Lachey says no lip-syncing on new series

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Singer Nick Lachey says his new U.S. TV series will be an a cappella singing competition between eight groups, all forbidden from lip-syncing.

The former 98 Degrees singer said NBC's "The Sing-Off" will have the groups competing against one another without instruments in a bid to win a Epic Records/Sony Recording contract, People.com reported Friday.

"There is nowhere to hide when you're doing an a cappella song," Lachey told People magazine. "There's no band behind you and dubbing. It's just you. It's just them naked on stage and what they have done to prepare is what will show through in that moment."

The four-night TV competition is to debut Dec. 14.
