This past Tuesday was the much hyped season premiere of Glee. The award winning show that has been red hot over the last year which new storylines, new characters and apparently as updated songbook. So let's take a trip back to Tuesday night and talk about it.
New Characters:
Sunshine Corazon: Damn this girl is tiny and has a majorly powerful voice. Not sure how she would have fit into New Directions anyway so it's actually a surprising change that she is now part of Vocal Adrenaline. (their new coach Dustin Goolsby made an apperance but really didn't really do much but take Sunshine away so I can't say much on him yet.)
Sam: This was a nice changeup. Seeing Finn discover him was hysterical especially if you've seen the pilot where Shue discovered Finn. I'll get into his song a little later but overall I think he's going to be a great addition to the show.
Coach Beiste (pronounced Beast): I have a feeling I'm going to like this woman. She's a bitch but the good kind of bitch. She's tough but weak at the same time. There's no downside to having her on the show and it's nice for Sue to have a new enemy.
Songs:
Empire State of Mind
I was looking forward to this performance all summer. It lived up to the hype and I really enjoyed it. Plus I really want one of those shirts. A great way to remind people this is a musical dramady. Plus it was the start of a run of songs that came out in the past couple of years which was a nice surprise.
Sunshine & Rachel-Telephone
Well if there was any doubt that Charice could sing, this showed it. This was how you use a Gaga song on this show as well. Lea was hysterical during this song, and no offense to the original, this is the first time I've actually understood all the words.
Sam & Artie-Billionaire
Mandy wanted to disown me and Claire during this performance because we were both really enjoying it. This was alot of fun and I just love this song. I also don't care what other people say, Artie rapping is awesome and he pulls it off really well.
Charice-Listen
This was amazing to watch and listen to. It's a shame I have a rule of not downloading songs that aren't sung by ND members (outside of Regionals). It was a great way to show how amazing she is and how much better VA just got.
Rachel-What I Did For Love
This might have been the best way to end this episode. It was like a perfect closing number to a musical. The lead belts out an amazing ballad, we see where everyone's decisions let them to and then set us up for the rest of season. Very well done and great way to go out.

Dancing with the Stars:Goobye to the Hoff (9/21/10)
Well last night was the first elimination of DWTS for the new season, out of my bottom three, the one person I figured that would escape the cut it would have been David Hasselhoff. I mean Margarget Cho was awful and The Situation, yes I know he didn't have enough time to rehearse but still, was terrible.
Cho survived first, and I will quote Mandy on this one "She's got the gay vote!". The Situation people probably felt bad for. That left The Hoff, who went out with class, like always. At least the audience is being upfront and saying that they aren't keeping around the crappy dancers just because we like them as people.
So now that leads to next week's dances, which will be the Jive and Quickstep. Should be a very interseting week.

Dancing with the Stars The Performances (9/20/10)
Well I guess this is going to be my thing on Tuesdays, be the last to watch and comment on DWTS. I have no problem with that as long as I get this up before the results show. Let's get right into it.
(I'm going to go in order of the judges scores in this entry and in future ones.)
Jennifer & Derek (Viennese Waltz-24)
There is only one word to describe this performance...chilling. They performed to These Arms of Mine from Dirty Dancing and all that can be said is wow. If they gave higher scores on week one, this could have gotten a perfect score it was that good. I actually can't wait to watch it again on the results show.
Kyle & Lacey (Cha-Cha-Cha-23)
I definately didn't expect this dance at all. This guy is a total natural. Plus he's young and a VERY quick learner. There should be no reason why he can't go a far way, especially after last night.
Brandy & Maksim (Viennese Waltz-23)
I was actually a little worried about Brandy going into this show. I thought she did a great job, then again she's got alot of history in dancing and performing.
Rick & Cheryl (Viennese Waltz-22)
In showing how I don't watch or follow basketball at all, I didn't even know who Rick Fox was going into this show. But I will say, despite a major height difference, he did a really good job. I hope he sticks around, he can make athletes look really good.
Audrina & Tony (Cha-Cha-Cha-19)
Well I don't watch The Hills or know anything about it or the people involved in it. That being said, this is the first time I've ever seen Audrina Patridge and she is actually good looking. As for the performance, it was a very good start to the show and season. I enjoyed it and knew we were in for a good show after this.
Kurt & Anna (Viennese Waltz-19)
Honestly I thought Kurt was better than the score showed it was. For his first live dance, he did a really good job. He's going to do really this season, I hope he gets a legit chance to shine.
Florence & Corky (Cha-Cha-Cha-19)Going into this, I almost forgot there's alot of people who don't know who Mrs. Brady is. Before I get to the performance, her videos are going to be majorly entertaining because Florence Henderson has a MAJOR potty mouth. Back to the dance, very good for her age. She's definately still got it. She ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
Bristol & Mark (Cha-Cha-Cha-18)
Wow, this was surprising good. She was entertaining and actually an okay dancer. As soon as the shyness wears off, she'll do just fine.
Michael & Chelsie (Viennese Waltz-16)
Well, I guess this could have been worse. Bolton doesn't belong on a dance stage and he won't stay long if he doesn't work on his stiffness.
David & Kym (Cha-Cha-Cha-15)
Ah The Hoff. The old man did better than I expected. Either he's going to stick around because he's The Hoff or because he's drasticly improved. I honestly hope it's the latter. On a side note, what makes him so special that he deserves pyro?!?!?
The Situation & Karina (Cha-Cha-Cha-15)
I guess I will just refer to him the way he was introduced on the dance floor. I really badly wanted him to suck but unfornately for me, I have to be fair. He only had 5 days to learn how to ballroom dance and for that reason I will say he didn't do that bad so despite what I was hoping, he won't be the first one going home this season.
Margaret & Louis (Viennese Waltz-15)
This dance was a JOKE. A total one, I think the judges were being nice not giving her lower scores because she deserved them. She doesn't belong here at all, she doesn't want to be here and it's obvious. If she doesn't go home tonight, I'll be very surprised.

The Apprentice:The Recession Edition
It's ironic that The Apprentice started up on Thursday night with this recession themed season and then pretty much right after the replay aired over the weekend, President Obama officially declared the recession was over. But hey the show is filmed in advance, but it's just weird timing.
Anywho, onto to the new season. I've never watched the original Apprentice when the show first debuted. It just didn't spark my interest at the time and just seemed very over-hyped. I did get into the Celebrity editions over the last couple of years and actually learned alot of business. Now I'm older and am very interested in the corporate world and I figured I'd give this season a shot.
While, much like Big Brother, it's way too early to start analyzing the people on the show and even picking a winner, I can talk about the teams early on. It's guys vs. girls.
First there are the guys, Team Octane. They won the first challenge. I'm not sure if I like these guys yet. They are all so cocky and while some of them I really feel bad for, it might take a while for me to really like any of them.
Then there are the ladies, Team Fortitude. Wow, these women are going to make this show totally worth watching. What a bunch of back-stabbing bitches. First challenge, they hadn't even officially lost yet and they were throwing each other under the bus already. Wow, it's fucking insane.
Definitely a slow start, even though it was a LONG two hour premiere. I will definitely keep up with the season as it continues and hopefully will be able to give better analysis as I get to know the people better.
