I've been meaning to write about my love for Glee since the come back of the new season a few weeks ago, but my lazyness, as usual, got the best of me. I've also been recently advised to try to find a focus for my postings, which is a wise piece of advice, but since I've never really managed to find only one thing to keep my focus on at a time for most of my life, I'm having a hard time with it... besides, if there is one thing I do religiously (which kinda relates to focus, I guess) is watching my tv shows, so probably not too bad to write about something I'm familiar about.
Anyway, let me not lose the focus of this post... it's a rainy holiday here in Germany and I just watched episode 18 of Glee. And I can't help but to wish I had some singing talent so I could realistically dream about one day being discovered and becoming a Glee club member myself.
Well, I'm a dreamer and often and easily get myself into 'the imaginary world of Pam' (ops...) but even I know that a singer I am not. So don't worry people, I'll restrain myself and only sing in the shower, in my car while driving (cause it's awesome to turn up the volume and have a Mariah moment) and at karaokes... nobody is stopping me from karaoking, don't even try!
Anyway, what an awesome episode!
Totally loved the number by Kurt... damn, that was fabulous! Mercedes and Santana doing 'That boy is mine' was great too and I really like that they are using more and more the dumb blond cheerleader... clueless and predictable, but never fails to make me laugh. But it was the last number with the tetraplegic character that got to me, and yes, I had tears in my eyes by the time it was over.
Good brazilian that I am, even living in Germany, I watch my soap-operas (telenovelas) every day on youtube and especially as it's almost at the end, I don't miss one episode of 'Viver a Vida'. And I totally think they are overdoing the drama with Luciana's character.
Don't take me wrong... I think it's brilliant that the soap brings the topic of handicaps to the Brazilian prime-time and the story they are telling is beautiful and inspiring. I like the characters too and Luciana and Miguel are cutest couple of the show. But is it really necessary to use that gospel-like music everytime the characters are on air?!?! Serious joy killer! I almost feel like fast-forwarding whenever that song plays... the Whitney Houston song is already cheesy enough, but that other one.... let's just say that song managed to totally spoil the scenes on the Monet Garden and with such a beautiful set, this is quite the accomplishment!
But anyway.... see, I lost my focus, this was supposed to be a post about Glee and now it's already super long! So just to finish: if you don't watch Glee, try it! The come back episode with Madonna songs was fabulous... Sue Silvester making her madonna video was so cool! But really one of the shows best moments so far was the football team doing the Beyonce 'Put a ring on it' song... just hilarious!
Sooooooo, get GLEEd you too! And then come and tell me about it :D
