new journey

Oprah had the new Journey on her show where she shared the story of how they found their amazing new singer Arnel Pineda. The little guy has a big voice and sounds a lot like Steve Perry. I’ve been a fan forever so I still prefer to see/hear Steve Perry singing but these things happen….

Ally McBeal

The last TV show that I loved as much as I love Mad Men was Ally McBeal which was on 1997 to 2002. Calista Flockhart was wonderul in the lead as the cute but quirky attorney along with a fantastic cast of characters from David E. Kelly. He went on to become the first person…

Mad About Mad Men

I finally got all caught up to date with the Mad Men TV series. I bought the first two seasons and proceeded to watch all 26 episodes in no time at all! So now I’m like all of the other Mad Men maniacs anxiously waiting for the 7th episode of season three on Sunday at…

mad men yourself

I finally watched Mad Men last night and loved it. Now I see what all the hoopla was about. I loved the writing and acting and especially the period in time (early 60s JFK era). I really like the look and feel of the show, the style in clothes and everything else Americana about it….

Melissa (ballerina) and Ade were magnificent in their performance. She conveyed such power and emotion and grace while Ade displayed his strength and agility. I love the way she throws…

You’re still you

Here’s the first time most of us ever heard or saw Josh Groban many years ago when he performed in Allie McBeal as this nerdy guy who sings at the prom. No one listens at first but then they hear that voice and everyone stops and becomes spellbound. It’s such a great scene. It was…

Prego

I love this music used in an old Prego spaghetti sauce commercial. The mp3 was on their website for a long time but sadly not anymore. The music was composed by  David Horowitz and the violin solo was done by Regis Landiorio. It’s so Italian and makes me feel so at home. I can smell…

Blake McGrath

One of my favorite performers ever from “So You Think You Can Dance” was Blake McGrath from season one. He might actually be my favorite period if it weren’t for his ego which prevented him from winning the first season of SYTYCD. Still, he ranks right up there with Benji who won season two and…
