The Glee Project: The Day After

I may get this in under the wire. 


Next week's video is up.


I think it's almost as cute as last year's "Sexuality" video. When Aylin mentioned "lesbians," I thought they had paired her up with Lily for the DRAMA! but it seems she's paired with Shanna. I'm not sure who won the challenge though, so I'm going with what one poster over on Television Without Pity said: It was Principal Figgins. 

The Glee Project: I’m a Survivor

Last time on “The Glee Project”: Grant Gustin had nothing to do, so he stopped by to judge the remaining Gleekabes on theatricality. They perform “I Hope I Get It” from “A Chorus Line” and he chooses Ali as the winner. She gets a standout moment in the video, “When I Grow Up.” Her Katy Perry is safe as was Shanna’s Lady Gaga, Bland’s Boy George and Aylin’s Madonna. Michael struggled but his Elvis saved him, leaving the bottom three of Abraham, who struggled to embrace the androgyny of David Bowie; Lily, who didn’t play Cyndi Lauper; and Nellie, who was uncomfortable being sexy as Britney Spears. In the end, Nellie’s insecurity was her downfall and she was sent home. Seven Gleekabes remain, who will go down tonight? Find out!

The Glee Project: The Next Day

Next week's Glee Project video is up on YouTube. 


It's hard to tell who won the challenge. I can't even tell what the video is supposed to be about! 

The Glee Project: Be Careful What You Wish For, Because You Might Just Get It

Last week on “The Glee Project”: It was fearlessness week! The Gleekabes had to rap for the awesome Jane Lynch, who chose Lily to be the challenge winner. The Gleekabes performed a mash up of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” and “One Way or Another” and were way too excited to be hit with slushies. Ali struggled with being hit by the cold concoction due to her condition but braved it like a trooper. She and Lily, a standout in the video, were put on the callback list while Charlie, Aylin and Nellie landed in the bottom 3. Nellie was told to be more outgoing, Aylin was told to remain focused on her competition and Ryan questioned if Charlie could fit in on the Glee set. In the end, the budding romance between Aylin and Charlie suffered a devastating blow when he was eliminated. Eight Gleekabes remain, who is eliminated tonight? Find out!

Lifetime Movie Marathon!

Yes, I watch them. Maybe I should’ve added them to my Guilty Pleasures list. But I only go on marathons once in a blue moon. And these aren’t the Meredith Baxter gets raped type of Lifetime movies. These are more feel-good-romances-probably-made-from-chick-lit-books. 

Brave: A Review

Believe it or not, this is a Pixar film. I say it because we were discussing this with some family friends who had ended up at the same showing as us commented the movie felt more like Disney than Pixar. But it is Pixar and it’s their first female protagonist as well.


So, start up the bagpipes and “Brave” the spoilers.


(Sorry)

The Glee Project: Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Last week on “The Glee Project:” The Gleekabes were tested on their ability to adapt by Kevin McHale (Artie). They had to sing the entirety of “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morrisette and Kevin picked Aylin as the winner. She got a stand out role in the video, “Price Tag” by Jessie J, which no one knew until they arrived at the recording studio. Abraham and Ali struggle in the booth while Mario and Bland struggle on set. The judges struggle with getting Charlie to mesh with the group and Nellie to “pop” in the group. At the reveal, the judges put six people through to perform duets for Ryan Murphy. He chose a bottom three of Abraham, Charlie and Mario before cutting Mario for not taking criticism well. Nine Gleekabes remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

Celtic Thunder Voyage II

It’s Celtic Thunder time again! So, some people may be curious as to why there is a part II to Voyage. Well, Sharon Browne has explained it. And it all boils down to how royalties work in the US. So while the show itself is about two hours, in order to turn a profit, it had to be split into two DVDs. So, we have Voyage II!


This DVD opens with “Song for the Mira,” performed by George Donaldson, Keith Harkin, Neil Byrne, Emmet Cahill and Daniel Furlong. The more I hear the song, the more I like it. This go around, they opt for suits. And I must say they look quite dapper in them. The DVD continues with Neil singing “Hallelujah.” It’s even more haunting then his rendition on “It’s Entertainment” and he sings most of it solo. Keith and Emmet come out to sing the last part with him.

Nostalgia Nook: The Swan Princess

Let’s get one fact straight: This is NOT a Disney movie. It’s often mistaken for one despite the animation style being different. But it’s still understandable.


Why?




Because “The Swan Princess” was released during the Disney Renaissance. And the other studios tried to copy the Disney formula. Princess and prince, songs, funny animal companions=viola! Movie!


So, beware SPOILERS!

The Glee Project: The Day After

Next week's video is out!

I started out thinking Aylin won the homework challenge two weeks in a row, but by the end, I'm now confident that it's Lily Mae. And they definitely took note of Nellie and Bland's chemistry from the last chance performances!

Excited?

The Glee Project: It's Not About the Money

Last time on “The Glee Project": It was sexuality week! And of course that meant a visit from Naya Rivera (Santana Lopez). She chose Charlie as the winner in the homework challenge. But he was all over the set of their mashup of “Moves Like Jagger” and “Milkshake,” annoying Erik. It lands him in the bottom 3 along with Michael and Tyler. After performing for Ryan, it was Tyler who was sent home for not being quite comfortable in his new body yet. Ten Gleekabes remain, who is sent home tonight? Find out!

Branching Out

I've been exploring social media. In case you don't know, which you might not, I'm in the process of writing a book. I blog about it here. My manuscript's first draft is nearing completion and I plan to spend the summer in revision mode. Then I hope to start shopping around for a literary agent. So I'm thinking ahead. Thinking to when I have to market my book. And social media is one of the best ways nowadays. So I'e branched out.
