The return of “Glee”

August 31st, 2010 Posted in Entertainment | No Comments »

Hate it or love it, “Glee” will be back this year as the second season kicks off in September. The unlikely success the show has enjoyed has put a lot of pressure on the writers and expectations are high for its return later this year.

The show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, said that there would be a few changes in the next season. Tribute episodes will not play a big part of the season and he said that they would be limited to 2 or 3 episodes. Britney Spears is expected to be the focus of one of those episodes while an unnamed “big” star is the focus of another. According to the rumors, that episode will be a tribute to the King of Pop – Michael Jackson. “Britain’s Got Talent” winner Susan Boyle will guest star in an episode. She is rumored to appear in a Christmas or Christmas themed episode in December.

Minor characters from season one will get more screen time as the show wants to create more depth in the storyline. The characters of Santana, Brittany and Tina as well as Kurt’s dad have been named as definite character expansions. More artists have also freed up their catalogues to the show ensuring that a wide variety of songs will grace the show. Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney is a big fan of the show and has even written to Murphy suggesting some songs that could be included in the next season.

Season two will premiere on the 21st of September.

The phenomenon of internet radio

July 21st, 2010 Posted in Music | No Comments »

Almost all of us grew up listening to the radio, no matter which country you live in. Whether it was educational stuff or in a talk show format or even the most popular reason for its very existence: music, one will always find that its influence was common to older generations before the advent of television.

Along the lines of the word ‘influence’, gospel music hailing from more traditional times to its contemporary version is listened to for inspiration and for some folks, it is matter of listening solely to this form of music as it is a part and parcel of their life in matters of devotion.

Musicians such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Bob Fitts, the Bill Gaither Trio, the Imperials and so on and so forth mark the transition of music from praise and worship music to its contemporary form that has seemingly jumped into mainstream music.

Jazz music has also come a long way with radio stations playing every form of jazz that has been played from the earliest times until now. Popular forms of jazz continue to be smooth jazz both in its instrumental and vocal form.

And now with the phenomenon of internet radio, no matter where one lives, you can get access to different genres of music for free.

July 20th, 2010 Posted in Entertainment | No Comments »

The hit Filipino singer Charice states that she is ready for “Glee”, one of the most popular TV shows to date which is aired on Fox TV. In preparation for her debut, she is undergoing Botox procedure and an anti-aging process which she claims is for her to “look fresh on camera.” But the teenager’s publicist that the procedure was not meant for cosmetic purposes but for muscle pain. The popular Filipino singer who was gifted with a soothing voice, and has recently launched her debut album, witnessed her career path skyrocket when she appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s and Ellen DeGeneres’ talk shows.

The singer was said to have undergone the procedure - a half-hour Thermage (a skin tightening process) and some Botox injections to narrow her “naturally round face”, as stated by cosmetic surgeon and celebrity Vicki Belo during her interview with ABS-CBN television. But the publicist of Charice, Liz Rosenberg wrote an email stating that the procedure was not done for cosmetic purposes but for the muscle pain the singer was experiencing in her jaw, despite the fact that cosmetic surgeon Vicki Belo did the procedure with the cameras rolling. In that same interview, however, Charice said that the Botox she got was a part of her preparation for her debut on “Glee” season 2. The singer will start filming at the end of July. Charice felt very thankful and blessed when she auditioned for the show mid-June and got accepted for the role. She said she is proud to be part of the show and she is proud to be a Filipino.
