OK, OK. I know that I’m later than Rizzo with this article, but "Grease" has always been one of my favorite movies. I credit the hopeless romantic in me to the love story of Danny and Sandy. So, as what you can call a “hopelessly devoted” fan of the 1950s cliche high school plot line, I found myself quite upset with the live version that Fox aired on Jan. 31.

1. Sandy Young: from Utah?

I get it. She’s not Olivia Newton-John, she’s not Australian, but she’s an actress, and I am sure Julianne Hough could have managed a decent accent. Also, Young as a last name? Seriously, couldn’t we have kept continuity with the names of the characters? Even if we had to keep her nationality out of the land down under, we could’ve still called her Sandy Olsson.

2. Patty Simcox: more airtime, more annoying

Even Eugene had a larger role than she did in the original, but the producers of Fox’s version had other plans for the obnoxious goodie-two-shoes. She was introduced, as normal, before "Summer Nights," but would then be in many of her own scenes.

3. Speaking of Patty’s obnoxiousness, what was with the cheerleading tryout scene (and the male cheerleaders)?

This just wasn’t a scene in the original. And I don’t like it.

4. As terrible as it sounds, I found issue with the historical continuity and the races presented in the movie.

Disclaimer: I am a member of my school’s cultural diversity club, and I see no issue with showcasing our differences in color. However, Grease is set in the '50s, and "Grease: Live!" is set in 1959. Desegregation of schools was not a thing until February of that year. Even if we were to say that most of the movie is set for the months following February, desegregation didn't solve race issues in schools (they’re still present today), and I am more than confident that neither the T-Birds nor the Pink Ladies would welcome African-Americans into their cliques. That’s just how society was at the time.

5. “Freddy My Love”?

Marty was in a long distance relationship with many more men than just this Freddy character in the original, and this song only played on the jukebox. "Grease" is a production focused on a couple different plot lines, involving many characters both major and minor, but it seemed like Fox was trying to make every. Single. Character. A major one. Just stop, please.

6. Doody is also supposed to be minor

Probably one of the smallest of roles for a T-Bird was Doody, but again, Fox wanted to view everyone as equal, so let’s give him a guitar and let him sing his own song.

7. Wait, where was “Hopelessly Devoted”?

This song is Olivia Newton-John’s most iconic number, and Fox misplaced it. It was seriously strange that Sandy would sing a sample of “Sandra D” during the sleepover at Frenchy’s, especially since that slot is meant for an award-winning love song.

8. Who bodyshamed Olivia Newton-John to the point that Fox changed her order at the diner?

He orders a double burger, a side of fries, and a shake, and she orders… nothing? WHAT? In the original, of course, she orders the same as him. Not to mention they had bad continuity all together in this scene, when the waitress brought out TWO Cokes when Danny had OBVIOUSLY asked for ONE SHAKE with ONE straw.

9. “All I Need Is An Angel”... to turn my TV off

A brand new song was added to the plethora of script changes to "Grease: Live!," and it just doesn’t fit. I feel that “Beauty School Dropout” makes this scene perfect, and putting the new song in there is just too much.

10. “See a penny pick it up and all day you’ll have good luck!”

Jan’s most famous line was cut from the script. Instead, Danny saw a penny and told Kenickie to pick it up, so that he could purposefully slam the car door into his head, giving him a concussion and forcing him to have to let Danny drive. In the original, it was an accident that gave Danny the wheel.

11. Eugene is awarded a coveted T-Bird jacket

Eugene is a nerd. He’s a nerd that is continually bullied by Danny and his friends in both the original movie and in Fox’s live version. However, in "Grease: Live!," the T-Birds find favor with Eugene after he helps them make Greased Lightning supreme enough to beat the Scorpions.

I’ll admit that "Grease: Live!" had its moments, but all in all, it just didn’t live up to the name. I know that you can never remake a movie and expect it to be as good as the first time, but this rendition came nowhere close for me.
