Anyone else watching Sing-Off?

[Reincarnate]

I've been addicted to this thing... Pentatonix and the Dartmouth Aires are absolutely beast.

Avi and Kevin are extremely good beatboxers and can pull off absurdly low levels of bass... they're techno beatboxers for sure.

Some of my faves:

Sick beatboxing in this one

This one's pretty awesome all-around. Kevin's beatboxing in this one is killer.

This one is just hilarious at the end with the multi-layered voice raises. Would make for a pretty hilarious stepfile lmfao.

Probably the best performance the other night... so insanely hard to pull off well. Michael owned it. 2:40+ is just amazing.

The ET "Remix" was pretty amazing haha
much better than the original ;P

Edit: Actually, the dubstep breakdown and rearrangement and the end of the BS medley was even better, sexy stuff.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, watched most their performances. The guy's rough, scratchy voice, the girl's high voice, the other guy's falsetto and the beatbox / bass is such a beautiful amalgamation of sounds :')

Haha I watch it partly for my friend Sam Tsui

It's good though! I'm enjoying it, haha. Some real talent going on.

Haha, you know Sam Tsui? My gf and I follow his stuff on YT -- talented guy

[dag12]

We're good friends yeah haha. He's super short and super cute and super nice. We go (went) to the same school.

I'm not really that much into acapellas. But Dartmouth Aires is the best I've heard so far. Pentatonix gives a song that begging feeling that it should be remixed with actual instruments and djs and really didn't catch on to me.

Ever had a pic of you and him together?

[dag12]

Yup! Lots, haha.
On a similar note, not surprisingly, Sam was also really active in the acapella scene during college haha. Great singer he is.

That was amazing. :')

[MaxGhost]

Holy shit.

Why didn't I even hear of this show before :/

Incredible stuff.

[moches]

Incredible ET.

It's injustice that garbage like Dancing With The Stars kills in the ratings while this show struggles.

[Reincarnate]

Seriously how the **** have Urban Method and Afro-Blue made it this far -- they are both terrible

EDIT: lol bye Afro-Blue

[Evnoir]

Hu-..Wha-... Pentatonix is just absolutely breathtaking. The bass has so much control over his notes, it's unbelievable. Repeated bass notes tend to lose the impact/energy after a few phrases, and if worst comes to worst, it goes flat (Carol of the Bells lol), but there were no such signs in either of those videos. Both Pentatonix and Dartmouth Aires have the music down. The phrasing, the syncopation, the attacks, the release, the blend - everything is wonderfully executed.

On a completely unrelated note, I sang with some Cantata singers the same song Afro-Blue performed (Put your records on). That song is so fun to sing :3

[Reincarnate]

Kevin and Avi are just so insanely talented at this -- together, they're magnitudes above the competition and it's going to totally ruin the credibility of this show if Pentatonix doesn't win first place. They've been getting some pretty sick download rates on iTunes, as well.

[MaxGhost]

I love that youtube channel, mrduckbears always posts all the reality shows without all the bullshit.

I really don't like the way panatonix sounds at all. Beatboxing to me sounds really obnoxious and nonprofessional. Although if they sang normally they seem to have pretty good voices.

That's why I like the Dartmouth Aires more than them.

Also, I kind of lost interest when they took out Vocal Point. Even though they are not as good as the top two, they're better than Urban Method and Afro Blue IMO.

eh I don't know if I like the sing-off or not it's a cool idea of a show, but they don't ever really have that great of singers or songs.

I'll be honest, I don't like the leads in Pentatonix as much as I like the leads in Dartmouth Aires, but you have to admit the bass is just absolutely incredible.
No comment on the beatboxing because, well, it's beatboxing. I don't listen to much of 'em.

Compared to modern pop singers, they are infinite times better. Some of the bad ones actually raise their shoulders when they breathe -_-

[Reincarnate]

I like both Pentatonix and Dartmouth Aires for different reasons -- Michael's got the best voice out of all of them
