Accapella Groups: Pentatonix by safarigirl(f): 11:10pm On Jun 16, 2015
Since watching Pitch Perfect, I've sorta become obsessed with accapella. And I do think it's a style of music Nigerians are missing out on greatly. So I thought i'd introduce those who aren't familiar with it to this totally awesome and ingenuine way of making music. We should totally introduce it as a social activity in higher institutions. Much more fun than going to parties or fellowships

I'll be profiling accapella groups weekly and once you get a feel of the sound, I promise you'll fall in love with it smiley

First off we have the Pentatonix

lol, the black guy is the most educated one of them. Dude has a Yale degree and is fluent in Mandarin, 3 of the 5 are drop-outs. He sings sometimes, mainly a beat-boxer, but probably the most intelligent one you'll ever know . And he plays the Cello when he's not in the group

Thank you for this. I've known Pentatonix for a while now, and I really love their vocals. They belong to a genre that's kinda obscure in Nigeria.

Yea, I'm a great fan. Still waiting for Pitch Perfect 2 to hit the cinemas in Uyo.
I love this group, especially their rendition of " little drummer boy".

Lol....you must have a special retina for spotting gay vibes grin You're right, he's the one, and he's quite open about it.

Their ages tho, quite doubtful...it's hard to believe that Scott guy with chiselled face like that of superman is only 23

Re: Accapella Groups: Pentatonix by joywendy(f): 11:02pm On Jun 29, 2015
#following finally an A cappella thread! cheesy

By the way op its A CAPPELLA not ACCAPELLA

Always been a fan of A cappella even before that pitch perfect movie, which i feel was not that real especially in some areas. Pitch perfect 2 is out and pentatonix also featured in it.

love that group have most of their songs on my phone. love that kelvin guy for his beatboxing, he also sings i think tenor or treble not sure and that Avi guy some mad ass bass voice grin

dude, even his voice is gay-ish, not that hard grin wink

Scott doesn't look so old when you see him sans airbrush, photo-editing, make-up and the whole nine yards. He has this whole college frat boy look about him, so easy to digest the 23 years ish. Look harder and ignore the jaw wink

The harder I look and the more I ignore the jaw, the more I see an older dude. Guess it's the general thing about them white guys looking way more matured than their age.
Ah! I've got a very serious crush on Kirstie.

Who, in your opinion, is the most indispensable member of the group? I'd say Avi Kaplan
