Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me.

OMG Hilarious! Sue Sylvester Belts Out Nicki Minaj's Super Bass

Talk about an epic performance last night on GLEE.  If you didn't get the chance to see the "Feud" episode last night, you missed a really fantastic performance by Sue Sylvester.  Well.... the feud was between her and Blaine, but who was paying attention to him after Sue belted out "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj.  OMG, it was hilarious, but oh so good!!!  God, I love her!

You can check out the video here - you'll definitely enjoy it if you're a GLEE fan, or two you're a Nicki Minaj fan.  Mariah Carey & Blaine, not so much.

Ding Dong, The Witch is Not Dead!

If you're reading this, stop.  Have you already caught up on all your True Blood episodes?  If you haven't, leave now, because I'm going to write shit you probably don't want to know.
What I'm still trying to figure out is why the hell Marnie let Jesus and Lafayette into a room with a dead body? Did she do this on purpose? In either case, at the end of the latest episode, Jesus unbinded Antonia from Marnie and allowed Sookie to survive from the ring of fire.  
All the while, the crazy vampires, Eric, Pam, Jessica, and Bill, who come to destroy the witches' cove are outside arguing if they should save Sookie or Not, big brother comes in her defense, the witches' vampire shield (much like a bug shield that will zap you into smithereens) comes down, the vampires rush in, Eric kills one of the witches, sucks on his heart like he's drinking a sangria out of a 7-Eleven Slurpee, and they shoot the crap out of the wicked witch of the west, Marnie.  
But guess what????  The Witch is not actually dead!  She jumps into Lafayette's body at the end of the episode as a cliffhanger.

In other True Blood news... Sam loses his brother Tommy to a pack of wolves who beat him to a pulp in the previous week's episode.  Sam goes on a rampage and goes after the said wolves with the help of Alcide who btw, finds out his girlfriend Debbie was shagging/not shagging Sam's girlfriend's ex-husband, Marcus.  After Sam throws a few punches, and a couple of "Fuck You's," he allows him to live, but Alcide kills him anyway.
Oh... and we find out the fairies' taste in men.  They love having sex with fat, burly men like Andy.  Geezus, couldn't they have chosen Jason Stackhouse?  Andy, really?  What the hell were the producers drinking.  Yes, I meant to say drinking.

Stay tuned for the final episode on Sunday, September 12th!

The Voice: Final Performances

You know I'm going to be straight-forward with you.  

All season long I've been saying how great The Voice has been with the production, time, and sets of the show, but last night's 2-hour-long fiasco was a bit much.

The coaches commenced the show with another performance by Queen, "Under Pressure." It really wasn't that great, and when you have to see them again on stage singing with their team finalist, it kinda makes you wonder, is this promotion really necessary?  Geez, the judges have gotten more airtime than the contestants.  They also had a Ne-Yo duet with Pit Bull, and a Brad Paisley performance on top of that.

For their final performance, each of the contestants sang an original song.  Many online sites, including my partner, Ryan, mentioned that they should have sang a cover instead of an original.  I could "maybe" agree with that, but then again, I can't.  If you would have given one of these original songs, to let's say, Adam Lambert, or hell, all of the judges - they would have belted these same songs out like there were no tomorrow.  Seriously, if you cannot take an original song, and make it your own, then you have some problems.

Let's watch the performances:

Javier Colon sang "Stitch by Stitch" written by Rodney Jerkins.  Honestly, I was falling asleep listening to this number.  First, the title sounds like something out of Disney's Lilo & Stitch, and finally, like I've said it all season long.  He's just "more of the same."  Nothing unique about his voice.  If he wins, its because of "fan favorites," and not-so-much "an out of this world" performance.


Vicci Martinez sang "Afraid To Sleep" written by Butch Walker. In my opinion, this was the worst of the night.  "Afraid To Sleep," really?  You probably had difficulty sleeping last night, after this hot mess.  At this point, I'm really disappointed with the contestants.



Dia Frampton sang "Inventing Shadows" written by Frasier T. Smith.  If I had to rank last night's performances based on this song, I'd have to say Dia would be in the top 2.


 
Beverly McClellan sang "Lovesick" written by Bill Appleberry. Obviously the best performance of the night, Beverly actually sang the song like all the others should have.  My guess is, favoritism will decide the winner, and not so much their talent.

Glee Does Friday - And Hits A Homerun!

If you watched Glee last night, you may have noticed a cover of a recent hit song - "Friday" by Rebecca Black.  Yes, the young YouTuber was just made richer.  While some people think she's a "one hit wonder," I beg to differ.  If you allow these sort of things to happen, you are only giving the artist more power, and who's to say she doesn't deserve it after all the humiliation.  Meanwhile, in the last 24 hrs, Glee's cover has hit iTunes, and she is happily reaping the benefits.

Sam , Artie, and Puck sang the addictive song during their prom, and I'd have to say it was actually quite good - there were times Ryan and I were tapping our feet.  Contrary to popular rumors, Black did not make a cameo on the show.

I think I may know what director and producer, Ryan Murphy was trying to convey by playing this song on prom night, and correct me if I'm wrong - but don't you feel he did this because of the backlash she got when the song was released?  Haters and bullies dissed her when she released her music video, and in the end, she was able to come out on top. This season's primary focus has been bullying, so it only makes sense to me.

Here are the boys (Sam , Artie, and Puck) singing Rebecca's song on last night's episode.

They Killed Off My Queen!!!!

Last night, when Ryan and I finished watching the season 2 finale of V, we were left dumbfounded, breathless and in total shock.  Glee, I hope you get the hint on how to kill off major characters on a show, not just a bird.  I absolutely loved the finale. Tyler's death was so unexpected, but I'm actually glad he was killed off, seriously he is the biggest twat I have ever seen on TV besides Charlie Sheen of course. Erica will surely be out for Anna now!  I Could care less about Ryan being gone, but I also didn't expect his young daughter to kill him.  Hell, the whole show was full of "unexpected" story lines, and deaths.  This is surely a cliffhanger for the ages - it may even beat out Dallas's "Who Shot J.R." episode.  Um.. No, I don't think so, But it was a thriller and shocker nonetheless.

Not My Queen!!!! Diana, Nooooo!!! As elegant and beautiful as her entrance was, what a waste to finally get her out of the dungeon and then kill her off! After a failed plot to have Lisa kill Anna, the Visitors' High Commander came back with a vengeance and killed her own mother, Diana, in front of the entire ship. While the murder was horrendous, I loved the line Anna threw at her daughter Lisa when she turned back and said, "Now that’s how you kill your mother!


ABC, you know what you have to do, don’t you? You have to renew V. It can’t stay like this. The “Evil Lisa” was awesome. As for the inbred child, blissing the humans was something I sort of saw coming.  Also getting to realize Erica’s FBI workers are actually on her side; All along I thought they might be on the other side. It was good to know that there is more help out there.  I could go on for a while about V’s finale but I’ll stop there for now. lol

Please ABC we need Season 3 we really do.

Was Tonight's Episode of Glee Written by Our Friend, Guillermo?

Okay, let me hear it - I was right.  It was the damn stupid bird that died in the episode of Glee tonight.  Ugh. couldn't it have been Kurt?

I have no earthly idea, but I could have sworn our friend Guillermo wrote the script for tonight's episode, or at least the last five minutes of the show when the Judges are about to vote on a new champion.  I spent a good deal of time pausing our DVR just to get at this wonderful script.  Thanks Guillermo :-)

Of course, as I mentioned earlier, Kathy Griffin portrays a Twitterer and former Tea Party Candidate as Tammy Jean Albertson, Loretta Devine portrays a Nun and former exotic dancer as Sister Mary Constance and finally the return of the local celebrity, Rod Remington, a Gadabout.

I must say, I really love Loretta Devine, she was downright hilarious.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Until the video surfaces on You Tube, here is the funny script...

Tammy Jean Albertson - Before we start, I would like to say, "I am not a witch."  But, um, i think it's fair to ask, do we have written proof that these kids were born in the United States of America?

Sister Mary Constance - For a Nun, I'm pretty liberal... but I'm barely a Nun.  In fact I just joined because I needed a place to live.

Tammy Jean Albertson - Bless you.

Sister Mary Constance - The convent is the one place I knew I could stay off the pole.  But my question is this... That Dalton Academy is it a gay school, or is it just a school that appears gay?

Rod Remington walks into the room and chimes in with some nonsense about his hairdresser and the hairdresser's boyfriend who's also a hairdresser. LOL  He feels that "the gays" should be allowed to marry, and Sister Mary Constance continues...

Sister Mary Constance - I like the duet the boys from Dalton sang.

Tammy Jean Albertson - Oh boys, shouldn't do a duet; The last thing we need to do is send a message to children, that "gay is okay." It is not a legitimate lifestyle,and last time I checked it's not in the constitutition.

Rod Remington - What about that song about Jesus?

Tammy Jean Albertson - Well that should win.

Sister Mary Constance - uh, uh, uh, no, no, no, that is just cheap pandering, I didn't even like to be pandered to when I was a stripper.

Rod Remington - Those New Directions had it going on. Those songs were fresh.

Tammy Jean Albertson - Those songs were terrible I am sorry, But I'm a politician and when I lost my last election, and there will be a recount, I didn't go around singing about being a loser I twittered that Obama is a Terrorist.

Sister Mary Constance - Oh no, you didn't.

Tammy Jean Albertson - I had to it's a fact.
