A musical review, courtesy of my friends at YouTube

I tweeted last night that I have a new singing boyfriend. It's true, I do. I went to see Straight No Chaser (I always want to punctuate their name - that's how obsessed I am with commas - true story) and oh, my word. The kid singing lead vocals on this song? Be still my beating heart. (And I'm not just saying that because he's singing a Mraz song. Though that would have been enough to do it...)



The Lady Gaga Medley? Oh, my. I laughed my fool head off. (I just wish the video was a tad bit clearer. The dancing - and kitty-cat arm moves - hysterial.)



Who loves a deep bass voice? I do, I do!



And who loves a good Michael Jackson cover? Uh... me. (Seriously, one of my fav things about this group is how they take songs from totally different periods/genres and fuse them seamlessly. Oh. My. Gosh.) Check it:



Most people know them for their Christmas stuff:



But seriously, check out their other stuff. Their new album? Seriously, A-MAZING. (And I'm not just saying that because I want you to support me in my new romance.) There's just something about an A Capella group. Straight No Chaser, they make me swoon.

Hi Laurie,

You'll also love to hear they are represented by Barry Manilow's management. :-)

They were AMAZING! And I knew that you'd be hooked! :) Tall, handsome AND a great voice! :)

What a great show to go see. I might be a tad bit jealous. And I thought their Christmas album was amazing. Clearly, there is another one I need to check out asap.

I'm SO jealous! I LOVE them! I would almost kill to see them. I had no idea they were touring. Thanks for sharing these clips.

Whitney said...

Wow, I'm not as murderous as Corinne to see them, but that would be an awesome concert! I found myself clapping after watching each clip! Seriously, next time. Laurie/Whitney Date Night.
