You know the scene in My Best Friend's Wedding when the dude pretending to be with Julia Roberts breaks into song while smack in the middle of a speech, and as Hollywood would have it, the whole table joins in? The peeps below made the scene a little less Hollywood and a little more Broadway. They had a fantastic performance, but I wanna know how everyone in attendance at this wedding (even the father of the groom!) had a voice fit for singing.
Improv Everywhere is known for busting out comedic performances in unlikely locations, so they staged a musical — in a shopping mall food court. It all started with the Hot Dog on a Stick girl crying over spilled lemonade and ended with the whole food court triumphantly singing about napkin shortage. Hungry patrons, clueless that the joke was on them, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Before all the fame, fortune, eating disorders, curious chemical disturbances, and weekly Simon Cowell bashings, Paula Abdul was an average cutie pie with amazing vocal in-ability. Just goes to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Last night on the American Music Awards, Adam Lambert gyrated along dancers dressed in S&M inspired costumes. At one point, the American Idol alum pulled a dancer's face toward his crotch. Of course, not everyone was entertained — the spectacle was edited from the West Coast broadcast.
There's something to be said about setting the mood when you're about to get busy with your boyfriend. Some people like candles, others like bubble baths, and a lot of people like setting the scene with music in the background.
I actually prefer no music whatsoever, but if it's quiet enough and has no words, then I'm cool with it.
One glimpse at the top-25 tracks in your iTunes can tell a lot about you. A 2006 study revealed music is the most popular topic of conversation in the first six weeks of platonic and romantic relationships, surpassing books, movies, TV, football, and clothes.
Introversion and extroversion are perhaps the two characteristics that most affect what music people tune into.
When I saw that Nerve.com put together a list of the 50 sexiest music videos of all time, my first thought was: Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" better be on there! Isaak's tribute to steamy beach lovin' indeed made the list, as did many other old standbys, including "Justify My Love" by Madonna and "Cryin'" by Aerosmith.
The list also features other sexy vids I'd totally forgotten about.
Just when you thought we were finished with the Christian Bale freakout comes this genius music video for The Mae Shi's "R U Professional." The catchy dance number pays homage to the "swing kid with a violent streak" with excerpts from Bale's famous onset explosion and lyrics like "newsies will get you tonight!" The video features clips from his movies — including Bale eating a live snake and running naked with a chain saw — that kinda help you understand how the dude got so extreme.
If Steve Guttenberg can't stop the music, it must truly be unstoppable. In possibly the best cinematic masterpiece I've stumbled upon since the film based on Charlie Sheen's poetry, Can't Stop the Music is the pseudo-autobiographical rags to riches tale of the Village People, starring the real-life band members and Guttenberg as Jack.
According to the plot description at SteveGuttenberg.com:
Samantha, a former model, comes to the aid of her roommate Jack, an aspiring songwriter who's vowed to stay celibate until he achieves musical success.
