Video: Huntsville’s Committed performs “This Love”
by Maroon 5 on the season premiere of “The Sing-Off.”
Huntsville has something to sing about. The a cappella Christian/jazz group Committed made its national debut on Monday’s premiere of “The Sing-Off.” The NBC reality competition returned for its second season, offering the winning group a $100,000 cash prize and a Sony recording contract.
Committed performed last, singing Maroon 5’s “This Love” to the delight of the celebrity judges. Two of the 10 groups were eliminated: Men of Note and Pitch Slapped.
The group formed as a quartet in an Orlando high school, adding members after starting at Oakwood University in Huntsville. Members Dennis “DJ” Baptiste, Alain “Tommy” Gervais, Geston Pierre, Robert “Robbie” Pressley Jr., Maurice Staple and Theron “Therry” Thomas sing gospel and jazz, and four members can play instruments.
The remaining shows will air from 7 to 9 tonight, Monday, Dec. 15 and 20 (live finale) on Alabama’s 13.
