You're The One That I Want

If you are around my age, you are probably a big fan of the movie Grease. 

Heck, years later in college we would have drunken spirited sing-alongs to Summer Lovin', Hopelessly Devoted To You, Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee... (hmmm... maybe that's why none of my friends were "surprised" when I came out...)... and of course, You're The One That I Want.

Well, that last song is now giving its name to yet another reality, talent, singing competition coming to your television and TiVO box... as America votes in the next Danny and Sandy for a Broadway revival of Grease.

Needless to say, I am all over this one!   

So, while I wouldn't be doing a special blog entry just to promote another reality show (okay, I probably would)... this promo commercial was just too much fun not to share (and especially since a lot of us don't watch commercials anymore!)....

I haven't heard about judges (I assume there will be judges... and three of them!)... but c'mon they HAVE to get Olivia Newton John?!

Are you going to be watching?

UPDATE:  Well, the official NBC website is now online... unfortunately no Olivia... the trio of judges will be Jim Jacobs, David Ian, and Kathleen Marshall.

I got chills... hee. Grease always, always makes me want to break into song and dance, even if I can do neither well. I'll probably tune in for the first few shows to see how it goes and then decide. I guess it'll be based on the dynamic of the singers and whatever three panel judge they throw at this one.

Not sure I am your age (I first saw the movie in vetro), but I am a fan!
