Top 4: Songs From Glee (Part 2)

In honor of Glee’s win at the Golden Globe Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards, here is the second list of the best songs from the first season of Glee.

4. On My Own  - This song is one of the most memorable songs from Les Miserables and everyone who’s given a chance to sing this will surely shine, so Lea Michelle is very lucky to have given that chance. I like Lea Salonga’s version better but the other Lea did a good job as well; I like her performance, aside from the way she pronounced “Happiness” at the end of the song.

3. I Say A Little Prayer – What would a blond cheerleader who is the President of the Christ Crusaders (aka Celibacy Club) sing in an audition? Something to do with Prayers of course, match this performance with two backup dancers /singers (ala Beyonce), add an awesome choreography, and you’ll have an instant classic. This performance also got a lot of very funny parodies.

2. It’s My Life / Confessions Pt II – This is the mash-up song for the guys, the counterpart of the girl's mash-up of Halo and Walking on Sunshine. This is the best group performance by the guys to date.  The two songs mashed up brilliantly. I personally think that mashed-up songs are what separated Glee from the rest of mediocre musicals. It’s a very great idea and I wish they would do it again on the new season.

1. My Life Would Suck Without You – The finale song, Glee is very good on using songs that have lyrics that completely matches or summaries the whole situation and can merge down a million lines of dialogues into one song.  I can’t think of any song that can be best used to end the first season and can match that big kiss. It’s perfect, just PERFECT!

I can’t wait for the new season to premiere.

Oh Glee, my life would definitely suck without you.

The Cast of Glee on The Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet

There's an unexplainable feeling when you see your favorite TV character look very dolled up and different on the red carpet for the first time. Especially when they do interviews, you still feel like it's the character who's talking even though you know to yourself that it's not.

Top 4: Most Memorable 2009 Moments in Pinoy INTERVIEWS

4. TV Patrol's Interview with Hayden Kho's Mother - maganda ang intention ng interview, Hayden's camp wanted to clean Hayden's image and gain sympathy by showing that he was raised by a very religious mother who's suffering because people are judging her son by the Sex Videos he made. They made sure that they were able to show how religious Mrs. Irene Kho is, by showing a Groto in the background and making her hold a Rosary and quote the Bible.

 However, they were a lot of things that drew people's attention away from the message that they were trying to send, isa na dun ay ang paulit-ulit na re-assurance ni Mrs. Kho na "ayaw na niyang magsalita", when in fact, Karen Davilla even needs to call her attention several times before she would stop talking and let Karen ask her a question. Also,  Mrs. Kho had her eyes close thoughout the interview, which made people think that she was just sleep talking. The inteview just added damage to Hayden's image and ended up having Hayden do an interview to explain what his Mother did.


3. Carlo J. Caparas with Che Che Lazaro - "Comics King" Carlo Caparas wanted to defend his National Artist Award for Visual Arts and Films by going on Che Che Lazaro's show and having a debate with Alex Tioseco and Dr. Jose Dalisay Jr.. His points was clear, dapat daw siyang maging National Artst for VISUAL ARTS and FILM dahil kilala ang kanyang mga obra sa buong bansa at dahil marunong daw siya gumuhit (which he proved by bringing his illustrations with him).

 But Mr. Caparas made the interview so personal by turning the issue back to him and by throwing personal attacks to the other guests. He even made it worst by defending the President from her ditractors, and by bashing the Elite society (some of which are his neighbors on their home in Ayala Alabang) and claiming that he passed the NCCA screening, which he did not. The conferment of the Natl Artists Award for Carlo and 6 others was blocked by the Supreme Court last August.

This song is really nice. I know some would say It's jologs and all, but I won't deny the fact that I'm having LSS  everytime I listen to it. Ah haha. I know you'll like it too.

TV: Glee Is Surprisingly Addictive

What I thought was just another tv show with a bunch of stereotypical teenagers singing together about their lousy love lives turned out to be a tv show about a bunch of stereotypical teenagers singing great music together about their lives. It's like Amercian Idol / MTV with a scripted storyline. (Not that Americna Idol isn't scripted)

The music is just fantastic, the moves, the costumes, the perfomances, just, brilliant! It makes watching television exciting again.  The show's  idea of using modern songs and turning it to a broadway production number, like their rendition of"Mercy" by Duffy, gives it a classic appeal that seperate it from being another "High School Musical" wannabe. And the idea of mashing up old music with new songs like that Halo + I'm Walking On Sunshine number,  avoids it from being another crappy teenage music video from youtube.

TV: Blair Waldorf Is Dead

After 3 seasons of gossips, glamour and greatness, the girl who made the headband an acceptable fashion item has officially past away. Yes, the Queen Bee from the Upper East Side is now just a legacy. Well, atleast that's how I see it after watching the first few episodes of Gossip Girl's latest season. 

Now that she's in college, Blair has lost her power, her influence,  and even her fashion sense (what's with the yellow granny look?)

TV: Katherine Heigl making love with a ghost on Grey's Anatomy

Before anything else, let me just say that Grey's Anatomy is one of my favorite TV show ever, and that is the reason why I borrowed the Season 5 DVD from my friend and watched it the whole weekend. And also, eversince, Izzie has been my favorite character on the show. I love her storyline, that whole "pink-gown-drama" still makes me cry everytime I watch it. But I have to say, I'm not too crazy about this season's "seeing-a-ghost-and-making-love-with-it-drama", actually, I hate it!

What in the world are those writers thinking? that is totally not called for! Why? Just why do you have to write that? Give me just one good reason please. Just one.
