Grease (You're the One That I Want) 2/11 *open spoilers*

Anyone else watching this mess?

I’m astounded that a show so dumb can even exist!

I haven’t been, but watched it tonight.

I enjoyed the opening number a lot.

I was baffled by what was accomplished by having all the Sandies and Dannys sing songs from different (mostly Andrew Lloyd Webber–“the world-wide Webber”) musicals.

I kind of felt sorry for the two people who got sent home at the end, and the guy who was “saved”.

I might watch it again, or I might not. It wasn’t greatly appealing, but it was mostly innocuous.

That show is painful to watch.

NOBODY gives a damn if you can sing a song from CATS if you are auditioning for GREASE. It’s all a waste of professional time and money to show an audition like that.

Reality my arse.

What got me was that people were very definitely not hitting all kinds of notes – and the judges were not only not pointing it out, they were praising the singers for doing well. Fingernails on a blackboard, people.

Oh God, when the girl who sang “Buenos Aires*” got to the last few notes, I was cringing and then one of the judges said she nailed the last 4 notes?!?

I hated Jason’s (saved guy) performance. It was a total cheeseball performance, which is pretty telling, considering the cheese factor of the entire show.

I like Chad, but that’s about it. And who started calling Austin “Hot Danny”? In what kind of bizarro world is he hot? He’s too pretty (and not even all THAT pretty) to be considered “hot”. He’s cheesier than Jason’s performance. I. Hate. Him.

*I’m pretty sure I spelled that wrong.

My nine year old daughter is watching the show. She says she wants to see the movie. I saw “Grease” years ago when it was at the theaters, but I can’t remember if its suitable for a nine year old. What "bad’ things (if any) are the people doing in the movie?

Do you want to teach your nine year old daughter the way to get a man is to go from being a nice girl to becoming a slut?
