Telephone

I have never in my wildest dreams imagined a video quite like this one. Lady Gaga & Beyonce's Telephone. The strangest, wildest, most far-out nine minutes and 33 seconds of my day. Nay, my life.

Butch lesbians. Prison. Yellow hair. Dancing, cooking gays. Wonder Woman. "Let's Make A Sandwich." Costumes. Pussy Wagon. Diners. Hair shaped like a phone. Jai Rodriguez. Choreography.

Please check it out in HD, it's totally worth the wait for it to load.

Things I Love About Glee / Crush Of The Day: Mark Salling

If you haven't yet caught an episode of Glee, you must do so immediately. Go to Hulu and check it out--you will not regret it.

The show is magic. It follows the ups and downs of a high school glee club, complete with music video-like performances, musical theatre fierceness, hot guys, great belting, football (yeah, seriously), teen pregnancy, desperate housewives, etc., etc.

Here are my favorite things about the most recent episode:

1. Kurt's coming out scene with his dad... Super emotional, super real.

2. "Single Ladies" on the football field.

3. Will Schuster.

4. Lima, OH. "I don't want to be a Lima Loser!"

5. Rachel singing Celine Dion's "Taking Chances."

6. Crush of the Day Mark Salling. See below.

Australian Ruggers: Fierce

The This is Oz campaign is aimed at educating Australians about homosexuality, diversity, and the need for acceptance. All kinds of people have recently posted photos of themselves holding handwritten signs encouraging diversity in their specific fields, including members of The Wallabies, an Australian rugby team. Pretty awesome, in my opinion.

OMG amazing!!!

It's finally here--The Musical Theatre Dictionary... It answers all of your MT questions. A few of my favorites:

Belting and Bleeding- verb- When a person's belt is so high and loud that it sounds painful but is executed with completely healthy vocal production. Although a somewhat misleading name, belting and bleeding is often desired for powerful vocals. See Marla Mindelle/Kate Pazakis.
1. As obsessed as I am with Power Mixers, I still die for belting and bleeding.
2. If this girl playing Eva Peron isn't belting and bleeding, I'm leaving during intermish.

"Effie We All Got Pain"-saying- Response to a costar when he/she is throwing tons of diva comments your way. A reference to the musical Dreamgirls when Effie White's laundry-lists of excuses are met with this statement. The point being: you have struggles, so do we.
Diva: My Laduca Strap broke, I'm not warm yet, and if they make me wear this bullshit costume I'm going to flip.
Smart Actor: Effie, we all got pain.

Fiercey- noun- The embodiment of ferocity.

1. Caissie Levy is such the new fiercey of Broadway.
2. I will do whatever it takes to be a fiercey, even if that means singing soprano.

Pingy- adjective- The fantastic result of ultra-forward mask placement. The term is derived from the resonant sound and sped of a person's vibrato. Imagine a pinball being tossed around a pinball machine at fast pace: that's pingy. (We get extra points for making you want to listen to Tommy)
Her belt is so pingy, her placement can cut diamonds.

Whistle Tone-verb- The rare gift of singing notes above the soprano high C. This random-act-of-fierceness is almost always an expensive way of showcasing one's self. Whistle tones are almost always described as savage.
MT: I cannot believe his savage whistle tones. He got those notes past a G7.

Work!-compliment- This is a phrase used as a compliment shouted during/after a performance (preferably in a cabaret setting.) This phrase, borrowed from the Fashion World, is a truncated version of the phrase "You Better Work!" Literally meaning "do work" or "you are working the hell out of this song", this phrase carries a certain weight of tranny sass.
Gay MT Boy: Soooo fi-yerce! WORK!

1000 Visitors!!!

Congrats to me and The Fierce Life, for today we achieved our goal of having 1000 readers.  :)

I'd like to have twice that in the next four months, so keep reading!  And feel free to comment whenever you're so moved.

'Preciate ya.

I can't wait!!!

How fabulous!  This has to be the fantasy of millions of gays out there...

Christina Aguilera, already signed on to star in her first feature film, Burlesque, will have Cher as a costar!  That's right, Xtina and Cher in the same movie, and it's about burlesque dancing.  Pretty great, right?

Not too many other details exist, but the movie should be released sometime in 2011.  I can't wait!

Enjoy!

Ladies and gentleman, for your viewing pleasure...  The Chonga Girls.

Need plans for Sunday?

...then tune in to the Hallmark channel for a 19-hour tribute to the late, great Bea Arthur.  A Golden Girls marathon is in the works, and I guarantee it will be fierce.

Libby is in TC this weekend, so I have a feeling I will be alone watching that great lady (and a few other great ladies)...

Just saying...

I like this picture of the President and Mrs. Obama.  There's just something really nice about it, and the fact that this man (and this woman) are leading our country right now.

Too Many Divas Make Matt a Fierce Boy

I would so love to see Jennifer Hudson in concert, and this is just one small reason why.

At a recent concert in Atlanta, J Hud invited the legendary Jennifer Holiday on stage to perform the song that has trademarked both of their careers, "And I Am Telling You."

I don't know what is better: the performance itself or the gays in the background constantly yelling "oh my God oh my God!"  

It's unreal.

Crush of the Day: Adam Lambert (believe it)

He's fierce.  I mean, he's really, really, really fierce.  

I have heard and read all the hype the last few weeks about this apparent American Idol super-contestant, but I wasn't sure what to believe.  I finally caught an episode of Idol tonight and all I can say is, well, the hype is true.  Adam Lambert is unlike any other contestant in American Idol's history; it's difficult to say exactly why, but it's some kind of unique combination of an incredible voice, wicked style, a great face, and a true knack for performing.  And a lot of eyeliner.

Anyhow, tonight he sang an electro-rock version of "Born To Be Wild," and it was a little reminiscent of David Cook's "Billie Jean" from last season, only his voice is on a totally different level.  The kid can croon, rock, give you soul, and hit some insane notes.  He has it all vocally, and that's not the only thing he's got...  Also fierce was when he went up to the back up singers and gave them some props and camera time--something that never happens on Idol. That shows that he truly understands the art; a singer is nothing without his band and his back-ups!  

I'm pretty sure he's going to win this season...  I hope so.  I can see him going places.  Like into my bedroom.

Want to know more?

Here is his Myspace.

Here is official American Idol page.

Here is The Hollywood Gossip's page about him.

And below are a few more pics.

FAME is coming!!!

This trailer isn't amazing...  But it's good.  I'm not sure how I feel about the re-vamping of the title song, but the dancing looks good, and so does "Out Here On My Own."

Anyways, check out the trailer from the forthcoming remake of Fame.

Xtina has never left!!!

What a fierce pic!  I am so excited for Christina Aguilera's next album, due to drop this summer.   ???

I'm not sure what this pic is for, but it's great!!!

Things Paris Loves...

Great clip.  She loves a lot of things, right?

Thanks to Kim for the tip!  Loves it.

Another reason why IKEA is fierce.

The most recent IKEA catalogue and ad campaign is showcasing what it means to be a family in this day and age, complete with same-sex couples.  The slogan is this: "Family life is changing...  Welcome to the new era."

After the release of the catalogue, a group of Catholic activists (dare I say extremists?) began a letter-writing campaign to protest the inclusion of a homosexual couple in the company's publications.  In a quick, skillful, well-worded, and applaudable response, IKEA had this to say: "Homosexuality is one of the essential elements of living in contemporary society."

Congrats to IKEA for standing up for the truth and what they believe in.

Homecoming Drag Queen

Students at George Mason University recently elected their homecoming queen--and it's a guy!

Reann Ballslee, a drag queen slash student, was honored by her peers with the crown.

Two questions: 

1. Why is there a homecoming in February?  

2. Who was elected homecoming king?

Work it out, girl, you're fierce.

JHud is back and better than EVER!

Since her comeback performance at the Superbowl (which was actually after the Patti Labelle concert), Jennifer Hudson has been tearing it up!  I'm such a big fan, and I have been from day one.

This first clip is her performance at the Grammy awards last week...  It's her new single titled, "You Pulled Me Through," and it's absolutely stunning.

Next, Jennifer was invited to sing for Muhammed Ali at the 40th Annual NAACP Awards.

There's really no other word to describe her.  She's fierce.

The Singing Hoosiers are FIERCE!

Once again, I'm a proud to be an alum of the Singing Hoosiers.  I've noticed on Facebook for the past few days that some Hoosier friends' statuses have been referring to a commercial...  Well, I finally found it!  

I never saw this ad during the holiday season, but it's super cute.  

Anyways, it's the Singing Hoosiers singing "We Need A Little Christmas" for a Walmart holiday ad; the recording is from a concert with the Cincinnati Pops circa a few years before I was in the group.
