Is it safe to say there was never anything quite like ABC's Sing Your Face Off. The competition show's finale aired last weekend, but in case you missed it or any of the six episodes that came before (and we can't imagine why you would have), this was the basic premise: Celebrities dress up in one-step-above-a-Halloween-costume getups to mimic their favorite performers. The costumes are not great. The performances are not great. Together, though, they're amazing. Here were the best moments:Who is Landry Fields? "He is currently a forward for the Toronto Raptors," your sporty friend might inform you. Got it. Lisa Rinna does a surprisingly good Justin Bieber. I just wrote that! It stands. What does Sebastian Bach sound like when he performs as Adam Levine? Well, he sounds like Sebastian Bach doing a Maroon 5 cover, meaning, not terrible. And what does Sebastian Bach sound like...

Hit me, Lisa, one more time! Lisa Rinna channeled her inner school girl on ABC's new reality competition show, "Sing Your Face Off," singing Britney Spears' 1999 smash hit "… Baby One More Time."Rocking Brit's signature pigtails, plaid skirt and belly-bearing collared shirt, the 50-year-old actress went all in, mirroring the pop star's original choreography while she sang.Unfortunately for the "Celebrity Apprentice" star, the judges were less than impressed by her performance, as Debbie Gibson, Darrell Hammond, and guest judge RuPaul gave her the lowest combined score. "It is a nonstop process for only five days, which is not a long time," Rinna told People on Thursday. "I knew I just had to throw myself into it and cram like I was cramming for finals, really. I just went for it and I knew I would have to go hard or go home. This is the kind of thing...

It's Britney, b----. Well, not quite - but Lisa Rinna did a pretty good impression for ABC's new reality competition show Sing Your Face Off. The 50-year-old actress channeled her inner school girl on Saturday's episode, impersonating Britney Spears and singing her 1999 smash "… Baby One More Time." Rocking the music video's trademark pigtails, plaid skirt and belly-bearing collared shirt, Rinna gave a performance so convincing, you'd probably expect it during Spears's Vegas show. "It is a nonstop process for only five days, which is not a long time," Rinna told People on Thursday. "I knew I just had to throw...

Little known fact: ABC's "Sing Your Face Off," a summer series the network is apparently burning off at a rapid rate, is secretly the must-see experience of the summer. The concept: Celebs dress as famous pop stars and, I guess, mimic the featured vocalist in a performance of one of their big hits. Sebastian Bach performed as Adam Levine recently. Hooray! But better yet, Lisa Rinna performed as Britney Spears And Dolly Parton, and both performances caused me to backflip through the ceiling. There I hang, still yet. But back to that Britney performance: At the end, I literally clasped my hands over my ears like a child who hates fireworks and screamed, "Oh No, She Fell." I don't need caffeine today because Lisa's antics have filled me with endorphins. By the way, yes, that's Darrell Hammond as one of the judges. Perfect, somehow.

ABC is burning off the six episodes of Sing Your Face Off over three weeks. Has the show already been essentially cancelled? Could it return for a second season? Stay tuned?
On Sing Your Face Off, celebrities undergo makeovers and try to duplicate the performances of iconic music artists. It's hosted by John Barrowman and judged by Debbie Gibson, David Allen Grier, and Darrell Hammond.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available -- usually the next day, around 11:30am Est/8:30am Pst. Refresh to see the latest.

We’ve seen him save the world as Captain Jack Harkness on Torchwood, get caught up in the frenetic worlds of Desperate Housewives and Scandal, and of late he’s been deliciously chewing the scenerey as the evil Malcolm Merlyn on Arrow.
This summer he’s hosting the new celebrity reality singing competition, Sing Your Face Off. In the series, celebrities like Lisa Rinna, Jon Lovitz, Sebastian Bach, China Anne McClain and Landry Fields transform themselves into famous singers like Dolly Parton, Britney Spears, Willie Nelson and Tina Turner and, from what Barrowman told us earlier this week, viewers will be surprised at the results.
We recently spoke with Barrowman about the new show, his upcoming CD and of course Arrow, where he’ll be a series regular this fall.

Does your idea of a great start to the summer include seeing funnyman Jon Lovitz transform into Luciano Pavarotti? Or former Days of Our Lives star Lisa Rinna channeling Dolly Parton with gusto? Or an NBA point guard perform a perfect Pitbull? If it doesn’t, it should. ABC’s new six-episode singing competition Sing Your Face Off features Rinna, Lovitz, Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, 15-year-old Disney star China Anne McClain and Toronto Raptors guard Landry Fields allowing vocal coaches, choreographers and makeup masters transform them into musical icons from across generations and genres — and sometimes genders — to splendidly … Continue reading →

Have you ever wanted to become Whitney Houston, Adam Levine, Kesha, or Kelly Clarkson? Are you already famous? If so, the sky’s the limit on America’s latest singing competition, which debuts this week on ABC.
Sing Your Face Off, a new series based on a reality format that’s popular overseas, will allow stars to morph into their favorite popular musical acts in both style, look, and performance.

"Sing Your Face Off" may seem like a whacked idea for a celebrity-centric reality TV show. Why would anyone want to watch C-list celebrities dress up as music icons (sometimes of the opposite sex) then sing and perform, hoping to avoid elimination? Well, it turns out America has just been slow to get on the crazy train. "Your Face Sounds Familiar," the name of the show in the U.K., has spawned versions in Portugal, Germany, Ukraine, Vietnam and a whole mess of other places. How could we not? Personally, I suspected this brand of loony tunage sounded right up my alley, and I've been looking forward to the show's debut (on Sat. May 31 at 9:00 p.m. on ABC) since visiting the set months ago. Even though most of the cast (which includes Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach, Toronto Raptor Landry Fields, Disney Channel teen China Anne McClain and...

Fans across the globe have been faithfully following John Barrowman through his diverse entertainment career. It was thus with great pleasure that John made such a splash on the scene at San Diego Comic-Con this year. He not only hosted his own panel alongside his sister Carole Barrowman, John also showed up for a surprise appearance at the Arrow panel, participated in numerous autograph signings, and attended all the glitzy parties, including the Entertainment Weekly party hosted at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.
In an exclusive interview, John candidly talked about filming his final scenes on Arrow as The Dark Archer, the complex relationship between Malcolm and Tommy Merlyn, admitted that he and co-star Susanna Thompson intentionally added a bit of flirtation to their characters interactions, and the one criteria John had before signing on to the series last year — namely, he was promised a scene where Stephen Amell would be half-naked.
