In a case of perfect timing, I discovered Superfruit’s medley of all 13 track of Taylor Swift’s 1989 just as I was posting my own review of the album.
So I’ll wrap up this not-random weekend with their take on the record, which is predictably awesome. Maybe not up to the level of their Beyoncé medley, but excellent nonetheless.
Superfruit, the most talented 2/5 of the a capella group Pentatonix, continues to release entertaining YouTube videos.
I don’t have the patience to watch most of them, which appear to contain as much dialogue as singing, but I’m a big fan of their medleys.
In addition to their fine vocal performances, the lads of Superfruit impress me with their embrace of absurdity.
It’s one thing to perform the full Broadway version of Wicked‘s ‘Defying Gravity’ and quite another to do so in a blonde wig (for Scott) and green face paint (for Mitch). That’s commitment.
The two male vocal leads from Pentatonix, Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying, produce a YouTube side project called Superfruit in which they crack wise on camera and deliver some pretty amazing songs.
A couple of weeks ago I linked to their performance of the Frozen soundtrack, with fellow Pentatonix member Kirstie Maldonado in support.
