The Killers + Dianna Agron = PERFECTION!

This newly released video is simply PERFECTION! Dianna Agron is flawless! and since she is not gracing us with her presence on Glee, at least we get to see her in movies, and now in this brilliant video for the song "Just Another Girl."

Dianna reprises the role of Brandon Flowers throughout many of old The Killers videos, the result is simplistic, yet quite catchy.

Check it out!

I was here...I lived, I loved…I was here...

This post is not intended to be about how Cory Monteith died of an overdose, his drug abuse or any of that, there are plenty of those repetitive posts floating around the internet.

I, like many of you out there, consider myself a “gleek.” From the very first episode, I was the girl glued to my TV every Tuesday (now Thursday) night, to follow the incredible & brilliantly written series. I remember falling in love with Finn, with his quirky, yet naive persona- like how he got Quinn “pregnant”, or how Mr. Schuester  bribed him to get into the glee club… And, who can forget during Regionals season 1, how him and Rachel killed that rendition of "Faithfully" & "Don’t Stop Believing"…oh man, I can write for hours about the many moments that made Finn the core of the show.


I was in total shock when I read the news, it had to be a joke, a hoax, and it simply couldn’t be true. And, here we are, according to reports, his body has already been cremated.

Call me crazy, but I have been listening to Glee music non-stop since Saturday night. I have been paying particular attention to certain songs, which at the time when they were first performed, were amazing, but, now have taken on a whole different meaning. I catch myself getting teary eyed as I sing along to each track, thinking how surreal it is that each of the specific tracks I am going to share with you, is about death, the farewell of a loved one, a goodbye. I simply cannot imagine how difficult it is going to be for the cast to go back to the set, heartbroken, devastated, and missing a crucial puzzle of their family.

There were so many tweets that I came across with the hashtag #RIPCoryMonteith, some exaggerated, and perhaps out of line, and others sincere & heartfelt, and even the ones that although eerie, made perfect sense. Like the one from the scene when Finn presents Rachel with a star, or the very last scene from season 4 where he is on the phone with Rachel, or the saddest of them all, someone on twitter realized that the first song Cory ever performed as Finn was "Don’t Stop Believing", and how it was also his last… call it an ironic coincidence, at the end of the day it still makes us (his fans) extremely sad.

It is unfortunate that it didn’t matter the fantastic and loving support behind him, ultimately, Cory simply could not overcome the demon that is being an addict.

Cory Monteith is gone, but his brief career lives on, generations from now, people will remember the show Glee, his character Finn, and the Finchel love story.

Come Back To Me Glee!



It has only been a few days, and I am already going through MAJOR Glee withdrawals! So much so, that when I decided to listen to The Graduation Album; I just could not listen to the song Roots Before Branches without getting emotional (do not get me started about Finchel breaking up!)

Ryan Murphy and the rest of the Glee crew managed to keep all of us Gleeks at the edge of our seats. I refused to read ANY spoilers and patiently waited for the season finale to air. And oh boy! I was in for a huge shocker! Let’s talk about Kurt not getting into NYADA and Finn not getting into the Actor’s Studio, much unexpected and beyond heart-breaking!

And the biggest, saddest, heart-breaking and unexpected moment of the finale…….. Finn’s decision to join the Army, and send Rachel off to New York to pursue her dream. Rachel’s perseverance paid off, and for Season 4, we will get to see Ms. Berry take NYADA by storm. I don’t know about you, but that scene of Finchel in the car took me back to my high school years - to that time when you broke things off with your first love, and I got teary-eyed. Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) is able to convey such a believable heart-breaking moment, all of the crying as she sings Roots Before Branches alongside a very sad Finn.




As with every season finale; I will find myself occupied all Summer and will patiently wait till Glee Season 4 returns, wonder what the new season has in store for us Gleeks? I am looking forward to some amazing solos by Darren Criss (Blaine), perhaps the return of The Warblers with Sebastian. Or, can you imagine the twist if Jesse Saint James somehow manages to move to New York and there is a romantic encounter with Rachel? No, actually, I hope Finn reconsiders and does not join the Army and instead follows Rachel to New York. And, I also look forward to Schuester & Emma’s wedding, the birth of Sue Sylvester’s baby and possibly new students joining the Glee Club.

Well Gleeks sit tight because season 4 is scheduled to return in the Fall, but no specific date has been confirmed yet.

It’s Glee Bitch!

I don’t watch that much TV, mostly because all you see are stupid “reality” shows. When the show Glee started I was a bit hesitant about it. In the back of my head I thought it was going to be an awful-singing-cheeseball-galore, but episode after episode I was proven wrong and slowly but surely I became a Gleek.

When the Lady Gaga episode rolled around I was intrigued beyond words but unfortunately was disappointed. The Madonna episode left me speechless so you will probably imagine how anxious I got when it was announced that they were planning a Britney episode.

Well, tonight came and I was glued to my couch, nothing (not even the million chores I had to do) was going to prevent me from enjoying this episode. I have been a fan of Ms. Spears
  since her “Baby One More Time” days, since her teenage love with Mr. Timberlake. I watched the VMA’s as she performed I’m A Slave For You and dreamt of one day having those rock hard abs. I also watched her shave her head, break a windshield with an umbrella, her “failed” comeback at the VMA’s, her actual comeback at the VMA’s and her very successful Circus tour (which gave me the inspiration for my Halloween costume last year [ring leader anyone?])

 

I must say this episode was AMAZING! From actress Heather Morris’ (Brittany) rendition of I’m A Slave for you, which was pretty damn good, the awesome Me Against The Music, the very cute glee-dition of Stronger courtesy of Artie & McKinley’s football team and Baby One More Time (did Ryan Murphy hired the same people who worked on the original video to work on this one?) And last but not least the song Toxic, my gosh! Matthew Morrison has such a fantastic voice (Broadway talent at its finest.)

Glee has to gimme more, gimme, gimme more! This season is definitely shaping to be a fabulous one!  Any guesses as to what artist will the show play homage for the episode which will air after the Super Bowl?
