Glee - Born This Way - Gleecap

The episode kicks off with Finn breaking Rachel's nose with his bad dancing. Damn Finn. Now you know it's time to take a lesson when you start breaking other people's bones. Finn accompanies Rachel to the doctor who tells her she should be grateful for the accident because now she has the glorious opportunity of fixing her jewish shnoz. Um. Worst doctor ever award right over here? What doctor encourages their teenage patients to get a nose job? When Rachel comes to class announcing plans of a nose job to improve her voice, Schue uses this as an excuse to teach a lesson on acceptance. I don't know Will. Letting Santana rant on and on about Rachel's shnoz and Finn's puffy nipples kind of solidified you were a crappy teacher. And kind of a crappy friend. I hated the way they were dealing with Emma's OCD storyline. Having Will make her feel bad is not the way to force her to get help. Seriously. Someone page Marc Summers.

Glee - A Night of Neglect - Gleecap

 Photo via Facebook

I consider this episode to be an answer to us fans who have been complaining about the lack of screen time given to Glee's under appreciated cast members. The title says it all. A Night of Neglect. The kids need to raise money for their trip to Nationals in New York and Will would like them to sell taffy to do it. This isn't Atlantic City Will. That's not going to work. Artie, Brittany, Mike and Tina are all in a trivia club and have won the chance to compete in Detroit. They will also need money. Holly suggests putting together a benefit concert instead, giving the neglected kids of New Directions a chance to shine.

Kris Allen Does The Feeny Call

..Or attempts to anyway. :) In honor of the 90's classic tv show Boy Meets World finally getting released on dvd again, I thought I'd dust off this video I took backstage of Kris Allen paying homage to the best show ever.

Find out why Kris believes he's not as good as Eric Matthews. Video:

New Song From Kris Allen!

Some very lucky fans got to see Kris Allen at The Viper Room where he debuted a new song! Kris, or should we say his band's alter ego Sirk and The Dirty Minds, showed that they have the chops to go into country with this song. What do you guys think?

Thanks to Ocamy24 for the fast upload! His fans thank you.

Robbie Rosen Day - Videos and Pictures

The Long Island community got together to honor Robbie Rosen on Saturday and I was lucky enough to attend. I took pictures and video of his performances and my opinion on him hasn't changed.

Robbie was Robbed! I've long thought Robbie had one of the best vocals on American Idol this season but a lack of camera time and the show's need for a girl to finally win, ultimately didn't work in his favor.

Robbie and his family were extremely kind, humble, and thankful for everyone who braved the extreme weather to see him. And believe me, it was cold. I watched Robbie's performances and before I knew it, an HOUR LONG line had formed to meet him. I can only imagine what it would have been like had it been a sunny day.

I have to say it was worth the wait. Robbie was amazing, giggly, and very humble as I prodded him to tour so we could all see him again. Then I got myself a hug and thanked Robbie for following me on twitter. I have no shame. It's American Idol's loss and Robbie's talent will surely take him somewhere even better.

Videos and pictures of Robbie performing God Bless America, Moody's Mood For Love, and a new original song Ride Of Your Life here:
