Yum Yum Glee Hunk Harry Shum Jr.

I haven't been watching Glee for sometime now, but I just can't help it when I saw pictures of him and his wonderful abs!  OMG! He not only can sing well, his body is to die for!

He can get shummy with me anytime! =)

My Favorite Songs of 2011 by International Artists: #38 - Chris Colfer - As If We Never Said Goodbye

I actually thought Barbra Streisand's rendition of this song was already the bar where all the other singers have to measure up to - then Chris Colfer of Glee comes out with this stunning version - which always gives me goosebumps! Give this guy an Emmy already - or does he have one already? There is something magical about the way he interprets the showtunes and to think he's still very young! I don't know where in this season he sang this song but independent from that - his version of this classic is just beautiful, to say the least!

My Favorite Songs of 2011: #39 - Glee Cast - Unpretty/I Feel Pretty

Ever since Glee came out, a few of their songs always make it to my personal year end list. This year, two of their songs make it to the final cut. I didn't actually watch this season's Glee due to lack of time - maybe during the Christmas break. Anyhow, when I heard this song, I immediately fell in love with the way they mashed it up! I was also a big fan of the TLC original!

Glee Concert Tour 2011: Gwyneth Paltrow with the Glee Cast Do Forget You

This is one concert I'd like to watch, although something in the back of my mind says that I'm just watching a glorified karaoke show! Anyhow, I would love to see Chris Colfer do what he does best - sing those songs from musicals and of course, maybe see Darren Criss and Cory Monteith show a little skin. I don't really care much for the girls and even if I'm Filipino, I'm not really a fan of Charice.

The guys who watched in Toronto though are quite lucky because Gwyneth Paltrow, one of my most favorite actresses, showed up to sing with them! Bravo!

Glee Cast - As If We Never Said Goodbye (Glee Cast Version)

OMG! I haven't actually seen the episode yet but Chris Colfer's voice here is so beautiful! I got goosebumps listening to it! And I thought Barbra Streisand's version was already the definitive version for this song. Chris takes it to a different plane! I really have to see this episode since I already like two songs from it.

Glee Cast - I Feel Pretty / Unpretty (Glee Cast Version)

I usually end up liking some songs from Glee every season. Finally, I found one for this season! They finally did a TLC song! Cool! I like their version!

My Second Favorite Glee Moment This Season

Thursday is Glee night here in the Philippines and I was lucky to have tuned in that particular Thursday night because soon as I flipped the remote on, who do I see sing in Glee but none other than Gwyneth Paltrow! I've always been a big fan of hers since Sliding Doors and Shakespeare in Love, and not only because she's beautiful and tall, but she also has a good singing voice! Her duet with Huey Lewis, 'Cruisin', in the movie 'Duets', was a big hit here in the Philippines - so we're not surprised to find out that she can really sing.

Once again, I love the energy in their performance of this song, and for Gwyneth to sing a current hit is also cool, especially that it's a censored song, at that!

My Favorite Glee Moment This Season

Glee has two albums in the US Top 10 this week and also gets several nominations in the 2011 Golden Globes, including nods for Lea Michele and Jane Lynch. I haven't really seen every episode this season but for now, this scene is my favorite among all of them - especially the Valerie bit! 

Well, each of the Glee cast is known for their vocal prowess but in this performance, they show off what they can do when they dance! I especially love the energy they exude in this performance and all those tumbling and flipping over each other over such a glee-ful song was just the perfect performance for a 'competition'!
