Lynbrook Native's A Capella Group Gets Rave Reviews on 'The Sing Off'

Lynbrook native and her a capella group, the University of Delaware Deltones, performed "Edge of Glory" by Lady GaGa and "You Can't Hurry Love" by The Supremes Monday night on The Sing-Off.

The group received positive reviews from judges for their performance, advancing to the next round. Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men fame, had kind words for the group's opening performance of Lady GaGa: "Great job, really solid. I was concerned about the [Lady GaGa] choice - but you guys did a really great job."

The reviews were less positive for the group's next performance, however. Judge Ben Folds said of the "You Can't Hurry Love" song, "There are times when its starting to fall apart."

The Deltones have made headlines in more ways than one these past couple of weeks. On Oct. 2, they performed the national anthem in front of a packed house of more than 43,000 people at Citizens Bank Park before the start of the National League Division Series game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals.

The winning group of the competition will receive $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony Music. Follow the Deltones on Facebook and Twitter.
