Don't Stop.....BELIEVING!
Well it's time. I've held back as much as I possibly can but I am just Gleeking all over the place! If you haven't heard me go on and on yet or been annoyed by me singing mash up after mash up, or actually compared the characters to real life, or talked about my real life party time run in with my fav Chris Colfer.......well then where the hell have you been people. I'll admit it. I'm a tad bit OBSESSED with Glee. Now this addiction didn't start off with me actually wanting to watch the show. It started off with one of my friends making me watch the show and after that it was love at 1st scene.
SPOILER ALERT!!!(if you haven't watched or purchased the DVD's for Road to Sectionals, please do so and return back later.)
Just to make this a tiny bit easier, I will use character names only, minus guest appearances.
Synopsis is basic. It's about a Glee club and the bumps and turns on their road to the Sectional Competition. Two teachers are mainly focused on. The Glee coach-Will Scuster and the Cheerios coach-Sue Sylvester. FYI-Cheerios stands for Cheerleaders. Believe me you'll learn to love it. I make many references to peoples past who used to cheer as cheerios now. It's way cool if you think about it. Both are absolutely outstanding in their roles. I will also mention my favorite supporting grown up actress-Emma Pillsbury. She has extreme OCD and is secretly in love with Will.
Now to the Gleesters!!!! Let's begin with the phenomenal Rachel Berry. Girl can sing. Like she has given me goosebumps and tears before. She's anal, annoying, and WILL be a star one day. She wakes up to walking on sunshine every morning, does elliptical before school, all while staring at a photo of a Grammy award. You'll learn to love her.
Then there are Quinn Fabray and Finn Hudson. Quinn was head Cheerio until Sue found out she was preggers and kicked her ass off the squad. Finn is the HS quarterback but loves Glee club more than anything. He believed that he and Quinn got pregnant by making out in a hottub one night his sperm swam all the way into her vagina making Quinn basically a virgin mary. He's VERY dumb but so dumb its cute. And he is the lead singer in the Glee club along with Rachel......who is also in love with Finn. Which leads me to my next character, Kurt Hummel. Who is also in love with Finn. Finn's just that popular nice super cool high school dude that everyone loves. But his heart was with Quinn forever until he found out not only does sperm not swim in hot tub water and impregnate, he also found out that he's not even that baby's daddy! Puck is!!
Noah Puckerman aka Puck is Quinns super secret baby's daddy. Ok here's where I just want to add one thing. Dear Mark Sailling, I follow you on Twitter and you seem cool. I'm majorly attracted to you. I dig your mohawk and your sexy voice. I'm coming to LA in April and I tend to always get super lucky so I wouldn't be surprised if I was invited to visit the closed set. can't wait to meet you. xxx, S. OKAY.......and were back.
Let's move on to what makes this one of my favorite shows ever. If you know me or even if you don't, you can probably get the vibe that I dig singing and dancing as soon as I walk in the door. Musicals are the best things ever invented I believe and can truly brighten up anyones day. I promise! Now on an hour long episode of Glee, you are bound to run into 3-5 performances. From solo's to the whole glee club to the teachers. ITS FABULOUS! Yes, they may sing a few songs from Broadway hits(favorite being Rachel and Kurts duet to Defying Gravity from Wicked) but a lot of the music is more recent. More pop radio. It's actually brilliant what they've done. What they have done is what you call a "mash up." This is where you take two songs, mix them together, and there you have it people.....a mash up! Below are a list of my favorite Mash Ups and Songs preformed by the Glee Cast:
Halo/Walking on Sunshine
Don't Stop Believing
Imagine
Defying Gravity
Smile(Lily Allen cover)
Endless Love
Don't Rain on my Parade
My Life Would Suck Without You
It's my Life/Confessions Part II
You Keep Me Hangin' On
Talk A Bow
Keep Holding On
Thing Song/I Could Have Danced All Night
On My Own
**These are all available for purchase of iTunes or you can also listen to them on YouTube.
These are just to name a few. Basically if you love music you will LOVE this show. It's just one of those special things that only comes along every so often so I hope everyone is enjoying it. And basically, my friend Chris and I were speaking about this, this is THE dream job. Even though you go through many costume changes with all the Slushie Facials you receive hahaha. You'll learn the lingo.
Now everyone and their mother wants to guest star......why you ask. Because it's just that great! Last season we had a few guest start but the best being Kristen Chenoweth. She's amazing and soo sweet. You may know her by being the original Galinda from Wicked. Well to end the season we have several appearances I hear from the amazing Idina Menzel. Yoiu may know her from being the original Maureen(RENT) and the original Elphaba(Wicked). Now to who I wrote this blog......well besides to share my joy and make sure EVERYONE will be watching the Road to Reginals beginning in April, is to announce that someone who I just cannot stand for some reason. I don't think I'll ever know why. Has joined the Glee cast. Molly Shannon. I don't know what it is but I just can't stomach her. I don't find her funny and I just find her annoying. How is she supposed to fit in with this cast of genius'??? Can she even sing or dance!!! Hello, main requirement! UGH! My little T. Swizzle has admitted she is dying to get on the show too so lets hope that happens.
So I've only met one cast member so far and I had a complete blast with him and that Chris Colfer. Spent a night partying it up in NYC with him. Just adorable.....and such a diva! He even got to see my Slave 4 U.
I hope that was a good synopsis to catch you up for April or to convince you, if you have watched to go my Road to Sectionals. Be a gleek. I swear it's cool.
Peace, Love, & Music
S
BTW I make Glee CD's for my car, my house, and my mother. And yes....Glee and The Fame Monster are all I'm listening to currently. I suggest you do the same.
