Watching ‘The Voice’ Finale on Fast Forward
I was so busy watching Mary Murphy have a mouthgasm on So You Think You Can Dance that I forgot to watch The Voice finale — but perhaps that’s a good thing. Watching finale episodes of any reality competition on fast-forward is much more efficient. Here is a bullet-pointed re-cap which allowed me to watch...
Snap Judgments: A Queen Medley by ‘The Voice’ Coaches
The coaches of The Voice sang a Queen medley last night. And I made snap judgments. Here they are: - The more I see Adam Levine, the more I realize the need to reiterate the fact that he looks like a Filipino version of me. - Excellent use of Who Wants to be a Millionaire...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Fighter’ by Christina Aguilera
I don’t know if it’s The Voice or the fact that I have an unhealthy “Genie in a Bottle” tween obsession for Christina Aguilera, but she has been making a frequent appearance on my iPod shuffle during my workouts as of late. First, it was her sugary sweet “Come on Over,” now it’s her “fuck-you-I-will-never-give-up”...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Come on Over’ by Christina Aguilera
Don’t act like you didn’t (and still do) jam out to this song — especially during that fast-talking breakdown and the video that included red highlights, exposed navels and had the vibe of a Sprite/Target commercial. Also, I think I have a hankering for a lot of Christina Aguilera in my life because of The...
Three Things That Require Your Attention: ‘The Voice,’ ‘Hesher,’ and Michael Scott’s Farewell
I really could care less about the actual Royal Wedding — but I do care about adding a Kate/William commemorative plate to my collection. Nonetheless, here are a couple of things that I do care about — and you should to: The Voice: Question — Who in the hell needs another vocal competition show? Answer–...
Geist Infection: The United States National Anthem
Everybody has been dragging Christina Aguilera‘s name through the mud because of the glaring flub she made while singing the United States National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Actually, I didn’t notice the mistake. I was too busy stuffing my face full of food and telling my friends how I sing the National Anthem in...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Miss Independent’ by Kelly Clarkson
Any pop rock song by the O.G. American Idol, Kelly Clarkson gets my adrenaline going, but this week I am pulling out her first single, “Miss Independent” out of the archives to help me get through my morning workouts — and here’s a fun fact about KC’s “you-go-girl!” anthem: it was co-written by Christina Aguilera...
‘Burlesque’: A Musical with Tons of Skin, Gyrating Hips and Diva Cheese
Within minutes of the opening credits of Burlesque, we are introduced to Ali, a small-town country gal from Iowa. She works at a dive bar. She dreams of being a singer. She dreams of being a dancer. So what does she do? She quits her job at the bar and packs up her bag and...
Finally! It’s the Official ‘Burlesque’ Trailer
So much has happened since my last post. I bought two Ralph Lauren Black Label shirts from the Barneys Warehouse Sale, I’ve taken my first Muay Thai class, Prop 8 got overturned, and I need to do laundry. My excuse for not posting? I don’t have one. What better way to get back into my...
Running into Christina Aguilera before a ‘Toy Story 3′ Screening
After work, I planned to do the following (in sequential order): 1.) Grab a quick dinner consisting of rice crackers and a Cliff Bar at Bristol Farms in the SF Centre. 2.) Go to Bloomingdale’s and ponder whether or not to buy a certain Comme des Garçons shirt that has been on sale. Actually, I...
Christina Aguilera: ‘Not Myself Tonight’ Video Premiere
Out of all the pop princesses produced in the Golden Age of the Late ’90s/Early 21st Century Pop, Christina Aguilera shall forever have a special place in my heart. She has always rubbed me the right way. That said, I am quite excited that the little body with the huge voice is slinking her way...
Oh Christina, We Have Missed You So
I know I am late on this bit of info – almost a week late to be exact. Christina Aguilera’s new album, Bi-on-ic comes out in June, but we got treated to her new single, “Not Myself Tonight”, which has a pulse of common electronic snares, blips and beeps – but then X-tina’s soulful bazooka...
