As for "Clash of the Choirs"... -And I don't mean to be a Scrooge about this, I'm just really curious...
After seeing all that background footage on various people, I had to wonder just how much the pre-interview/screening had to do with the selection process. I mean, what if it just happened to turn out that everyone selected from a particularly city just happened to have a good voice but no meaty backstory?
Additionally... While watching the show last night - and even the previous nights - I seemed to detect some "sweetening" hear and there. -Especially last night during one of Team Lachey's performances - those were some awfully close harmonies sang rather well.
My new friend, Michael, actually went to the finale last night in New York City - well, they were filming in Brooklyn - and it will be interesting to hear his "live" report.
