Reason 19: It's August 15th! Exactly one more month until Karla gets married! How exciting :D
So you know I love harmonies. Therefore I love acapella (Sing Off + Barbershop quartets = All my happiness). Here are some of my favorite SOLO acapella songs.
1st up is my favorite Disney medley. This girl is my age! To me, that's pretty insane. She arranged all the songs by herself. ALSO she made her own costumes & make-up design. And she's a theatre kid! This girl is insane, and I want to meet her and be her best friend. This is actually all her channel is, acapella versions of songs. And as you can see, she's got quite the voice on her. Check out the rest of her videos right here!
THIS kid is named Sam Tsui, and he sings. He's done a few acapella videos as well as just singing, where he is often accompanied by his friend Kurt Schneider (he is a musician/director and he made those two medley's I posted a few days ago). I was really impressed with this kid's vocals, and this video is addictive. I keep pressing replay.
This is Mike Tompkins. He can't be human. The sounds he can make! Ridiculous. He is a testament to what I call "singer face" (meaning the ugly faces people make when they sing. If you look attractive when you sing, I can almost promise you you're doing it wrong). But honestly, you NEED to look up this guy's stuff. This isn't even my favorite video of his, but it shows the different "instruments" clearly. Heads up, I've always said no one can remix Daft Punk except for Daft Punk (maybe Deadmau5). Apparently, Mike Tompkins is the exception. He actually does techno really well!
Reason 10: Musical morning. Jam session all day. But I've been pretty heavily focusing on songs that have interesting harmonies to them, such as Pentatonix's cover of Payphone by Maroon 5. I like listening to wonderfully talented people. I'll get there someday, God willing. Until then, we jam sesh in the bedroom until there's no more voice hehe.
ALSO you might have seen these guys during the Olympics?
They're Wenlock & Mandeville! The mascots of the London 2012 Olympics! And it just so happens that one of the youtubers I follow (Carrie Hope Fletcher aka ItsWayPastMyBedtime) and her brother (Tom Fletcher, lead singer of the band McFly) sing the official theme for these guys! And they have some nice simple harmonies, too ^_^
