DARREN CRISS: Out Magazine

Darren Criss was on the cover of Out magazine which hits stands this weekend:

Not the best cover…kind of an odd angle. :-/  BUT, some of the pics from INSIDE the magazine are QUITE the opposite:

Who would’ve thought “Little Ole Blaine” had a body like this:

I certainly wasn’t expecting THAT!  I’m impressed!

These pics definitely show you a BIT of a different side of the Darren (or I should say Blaine) we see on Glee. Umm…KINDA looking for ward to Tuesday’s episode even MORE now. Ha!

AMERICAN IDOL 2/17/11: Hollywood Week – Solo Round

I didn’t have a chance to blog about Hollywood Week’s Group Round last night, but tonight was the last solo round of Hollywood Week.

Here are the standouts for me:

JOHN WAYNE SCHULZ

• This guy may not have the STRONGEST voice, but there’s something about him I really like!  There’s just this real sincerity and genuineness that he gives off.  Doesn’t hurt to have his mom in the audience adoring him…

JACEE BADEAUX

• I felt so bad for Jacee in the group round…that his initial group DUMPED him because he “didn’t fit the vibe” of their group?!  Give me a break!  Jacee has an innocence about him that is so sweet.  And he really DOES have a nice voice!

ROBBIE ROSEN

• I don’t know if I like a guy singing Sara Bareilles’ “Gravity,” but…gotta give Robbie props for what he did with the song.  Very “musical” and creative.  He at least showed off his “artistry.”

LAUREN ALAINA

• Lauren is STILL my favorite in this competition up until this point.  Her voice and stage presence is GREAT, and she’s very likable.  Her personality is very cute and sweet.  I was a BIT disappointed that she sang “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing” AGAIN (she sang it in her audition)…but only because I really wanted to hear her sing something else!  I wanted to hear how great she would sound singing something else!
• Amazingly, although I STILL don’t like her fashion sense/style, because her voice is so good and the way she commands the stage at her age (SHE’S ONLY FIFTEEN YEARS OLD!) is awesome…I’m actually finding myself overlooking the outfits.   FOR NOW.  I still think she needs to tone her look down a bit so she can appeal to more demographics…if she wants to win this thing!

Next week they’re doing what looks like a new Las Vegas round…where they have to tackle The Beatles.  Interesting.  THIS IS NEW.  We shall see how that goes…

GLEE: Song Clips – 2.14 “Blame It On The Alcohol” *SPOILER*

Here are song snippets from next week’s Glee episode.

INTERESTING songs…not the most exciting.  But I guess consdering the content of the episode (alcohol and party party!), the song choices make sense…

Enjoy!

Umm…”Don’t You Want Me“…Raine?! (Rachel & Blaine?!)  Am I right?
