More information to fill the lists for cancelled shows of 2012 and renewed shows of 2012. This one is a bit surprising. I thought the network would stick to it for midsummer programming or something along the lines. But nope… NBC cancelled The Sing Off, and the reality competition show will not get to see the air again. It is understandable though, since breakout hit The Voice will have two cycles a year, making it more difficult for other singing shows, hence The Sing Off gets cancelled.
The Sing-Off is an American television singing competition featuring a cappella groups. It on NBC for three seasons from December 14, 2009 to November 28, 2011 and was produced by Sony Pictures Television.
It is hosted by Nick Lachey (formerly of the boy band 98 Degrees), with judges Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman (of the R&B vocal group Boyz II Men), and originally Nicole Scherzinger, later replaced by Sara Bareilles. The show’s music staff all come from the a cappella community: Deke Sharon, Bill Hare, Ed Boyer, Ben Bram, Robert Dietz, and Christopher Diaz.
A cappella groups from the United States, including Puerto Rico, are chosen by audition and advanced in the competition based on judges’ eliminations until the finale, with the winners being determined by viewer votes.
What do you think? Are you sad that The Sing Off got cancelled? Let me know in the comments section.
Also, remember to follow me on Twitter for more scoop about shows getting cancelled as The Sing Off did.
I think it is EXCEEDINGLY SAD that a show with as much raw talent as The Sing Off is cancelled in lieu of other shows that should never have even been brought to the boardroom!
A-Capella music is the purest form of singing and the fact that “Xtina” still has “The Voice” as a CHEAP way of showing off her YOYO weight and blatant cleavage IS A CRIME when these talented groups simply need a way to showcase their talents!!
I CRY over this in bureaucratic in-justice!!
You know, NBC is not the only broadcasting company. It would serve them right if another company picked The Sing Off up and made big bucks from it. The talent is there and the showcase for it….it simply needed another time slot and that was an option, always. But the BRAINS at NBC just flushed it down the drain. Come on people, give us a break. This was the one decent show that actually hit the airwaves and I believe the most fair….Now, if you wanna talk crap—let’s talk AGT cause there is a boatload of crap…..but since it is mostly crap, it has a following that is unreal. True, there are some talented folks that we get to see, but most of it is crap. Give The SIng Off another time slot, for goodness sake. We should have some VOICE in this, no pun intended.
This is heart breaking. My daughter and I realized just this morning, that the Sing-Off should have aired by now, and only now do I find out it’s been cancelled? I’m so tired of the knock-off “American Idol” shows. The Sing-Off was refreshing, different. It show cased real talent – not melodies hidden behind instruments. Even with all the other singing shows, The Sing-Off deserves a spot. Please bring it back!
I am so disappointed that Sing Off was cancelled! My husband & I have been waiting for it to come on & never did see it so we just figured it aired & we missed it! There is so much talent on that show! Maybe they can do away with American Idol or X Factor & bring Sing Off back on!!! PLEASE????????? We miss the show! = (
