please!!! I know it but can't think of the name or group.

[@TheKrySHOT]

It's Ylvis. Don't know the song, but assume the name is Stonehenge.

[@BrunnyBeatbox]

@@TheKrySHOTyep, it’s Stonehenge by Ylvis.

[@willernst8376]

@@BrunnyBeatbox thanks guys!!

[@tompw3141]

NGL, was expecting the Spinal Tap version

[@christopherwarsh]

Only here because of NF4 😜

[@ranseus]

I feel cheated... I hoped that they were covering the Spinal Tap song.

[@tompw3141]

You can't have a stone henge. By definition, henges are made from wood.
