THE SING OFF -- Episode 101 -- Pictured: Nick Lachey -- NBC Photo: Chris Haston
OK, let’s do the math. The Sing Off has contestants competing for a singing title, complete with a panel of three industry professionals as the judges. And America controls the votes. But, the show is still different than any other reality singing series we’ve seen before says The Sing Off host, Nick Lashey. Really?
What separates The Sing Off from other singing competition series is that the performances are all a cappella so there is no margin for error Lashey claims. And The Sing Off is just the competition he’s aching to see.
What does the winner receive? An Epic Records/Sony Music recording contract. Not a bad deal for four night’s work.
Click onto video for Nick Lashey’s thoughts on how The Sing Off separates itself from the other singing reality competition series on television.
Will The Sing Off be an entertaining show to watch or do you think this is just another rip-off of American Idol? Let us know what you think.
The Sing Off begins tonight and continues Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, with the finale scheduled for Monday, December 21st, beginning 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

Come on! “Solo” even admitted they were out classed, I think they were good but definately the weakest link. The spokesman chick’s voice stood out way too much. Had nuthin to do with the inner city schtick.

Holy Crap! If anyone really thought “Solo” was good, you REALLY don’t know much about music. They were BY FAR the worst group of the eight. This show gained some credibility in my book by actually rewarding talent, not tough-luck stories (like so many other “talent” competitions)!

For Kyle and James what about “Face” They were better in their group of contestants then at least two of their competitors

I sat and watched the Sing Off marathon on TV for hours today and enjoyed it immensely. these groups were incredibly talented, well-rehearsed and polished, and now, going into the finals, I believe the right three groups are still in the running. I’m impressed also w/ the overall production, especially the teams’ color-themed outfits, etc. I’m having fun and that’s what entertainment is for.
