They are my favorite by far.![]()
Anyone been watching? There are some extremely talented groups this year. I have to say that I feel it has ended already...because these guys are not losing.
They are so old school with their style. It takes me back to Shai, Boyz II Men and all the other great accapella style groups of the 90's.
They are my favorite by far.![]()
New season started last night. Lots of talent there but nothing mind blowing yet. Several of last year's groups could beat any of the first 8 they showed. We'll see how the next 8 groups look on Monday.
I thought the all-girl group was pretty awesome. That was the one that wowed me the most. There were other really good groups with a lot of potential, but I didn't necessarily like all the songs they picked.
Someone needs to just create a "Talent Show" Network for all these shows. Or start carrying them on the Game Show Network.
I thought it was bull that the Cat's Pajamas got voted off. They were WAYYYYYYYYYYY better than that group with the rapper, or Kinfolk 9 with that singer who basically got his group to stay by whining about how hard his life was in the preceding video.
them and the BYU (lol mormons) group were both very impressive to me.
Yeah...it was a sympathy move. I told my wife it was going to happen before it happened. The only reason they got to stay is because Cat's Pajamas could go back to Branson and continue to make plenty of cash...while the other group pretty much stays broke.
The girl group will probably make the final four. They were the most talented of the first 8 and have the advantage of having members that have been there before.
Honestly, I thought the Cat's Pajamas were one of the 3 best groups that performed, along with the all-girl group and the BYU group.
I don't care for this song at all...but based solely on performance these guys are the early favorite. Solid vocals and blend, great bass and a drum machine that kicks ass.
I wasnt that big a fan of them. They didnt suck or do anything poorly, but they just didnt wow me, other than the beat boxer. They didnt really have a full sound to their group, it was just drums, bass, and soprano vocals. nothing in-between.
I think the BYU group impressed me the most so far.
You don't think so? I think they have nice balance...and they are marketable. That seems to be playing a lot into the decision making so far.
turns out you were correct Benfactor. Pentatonix is looking like the favorite to me. Although I think Dartmouth Aires are going to give them a great run. Their lead singer is definitely going to be getting some crazy attention after what he has done. He's been awesome.
This season kicks both of the last seasons ass.
this is my first season watching, i havent seen the previous two. but i have really enjoyed it.
Was going to bump this thread...beat me to it.
Season one...yes. Season two...I don't think so. Committed or Street Corner Symphony could probably beat any of these three teams. I will say that this season is probably better from an overall depth perspective.
I could tell from the first performance that Penatonix was going to be a contender. The blend of the two guys and the girl mixed with a near perfect bass and drum backup allows them to do pretty much anything and do it well. Can't believe the three main singers are only 19.
I like the Ares a lot. The lead singer for them(I think his name is Michael) is a ing boss. I wouldn't be suprised if there are record execs there in the audience that try to talk to him before he even makes it out of the building.
The rap-acapella team won't win, but I think they will wind up with a record deal too because of their marketability. They have a style that's popular right now...as you see a lot of rappers teaming up with singers on duets.
One thing is for sure...this show blows X-Factor out of the water. It's probably the best singing show out right now.
Yeah, I'd say Pentatonix looks like the current favorites. But the Aires Queen Medley was the best performance of the season. I got goosebumps when I saw it.
and then when they did it last night and Michael held that note for a ing hour... just amazing. I told my wife right before the faceoff started, that Afro would do that American Boy song and do really well, then Michael would completely go off on that Queen song and kick their ass.
I like Commited, but i think Penta's originality along with the beat boxing and bass passes Commited up. I also like the lead singers tone.
Overall, i think there are better top tier talent compared to the other seasons. The last 6 groups (up and including Delilah) are really really good.
My faves are the Aires and Penta and wouldnt mind either one of them winning it all.
What Pentatonix does on percussion with one bass and one beatbox is incredible.
We'll probably have to agree to disagree on Penatonix vs Committed. I will agree that with Penatonix's lights out rhythm section it is razor close. Committed's blend and vocal versatility just takes pure acapella to a whole new level.
entertaining night
great call on pentatonix, benefactor
Great season. Lot's of incredible singers and memorable performances. Several of the groups have outstanding individual performers that should get the attention of record execs...notably Michael from the Aires and the lead singer from that all girl group.
Don't forget the Christmas special next Monday.
