Prepare yourselves. I know this is usually a metal/hard rock blog, but everyone needs a little variety.
So, I have a somewhat secret love for a capella music, and my ever famous “musical background” that all my friends make fun of incorporated quite a bit of singing without background music.
I don’t get the chance to listen to it often, but my wife and I stumbled upon a show the other night called The Sing Off, (which screams “how can we make money like American Idol?”). It was “hip-hop” night, which immediately made me gag just a smidge. The first couple we watched were marginal, but the third group was five 19- and 20-year olds that call themselves “Pentatonix”. And they absolutely blew me away, so I thought I’d share my thoughts.
