Sing

GLEE LIVE!!!
Just go back for GLEE LIVE!!! It was truly amazing! I love watching GLEE each week but seeing them live is 100X better. This cast is truly the most talented artists of my generation. They can Act, they can Sing, and they can Dance! From the opening number, their now iconic rendition of Don't Stop Believing, to Born This Way, to the Warblers rocking they hell out of Teenage Dream, every number was even more kick ass then the one before. One of my favorite part's of the show was when Brittany tried to come on to Blaine and Kurt quickly came up to claim his man. Then Kurt asked Blaine to join the McKinley High School GLEE club to which Blaine said YES and then joined them on stage for all the group numbers to follow! Does this mean the rumors are true? Is Blaine changing schools? I sure hope so!

If you can not make it to see GLEE live in concert do not fear, they are taping the tour, backstage craziness, and more for release on the big screen later this summer!!! and in 3D! For now check out the Set List below!

A Man's Gotta Do

HE IS BACK!!! I first broke this news via twitter earlier this week but now it is OFFICIAL... Neil Patrick Harris will return as the host of the Tony Awards!!! YAY. The Emmy Award-winning actor will return as host of the 65th Annual Antoinette Perry "Tony" Awards® on Sunday, June 12th on CBS, taking place this years at the Beacon Theatre in NYC.

I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You

So last night was PROM on GLEE! I loved this episode so much. I would not have pictured a better way for the kids at Mckinley High, there was drama, there were flights, there was great dance songs, people from the past, and a lot of tears. Quinn said it best "You can get married as many times as you want. You only get one shot at your junior prom".

So who went with who? Finn went with Quinn of course. Yet Finn kept a eye on Rachel as she went to prom with her ex-boyfriend Jesse St. James. He is back in town after he flunked out of college and with the goal of being a show-choir consultant. Rachel and Jesse did not go alone but joined Mercedes and Sam as they did "prom on a budget". Puck went with Lauren Artie's tried to win Brittany back as his prom date but she refused. Brittany instead went by herself but planed on dancing with other people's dates, so really she went with everyone. Karofsay and Santana went together as they continued to use each other “beards”. Kurt went with Blaine even though Blaine admitted he went to a high school dance before only to be beaten up for doing so.

There were three top moments of the Prom that shined bright: 1st Karofsky apologizing for bullying Kurt and Kurt forgiving him becuase he could see the pain Karofsky is in as he struggles to come to terms with his sexuality. 2nd Kurt accepting the Prom Queen crown even though he was upset by it at 1st and his now famous line
"Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton,". And lastly the slap heard around the world between Quinn and Rachel. That slap had been coming for two years now. I loved that how even though Rachel had just been slapped by her biggest rival Quinn she still calmed Quinn down and help her fix her make up so she could return to the Prom. It just showed how much they care about each other even they cannot stand each other.

Last but not least best song of the night went to.... Darren Criss as Blaine singing I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You.
