The Sing Off Premiere

The Sing Off Premiere - Tonight the show The Sing-Off returns to NBC. To be 100% honest, I had no idea it had actually aired in the past and that this was the second season. But it is the second season and host Nick Lachey will return to emcee the contest.

The Sing-Off is a singing competition that pits singing groups against one another. No music, this is an all acappella contest. The idea is that it is basically a real life Glee which is exactly how NBC is promoting it. The groups take some of today’s hottest songs and twist them up, rearrange them and make them their own. The winning group gets a Sony Music recording contract and $100,000. They may also get some extra work. Last season’s runners-up, The Beelzebubs, appeared on the hit show Glee as one of the glee club’s rivals The Warblers.
Judging the The Sing Off is Shawn Stockman, Nicole Scherzinger and Ben Folds. All three have a lot of music industry credibility. Shawn Stockman was part of the mega-hit group Boyz II Men who have sold millions of records over the year. Nicole Scherzinger is one of the hottest acts in music right now. Formally the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls, she has struck out on her own and is currently promoting her solo album. Ben Folds is a god. Those of you who are unfamiliar with him should go to YouTube and search for his song Brick. He is the unlikely member here because he was never in a singing group and his songs are more melody and lyric driven. He is a songwriter where the other two are performers, but he is also a guy who is heavy into different types of music so his all-around expertise does help round out the group.

Best Indoor Exercise

Best Indoor Exercise - There are several indoor exercises you can do to keep in shape. But which are the best? They can be split in to two categories. The first is body weight exercises, meaning you use your own body weight to provide resistance. The second is using some sort of equipment. There are pros and cons to both. The biggest advantage to doing body weight exercises is they can be done anywhere. Whether you're on holiday, travelling for work, or if you just want a quick exercises to do. There are quite a few body weight exercises that can be done. If you wish to work out your abdominal muscles, sit ups or crunches are a good one.

Kinect Review

Kinect Review - First presented to the world as Project Natal at E3 2009, Microsoft's Kinect sensor peripheral has since been positioned by the software (and hardware) giant as the next phase of Xbox 360's evolution as a platform. A combination of hardware and software, it's been billed as a means for users to interact with their consoles and play games without using a physical controller, using natural gestures, voice commands and face recognition. I've had a final retail Kinect unit at home for a little over a week now, and have had ample time to put the shiny new gadget through its paces. Is it as magical as expected? Will it transform gaming? Or, more importantly, does it even work? Read on past the break for my in-depth review of this ambitious apparatus. Kinect is a single piece of hardware, yet it incorporates several distinct technologies. There's an infrared emitter that floods your play space with invisible light, paired with a CMOS sensor that then l...
