Time for a look at the Sing Off Week 2 Preview!

Eight more groups compete in part two of the season premiere.

I must admit that I think the Sing Off is going against some tough competition tonight for The Sing Off 2011 Premiere. It’s going up against the powerful and popular Dancing with the Stars. Plus, it has the finale of Hell’s Kitchen. Plus, the premiere of comedy night on CBS. DWTS is obviously going to take away the most viewers since it likely has a very similar audience. I’ll be interested to see the ratings for tonight.

If you like a capella, then you’re going to enjoy this video of Sami Tsui Medley
The Sing-Off Digital Correspondent Sam Tsui sings an a cappella medley of songs from the judges.

Even their correspondent can sing.

This evening you could also check out NBC Live. Looks like NBC is working to provide a social TV watching experience. I’ll be interested to see how that goes for NBC. No doubt we already to much of this on twitter (you can follow me on @tvblog).

I found another great video introduction of the Sing Off 2011 cast. Sam Tsui does a good job introducing the various a cappella groups they have on this season of The Sing-Off. Does anyone already have a favorite? Mine is the BYU group Vocal Point since that’s where I went to college.

The summer 2011 lineup of TV shows is just around the corner. Today I came across one on NBC called Love in the wild. Ten men and ten women set out on the adventure of their love lives. It’s kind of a mix of Bachelor, Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and Amazing Race. Hot guys and girls being romantic has been a winner on TV for a long time. We’ll see how this one does. Filming in the wild is harder than it looks.

Unfortunately, my camera died right as I started to film with Kent and Vyxsin. However, this answer was worth posting. Enjoy this short video. More video of Kent and Vyxsin to come.

I’ve heard so many good things about the BBC show “Planet Earth.” So, of course I was excited to learn that the first episode of Planet Earth is available for download on iTunes for FREE . Yep, that’s right a free Planet Earth download on iTunes. I have my free download going now.

Plus, the download of Planet Earth on iTunes is actually in HD too. Even nicer. It’s only available for free between 4/12 – 4/26. I’ll let you know what I think of the show once mine is downloaded.

*West Coast Spoiler* This video from the end of American Idol has to be one of the most memorable parts of this episode of American Idol. In case you missed it, check out “Pants on the Ground”:

Those people looking for the lyrics to Pants on the Ground, hopefully this will help:
Pants on the ground, pants on the ground.
Lookin’ like a fool with ya pants on the ground.
With da gold in ya mouth, hat turned sideways
Pants hit the ground, ya call yourself a cool cat
Lookin’ like a fool, walking downtown
With ya pants on the ground
Git it up
Hey!

Tonight is the premiere of a new show called the Sing-Off on NBC. I’m really interested to see how this show does. I love music. I love reality tv. I love a capella (when it’s done right). My college had some amazing a capella groups and if this show lives up to that standard, then I’m sure it will be a night to remember.

Check out this clip of the singers from the Sing-Off on NBC:

Also, here’s a short video highlighting where the 8 a capella groups come from and what they’re all about:

A brand new set of judges. It will be interesting to see how many of the judges embrace the challenge and ridicule of being a judge. Many of the stars turned judge are soft and won’t share what they’re really feeling. Let’s hope that’s not the case with these judges.
