Welcome to real life Pitch Perfect where dreams are made of an unparalleled pop mash-up, unrelenting creepiness and is an unmistakable and utterly restrained a-ka-bitch. It's your new favorite TV show. You don't have to thank us.
Pop TV is bringing an a cappella reality show to its Wednesday night lineup from May 13. Sing It Onproduced singer/songwriter/famously married John Legend, follows a handful of singing groups from across the country as they handle rehearsals for the International Collegiate A Cappella Championship while also being studious, social wunderkinds. Yes, it's a hard life. And two of Northeastern University's finest a cappella groups live to document history.
One of the two is Nor'easter, 2013 ICCA champions, seasoned tourers and established group in the a cappella scene. It would be like the Treblades in the fictional scenario. Pop TV says Their biggest problem will be replacing all their graduate members with newbies who may or may not know what they are doing.
Here's who we're dealing with. These people are not kidding.
Then there's Pitch, Please!, a girl group new to the ICCA scene. She's Kate's Pippa of the Nor'easters, living in their shadow on Northeastern's campus even though they're really nice. They're known for their black ensemble with signature gold heels, which is a sure sign that they project just the right amount of diva. Also, Pitch, please! launched a Kickstarter to finance their first full-length album.
And here it is.
As for the rest of the teams, you'll see two of Florida State's rivals The AcaBelles and All-Night Yahtzee, as well as No Comment from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Let the epic race for gold begin.
Sing It On broadcast on Pop TV, Wednesday 13 May at 22.00
