Mosaic's 'Got Talent'

The a cappella group Mosaic (who make a cameo in Pitch Perfect, talking about a Las Vegas run-in with Prince) made it to the Top 40 on NBC's America's Got Talent. The live shows begin August 4th. Congratulations, gentlemen.

One question: Is it strange that Mosaic previously won MTV's Top Pop Group title? (That story here.)

Anywho...here's a clip of Mosaic from an earlier round of Talent.

Will Emma Watson Join an A Cappella Group?

So, Emma Watson—Harry Potter's Hermione—is off to Brown University this fall. (Paste magazine has that story here.) The burning question: Will Hermione join an a cappella group?!

And more importantly, Which group should she join? The co-ed Higher Keys? The all-female Chattertocks? The upstart Harmonic Motion?

We're guessing she'll be in high demand, despite this audition:

New Hyannis Sound

Pretty darn good.

One complaint: Will someone please re-arrange "Signed, Sealed, Delivered?" This may be the most overdone song—and the most overdone arrangement of said song—in collegiate a cappella.
