NBC's "The Sing-Off" is crack for a music geek like me. i still can't believe a reality show about a cappella groups made it into a second season- a cappella can be so hard to relate to (think of the fictional Dalton Academy Warblers on Glee- God bless you, Criss Dalton/Blaine). i have to watch this show in private b/c to have anyone hear me scream "you call that a modulation?" and "is that all you could do with that chord!?!" is just terrible- terrible!- for my street cred.
but this week's version of Estelle's "American Boy" by Afro Blue of Howard University is so sick i'm willing to go public w/my addiction so you can hear this. if you can't listen to something w/o analyzing its harmonies, this'll keep you busy for a while.
