  1. These were interesting videos. I've never heard of Altar Boyz. I like performances that deal with interaction with the audience. Especially when it's comedy. I couldn't help but to be reminded of N'Sync and The Backstreet Boys when I saw the second video. It bothered me a little because I was never into the whole boy-group pop band. But anyways, the first video was funny; more so of the acting after the song. Oh, and that last line of the song was pretty predictable, but flowed really well.

  2. Those were pretty awesome videos, but who the heck are the Altar Boyz. It was cool whenthey actually interacted with the crowd, it was downright hilliarius. The Altar Boyz remind me a little of N sync, minus the whole splitting up because of differences thing.I kind of expected the last line so they should've made it a sort of surprise so that the audience would'nt expect it. The first video was the best out of them.

  3. I've seen the Texas Tenors on America's Got Talent before, and they are pretty good. I would have to agree with Keean though that they remind me of those pop boy bands. Maybe it's his hair? I don't know but they have pretty good voices. I like the second video the best. The guy in the blue is freaking hilarious! His voice is so high too. Anyways, good videos :)

  4. I love this show!
    I went to see it when it first came to Hawaii and it was great! I love how they make fun of the typical boy band idea as well as making fun of Catholicism. They are all great singers, that is plain to see. They are also all amazing dancers. I especially like the guy in the blue, he has a crazy voice and he is hilarious! I would love to see this show again or even be in it.

  5. I enjoyed both of these performances. The person in the first video is a great singer. It was exciting when he took the audience member up onto the stage, and started singing to her. I was not expecting that. the second video was also very good. There was good synchronization of movements, and they're dance coordination was wonderful. I also enjoyed the display of choreography. This performance in the second video reminded me of the Backstreet Boys, or a similar type of boy band. I found it funny that the guy in the blue shirt was acting gay, because he pulled it off very well.

  6. I enjoyed watching these videos. Both of the videos were interesting. This was my first time hearing anything from the Altar Boyz. But no suprise there, there are so many bands I have never heard of lol. I actually liked them. I liked the dynamic between the preformers. I liked God put the Rythm in me way better than the other song because the other song was really slow. And I don't really like slow songs that much.

  7. As I watched the videos (on Gray's computer) I felt that they were alright. I have never heard of the Altar Boyz (I am guessing they are an unknown band) before this video. They were not that great, but I thought when they were singing to the girl was pretty cool. Like many before my post I also felt they reminded me of the Backstreet Boys and N'sync and I am not sure if that is a good thing.

  8. The guy's voice in the first video reminded me of a Disney character prince. It's nice. I like how clear his voice was. I also liked how exaggerated the acting was towards the end of the video because it made it funny. The second video was exciting to watch to the point where it made me want to laugh. I thought that, that guy in the light blue shirt had a shockingly high voice. I've never heard or seen these guys before.
