This has been a great and will
be a beautifully ridden life.
In short, did that, been there,
will be...all those vistas.
안녕하세요?...Welcome to Suray's World & Beyond
where you will see what I treasure and cherish in simple yet wonderful life.
Been such a long time since Glee makes me feel this way. Guess...I miss the old-time glee. naaaa....^^ This week's episode (title: Wonder-ful) was truly a blessing in disguise. It touches the issue that we need to always see things with a smile on face.
We need to appreciate, thank, and be grateful for what and who we have.
Kurt's song that he dedicated to his father is one of the best highlights of this episode's (if not the whole season). Well, I may exaggerate it a little bit, but..to think that he feels this kind of way to his Daddy who turned out to be all supporting and stuffs....is a stellar thing to do.
*Oh, I guess I'd also like to thank Stevie Wonder for this wonderfully written song.
Glee has sometimes been one of my sources to let me begin my journey into the charms of myriad songs/performances/artists etc. I never knew existed.^^ The other day I listened into Glee's rendition of 'A Chorus Line's At the Ballet" that really captured my ears and eyes, sights and sounds and the glory of the past (the era of '70's).
I did not know that At the Ballet was one of the long-running Broadway shows until I learned about it through last week aired Glee.
Now I am hooked into devouring myself into what
A Chorus Line has (still) to offer for newbie like me. And I am all there for it...
Well, it must be no other than the new comer to Glee...White Collar's .Matt Bomer who out of the blue (but good, though) put some plot into Darren Criss' life in Glee. Well, the song "Somebody that I used to Know' seems to be a kind of weird song (well, a song dedicated to a brother^^). But, hey, still...it sounds so cool. the music, too, is so exceptionally beautiful.
Ok, Darren + Matt in Glee, what could be better than this, then...at least to the new installment of the Glee 's latest episode.
well, Glee is not so popular in Korea as it is in Southeast Asian countries. Well...that's the downside of it. When I was back in Indonesia, I used to be able to watch it on a weekly basis thanks to Indovision, the cable TV that I used to subscribe. Now that I live in Korea, I cannot watch it at the same time as I did back home. (sigh).
But, thanks to YouTube, I could at least follow what's going on up there on the world of Glee.
Some people do find me kind of weird for being a glee-fan or GLeek^^. Well, what's not to point out: I'm married, two kids, but........I do...love the mere trivial fact of being soaked into Glee^^. Oh swell....^^
Yes, April 10, 2012 is the start of the new season of Glee--after Winter break. ^^ Well, after all....I am a gleek myself.-- to surprise many. Though I have not yet...checked the latest episode, yet...I think I could just let my eyes rest assured that it's gonna be here soon. For the meantime, I'm contented to be watching the clips or at least some latest videos of the series: like this one.
What a nerve!
That's exactly what came to my mind when I noticed the outspoken Sebastian who flirted with Blaine. ^^
Anyway...I don't mind that.
I just want to-- once again-- point out that I love this particular scene simply (really? no other reason, Suray?^^ ) because of the camera's switching back and forth between Blaine, Sebastian, Rachel, and Santana in such a way that it makes it looks sooo cool. I think this is by far the best camera directing(?) so far in the history of Glee...^^.
I just love the way it intertwines the story line with the West Side Story's song 'A Boy Like That'
OK. just can't get enough of this scene..^^
I Love Glee. I do.
Never have I been his excited of being one of the fans in Glee-nophenon.
I remembered setting my eyes for the first time into Glee...
And...now I have never missed a single episode.
Now...it comes down to the season 3, 5th episode....which really took my breath away...^^
I think I owed this to the directing skills of Bradley Buecker who managed to unfold the stories in different ways.
I love the way he uses the West Side Story's songs to interlude...to tell...to knit...to portray the stories in the episode.
Even I love the intricately and cunning intro into the new Warbler's Sebastian who seems to be so douchy and charmingly intimidating.....and he could jeopardize the whole world of Kurt&Blaine's.
I think lots of people might just want to give him a punch on his face...for being so blatantly hitting on Blaine.
.....
Gosh I do not know where to start...but......this episode is so intense...
All of the characters mainly the main characters...got their part....so well done..that I sometimes almost forget that this is Glee which used to be so easy-going and light in story telling....
but this time....some depths into the realms of each characters did show up and left marks on me at least.
Even, Michael Chang's visage did tell something how passionate he is in dancing or acting.....
and...most of all....coach Beiste's heart-wrenching scene ever....I can't wait to see where this will lead in more episodes to come...
Now....back to the 'The First Time's suggestively sex or promiscuity hinted on the episode.....
I am not into promiscuity or something. In fact, I kind of disagree of this so-called 'coming of age' story of the main characters in having their first time...(Rachel & Finn)...and (Blaine & Kurt).
Wow..or fortunately..it was a good thing that the scenes are modestly portrayed. The positive and negative effects of what to ponder and think before doing it....are all put into the episodes. I think Glee just wants the audience to judge it by themselves...
West Side Story's "When Love Comes" pretty much sums it up...
I think since I cannot just write in order..I just write it based on what I remembered....might as well....telling what I admired most.
1. First, I think the 'Up Town Girl' was OK. It's been such a long time since the last time any Warblers were portrayed in Glee. Although I think the song kinda ozzeed out or way off from the theme of the episode, I remembered the way the new character--Sebastian--is introduced. From the first scene, it was so obvious that he was hitting on Blaine. He dared himself to outspokenly say that he's been looking for this legendary Blaine. He said something like....:)
"So, you're a legend at Dalton. Don't be modest. I don't know who this Blaine guy is...But apparently he's a sex on a stick and sings like a dream. So, sex that I missed, though.'
WHAT? who the heck he is....that he just.....said that:) aha..
I felt like wanting to hit him on the face...:)
Never have I been this so involved in the TV drama like this...(I think I have put myself into trouble....:)
Now comes the best part....
The episode 5 started to captivate me...once again because of the directing or the angle of the camera...that was sooooo different from the previous episodes.
When Sebastian is trying to hit on Blaine...by asking...."Why did you leave Dalton? were you bored of all the preppies around here or is it that you broke too many hearts here to stay?"
Blaine is flabbergasted and dumbfounded numb.
Then...the camera zoooomed into the back of Sebastion and suddenly Rachel and Santana sings the background song of West Side Story's 'A Boy Like That' in such an endearing way to portray the clumsiness that Blaine had....
Gosh, I cannot get enough of the way it is directed...
just simply love it.
## Gosh...how could someone who just met other for the first time said something like that...otherwise he had something in his mind. Even he got some nerves to do it...despite ..or against the odds of knowingly that Blaine got a boyfriend.
wow...that's harsh.
Sometimes I wonder...why Glee has to introduce this new character.....^^
2. Second. Coach Beiste's subplot is something that should be praised, too in this episode. I think on this episode she did steal the show. It was the first time that she got someone she was interested in. The way the story unfolded was also a nice one, too. It was clear how she has been holding this up to the moment..... She is so great in capturing...the sad moment of her heart. so touching...^^
cannot wait to see how it is going, too
3. Rachel and Finn's gonna-be first time was also awkwardly funny. I think it shows how Finn really like or love Rachel. He's been kinda calm and patient enough to do whatever Rachel's been asking him to do..even...on wait or abstinence from sex...until this episode.
4. The scene where Kurt met Karofsky in a bar was also a memorable scene since it kinda shows how they have grown into respecting each other.
5. Finn's desperate realization that life was more than just football and singing..was also a good or realistic portrayal that was about time to show up. It sort of showed that Finn was matured to be a man.
Oh.....Santana's voice is so distinctively captivating....^^in this episode. She sings 'A Boy Like That' and 'America' that really sums up her true characteristics in the best vocal ever....
I think the end of the episode with Blaine's and Rachel's rendition of 'One Hand, One Heart'
'with this ring, I thee wed...
with this ring, I thee we....
while the camera zooming out...into the worlds of Rachel's and Kurt's with their partners....
once again..fortunately..it was calmly and modestly...portrayed.
It's Not Easy Being Green
(sung by Damian McGinty on Glee's Pot o' Gold)
It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not that easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
well...well..well....I thought I could not find something else....
but Darren's Criss new rendition of new songs (I mean) old song.....magically glee-s-tified..into something new...is popping up in my computer screen.
And I bumped into Tom Jones' It's Not Unusual....
well, after listening and watching Darren's Criss singing this song...
now..I'd better ask myself whether I would remember this song as Tom Jones or Darren's:)
maybe it's a little bit exaggerating....but....
let's see.
GLee and GLee and GLee again...
I feel like being punched in my gut knowing that the 3rd season of Glee has come already. And I feel like I am the last person to know. I am in Seoul and I cannot watch the Glee!!! I have no StarWORLD like I have back home via Indovision. Or I cannot just see it at the same time as it was airing in the US..like what I used to do back home.
But......in YouTUBE I just bumped into this Darren Criss again.
well, you guess it, folks...I am (shyly admitting) that I might be crazy to love Darren's voice. well, only his voice???? (hmmm )
anyway..I bumped into this...West Side Story's Something's Coming of coz it is Darren's versions
woow.....it DOES make my day. I was stuck with my translation stuff. I did not sleep enough because I got to finish the translation and editing....and as soon as I finished it....I pampered myself my hooking myself to Youtube....and bumped into this beautifully ....speechlessly....awe-and jaw-dropping performance...:)
Ooops...I cannot resit myself from posting another video of Damian singing a duet with Cameron. I thought it was way much better than the original.(it may sound so subjective, though). But, the thing is, this kind of song makes my spirit soar simply because it resembles the subtlety of what it feels to be someone. (what am I talking about?) anyhow....please just enjoy the video).
Just found out that he is going to be in the Glee episode 3!
Wow. what an experience that he will have.
I think he deserves it. Judging from the simple fact that he got what it takes to be one of the Glee cast members:)
Can't wait to see him in his journey.
Just check him out....who could resist his subtlety.....
It has been like two months since the last time I watched Glee season 2 where it all ended. The memories that I have while watching and following the steps, ups and downs of glee casts have been lingering on my mind. once again, the music featured in the show has been indeed one of my daily doses:)
Never joke about it, though. it seemed so nice to be true...despite its flaws--as any other show would have, too. But....there again.....TV is a kinda a poor thing since the Glee show is over. Guess...I got to wait for another start of the new season. Where would I watch it? in Korea? hmmm....hopefully it is going to be easily shown there.
