But when a group "loses the song" ~ perhaps the judge meant the melody was lost somewhere.

Sometimes ~ whether it's because of nerves or just a poor arrangement ~ the melody gets buried. Stronger voices get toppy (I KNOW You know what THAT means)....maybe the melody has fallen to the weaker part of someone's range, while the harmonizing voice is in the stronger part of theirs.

Sometimes, when nerves take over, various voices might stop listening to their balance.....

So say You've got Your fingers on the keys of a piano and the left hand is hitting the keys harder than the right hand, so those lower notes are overpowering the upper notes.....did that make sense?

It can go the other way,too.....there can be SO much top that the bottom is drowned out, too.....

The a cappella sound is all about balance.

That does make sense! Thanks.

They sang "Hazy Shades of Winter" and it was good but there was a spot in the middle that seemed kinda 'messy' to me, but other singers had done the same thing before and didn't get fussed at too much for it.

*shrug*

I'm still not happy about them leaving though. I thought they were better overall than the Voices of Lee. Oh, and WHO is Lee? And why does s/he have all these voices???
