And now the quartets. Unlike the chorus competition, it is a little
more difficult to hide when there are only four people. As a voice,
you really have to be on top of your game. Just like the choruses,
winning quartets compete internationally... where victors are
proclaimed "Queens of Harmony". Below is how the top 3 quartets fared:

Arguably the best quartet in the world took the stage during the
Show of Champions. Known as "Rumors", this group retired
as the 1999 Queens of
Harmony. The foursome is widely viewed as the standard for other quartets
to follow. |

But when it is time to sing, Rumors arguably does it better than any
other quartet. Click to enlarge. |
