Beyonce Slays CMAs With The Dixie Chicks

Beyonce definitely made a statement last night at the CMAs. She, along with The Dixie Chicks performed Beyonce's single Daddy Lessons. Get your toes tappin and check out the video below!

Thoughts: Wow...Just Wow! I don't know about you, but I did not see that coming. First off, Beyonce bursts into the room, gives The Dixie Chicks their country fame back, and takes some for herself. I'm kind of convinced Beyonce can do about anything at this point! 

Personally, when I first heard about this happening, I was understandingly skeptical, but I'm currently over here eating my words like popcorn at the movies. From top to bottom, this was a solid performance that I'm sure everyone is going to be talking about for the next week or so!

Also, Kenny Chesney needed to wipe that smug look off his face. Just saying!

Hey There Blog! It's Been A Bit!

(I'm on the right btw)

Hey there blog readers,

So after being away from this blog for over a year, I've decided to revisit and start typing up blogs again! A lot has changed for me in the past year, moving from Orlando to Chicago and taking on an entirely new city has been a challenge, but a very rewarding challenge to say the least. I'm now up here, blogging away, with the love of my life Tyler.

Life has a funny way of changing things, so let's see where this one takes me.

Scream Queens: Ice Cream Becomes a Banana Split

Time to head back to our favorite sorority!  Scream Queens is back this week and it's official:  Dean Munsch and Gigi are moving into the house!  The two ladies have decided to move in keep an eye on things.

Other than the two ladies joining the unimpressed Chanel, the episode entitled "Chainsaw" gives us some glorious tastes and scenes of the Red Devil using one...and Zayday, which was hilarious.

Enough of my randomness, let's focus on the recap!  This episode shows us that the students of the university are making sure people know that they are not a part of KKT, by holding a march and showing the killer that they are in no way affiliated.  Munsch then announces that the Red Devil will no longer by the mascot and it is now an ice cream cone.  But the cone then leads to the most gruesome murder of the show in my opinion.

That's right, the ice cream cone gets cut in half!  Good lord that was gory, shocking and brilliant!

Now it's time for a breakdown:

My favorite character: Denise Hemphill believes that Zayday is the killer.  She saw a tweet that Zayday sent to the writer of How To Get Away With Murder that spoke of her liking how killers worked in cohoots.

#Cahoots may a thing as we say the members of Chad Radwell's fraternity fight two chainsaw wielding Red Devils in an attempt to gain some revenge for Boone's death in an amazing Backstreet Boys fight sequence.  The big thing Denise found on Zayday though is that she had a chainsaw under her bed.  Zayday claimed her grandmother sent it to her, which Denise just believes...I love Denise Hemphill.

Chanel needs a new minion.  But who would be willing to do this?  Why Chanel #6 obviously.  Lea Michele goes from brace to hottie in this episode.  We all knew it was coming!

Chanel #3 gets some character and becomes "alibuddies" with Sam.  This seems to be like Brittany and Santana from Glee but poorly acted and written.

Chanel #2 is still posting pics on her Instagram from an unknown location.  But Denise discovers the blood stains in her room and her tweet leading her to explain to Grace and Zayday how she's been murdered...or maybe not.  

The episode ends with Dean Munsch forcing Gigi out of their shared room with loud murder noises.  Gigi leaves to sleep on the couch and meets a chainsaw wielding Red Devil.  

Gigi with little help from Wes' attempted rescue, saves herself with a pretty impressive kick.  When she and Wes go to check on the Devil who had flown behind the couch, he was gone, leaving only his chainsaw behind.  From there Munsch runs downstairs to check on them, Wes accuses her of being the killer and she looks stunned.

This episode was fun!  I really enjoyed seeing the characters come to light more.  At this point here's my thought on who the killer is.  Chanel #2 seemed to fake her death possibly and Boone definitely faked his.  There are two chainsaw wielding Demons and the one did not take out Chad Radwell (Boone?)  This theory will probably change by next week, but for now: Chanel #2 and Boone did it.

Good night and good fright everyone!

Give Eva A Chance

Wrestling and reality tv fans...it's time to talk Eva Marie.  I'm not too big of a Total Divas fan anymore, first season was ok, but I fell off that bandwagon.  So let's talk All Red Everything on the wrestling side.

Two words that seem to spark instant rage in any wrestling fan seems to be: Eva Marie.  As to be WWE's complete antithesis to the Diva's Revolution, Eva Marie arrived on WWE NXT with her sights set on becoming the next NXT Women's Champion.  The red-haired bombshell was met with a chorus of boos after taking one step onto the NXT stage.

Let's be honest, this girl was never really given a chance.  She arrived as a pretty girl for a reality show and was thrown at the mercy of wrestling fans who were absolutely over seeing the "Diva Search" era of girls wrestling.  So, naturally she was facing a mountain of criticism from day one.

Now that she's actually attempting to be somewhat competent in the ring, the fans are giving her nothing but backlash.  As a fan of women's wrestling, I've watched since I began in 2000.  I've seen the glory of Lita and Trish, as well as, the low point of Kelly Kelly beating Beth Phoenix for months.  I've suffered through Diva Search contestants, through Halloween costume dance competitions, and through Maria Menounos.  I will now though, say this: Eva Marie is not the worst thing I've seen.

Eva Marie is doing something at the moment that you can't discredit her for: she's trying!  This woman is putting in effort to actually become something more than what she is, she's trying to become better, why are we so content with throwing her under a bus every chance we get?

I'm not saying you can't boo her as a character on TV.  Her character is basically who the WWE Universe thinks this woman is: an undeserving hot chick who is having everything handed to her.  Maybe that used to be the case, who knows really?  But I don't think that is how it's happening anymore, that's the reason she's on NXT.  She's making publicity, she's huge on Total Divas, but that's not all she needs to get over in the wrestling world.  Now, she's trying to learn the craft and prove she's not just a hot chick.

We're having to witness her growth in the ring: you're seeing this girl learn the business.  She's trying, cut the girl some slack.  That's all I'm asking.  If next year, we don't see an Eva Marie that can actually put on a quasi-decent match at least (a-la Rosa Mendes) then by all means, boo her out of the building.  But right now: #GiveThisDivaAChance

Elle King Wows On The Today Show

Have you heard of Elle King?  If you haven't, you need to check your radio, because her single Ex's and Oh's is blowing up!  King recently took her sultry yet smokey vocals to The Today Show as a part of Toyota's Summer Concert Series.  Check it out below!

Phenomenal right?  This lady has vocals that far surpass many vocalists twice her age.  This Ohio-born lady has every chance to be a new age Joplin.  Yes, I know that's a pill that some will have a hard time swallowing, but just listen to this again and tell me you can't hear it?

Keep on rocking Elle!  Can't wait for more!

Bob's Burgers: They're Baaaack

Above is just how I feel because Bob's Burgers is back and it's one of my favorite shows!!

Now for the bad news...this season premiere was not one of my favorites, in fact, it was far from it.  The episode goes back in time as the kids do their own takes on what it would be like if Bob and Linda never met.

Before you go ballistic on me, first off let me say that I'm a huge fan of this show, but this episode doesn't do it for me.  It reminds me of Season 4's The Frond Files, where we see the stories the kids wrote for school projects.  

This episode shows what would happen if Bob never had a mustache and in turn, never met Linda.  Gene's take on the story is that Bob would become Robo-Stache.  Louise says the two would just be honest with each other and meet later on.  Tina takes about how they would never have met, which leads into the most interesting part of the episode by far.  Tina's flashback/side story/whatever leads to an alternative universe where Linda marries Hugo and Bob becomes a health inspector.  This situation leads to a lot of fun callbacks to Human Flesh aka the pilot episode.

The bit thing here is that in all the scenarios, Bob and Linda always end up together, proving that true love does exist.  (Linda Voice:  Awwww, just like Mary and Joseph, having baby Jesus)  

An episode that didn't hit a home-run, but still managed to bring in some fun moments.  Hopefully the rest of the season brings in some magic, because of the adult animated shows, this one is by far my favorite and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in for season six.

Till next week, I leave you with Kuchi Kopi!

Family Guy: I Wrote This Review On Adderall

Ever thought that you couldn't really pay enough attention?  Ever felt jittery, unable to sit still?  Well, this episode of Family Guy Stewie gets diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed Adderall.  It's prescribed by Dr. Hartman in a scene where Stewie gives my favorite line of episode, a throwaway while pointing in the corner of the examination room and proclaiming, "There's a cat in here."  I died. Sorry, I got sidetracked, maybe I need Adderall.

This oddly seems like an early episode of South Park where all the kids get diagnosed with ADD.  The storyline is insanely similar, but has a twist to it, when Brian starts taking it too.  Brian becomes riddled with energy and becomes increasingly "creative".  The contrast between Stewie and Brian provides a lot of fun, culminating with Brian trying to pitch a fantasy world he created to George RR Martin.  Martin gives a great line saying, "Medication doesn't make you write well, it just makes you write a lot."  At the end of the episode, Brian and Stewie proclaim that neither of them have attention problems, they're just normal people who don't need medication.  Hopefully this gets a point across to the family guy viewers.

In B-Plot news, Quagmire gets a spot as a chef on a local TV show and Peter is cast as the goofy sidekick.  Peter is the reason Quagmire lands the gig, because the executives loved Peter's antics and wanted them as a duo.  The story seems like the Beefsquatch episode of Bob's Burgers.  

Peter and Quagmire of course split after they can't work together and then end up with individual cooking segments.  This ends up with them going Iron Chef on each other, with the loser leaving the Network.  The episode ends with Peter sacrificing his win for his friend and then together, they say the N word to get banned from food related television Paula Deen style.

Overall, I thought the episode had its funny points.  I was able to pick out storylines from two different shows that seemed to be picked from though.  I'm sure that's not the case at all, but you can't help but wonder sometimes.  Hopefully this season of Family Guy proves to be as good as its predecessors.  But only time will tell, until then...
