Covering a Beyonce song is very difficult but the YouTube duo Superfruit decided to take on the challenge and they killed the performance. Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying are members of an a cappella group called Pentatonix and they covered the entire self-titled Beyonce album in five minutes.
To top off their performance the two were in sweatshirts that read ‘Surfboard’ and ‘No Angel.’ From beginning to end each note is perfect and their harmonizing voices fit perfectly together. The way they mash up some of the songs and introduce others is breathtaking.
They said that, “We couldn’t decide what Beyonce song to cover,so we decided to cover the entire album :).” All I can say is that the Superfruit performance was flawless.
