Am I The Only One Who Didn't Enjoy "Grease Live"?

Am I The Only One Who Didn't Enjoy "Grease Live"?

"Grease" is the word. But "Grease Live" sure wasn't. When I think of "Grease," I think of poodle skirts, '50s diners, and the T-Birds. "Grease" is a classic. And you don't just mess up a classic. But for me, Fox messed it up big time. Here are just some of the reasons why.

1. Sandy is from Utah.

I'm sorry, but no. Sandy is not from Utah. The Sandy I know and love is from Australia. Yes, I know that they had to work with Juliannne Hough, and I know she isn't Australian, but they could have at least tried. I mean, come on. Utah!? No one would meet a hunk like Danny Zuko in plain, old Utah.

2. Boyz 2 Men as Teen Angel.

No. Just no. When I think of Teen Angel, I think of Frankie Avalon in an all white suit coming down those stairs. Not a middle aged R&B vocal group.

3. Girls during "Grease Lighting."

No, m'am. "Grease Lighting" is supposed to be all about the boys. No girl should ever be in "Grease Lighting." Especially, girls in tight leather body suits.

4. Don't even get me started on Marty.

Nope. Not even gonna talk about it.

I did enjoy Aaron Tveit as Danny. He can sing and dance with the best of them. All in all, "Grease Live" just wasn't for me. "Grease Live" was a rat. It was a flea on a rat. Worse than that, it was an amoeba on a flea on a rat.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
