The Best of The Ed Sullivan Show

Dante Di Loreto and Ryan Murphy are the executive producers for the exciting new Glee Project that is a spin off (of sorts) from the popular Glee) and the casting director from Glee (Robert Ulrich) has moved over to The Glee Project as well. Each week there will be new challenges with the necessary eliminations to follow. Each cast member has their own part of a particular song the need to learn and then perform it before a mystery guest as the judge. When the part is done well enough they move on and perform for the guest star on a one on one basis in a music video which they will also create themselves. With help from professionals like Nikki Anders vocal producer and Zach Woodlee, a choreographer the contestants have to learn their parts to the best of their ability and perform in a professional manner. Callbacks will cull the group down, with the bottom three being offered a second chance to be safe. One of those bottom three will be eliminated and final callbacks will determine who moves on and who must leave. A list is posted and that is where finalists read of their fate.

When you crave a little more Snoop Dogg in your video viewing diet, ride shotgun with him on a guided tour through his dark world, savouring an all-Snoop soundtrack, and beholding the wonders of "More Malice." "More Malice," the movie, shows you why Snoop Dogg leads the league in "branding" "”the man, the myth, the legend, and the cloud of fragrant smoke around him"¦all trademarked, registered, patented, copyrighted, and owned. Although the Snoop himself doesn't often lay down a track any more, his blessing on an artist, a song, or a video bestows "the Midas touch." And he has more than enough in the Snoop Dogg catalogue to sustain brisk sales and mega-downloads pretty much until the world runs out of fossil fuels. You could close read and parse "More Malice," the movie, as the gospel according to Snoop, because it showcases everything good and super-bad about ghetto chic. The music and the movie would stand-up to the scrutiny. But it's a lot more fun and more characteristically Snoop just to go with the follow and see where the mean streets lead.

The Dave Matthews Band has been around since 1991, playing music that's been dubbed jazz, funk, and plain old rock and roll. Dave Matthews (songwriter, singer, and guitarist) is one of the founding members along with Stefan Lessard (drummer) and Carter Beauford (vocalist), LeRoi Moore (saxophone player) and Brad Tinsley (vocalist) who came along later. LeRoi Moore died in 2008 after an ATV accident. They consider themselves an American Jam Band and their musical preferences run to jazz, rock, bluegrass, soul, and even classical so they cover most bases when it comes to musical taste in their fans. They have a slew of music videos that have played well on such venues as MTV2 and around Europe as well. The Grammy Award winning Dave Matthews Band is also known as DMB and has been touring for twenty years now, making them solid and consistent in their abilities. Look for their hit music videos including Funny The Way It Is, All Along The Watchtower, Gravedigger, and The Space Between which can also be purchased on DVD.

With all the music and talent competitions floating around now days it was a wise decision to include some school pride and a cappella style singers. Each episode there are eliminations as expected, and a culmination at the end when the winners are announced. This season the competitors include Howard University, Dartmouth College, The University of Delaware, and Brigham Young University. In the first episode we see that The Cat's Pajamas (from Branson, MO) and the Fannin Family from Hortonville, WI were the first two groups to be eliminated. Hosted by Nick Lachey (former member of 98 Degrees, a boy band) and talented judges including Shawn Stockman (from Boyz II Men), Ben Folds (singer, songwriter) and Sara Bareilles (pianist, singer, songwriter) who replaces Nicole Scherzinger (lead singer of Pussycat Dolls) who moved to judge on The X Factor. Some super stars of the musical world will make appearances including Neil Diamond, Bobby McFerrin, Smokey Robinson, and Boyz II Men. For those who like pop music and anyone who appreciates talent when they see it this show insures a definite good time viewing.

The Best Dance Crew in America today announcements come with a price. Someone must lose and that means some really talented people must give way to those who are perhaps just a bit luckier on that particular day. Or they're just flat out more talented! Each week of the competition we see the show begin with auditions from multiple areas of the country. Most recently they were Los Angeles, California, New York, Huston, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois. From that diverse mixture judges must select the best and most promising. Celebrity judges include Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Katy Perry, and The Black Eyed Peas. Each crew must perform music from a specific artist for the weekly showdown. It may be the work of Lil Wayne or Rihanna or other talents who allow their performances to be mimicked by the contenders. Winners of each season will receive a prize of $100,000 so the competition is taken quite seriously by all. Audience (including home viewers) can vote for their favorites and as the competition narrows it becomes tense and those who survive each week are more determined than ever to win.
