  • GLEE

    glee

    Glee.

    1. Jubilant delight; joy.
    2. Music A part song scored for three or more usually male and unaccompanied voices that was popular in the 18th century.
    3.A new musical comedy television series on Fox.
     
    So what's the verdict? Is Glee going to be your standard summer filler or something more special?
     
    Personally, I think it's too early to tell. I found the show lackluster at the beginning. It reminded me of those really bad made-for-tv MTV movies (minus 2Gether) with the sort of obvious jokes and stereotypes. However, it definitely picked up at the end. Some of the characters like Terri, Tina, and Puck seem a bit too vapid. The writers should work on expanding Tina's persona at least which I think they will since she's part of the newly established Glee club. Puck is your average jock bully and I'm not buying his "I'll punch your goat face in paawnk" sorta threats.  Also, the female gym teacher is a bit too much and Rachel Berry (play by Lea Michele) is just way too annoying. Still, I feel as though the cast is getting settled on set and hopefully everything will  ultimately work out well.
     
    However, I love Cory Monteith who as the bad boy jock abandons his town's football expectations to follow his passion for singing and performance. He seems like he has a lot of heart and I adore his charming demeanor.. Jayma Mays (Charley from Ugly Betty) assumes the role of Emma and seems to have potential chemistry with Matthew Morrison who plays Will, the swell choral teacher. Moreover, Kevin McHale as witty, quadripelegic,  Arty has tremendous cutiepie appeal. I'm liking some of the characters at least!
     
    The gorgeous and marvelous performance cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" pretty much made up for the dull beginning and now I'm craving more! One thing's for sure --these high schoolers can sing and I hope that their Glee club grows as the show grows! I seriously want to see where this series is heading!
     
    Here is their amazing "Don't Stop Believing" performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UMl9sC5v0A
     
    So, what do you think of Glee? Yay or nay?

  • Stop Being Lame, Kiddos

     

    So basically I keep hearing the song "Leavin'" everywhere I go. It's like Cassie's "Me and U". You get over it and it just keeps coming back. (And, secretly, you're like oh this is a great car jam!).

    I then searched for the song on youtube and saw that Jesse McCartney sings it! What?! The kid from Summerland!? Blond corny "Beautiful Soul" kid sexin' it up? Again, I say, "What?!" (Honestly, I was just as shocked as the time I found out he wrote Leonia Lewis's "Bleeding Heart".)

    Naturally, I wanted to know other people's thoughts on this shocking discovery so I went straight to the comments section of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYMDXK9ZpxQ

    This one comment stood out:

    Guys, your fucking rap shit sucks! I hate it, I want to kill Jesse McCartney he is ugly and a whore. If you want good music, look up Murderdolls or SlipKnot or Suicide Silence. They're real music!!! And by the way, if you want real hott guys, look up Joey Jordison from SlipKnot, The Dro and Dearborn from Deadstar Assembly, or any of the Murderdolls. Damn sexy!
     
    THIS IS NOT A HATE RANT. JUST A RANT. Ha.
     
    And that's when I decided that once and for all I am so over these "emo" or "metallica" or whatever you call these pathetic, wannabe kids coming in and trying to pretend like their music is better. Stop freakin' dressing in black, tattooing your whole, untoned body, cursing on other people's more commercial tastes, and thinking that you are so special and different and legitimate. You're not. You're just another group of people who need to get over themselves. Geeze louise. Suicide Silence? give me a break...melodramatic much? You're all just as corny as everyone else so stop acting like you're all deep and contemplative with your boring-ass "death' music. Murderdolls? Deadstar Assembly?
     
     The only two people who ever made death remotely interesting and important are Jesus and Dumbledore so stop with your recommendations. And why are you looking up videos of Jesse McCartney if top 40 hits drag down your style? Get outta here.
