She Used to be Mine – Shoshana Bean
I am so grateful that Maggie Renee introduced me to Shoshana Bean’s rendition of “She Used to be Mine,” a song from the musical “Waitress” with music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles and a book by Jessie Nelson. The musical is based on the 2007 film of the same name, written by Adrienne Shelly. It… Read More »
Voctave – Mary, Did You Know?
Voctave resides up at the top of the a capella royalty along with Pentatonix, Home Free and VoicePlay. Unlike the others, they are more classic a capella – no beatboxer. But their sound is absolutely incredible. There are eleven members, most of whom work as members of Voices of Liberty at Disney World in Orlando,… Read More »
Penatonix – Hallelujah
Pentatonix occupies the tip-top echelon of a capella groups. Three high-school friends, Scott Hoying (baritone), Mitch Grassi (tenor), Kirstin Maldonado (alto) decided to participate in the Sing-Off a capella competition television show, but they knew that they would need more members – specifically a bass singer and beat-boxer. A mutual friend introduced Hoying to Avi… Read More »

The current five members are Eli Jacobson (Tenor), Cesar De La Rosa (Baritone/Tenor 2), Geoff Castellucci (Bass) and Layne Stein (Vocal Percussion). They frequently produce videos, sometimes in costume, with marvelously original arrangements, often created by Layne. The group… Read More »
Sohyang – Arirang Alone
This is one of my favorite Sohyang performances. I have provided her performance video and, under it, some of my favorite reaction videos for this performance. Sohyang is a South Korean singer-songwriter who has been dubbed by the international media as the “Korean Mariah Carey”. Sohyang is also an author of fiction, who has published… Read More »
Morissette Amon – Akin Ka Na Lang
I believe Morissette to be one of the greatest singers of our time. She exercises incredible control, breath control that astonishes, a beautiful tone and the most incredibly melodic whistle tone I have ever heard. She also has an incredibly long passage that she navigates without taking a breath – astonishing. I have provided the… Read More »
Sohyang – Day, Day
This is something a little different from Kim So-hyang, known as Sohyang. She is one of my favorite performers. I have provided her performance video but, sadly, at this point there are very few reaction videos for this performance. Sohyang is a South Korean singer-songwriter who has been dubbed by the international media as the… Read More »
