STAGE TUBE: Afro-Blue is Eliminated from NBC's THE SING-OFF

On last night's episode of NBC's THE SING-OFF, Afro-Blue became the most recent group to be eliminated from the competition.  On the show, the a cappella singing groups were challenged to sing a mash up of two songs which were related lyrically, as well as a song chosen by the judges.  With Afro-Blue out of the running, the remaining groups competing for the $200,000 grand prize are the Dartmouth Aires, Pentatonix and Urban Method.

On last night's competition, Afro-Blue chose a mash-up of Nicki Minaj and Rihanna's song 'Fly' as well as R Kelly's version of 'I Believe I Can Fly'.  For the judges selection, the group sang  'A Change Is Gonna Come' by Sam Cooke.

Unfortunately, it came down to Afro-Blue and the Darmouth Aires battling out for a spot in next week's show. Afro-Blue sang Estelle's 'American Boy', while Dartmouth Aires chose 'Somebody To Love' by Queen. 

After hearing the news of their elimination, Afro-Blue chose 'It's Only Just Begun' by The Carpenters as their swansong.

THE SING OFF is the unique competition series that sings a different tune and is hosted by multi-platinum recording artist Nick Lachey, returns for season three this fall in a weekly format with two-hour episodes.

The show scours the country in search of the best a capella groups, ranging in size and age. This year the competition has expanded to the 16 very best groups who will perform popular songs in a weekly competition that will culminate with a live finale revealing the grand-prize winner. The groups will be competing for America's vote and a chance to walk away with the ultimate prize -- a Sony Music recording contract and a $200,000 cash prize.

There's no lip-synching, back-up bands or safety net. One group will be eliminated each week during this one-of-a-kind battle of voices that will lead up to a live finale -- where viewers will decide the winner.

Celebrity judges who will critique the singing groups, using their musical expertise, are Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five), Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men) and Sara Bareilles ("Love Song" and "King of Anything").

THE SING-OFF airs Mondays at 8:00 pm/et on the NBC Network.
