Sing Off...

Just_G · 12-16-2009, 08:53 PM

I read that title as "Signing Off".

I was like "where is he going?"

Now, back on topic: Sorry Goofy, I avoid the singing shows.

Sorry G, I'm not going anywhere!

I blame the Diva for getting me hooked on American Idol and by proxy, this new show!

See, I have a bone to pick with THAT show...

I was dating this super fab guy, but now ALL I hear about is the Sing Off.

I mean, it's like he's obsessed or something...

Any advice before I sing MY swan song?

Well, if you ask me, you should just stand in front of the tv and join in on whatever they are singing....but be sure to wear some cute shoes.....possibly ONLY shoes....that is the type of thing that gets my attention and makes me forget my name half the time!

Goofy needs to not blame The Diva for THIS show ......I had such high hopes for the show...the premise is good.....and there ARE groups who CAN sing quite well without instrumental accompaniment (a cappella)...... the Puerto Rican group is good..... innovative.

I'm not a fan of barbershop...........and I wanted spikey-haired-bleached-blonde group to be good, too....the judge who said they sounded "tinny" was dead on. Notice they put their lower voiced girl in the lead the 2nd night? Smart move.

A cappella is difficult at best to pull off. Musical snob that I am, I have a difficult time listening to some of this because it's often out of tune (re: on this show).

My 2 cents....

I sing out of tune in the shower...I can tell because Vinnie howls.

I watched it last night for the first time, so I missed the premier. I love Nota (the Latin group) and the Beezelbubs (to be known from this point on as the Bubs because I don't want to have to worry about not spelling their name right).

The other groups had some good moments but those are my top two.

Was it just me or did the pointy haired bleach-blond girl completely go off the cliff with her shrillness when attempting to hit the high notes? Her, I did not care for. The rest of the group was good to me.

My take on HER is: she's been told she's all that and she thought she was (she IS outrageous, after all, and people are sometimes drawn to that and call it good)....howEVER, I think the judges brought her down a few notches and concentrated on the REAL talent of that group, the lower~voiced blonde, who has a voice which is easier on the ear.....

So all of that to say "no, it wasn't just you"!
