Sing It On

If you like Acapella and want to better understand what it takes to get to the ICCA (International Championship of Collegiate Acapella) finals, this is by far the best show in town. I found it even better than Pitch Perfect, because it is about real people and real groups.

Some may be disappointing there is not enough singing in the show. But you can find complete performances and well beyond on you-tube. This is not an American Idol show, it's more like a documentary. But you'll be touched by the friendship within the five groups followed.

To try to be the best means you have to think you're the best and try to achieve this status. It takes huge effort, patience, hours of training. With no other reward than a shiny trophy and the feeling you walked the way. But for only one team.

Just enjoy it and don't get too critical, this is reality show at its best. It has some of the best ingredients: friendship, music and dance, competition, human touch, pure joy and pure deep sadness.

So I settled myself in for what I thought was a competition of groups singing A cappella. To my disappointment, There was barely any singing going on. Not only that but the content of the show doesn't even allow for the word entertainment to be used to describe it. When the singing did come on, it was constantly interrupted by the singers commenting on themselves. Coming from the co-producers of American IDOL, and Academy Award winner John Legend, I expected something better.

If you want to see actual singing don't waste your time with this show. If you want to listen to a bunch of college kids bitch about how good they are and how good they think they look. have at it!

You guys can say all you want about this show but i honestly loved it.It thought it was really fun at times and really sad at times.i thought that even though there was quite a bit of drama it was still great and among that drama was comedy.I was singing along with everyone in Bang Bang as well.I thought that this was a really fun and super energetic acappela show it was super fun and easy going i was devastated that there wasn't already another season when i had finished the show.i loved mostly all the groups except Pitch'Please but other than that i loved all the groups.i am crossing my fingers for another season!

This episode introduced the main groups that the show will be following during the season. Unfortunately, it does't exactly portray them in a favorable light. The leaders of each are shallow, egotistical cretins who think the world revolves around them. Did I mention that they make a point of looking straight into the camera and proclaiming that they and their fellow members are all remarkably beautiful as well as extremely talented?

This show also took us through the audition process . . . A seemingly random exercise where eager hopefuls are eliminated by the mere whim of the other group members, particularly their fearless leaders.

I can only hope the tone of this show will change once the competition gets underway, because as it now stands, will do NOTHING to help promote interest in Accapella, and could very well have the exact opposite effect.
