[@jasonfieler]

Arranged by Clay Hine

[@campfire2953]

Thanks for saying this!

[@EmperorsPooDoof]

chris keough has the smoothest tone of any bass i've ever heard. please sing me to sleep my good sir

[@davidwintman6869]

It’s nuts how good he is

[@Rdac0]

As with many others, NF4 introduced me to barbershop. I always wonder why they never win, but oh my god this is the competition

[@melodys3392]

NF4 actually got 5th this year! Though everyone in the 10 was incredible as well! They're gonna get there! (Also this is from the Semi-Finals lol)

[@dukeofkings8942]

Arrangers for the 10, ranked by the number of arrangements: Patrick McAlexander: 9 Clay Hine: 8 Melody Hine: 6 Theo Hicks: 5 Aaron Dale: 4 Dan Wessler: 4 David Wright: 4 Brent Graham: 3 Kohl Kitzmiller: 3 Kyle Snook: 3 Jim Arns: 1 Andrew Carolan: 1 Brian Mastrull: 1 Justin Miller: 1 Gabriel Spector: 1 An interesting look at the people behind the magic taking place. This piece was arranged by Clay Hine.

[@Bowling_Dude]

what about Anthony Bartholomew

[@Lozza1991]

@@Bowling_Dude That was my first thought too

[@jasonfieler]

Amazing winners!!!!! So much fun to see them this year!!! Can't wait for Tony's 6th!

[@steveboone1498]

And the first one he won with his son

[@4partharmony208]

I can wait if it means we get more awesome music from this foursome!

[@CatProductionStudios]

Then form another quartet... And win! Then form another quartet... And win! Then form another quartet... And win! Then form another quartet... And win! Then form another quartet... And win! (All jokes. Props to tony and the whole quartet!)

[@steveboone1498]

The last three were without Joe Connelly

[@oliverdelica2289]

Gold medal fight 😂🥇🥇🥇

[@Arrdeegee]

i'll admit im a complete novice about this, but doesn't it get a bit much at some point?

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

@@Arrdeegeenot for me. Each quartet brings something entirely different to the table because it’s not the same members. It’s great to see legends like Tony use his voice in different ways with different people

[@crisfranco4717]

Terrific wardrobe evocative of the lion, tin woodsman, scarecrow & Wonderful Wizard of Oz!

[@jesusthroughmary]

Josh is Dorothy actually, note the ruby slippers

[@EthanFrahm]

Good grief, I'm STILL so obsessed with this quartet. And now they're Champions to boot! Congratulations to one of my favorite champs in recent years!

[@shokimura-b5r]

Most of us thought they would sing "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead" again. But their performance was beyond imagination.

[@saraalhashimi2650]

I thought that way too! 😁❤️

[@TheoHicks]

There is so much joy in this performance!! I can’t get enough!!

[@AntonEriera-qn1eu]

Brilliant!

[@WilliamAiken]

Josh Szolomayer post is so effortless, well done guys!

[@keithpennington8259]

Any quartet with Tony as a baritone is half way there. Great work.

[@magdalenejackson5375]

So good, all of them. The bass is my favorite, though. Rock solid.

[@dukeofkings8942]

Called it. I knew this was their year, no question about it.

[@steveboone1498]

They didn't have lemon squeezy and Stockholm Syndrome trying to steal the show this year

[@dukeofkings8942]

@@steveboone1498 honestly i think even with squeezy back they win here it'd for sure be tough but i'm confident Stockholm Syndrome hasn't been around for a few years now, i'm not sure why they're brought up i'm not the biggest fan of Squeezy but I think they do probably win if they're back next year, but if not I genuinely believe Gimme Four is championship material

[@steveboone1498]

@@dukeofkings8942 I would consider it a toss up next year between gimme four and first take. Here's a little history, the lead of gimme four was the original lead of first take. The current lead of first take was the original tenor

[@Honey_Beef]

@@steveboone1498 That isn't even true... G4 was formed in 2011 with the same lineup ever since. FT was formed in 2018, with Drew, Christian, Anthony and Andrew (T L Br Bs). In late 2019, Christian left the group and the lineup was changed to Alex, Anthony, Drew and Andrew. SS disbanded in 2019; the three in the current Ringmasters line-up isn't actively competing anymore but Simon just competed with Primer this year. LS is very much active, but didn't participate this year because David (lead) just became a dad. I'm pretty sure LS would come back next year :) As with 2025 predictions... it's way too early to say, but definitely don't count The Ladies out!

[@MattThe]

I hope these guys sing together for a long, long time

[@figmo397]

Is it me, or is this the fastest a quartet has ever gone from formation to Gold? OTOH, with Tony in it, this shouldn't be a surprise. The man is The GOAT!!!

[@JoyfulNoise2424]

Close...I'm pretty sure Acoustix won their first time out in 1990, and so did Dealer's Choice in 1973. This definitely was a speedy rise to the top!!

[@4partharmony208]

Third time Tony's won in his second year (Keepsake and Platinum too)

[@mosesjohnkariuki556]

2:29 - 2:35 is THAT part for me.Chris' "Gotta keep on moving" is like being taken back to Soul Train. Amazing performance! Truly glad these guys won!

[@YuuRic]

I loved seeing these suits the last time, so glad they brought them back!

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Damn Chris is so so smooth .. This entire thing gets played every time it pops up in my algorithm. Congrats guys . ..

[@suziejewell3]

WOOHOO!!! I love it!!! My Dad in heaven I bet is smiling too!!!

[@adoniascarloscarriel1384]

wow...more more Chris, Tony, Joshua and Joseph!!!!!! what a quartet!!!

[@normabuckley3198]

So good. Each one is a soloist. Kept my attention and made me happy.

[@tylercollins9323]

HELL YEEEEAH! Funnest song Ive listened to from a quartet, no joke and they deserve the win

[@lukemccrory]

This was the smoothest transition! Incredible

[@shadowsatdawn2045]

hello 👏 thats a gold medal quartet right there

[@platypusmusic8843]

Outrageously good! The horns were so tight as well 😂

[@Tequila4Two]

I love that they all represent a character from the Wiz.

[@billiehanson1622]

So happy to see Tony in full bloom again!!

[@shawngavinthomasmusic]

MAN, this is solid!!! Incredible performance!

[@bellastaples8125]

oh i love the wiz representation. this arrangement is too fun. such a fun watch!

[@frak7190]

The minute I heard those horns I knew they were champs

[@saraalhashimi2650]

Gave me Main Street vibes those horns! ❤️🔥

[@saraalhashimi2650]

One of the most fun arrangements I’ve seen! ❤️

[@TootsieIEC]

Perfect way to start my day!!

[@k012957]

As the song progressed, it just kept getting better and better.

[@terrimcgrath3223]

Goosebumps on my goosebumps!!! Wow!!! ❤️🎶❤️🎵‼️

[@crenner07]

Wow!

[@jacobbau8328]

Why's the audio quality this year so fuzzy? Last year was so crisp. But 3.5 make anything sound good.

[@thatelectropig8678]

Yeah I also noticed that, the mics sound weird this year I swear it’s different every year

[@graysonhoskins2316]

So so good

[@jayblueguy9932]

👏👏👏👏

[@mommaowl]

Fun!!

[@Dustin1047]

WOW!!

[@Tb0n33999]

That one with the Uhaul truck killed me in Cleveland, they won for a reason.

[@saraalhashimi2650]

They didn’t do that one. I think you’re thinking of First Take.

[@bjrbulvine]

Incredible!

[@user-qb8jv9vy4e]

Who else can get away with silver lamé(sp?) suit? Damn their sound and timing, no wonder they won.

[@jamesducey2685]

Whom is the half one. Because I can hear you are all wonderful! Your might consider a common style rather than a mishmash?

[@shouldibetrusted1191]

They aren't matching because it was their Wizard of OZ night, they match on the night of the finals. The half man in the group is the tenor Joseph DeRoza.

[@jmazs]

@@shouldibetrusted1191why is he the half?

[@shouldibetrusted1191]

@@jmazs Because when he joined the quartet he was relatively young so they just called him the half man.

[@ryanmcclure8175]

​@@jmazs He's the son of the baritone

[@jesusthroughmary]

​@jmazs I believe he was under 18 when they started the quartet, and he's Tony's son

[@bobdenis5649]

Not to take anything away from this great championship quartet, but barbershop is dangerously straying away from its original core values. Contemporary songs are rarely conducive to great bonafide barbershop arrangements with archetypal circle of fifths implied harmony and dominant 7th's. What is needed are song writers in the barbershop style as opposed to modern songs being "forcefully" arranged in a somewhat barbershop resemblance. I understand that the Society needs to grow and evolve with new generations, and that modern singing material might be more enticing. But the art and science should still be preserved by encouraging witty arrangements of "barbershop songs", instead of force fed arrangements of poor modern material. I expect many of you to disagree...
