There are tons of reality shows on television. \u00a0There’s dancing, singing, juggling blowtorches, and people yelling at each other. \u00a0So, why should you watch the Sing-Off? \u00a0Because it’s hosted by early 2000s heart throb Nick Lachey. \u00a0Need more reasons? \u00a0Alright!<\/p>\n
1. It’s unique – A capella music isn’t a new thing, but it’s never been done as a reality show. \u00a0You won’t ever see another show with music performed this way.<\/p>\n
2. It takes talent – A lot of people can sing, but can they work as a group to make intricate arrangements and then perform them well? \u00a0Usually not. \u00a0Singing a capella is an amazingly difficult thing, especially at the level that these groups do it, and I guarantee that as you watch you will find yourself wondering how the groups are pulling off these songs. \u00a0Oh and did I mention the choreography? \u00a0They do that too.<\/p>\n
3. Youthful exuberance – While the show has it’s share of veterans, there are always a number of young groups who are just getting started. \u00a0Last year’s winners had never recorded an album or done a tour before being on the show. \u00a0They all have a lot of fun with the show.<\/p>\n
4. Variety – There is always a wide variety of talent on the show. \u00a0From gospel choirs, to hipster pop groups, to prepped out college boys, you will see it all. \u00a0Chances are, it will all be good too.<\/p>\n
5. The judges – With the girl that sings that “I’m not gonna write you a love song” song replacing the girl that sang the “Don’t you wish your girl was hot like me” song this judging cast just got even better. \u00a0She was always the weakest link, so I’m excited to see how things are this season. \u00a0Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men) and Ben Folds are both industry vets who always have an interesting perspective, and who often hear things in the performances that I even miss. \u00a0I imagine that some of their commentary goes over people’s heads, but as a music person I appreciate it heavily. \u00a0Oh and<\/p>\n
I’m sure there are a ton more reasons, it’s just a fantastic show. \u00a0If you haven’t checked it out yet, do so tonight!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
