Man Crush Monday: Jordan Fisher

He's just so cute!

I haven't posted in a while. I'm sorry! I am really trying to do better! However, it's hard because it I close to finals and also since I'm a theater minor, I am helping with my college's production of Hair, which is two weeks away. I'M SORRY!!

Anyway, I wanted to write a post about Jordan Fisher. If you don't know who he is, he is the photo above. He played Seacat in Teen Beach Movie, which probably was his biggest role until recently. He played Doody in Grease Live! As someone who religiously grew up with the original 1978 film, with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, I think that he did a really great job.

He sang solo in the song, "Those Magic Changes" which has become my favorite song on the Grease Live! soundtrack. I'll insert the song below:

I'm sorry that the volume is so low. I can't change that, because it's part of the video. He is adorable and he sings very well. I never appreciated Jordan in Teen Beach Movie. My attention was grabbed by Riker Lynch, Garrett Clayton, and John DeLuca.

But since then, I have "unfanned" Riker and "fanned" Jordan. So I most likely will be watching it from a different perspective.

It's funny because as I was watching Grease Live! (which is on Netflix, by the way! ((and the soundtrack is on Spotify)) I looked at Doody and thought "he's cute and he's got a nice smile". It's weird because I recognized his smile, but I didn't know from what. After I watched the show in its entirety (even the bows at the end) I googled the cast. I looked at his name, Jordan Fisher, which was familiar, but from what? I went to his IMDb page, because unfortunately, he doesn't have a Wikipedia page, yet, and the first thing I noticed Teen Beach Movie. And then I clicked on it and yes, he plays Seacat.

I will probably be doing a few blogs about Grease Live! Probably a post about the show itself and then a blog comparing this cast to the original cast. Also probably a post about the actors themselves.

And I know, I owe you guys a lot of blog posts, but I am trying. I blog when I can and when I'm in the mood. I don't want to blog crappiness to you guys. I don't even know who any of you are, or if I even have actual.

Also, why is the Teen Beach Movie sequel called Teen Beach 2? I mean I know they stole the title idea from what happened with High School Musical and it worked, but still. The sequel title is so weird. And I know that I am a 19 year old college student who still enjoys Disney Channel original movies. Leave me alone! I will never outgrow Disney. But only if they keep making good movies and shows.

Like Teen Beach Movie is good. Jessie, Girl Meets World, Austin and Aly, and Liv & Maddie are good shows, but everything else is just mediocre, at least in my opinion. I'm from the generation of High School Musical, Cheetah Girls, Lizzie Maguire, Kim Possible. So I have a high expectations for Disney Channel.

That's enough ranting. Sorry.

Michael Joseph Jackson

Before I start this post, I just want to say ANY hate will not be tolerated and will be deleted.

Michael in the Bad era

Michael Jackson is known for being one of the best singers and dancers to have ever walked the Earth.

Don't believe me? Listen to any song. Watch any performance. He always tried to do his best in his performances. Sure toward the Bad era and forward up until his death, he started lip syncing, but he still tried his best dancing-wise.

And whether you believe he ever lip synced or not is up to you. My high school music teacher was a roadie (and got to play guitar for two nights) for the Bad tour and he explained that Michael lip synced.

But I don't think it's a bad thing for Michael to lip sync when he was dancing. I mean it's hard to do either and to do both, must be death.

I wanted to write this blog about Michael because I was a huge fan of Michael. I still am. I mean I have several books and DVDs. I bought his autobiography. I had a die-hard crush on him when I was in first grade. But then my older brother came and started telling me about the allegations of Michael "touching little boys". I was in first grade, but it still put me off.

Now fast forward to 6th grade. It was a few months before he died. I was sitting in my science class (which I hated) and my teacher put on the video for "They Don't Really Care About Us", the version they shot in Brazil, not the prison version. Why he played that in a science class, I will never understand. It probably made sense at the time, but that was almost seven year ago.

After watching that video, I started getting into Michael again and it was pretty awesome for a while. I got my younger brother into him with me. We had the Wii and it had internet on it, so we watched the videos on YouTube on the TV.

Then on the day of my older brother's 8th grade graduation, a friend of his texted him saying that Michael had died. None of us believed it, until my aunt asked one of my neighbors who said "Yeah. Died of a heart attack".

Now this was before I was the emotional mess I am today. So I didn't really feel anything. Just ehn. But I was still a fan of his. And I think his death made me more of a fan. I learned everything I could about him. Reading books, including his autobiography, and watching documentaries. I watched all of his music videos.

My little brother bought This is It on DVD. Personally, I think it would look better as part of my collection, but he bought it with his money, so I can't say anything.

Michael in his outfit from "Black or White" and with the- I wanna say Jaguar- from the video

If you were to call me Michael trash, you would be right. I know a lot about him. Too much sometimes. That is probably why I didn't have friends in high school.

I think my favorite album of his is Invincible. I don't know why, because that was the one album I kinda stayed away from when I was a die-hard fan.

But now it's my favorite album. And it has (I never knew before I listened to the album) my favorite Michael song which is "You Rock My World". The video is right below.

The video features Chris Tucker, and if you ever get the chance, watch some of his stand-up. I remember him talking about Michael and it was a funny story.

Also, besides Michael being a great singer and dancer, he makes beautiful music videos. Every single one of his videos is like a mini-movie. And then we have Moonwalker, the movie, and Ghost, the mini-movie. There is also Captain EO, which used to be on YouTube. I don't know if it's there anymore.

The man is amazing. Again, I will reiterate, that any hate will be deleted. I will not tolerate hate on my blog, not just about, but about anyone who I post about. I don't care how you feel about the person.

I was thinking of not just doing album reviews, but also music video reviews. So look forward for those in the near future.

I have a new laptop, so I will be posting more, but I also cracked my screen last night, so being that it was a touch screen it glitches a little bit sometimes because of the crack and the screen needed to be popped back in. Hopefully, I can get it fixed ASAP. The touch screen really does help.

So expect album reviews and music video reviews of Michael. And if you want to suggest some, just leave a comment and or email me at carterburton64@gmail.com.

Dallon James Weekes

He is so goddamn beautiful.

I should not obsess over Dallon because I have a rule about my obsessions. They cannot be married. Dallon is married to Breezy (which I ship wholeheartedly) but he's so pretty and he sings. And plays music and is adorable and I can't deal!

His children are adorable. His son, Knox, looks just like him.

I promise not to make this a long post.
But then again, I could probably write pages about this man.
We'll see what happens.

Dallon James Weekes.

Okay, so I've been a Panic at the Disco fan since 2012(ish) maybe before. But I was definitely a fan at my great uncle's funeral, when I was a freshman in high school. Because at every funeral I have gone to (which is unfortunately a lot) I always listen to Panic!. They have managed to take me away from my "problems". That is why I think it's safe to say that they are my favorite band. I never have to be in the mood to listen to them. If I'm ever in the mood to listen to music, and I don't know what to listen to, I just put Panic at the Disco on.

But anyway. Back on topic!

I remember being a fan when the band was just Spencer Smith and Brendon Urie. HOWEVER, apparently, Dallon was part of the band when I first became a fan. Whether he was a FULL TIME member or not, I couldn't tell you.

But I "discovered" him for myself three or four years ago. I was on Instagram (when am I ever not on Instagram) and someone posted a picture of him and Amelie, his daughter, and the caption was something like imagine Dallon picking his daughter up from kindergarten. And from that day forward I was curious to learn more about him.

I didn't learn much besides that he was a member of Panic at the Disco, but at least I was now aware of him.

As time progressed, I realized that the man is very attractive, but I left it at that, because I didn't know much about him.

Fast forward to New Years Eve, 2013. Welcoming 2014. I was watching a plethora of New Years celebrations on TV. Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years as always, but I was also watching something in Vegas, hosted by Mario Lopez and Panic! performed. Spencer wasn't playing drums, which really caught me off guard. At the time, I didn't know that he was in rehab (and that he would never return to the band). I think Dallon might have been performing with the band that night, but I don't remember.

Now fast forward to mid 2015. I became more aware of Dallon. Even though he's not a "real" member of Panic! now, I noticed him more in the videos.

Fast forward one more time to early 2016. I added him and his wife, Breezy on Snapchat and have unintentionally been falling more and more in love with him. Again, I respect Breezy and I respect their marriage and relationship, but I really do appreciate him being an attractive and amazing human being.

During my Spring Break, I discovered "Mean Ol Moon", a song that Dallon covered on his album TWOMINCVRS. And I became obsessed with the album and bought it. I have been listening to all three songs non-stop. Yes. There are only three songs on the album.

Album cover for TWOMINCVRS

A few days ago I discovered that Dallon (with the Brobecks and Brendon Urie) covered "Skid Row (Downtown)" from the musical, Little Shop of Horrors. The download is free and you can find it here.

I will forever shamelessly advertise Dallon, as long as he keeps making amazing music/covers.

Coincidentally, Little Shop, is one of my best friends' favorite musicals. We really want Dallon and Brendon to do a cover of "Suddenly Seymour" and I'll probably end this post with a letter to them asking to do "Suddenly Seymour". And I'll probably do a petition to get it done.

Also, if you have never watched the Little Shop of Horrors film with Rick Moranis, I HIGHLY recommend it.

So that is how I fell in love with Dallon Weekes.

Dear Dallon Weekes and Brendon Urie

My friend and I have heard your cover of "Skid Row (Downtown)" from Little Shop of Horrors and we really love it. We were wondering if you guys would be interested in doing "Suddenly Seymour". We tweeted you both, but since you have an immensely large following on Twitter, you probably did not see it. We suggest that Dallon sing Seymour's part and Brendon sings Audrey. But of course, if you do decide to do it, it is all completely your choice of arrangement. We really hope you do decide to cover the song.

Thank you for your time,
McCartha Montieth

Let's all pray that they see this.

PRAY FOR THEM TO COVER "SUDDENLY SEYMOUR"
