Haven't watched The Sing Off yet but soon. And with the promise of more good Afro Blue? Hells, yeah. I am living for them on this show.
TAR: Read the clue. Dumbass.
ETA: In this scenario, big sign on the table where you are doing the task = probably connected to the task and therefore meant to be read, not that the gimme all your money directions where in the actual clue.
I like the snowboarders quite a bit. Mom and Dad seem nice enough but I think they'll be gone soon. The brother and sister Bickerson's have got to go right now. Everyone else is kind of a blur still.
ETAlsoA: The long term gay couple are no Guidos. I'm just saying.
I don't know what I missed with that Sinatra number last night, but I thought that they wrecked a gorgeous song. I really hated that arrangement, and when the judges were plotzing over it, I was flabbergasted.
Delilah was really lucky that Kinship 9 screwed up last week, because I think that previous performance was the only thing that saved them last night. They completely missed on "Heat Wave," but their first song was really good.
And I cannot stand it when young singers start spouting off about not knowing any old songs. You've got the entirety of recorded song available online--if you've failed to listen to songs from previous decades, that's your fault and something you should have fixed years ago if you're planning on being a professional singer.
not to mention that most of the songs performed last night (from the '60s) have been sung by several different artists having several different interpretations. Listen to the original on youtube and then some variations and figure it out.

I know!! And yet, I have no idea if I would have read it or not.

Yes!!
My favorite 60s songs from last night were the two that changed it up some, Afro Blue and Kinship 9. I liked the change in tempo that AB did, as well as turning it into their own song with their own flavor, and Kinship did a great job of turning "Let It Be" into a gospel song (loved Shawn's covered-mouth reaction at the end!).
Afro Blue has the real stuff. Damn damn.
They are definitely the early favorites this season, and looking at the other groups' reactions to that first performance of theirs last night, everyone else knows it, too.
Chris March's Mad Fashion starts tonight on Bravo at 10 p.m.

I bought that shit. You know how I feel about iTunes. Their rendition of "American Boy" was amazing. And I don't love them just because they're from Howard.
Unrelated to the current conversation, but I am so disappointed that the
wrecking ball Newton's cradle
on Mythbusters failed. Not altogether surprised, just disappointed.
PR: ANYA made a crack at KIMBERLY not knowing how to sew? Come on, now. That said, she could totally win the whole thing -- imagine how good her construction could get with all of the time they have to create the collections?
I love that Burt's styling reference was Marisa Berenson. Does anyone who works there know who she is??
And it cracked me up when MichaelKors said he's an orange kind of guy. Did he actually mean his skin??
