4th Performance - Pentatonix - Video Killed The Radio Star (The Buggles) Sing Off S3/5 chords
Start Jamming...
Next up is a daring quintet that's making a name for themselves with futuristic vocal remixes.
With their guilty pleasure hit, Pentatonix is hoping a blast from the past can rocket them to the next round.
[Abm] [Gb] Putting [Db] their spin on a top 40 hit, [Gb] Pentatonix failed [B] to impress the judges.
The [E] risky arrangement didn't quite work for me and the appeal of the song was abandoned in making that choice.
That was the first time that we had gotten some heavier criticism.
We just know we need to work really hard because it's a new game [Bb] each week.
You're gonna be the lucky one.
[Eb] This week we're doing Believe by [G] Cher.
I kind of have an issue.
First problem we've noticed [A] with our arrangement is that we've been struggling with the tempo.
[G] [D] [Gm] We just need to be really careful and take what [Dm] bends into heart [B] and not stray from [E] the song too much.
[A] We're taking this song really seriously but they want it to be guilty pleasure, they want it to be fun.
I think we need to bring something different.
[Eb] Nah, it's not working.
Yeah, [Dm] it's not working.
We can change our song but we [Gb] only have like [G] two days.
We should change it up.
Sonos was going to do Video Kill the Radio [E] Star, they made it to Guilty Pleasure Week.
It [D] was so hard to see Sonos go home, we've gotten so close to them.
They're what we want to be so we're doing it and they're on.
[E]
[B] [Bb] I don't want the fear of [Ab] critiques to affect our performance and it's really scary because one wrong move can cost us our dream of winning the Sing Off.
[E] It's very stressful because we don't know if we'll get it [Ab] to where we really want it to be.
I don't want to leave.
[C]
We're pretty nervous about [Bb] switching our song but we're going to take risks because that's what we do.
We just hope America [Eb] and the judges like it because it's a week that we have to show that we're in this to win this.
[N] Trying to tune in a killer performance with the new wave hit Video Kill the Radio Star by The Buggles.
Here is Penna Times.
[Ebm] [Bbm]
[Ebm] [Bb] [N]
[A] [Ab]
[Fm] Thank you for the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology.
So now I understand the problems you can [Bb] see.
[Eb] I [Ab]
met your children.
[Eb] What did you tell them?
Video Kill the Radio [F] Star.
[Gm] Video Kill [Ebm] the Radio Star.
[B] Pictures came and they [N] broke your heart.
Oh oh oh.
You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Star.
Star.
Video Kill the Radio [Gb] Star.
Video [N] Kill the Radio Star.
Am I in my car?
Video Kill the Radio Star.
Alright, Penna Tonics.
Let's go ahead and go to the judges.
Sarah.
Awesome.
I think you guys did what you do so well, really well in that performance.
And that is that you make really distinct, specific, meticulous choices.
And you just deliver them.
Your drum and bass section is just so solid.
And Scott, I think you showed a lot of restraint.
And I really appreciated that.
And I know that you guys made this song choice based on your buddies in Sonos.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which I think that is
Well, I love that.
There's so much camaraderie here and we all make such really close connections with each other.
And I think it was really neat to see you guys representing your buddies.
And I thought that was really cool.
There was just really a lot of ear candy there and it was great.
Hell yeah.
That was great.
Sean.
Oh man.
Pentatonix, I think you guys were sent back from the future to save acapella and do it in a futuristic way.
I think this 80s type of electromagnetic synth saturated, space-aged music is right up you guys' alley.
Because this is what acapella is all about.
It's kind of pushing the limits and pushing the envelope and seeing what else you can do outside of the traditional.
And you guys got a grasp at that.
Good job.
Ben, your thoughts?
Yeah, you definitely hit on something with this one.
There's a looseness about it that just really suited you.
Scott, great voice and the stylings on it.
That's kind of radical because it's such a nerdy song.
And yeah, you got the nerdy glasses.
But your voice
I don't know who else has those in here, but they're probably nerds too.
You're doing this radical because you didn't kind of go robotic on the vocal.
You actually delivered a vocal that had some soul to it.
That was really great.
Every once in a while, you're on top of the beat.
For such a great rhythm section, just when you get excited, you don't need to go on top of the beat.
It's still exciting.
Great work.
Alright, thank you judges.
We'll find out later if Pentatonix will advance.
Thank you guys.
Nice job.
When we come back, button up your tux and get [Gb] ready for our Junior Prom Classic.
[F] Rock sets, listen to your heart.
[Eb] The Guilty Pleasures just [C] keep on coming on The Sing-Off.
[Fm]
[Gb] [F] [Gb]
[F] [Eb] [Bb] It was such a rush to put this arrangement together.
[Gb] And we put it [F] together and made it perfect [Cm] just in time, I feel like.
And it really paid
