Sing-Off Redux: Nights 3 and 4



It ain't over yet! But Nights 3 & 4 are. What you are seeing is all over - it was all taped in August. But next week, it goes live. And what an amazing conclusion to Night 4! Really, it was the only possible conclusion, unless the judges had had mercy in the first segment of the show and refused to eliminate On the Rocks.

Those Rocks Would Not Quit
What happened here? On the Rocks turned in an amazing performance. I should also add, this group was nothing if not consistent. They stayed within themselves every time out. No matter what the demands, they delivered. IMO, we should have 5 groups in the final. These guys were funny, tight, strong and very entertaining. They got better each time and delivered 110%!

What About Groove For Thought, Bob?
I should have read my own tea leaves. They are a jazz group and that's not what Sony is going for here. Did they have a little stumble in episode 3? Maybe, but so did our darling Committed. Somebody had to go, and it was the jazz group.

How About Them Backbeats?
Wow! Real a cappella singing. Not the usual spitting into microphones - just singing. Wow! We love that, we really love that.

Who Will Win?
You got me. All these groups are amazing and I could listen to them all day long. As Ben might say, I could write 10 pages on each of them describing what every singing group should emulate. You decide!
