(Spoiler alert: Do not read if you have not yet seen the two-hour “The Sing-Off” special on NBC.)
Fans of NBC’s “The Sing-Off” might have been a little confused when they tuned in to the a cappella singing competition Wednesday night. After all, at the end of the two-hour episode, Nick Lachey was already crowning a winner. What happened?
Unlike past seasons of “The Sing-Off,” which ran for a couple of weeks in December — save for one attempt at a fall run — NBC trimmed the veteran show to one two-hour blast for its fifth run.
There were six groups competing for the top prize, and with no time to improve over the course of a season, or really even share their stories, the groups really had to bring their best if they wanted to win.
