Show Stoppers: At American Idol 2009 - A Twist Just in Time

Image
It was like a great KRIS-mas morning on last night’s American Idol finale. The hundred million votes cast resulted in Kris Allen from Conway, Arkansas being crowned our 2009 American Idol winner. I guess sometimes your votes really do count. But let’s back track a little. Last evening’s 2-hour finale was a feast for the senses. Just when you thought they couldn’t pull another rabbit out of that top idol hat, the surprises kept coming. Playing, rocking, rapping, singing and dancing on the Idol stage, celebrity after music celebrity appeared. Apparently it was the place to be last night in Hollywood. Everyone from Rod Stewart, to Queen Latifah, to Fergie and the Black-eyed Peas, to Santana, to KISS, to Cyndi Lauper and current Idol David Cook all paid tribute to this television phenomenon by showing up and performing with the Top 13 candidates of the season. Even if they all couldn’t win the top prize, they really are all winners in the end. At 17, if she never does another thing in...

How did I end up here?

Still stuck at the desk! I am currently wondering how I arrived at this age (you know – 30-something) still working For The Man in Corporate America. I dislike corporate. Don't get me wrong, I like my company now and what it stands for, etc. It isn't this one company I don't like. It is corporate as a whole that I am uncomfortable in.

And the strange tactics used day in and day out make me feel - on a good day - like I am on a planet not our own. And this is not by any means a slight to my current employer, but an overall view of corporate as I have always seen it and lived it. Carbon copies of each other, no matter where you go! I find its daily routine suffocating and demoralizing. Corporate is defini...

GLEE-fully Yours

Image
I don't know what's the matter with me! Oh, wait...perhaps it was the whole flood thingy. But I just realized that I have been hotly devoted to FOX television's latest phenomenon GLEE and have yet to blog about it. GLEE, for those of you not in the know, is an hour-long musical television drama/comedy (dramedy) that gleefully combines the minimalist raunchiness of Grease with the scrubbed-clean (with industrial strength Disney) wholesomeness of High School Musical . From somewhere at the core of these two song-and-dance spectacles comes GLEE – an unexpected offspring of seemingly questionable innocence. The show is aimed at the coveted 18-to 24 demographic, but with enough adult meaty writing to keep the oldies interested. Mix this all up and viola! A hit is born! The Premise A group of misfit student singers – plucked from every corner of society – led by an overly optimistic and charming young male teacher set off to change the views about geek...
