The University of Rochester YellowJackets were the most recent  group to be eliminated on the NBC singing competition THE SING OFF.  The group performed a medley of Billy Joel songs on last night's episode, which included "River of Dreams", 'She's Always a Woman' and 'Uptown Girl'.

YellowJackets member JamAl Moore spoke on behalf of his group following the elimination, saying "It was an amazing experience. We learned so much from all the groups, we made tons of friends, and we know we made our family up there proud and our fans back in Rochester too.  This isn't the last you've heard of the YellowJackets - we're going to keep making music and keep making you all proud."

The remaining groups in the competition are Dartmouth Aires, Afro-Blue, Vocal Point, Urban Method, Pentatonix and Delilah.

THE SING OFF is the unique competition series that sings a different tune and is hosted by multi-platinum recording artist Nick Lachey, returns for season three this fall in a weekly format with two-hour episodes.

The show scours the country in search of the best a capella groups, ranging in size and age. This year the competition has expanded to the 16 very best groups who will perform popular songs in a weekly competition that will culminate with a live finale revealing the grand-prize winner. The groups will be competing for America's vote and a chance to walk away with the ultimate prize -- a Sony Music recording contract and a $200,000 cash prize.

There's no lip-synching, back-up bands or safety net. One group will be eliminated each week during this one-of-a-kind battle of voices that will lead up to a live finale -- where viewers will decide the winner.

Celebrity judges who will critique the singing groups, using their musical expertise, are Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five), Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men) and Sara Bareilles ("Love Song" and "King of Anything").

THE SING OFF returns next Monday at 8/7c on NBC.
