Listened to this over 100+ times after seeing a clip on TikTok and I’m convinced this is the best acapella I’ve EVER heard! Every single person killed it !

[@kennethbosejr.4933]

So true! You can put this up against ANY acapella: professional, amateur, old, new… It will not compare to THIS!

[@lullac6399]

What clip on TikTok? I need more of her voice! Actually, I need recommendations for acapella TikTok period. It feels like exploring the unknown. No idea how I got on this side of KZbin.

Okay after watching 6 straight videos by them... Ive come to the deduction that she is the best female singer in that group... just woah. The vocal control!!! She sounds like she coated her vocal chords in honey and sucked on Ricola drops for a week before this performance...... I can not handle the liquid gold that is this video. Periodt.

[@MiyLei]

Also dude in the middle in the white shirt on the right is me....... this whole video

why's no one talking about the tall guy on the far right? like damn, he could create an earthquake with that bass voice. I give him credit for that. He made the whole acapella cut deep through the feels.

That chordmagic at 4:19... OMG!

[@iankeithestenzo485]

What's the chord

[@Xander-W]

I know right! I think it's D#11 add 13. I hear a 9 (E) in there too. Low D from the bass, F# from a baritone, a couple of G#s (they're the #11s), and a B in a sop(?) part, which is the 13. It could also be understood as a Dmaj triad (D,A,F#) with an Emaj triad (E, G#, B) on top.
