The REAL Nellie

"I'm thinking about stepping my game up."

I know a lot of people are going to hate me for this, but I have accepted Nellie's departure. It's not that I didn't grow to love her, it's more like... I don't think that she was competing against the other contenders. It's obvious that her biggest fight was with herself. And that is OK. Nellie literally has a heaven-sent voice; I would never dispute that. I just think that some of the other contenders are stronger performers.
None of what I am saying is fact; merely just opinions from yours truly. Nellie could have ended up not getting eliminated and winning if she was given more chances. I usually trust Ryan Murphy's judgement, though. That is all.


As soon as the episode started, she even said she KNEW she wasn't doing great the past few weeks, and she even touched on her confidence issue. But it was theatricality week! I had faith in her!


Nellie in the homework assignment wasn't amazing, but it was totally Nellie. I'm not a huge fan of show tunes to begin with, believe it or not. BOOM. So, all of the contenders were assigned various Pop/Rock icons for the "When I Grow Up" video. And Nellie was given Ms. Britney Spears.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"WHHYYY do they keep torturing me?! Have I said this yet? I don't DO sultry!!"

Oh, but honey... YOU DO. And from what I remember, you did it well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you pretty much owned the "Moves/Milkshake" video. 


And I think Nellie did well in "When I Grow Up". I also think that they did MANY shots to get it right, but still. That's what I would say is one of her biggest problems. Sometimes it takes a lot for her to get it together, and everyone has to tell her what to do/ how to perform her character, but it always comes through in the end. 

Let's talk about her last chance performance.


Which was AMAZING. All three of her LCPs were so beautiful. There is NO doubt about that. Why, though? Why are Nellie's last chance performances always so much more real and emotional and moving than her performances in the videos? It's really very simple. She IS the stage. That's where she doesn't have to fake who she is. That's where she can truly be herself and showcase her brilliant voice. This is where we get to see the real Nellie; the Nellie we love and will always root for. 


But, unfortunately, Ryan didn't see a future for her on The Glee Project. We all know this is not the end of her road, at all. This girl is going to light up the world one day. I'm just happy we all got to see the start of her journey. Here's to Nellie!

"Hey bitches!"

"SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

And then this happened....


And this...

"SUP."

FUCKING MOTHER FUCKING JANE FUCKING LYNCH. Needless to say, this woman is AMAZING.

I guess there's a first time for everything...

Can I start off this post by saying "I absolutely despised Blake from the second I laid eyes on him in the casting episode", without sounding like a huge douchebag?

Probably not, but I digress.

"I'm so typical, it's painful."

Since day one, I have been waiting for Blake to do something, anything, that stands out. It has never happened. The mentors fucking worship the ground he walks on, and I DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND IT, at all. Finally, in Adaptability, they finally found something they didn't like. Finally.


Do I have to mention he pretty much spoke his way through this song? The Glee Project blatantly proved that this song should never be performed by men, EVER AGAIN. I would have to say that if they were giving out awards for "Worst Homework Assignment Performance", Blake would have been handed that plaque before the song was even over. 

"Wait.. that sucked?!"

I'm not saying that I think Blake is an atrocious performer or anything, it was just that he is so... normal, it's unbearable. But, sometimes, there's a moment for everyone, where they really start to shine. And not just for so obviously being the poster child for what the world thinks young men should look like.


When Blake and Nellie were paired up to sing together, I figured there was no way he could stand out while singing such a powerful jam with NELLIE, who gives me the goosebumps every time she opens her mouth to sing. But, there IS a first time for everything.


For the first time ever, Blake really struck a chord in me. This was literally MOVING. I find it to be such an odd feeling when your perception of somebody completely turns around. Not only did he BEAT THE SHIT out of this song, but I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. They were both amazeballs. No question about it.


When certain contenders have to do last chance performances, it is their only hope for changing minds. This week, Blake did that for me. I never thought I'd be a fan of his, but he proved himself. Everything about this performance was solid gold. For the first time ever, I'm finding myself excited to see Blake in the next episode. But, I'm sure he'll do something to turn me off again.  We will see! Until next time, bitches!

Moves Like Nellie

WHOA, NELLIE. Seriously! I watched this video, and I was all like, "WHO IS THAT GIRL?!" Nellie made an unabridged transformation from vulnerability week to sexuality week, and the proof is in this video. From her "I'm terrified to make a fool of myself" rant, to her distinguished sexual awakening, Nellie proves that there are more sides to her than we may have thought.

Take a look.


Right? Am I still gay? Yes. Yes I am. Thanks, Michael, for making that clear.


He had the best view, too.


Pssst, girl. Don't we all?

Reason #459896789 why I love Lily Mae.

I also really loved Ali, Aylin, and Shanna in this video. Yes, I said Shanna.


Now that's sex. Thanks, kids! Keep checkin' back and make sure you follow me on twitter!

Keep Holding On

Before I start rolling, a quick recap of last week:

"You guys all suck."

"Wait... what?!"

And that's what you missed on The Glee Project.


Alright, so Robbie came in to tell everyone this week's theme, which was Vulnerability, and everyone jumped up and cheered like he said "FREE BEER" or something. Calm down, bros. We all know you all will be crying like nine year olds by the end of this episode.

"Oh... you like that?"

"I can do anything, bitch. Don't you know that by now?"

Robbie tells them their homework song, and Charlie's like,

"All I hear in my head is dubstep... all the time."

No, Sir Charles. "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson. Get wit it. So Robbie goes on to say that there will be no choreography this week. THANK GOD. My eyes are still burning from last week. And, he says the guest mentor will be someone who "wrote the book on vulnerability". 

"OMG! Chris Colfer wrote a book!"

Yes, he did, Abraham. If, by any SMALL chance, anyone didn't know that you're gay.... Trust me, they do now.

"My goal for this week is to keep doing what I've been doing. Make out with everybody here."

While they're deciding on lines for the homework assignment, I wanted to shoot myself. Mario, once again, picks a fight with someone. Clearly this group can't make decisions together. Assign the lines like you did on Season One! That was so much easier/less irritating. 

"My competitive edge is sharp like a knife. And I will cut you with it to get what I want."


So Cory was the guest mentor for this episode, and I was kind of surprised. I knew before I watched this episode that it was going to be him, but still. When it comes to vulnerability on Glee, I would've expected someone like Chris or even Naya; people whose characters that have underwent serious breakthroughs. I absolutely love Cory, but I think they could have went with someone else.


The homework assignment was aight. I felt like some of the contenders' performances were a little forced. Nellie won, obvi. I mean, look at that emotion! Beautiful. If I were Cory, I would've picked her, too. And did anyone else find it a little unsettling how Aylin was holding Ali? No? Just me? 

Ok, moving on...

Since there was no choreography this week, the beautiful and talented Erik White came in to discuss bullying, which is the central idea for the music video, "Everybody Hurts" by REM. 


He asked them to talk about their experiences with bullying.


Everybody cried. The end.

Everyone killed it in the recording studio; except for Ali, (according to Nikki). But don't worry my booboo, I still gotz mad love for you! 

"I'm way too giddy to get all emotional and shit."

Meanwhile, at the video shoot...


Ali's face here is PRICELESS! I think I'm in love. Will you marry me? I'd totez go straight for you, lady.


Blake, GET YA DIRTY HANDS OFF MY MANZ! But yeah, good acting. I think they all secretly hate each other. The acting is TOO real.


Lily is one fierce bitch. The whole video was pretty awesome. I was trying to find a good link so I could post it here, but I can't! Sorry, kids! Now, onto the reveal of the bottom three and the last chance performances! EEEK!


Blake got called back, obviously, because the mentors fucking love him. I really don't get it. I'm not saying he's horrible or anything, but I still think most of them are better performers than him. I hope that he changes my mind at some point this season. Until then, STFU.


And why the hell was everybody gettin' all up on Charlie for taking Mario's walking stick at the shoot?
A) They used it in the video, soooo, wtf?
B) The theme for the video was "bullying", and a bully would totally do that.
C) Nobody yelled at Lily when she threw Aylin on the ground, and that's "dangerous", too.

Whatevz.

"Just so y'allz know, none o' y'allz is ready."

"What, bitch? Who you talkin' to?"


The bottom three: Lily Mae, Mario, and Charlie. WHY LILY?! Can anyone just show my girl some love, please?

Last chance performances.


Lily was first, and she sang "Mercy" by Duffy and ABSOLUTELY blew it out of the water. Bravo, Lily, bravo.


Charlie sang "Fix You" by Coldplay for his last chance performance. It was good. I think his timing and pitch were SLIGHTLY off, but no big deal. Ryan loved it, I guess that's what matters. I prefer Matthew Morrison's version.

And last, but not least, was Mario,


who sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". It was good, but once again, I prefer Matthew Morrison's version! No hate, all love.

And can these kids stop crying please? ENOUGH WITH THE TEARS! I get that everyone is super emotional and being on Glee is at stake, but c'mon! There's a fine line between vulnerability and weakness. 

And Mario, bro. Stop being so self righteous! Damn, kid! You shouldn't point out other people's flaws just because you got called out. Even my boyfriend agrees!

"SHUTTTT UPPPPPPPP!"

And, in the end, Ryan still shocks me with how unpredictable he is.


Now everyone gets to keep holdin' on. Congratulations, bitches!
