The Sing-Off

Picking a show to review for this blog was nearly impossible. Why? Because all I do is watch Grey's Anatomy. I love Netflix.

But then I remembered I watch The Sing-Off when I'm taking a break from Grey's so I thought I'd review this. This show, in my opinion, is different from a lot of other singing shows. The main idea is that there are a bunch of acapella groups, and there is a panel of three judges (yeah I know, like every other show) that vote one group off every week. The reason I think this show is different is because the actual talent of the group is evaluated, and that's what plays the major role in who stays and who goes, rather than how much the judges like their appearance, or other shallow things like that.

The panel of judges on this show is great. Ben Folds, who is an artist and musical producer, is the most knowledgable when it comes to the technicality of the music. He has a good ear for which groups actually know how to pull off the singing part. Sara Bareilles, who is a recording artist, is pretty good with the music part too, but she also likes groups who are entertaining and put on a nice show. The third judge is Shawn Stockman, who is from Boyz II Men. You may not think he knows what he's doing, but he's actually not bad. Although he usually just taks about a group's performance in general.

The only thing I don't like about this show is the host. Nick Lachey. He's super annoying. That's all I gotta say about him.

The groups from the first couple seasons were pretty good, but they were soooooo much better this year. The seasons over, but I can't wait until next season.
