Music Genre Review: Acapella

Why don't people who are in acapella groups realize that the only people who like acapella groups are people who are in acapella groups, and that they annoy the crap out of everybody else?

i don't mind a capella as long as they just sing and don't do all that vocal music stuff along with it (like the group 'glad' does)

A singing group I was in met a professional all-male acapella group once and all the girls were flirting with them so my male-friend went up to them and batted his eyes, lifted up his shirt and asked the lead singer to sign around the circumference of his belly-button. True story.

I love acapella! (but I agree with hobbitsister -- when it's good:) not long ago at church there were 4 guys singing "Jesus loves me" and it was so neat! :) (I may be a nerd though;)

:( that's really harsh. acapella's my favorite type of music. especially all men. when they really truly harmonize with each other, i get chills. that's probably the closest to swooning i'll ever get. the magic and power of the human voice deeply fascinates me. i love the way that a human voice on a simple sound can convey an indefinate variety of emotions, and when a man can capture that and control it so beautifully by singing...

swoon! :) ...j/k, but that's where it sounded like you were going there, autosmiler ;) ...and I knew you'd disagree with mel on this one (she needs to check out the nintendo acapella group, huh?;) ...I agree that it's cool they can do that! But yeah, only the guys. ;) Oh, and Jennifer Knapp -- she does good acapella too. :)

If we're gonna get rid of an entire music genre, it should be country. :D

I like country. And acapella. And rock. And Christian. And classical. And opera. I have very eclectic tastes in music, but it makes for a lovely sounding home:)

the girls were flirting with them, busy? i tend to assume they're gay.

i don't mind acapella with just one person singing. but a group is so annoyiong.

I don't like most country, but I was only kidding. :)

maybe you're not listening to the right kind of acapella style... there are barbarshop quartets, and i dunno what else the others are called, but they're pretty disticntly different. And i'm pretty sure that when someone sings alone it's called a solo :-)

y'all really should see 'the break-up' (or come here and watch commercials for channel nine news)
