So there are some Christmas-y moments, but they’re all tight, and when they cut back to the wide shot, somehow all the tinsel is gone and Jewel’s hair is longer. I have a theory that the producers had no idea when this show was going to air all season long, the host, judges, and groups have referred to episodes as “weeks,” even though they’ve been airing on subsequent days. Tonight’s episode is sort of occasionally Christmas-themed. I will hold back from reviewing their contributions to tonight’s telecast, as they are limited mostly to “Who is that?” “Is she good?” and “Why are they yelling?” (Just kidding. The big problem with “The Man in the Mirror” is that, at the end of it, someone will always have to stare right down the barrel of the camera and tell the audience, spoken-word-style, to “make that change.” But honestly, on December 23, I’m just relieved not to be hearing Dean Martin’s version of “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”Īlso, you should know that I am writing this from my parents’ house in St. (As Michael Jackson theories go, you have to admit that this one is difficult to dispute.) Performance-wise, there are notes all over the place, and basic choreography, and no clear idea of why it’s happening other than there is time to kill, so it’s competition-show standard.

The season-four finale begins with our top three vocal groups - Ten, Vocal Rush, and Home Free - group-numbering the hell out of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.” It’s a gesture that is obligatory in shows of this kind, and sometimes I wonder whether Michael Jackson didn’t foresee a future full of singing-competition shows and write this song to keep his kids fed forever.

(Actually, the contract will be with Madison Gate Records, a small Sony subsidiary with no promotional budget that mostly releases movie soundtracks, and also the recording industry is a shambles, and also two of the three remaining groups have ten or more members, so after taxes they’d each come away from this experience owing NBC $300. Tonight, we determine which vocal group will receive a recording contract with Sony and a cash prize of $100,000. Tonight, we reveal the winner of The Sing-Off. It was a more innocent time, and as our culture has evolved, I’m glad to have had the strong shoulders of Nick Lachey to lean on.īut tonight, we must part. Laugh your face off.You guys, it’s finally here! Can you even remember where you were when The Sing-Off began its epic fourth season, two whole weeks ago? Back then, Duck Dynasty was just another show you didn’t watch, Justine Sacco was gainfully employed, and none of us had any idea who’d been nominated for the Golden Globes. Still feel weird? How about Landry Fields as Nicki Minaj, Lisa Rinna as Katy Perry (or Dolly Parton!), and Sebastian Bach as Lady Gaga. What does Sebastian Bach sound like when he performs as Adam Levine? Well, he sounds like Sebastian Bach doing a Maroon 5 cover, meaning, not terrible.Īnd what does Sebastian Bach sound like when he performs as Willie Nelson? It’s hard to pay attention because you’ll be too busy trying to figure out that makeup. Lisa Rinna does a surprisingly good Justin Bieber. Who is Landry Fields? “He is currently a forward for the Toronto Raptors,” your sporty friend might inform you. The competition show’s finale aired last weekend, but in case you missed it or any of the six episodes that came before (and we can’t imagine why you would have), this was the basic premise: Celebrities dress up in one-step-above-a-Halloween-costume getups to mimic their favorite performers. Is it safe to say there was never anything quite like ABC’s Sing Your Face Off.
