And the Grammy (should) go to…

By Maryam Abutaleb January 25, 2011

2010 was a year of comebacks and uprisings, but ultimately, it was the year of pop.  From Lady Gaga to Justin Bieber, pop music was the soundtrack of 2010.  The Grammy Awards are just around the corner,...

Glee, Myself and I: ‘A Very Glee Christmas’

By Maryam Abutaleb December 8, 2010

I’m sad to say this will be my last review until Glee starts again in February.  In typical “Glee” fashion, this episode ended with a cheesy, feel-good moment so we can handle the hiatus.  But...

Glee, Myself and I: ‘Special Education’

By Maryam Abutaleb December 1, 2010
Okay, what? The majority of this episode was enjoyable, but it was also filled with a lot of weird events.

Glee, Myself and I: ‘Furt’

By Maryam Abutaleb November 24, 2010

This was my favorite episode yet.  It had just the right amount of drama, jokes, songs and feel-good moments. The episode centered on weddings: one between Kurt’s dad, Burt, and Finn’s mom,...

Glee, Myself and I: ‘Substitute’

By Maryam Abutaleb November 20, 2010
Will’s out, Holly Holiday is in, temporarily. And Principal Figgins is out, Sue is in, temporarily. Mercedes slowly slips from Kurt’s attention, and Blaine becomes his focus. Emma is oddly still nowhere to be seen in this episode, but Will’s ex-wife Terri makes an unexpected guest appearance.

By Maryam Abutaleb November 16, 2010
Formally known as "That Royal Bandit," Roy Briggs ('09) released his most recent rap album “Friend Me on Facebook: The Mixtape” Oct. 8. With deep lyrics and catchy rhythms, the only thing this Bandit steals is the show.

Glee, Myself and I: ‘Never Been Kissed’

By Maryam Abutaleb November 10, 2010

Let me start by saying that this is no longer a family show.  This week’s episode was much better than it was last week, but the content is definitely PG-13.  The writers don’t just focus on the...

Alum’s film featured in international festival

By Maryam Abutaleb November 3, 2010

Most filmmakers spend their lives  dreaming about strolling down the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in France.  Jeremy White (‘05) saw the flash of the papparazzi and met the stars at this...

Glee, Myself and I: Rocky Horror Glee Show

By Maryam Abutaleb November 1, 2010
The previews for this episode got my hopes up more than they should’ve. I'd waited two weeks for a sub-par “Rocky Horror Glee Show.” It wasn’t disappointing per se, but it could’ve been so much better.

“Speak Now” or forever hold your peace

By Maryam Abutaleb October 28, 2010
Taylor Swift's new album explores her past relationships as she sings about what went wrong. Featuring a wide range in sound, and moving lyrics, this may be her best album yet.

Glee, Myself and I: “Duets” is doubly amazing

By Maryam Abutaleb October 14, 2010

This week was definitely at least twice as great as last week's, and not only because the Glee club doubled up for duets. There were tons of upbeat musical numbers, the funny moments were funnier, and...
