The third season of The Sing-Off is over and - thank God - the best group came out victorious. The judges (and America) got it right. Even in a season sprinkled with the most vocal talent yet, Pentatonix consistently showed up their competition. This acapella group from small-town Texas is just unstoppable, and I can't say enough about their performances. They're five people who create the sound of twenty. A quintet on a bare stage with nothing but their voices, and what comes out sounds like a bonafide track.
The lead and back-up vocals are shared by the group's original three members: Scott, Kirstie and Mitch. They're insanely talented. For most performances, Scott's generally the frontman. He's sexy as hell (fingers crossed he's not gay), made sexier by his pitch-perfect voice. Kirstie and Mitch grab time in the spotlight when the song calls for it, but shine even in the background. Their blend is gorgeous. And I expect to be engaged to Scott any day now ------->
Then there's the two newest members who make up the rhythm & bass section: Kevin and Avi. I'm convinced they're not real. Judge Shawn Stockman deemed them "Meat" and "Potatoes", praising them on being the heart of every track and creating so much depth. Avi's speaking voice is reminiscent of Barry White, which makes him an insane bass. And Kevin does some of the best beatboxing I've ever witnessed in my life. So when these two talented guys lay the groundwork beneath the layered harmonies of the other three - they're no competition. Their arrangements every week were risky and unique. They showcased everyone's talents and kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
In my opinion, here are their top four performances (in order):
