Ooh, fun! That one is definitely already season passed on the TiVo.

I really liked the way that it was about the music, not the way the singers look or dance. The judges were solid, had good criticism, and were really helpful in the singers' development.

I'm going to miss Ben Folds. I was thinking it should have been coming on soon, too.

Dammit. I really liked The Sing-Off. And yet they found the need to bring The Voice back for two seasons per year, and I have decided that I'm over that. Or maybe I'll just tune in for the blind auditions and just stop watching after that part.

Boo! The Sing Off was a great show. Some of the best singing and judging on reality TV. Seems silly to dump it. I thought ratings were pretty decent for the show, too. I'd definitely take that show over an early return for The Voice (and I like The Voice) or over yet another Idol style singing show like Duets where the contestants weren't bad but the format is funky and the judging is cray-cray.
