Glee Live: Thoughts & Concerns
May. 12th, 2011 08:45 pmLet's just take a walk through my (scary) thought process with the help of smilies:
Glee Live dates are announced. Have friends that want to go:
They announce Darren is joining the tour:
They announce The Warblers will be joining Darren on the tour:
The Warblers join Darren on some talk show appearances:
Dominic replies to someone inquiring that he was not invited to be part of the tour:
I am now very concerned that the Darren/Blaine/Dalton/Whatever portions of the evening are going to be completely suck ass. Dominic was one of the few Warblers that actually had a name and lines. To not invite him is, in my opinion, a completely douche move. I understand they couldn't invite everyone (salary, lodging & other such logistics). But Dominic? Really?
And then getting back to the Warblers' recent talk show appearances - it's been the boys lip syncing to the Beelzebubs tracks and dancing while Darren sings live. And it sounds terrible. It just does. You can tell the backing vocals are prerecorded and honestly, on some of those songs, Darren needs some help. Teenage Dream and Hey, Soul Sister are really high and singing to a prerecorded track means they can't adjust if he's having an off day or anything. He's just going to be stuck and he's going to wreck his voice and I'm very worried.
But, see, the thing is, those boys can SING. Like, for real. They're all absolutely amazing. And I know that trying to get an 8 part harmony a capella arrangement figured out isn't exactly easy. But you know what? If you gave them the time and the tools they needed? They could do it. They would do it. Because they are so excited and thrilled and just happy to be even the smallest part of the Glee Machine. Let them go work with the 'Bubs for a month or something before the tour starts. They would GET IT. I know they would. And that's I think one of the biggest disappointments about this whole thing to me.
I don't know... I just have a really bad feeling it's going to suck and disappoint A LOT of people.
