Grey's Anatomy Musical

On first viewing, I was not completely sure what to make of the Grey's Anatomy Music Event. It wasn't amazing...it wasn't terrible. It was weird...I think that's all I can say...it was different....
2nd viewing...SERIOUSLY?! Gotta use the Grey's catch phrase here...cause while I really enjoyed the songs and stuff...a lot of it was hard to take seriously.


-Love the songs....and I love that they got to show off the extra talents of some of their cast...particularly Sara, Chandra, and Kevin. I was also really surprised by the voices of the others, particularly Chyler! She was great!
-Not entirely sure why Addison HAD to be there...she barely did anything, and didn't end up being the one to save the baby. She barely sang too (I couldn't even pick her voice out)...it just seemed a little like a waste. And then she was missing for the whole of PPP...which wasn't the worst thing, but 2 eps in 1 season without Kate Walsh seemed wrong.
-the same goes for Scott Foley....really really pointless having him there for 1 scene, except for the fact that he can sing I guess...
-The whole Callie out of body thing was okay...'cept at some times the staring straight into the camera was weird...and it didn't make sense when people were singing when they were not anywhere near Callie....like Alex in his trailer....or Lexie walking around singing 'Breathe' -love the song, she sounded great, but it was ridiculous the way she went from talking to singing...far far away from Callie...and then being heard in the background. It made me laugh...in a bad way. Might be my least fave number for this reason. But I still love the song as a song.
-loved Alex's 'Seattle Grace Mercy Death' thing...he's got a point!
-SOOOO glad Dempsey didn't sing!
-Poor Teddy, even if she was wrong...Cristina really doesn't give her a whole ton of respect...I hope Kim's not leaving...not that I'd be crushed, but I do like her.
-I loved Sara singing 'The Story', but Callie's little music video was a little weird. It was a little hard to take seriously.


Random thoughts - It was a little weird seeing Kate Walsh in scenes with Sarah Drew, having just watched her episodes of Private Practice where she plays a different character...but anyways...
-I was also having a little PTSD with car crashes, after watching the season 3 finale of PPP on Friday...I was worried that something would happen to Arizona...I knew it wouldn't, but PPP made me stressed.

Overall, I was impressed with Ellen Pompeo's voice...and Jessica tried...but she really isn't anywhere near Sara's league when it comes to singing...I mean...she's got a Tony! lol..



I gotta also comment on Paul Adelstein's directorial debut with this week's ep of Private Practice. He did a good job, it was a good ep - with a few strange angles and what not....but he said he'll be directing again next season which will be fun. It was weird to have an ep of PPP without Kate AND Audra...but it was still good, but in a way it is kinda sad that it doesn't suffer from not having those 2 in it at the same time. I think that leaves Paul, Taye, KaDee and Tim as the only ones who have been in every ep.
Alex Kingston was back with her weird American accent....but at least Sheldon got to have some fun...he seriously needs a girlfriend that doesn't work in that building! (not that Charlotte was his girlfriend...but close enough). I really liked what they did with the counselling storyline, with Violet and Sheldon and the girls. I liked how they brought up issues of having a therapist publishing her life story and her patients being aware of it all. They brought back/killed off Pete's mother...that was kinda sad. Pete has a weird and depressing background. I LOVED that Charlotte got Cooper a piano, and it was very cute when Paul showed off his musical talents.
-I loved that they made another reference to Cooper's fave tv show American Bake-Off.
-I also noticed that they got new mugs at the OWG. The new ones are green with white logo, it used to be the reverse....the things you notice when you watch a few seasons together.
-it was weird to hear a Sarah McLachlan song in PPP, it's been a long time since one of her songs has popped up in something.
-Sheldon finally got his own place! ...well we finally got to see it. Maybe next year we'll find out where Amelia lives.
-Sam was also barely there too..he had nothing going on with his 2 women out of town....Sam needs to get a new storyline, something more interesting...I still don't care about the Addisam.


Okay well that's my wrap up of the Shonda shows for this week....they're not on next week...its gonna be a really dark week for tv. They might not even be coming back till the end of April. Oh well I'm looking forward to ep 20 on May 5th...Charlotte and Cooper's wedding will be interesting. Then it should be straight through to the finale.
