Save ‘The Sing-Off!’

http://twitter.com/#!/BenFolds/status/202873254229180417

There are a glut of TV talent shows out there — most with dud judges who have far more cleavage and cliches than knowledge. We love NBC’s “The Sing-Off.” No freaks, no sideshows, no celebrity hacks. Just amazing talent and discerning judges with substantive criticism and career advice to offer a cappella groups of all ages. After three seasons, it appears NBC won’t be renewing the show.

Indie singer/songwriter/Sing-Off judge Ben Folds and Boyz2Man crooner/Sing-Off judge Shawn Stockman have joined forces with Twitter fans to try and save the program.
