Those of you who know me understand that I don't really care for shows in the music-oriented "reality" genre (e.g. American Idol, X Factor, The Voice, America's Got Talent, etc.), with the exception of The Sing-Off, where the real talent (esp. vocal and arrangement) is.
But even The Sing-Off was honored to host the vocal genius known as Bobby McFerrin. He is an example of a vocal Renaissance man, someone who has disciplined, nurtured and trained his voice to its seeming maximum capability, to the point where he still amazes people . . . in his 60's. Professional sports players retire decades earlier. The voice can live much longer than the body.
Enjoy Bobby McFerrin's Bach interpretation in the video, and think of the beauty of the singing voice, the fruit of discipline and how James instructs to use our powerful tongues to glorify God.

Amy and I watched season 3 of The Sing-off. Over and over again. Big fans of Michael from Dartmouth Aires. Afro-blue, awesome. Pentatonix. We love listening to Ben Folds go all "love how you did the minor chord during the bridge and the chorus ... layered the harmonies ... little flat there... good job guys". Sara B going "You're so awesome I didn't write down any notes." We love that there isn't the drama and Simon Cowell-y comments. The judges actually make helpful comments. I've been taking in some season 1 and 2 clips on YouTube.
