"Spencer Murder the Hits" Goes A Cappella: Who Gets a 10 and Who Gets Chopped?

If there's one thing I love more than listening to my favorite hits, it's turning them into something… different. Just for fun, I decided to take on a cappella versions of some of the biggest songs. No music, no backup vocals—just me, my voice, and all the courage in the world. Let's be real, some of these I thought I’d kill, but others? Let’s just say, it might have been better if they stayed dead! So grab your tea, settle in, and let’s break down the Spencer a cappella hits that got a 10… and those that got a chop!

1. "Vision of Love" by Mariah Carey - Rating: 10

Let’s start with the queen herself. Mariah’s legendary "Vision of Love" was my first victim. Honestly, this one felt like walking into the lion's den. We all know the song is a vocal masterpiece. But honey, I channeled my inner whistle notes, hit those belted runs, and when I finally sang that last "Oh-oh-oh-oh," I knew Mariah herself might've almost nodded in approval (okay, maybe just a bit). I give this one a solid 10. My voice held it together, and the neighbors didn’t complain—this time, at least.

2. "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele - Rating: Chop

Now, Adele… Adele has a gift that turns even her heartbreak into art. I gave "Rolling in the Deep" my best, but honey, it rolled right back over me. The high notes were fine, but I may have lost control on some of those powerful growls. Let’s not even talk about when I tried to make the "We could have had it all" sound epic—it ended up sounding more like, "Please, I’ve had enough." So, yeah… chop. Not my proudest moment, but at least we’re having fun, right?

3. "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor - Rating: 10

This one surprised me! Gloria Gaynor’s iconic anthem of resilience is one of those songs you can’t help but sing along to. With no music, I could feel the power behind every word. I didn’t just sing it, I lived it. By the time I got to, "I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give," I was practically shouting my truth to the world! For that level of energy alone, this one gets a 10. We survived, y’all!

4. "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" by Beyoncé - Rating: Chop

There’s a reason Beyoncé is Beyoncé, and I’m not… well, that reason became glaringly obvious about 15 seconds into my a cappella version of "Single Ladies." Trying to keep up with her rhythm, those quick changes, and the energy without the backup production? Yeah, it was giving more "single" than "ready for a ring." It was a fun try, but ultimately… chop. If there was an award for enthusiasm, I’d take that, but vocally? Not my best.

5. "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys - Rating: 10

Sometimes, you just need a little boy band magic in your life. "I Want It That Way" was always one of those songs everyone loves to sing at karaoke. The harmonies, the drama, the nostalgia—it was all there. And let me tell you, I nailed those "Tell me why-yyy" moments. This was fun, a bit of a throwback, and truly one of those times where my voice and the song seemed to work together. Another 10 in the bag!

A Few Lessons Learned While Murdering the Hits:

1. Have Fun, Always: Singing these songs a cappella, even when I didn’t hit every note, reminded me why I love music so much—it's about the joy, the memories, and sometimes the absolute chaos. If you’re gonna sing, sing with feeling.

2. Know Your Limits: There’s a reason Adele, Beyoncé, and Mariah are legends. Sometimes you’re better off picking songs that align with your strengths rather than trying to impress everyone with impossible notes. Learn to embrace what makes your voice unique.

3. Get Comfortable with Failure: Some performances are going to be a chop, and that’s okay! Trying to hit those Beyoncé runs or Adele’s emotional highs is hard. But every time I mess up, I learn more about what works for me—and, to be honest, it makes for the best gossip later.

4. Don’t Be Afraid of Judgment: I did all of this just for a reaction, and let me tell you—I got reactions! Some were laughs, some were compliments, and a few were… well, let’s say, constructive. But at the end of the day, it’s all about putting yourself out there and having fun with it.

5. It’s All About the Energy: Even when my vocals couldn’t keep up, bringing the energy made all the difference. People love seeing someone commit fully, even if the note is off-key. Passion wins every time.

So, there you have it, folks—my a cappella adventures with the hits. Some were legendary (if I say so myself), and some… well, we learned from them. Whether I’m getting a 10 or a chop, I know I’m having the time of my life, and that’s what it’s all about.
