GLEE Star Darren Criss Joins StarKid on Stage for Apocalyptour

“StarKid is the blood in my veins.” – Darren Criss
If you’ve never seen GLEE star Darren Criss perform with the rest of his StarKid family then I’m not sure you’ve ever really seen Darren Criss perform. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll find me on the sidelines with my poms poms high in the air cheering for Blaine Anderson, but the joy emanating from Darren when he’s onstage with StarKid is just something different.

Last night, Darren joined members of the theater company that he co-founded when the Apocalyptour took to the stage at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. His GLEE training came in handy as he was plopped right into the show without the luxury of the weeks of music and choreography rehearsal his friends had, but he seemed to do just fine.

Below are some of the musical highlights featuring Darren from last night’s L.A. show.

StarKid fans, stayed tuned to GIVE ME MY REMOTE for our special Team StarKid Video Mailbag as SK members share their video responses to some of YOUR questions!

If you want to catch StarKid on tour, check out dates and get your tickets here! If you’re going to the Boston show on June 9th, let me know…maybe I’ll see you there.

“Not Alone”
Between Jaime’s voice and the adorableness of Lauren’s face, this video killed me.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Premiere Audition Highlights – Daniel Baker, Hampton Williams (‘The Exorcist’), Bree Hafen and Shafeek Westbrook

May 25, 2012 by  
Filed under So You Think You Can Dance, SYTYCD

If you’re a long time reader of GMMR or follow me on Twitter then you know my sincere and deep love for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Of course I think SYTYCD is the best reality show on TV, but for me, it’s one of my favorite shows, period. I (not so) anxiously wait for its return each summer. Last night my beloved show was back and showcased some incredible talent..

When the competition part of the show kicks into gear, Dan (@duckydoestv) and I will be back with our weekly TV Talk Podcast – SYTYCD Edition, but it’s too early to latch on to dancers that might not make it past Vegas. So for now, let’s look at a few of our favorite auditions from last night. If you have other faves, drop us a note in the comments and we might add yours to our list!

Hampton Williams (aka ‘The Exorcist’)
A polarizing audition to say the least, I think you either loved Hampton Williams or you just didn’t get him. Clearly the judges got him. Nigel’s jaw was on the floor, Mary was in full on crying hysterics and Lil C tried to throw imaginary sparkles at him. I don’t know if I want to see Hampton every week on the show, but I was absolutely mesmerized by the story he was able to tell though his dancing. Wow! If nothing else, his performance gave us the quote of the night (if not the season) from Lil C – “Don’t take this the wrong way but I want to kick you in your face right now.” Exactly.

Bree Hafen
Stay at home mom of two, Bree Hafen, had us all scratching our heads – how the hell does she find the time to keep her dancing up at this high of a level with two munchkins running around? She was impressive to say the least. But it was her kids that stole the show. If you haven’t seen it, I don’t want to spoil it for you, but when her son walked on to the stage and did what he did, I was a wreck. Oh legit tears and all. And her adorable little girl? She had some serious dance intuition for someone still in diapers. Expect to see her on the finale in some capacity at the end of the summer.

Comments Off on DUETS: Robin Thicke and His Partners Talk About the New Series

Another singing “superstar” taking on ABC’s new reality competition DUETS? Robin Thicke!

The “Lost Without U” singer picked two amateurs (their names are after the jump in case you want to be spoiler-free) to make up his team and hopefully take him all the way to the end of the competition, and last week, he sat down with reporters — and the two singers he chose to put on his team — to talk about the new series, why he’s doing the show and more…

DUETS: Kelly Clarkson, Jason Farol, and Jordan Meredith Talk About the New Singing Competition

Comments Off on DUETS: Kelly Clarkson, Jason Farol, and Jordan Meredith Talk About the New Singing Competition

At this point, can we all just agree that Kelly Clarkson is the queen of reality singing shows?

Let’s look at the evidence:

1) She won the first season of AMERICAN IDOL. (And many argue she was the best winner the show has ever produced.)

2) When she helped Blake Shelton mentor a few of his contestants on THE VOICE, one of the singers just happened to be eventual winner Jermaine Paul.

3) She’s now one of four “superstar” (ABC’s term) singers who will be taking part of the new reality series, DUETS, where famous recording artists pair up with amateurs and compete with them to become the last standing duet team.

And if she wins DUETS, there will be no contesting her title at all, right?

Clarkson sat down with reporters — along with Jason Farol and Jordan Meredith, the two contestants she’ll be singing with during the competition — to talk about the new show, what drew her to it, and more…
