I knew Committed would win from the beginning even though I wanted The Backbeats to win. In the end, it all comes down to what style you prefer. They were all good with what they do, but you can't beat the style.

Jerry Lawson and The Talk of the Town was never going to win it even though they were incredible. They just didn't have a popular style to win a popular vote.

And guess who votes most on these shows? Female audience members gawking over the hot guys. So yeah, it wasn't a surprise to me that Street Corner Symphony and Committed were the final two. I did prefer Committed over Street Corner because I love the harmonies Committed dropped throughout. They were to die for. But Street Corner did have a much more cohesive sound.

I have no problems with any of the four groups to be in the final two. I understand the reality of popular music. The Backbeats felt Broadway-ish even though they didn't sing Broadway. It had to do with the diversity of the members and their versatility, which is partly why I liked them so much but knew they couldn't win. This diverse cast isn't going to win over a branded image like the cool hip rockish southern group of Street Corner Symphony or the hot R&B soul gospel group of Committed. It's never going to happen. If you noticed how the judges talked about each group, they knew that but they held back these comments. They couldn't place the group as a whole as anything but they were reluctant to comment on that because The Backbeats really had some strong versatile musicians in that group and delivered great performances.

As for the comment for Groove For Thoughts, I understand the previous commenter's frustration, but the group messed up. It was their fault. They really did mess up with their choice and performance that round. They played it safe with their Rock choice and the daughter made a major mistake and it cost them. That was the only reason why they got knocked out. She was amazing but she did stumble at the end of her song. I was rooting for that group too. But the judges had to be fair. They can't judge based who which group is theoretically better. They have to judge the performance that was delivered. I thought the judges were spot on and still kind and nice every single time and I'm a musician myself. I think this show by far is the best singing show I have ever seen on US air and even on TV from other parts of the world.

Kudos to Sing-off. I'm looking forward to a Season 3. I hope they do one.

What a travesty. Committed were pretty good but the Street Corner Symphony were incredible. There was no comparison in the pitch, harmony, style and vocal ability between the two groups. Symphony had it ten times over. I can't help but think these so called "talent contests" are fixed. Even the judges gave way more praise to Symphony than Committed. Sorry, but I just an not buying the fairness thing.

Committed was the clear favorite from the beginning. You could always tell that from the tone of the judging. They deserved to win but they weren't the best musicians. That honor had to go to Street Corner Symphony with Groove for Thought close behind. When the Backbeats were chosen over Groove for Thought I almost quit watching. Had it not been for the variety and creativity that SCS brought I might have done just that. Committed didn't really show a lot of versatility but they were truly great at what they do but it was always the same. I think they struggle with things other than R&B and gospel inspired music. I hope they do it again next year without Nick Lachey and Nicole. I'd like to see more AI type judging without the AI condescension.

I knew that Committed would win from the first note they sang! They should have given them a check the first night. Don't get me wrong, the other groups were great. Committed was just in another category. It was like putting the Lakers against a college team. Congrats!

I never liked Committed. I'm sorry that Street Corner Symphony didn't win.

This was the best show I have seen in a long time. I could accept all of the contestants because they were all great. I was especially impressed with the judges. They were right on point, knowledgeable and kind. I think this has to do with the fact that they really knew what they were talking about. When they each joined a different group for the final show, that was the ultimate test of class. It was an absolute pleasure watching such class acts.

The right two groups stood at the end and I think Committed was a good choice. Committed was a personal favorite but I would not have been too sad if it had gone the other way. This was such a great show. Bring on more! What happened to Lachey last night? For once he had personality, good for him.

The best group won!! THEY WERE GREAT !!! Congrats fellow Alabamians!!

Think the show was very entertaining this season (as was season 1). It's the only talent competition tv show I watch. Voted for The Backbeats but can't argue with the winner (or runner-up for that matter).
