At the risk of suffering slings and arrows, I have to urge everyone here to tune in to NBC on Monday at 8PM when the "Sing-Off" finale will be broadcast live.
While Sing-Off is a form of reality show, replete with a goofy host, celebrity judges and artificial suspense, it is actually an a capella music competition with some magnificent vocalists. If you remove the plastic formula and just pay attention to the music, I promise you will feel chills and have your breath taken away.
The competition began with 10 a capella group and has whittled down to four. Those that remain deliver vocals like you've never (and really should) have heard.

www.nbc.com/sing-off Ben Folds is one of the celebrity judges, and even he has suspended his cynicism to acknowledge the amazing talent and drive of these groups. This is no American Idol. This is the real deal.
Everyone here on AN loves music. Thus, I implore you to watch this show.
