'CAUSE YOU ASK FOR IT: Via commenter Saray comes word that Sara Bareilles will replace Nicole Scherzinger this fall on The Sing-Off's judging panel. My only experience with Bareilles-as-personality was her between-song patter and general goofiness at Philadelphia's July 4 concert this month ... and this girl's got spunk.

Saray adds: "For what it's worth, everyone in the a cappella world is rejoicing. When the discussion began in the community about a replacement, Sara Bareilles was everyone's first choice - she's thoughtful and talented, and has a background in a cappella (she performed in UCLA Awaken while she was in college)."
