It's Guilty Pleasure night on The Sing Off as the top 10 groups meet on the stage for the first time.

 

All ten groups hit the stage to start the show with a tribute to Lionel Richie as they sing "All Night Long." Another fun start to the show.

This week, five groups will perform and then one will be sent home. Then the remaining five will perform and another group will be sent home...it's double-elimination night tonight folks!

 

The YellowJackets are up first singing their guilty pleasure, "Wannabe" by The Spice Girls. It was very corny and cheesy, but I loved it. It was very entertaining and they sang well.

 

The beauties of Delilah are trying to fight back after being in the bottom two last show. They'll be singing "What A Feeling" by Irene Cara from Flashdance. It was another good performance. I liked the lead singer's tone, because it was sultry and sexy.

 

Time for the older guys of North Shore, as they started out in rehearsal singing "MMMBop" by Hanson, but with two days before the show they switched it to "Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News. Not having much time to rehearse the new song, I think it lacked something. It just wasn't that great for me.

 

Up next is The Collective, the group of former solo artists, who will be singing "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. This was a great performance and a very good rendition of the song. The two girls coming out as the leads sang amazing together...excellent vocals.

 

The Dartmouth Aires are the last group to perform before one group is sent home. Their guilty pleasure is "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. Another entertaining performance by this group. Great vocals and fun and energy and choreography.

 

It is time for one group to go home. The first three groups that are safe: The Collective, YellowJackets and Dartmouth Aires. That leaves us with Delilah and North Shore. The group that will remain in the race for the grand prize is Delilah, so we say goodbye to North Shore.

 

First up in the second group is Afro-Blue, which is one of my faves. For their guilty pleasure, they'll be singing "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Houston. And I love them even more. Taking on a Whitney song is always tough, but they worked that song out. They had great vocals and great choreography and so entertaining.

 

Pentatonix is up next who also switched their song choice two days before the show. They started out singing "Believe" by Cher, but switched it to "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles. I thought it was fun and upbeat and had some great sound effects and beatboxes in there. A very solid drum and bass section.

 

Next up are the Deltones, who choose "Listen To Your Heart" by Roxette. Feeling motivated to prove to everyone they deserve to be there, they worked extra hard preparing. I think the hardwork paid off, because I enjoyed this. The rendition was good...they slowed it down some. Judges weren't feeling it though.

 

Urban Method, another one of my faves (even though I love them all), is bringing their rapping-style to the stage next. They'll be singing "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe. That was an awesome performance. It was very fun and great vocals and entertaining and sexy.

 

The last group of the night, Vocal Point, is here with all their members now after Ben's return and will be singing "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins. This was my favorite performance of the night. So fun and great vocals and very entertaining. It made me wanna dance as I sat on my couch. Good job guys.

 

Now time to find out the second group that will go home tonight. The first three groups that are safe: Pentatonix, Urban Method and Vocal Point. That leaves us with Afro-Blue and The Deltones. Afro-Blue will be moving on, so we say goodbye to the Deltones.

 

The Sing Off airs Mondays at 8/7c on NBC.
