I firmly believe that if this was in their set, they would have won first place in everything and Jessie would have won best soloist easily.

[warpscout]

After all this years. Still not just a song.

[HelenNie]

This has gotta be one of the sickest a cappella arrangements of all time...

[sofiac]

Gonna be honest I listen to this at least 3 times a day... no shame

[nancygomes]

0:55 - 1:10 .... absolutely speechless. Their ability to just go in and out and create such a dramatic vocal experience is fucking ridiculous. This arrangement plus her voice have me SPEECHLESS.

[Mavthehuahua]

Just like to say- I commented 5 years ago & 5 years later I’m still obsessed. Need to convert this to mp3!

[samsautter]

Jessie blew me away with this.   Her voice and emotion had me mesmerized.

[kenterchildsplay]

Shoutout to the bass singer for killing the game

[s.n.rabble]

Like many others, I also saw Sing it On on Netflix. Since then, I've been youtubing songs from the groups followed in the show, but also from ones mentions during the ICCA qualification episodes. I've been loving every a capella group I've watched so far, but this performance blew everything away. That was phenomenal.

[abrahamgrigsby]

I come back to this performance year after year. Truly iconic moment I hope you all appreciate. One of the most inspirational a cappella performances I've seen.

[showstopper]

I don't ever comment on YouTube videos, but in all honesty this is hands down the best performance I have seen from the Nor'easters. Everything about this was perfect - from the flawless harmonies to the raw and emotional solo from Jessie. I can't stop listening! My only wish would have been to see this featured on Sing It On.. Keep up the amazing work guys, you deserve all of the success and recognition you are receiving. I have no doubt in my mind that Kevin is looking down upon you all so, so proudly, may he Rest in Peace. Now I'm really eager to hear what you guys will bring to the stage this year, and can't wait for the album! ^_^

[andreaf]

I have been listening to this for weeks, and I still get chills every single time. Jessie is astounding.

[drellalorenzana]

Oh my god I can't stop watching this

[alyvance]

omg Jessie is over her stage fright <3 They are literally the best a Capella group ever

[andrew_Taylors_Version_]

YES! I've wanted Jessie to have a solo and now I have it!!! This should've been in their competition set

[sarahhorowitz]

I can’t believe she had stage fright. Absolutely crushed it and wasn’t visibly nervous like during other shows.

[luvmusicsports]

Just recently found this video (and this group) and to say I am blown away is an understatement... I actually thought this entire video was a recording cleverly overlayed on top of a live video because of the amazing quality of their sound. Only after hearing the slightly awkward spot in the soloist's voice at 2:16 did I realize that this entire performance is live, making it the best performance I have ever heard. Best of luck to the group in the years to come

[lilymoynihan]

I've never heard Jessie's voice stand our before but this was just outstanding

[miss_bri_]

I've been ignoring this big lump in my throat
I shouldn't be crying,
tears were for the weaker days
I'm stronger now, or so I say,
But something's missing

Whatever it is,
it feels like it's laughing at me through the glass of a two-sided wall  Whatever it is,
it's just laughing at me
And I just wanna scream

What now? I just can't figure it out
What now? I guess I'll just wait it out (wait it out)

I found the one, he changed my life
But was it me that changed
And he just happened to come at the right time
I'm supposed to be in love
But I'm numb again

Whatever it is,
it feels like it's laughing at me through the glass of a two-sided mirror
Whatever it is,
it's just sitting there laughing at me
And I just wanna scream

What now? I just can't figure it out
What now? I guess I'll just wait it out (wait it out)
What now? Please tell me
What now?
There's no one to call 'cause I'm just playing games with them all
The more I swear I'm happy, the more that I'm feeling alone
'Cause I spent every hour just going through the motions
I can't even get the emotions to come out
Dry as a bone, but I just wanna shout

What now? I just can't figure it out
What now? I guess I'll just wait it out (wait it out)
What now? Somebody tell me
What now?

[ElimY]

JESSIE YOUR VOICE IS SO AMAZING HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW
