The Voice 4- Top 8 Performance Grades

#1- Judith Hill- That Power (by Will I Am) Judith Hill performing a Will I Am song is like her throwing the white flag into the air and saying “I’m sorry! I’ll do a current song!”. The problem is that Will I Am songs are written for his limited vocal range, and not for someone who is a powerhouse singer like Judith. The song seems really easy to sing, despite what Judith brings to the table. She sings a lot on the same note in sections, because Will I Am is not really a singer. I don’t know why Judith … Continue reading The Voice 4- Top 8 Performance Grades

Dan Harmon Returning To Community?

The latest buzz on the internet is that Dan Harmon has been asked back to Community, after being unceremoniously let go at the end of Season 3, due to a dispute with star Chevy Chase.

The Replacements (16 People Who Almost Snagged Iconic Roles)

Just caught this article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/24/ryan-gosling-hugh-jackman-drive_n_3328690.html?icid=maing-grid7|maing7|dl13|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D318270)  and felt like relaying that info here. Did you know that… Jim Carrey was originally considered for Pirates of the Caribbean, but it would have conflicted with Bruce Almighty. Hugh Jackman was originally supposed to be the Driver in Drive.

Hangover 3 managed only 11.7 million on Thursday, including the midnights, leading many to believe the threequel will fall short of even 50M this weekend. Furious 6 has already made 53.4 million overseas, and will look to continue to add to that sum this weekend. Continue reading ‘Furious 6’ opens to 6.5 mil. midnights
