Let's get our anesthesia on

I know, I know it's another gLee post but I am SO SO SO excited for this episode! Seriously it's going to be phenomenal! Here's a sneak peak I found on Yahoo! of our girls Santana and Brittany doing "Me Against the Music"

‘Glee’ Does Britney’s ‘Me Against the Music’ @ Yahoo! Video

According to Yahoo!, we can also look forward to performances of "Stronger" (one of my faves), "I'm a slave for you", "Toxic", "Oops" and "Baby One more Time"! If you search the internet you can find audio of the songs on youtube!! Woot! I CAN'T WAIT! Can you?!?!??!

How do you not smile when watching this show? gLee is like the perfect little pick me up for those days when you are down. 

The second season of Fox's hit show premiered last night and if you didn't get a chance to catch it I suggest you drop what you're doing and head on over to Fox.com or hulu right now and get on it! 

The premiere episode started with Jacob's updates on the glee-clubbers' "gay summer" in a hilarious video blog! Highly entertaining and always awesome, he did not disappoint! We got some updates on the characters and some input into the creator's thoughts about the criticism aimed at the show in an intelligent and amusing way! I for one, think Ryan Murphy should consider actually developing Jacob's blog about the glee-clubbers in the same way he is writing Sue Sylvester's biography because I have no doubt that it would be well received by the show's fans!

We also met some new folks at McKinley High tonight including Sunshine, the lil munchkin with the big pipes; Sam, the new quarterback who sings in the shower, and Coach Beiste, a nemesis with heart for the fabulously evil Sue Sylvester. 

Having attended the comic con panel, and read all there is to read about gLee over the summer, I knew these characters were coming and I was not very excited. Especially for the addition of Rachel's nemesis, Sunshine (Charice). I, like Rachel, worried about what it would do to the group dynamic. However, the moment this tiny little girl's mouth opened, i was hooked. Damn, that girl can sing! Her voice is PHENOMEONAL....no wonder Oprah says she's the next big thing! I also loved Coach Beiste (Dot Jones); she's got some hilarious one liners and is a perfect antagonist for Sue!  Sam (Chord Overstreet) seems to be a good addition as well and has a great voice but didn't show us too much to fall in love with just yet!

There were so many things to love about last night's episode so here's a quick list of some of my favorites:

- Mike and Tina. Hello Mike's abs! and Let's talk about hooking up at asian camp.... are you serious? that's amazing.

- The WHOLE bathroom scene with Rachel and Sunshine.... "Oh you don't speak English! You like me sing...you sway in background" hahah I was sad they didn't show that whole song!

- Rachel's overall nuttiness and Lea Michele's overall amazingness! Girl is so talented and I hated Rachel all episode for it until the end!

- The awkward rapping 

- Finn auditioning for the Cheerios. 

- Coach Beiste. She's hard and sensitive at the same time and a great addition to the cast. Sue took it a bit too far, and I think everyone felt a bit bad for her!

- Best performance/song of the night ---- "Listen" by Sunshine. The girl gave me chills. 

- Finn and Rachel's scene at the end. 

Although I enjoyed the awkward rapping as it was hilarious and fun, I think I could do with some more singing and less hip hop songs throughout the rest of the season. I also wish there was a lil more Kurt going around in the opener. He didn't get an emmy nomination for nothing. A little more Mercedes would be nice too.  I'm also wondering is Sunshine really going to Vocal Adrenaline? Having read bloggers and mags all summer, I had no idea! 

 As for my Quips of the night:

"you're all coffee and no omelette" -- Beiste 

"that doesn't make any sense" - Sue 

"Stop the Violence" - Brittany re: Santana/Quinn's fight

"Dude your mouth is huge? How many tennis balls can you fit in there?" - Puck

"I don't know i've never had any balls in my mouth...have you?" - Sam


Next week is what we've all (well i've) been waiting for!! It's Britney/Brittany!!


Two of my favorite things ever together in one hour! I say YES please!! Check the preview below!


   


So what do you think? Did you guys love it? Hate it? What was your favorite performance? and are you as excited as I am for next week's Britney episode!?!?!

We will never forget

A day that changed everything. Never forget those that lost their lives, their families who have suffered and those that serve to protect us that day and every day. God Bless America.

Game On

How good was 'The Return?' 

If you're not watching the Vampire Diaries or have never seen it before, this premiere episode of the second season was definitely THE episode to jump on in. Everything about this episode was phenomenal.... the acting, the writing, the overall hotness of the cast. I was on the edge of my seat practically the entire time. 

The second season opener was full of twists and turns provided by the return of the super hot and super evil, Katherine. She's back and I can't wait to see what she brings with her this season. In addition, this episode featured Bonnie upping her sassiness with Damon, Stefan showing what he's like when he gets really angry (which ps. by the way is HOT), Tyler learning of the Lockwood curse from good ol' Uncle Mason, and SPOILER ALERT ... 

Damon killing Jeremy because his heart was double broken by Katherine and Elena. 

and Katherine smothering Caroline, making her a Vamp since Damon's blood was used to help heal her. 

Major props to the cast for the AMAZING performances they put on in this episode. Nina Dobrev was so excellent, it really seemed like she was two different people. She showed a wide range of skills and I was thoroughly impressed. No lie, I think I have a bit of a girl crush and if she keeps acting the way she did in this episode, she should totally be nominated for something. Ian Somerhalder made my heart melt/break in the scenes when he got a knife through the heart by Katherine/Elena and then BAM! made me so angry when he snapped Jeremy's neck. I've also never liked Paul Wesley more than I did in this episode. He was fantastic when threatening John and speaking with Katherine. The chemistry/tension between these characters/actors doesn't hurt at all either. Did i mention everyone was super hot in this episode?

And before I start bulleting some favorite lines and randomness about the episode, I forgot to mention if there's any scene you should be watching from this episode, It's definitely the almost too hot for TV scene between Katherine and Damon at the Salvatore House. Google it, Youtube it whatever, you won't regret it. 

Favorite Lines 

- "His eyes are SO blue" - Katherine, re: the 'delicious' Matt

- “You hate me huh? That sounds like the beginning of a love story Stefan, Not the end of one” –Katherine

-“Kiss me or Kill me? Which will it be Damon?” We both know you’re only capable of one.” - Katherine 

Well what do you know? All my favorite lines are from the evil Katherine, lol.

Some of my randomness: 

- I'm excited for the werewolf developments with Tyler and Uncle Mason. Should be some good stuff!

- The Elena/Katherine meeting is going to be EPIC. 

- What do you think Damon killing Jeremy is going to do to him? I'm thinking making him a sorta John Gilbert, but less of an ass. 

- Why is Katherine really back? Is she jealous of Elena? Did she really come back for Stefan? Does she want to just screw around? What's her motives? I'm thinking it's highly unlikely she came back just for Stefan. I guess we'll have to wait and see

'Til next time, Game On! 

Hellcats

...and it's here! The first new show of the Fall Season. 'Hellcats' is on the CW and stars Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka (of the former band, Aly and AJ) as cheerleaders hell bent on winning the title to keep the school from canceling their program. Ashley plays Savannah, Captain of the Hellcats who is full of pep and cares about one thing above all others: cheerleading. Aly plays Marti, a pre-law student with a love/hate relationship with her mother that loses her scholarship and needs to find a way to stay in school. A former gymnast, Marti becomes a Hellcat and all is solved. Now she's got to find her way in "A World Full of Strangers" as so the pilot episode is called.

Truth be told, I wasn't going to watch this show at first but as a former cheerleader who loves/misses the sport more than I can say, I was in for nostalgia. The choreography, tumbling and stunting routines in the show are kick ass. Without them, I don't think the show would have the appeal is does.

Despite the predictability of most of the season opener and the less than stellar acting by some of the cast, the show was actually pretty cute. There is definite guilty pleasure potential and if you're into that type of thing or if you love cheerleading, you should definitely check it out!

Some thoughts
- Principal Wood from BtVS is the coach's boyfriend = sweet. DB Woodside is amazing.
- Damn straight Savannah, cheerleaders ARE athletes.
- Obvious romantic complications between the 'new' old football coach and the cheerleading coach.
- I'm calling it now, Dan (Marti's bff) is totally in love with her or will be at some point this season.
- Alice, I love the bitch you love to hate.
- Tom Welling aka Superman is one of the show's executive producers.

Let's give this one a few more episodes and see if it can reach my guilty pleasure status.

For more info on Hellcats head over to the CW where you can watch interviews, full episodes, etc. and catch Hellcats on the CW, Wednesdays at 9.
