Sing Off Finale

Dan and I were vegetables in front of the television tonight.  Partly because of a let down from a fun week of family.  And, partly because it was the finals of the Sing Off competition. 

Hands down, we have enjoyed this show more than any we’ve watched in a while.  The talent among these groups is phenomenal.  It is difficult to tell that it is all without accompaniment.  I’ve felt for several weeks that Pentatonix from Arlington Texas would win it.  I was right.  This isn’t one of my favorite songs they performed, but it is an example of their talent.

The runner-up was the Dartmouth Aires.  They have said in interviews during the show that they are just a class at their college.  They always were fun to watch.  I think this Queen compilation is one of their best performances.

Urban Method from Denver was the third place group.   Their music was called “rappella.”  As far as I know, a new name describing their music.  Rap and cappella is an unlikely mix, but they were very good. 

Next Monday night some of the groups will be performing for a Christmas Special.   We’ll be watching.

We are not TV fans. Actually, since the networks moved to digital, we have not had TV. That being said, I really enjoyed the two selections you put up from your TV viewing. Great singers!!!
