Gleeing Over Glee~

The TV show "Glee" premiered last summer after the season finale of American Idol and since then it has become a pandemic for all... it's way more infectious than the H1N1 virus and has captured the heart of audiences worldwide with its charms...

Glee has everything that is needed in a TV show.. humor, romance, sarcasm, chemistry... but most of all - MUSIC!

But unlike the usual musical we have on TV, Glee doesn't have its casts singing their dialogues throughout the episodes (like the HSM franchise) but rather singing during their Glee Club practices and performances. This is probably why Glee is different from other musical comedies...

So.. let's start with the second episode review... please do not read any further if you don't want to be spoiled~

Here are my favorite moments of the second episode - Showmance:

• The part when Kurt says "One day you will all work for me..." and then BAMN... he's being tossed into the huge bin...

• When Mr S screamed at his dining table during Terri's sister's visit... gotta love him~
  

• Sue and Mr S's dialogues :

Sue : Iron tablets?
Mr S : aaaa
Sue : Keep your strength up boy.. you're menstruating
Mr S : (confused) I don't menstruate...
Sue : Yeah? Neither do I...

LOL.. Sue is probably the best protagonist ever!

• I LOVE the "Gold Digger" performance! Mr S can really really dance! And it's hilarious (...and sweet) when Mr S was holding Finn's leg trying to make it move according to the beat because Cory Monteith (the actor who played Finn) admitted that he really can't dance~

• Gotta love the pamphlets in Emma's office

Ouch! That stings!
I can't stop touching myself!
Radon : The Silent Killer
My Mom's Bipolar and She Won't Stop Yelling!
Wow! There's a hair down there! (definitely my personal favorite :P)
So, you like throwing up~

• Finn's first driving experience~

• When Emma helped Mr S with his janitorial works (marry her Schu!)

• The "Push It" performance! Priceless! Followed by Sue's comment "That is the most offensive thing I've seen in 20 years of teaching and that includes an elementary school's production of Hair"

• When Finn kissed Rachel!

• When Sue pwned Quinn:

Sue : We're gonna bring this club down from within...
Quinn : And I'm gonna get my boyfriend back...
Sue : I don't care so much about that~

• Rachel's cover of "Take a Bow"

But there are also parts that I hate in this episode:

• Anything and everything that's got to do with Terri... please please get rid of her!

• Quinn's cover of "Say a Little Prayer"... that cherio can't sing!

So there you have it. My rant of pretty much my loves and hatreds of the second episode... Can't wait for the new episode next week!

GLEEK for live!

Music Obsession Part 4

It's been a while since I've posted some great musics in my blog and I guess it's time to do so again...

So, I was browsing through Youtube again the other day and I believed I've found a treasure! A channel called KurtHugoSchneider is probably one of the best original music channel in Youtube. It's a collaborations of four Yale's arts students who direct, arrange and composed musics on their own. Should I add that they also have MAJOR singing talent which will blow your mind away.

The main soloist is Sam Tsui who is a member of Yale's a cappella group that won this year's ICCA. Though he looked pretty g** but I'm totally obsessed with his voice. He has these amazing range that will melt your heart away.

Here's a prove of Sam at his best... (the mind blowing arrangement is by his friend Kurt Schneider)

Another great arrangement and vocal performance by Sam and Kurt (really reminds me of Glee)

And here are some of Sam's best covers:

And to top it all... Kurt is also doing his directing project on a mini Youtube series called "College Musical"... very HSM but with better vocals... here's the first episode:

I really hope you like my post this time and if you do please show your support by subscribing to the channel on Youtube...

Signing out for now~
