I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you yeah

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you

I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down to all I see

Such an amazing performance. You could tell that almost everyone in that knew that they were singing in one of the most amazing performances they may ever be apart of. They definitely need to invest in the show and blow it up for all it's worth. Stretch the season out, make fan voting a huge roll and keep bringing back Courtney Jensen with a different group each season until she wins!

So good... anyone who is a musician can appreciate how unbelievable the key change was. To get all those peeps to hit that and retain pitch and the key. I can only imagine how the girl felt who had to hit that key change and how worried she was about hitting it. WOW. They're all SO good! I'm in Awe.

This is One of those moments in music i'll always remember and come back to when i'm having a bad day amazing and i've heard it a million times and it still gives me goosebumps to this day.

I just came here to listen to Jeremy sing "I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see". This man's voice is crystal!

@avafiery I was in the audience that night to see my son Brennan "Sassy" Caldwell of the Whiffenpoofs ("I'm ready now" at 2:25) and it was marvelous to hear this song in person.

Brennan is such a wonderful singer! And comes across like a wonderful person too. You must be super proud of him!

In my opinion, THE best opener out of all the seasons.

Apart from the amazing transition through the key change, which was executed masterfully by Catherine from the backbeats, there is very cool visual that most people missed. the entire upper deck is dark and presumed empty, but then on the downbeat, after Catherine's solo, the rest of the cast springs up for an even more powerful arrival point. Just very cool performance with amazingly talented people! It is a privilege to even hear this work of art. Thank God for ears!

Dude my sentiments exactly... I've been in production enough to know how freaking brilliant THAT was!!!

This song is on my list of "Best Musical Moments Ever" That key change enver fails to give me absolute goosebumps. This is beyond almost everything else I've heard musically out there. So many talented peopel all focusing on a giant surge of epicness.

I love this so much! Ever since I saw this, I've been searching youtube for other good covers of Use Somebody and The Water Boys at the University of Waterloo up in Canada did a sweet cover of Use Somebody too! :)

In my eyes, this is the BEST opening of Season 2. Now that Pitch Slapped and Men of Note were taken out, I can hear the best effects of the 8 remaining groups. And the first crescendo that leads into everyone coming in absolutely BLOWS ME AWAY every single time. Best opening, hands down. Season 1's Under Pressure and Season 3's Sing has nothing on this.

JK Stones

Hands down BEST performance on the Sing-Off ever.

I keep coming back to this. Such amazing fantastic musicians with little or no electronic correction - it is a rare thing these days. This piece always gives me goose bumps.

Thank you so much for putting this up! The opening numbers are much harder to find than the individual group performances, and I was going crazy to see this again!

So many frickin amazing things about this song and this version. I am addicted to OTR and Jeremy Lister's voices respectively. Man

Ashley Park

This is such a great song with amazing singers! I especially like it because they don't only use white, black, asian; etc, people. This is sooo much better than any TV show in the world!! They have so many fantastic singers! LOVE IT!

Jackie Goodall

12y

OMG!! there is just something that happens to me in the pit of my stomach when they sing this song together.OMG!! I love Kings of Leon and this is a beautiful song don't get me wrong, but there is just something so pure about Use Somebody when they sing it accapella like this. They did an awesome job!! Real Music and Real Talent

Ethan Baird

I think this moment was the pinnacle of what music reality television can produce. This was heartfelt. It was beautiful and it showcased over twenty soloists from many different styles of singing. If you can think of a better moment I'd love to hear it.

Jay Lynch

12y↑1

Love it when Catherine from the backbeats sings just before the Key change an amazing moment for sure.

Joshua Rameka

At 2:34 my jaw absolutely dropped. These people are amazing, and will go far in life. I love acapella. because it shows the true talent of raw voices. There's no hiding behind instruments.

Hearing these group songs gave me soooo much chills. This, along with 21 Guns are my favorites. And CALDWELLJ your son sounded wonderful. I have a soft spot for the Whiffenpoofs.

Buenavene

Awesome! Ive been a part of a Singing group since high-school and been a fan of acappella music ever since. Acappella trully brings Harmony, Blending, and Beauty to Songs. Like my Music Teacher told me... THE HUMAN VOICE IS THE BEST INSTRUMENT OF ALL! This is a showcase of how the human voice can create artistry thru acappella music. Thank you NBC and Sing-off for bringing Acappella into the mainstream!

With Jeremy at the opening & closing & Jerry singing the backup parts for flavor - makes this a sing off all time classic!e

All of them combined, would make an awesome acapella super group, and they'd conquer the world!

Only just heard about this program. We're deprived of it down here in Oz. I am stunned how great it is. I am a sound engineer and in awe of the audio boys doing this show. How many RF mics, cues & the EQ on the bass & beat box voices. Wow - Such talent and quality production. Hats off to y'all concerned & performing. Expect tons of hits now from down-under guys

Steven Graham

12y

I love how even in the beginning openers they use the soloists from the top 4 groups to solo the openers, they want to split it up...but we all know that when the top 4 are singing, thats when we love it.

Jim Caldwell

10y

Absolutely no doubt about it. The key change by Catherine Ricafort of The Backbeats at 2:33 was the highlight of all three seasons of The Sing-Off. So glad I was a member of the studio audience to hear it live. Originally aired on December 8, 2010.

Lindsey Wayne

12y

this was deffinately my favorite group performance out of all of them!!

Andrew Ferguson

12y

You know a lot of times modulation in a cappella songs is just sort of thrown in as a change up but the key change at 2:34 is incredible, adds such another level to it. I'd kill to be half as talented as anyone on that stage.

Zachary Mathew

The best part about this (aside from the singing--THAT'S a given) is the end, when everyone's looking out at the crowd amazed by the standing O. As if they don't know how really amazing they are and that was.

Wischeart

As a fan of Sing Off - this showcases the talent this show brings. Keep it on the air for more than 3 weeks so we get a better chance to see the acts and get involved in the voting. Love it!!

Wahine Surfer Girl

I believe that all of The Sing Off contestants should have a compilation album. I'm pretty sure they will definitely sell like hotcakes, now that they have a growing fan-base. :)

literally gives me chills

Ron Band

No doubt this was the best of all ofthe group songs through seasons 1-3. It is just an exciting song to hear and with Jeremy at the start and finish, it just adds to the flavor. It seems that season 2 had some of the best lead singers so far. It also premiered "Apologize" , "If I were a Boy" and "Soul Sister" all very powerful.

Raziroth

I get chills every single time I hear this song.

@caldwellj OMG he's your son?! I have quickly become a HUGE Whiffenpoofs fan, it's just a shame this group of guys won't be together after their senior year. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll stay in touch after graduation. You must be so proud! I downloaded "The Whiffenpoof Song" and have it on repeat at work! I hope that money is going toward Brennan's tuition!

season 2 imo is probably the best openers since all the groups sound so well together

I just love the expression of pure joy on Jerry Lawson's face at 2:52. He looks so happy that he forgot to sing.

@acapellacious I know! They have successfully created the 'wall of sound' that most electronic music is known for, but with nothing but their voices. That is SICK.

@Klipik nope, the voice sucks, almost never produxe generational talents... Imo their best talent is christina grimmie, and she already had a youtube following before the voice

Klipik

In the Voice's defense, it's probably the next best singing show after this.

Savontae Diggs

I'd paid so much money to see Nota, Committed and Pentatonix in concert together. All three have their own flavor that they add to every song they touch.

Ditto! UNBELEVEABLE talent around the BOARD! -NBC needs to pick it back up for another season as THIS SHOW has the most variety of singing talent I have seen in a VERY long time -

The arrangers of the combined numbers in both series deserve enormous praise for not only the choice of each wonderful piece but the amazing arrangements. Awsome awsome awsome. Oh to be one of those singers and to be a part this experience of so many talented people coming together to create such powerful and joyous music.

@ 0:42 there is something wrong with you if his solo doesnt give you chills...

Jonathan Umbrella

Goosebumps Every. Damn. TIME!!!

Gavin Napier

I'd go with either "Fix You" or the initial Pentatonix performance as "the" moment from the show. Regardless, I'm grateful that it's been renewed for a fourth season.

Lari Austin

I've never seen so much talent in one room...and to think it was all acapella.

Alexander Shaindlin

Jeremy's voice for that was amazing

rx55

The "moment" for the show for me was the Backbeats "If I were a boy" performance. Was that where the key change was? Also memorable "No One" from Season 1 and "Wave the Flag" Season 3. "Bad Romance" by On the Rocks was great too.
