This CD a definite must-have for any music-lover. If you're thinking of getting just one CD by this amazing vocal group, this is the CD for you! (I do suggest that you get all the CDs these guys have done so far, including the Japanese-produced ones. They are expensive, but I guarantee you, it's money well-spent, ask any diehard!)


Track list: Moments of You, So Much Better, Don't Tell Me You Do, I Am Your Man, I'll Hear Your Voice, Have a Little Faith, A Change in My Life, Song 9, Why, On the Last Night, Ellie My Love, Lift Up, Hold Out for Christmas.

"Don't Tell Me You Do"

This is such a tough choice to make since I have a lot of favorite Rockapella tunes. However, I had to ultimately pick "Don't Tell Me You Do" (from the CD of the same title) because it was the song that got me really interested in Rockapella. Great harmonies, awesome hook, the lyrics tug at the heart-strings and just capture the roller-coaster of emotions that someone feels after a break-up.

I had heard them perform this song live twice. The first time was at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank, CA on August 8, 1999. It was my very first Rockapella concert, and I had only been re-acquainted with them about a month prior to that night. The second time I heard it live was extra special because they did it after my cousin April and I had requested it. It was at the Virgin Megastore appearance they did on May 2, 2000 in Ontario, CA.
