Hello Guys!
Thank you for visiting the blog and I hope you are having a good week. So much
has been happening giving me enough to blog about today. So without further ado
here’s #TheRoundUp:
HOT ON TV
It hit me
this week that Glee on FOX is ending next year. I am a Gleek but I am also on
the fence. On one side I feel like the world is going to end because Glee was a
messiah to millions of people around the world. The storylines made us happy
and gave us hope, but on the other hand the show was beginning to get lost.
Cory’s
death really affected Ryan Murphy’s camp, the show had a not so amazing fourth
season and the new characters were not really marrying well with the rest of
the cast. So I guess us Gleeks are left with no option but to move on. It’s not
going to be easy but I’m sure Ryan Murphy and his team made a smart decision.
I’m excited to watch his new series which he describes as a horror/musical.
Kind of like a Glee meets American Horror Story.
American
Horror Story on FX disappointed me. I enjoyed Coven (Season 3) so much that I
expected Freak Show (Season 4) to be bigger than Miley’s twerking at the 2013
VMAs. However, the characters are FREAKING awesome! The creators are geniuses
and deserve all the awards in the world.
Other
fictional series worth mentioning are Stalker on CBS and A to Z on NBC. These
shows are on fire! #ABreathOfFreshAir. Gotham on FOX is a mess if you ask me. I
enjoyed the first episode and then BOOM they had me confused. The only good
thing there is Jada Pinkett-Smith’s character. The Flash on The CW is sadly
rowing in the same boat. I am simply failing to focus on the storylines. The cast is good looking though.
The Queen
Latifah Show is slowly becoming a nightmare. There are even times when Queen
Latifah will crack a joke and no one in the studio audience laughs. If that’s
not the worst that could happen to a talk show host then a Zebra has no
stripes. I loved her first season but at the same time I felt like she was
trying too hard to be the next Ellen DeGeneres. I hope the show improves
because it undoubtedly carries something special.
Ellen is
doing well. Her show is addictive and makes my day. I am just a little worried
about the nudity and naughty stuff that goes on there. The producers or whoever
is in charge should either tone it down or move the show to late night. Wendy
has a big mouth! I love her hosting style because she makes me interested in
the person she’s talking about (no other host does it well) but sometimes she
takes it too far ( e.g . the mean stuff she says about Kris Jenner). If she’s
saying all those things to entertain then well done but if she’s being real
then that might be a problem.
Steve
Harvey is awesome but it seems like the show is only for women. He focuses a
lot on women’s issues such that I’m beginning to think he’s GAY. LOL. The Talk
on CBS is still the king of the roundtable. The View, The Real and others (no
offence) can learn a thing or two from the ladies of The Talk. First lesson: Be
Friends! Or at least pretend to like each other. What happened to faking it
‘til you make it?
A few shows
have already been cancelled. My favorite: Manhattan Love Story on ABC. All I
can say is GONE TOO SOON. Witches of East End on Lifetime (one of Enzer’s top
shows) also got cancelled this week. Someone has to do something about all
these cancellations! SERIOUSLY, this is no joke. Some of these shows are really
good and deserve to be on-the-air for at least three years! The executive producers
shouldn’t just give up; they should make a plan, look for another channel or
something. I wish they all could learn from The Game on BET. Those guys made a
plan and it worked out.
Moving on,
The Voice on NBC is getting better. Hallelujah! The new coaches have added so
much value and they’ve rejuvenated the show. I’m not so sure about the
contestants but then again The Voice is not really known for producing people
like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Yes, I like The Voice but it seems
like it’s more about the coaches and their new releases, just saying. I’m
sad that Gwen Stefani is not returning for the next season. I was hoping
Pharrell would skip a season and make way for Usher who I heard isn’t having a
good year.
MUSIC SPOT
Can we
please move on from Taylor Swift’s #ShakeItOff. It’s a good song, I loved it
when it was fresh but it’s getting old. I also hope that #ShakeItOff will not
be the only hit on Taylor’s 1989 album. Please, God.
There’s so
much good music circulating this fall/winter. Nick Jonas is flying solo and I
think he will make it. I love his new songs. They are so funky and I can tell
he took his time. George Ezra is also freaking amazing. He has this unique voice
that I have never heard before and his music is deep.
Jessie J is (of course) worth mentioning. J’adore Jessie
J. Besides the fact that the songs on her new album are too racy, I like the
sound. They are definitely club bangers and she will obviously be successful
this year because (in case you haven’t heard) SEX SALES.
IN THE NEWS
The
Canadian Government has decided to stop issuing visas to citizens from some
parts of the world. I think it’s a dumb idea. Most of the people that are
travelling to The Americas from the Ebola affected countries are
American/Canadian health care workers. Some of them even refuse to be
quarantined. So if they really want to stop the spread of Ebola to North
America they need to wake up and stop acting as if they issue out visas like
they are Halloween candy because we all know they don’t. How is it even possible
that other parts of Africa are Ebola free and yet North America is battling
with the disease? There must be some kind of magnet in North America that pulls
in all that West Africa has to offer.
In other
news the Democrats lost the U.S. mid-term elections. Experts are saying that
these results will make Obama’s last two years in office an unbearable hell.
There really isn’t anything new. What
America needs is a new party. The Democrats and Republicans have failed. The
Americans are not happy about anything: healthcare is a mess, the economy is
not up to standard and THE TERORRIST ATTACKS just won’t stop. What does a
population do? Sponsor a new party. Done.
Angela
Merkel, the German Chancellor, is threatening to kick the UK out of the EU if
they change their immigration laws. Before I comment on anything else, I didn’t
even know that Germany had that much power in the EU. The reason why I’m
excited about this is because I never thought that Germany had the guts to tell
the UK where to kiss. LOL. For me it’s not news it’s entertainment.
Okay, so
back to UK Immigration. What’s interesting about this whole issue is that the
UK is getting fed up of EU to UK migration. It’s weird because most people
including myself would expect Non-EU to UK migration to be the problem. I don’t
blame the British though because one of the reasons why you open up borders or
integrate with neighboring countries is so that you progress as a bloc:
economically, militarily, etc. If “smaller” countries or states in the bloc
begin to switch to dependent mode then there’s no point in working together
because you are no longer equal. Right? On the other hand important sectors
like the NHS might be in jeopardy if they decide to cut down on immigration. I
guess this is similar to what happened during the colonial era when the British
had to let go of their colonies in order to save their economy. Good Luck David
Cameron.
