Ace Young & Cast of “Grease” At Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade - American Idol - Ace Young
Our 100th post!
I missed this, but here it is, better late than never! Ace Young and the rest of the cast “Grease” sing “Greased Lightning” for CBS’ telecast of the 73rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
“Grease” is of course, the monster Broadway hit that has been around about as long as I’ve been alive. Young continues his run on The Great White Way until mid-January as Kenickie.
To be quite honest I found the performance really cheesy, but that’s what some musicals are. It’s a fun performance and a role that suits Young very well.
It’s ironic to me that Constantine Maroulis turned down the role originally, since you all know I’m not a big Maroulis fan. I just think something is off about Constantine; Ace seems more down-to-earth; he’s a Boulder guy and it’s been my experience that Boulder guys are just more laid back.
Every time I turn around I see Constantine’s street team sending me something. About the only place Maroulis hasn’t played a gig in is the 7-Eleven…and that includes his old band in NYC, too.
Young has been busy acting lately, having appeared on VH1’s Rock Of Love Charm School as a date for the “Rock Of Love” girls who had to “dress down” for a date with him and two other potential suitors. (You can read more about this madness on my other blog, Reality TV Circus.)
So good for Ace and his success. He’s a solid guy and a good singer.
