Pentatonix - Aha!
I'm still trying to figure out where to peg Mitch's voice. He's not a countertenor, but he can sing an F# better than me. Curse him.

Delilah - Grenade
This arrangement is heartbreaking. And it's really cool to hear an all-female a capella group. Part of the reason I want to develop my lower register is so that I could be the bass in a group like this or something.

Pretty much. I just... a capella.
AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY COULD SOMEONE TELL ME THE CORRECT SPELLING. Every site says something different. "A cappella" and "a capella" are used interchangeably and I WANT TO KNOW THE RIGHT WAY DAGNABBIT.

Listening to this for the first time, and it's kind of weird. I don't think I like it. O_O

Nah, not a failure. What you said seems to be most common at least.

No, I mean I want to know if there's one p or two.

A capella.
A cappella.
One. Two looks wrong. Even though autocorrect sets it to two."
i actually disagree. i think it looks more normal with two. but then again, spelling of things is so not my strong suit!
It would help if I could hear the correct, Italian pronunciation, because that would tell me whether or not there are two.

does this help?
i use this website for russian pronunciation (i take russian for school) so hopefully it would work for this too.

Hmm... It kind of sounds like it should be one P judging from the first guy, but the others make it hard to tell. BAH. I'm spelling it however I want.

Give me a moment. I'll check my massive style book (I use it to determine some of these ambiguous things).
Wow…this is only the third time I haven't found anything in there. One P seems appropriate, though I suppose you just need to go with what an editor tells you regarding the spelling.
Just checked a dictionary. It's traditionally two Ps, but I still think it should be determined by the editor.

so according to the website sev found, it looks like it's just one of them is the italian spelling (two p's)and the other is the latin spelling (one p).
Huh. Well, thanks guys! Sorry for leading you on that merry chase.

Any time. I loved researching that, because that was an ambiguity I'd never before detected.
Listening to a remix of Palm Tree Escape by Hans Zimmer. Wow.

I KNOW!!! I mean, the piano fingering is depressing, but really? I mean, I've used it for something mellow and something not-so-mellow. It's more versatile than people think, but I tend to limit it to more hopeful pieces these days.
