PITCH PERFECT: THE QUEST FOR COLLEGIATE A CAPELLA GLORY
Did you know that? Pitch Perfect was based from a book entitled, Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate a Cappella Glory which was written by Mickey Rapkin?
Pitch Perfect is a behind-the-scenes look at the bizarre, often inspiring world of collegiate a cappella groups.The first collegiate a cappella group, the Yale Whiffenpoofs, was founded by Cole Porter back in 1909. But what had been largely an Ivy League phenomenon has, in the past fifteen years, exploded. And it's not what you think. There are now more than 1,200 a cappella groups at colleges across the country. The very best of these collegiate groups square off in the annual International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella showdown marked by wrenching close calls and exhilarating triumphs.

Can't Get enough of Pitch Perfect? Well Try the original story! The book by Mickey Rapkin but you need to use you're wild imagination for you to hear those beautiful and creative songs ~
THE TREBLE MAKERS
Treble Makers is one of the acapella group that was featured in the movie. Well, They are the number one competitors of The Bellas in every competition even though they share the same University which is The Barden University. The tension didn't stop in there, The Bellas - Leader Aubrey, Instructed her co-members to not to be friend or flirt with Trebles cause they bring Troubles ~
MAIN MEMBERS OF TREBLES:
They are led by the egotistical Bumper (Adam Devine). The film's male lead Jesse Swanson (Skylar Astin) joins and later brings in his roommate Benji (Ben Platt) when Bumper leaves. Donald (Utkarsh Ambudkar) is a key soloist and beatboxer. Unicycle (Michael Viruet) and Kolio are the other named members.
The songs that they've sing is remarkable, The energy and willing to entertain and of course to win gave them the rush of being the most favorite acapella group of those commentators. Unlike Bellas, They sing different kind of genre and always expose a new kind of beat and technique.For me, They made the movie complete and rockin with their roles of being a enemy/ally
THE SONGS THEY'VE SANG
Please Don't stop the music - Rihanna
You spin my head right around - Flo Rida

RIP OFFS
The Rip offs? All I can say is that, THIS IS MY FAVORITE SCENE. The groove and the beat and how the songs was done is perfect! well next to the finale it is, but still this is my bias scene. I like how they mingle the each group to sing together in a debate way. The intense feeling of the blast is a must to watch.

Rip offs only shows the intensity and fire lies in each group in reaching the trophy. Thats why its hot! ~
FINALE
After the long journey of The Bellas, at last! they've come to the finals. Emotions and dramas falls, Everything is on the right track. With the help of Beca and the determination of the group. They reach the top and won the competition. I like the way how Beca used the ending song of The Breakfast Club for Jesse, to make him appreciate her apologize for her insensitiveness.
When they come out from the back stage? I was like, Oh my! Seeing them walking at stage together gave me such a excitement. From old Bellas' uniform to a new level of outfit! and for sure this is also a new level of music. and I was right! from the start till the end they never failed me. Pitch Perfect is rock!
I also appreciate how Aubrey embrace the new style and she, herself also rode the beat and of course I like the reaction of Beca's father, the look of a proud father. woah, another accomplishment in the movie ~

Fat Amy: The kraken has been unleashed! Feel the Fat Amy force!
All in all, I've enjoyed watching the film, I learned a lot like how friendship can start with anything, how music can connect us, how talent can make someone/everybody happy and of course how believing and lifting each other will make a great life.
Watch it with your friends, family, love ones or even strangers. hehe ~ Have a great time guys.
Thank you

Enjoy Life <3
