The X Factor

"The Sing-Off"

Season 1 of this a cappella singing group competition didn't necessarily come to a close with a second season being in the bag, yet here we are in the middle of a third, and with affable host Nick Lachey still holding down the forte (get it? Forte!). With Pussycat ... more Doll Nicole Scherzinger gone as a judge after Season 2, this third season seemed even more of a long shot, but Sara Bareilles is doing her Adam Levine best at keeping things interesting. Certainly more than the performances. Winner prediction: Messiah's Men.
