One of the family’s favorite music reality shows to watch is The Sing-Off on NBC.  We have watched our fair share of shows like American Idol and such, but the talent on this show is just unbelievable.  Instead of singing along to music, the groups that perform for a Sony Music contract are all a cappella groups.  They are the music, and it is absolutely incredible to watch popular songs be transformed into amazing music only masterpieces.  Last night’s show was no exception and it was absolutely remarkable.  Another bonus to the show last night is that the second half of the show featured the six groups performing country songs.

Like any competition, some groups did much better than others.  There were two performances that really stuck out to me, and one that kept me entertained and excited the whole time.  Check out my favorite performances below, and if you have not watched The Sing-Off you are missing out!

My favorite of the night goes to the jazzy and soulful group Afro-Blue.  I love their effortless style, but lately they have not been really impressive.  The version of Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” turned it all around though.  They kept their signature sound, but kept the song true even to the original where it was tastefully done.  The two leads of the song did an amazing job, and I love the bass.

I think my favorite group this season is Pentatonix, but don’t hold me to it because I change my mind every Monday night. They are just always so impressive, and I can’t get enough of their sound. They chose to do Sugarland’s “Stuck Like Glue,” which is a fun, upbeat song. It was the least intricate arrangement they have ever done, but I loved it.

And lastly, the performance that made me want to dance and corral around in my living room was from the always entertaining Dartmouth Aires. These guys are just plain fun. The sang Big & Rich’s “Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy.”
