Love is in the air. Here’s #TheRoundUp
HOT ON TV
I am addicted to Modern Family on
ABC! Somebody, please HELP me because
the Modern Family Gods have me
chained to my couch all year long, LOL.
I mean, who isn’t in love with the show?
The cast, the writing team, the production – everything is simply the best.
Making it even more special are the outstanding couples that the creators have
created for us.
My favorite: Mitchell
Pritchett (played by Jesse Tyler
Ferguson) and Cameron Tucker
(played by Eric Stonestreet), the
match made in gay heaven. Those two and their little girl (Lily Tucker-Pritchett played by Aubrey
Anderson-Emmons) are the dream. I can only wish I had a daughter as smart
as the character Lily (for reasons
I’ll never disclose, sorry, LOL).
On the other side, a not so impressive comedy series that is surprisingly
still on-the-air and could possibly be renewed for a second season is NAACP Image Award winning series Blackish, also airing on ABC. I find the storylines and humor
quite offensive and unnecessary. The production and the cast are flawless but
the storyline/premise/plot is just not working for me. The first episodes
(about three) were ok; sadly it went downhill from there onwards.
Moving on, another popular series that has Americans and many other people
around the world gushing is the exciting ABC
thriller Scandal. The love triangle
between President Fitz, Jack Ballard and Lady Olivia Pope is one
of my favorite fictional love triangles of all time. I get annoyed a lot when Olivia hops back and forth between The President and Jack’s bedroom but on the other hand all the drama that tags along
with her makes it all worthwhile. The fourth season kicked off on a low (if you
ask me), hopefully it will end on a high and leave us wanting more.
The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) took place last Sunday and were broadcast live on BBC One and BBC Three in the UK. I enjoyed this year’s ceremony. I thought it
was more exciting than last year’s edition. What I like about the BAFTAs is that the production team
behind the event always gets it right. The content is sometimes slow and boring
but everything else looks good on TV.
The Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony, dubbed as music’s biggest
night, took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles this past Sunday and
aired live on CBS. I don’t get why The Grammys’ producers haven’t changed
the stage. If I’m not mistaken, the same stage/s design has been used for the
past four years or so. It looked dated and small on TV. Hello, it’s a live
telecast; it must look good on TV.
However, if they made their stage smaller so
that they could fit more people into the arena, then I guess it wasn’t so bad
after all. (Lol, no, I don’t totally agree with that viewpoint).
Another aspect
that might need to change is the host. Like many, I adore LL Cool J. He is so cool, so talented and speaks well but I don’t
think his hosting skills are useful on a show like The Grammys. Don’t get me wrong, this is not an attack on LL Cool J! Many music award ceremonies
are bearable without hosts awkwardly interrupting, introducing, etc. people and
segments.
Only ceremonies like the Golden
Globes and The Oscars need a host.
You want proof? Well, watch The Oscars
on ABC later this month and see how Neil Patrick Harris will liven up the
already dull line-up of proceedings. Oh, you still want more proof? Well, how
about the fact that millions are disappointed that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey
won’t be hosting the next Golden Globes,
huh?
MUSIC SPOT
The music performances at last Sunday’s Grammy
Awards were off the hook. I like the fact that The Grammys always
appreciate all those golden oldie classics and timeless hits and uniquely blend
them with a few of our favorite modern sounds to make the telecast a spectacle.
Did you enjoy Madonna’s performance?
If you didn’t enjoy Madonna’s
performance then you need to sleep (I don’t know what else to say because I
don’t understand why anybody would’ve not enjoyed her performance).
OMG, I
loved it!
She gave us a performance like no other.
There hasn’t been such a
powerful performance on The Grammy
stage in years. She is a rose among thorns. (Don’t ask me who the thorns are
LOL).
Other performances that stood out for me were performances by Rihanna with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, country star Miranda Lambert, Sam Smith with Mary J. Blige,
Sia and the glorious Common with John Legend. I’m sad that Taylor
Swift didn’t perform but I get it. The classy affair was memorable anyways.
MUSIC ALBUM ROCKING OUR WORLD:-
V (Five) by Maroon 5
Songs we like: Maps, Animals, Sugar
DAILY INSPIRATION
How often do we lose sight of the present and its golden opportunities for
rich living? In our early years we fritter away so much of our time in trivia,
in activities with very little lasting meaning, and as we grow older; in the
rush and hurry of our overly-ambitious lives, we seem to have lost our sense of
perspective. Endlessly we worry and strive, watching the passage of time with
dread, suddenly awakening to the truth that life somehow is passing us by.

#SpecialDays
The 14th of February is Valentine’s
Day! In honor of the saint of love Enzer’s
World (EW) has decided to shine
the light on some of our favorite celeb couples.
Prince William & Kate Middleton: - I don’t think there’s any
other royal couple that could top these two. They have the looks, the money,
and an adorable baby boy who was featured on one of GQ’s Best Dressed Lists. Kate is living every little girl’s
dream. Hopefully Will and Kate’s marriage will last, unlike
Charles and Diana’s controversial union.
Beyonce & Jay Z: - Oh I just love this couple. What sets them apart
from the rest is the fact that they dated for about seven years before finally
tying the knot. If that is not an exemplary celeb relationship then I’m a dead goldfish
in one of Richard Branson’s fish
tanks.
Guiliana & Bill Rancic: - I admire these two so much
I wish every couple could be like them. If what’s portrayed in their reality
show is REALITY then I’m all for team G&B.
Plus, how adorable is their little boy Duke?
COUPLE WE WISH COULD GET BACK TOGETHER?
Jason Derulo & Jordin Sparks: - I was so disappointed when Jason and Jordin broke up because I had already mapped out their future together
with two kids living in an affluent suburb on the West Coast, LOL. Sadly, it
seems like it’ll take a miracle for them to get back together because they’ve
been at each other's throats for weeks. I hope they’re happy.

EW ONLINE RECOGNITIONS 2015
#CollaboOfTheYear
#Shortlisted
Song: Break Free
Artist: Ariana Grande ft. Zedd
I’m glad we got to see another side of Ariana! I hope she releases more
electronic tunes, with Zedd (preferably).
Song: Burnin’ Up
Artist: Jessie J ft. 2 Chainz
Jessie killed it. I want to say that 2 Chainz may have been the lucky
rapper who got approached to feature but on the other hand he probably was the
best man for the job considering how well all the songs he featured on
performed on the charts.
More #Shortlisted music videos will be showcased in the upcoming editions
of #TheRoundUp. All the nominated music videos will be revealed after the
current EW-Year has ended.
