What Song Should I Sing for My ‘Glee’ Audition?
You would think that I would be constantly blogging about Glee considering the season premiere is on Tuesday (it runs into Lost – thank the heavens for DVR) – but I think there is enough coverage on the phenomenon. In fact, the coverage and hype may be borderline overkill – but that’s a totally different...
Billboard Night on ‘American Idol’ was like a Painful Bowel Movement
The top 11 get guidance from Miley Cyrus Maybe the title of this post was a little harsh. Tonight’s episode wasn’t like a painful bowel movement at all. It was just painful. I finally figured out what the contestants mean when they say, “I just wanted to have fun tonight.” That means they were drunk...
SXSW Adventures: Talib Kweli Goes A capella
At Digiwaxx’s SXSW event “The Blast” at The Ranch, Talib Kweli, as expected, tore it up – but when the venue shut the sound off, he just kept on going like a no one’s business:
SXSW here I come!
Even though I wish I was there for the interactive and film festivals, I am headed to Austin tomorrow for a little South by Southwest action. Translation: I am going to Austin to get fat. I tend to plan my trips to Texas based solely on food: Hula Hut, Taco Cabana, Kerbey Lane, Chuy’s, Pappadeaux,...
The better ‘We Are the World’ remake
I really appreciated the We Are the World remake by all those famous people. Their heart was in the right place and it was for a great cause and I am glad it helped the Haiti victims. But let’s be honest – it wasn’t great. It was an unnecessary remake that wasn’t that pleasant to...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘You Want This’ by Janet Jackson
Yes, that was MC Lyte (I think). There’s nothing like running along the Embarcadero whilst listening to a genuine ’90s midriff exposing, gyrating jam – especially if it’s sung by the sultry, breathy whisper of Janet Jackson.
Thursday’s high-energy dance break
It’s Thursday. It’s almost 2 p.m. you know what that means – it’s time for a high-energy dance break. This high-energy dance break was brought to you by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, DJ Dan, and of course, Zaid.
Let the search for glee club members begin!
Photo credit: Carin Baer/FOX Yes, I have made it official. I am trying to start a Glee club in San Francisco for a three-part story I am working on for The Bold Italic – and I have put up an ad on Craigslist: Looking to start a SF-based Glee club (San Francisco) I am a...
Better to be ‘Crazy’ and ‘Up’ than an ‘Avatar’
Cher and Christina Aguilera made it hot onstage as they presented globes (in more ways than one) for Best Original Score and Original Song. In this image released by NBC, presenters Cher, left, and Christina Aguilera are shown on stage during the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards. They look really excited to be there. (AP...
Spreading the ‘Party’ virus
Nevermind swine flu, I caught a major case of this: This song has been in my head from the moment Kim drooled the words out of her mouth a couple of episodes ago. It’s infecting me like H1N1. I feel disgusted at the fact that I actually sing along to this song, let alone watch...
The battle of the Fames
Tonight, I was treated to a screening of the new Fame movie and although I would like to share my thoughts about yet another Hollywood “reinvention,” I’ll save it for Friday. In the meantime, there is one song in the film that echoes my head: “On My Own”. Not only have I made a mental...
Britney does Alanis
…but not in the way you think. Britney Spears did a cover of the ultimate femme relationship revenge anthem by Alanis Morisette, “You Oughta Know” in a recent concert in Greensboro. I didn’t even know she was still touring. I kind of don’t care either. But apparently I care enough to post this video of...
