The”Sing-Off” is a four night special holiday event that begins Monday, December 14 at 8pm ET through 10pm ET. Former 98 Degrees member Nick Lachey will be hosting the event which should draw our attention away immediately, but considering singer/song-writer Ben Folds is one of the judges, we may stick around after all. According to reports, “The Sing-Off” is like “American Idol” for cappella groups. The show premiered tonight and will continue on both Tuesday and Wednesday night with a live finale scheduled for December 21. Sounds like a nice little Christmas event the whole family can enjoy. So be sure to tune in tomorrow night at 8pm ET as this special event continues.
Folds produced The Dresden Dolls‘ Amanda Palmer’s first solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer which was released September 16, 2008. He also performs on the album. Folds’ most recent studio album, entitled Way To Normal was released on September 30, 2008 in the United States and on September 29, 2008 in the United Kingdom.[17][18][19] It became Folds’ highest-charting album ever in the US, debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200. Folds became the first person to broadcast a live concert over MySpace. In May 2006, Folds contributed three original songs to the soundtrack of Over the Hedge, a DreamWorks production, as well as a cover of The Clash song “Lost in the Supermarket”.
This is the same man who began as a 9 year old on the piano his carpenter father brought him home. A modest bespectacled face.
