I love a cappella music, so The Sing Off felt like it was made for me. Ben Folds is magic,, Shawn Stockman (Boyz 2 Men

Well, you say "Ben Folds" and "a capella" and, of course, I go here:

Impromptu a capella is even better, IMO.

Seems like a sweet guy, doesn't he?

And he's a fascinating judge, on The Sing Off. He's my favorite kind -- he's constructive, but he clearly brings SO much musical knowledge to his critiques. Listening to him, you really learn something about music. He describes what he's hearing when he judges, and it's a lot more than I'm hearing, so it's really fascinating.

That's my favorite kind of commentator, in any field: The one who wants to share their knowledge.
