The Glee Project: Media Roundup!

Interviews with the Glee project winner, Damian McGinty and Samuel Larsen are beginning to surface, so I thought I would put them altogether in a separate post! Damian and Sam have not begun work on Glee yet and still have no idea how they will fit into the storyline. They’ve both been taking acting classes to get ready for their roles.

Samuel talks about narrowly missing getting cast as Sam last season (the part went to Chord Overstreet, who is no longer on the show) and his uncomfortable time competing on American Idol Season 9.

American Idols Live – Wilkes-Barre, PA – RECAP

Stavros attended the Idols Live concert in Wilkes-Barre last night and was kind enough to write up this recap. Enjoy!

We all had our favorites (Pia, James, Scotty), but overall we agreed that everyone this season was pretty great. Once we got there we split up and went to our respective seats. All of the “commercials” they were showing were Idol-related, and eventually the countdown started. Every Idol from Naima to Scotty was shown, with the Top 4 getting deafening applause. Pia garnered a good amount, too.
