And also to note that they took home first place in this International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) One of the judges for this semifinal was Kristina Wood, whose bio noted that she had worked with A.R. Rahman on a music for a number of films, includingSlumdog Millionaire. Oh the irony, that that’s exactly where The Stereotypes were headed with their closer, “Jai Ho.” Forgive my language, but this is probably the single ballsiest song choice I’ve ever seen an accomplished group make in a competition set. The solo was solid, and the choreography was, by far, the most fun of the night. The guys used a positively sick stomp and clap routine for percussion at one point. This is a textbook example of how you close a set—saving your most powerful, barn-burning number for the end; picking a song that very few a cappella groups in the world are doing; executing the heck out of it. I simply can’t say enough good things about this song, easily my favorite set closer I’ve seen so far in 2010. http://www.acappellablog.com/2010/03/22/event-review-icca-midwest-semifinal-at-michigan-theater/ __________________________________________________________________ Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane with All new Yahoo!
