I liked team Lachey the best last night. Haven't listened to all of tonight yet, but I had a problem with several of the choirs spotlighting one or two singers, which basically took away the 'choir' aspect and made it a singer with backup singers. Technically, is that a choir??

Team Rowland went home and Team Bolton was in bottom two. I'm still on Team Lachey, but enjoy them all. Lots of choirs in lots of churches. Locally we have large chorales and choruses.. I think choirs typically have featured soloists, but of course you do want to hear them all sing together too. ===
quote:Choir From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Choir (disambiguation). A choir, chorale, or chorus is a musical ensemble of singers. Melbourne Chorale (back of stage)A body of singers who perform together is called a choir or chorus. The former term is very often applied to groups affiliated with a church (whether or not they actually occupy the choir) and the second to groups that perform in theatres or concert halls, but this distinction is far from rigid. "Choir" has the secondary definition of a subset of an ensemble; thus one speaks of the "woodwind choir" of an orchestra, or different "choirs" of voices and/or instruments in a polychoral composition. In typical 18th to 20 century oratorios and masses, chorus or choir is usually understood to imply more than one singer per part, in contrast to the quartet of soloists also featured in these works.

i was bummed that team Rowland went home, not onlyg for hometown pride but cause i thought they were way better than team Bolton!!! Patti is going to win cause everyone is so in awe of her. for some reason she just is rubbing me wrong. i have always admired her and loved her music but she is coming across a little insincere and diva-ish to me.

I understand what you are saying, Texannie. I LOVE Patti, but while she tells the people she's just her, she is coming off somewhat smug that she's going to win this. I don't really like her choir that much, as I feel they are more of an 'act' than a choir. Thanks for posting the definition of a choir, Seamonkey. I like to hear choirs harmonize and do different parts at the same time, etc. For me, Team Lachey's voices meld the best when they all sing. That's what I'm basing my likes and dislikes on. I, too, am not sure Bolton's choir should have won over Team Rowland.

The best thing about the host for this show is she makes the woman from Dancing with the Stars look good.

I don't know Prisoner06. Is it just me, or does she seem to absolutely idolize Patti Labelle and seems to be pushing for her choir to win. I couldn't believe it when she asked Nick who he would vote for tonight. Huh?? I liked Nick's choir best tonight. Again, it's the way their voices sound together. So amazing they are 20 strangers (except for father and daughter.) Having said that, Patti sang "Over the Rainbow" beautifully.

I think Nick's group is definitely more a 'choir'--patti's group is good but doesn't blend as well, I thought the last song's for both nick and patti nick nailed it--patti was more a solo with a little back up--nick's was a choir with a solo

I liked the Bumble Bee song by Nick's choir. I also still love Patti's choir.

yikes, I see I'm in the minority as usual. I dont understand the public votes at all. Song choice and ability seems to be ignored, instead this is a popularity contest>? absolutely cant stand to even listen to Patti's choir. All that high pitched shrieking is harsh and the worst is that I dont find her choir diverse in voices, they all kinda seem the same. It didnt even sound 'in tune' to me. Loved the complex harmonies in the "joy" medley. Thought that Nick's Bumblebee arrangement was silly and I'm glad he admitted it was done in his high school...that is what it sounded like. I thought Bolton Choir was the best and most diverse in ages and voices. Song choice wasnt the best however. Anyways, the last half hour is still to go. I should read what you guys had to say when commercial breaks are on LOL

Patti is going to win cause everyone is so in awe of her. it is obvious. As for this host, I like her. It is refreshing to see a naturally built woman on stage. Its funny how we are so conditioned to see big buzzooms on the spokesmodels/ hosts. I'm glad she looks natural and I hope that is the new trend so young girls realize that they CAN make it without implants.

I kinda agree that Patti winning seems to be a foregone conclusion, from the host, to the stressing on the horrible loss of her sisters, to the choir member who survived NHL, to Patti's talk of never winning a competition and praying to win. I thought the right three choirs came through, but at least so far.. I'm up to 9:06pm and I did not like Patti's choir on the Christmas song, thought team Shelton was not as inspired in their first number. I'm VERY impressed with Team Lachey and what he's created with them.. very diverse presentations.. I just didn't expect it out of him, so it is pleasing to see. I liked the silly bumblebee song. I'm glad they are having all the choirs sing and the host keeps endlessly talking about a surprise and all being happy, which seems like a ham-handed, non surprising way to say that all charities will get a donation of some sort.. why not wait and make it a true surprise? Right now, because of her statements, I'll be disappointed if that doesn't happen, while if it had been a real surprise, it would have been a sweet, feel-good moment. Liked Team Lachey's Christmas song.. very upbeat. Like his charity, Children's hospitals being a soft spot for me.

Being a purist, I like hearing Joy to the World by Team Shelton, though I think a capella might have ben even better since the instruments are almost distracting. I'm a sucker for harmony since my mom taught us Christmas songs in three part harmony. LOL.. we'd be doing the dishes in the middle of a hot, humid, muggy Detroit summer singing away. Like his charity too.

I thought "Joy to the World" was the best song last night although I did enjoy "The Flight of the Bumblebee" for its uniqueness and challenge to the choir. I do like the host however she needs to learn how to ask better questions. She keeps asking the celebrities how they feel after their choirs sing but doesn't seem to vary it up. I also loved how everyone kicked off their shoes after Patti Labelle did it.

I thought Nick's flight of the bumble bee was great. If the definition of choir is 'many voices coming together as one', then he sure did it.
