[TV Show] The Sing-Off

Enjoyed the previous "season" of the show. I will definitely watch again.

 

I was a fan ever since I discovered some videos of Committed and Street Corner Symphony via youtube.
There are some serious and legit talent on this show and this is the first singing talent show that I have truly latched on to, mainly because its not overly superficial with the background stories and production glamour, and the judges are actually legit!

The competitors are truly passionate about singing and the judges are genuinely concerned with providing constructive criticism of the groups to help improve them and the judges reactions and responses (particularly from Shawn Stockman) are genuine and sometimes funny

I would highly recomment this show. Its so awesome to me because the groups each bring their own niche and versatility and the show showcases all types of music

 

I actually was rooting for the Yellowjackets because they were the first all-male college acapella group that was actually versatile and hip, not just the typical gay (in the upbeat, awkwardly-always-happy kind of way) group that just tries to emulate Glee. Danny has a killer voice and I loved their energy and song choices.

Afro-Blue is definitely on a different league in terms of musical technicality and arrangement, but their jazz sound and song choices don't always draw you in (I'm not an avid R&B guy). If they would do some more catchy songs I think they would be more popular.

Dartmouth Aires has a SUPERSTAR in Michael and although they don't bring any "edge" to them, they are just so fun to watch and that Queen Medley by them was just EPIC WIN stuff. Completely blown away by that performance. Just flawless victory

 

I watched the first 2 seasons and have been a part time watcher this year.

Loved the first clip...holy cow was that good.

Thanks for posting.

I've been keeping up with this season so far and Delilah is my pick to win it all. They've got the full package.

I rest my case.

the queen medley rocks...

 

I liked the first 2 seasons but it seems to have turned into the Rap-Off this season. Not as interested. I was pissed when North Shore got kicked off. They were the only group I really liked.

 

I've been watching

Pentatonix is my group... they are so unique for an acapella group.

Watching this show for the first time this season. I had no idea it existed until this year but I absolutely LOVE acapella music, so this is right up my alley. I enjoy Ben Folds but the girl and the Boyz 2 Men guy get on my nerves. Mostly I just fast forward to the performances and the vote off.

And I definitely disagree that Afro Blue is clearly the most talented. To me Dartmouth Aires and Delilah are way better, talent-wise. Delilah can be a bit inconsistent but has put together a couple good weeks in a row. Darmouth Aires never disappoint me and I am really pulling for them to win. I also really enjoy Vocal Point.

 

Are straight guys allowed on this show?

 

Pretty subpar performance, but then again I'm comparing them to street performances on the streets of Milan so my standards are set pretty high.

What impressed me about these guys is the fact they attend Dartmouth. So you just know they're outstanding citizens, give back to the community, have integrity and high morals, and most of all, are just really smart consummate professionals. I know this is supposed to be a "talent" competition but don't act like a prestigious name and a history of excellence don't mean anything.

Make the right vote, America.

 

I like all of the ones that are left... and I liked the Yellow Jackets too.

Afro Blue has some great voices, but their blend is only okay.

The Aires have so many similarly talented singers that not one stands out too much, which is a detriment in a show like this one.

Delilah is getting better, but they are just a group of lots of individually talented women, not an acapella group (though Street Corner Symphony last year was created the same way and they were successful to a point)

Vocal Point got by at the beginning with the sympathy factor because of Ben's father's death... but they have sounded better since he's been back.

Urban Method has only one really talented member - and he's only going to take them a couple more weeks if that.

If you can't tell... I like Pentatonix to win the whole thing They have the one supertalented member in Kevin - dude does unbelievable things with his vocal percussion... Avi is just slightly below his talent and the three singers they have blend well.

 

You don't think Michael is a standout? That dude is amazing and the judges keep commenting on how much of a superstar he is.

 

The guy is so captivating to watch (no homo), even though he doesn't have a classically great voice and timbre. He has good range, pitch control and a very unique timbre though that can cross a lot of genres.

 

you know how i know you're gay?

 

I think he could be, but they don't utilize him as such enough

edit: which one is Michael? See what I mean... I can't remember is he the curly mop headed one or the tall black guy?

 

I've been watching performances on YouTube. My favorite group was the Yellow Jackets. They were so much fun, like this season's On the Rocks. Their "Wannabe" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" were great performances, as well as "Tub Thumping".

Yes, I know neither were that vocally talented, but they were performers and made a capella entertaining.
