The judges have a weird relationship with the old groups

They were too intimidated by the greatness of Jerry Lawson to take him out of the competition and even bended the rules of the competition to keep him in (something that was more necessary in season 3 when they had to let Afro-Blue go), then they went in reverse with North Shore which was more versatile and might have made top 5 if the judges didn't take them out of the competition too early.

Street Corner Rennaissance seems more genre-savvy than the other two groups. They knew that they had to be versatile in order to survive so they attacked One Direction and C-Lo head on and the judges appeared to love it but then eliminated them. Maybe they had a similar reaction to North Shore where they just decided that they were limited but they should have voiced that in the feedback in the first two episodes. Instead, like with Jerry Lawson's group, they just sat back in reverence and were probably too intimidated to give them that direction.

They always have an old group and a girl group and a big college group and a high school group or something. And the old groups are always out of their league technically.

More ageism in this thread. Your grandparents didn't like you or something?
What is "technically" please? Since you seem to know so much about a cappella music.

Also, congratulations on getting the basics of "tv competition" marketing. And you forgot they also always have boys bands.

I'll let someone else tell you. Ask Scott-101 when you see him post.

I was at no loss for words, sir. I just generally don't respond to people who get sarcastic and belligerent with me, as did the poster receiving the non-response to which you allude. Keep in mind that I said, "generally," Mr. "Suck on that."
