wtf
“Keep Doo Wop music alive because rap music still sucks.” LOL XD
apples make me pee
These guys make it awkward on subways. GJ guys.
That redhead is the most gorgeous redhead i have ever seen. I would love to make sweet passionate love to her.
“keep doo wop alive because rap still sucks”
lmfao, these guys are great XD
Yay Ella is back!
This is talent, not autotuned 12 year olds
LAST (for now)
What happened to your individual channels?
you forgot the “T” on the word “Today” in the description ! luv rb
keep being amazingly beautiful ella
@With Doo-Wop music in the background?
wow, that was AWESOME.
I saw these guys while I visited New York. They’re awesome.
Keep Doo Wop music alive because rap music still sucks. Why are people always so ignorant when it comes to music?
wow is gay and boring
@igotaidsinnarnia I’ll wager you are not alone in that sentiment, good sir or madam.
with all that tile everywhere the acoustics must be interesting.
The way he says “Damn, that’s a wonderful thing” makes me think he should be in movies. Such charisma.
look who’s back from down under!
and still as georgius as ever. wellcome back Ella!
Ella you are beautifull. I am speachless.
thumbs up if you are the 303′d viewer
@professormoron
what the hell is 303′d. Don’t you mean 404′d?
these kinds of things make intrested in visiting america
@igotaidsinnarnia if thats the hottest red head you have ever seen you need to get out more……..
Why don’t you just upload RB NYC channel?
@igotaidsinnarnia Nah, Amy Adams is more gorgeous.
rap music doesn’t go on sub ways and beg for money
I think there’s another group that’s a bit older…
rap good but doo wop is just as good!!
@igotaidsinnarnia Is your vision impaired?
Is it just me or is Ella just plain gorgeous?
Ella… your Aussie accent is almost completely gone
Thank God I moved to Australia 
@matrixrory ^_^ Tobuscus!!
So remind me, what was the point of having a Rocketboom NYC channel?
@plus16hrs Get outta here! Really? I don’t want to lose it!
This was awesome, and I am sure those brothas was like damn look at this hott ass red head. Cause I sure was.
Damn; black people are gifted at everything !
Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Shakira among others should get the basic singing lessons from these fellows!!!!
they’re so underground, …they’re underground.
@armack2011 — You need to get your ears checked if you think Lady GaGa can’t sing. Listen to her simple stuff, with just her on the piano. She’s wonderful.
I thought Ella had her own RB channel.
@Theonegamefreak They make movies,write books,paint art with those things in there. What difference does it make if it’s in hip-hop? Such an ignorant statement in the video and by you. Accept that. ^_^
You go girl!!
If i see these guys i will without a doubt buy their cd.
because rap music still sucks.
@igotaidsinnarnia lol so you wanna give her the aids you got in Narnia? Thats very sweet of you! Giving her a gift she will always remember and never get rid of
Thanks RocketBoom this is the type of stuff I love your channel for!
The channels being merged back into one taxi cab, again?
Ella looks so awesome here
UNDER THE BOARDWALK!!!!
=D great song
ah new york is weird. but we cool.
@sharingun0sister Right on!
And it’s great to see the lovely Ella Morton back in action again.
@sharingun0sister your comment has more thumbs than the video lol
@igotaidsinnarnia get in line…
@3rkid2 Now it’s just Molly and I, sharing a tandem bicycle.
This girl looks 95% like Kristen Dunst.
Now THIS IS REAL MUSIC
“Keep doo-wop alive because rap still sucks.”
Amen.
@igotaidsinnarnia ewwwww shes ugly
Very good vocalists!
I still don’t care about new york
@lmaoarandy Dude, I’m right here!
@Jacomelo117 absolutely right..i remarked the same decades ago lol
ha! nice
very cool!
Why is stupid RocketboomNYC shit being put out on the main channel? I thought the point of the different channels was that we could subscribe to which ones we wanted to, and I specifically DIDN’T subscribe to RocketboomNYC.
thats pretty interesting, but i wouldnt want to live like that
I think this would be more interesting if I lived in New York, or was subbed to Rocket Boom New York.
2:33 lol
WHAT THE EFF! this isnt rocketboom! i didnt sub to this
I think our little “Assie Ella” has found a new career.
Woooo-wop ! ( :
that ausia shella fancys her self a bit much ,,,
14 people like rap music….
i liked it when he said that “rap music still sucks”
i doubt it will ever be good
“Because rap music still sucks.”
PLEASE
TAKE MY MONEY
TAKE IT ALL
Doo Wop in the subway? This is why I miss living in NYC.
Ella can sing? =)
NYC is one of the few places a human being can feel alive.
Ella, you’re back! Where have you been? We’ve missed you.
@LoveMeSomeSarcasm Very well, as it turns out.
Great to have Ella back, now post NYC videos on the correct channel (which I also subscribe to) so we don’t have to start complaining about it again.
nice.
thank you
@igotaidsinnarnia
lol retard
Rocketpoon should probably push Ella more and drop the useless fat blonde bimbo.
Yay NYC is back finally. What is happening at Rocketboom at the moment,myou need to keep us informed.
Thats the Afro-american People that NOONE would NEVER call Nigger! Good Work and excellent voice!
Welcome back to the states @ellamorton , you’ve been missed. Fantastic interview and piece as always. I don’t think it’s just slick editing, but you always seem to pose really thoughtful and engaging questions that elicit some fascinating responses. It’s one of the things I enjoy the most about your videos. You really bring your viewer into the world that you’re showing us, and let us meet the people you meet. It’s a very special talent.
When did i subscribe to Rocketboom NYC? Oh right I didn’t.
I agree Doo Wop is far better than rap & this so called pop bands..
they put it on the wrong channel
@shadarko Yes, yes you did – cause it’s the same channel…
Yes, rap music STILL sucks!
Ella in the Rocketboom house.
Ooooowwweeeeeee!!! Check out Ella doin her thang!
@RavnoUK good point. But I would not rule out porchmonkeys.
Not that I mind, but why isn’t this on RB NYC?
rock music #1 forever
Wonderful music like this still exists in the world and yet – Rebecca Black’s producers (I tend to blame the men in suits rather than the little girl)? The greatest thing I think is that these guys would still preform in the subway even though they’ve gotten a record deal.
@1337thegame poetry sucks?
Still not subscribed to Rocketboom NYC….
Awesome. It’s great to see people keeping the wonderful form of doo-wop alive.
And Ella, excellent dancing, you sexy thing.
Now this is RocketBOOM!!!!!!!
@skyzefawlun Thank you, I really appreciate your comment. I love hearing people’s stories and try to bring them alive on video!
@gulllars I’m sorry to inform you that separate channels are no more. Commence complaining in 3, 2, 1…
@leapoffaith20 I’ve been traveling and writing a book!
@OrphanPaper Thank you for making me laugh with that comment!
@evbunke2 Separate channels are no more. OMG!
you guys would sound awesome together with Paul Simon.
I didn’t used to like you. I liked Molly. Now, I like you more…
and rap does suck – fuck yeah man
The irrelevance of their actions doesn’t get through to them..
Ella is the best. Great video.
Reminds me of the ’40s awesome voices.
She’s actually really good looking. She’s like an attractive Kirsten Dunst.
SO happy to see Ella back!
@xyzomz Molly is cute and has a nice rack. Ella has class.
yay the redhead is back
@ellamorton but, but, but… You deserve your own rocketboom channel.
Still, glad to have you back on rocketboom and i guess this will help make content from RB daily actually daily instead of most days
I’ve been subscribed to your channel since before you went back down under, so i haven’t missed you too much
I’m waiting with anticipation for possible new projects you can/will start now that you’re back, the elegant series were great.
When is the book comming out?
This gives me hope for humanity.
Keep Doo-Wop alive cause rap music still sucks
Brilliant
I know this is stupid but I can’t resist,
Clearly, 21 people like rap music!
this so ridiculous its just awesome ^^
She hot…….
my girl!!!!!! i love these guys!!!
Great video Ella!
Welcome back Ella!
)
If I ever get back to NYC I am going to have to swing by there.
@Hoggie295 …because if you don’t like Doo-wop, that means you must like rap?
@Hedonophobia No… because he clearly says in the video that “rap music still sucks”! Did you even watch it or look at the other comments? What other reason would you have for disliking an inspiring video like this??
I bet the Doo-Wop boys enjoyed having a beautiful lady dancing with them
Big city subway singers FTW
she can sing and dance!
@EllOEllproductions YES SO MUCH AGREE
rap music still sucks!!!!
I NEED TO VISIT THIS PLACE!!!! IMMEDIATELY
Fuck off NEWYORK BITCH. YOU SUCK
Its SO refreshing to hear a black man actually admit out loud that rap music sucks! Its like when Bill Cosby gave some graduation speeches where he bluntly told everyone that black men need to start acting like responsible men and not like the rappers they see in music videos. Bill Cosby caught a lot of shit for that, but he didnt care because he knew he was speaking the truth.
@CyFi6 Couldn’t agree more.
oh my god you are so beautifull
@Link5408 Win xD lol
ella is good at anything she does… im impressed.
@TheKluten Having a bad day?
” Keep Doo-wop alive, ‘cuz rap music still sucks!” Hahahaha! Double-likes for that!
@ellamorton HOW DO YOU ALWAYS FIND MY HATE? ITS NOT FUN WHEN YOU READ IT
@TheKluten I am everywhere.
these guys god nothin’ on Van Canto
“… ’cause rap music still sucks” – great line.
HEY ELLA! READ THIS.
Ella you’re awesome, I still say you can sing, no matter what you say!!
)
@OgounTor No.
under the WHAT???
“HEY ELLA! READ THIS.”
“No.”
Haha, nice.
@127ahmed Boardwalk…
Ella’s back! Hooray!
Fly moves Ella.
thumbs up if you understand Ella’s beauty
Been missing you, Ella! Great interview!
Ella’s got the moves.
Can you guys post the full performance of ‘Boardwalk’?
Thats some groovy stuff right there
I’ve always wanted to have sex with a ginger haired woman.
I actually forgot that ROCKETBOOM videos told news, I usually just stare at The pretty blond girls tits all video long.
such a chill guy!
And ella is kinda hot when shes dancing lol
I totally saw these people when I was in New York. They asked my brother what time it was which was the starting of a song.
Shes so into black guys.. I TOTALLY HAVE A CHANCE.
@Hoggie295 I like both =/
@Kmaster02 Well if they did their job good this wasn’t supposed to be here
so… (this should be on Rocketboom NYC or something)
OMG, rap does suck!
but why on this channel ?
@EllOEllproductions i could not agree more with you
@The95Alex Separate channels are no more.
Wheres Molly? :’(
Welcome back Ella!
can’t they got a job?
@Annnabef9
She’s off somewhere eating pizza and drinking pepsi to put more lb’s onto her fat ass.
@pigman2222 well wasn’t that a lovely image.
@Vereonis dont you think this is a better job than sitting in an office?
I think I wanna hear Ella sing some more!
I like hardcore rock but I have so much appreciation for all types of music…but I must say…the mainstream music industry of today has turned to crap…its sad to hear music like that on the radio…but its nice to see that there are people out there who still sing and perform songs from the past…when music made sense…not like the barking we hear now days on MTV.
MY GOD YOU MADE A SEPERATE CHANNEL FOR THIS. FUCKIN USE IT GOD DAMN IT!!!!
MY GOD YOU MADE A SEPERATE CHANNEL FOR THIS. FUCKIN USE IT GOD DAMN IT!!!! but i do like this im glad i saw it
Keep Doo-Wop music alive because rap music still sucks! ROFL
Cool guys and great music!
Thanks Ella!
Shouldn’t this be on @RocketboomNYC?
@shaurz ella has a voice of a succubus
Another cool segment. Ella probably has one of the coolest jobs I can think of! So many interesting topics.
IMMA FIRIN’ MA LAZ00000R!!!!!!
@sashablfc ofc not, because for starters what they’re doing isn’t a job, hence why I said “can’t they get a job” implying that isn’t one, which is it isn’t as they’re not employed by anyone nor are they providing a service which people are asking for. What they’re doing is begging and getting in people’s way, dunno if you’ve heard, but theres these magical things called MP3 players, people who want music on a subway have it, also my MP3 player doesn’t try to guilt my earned money away into a bag
@Vereonis Wow you’re a piece of shit.
@ellamorton i was going to say “she had tickets on her self “, but i didn’t think people from overseas places would understand
rocketboom nyc?
cute
i hate doo wop singers on the train,
Ella definitely has class
So it’s like A Capella. We had a group visit our country a couple times named Shere Khan which was like college students and they were pretty good too. But they had like 10-12 people at any time. It’s a cool style of music tbh.
so cute and stylish at the same time, she does have some years on me but she still drives me wild
Spirited, good talent but I can see that getting annoying after a while
Wait – I want a CD!
wait… why isnt this on the rocketboom nyc channel?
@OrphanPaper As a woman of the world I am familiar with the expression.
@seriouslyWeird Hahaha, I love the word “succubus.” People should use it more.
@NewRecruitInNatsArmy I’m hoping that was a typo and not a reference to butts…
Good voice, Ella!
Dear Ella,
You TOTALLY ROCK, honey!!!
WWOOOOO HHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
@Vereonis Well, I don’t know what it is but i just like people in real life better, I.E. you go to see an opera singer in real life instead of listening to him/her via mp3. I get were you are coming from and i sorta agree, but i don’t think they are getting in peoples way.
@Floydthefuckbag There was no need for that he was just saying what he thought…
I love RocketboomNYC
But people are against watching it cus it’s a specific area they feel they’ll have no interest in
So I think it’ll be in RocketboomNYC’s best interest if Ella stayed out of the screenshot for the videos so that viewers actually give the content a chance before rejecting it
._. MAINSTREAM rap sucks. stop generalizing.
@ellamorton Hey Ella great of you to respond to my comment (but I have no idea what what your comment was in reference to though). The upside of it was that I have now found your EM channel, and it looks like I have lots and lots of Ella videos to watch. I love your work, keep it up.
What ever happened to having a seperate rocketboom nyc channel? I love rocketboom nyc, but now my rbdaily isnt daily
What happend with the other channels?.. sold?
@ellamorton I disagree. It still sounds like you’re chewing on a piece of gum to me–and that’s not an insult! It’s a great accent, I just don’t know how else to describe it.
Take the word “no” for example. “Nah-er”. Sounds like a chewy word when Aussies say it! Makes me want bubble gum…
Why am I reading youtube comments at 6:09 in the morning? Goodbye.
@noybw333 My guess is that Andrew Baron finally realized that they were pointless since everything went onto the main RB channel anyway..

@ellamorton i’m glade it made you happy ,it was the intent
Dayum! Thats wonderful!
wrong channel?
Sooo white = D
They have some skill. I like them.
@ellamorton
Really?
Interesting.
Wow… I’ve never cared less about something.
Glorified begging -.-
@TheSirMittens What? What things in there?
stop putting this on rocketboom. its nyc. put it at rocketboom nyc
they sing, put smiles on peoples face, but judging by the steel in that dudes mouth, it gets in the way of brushing his teeth
A’adams!(:
Ella > Molly
Rap DOES suck! Hahaha.
Does anyone else get the impression that Ella is a horny dirty slut behind the scenes?
@jnthnbush well, at least you don’t think Hip Hop sucks
@ellamorton Awesome! What’s it called, what’s it about and when can I buy a copy?
@stfuBUDDY I hope you’re not using those words pejoratively.
@OcelotPwns The RB NYC channel is no more.
when you film robbers and drug dealers your “thumbs” go down
@graymalkin1234 I bet you could find something to care less about. What about the fact that over 90 per cent of the remaining butternut in New Hampshire forests is infected with a non-native disease called ‘butternut canker’?
@SALVATl0N Thanks for noticing. Winter has gifted me with a phosphorescent epidermis.
@bulavo No robbers or drug dealers were filmed in the making of this video. So turn that frown upside down, sport.
@leapoffaith20 The URDB Book of World Records; amazing, quirky, creative world records that people have set and broken; in October!
Why do people always try to prop up their own preference in music by degrading other genres?
All genres of music have their redeeming qualities and NO not just the one’s you stereotypically think of as that genre
I love
classical
“rap” hip-hop
rock
metal
disco
pop
country
techno
dub-step
doo wop
and MORE!
Very nice…and yes, rap does suck!!!
Ella you made my day. Love your style keep up the good work.
Love this… would like the cd… idea: there must be lots of singing groups plus this one… how about a series with highlighting each?
Cool Ella, They sing that in Chicago subways too.
2:32
NOPE
Music is love, always exspanding. Rap doesnt have to die for duwop to live. Balance. Yin and yan (sp.)
But I loved the performance. Should sell cds online.
Oh, and come to DC. We could really use some cheer here…if they didn’t shut down the trains too.
Check out more of these guys in the movie trailer Below New York. These guys are fantastic. Link in description and here watch?v=GYYDfPUBs0M&feature=feedlik
Wow, I love those harmonies. Amazing. And seeing Ella dancing is a bonus!
my new favourite word is mellifluous. It fits so well, here.
that guys is kind of full of himself, and probably hitting on her too! go ahead, watch it again and ask yourself the second time through!
@Telemna You have quite the imagination.
Ella’s dancing is quite sexy! RawR.
@Telemna Can you blame him for hitting on her?
@sleazybtd no… but he was doing it to the point of being very noticeable!
@Telemna Well, if I’m hitting on a woman, I would hope it would be noticeable enough that she would notice.
@vinceandlilly RocketboomNYC never happened
That’s really kewl!
@vinceandlilly All of the separated accounts are now useless including RB Tech because Ellie leaves Rocketboom.
sorry, but the only thing that sucks in nyc, are the people who try to sell something -.-
‘why do fools fall in love’ came to mind when they sang a certain song… that would sound great in accapella !
This is the best rocketboomnyc video ever.
i loved this vid soo much
in this video i am not so sad that this is ella and not mememolly this time
Ella is soooo sexy!
@ellamorton
I guess it has come full circle now. All the channels are merging into one main channel just like before.
this one is actually not boring
also seeing this HOT girl dance ROCKS!!!
I hate seeing these kinds of guys on the subway. I would rather enjoy a nice peaceful ride instead of being forced to listen to them – no matter how good they may be.
1:07 WO WAH WEE WAH
That made me smile, and I’m a jaded asshole
Rocketboom die? Oh well =(
I wish Doo wop would come back, pure doo wop without bullshit rap or hip hop influences.
Rap does suck LOL
1:42 all i can think of is “put the money in the bag”
