NBC launch new song talent contest
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 March 2009
US TV network NBC is to launch a rival to Fox TV’s long running pop talent show ‘American Idol’. It will be called ‘The Sing Off’ and I think it’s USP is that it will feature a cappella singing groups competing for the grand prize which, like the prize on its Fox rival, is reportedly a Sony Music record deal.
The Hollywood Reporter quote NBC’s Paul Teledgy thus: “This is a fantastic feel-good series that viewers of all ages can enjoy. To hear these singing groups re-create a popular song with only the sounds of their voices is truly amazing”.
