Glee - Rumor Has It (Mash Off episode)

Good way for Glee to shake things up a little bit by performing this mash up inspired by Adele's hits: Rumor Has It/Someoone like you.



I think the Troubletones are actually a lot better!.. or maybe I'm just tired of the New Directions usual format :)

Cutest John Lloyd commercial ever

Ang cute!!!!!!!!!!

Has Glee become dull?

Hi there TV show fanatics.
I am a Glee fan, but what the heck has the show been trying to prove lately?

I'm feeling a little bit sad about the show, recently. It has become boring, a drag... Kurt (Chris Colfer) used to have gotten a Golden Globe cause he was such a great performer and comedian. Now, the Glee writers have turned him into such a pessimistic whiner. It would've not been a problem if, while whining, he was still funny but he's not. The last time he was funny was the Alcohol episode when he didn't drink because he "didn't want to look sloppy". Also, this second season, we've long anticipated his on-screen kiss with Blaine ( Darren Criss). And when it did happen, I didn't feel the love connection between the two back when they sang Baby It's Cold Outside. After the kiss in the last episode, only surprise registered on Kurt's face and probably some relief. Not love, tsk tsk tsk, not love.

Sue Sylvester, used to say the funniest of lines, but the writers, I think, are trying too hard to pull off wisecracking dialogues that she has stopped being hilarious as she has once used to be. Nowadays, she's just a generic antagonist. Where was the old Sue? Where is she? The Sue who was funny. Most especially the Sue with feelings. The Sue who showed heart when she visited her older sister at the specialty care hospital and felt sympathy for Becky. Please bring her back. Sue's losing streak started  on the Glee Christmas episode when she was the Grinch and stole christmas presents. That particular episode was so cheesy and not touching at all. I mean being a grinch? Even painting her face green? I just dont know what to make of her that episode. Well, that kind of was forgivable. So I tried watching on, then, there she is again on the episode where she and her Cheerios lost the Regional Cheerleading competition. She began to look and sound like a wisecracking, unfunny, whiner. Then came the episode of the Regionals where she became the coach of Oral Intensity, a competitor of the New Directions. When the winners were announced, Sue punched the announcer! What for?!?! I dont know how that makes anything funny. I dont know what to think. What were the writers trying to make us feel? To be honest, I just dont know anymore.

Ms. Schue this second season, always, ALWAYS, gets angry and shouts at one point or another. He would shout "Enough guys!" "STOP!". Mr. Schuester, the writers decided, will be temperamental this time around. The first season, he was such an inspiration though we all felt sorry about the way his wife treated him. He was so nice, had a clean heart that always inspires the glee kids to push through. Now all that has changed with his new temper.

Recently, at the New Directions Regionals winning episode, I felt good about the story development and that finally the glee club was going straight to Nationals. But the truth is, their original song, Loser Like Me, was too early-2000-pop-song for me. It was not that good. The glee club was searching for a theme song that was epic so one would expect it would be more in the category somewhere near "Sing" by My Chemical Romance. But it wasn't. They made us raise our expectations too much and their performance in the Regionals just fell flat. Of course, Loser Like Me would win any day over the "religious" number Oral Intensity sang. At least that was funny. Then again, how on earth could their original song be better than when they lost at the 1st season regionals? They sang a Journey Medley for crying out loud. And the choreography was a lot better. Please watch the vid attached. 

Now, don't get me started about the Glee couples. I used to vouch for Rachel and Finn. Sam and Quinn were okay too. Then when the new development started and Finn & Quinn started to have feelings for each other again, I kind of liked the idea, as well. It gives the show excitement. But now Finn, Quinn, Sam, Santana, Puck, Rachel (love hexagon, seriously!) have all  become couples and interchanged partners too many times the whole season that I think I speak for most fans who do not understand anymore who will end up with who. Like I'm starting not to care any longer who would be anyone's next love interest cause the writers will probably change their minds again. At one episode, Finn likes Quinn. And Quinn likes him, and now Finn is starting to feel something again for Rachel. At another episode Quinn kinda still as feelings for Sam who was stolen by Santana then suddenly in the next episode, has her full attention to Finn. In the Valentine's Day episode, Puck falls in love with Lauren Zizes, then in the Alcohol episode, flirts with Rachel like the whole character change in the Valentines episode was forgotten. Dang, it's so confusing!

Come on, writers. I think it's time that you all start talking about the direction that you want the characters to follow, not confuse us each episode. It's like they don't communicate with each other about what the story developments would be. One writer just writes this episode and another writer writes the next without regard to how the first one was created. Glee has just become the most confusing show on earth.

But in the end, I still have high hopes for Glee. I loved how the story developed in the first season, how the characters began to be more relatable each time. I love the performances, how the songs were mixed with each other (e.g. Walking on Sunshine/Halo). I love the special episodes when they had themes, like the Madonna, Britney and Lady Gaga episodes. I love how the show makes me feel as I anticipate each episode and watch it for the first time. I truly still love Glee and I hope against hope that it rises out of its losing streak.

Have a good night,
Kcat

Best of the best in Showtime.. Please watch!!!

Nothing beats Pinoy talent in this emotion-stirring gymnastics routine featured in Showtime..
World class! To think that they're just students in highschool and elementary :) wow

Glee - Teenage Dreams episode could be it's best, ever?

This scene almost made me cry. Yay for Kurt and every girl out there who dreams to find the perfect guy and found him...




And i love this mashup of the girls too !!! these girls are pro rockstars. theyre awesome

Glee is inTOXICating!

Oh the pure geniusness of Glee! Who knew Toxic would sound so good!!! I mean it was sung by a guy and a whole choir.. so utterly amazing.http://img833.imageshack.us/i/gleetoxicofficialful.mp4/

The Glee premiere is just absolutely amazing!

The music is great, the story is well thought of, but I guess I'll look for more heart and more connected storylines in the following episodes. Oh, kurt looks so cute and so does finn, and lea michele got hotter, and of course, our Pinoy pride, Charice is such a stand out. I can honestly say that she was the best singer in the bunch.

ANYWAYS!!! I just have to share the 2 greatest vids from the first episode before they get taken down by youtube. :) :) have fun watching!!!

Kcatwoman's favorite TV shows to date

Some of the awesomest shows of all time. 

1. Glee

--Quinn's baby is finally born, Idina Menzel is in the show, and Sue Sylvester just can't stop being funny. What's more, New Directions gets to have another year to perform. I just can't wait for season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More lady gaga please.

***

2. Keeping up with the Kardashians 
-- such a guilty pleasure. I cant help but be in love with the Kardashian sisters beauty, style and humor. Most people say that reality shows are nonsense but their close family relationships may even be more ideal than ours. So don't judge and hate them just because they are beautiful, rich and famous.

***

3. Wipeout
-- I am always LOL when I see those "big, red balls". Contestants cant help but fall for them.

Good times.. good times..

***

4. Mad Men
-- this hit drama series has won multiple awards already. I guess most Filipinos don't know about the show but it is lovely to watch especially when you're a person who likes learning about historical settings. Set in the early 1960's, it shows the common stereotypes in the era such as chauvinism especially in the workplace, lack of environmental concern,  and smoking.. too much smoking! As in like in every scene, almost all the characters smoke. 


I know ladies would love it too because the fashion and the costumes are wonderfully recreated. Plus, all the men and women are classy and glamorous. I hope you get to see this powerhouse of a show.

***

5. So You Think You Can Dance
-- the only talent show I truly believe in. All the judges have a dancing history, unlike American Idol who just gets some of their judges from who knows where. Every single contestant is oozing with talent and it makes TV audiences appreciate other dance genres, not just hip hop. If you're a big fan of Glee, you'd be happy to know that Heather Morrison (Brittany) entered the show only falling short of the top 20 finalists.

How about you, have you got any favorites from the tube lately?

Most mismatched team-ups (television)

Hi, it's been a while since i wrote a real post.anyway, don't you just hate how badly these actors have been teamed-up?

In Tagalog, Hindi Bagay. Tsk tsk tsk , pinilit pa kasi e.

* Roderick Paulate and Aiza Seguerra as a gay couple in Maalaala Mo Kaya

* John Pratts and Aiko Melendez in Your Song: Someone Like you

awoo sorry di ko talaga nagets

at ito talaga sobrang pinilit lang...

* Ara Mina and Aljur Abrenica in Dapat ka bang Mahalin?

Comments or additions anyone?

Bulilit bulilit

Sanay sa maliit...

Have you watched the almost viral, totally cute Camella homes commercial? Oh i just love their tune "Bulilit bulilit" that makes you go LSS (last song syndrome) all day. Of course, who could forget the adorable, little girl who made this ad a huge success?

Camella's star is Cha cha Caneta, a cast member of the ABS CBN kiddie comedy show, Goin' Bulilit. I'm not so familiar with the show but I hope she will have a lot of success after this.

Anyway, Bulilit is so popular now that she even has her own Facebook fan page!

I really commend the people behind this wonderful advertisment. You made many Pinoy viewers smile.

********************

Anyway, i wanna share another bulilit girl that i found in Youtube that i really love. She has the same charm. Hope you like her, too.

Thanks to pharaoh for helping me embed my first video here in this blog.

Labor day rant.

....

"Anak itabi mo, ako na..."

what is your reaction after watching the ad?

a) you change the channel

b) roll your eyes

c) you taste the food you ate a while ago going back up in your throat

d) make a mental note that you'd vote for him in 2010

e) others _______________

I think Mr. Roxas' campaign managers could've done a much better job than this. In fairness, he has gone a long way from being Mr. Palengke.

Well best of luck, but the least presidential candidates could do is think that we, Filipinos, would swallow any more of this kind of.. stuff. There's a slogan but there's not even a clear promise for the future, to the very least. They won't get our vote for promoting him in this light.

.

Anyway, was the little boy played by Bronson of Kasal Kasali Kasalo fame? I'm not too sure.

On the sidelines, the megadaughter gets her first acting award. Seriously now..

PS. Judy Ann and Ryan Agoncillo got wedded this week. I'm so happy for them! Did you see the footage? It's shocking that nobody really knew that it would actually happen this week. They did a good job at keeping it secret and only the immediate family members and close friends were invited. Kris and Boy in SNN (im sure) are asking in their heads "why am I not invited to the rites?"

Manny P. and Chip T.

Hi Manny,

No matter how many statements are issued out, one thing is certain, ... i smell money, dirty money. And lies -- lots of it.

*****

I hope he stops being a celebrity. Why can't he just be the hero we loved way back when he was boxing in RPN 9? I guess these scandals come with fame. Well, I still hope he wins against Hatton.

i think i heard this one before.

Hi Chip.

You call us a nation of servants?. Well, let's just brush your memory. Here's three things for you: Melamine, S.A.R.S, and lead paint in kid's toys! As a patriotic Filipina citizen, this has made my blood boil. So I'm summoning the chinese living here. I'm telling them that if you still want to continue constructing huge malls in my country, you better tell your compatriots in Chinatown on Sunday that you won't send us any more me-la-mine. As a community of immigrant descendants, you don’t flex your muscles at us, Filipino natives, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter from your businesses. Careful tsao, we have chinese hostages in each of our cities.

So Mr. Tsao, it doesn't sound so great right? i am just using your words.

Here's a link of the article: Link

Well anyway, he made an apology to the Filipino Consulate in HongKong. He's forgiven but I hope he becomes more careful next time in the name of responsible journalism.

MAdtv is getting cancelled?

I heard from mylot.com that Mad tv is getting cancelled. Well what is mad tv? it is a comedy show on Fox network with a lot of skits, parodies, and political satires. They have great, wonderful comedic actors. Some have even proceeded to have their own shows. Some have stayed and have become writers. Some become legends (like Mo Collin). It's one of the funniest shows i have ever seen on television.
Anyways, in the past, Mad tv has a lot of followers, but since the years pass, the actors have been replaced countless of times and of course, the following waned. And of course, there's SNL.

But still I hope it will not be cancelled and grow back to its old glory.
I really miss Mo collins, Stephnie weir, Michael mcdonald, Nicole Parker..etc. I love em!

Anyway, here's a 6 minute mad tv skit from youtube.
it's a Cold Case parody.watch it. have fun!

America's Next Top Model

This has got to be one of my favorite shows,everrr. I love Tyra Banks and I plan on becoming her someday (winks). I think she's an example of a woman whose career doesn't just end with modeling and just b*tching around like some former supermodel. Once she retired, she got into businesses and started ANTM which is her brainchild.She also has her own talkshow, the Tyra Show. Well she isn't Oprah but who knows maybe one day she would get to that level.

Girls love ANTM simply because a part of us desires the glamour and fame that is connected with modeling. This show gives hope to millions of girls in America to have the career of a lifetime. Prizes include a cover with Seventeen Magazine and a contract with Elite Model Management (world's best). Wow. I'm drooling over these. But anyway, if you don't win, you get the popularity and hope that another modeling management will get you. After all, ANTM's real objective is to fill up these rookie models' portfolios with superb pictures.

Anyway.My notes:
> favorite cycle: 6 and 7

> favorite breakaway candidate: Joanie cycle 6
> major disappointments: AJ cycle 7

> favorite villain: Melrose

> most high fashion success after ANTM: Katarzhyna (cycle 10) and Mollie Sue (cycle 6)

> favorite winner: Caridee English (Cycle 7 was a tearjerker)

> favorite judge: Paulina Porizkova (she knows what she's talking about)

Cycle 10's finale was, to me, the most glamorous. The finalists, Anya and Whitney were in a genuine Versace runway show in Italy, one of the world capitals of high-fashion. That's the real deal ladies! I wonder what's next for Cycle 11. Because this show only gets better and better...

Plus the judges are just oh so gorgeous. (Nigel Barker, marry me please!)
