Little People With Big Voices
For the uninitiated, it can be difficult to understand why people love a cappella. Heck, even for those of us who do actively enjoy it, it can be difficult to put into words why we enjoy this art form so. While we’ll never have a truly comprehensive list of everything cool about a cappella, 200 Reasons to Love A Cappella is our best attempt at assembling a list of what makes it great.
Reason #1: Little people with big voices
Most a cappella enthusiasts have seen it time and again.
It’s the young woman who looks like she would be more at home, tucked away in a library cubicle, than standing up there on stage. Or it’s the diminutive guy who looks like he’s somebody’s little brother, stopping by for Siblings Weekend—not an actual member of a collegiate group. And yet, when that little body steps up to the front of the stage, mic in hand and starts working the crowd you sit back, slack-jawed, buggy-eyed, clapping your hands before you know what you’re doing, because out of that little package comes the biggest voice of the night—Stevie, Celine, Josh Groban ,Whitney, channeled through this tiny vessel, giving you a true show-stopping moment that you’ll remember for years to come.
I love it!
