The moves were more yoga-like than I expected, or maybe that's my own experience talking.
Also, I loved the HCA impersonator. Also fiendish task much? Having to memorize, then navigate on a bike in a strange city.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Daaaaamn, Pentatonics. If they don't win, I don't know what. And on the record deal/career front, it's so much likelier that they'd be successful as a professional group with only five people, no?

Okay, Pentatonix is rocking my world on "The Sing-Off." And 3 of the 5 members of the group are only 19 years old! Un-freakin-believable.

Because books.
That number was fantastic.

Of course, all the college kids (Aires, Afro Blue, etc) are about that age, too. It's the arrangers who really impress me at that age -- we know teenagers can sing!

Oh, I don't think I commented on this at the time, but remember a couple of weeks ago when that Michael from the Aires was saying he was now considering a career in music, and the judges were like, "Dude. What else were you going to do??" Dudes. He's at Dartmouth. You know his parents aren't paying that kind of money for their kid to be a struggling artist!

I don't know why I was surprised about how young the Pentatonix kids are. They just seem so mature, both musically and emotionally. The college boys seem like -- well, like college boys.
I know the judges rave about Michael from the Dartmouth Aires, but he really doesn't do it for me. And he's gonna do damage to his voice if he keeps singing in that way. He always sounds so strained.

Oh, I totally agree with you on Pentatonix, really.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, having them sing an encore was just needlessly cruel.
Based on the performances tonight only, I'd say Aires should be the one to go. They were a bit of a mess in both songs, even though they were high energy and entertaining.
I honestly don't get why the judges love Urban Methods so much. They've never done much for me.
PENTATONIX 4EVAH!

NOT HAPPY. I thought that Afro Blue were better musicians, stronger arrangements. I liked the Aires, don't get me wrong, but their entertainment value overshadowed their musicality.
And I couldn't resist a hearty HU! when they mentioned Howard.
So. Sad. They were terrific. Better than Urban Method, definitely.
eta: I think that Pentatonix is going to take it, but I think that Afro Blue was the second strongest group.
