Ben Folds is Judge on NBC’s ‘The Sing-Off’

"The Sing-Off" is a four night special holiday event that begins Monday, December 14 at 8pm ET through 10pm ET. Former 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey will be hosting the event which should draw our attention away immediately, but considering singer/song-writer Ben Folds is one of the judges, we may stick around after all. According to reports, "The Sing-Off" is like "American Idol" for cappella groups. The show premiered tonight and will continue on both Tuesday and Wednesday night with a live finale scheduled for December 21. Sounds like a nice little Christmas event the whole family can enjoy. So be sure to tune in tomorrow night at 8pm ET as this special event continues.
A new four-night special holiday event show called “The Sing-Off” began on NBC last night and for those of you who didn’t see it, it’s an American Idol-esque talent show but instead of individuals, there are groups performing.

Director Sam Wiesman is the show’s producer, and former 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey is the host. (This too has a lot of people rolling their eyes, but not to worry.) One judge who has helped the show catch a lot of attention is singer-songwriter Ben Folds, who released an album earlier this year of college a cappella groups covering his songs. We also have on the panel Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men, and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls.

The show airs on NBC for the next two nights at 8:00 p.m. ET, with the finale airing live on Monday, December 21st. The winning group will receive $100,000 and a major-label record contract.
