You guys watch this show ? Was flipping channels last week and came across it. Saw it before but never stopped to look as with all the singing shows out, another one wasn't appealing. So I stopped in, took a look, listened, and I'll tell ya what, this show has more raw talent, minus the drama of the other shows, than anything on tv right now. Throw in the fact that it's all voices with no bands backing them up, and it was a pleasure to watch. The groups seem to have a blast doing it too. They however seem to garnish absolutely no media attention, why is that ?

    Maybe they think less hype will equal more viewers. I'm not so sure about that strategy with the viewers of this type of programming though. Personally, I can't bear watching these "talent" shows or much of anything else on TV these days. Oh well, to each his own.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    We've watched both seasons so far and really like it. It's a great show and not anything like Americas Got Talent or other hogwash, its real.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    The wife and I both love it. It's one of the few times a week I actually crank up the HT anymore. The Queen medley that The Dartmouth Aires preformed a few weeks ago was absolutely amazing.

    BEST SHOW ON TV. As a musician, i always watched American Idol, but mostly because my friend was on it, and then I got hooked.

    This is a REAL music show, with REAL judges. Ben Folds and the guy from Boyz 2 Men especially, always make smart, accurate, intelligent comments. There's no - "It's pitchy dog", or "You just don't look like an American Idol". Also, you don't have to wait 6 weeks of watching stupid idiot asses dress up like bananas to sing the 'Chiquita Banana' song to try to make it on TV as one of the yearly idiots.

    From the first day, it's good, and stays that way. I was a big fan of the first 2 seasons winners, and this year's winner was also amazing. I'm hoping this show takes off. It's becoming big where I work.

    Wife and I both love it as well. have caught all three seasons.. this years winner was awesome as well as the runner ups.. this years show by far had the strongest final 5 of all the seasons. The acapella nature of the show is a lot fun and you can tell the judges absolutely love doing it for the music and not just the paycheck.
