We've been GLEE'd!


Finally a new series to follow since all our favorite series are currently on hiatus. Enter Glee, a comedy on set in the 00s about aspiring underdogs and that basic concept of wanting to be good at something on your own. Hmmm, sounds like one of those teen tv series back in the 80s/90s huh? Wait! It's not quite High School Musical,if that's what you're thinking. The show follows an alumnus who returns to his former high school as a teacher after which he convinces the principal to let him take over the Glee club.OK sounds cheesy, I know. You'll have to watch the pilot at least to appreciate the show. Don't worry, the pacing is fast enough that you feel like you've done 3 episodes already.

"From Ryan Murphy, the creator of "Nip/Tuck," comes GLEE, a new comedy for the aspiring underdog in all of us.

The series follows an optimistic teacher, WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison), who - against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach - attempts to save McKinley High's Glee Club from obscurity, while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential. It's a tall order when the brightest stars of the group include KURT (Chris Colfer), a soprano who hits a high note in fashion; MERCEDES (Amber Riley), a larger-than-life diva with a voice to match; ARTIE (Kevin McHale), a geeky guitarist who rocks and rolls; and TINA (Jenna Ushkowitz), a punk rocker who hides behind her stutter and blue hair extensions.


Will's only hope lies with two true talents: RACHEL BERRY (Lea Michele), a self-proclaimed star who is convinced that MySpace and show choir and are her tickets to fame; and FINN HUDSON (Cory Monteith), the popular high school quarterback with movie star looks who must protect his reputation from his holier-than-thou girlfriend and "Cheerios" head cheerleader, QUINN (Dianna Agron), and his arrogant football teammate, PUCK (Mark Salling).
Will is determined to do whatever it takes to make Glee great again, but his only ally is fellow teacher and germaphobe EMMA PILLSBURY (Jayma Mays). Everyone else around him thinks he's nuts - from his tough-as-nails wife TERRI SCHUESTER (Jessalyn Gilsig) to McKinley's scheming cheerleading coach SUE SYLVESTER (Jane Lynch) - but he's out to prove them wrong.


Featuring a soundtrack of hit songs from past and present, GLEE is produced by Ryan Murphy Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are co-creators of the series. Murphy, Falchuk and Dante Di Loreto serve as executive producers, while Ian Brennan serves as co-executive producer. Murphy directed the pilot. "

University of Visayas Chorale shines in National Choral Competition


CEBU, Philippines - Cebu’s pride, the University of the Visayas Chorale, won top awards at the first-ever Cultural Center of the Philippines National Choral Competition held last August 18 to 22.

From among 22 contenders, the UV Chorale emerged as one of only two groups that bagged three gold certificates from all the categories they were entered—Mixed Voice, Musica Sacra and Folk.

The other choir was Imusicapella, a seasoned choir made of professionals from Imus, Cavite. Gold certificates were awarded to choirs that accumulated the highest marks (or a total of 85-100 points) from the board of judges.

For the Folk category, Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology’s Octava Choral Society, Tarlac State University Choir and Himig Sanghaya Chorale also got gold certificates.

Apart from the certificates, the winners also received cash prizes.

“For us, the CCP contest was as tough as the international competitions we had, because we all know that Filipino choirs are the best in the world,” said choir member Sherwin Sulla.

For their big win, the UV Chorale and Imusicapella were given the center stage at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater) on awards night last Saturday for a grand closing concert.

UVC choir director Anna Piquero, for her part, said that more than just the awards, their successful participation in the CCP competition goes to show that “we somehow achieved our goal in making the UVC’s presence felt in the national choral scene.”

The Manila-based choirmaster and former Philippine Madrigal singer enthused that “if there was a prize that came from the public, the UVC would have probably won it.”

Piquero added, “You should have seen the way the audience gathered around them every after their performance. And the composers fell in love with them. Halos lahat ng nag-describe sa kanila sinasabi ay ‘elegant,’ magaling ang programming at entertaining. Cebuanos really have that inimitable charm as performers.”

Award-winning Cebuano conductor Dennis Gregory Sugarol of the Mandaue Children’s Choir also said, “[It was] truly a great experience listening to the group… proud to be Cebuano.”

Participating choirs included Anima Christi Chorale, Coro Basilica de Malolos, Coro Tomasino, UPLB Choral Ensemble, University of the Philippines Medicine Choir, UP Vocal Ensemble, among others.

The international set of jurors came from Indonesia, Singapore, Germany and the Philippines. The event also marked the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ 40th anniversary.

After the CCP competition, the UV Chorale is looking to participate in another international competition in Busan, South Korea come November and in Europe next year. — Nathalie M. Tomada, Entertainment Editor/NLQ (THE FREEMAN)
