Pure Imagination / White Christmas - The Blenders

This combo of the two songs blew me away. I would love a full version of Pure Imagination though.

Man these guys are good!

some sublime harmonies; though obviously more than four people singing live! and too much autotune... but good job :)

if they are using any auto tune its very minimal...auto tune + vibrato doesnt mix.. i know this to be true...they are just naturally that spot on !!!..so stop hatin sir!!

This is amazing !

@jacobmusicvibe no autotune, no added voices. I've heard them more than a dozen times live since they began almost 20 years ago using no bg/drum sounds besides their own beatboxing. Nothing has changed in their sound since. I'm a music TEACHER, college-trained in aural skills (picking voicings apart to dictate up to 8 parts, passing each class with As. 4 men with incredible voices. Until you've had my level of training and qualifications, please keep your ignorant, jealous hater mouth shut.

YESSSSS!!!!!!! Sounds Awesome!!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is Autotune, and what is the big deal about it?

This is pleasant, but I agree with others that the obvious "stage tricks" are distracting. The pitch correction is heavy, and I don't see the point of a 4-man group doing arrangements live with 6 (and more) part harmony.

Compare defenelly is Autotune watch?v=kzqbtOPo-Qc

so beautiful!

@Randi Heisler, you may be a music teacher, but they do use auto tune, you can hear it! Having qualifications means absolutely nothing if you're wrong when it comes to applying your 'excellent' aural skills.

Guys, I've used plenty of pitch correction. Vibrato and auto tune does work, and quite well. And any moron, including trained teachers can see that there are more voices here, I mean really guys, it can't even be debated, duh...but that's not saying they aren't amazing it's just let's call a spade a spade. Don't forget, auto tune is a sweetener, u still have to sing pretty great...

So, did they do the whole concert in playback?

i can hear the autotune bc of drake and joshs scene change music

It's great!!

No need to argue at all. they are not singing live

magnifique ! thx

Love this harmony! You guys are great!

Best medley ever :')

As good as their sound is, tell me they're not dubbing in other voices!  Four guys trying to sound like eight.  Those harmonies are just too complex for four voices.  It's a piece of cake to pull off, with some good studio overdubbing and timing between sound man and singers.  Hey, BLENDERS, 'fess up.  Sounds like another Milli Vanilli!  Make me a liar!  Dae Hwan Hwang from 8 months ago nailed it, too.  See below.

play back

best and warm . i love it . awesome!!!

Love these guys

Nicely done.😎

hence that's why they are called The Blenders

They're the Blenders, I get that. But where's Marty the Rabbit Boy?

Auto--tune and lip-synchronize. I still love the sound.

THE MOST SURREAL VOICES EVER

Theirs no autotune, you gotta know how to combine voices to create beauty to hear in you ears , they are professional accapella singers ,

Just saw them do this in concert last weekend and they were fantastic, just like always.

This is just 4 guys that have mastered the skill of autotune, pitch correction and playback, three things that can make a flock of seagulls sound like Josh Groban.

Pure silk- that’s all

Holy Cow!!! They sound exactly like they do on their CD of this song!! It's rare that happens in live a cappella groups.

Much like the Do You Hear What I Hear video, this is just the album audio played over video of their live performance. I've got both playing simultaneously and they are identical. Not even a syllable out of place.

The Blenders - Originally from Fargo, North Dakota,
The four members of The Blenders - Tim Kasper, Ryan Lance, Darren Rust and Allan Rust (replacing original member Paul Dunkirk) - built up their fan base on the strength of a primarily a cappella singing style. Although their music in recent years has included instrument-backed recordings, there has always been a focus on The Blender's own style of vocal-based harmonies. The group has toured the U.S. with such acts as Jay Leno, Howie Mandel, Savage Garden, Jonny Lang, Blues Traveler, Chicago, The Righteous Brothers, Lou Rawls and Chuck Berry.[4]

They have appeared on a variety of national and regional television shows including The Arsenio Hall Show, The Today Show and Crook and Chase on TNN. Their music has been used for films such as The Perfect Holiday and Nothing Like the Holidays.[4] Albums usually include some of their own original songs, plus covers of music that ranges from standards to decidedly non-traditional fare. They have recorded for four different labels: Cowtown Records, Primarily A Cappella, Orchard Lane Records (A former division of the Musicland Group) and Universal Records. Their release for Orchard Lane was co-produced by former member of Prince (musician)'s New Power Generation, Levi Seacer, Jr.

Been my staple diet all through Christmas :}

Your Christmas album is one of the only two Christmas albums I listen to every winter holiday season. I love your music!

Lovely 6 part harmonies!
