70	The New York Times The made-in-the-U.S.A. jalopy Singing Bee is much more flawed yet more human and endearing.
70	Variety Stuart Levine Bee has some promise, but the concept has the potential to grow old fast.
70	Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron Bee greets viewers with a set of splashy colors, a house band, house singers and house dancers. It's all very hokey, but there's also something lively and real about it.
70	Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert On The Singing Bee, it's impossible to rally for or against the many folks who hurry on and off stage, and rallying is a critical part of the fun of these mindless game shows.
