and I’m heading to the land of warmth, familiarity and dreams! Always feel this way after my Wednesday nightcap of GLEE. How epic was the poker face rendition? And I discovered today (coz I’m not at all familiar with the Broadway scene) that Idina Menzel is married to Taye Diggs. Some women do have it all!! (:
Grey’s Anatomy. Guys, I am dying over here. I need to talk about this. How can you NOT talk about this? Deevina, Natasha, BELINDA!!, ANY GREY’S FAN ANYWHERE all I want to do post-finale is sit down in a coffeeshop and go through every detail meticulously and discuss how amazing it was. I want to…
I’d started writing my own summary of Grey’s season finalise but words failed me. I’m a mess. I’m lucky enough to say I’ve never felt real pain, real sorrow in my life. Feeling so lost, lonely and see no way out. No terrible deaths or any such tragedy. The closest I’ve come was witnessing my brother get KO’d and go into a seazure and being mistakenly told my mum was a fatality in an car accident. It’s feeling of shock at the core of your very being. I digress….
I guess what I’m trying to say is that the Season 6 finale was one of the finest I’ve seen on any TV show. There was a perfect harmony of plot, acting and incredible maturity in the writing and directing. I expected a typical cliff-hanger, easy for the writer and viewers - who will live? who will he choose? You know the usual sort of thing, irritating and indulgant. No, Shonda Rhimes stepped up to the occassion and delivered a hauting masterpiece. Bravo! I will forever be a fan.
Picking 5 songs is almost impossible. When it comes to music I appreciate variety and I listen to different genres depending on my mood. For this exercise though, I figured I’d need something that always puts a smile on my face…oui? So in no particular order:
- Bohemian Rhapsody - Lauryn Hill cover
- The Way You Make Me Feel - Michael Jackson
- September - Earth, Wind and Fire
- My Love ft T.I - Justin Timberlake
- Keep Holding On - Avril Lavigne
Wow…random isn’t it? What would yours be?
but I don’t know any other show where cast members are required to sing AND record AND - sometimes - be choreographed to dance to three to five songs an episode. It’s hard enough to come up with a script for an entire 45-minute (without commercials) show. But for the producers to also have to…
You guys should all go read this. Very well put.
B.o.B. - The Kids (ft. Janelle Monae)
“We’re trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hand
We’re filled with so much hatred
The kids don’t stand a chance”
Some of the few i’m willing to own up to:
- trashy reality TV - Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives series, NYC Prep, SYTYCD…
- dancing to a tune on my ipod as i walk (in public).
- a good book - in the right mood i’d pick it over sex.
- brussels sprouts
- Trey Songz
