Michael Christensen, Mckay Crockett, Keith Evans, Jake Hunsaker, Ben Murphy, Tanner Nilsson, Robert Seely, Tyler Sterling and Ross Welch wowed the show's judges for several weeks.
"Man, how much fun was that?" said Sean Stockman of Boyz 2 Men. "You guys have so much infectious energy."
"The groove was great," said Ben Folds. "The standing ovation you got was earned."
Sarah Bareilles declared Vocal Point "awesome" and declared herself "such a fan.
Though eventually eliminated, the group finished fifth out of 16 groups in the competition.
