Have you ever started laughing with your best friend and simply could not stop? Not sure if these two are best friends, or sisters, but this has to be one of the most infectious videos I’ve seen in a long, long time. I was smiling the entire way through.
Does anyone know who this is? I love love love how committed she is to singing it, and the looks her friend/sister is giving her. Seriously made my day.
@TomSacharski Nice.
In one hour I'll be appearing live (via satellite) on Australia's morning TV show "Sunrise". Live stream here: http://t.co/5CgPRg7F

The look on her friend's/sister's face at 0:25 is priceless! LOL!

I'm still laughing! Of course, most of us have been in this situation, right??? You're with non-singer friends, and you begin singing choir music, causing them to give you such looks! Priceless. =)

I'm the girl singing in the video, and the other girl is my sister, Larique. The reason she was giving me those "looks" is that she was trying to think of the harmony, but wasn't too familiar with the song. Thanks for posting this in your blog, Mr. Whitacre! I feel so honored. I love your music :)
Eric on November 6, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Larianne,
I KNEW it must be your sister! THANK YOU so much for such a great video – my wife and I were smiling all day because of it. My wife, Hila, was especially impressed with your voice and sense of pitch, as was I.
If you haven't done it already, please post a video for the Lux virtual choir. We need your gorgeous voice!
Eric

Thanks so much!

Awwww… that's my friend Larianne. How did I not see this video before? And when you got the harmony together and started acting crazy…. AWESOME!!! LOL

This might seem alittle random but I think you should see what your whole "virtual" music ideas have inspired in other youtubers in other ways:

Nothing shows musical passion than doing it rock style in different countries. lol
