Sing Off...
So my newest guilty pleasure is the NBC show "Sing Off" where acapella groups face off against each other. A bit American Idol-esque, but with a twist.
Is anyone else watching this? Is anyone else having as much fun with it as I am? |

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.

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 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. |

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"! |

I sing all the time. Inside and out. Heck, my neighbor called the fire marshall on me thinking my deck was on fire when I had my chimnea going, and I was roasting marshmellows and all the furkids were laying on the lounge chair watching the birds, and Dino of course was waiting for his bite.

I think the wrong group went home last night, but I understand it's because they felt the SoCals "lost the song". What the Hell does that even mean? I know the song, have it on cd somewhere, and still recognized it and liked what they did with it. I think the blonde girl with the uneven eyebrows (I notice these things) sang MUCH better than the brunette, even though I liked the brunette's hair better. Diva? Would you explain in a non-musical knowledge-knowing way for me what they were really saying? |

I'm sorry, GemmieLicious....I didn't watch last night..... But when a group "loses the song" ~ perhaps the judge meant the melody was lost somewhere. Sometimes ~ whether it's because of nerves or just a poor arrangement ~ the melody gets buried. Stronger voices get toppy (I KNOW You know what THAT means)....maybe the melody has fallen to the weaker part of someone's range, while the harmonizing voice is in the stronger part of theirs. Sometimes, when nerves take over, various voices might stop listening to their balance..... So say You've got Your fingers on the keys of a piano and the left hand is hitting the keys harder than the right hand, so those lower notes are overpowering the upper notes.....did that make sense? It can go the other way,too.....there can be SO much top that the bottom is drowned out, too..... The a cappella sound is all about balance. |

They sang "Hazy Shades of Winter" and it was good but there was a spot in the middle that seemed kinda 'messy' to me, but other singers had done the same thing before and didn't get fussed at too much for it. *shrug* I'm still not happy about them leaving though. I thought they were better overall than the Voices of Lee. Oh, and WHO is Lee? And why does s/he have all these voices??? |
