The barbershop harmony society should just change their motto to "I never knew I wanted this, but now I want nothing but this."

[@I.KUchiha]

😂😂😂💯

[@francislau6657]

The entire New Fangledfour Quartet is in here. Plus, the lead from Masterpiece.

[@Selichan42_SA]

I spotted Jake and Ryan but where are the others? Edit: I found them!

[@SethBocknek]

how the hell a flock of human beings can scatter-float for 17s a perfectly tuned, unwavering high 3rd at the end of a performance for which most would require resuscitative assistance is beyond me.

[@BenCantrell]

Two words: Joey Bus

[@danielpham3034]

Ben Cantrell lmao that made my day, Joey Bus

[@gregstickler3798]

In other words it was ok I can relate with my nff lead standing on back tier that’s about the rhythm I have

[@benjaminkonicki7717]

I like your funny words magic man lol. I have done barbershop and never heard those terms (5 years later but oh well)

[@blessed7927]

Haha well said! Lol

[@rynavarro]

I spot the Newfangled Four!

So there's Jake and Ryan I only see.

[@jesusthroughmary]

@@izno1996 Jaxt7 is in the back row, 4th from the right

[@Wahl95]

“We stand as one” at 1:56 is SO impactful... gorgeous!

[@Bowling_Dude]

one of the best harmony to unison placements in history

[@frankmarkovich5642]

The perfect balance between pure technical singing and raw emotion.

[@jenniferdo3998]

true. I have the same felling. just take a deep breath, before you're certain about making an attempt to mimic 100%

[@maxmikkelsen166]

Frank Markovich listen to musical theatre

[@KenMurphy615]

If THIS is where modern barbershop is headed, then I'm completely obsessed.

[@ohhellfire2728]

3:47-3:53 from the basses is absolutely disgustingly good

[@jeffreyprows3982]

To me, this chorus just has the most pristine sound of all. Perfect blend, superb clarity... Westminster just seems to be the pinnacle of Barbershop Chorus singing to me.

[@CatholicQuartet]

This is truly a legendary chorus performance to behold forever.

[@toddjohnsonstl]

I've watched nearly every week since Pitt. It really is incredible. OK…dat unison at 1:55!!!!! Chills

[@dynamitejones7141]

I was about to say the same thing, but you beat me to it!

[@themusicman5578]

+Todd Johnson I have replayed this just to hear that unison argh so much yas

[@noahgrant7311]

Todd Johnso

[@patrickvolpe4509]

1:57 for some reason gives me goosebumps

[@ryanmajka885]

Unison can do that. I wonder if there are any research papers over the physical sensation that certain chords and overtones can produce in the human body. Even before I was trained music had the ability to create goosebumps.

[@trevora1886]

Incredible. I can't even put it into words, really. Not to mention that first front man was on a whole new level than I have ever seen. His attitude, energy, movement, and expression is honestly a huge inspiration to me. Everything all together though was just explosively amazing. I was IN the Newsies for that 6 minutes.

[@Sundancebandsandiego]

I'm so proud of my nephew Justin Miller and his amazing Chorus. Enjoy your well earned victory.

[@edbostrom]

If you've sung with Justin, you know you've sung with the greatest!

[@NonCommunistVietnamese0703]

In Field Day in my Catholic school in Wisconsin, I was in chorus and we sang this. But we practiced previously and the song forever engraved in my head. I love this song

[@jesusthroughmary]

This might be the most masculine thing I have ever seen in barbershop.

[@michiganfamily1]

I've listened to this at least a hundred times and shared it with other musicians. I sang in the Lansing Michigan Chorus (Capitol City Chordsmen) back in the early - mid 1990s while still in high school and have never lost my love of barbershop. The overtones on the final chord are just miraculous - gives me goose bumps every time I listen!

[@JohnnyKiel949]

Jon Stanton I am in the capitol city chorus right now and we are working on this song.

[@phoebegilliland8897]

They used lyrics from both versions. I'm in love.

[@wetoffey]

Let's bring this kind of performance to every town... it is so amazing.

[@robertshelton3057]

William Toffey Let's get every town to CREATE this kind of performance and bring it to the world!!!

[@mackindle12345]

That bass entry at 3:50 is absolutely insane!! Such a joy to listen/watch this :D

[@themusicman5578]

+mackindle12345 Jesus

[@atteheikkinen]

+mackindle12345 It's so ridiculous :D Like, most lead sections couldn't even do that, let alone basses.

[@mackindle12345]

atteheikkinen I mean, I'm a baritone (maybe not in the barbershop sense!), and I can barely chest an A if I'm lucky, and these guys nail a high Bflat entry out of nowhere! Incredible to watch, but makes me quite jealous ahaha!!

[@RalphPriessman]

Justin and ALL members: As a former member of the VM (1994-97) I think this performance ranks among the best 4 or 5 I've ever heard or performed in. I'm completely blown away.Keep up the great work!!

[@RalphPriessman]

Ralph Priessman Watched this again several times and have reconsidered: Not one of the best 4 or 5 - THE BEST!!!!!!

[@RalphPriessman]

+BHS2011able LOL!

[@calebfinkle1590]

Never before have I heard an overtone so out there like the ending chords.

[@brianmchaney7473]

Right?? That was two octaves up!!

[@SK0Ot3r1]

1:56 chills...

[@ProfBuck42]

I'm not sure if I should feel offended on how breathtaking those voices are or not.

[@andrewhill6606]

My opinion... But think this will be very difficult to beat ever in terms of a full barbershop package. Tuning. Passion. Chords. Everything. And all done a Disney theme which is can sometimes be a bit cheesy arrangement wise. Pure class all round.

[@markfriden7662]

This performance - this chorus! - just blows me away!

[@streetzmdv7811]

Still one of my favorites from this group. Cheers!

[@browncatt1]

Thats a heap of musical testosterone! Unfreakinbelievable unisons within each part. Apart from the guy that missed his " FIGHT " entry 😊 So clean and bright. Shimmers like a diamond. Wonderful gentlemen. NEVER tire of listening to this group.

[@74leeman]

Fantastic singing, artistry and performance. Awesome stuff from the 2015 champs. Thanks guys!

[@MSA03]

i can't stop listening to this! This entire contest was stacked

[@dinascharnhorst6590]

This. Is. Barbershop. Perfection.

[@alexbrandenburg2836]

So I've listened to this 20 times in the past 3 days please help me

[@Dan-bf4tw]

It is enrapturing, isn't it. It's my favorite. Inflection is like perfect, with a few OOQ moments. But I think its the best ever overall in my view.

[@VKDM8687]

I didn't know Leonardo DiCapri sang with you guys! AWESOME!! ((lol))

[@ItsDaveTweats]

+Ryan H. Turner Where is his Oscar for this performance?!

[@themusicman5578]

I feel like I can hear the NF4 singing the loudest

[@HS-jz4op]

They always do ♥️🥺

[@menaroark8619]

That's them!

[@BritishAntics24]

Would love see them cover the whole soundtrack for the movie and the Broadway show....

[@Tasisingsstuff]

7 years later and I cannot express how much gender envy this chorus gives me and I'm so envious

[@justanerdyhobbitgirl]

My favorite musical; thank you for this 😄

[@LCETKEPK239]

I still can't believe I was in Pittsburgh to see this in person!!!

[@danielpham3034]

[@I.KUchiha]

This still gives me goosebumps 😭😭❤️❤️

[@rileysdad1923]

Wow! What a song, arrangement and performance!

[@HearteartHdragon]

The director is phenomenal

[@BudFieldsPPTS]

After all the times I have witnessed this immaculate performance, I wind up asking myself the same question: "Was there some moment (besides just before coming on stage) that this impossibly amazing group of men KNEW they had won?"

[@LukeBobRobinson]

Absolutely incredible.

[@richardburchard]

OMFG - the end.

[@syeofficial2351]

I spy with my little eye The Newfangled Four. Wanna play where's Waldo? 1:58

[@Andrew-ry9be]

This sounds like a national anthem.

[@SignatureStampsFan]

I've listened to that tag over and over. My goodness the over & undertones are ridiculous. You're just enveloped in sound. Amazing.

[@gamo1301ongaku]

元気出ます。有り難うございます。

[@Dan-bf4tw]

This is the best performance of a chorus in BBShop history, despite other scores. The first 40 or so bars are the best example of how inflection makes music on a "ballad" building toward an "uptune" I have ever heard. (This chorus has many other examples of that.). As a one time judge, there are a few places to extract a point or two--the talk part on "fight, fight, fight fight fight got OOQ, one chord in the tag was a bit OOQ, and the raucous 2nd half had some imperfections), BUT, AMAZInG: greatest performance in BHS history. Of course, everyone's entitled to their opinion. To me, it is shockingly good -- simply amazing. And, the arrangement didn't hurt :).

[@rebeccapall]

quite literal perfection

[@user-sh3sy9jy6w]

日本の人がいる！すごいなぁ

[@HylianSpirit]

Amazing, and powerful. Also, as an aside, that's a pretty clever logo.
