The Sing-Off: The Rebuttal
Normally, my blog quotes are random Easter eggs pertaining to pop culture trivia that I tend to stumble upon. Today, however, we have a real treat: the quote you read above was actually a comment that was left on my post about NBC’s The Sing-Off competition. We don’t get a lot of reader response in these parts, so I only thought it appropriate for me to reach out to my fledgling audience.
Looking back at that post, I wrote it when I was in a bad mood. There’s a heavy dose of snark, which I realize may have distorted my message. That said, I’m not apologizing for it. What that reader failed to realize was that, under all the snark, I actually do address the musicality of the groups, based on years of study and experience.
It doesn’t take my Matlockian detective skills to realize that the comment was left by a SoCal sympathizer. Ya know how I know that? Well, I was meanest to Solo and The SoCals. Since I’m pretty sure that no Solo fan would post such an…articulate response, I’m left to believe that it’s some former VoCal, or just some random person on the CASA boards who took offense. Oh, and they pointed out my “bias”, which was only mentioned in reference to that group (well, coed groups in general).
In any case, I’ve really got nothing else to say here. To my secret admirer, I appreciate the visit, and it’s too bad that you didn’t agree with what I wrote. That said, it doesn’t mean that I was wrong. Because I wasn’t. Come back next time, and ya might like what you see.
